CAPT. SCOTT, THE PROWLEv
ne REFUSES to Let an American Schooner
De raInfed in Dominion Waters.

EAsTPoRT, April "a.
Capt. Scott, the prowler of the Domin;or
SEAS mas daubed on another coat of war var.
nlsh and has puffed up until he is about resdv
10 ourst with sense of his importance. The
sentinel states that last week his schoona,
the "Landsdowne" made a cruise along the
North Shore and visited Beaver Harbor N
b. where the schooner Satellite was being
painted, and he ordered that vessel to leave.
Though the vessel is sailing under an Ameri-
can register and halls from Eastport she is
manned by British subjects The CAPTAIN of
the schooner informed the gallant captain of
the Dominion navy that his vessel had not
been in port twenty four hours, and also that
he had permit to touch and trade, but the
officer in gilt and gold paid no attention to
this and proceeded to read chapter or two
of the Dominion Fishery Laws. The "Lans.
downe" then departed, warning the captain of
the schooner not to be there on the return of
the steamer. Not thinking the cruiser would
make second visit to that place for some
time, the captain remained to finish painting
his vessel, but the following day the "Lans-
downe" appeared again. boat was sent
ashore and the captain of the schooner was
told that if his vessel was there at sunrise the
next morning she would be seized, but she
was not there. The vessel was brought to
Eastport to finish repairs and painting.

A Letter From Gladstone,

LONDON, April 25
Mr.. Gladstone has written the following
letter to the Chronicles
sit is not my custom to comment on state
ments made by hostile newspapers, but hav-
ing sincere respect tor the Chronicle would
call attention to the allegation made by it in
a leader that have heretofore taught that
home rule in Ireland would be source of i'm
perial danger. | will not challenge the proof
of the assertion, which was doubtless made in
good faith, but it is entirely an error have
always asked for the explanation of the mean
ing of home rule in order to make clear the
question whether or not it would be a source
OF danger. We have now learned the de-
mand of Ireland from five-sixth of her cho sen
representatives. Such home rule is, in the
language of my address of September last,
source not of danger but of strength. The
danger, if any, lies in refusing it,"

WHEAT REPORT.
The Weather of the Past Two Weeks
Proves Very Flattering for an Average
Crop.

CHICAGO, April 25.
The Farmers Review will tomorrow print
the following crop review based on its re-
turns from correspondents up to last night :
"The weather has been exceptionally fav-
orable during the past ten DAYS for spring
wheat seeding and been improved to the most
in Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska. Minnesota
and Dakota. Fully one-half to two-thirds of
the entire acreage in Dakota and Minnesota
has already been seeded and under conditions
which could have hardly been excelled. The
seeding is progressing favorably in Wiscon-
sin and Dakota, but in Nebraska complaint
of wet weather still continues and considera-
Bile land which would have otherwise been
devoted to wheat has gone to flax and oats.
While the reports are not yet complete the
Indications are tor slightly decreased acre
age in Wisconsin and Minnesota and coEsid-
erable increase in Dakota.
Reports from winter wheat States show
little variation from those of the preceding
two weeks. Kansas bulletins do not indicate
anv improvement. The outlook at best is
that the yield will not exceed one-third to
one-half an average crop In Dickinson and
other countries the failure is almost total and
the fields have been plowed under and de-
voted to oats and other grains Reports from
Michigan also show very little or no improve
ment. The prospects are from 63 to so per
cent. of an average crop in different counties.
Reports of damage from the Hessian fly came
from three Michigan counties and from
Roanoke county in Indiana, but the injury
reported thus far is not serious. The reports
from Indiana and Ohio are very favorable,
while the reports from Missouri and Ten
nessee continue very tlattering. The weather
for the past two weeks has proved extremely
favorable. with the exception of one county
in Kentucky (Johnson) where there is prom
ise of not to exceed half crop. The returns
continue very favorable
