special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. April 25.-The opponents of the
admission of Dakota are very emphatic in their
opposition, and do not propose that any legisla-
ton of any character looking to the division of
the Territory shall pass this Congress if they
can prevent it. 1t is likely that the committee
on Territories in the House will report favorably
tho bill introduced by Representative Hill, chair
man of the committee which provides for the
division of the Territory and for an enabling act
to admit the southern half on certain conditions.
These conditions are. primarily, that majority

crease in Dakota. The reports from the winter
wheat States show little variation from those of
the preceding two weeks. Kansas bulletins do
not indicate any Improvement. The outlook at
the best is that the yield will not exceed one
third to one-half an average crop. In Dickinson
and other counties the failure is almost total
and the fields have been plowed under and de-
voted to oats and other grains. The reports
from Michigan also show very little or no inn
provement. The prospects are for from Go to So
per cent. of average crop in the different
counties. Reports of damage from the Hessian
iy come from three Michigan counties, and from
Roanoke, but the injury reported thus far is not
serious. The generality of the reports from In
diana and Ohio are very favorable, while the re-
Dorts from Missouri and Tennessee continue
weeks proving extremely favorable. With the
exception of one county in Kentucky (Johnson)
where there iS the promise of not to exceed half
crop, the returns continue very favorable.

DATE OF INAUGURATION.

Senator Ingalls's Proposition to Change 1t
from March to April 80.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 25.-There has been a
fresh outbreak of the agitation over Senator
Ingalls's proposition to amend the Constitution
so as to provide for the Inauguration of the next
President on the 30th Of April, instead of the
4th of March. 1889, and to make the Both Of
April the date of inauguration in the future
There is good deal to be said in behalf of this
project and very little that can be advanced
against it, Fixing the 3Oth of April as the date
for the close Of the short session Of Congress
would give two months extra time
for the transaction of business in
odd years. and would prevent the
hurry and rush which always comes with the
last few days Of the short session of Congress.
1t would, besides, bring the Inauguration cere-
monies in the spring instead Of in the meanest
month in the year, and would be beneficial in a
great many respects There is some chance that
the ingalls, resolution may receive the indorse-
ment Of Congress- and that it may be submitted
to the people for ratification in time to 60 into
effect with the beginning of the term of the sue
cessor to President Cleveland. About the only
objection that has been advanced thus far to
this proposition is made by. the people of the

agree upon measures to coerce Greece into an
abandonment of her preparations for war against
Tu, ey. France declares herself averse to going
so 1ar as to withdraw her ambassador from
Athens or to partake in the general blockade OF
Grecian ports by the powers, though she is will
ing to join in joint mandate urging Greece to
abstain from hostilities. Russia also hesitates
to support Engands proposition. Earl Rose
berry, however, has hopes Of eventually overcom-
ing Russia's reluctance. The Greek government
bases its continued hostile preparations upon the
apparently hopeless nature of these disagree
ments among the powers. The resources of her
treasury will, it is held, permit these expensive
menaces to be prolonged for three months

cumstance now learned, that the ambassador is
