The announcement from the head
Quarters of the national Democratic cam
paign committee that the election in
New York state is SO close as to require
the official count to determine how 1t

party managers time and opportunity to
doctor the returns so as to overcome the
majority against them, If possible. But
it is no use. They will not be permitted
to practice any of their favorite methods
OF obtaining majorities after the polls are
closed and the result is known. Such

THE BILLINGS TRIAL.
The State Closes Its Testimony.
All Evidence Against The Pris.

The State Closes Its Testimony
All Evidence Against The Pris-
oner.
Special to the Globe.
WAvERLY, To-, April 10.-The testi-
mony in the Billings murder case
closed on the part of the state to-day.
So far it looks very bad for Billings, who
claims that he was shot in the back by
Kingsley as he was running down
stairs. The testimony of several wit
lnesses already examined prove that the
wound in his back was not bleeding
when examined five minutes after the
tragedy, and there was no blood around
it except little dried blood at the un
derside of the wound. Dr.. Ford, re-
called to-day, stated that he was cor
oner at the inquest and that several
times during the investigation OF that
body he saw Billings wet his finger and
rub at his coat sleeve. Ford called
the attention of the jury to these actions
and j. A. Bacher testified that he saw
the same thing. Upon examining the
coat to-day it wasa seen that the place
where Billings was rubbing was colOred,
and the spots have the appearance OF
being blood stains. The affidavit of
Miss Shane generating Kingsley was
taken in testimony by the court to-day,
and this, with other exhibits, re-an-
nounces the fact that if Billings is not
legally, he is certainly morally guilty of
the death of Kingsley. The case so far
indicates an outrageous attempt at
blackmail, in which other parties are
implicated.

Crawled Home to Die.

DETROIT, Mich, April o. Thomas c.
Fraser, brother of Allen and Robert
Fraser, prominent lawyers of this city,
disappeared on March 25. Systematic
search by the police failed to reveal his
whereabouts, and it was supposed he
had fallen into the river and drowned.
Last evening his mother went to the
store room house for some blank
cts piled Oh an unused bed. A
mattress lay on top of the quilts.
She turned back the mattress and there,
son. From the appearance of the body
it was evident he had been dead for
several days. A post mortem eXamina-
ton was held this morning and the dis
covery made that his skull was frac-
tured. 1t is now believed that he was
sand .bagged ON his way home, found
his way into the house in dazed con-
dition, got into the wrong room and
craWled under the mattress and died.

THE FISHERIES TREATY.
Sir Charles Moves a Second Read
ing and Is Opposed by Davis.

ing and Is Opposed by Davis.
OTTAWA, April 10.-In the house of
commons this afternoon Sir Charles
Tupper, minister of finance, moved the
second reading of the bill to ratify the
fisheries treaty. In his speech in sup
port of the motion, Sir Charles reviewed
the circumstances connected with
former treaties between the United
States and Great Britain concerning
the fisheries of Canada. The reciprocity
treaty of 1854 was a just one, and he be-
lieved the majority of the people of both
countries believed its abrOgation was
mistake. This abrogation was caused
by an ill-founded belief in the United
States that Canada had helped the South
during the late war. The truth was
that Canada had tried to prevent the
South from harassing the North
through Canadian territory. He be-
for the Union to one who fought against
it, as shown by the number receiving
pensions from the United States.
In conclusion, Sir Charles declared it to
be of the most vital Importance to
Canada and to the best interests of the
British empire that this treaty should
be adopted Mr.. Davies, of Prince Ed
wards Island, replied in opposition to
Sir Charles motion. He held that the
treaty was an unconditional surrender
on the part of Canada of all that the
Americans claimed, and that Canada
was to-day asked to cCncede at the point
of the bayonet what she ought to have
yielded gracefully long ago. When Mr..
Davies had concluded, the minister of
justice replied in brief speech, review
ing the points made by Mr. Davies.

FARM STATISTICS
Condition of Winter Grain and
Farm Animals.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The April
statistical returns to the department of
agriculture relate to the condition Of
winter grain and of farm animals. The
season for seeding was long. three
months in some of the Southern states
and the appearance as winter set in was
uneven, though tine plants were rooted.
In the states affected by summer
drOuth, there was slow termination in
soils not well pulverized, caus-
ing thin stands in such areas.
Hence superficial impression of condi-
ton was made which our trained CORE
spOndents saw at once was deceptive,
and that the impairment of status was
slight. Later rains improved the pros
pect. In the South the soil was i'm good
tilth and fall growth generally good. In
the Middle States the seeding season
was moderately favorable, though in
some places the soil was dry. In Cali
fornia, with some exceptions, very
favorable season for seeding and
termination is reported. Drought
in Oregon delayed planting growth.
Only partial winter protection was en-
jOyed in the Northern belt. The varia-
bic temperature of March seriously in
jured the plant in the central states Of
the West, and some loss from winter
killing appears even in Texas. On the
Atlantic coast the winter injury was
very slight. South of Maryland, tenn
perature was mild and favorable. The
present appearance of the crop is quite
unfavorable. AS the spring is late, the
present growth of late sOwn is COM
paratively small; favorable spring
weather might make material
improvement. The average Of
present conditions is SO, lower than in
recent years, excepting only 1883 and
1885, when the averages were 50 and 76,
respectively. The averages of the
states of principal production are as
follows: New York "a, Pennsylvania
90, Ohio 6S, Michigan 76, Indiana 70,
Illinois "a, Missouri S2, Kansas %. The
average of Texas is SS, and Of most Of
the Southern states higher, from
81 in Arkansas to 81 in Ten
nessee, though the area seeded
is small in all this region. The cOndi-
ton of rye Is much higher, standing at
93.5 for the entire breadth. The cOndi-
ton of farm animals is comparatively
good. There has been some disease
among horses, and hog cholera has been
somewhat prevalent during the past
year, in its usual habitat. The esti-
mated losses from diseases and casual-
ties are averaged as follows, for each
200 animals: Horses, Is: cattle, 20;
sheep, 46; swine, 7S.

Railway company held this afternoon in
this city. President YoumanS was in
the chair, and among the important
business matters transacted was
change in the directory of the company.
According to previous understanding,
Judge William Mitchell, ex-Gov. Yale,
eX-MayOr Mathews, and John
Robson, the Lansing lumberman,
resigned their offices as directors, and
in their stead were elected John l.
Blair, the railroad magnate, of Plain
field, N. j.; William p. Halstead. of
New York. general manager of the Del
aware, Lackawanna & Western rail
way; I. b. Walker, representing Presi-
dent Sloane, of the Lackawanna, and
William III. Lyon, a New York capital
ist. Hon. Earle S. Youman then ten
dered his resignation as president, and
William Wiudom was elected to
succeed him. Negotiations were
$S,OOO,OOO from the Farmers Loan
and Trust company, of New York, to be
used in the construction of the line from
Winona to Omaha. A traffic agreement
was also cOnSummated between the
WinOna & Southwestern railway and
the Green Bay, Winona q st. Paul rail-
way, the issue of the loan being condi-
tional upon this. This action
of the company has created
good deal of stir tonight among
business men, who are jubilant
over the turn matters have taken.
The immediate construction of the line
is assured. Probably the only delay in
the actual commencement of work will
be the definite location of the line.
Preliminary surveys were made over
several routes last summer and fall.
Towns along the proposed lines are
competing for the location of the lines,
and liberal bonuses have been voted at
several of them.

day Dispatch Offices Gutted by
Fire.
BINGHAMToN. N. Y, April 10.-Fire
was discovered in the Leader block OH
Water street at o'clock tonight. A
high wind prevailed at the time and the
flames shot rapidly from the basement
to the roof and in three hours the four
story brick building was complete
wreck. The ground floor of the block
was occupied by Murphy's saloon, Low
ell Harding, dealer in hides and leather,
and third floors contained the editorial,
composing and job departments of the
Daily Leader and Sunday Dispatch. On
the fourth floor was Bishops cabinet
shop and half dozen private families.
Several of the latter had narrow escapes.
Rachael Gibbs and her daughter, Kittie,
were dragged from their rooms in an
unconscious condition with their faces
and hands severely burned. A. w.
Carl, editor of the Leader, was over
come by the heat and had to be carried
out. Simon Enstein, volunteer fire
man, was knocked from ladder by a
falling cOrnice, but was rescued from
the blazing emberS only slightly in
jured. The total loss is estimated at
$4,000, fairly we'll covered by insurance.
The Daily Leaders loss is total, with
the exception Of a new dress of type
valued at $1,000, which was saved. Tenn
porary quarters have been secured and
the Leader will appear tomorrow IN
new dress. The Dispatch will also issue
on Sunday. The origin of the fire is
unknown.

POWDERLY'S POINTER.
His Advice to WOrkingmen-Re-
solve less and Educate More

His Advice to WOrkingmen-Re-
solve Less and Educate More.
New YORK, April 10.-General Mas
ter Workman Powderly has written a
letter to the Knights Of Labor through
out the country in regard to hours of
labor. He advises the Knights to dis
cuss the eight-hour plan dispassionately
with their employers. He says that an
immediate change cannot be insisted
on, but that practical plan should be
perfected. He says: "The working
men and the common people generally
are the rulers in our cities and towns,
and they should at once begin to make
their power felt in the matter of short
ening the hours of labor of the en-
plOyes of the cities and towns. The
order need not be made a political
machine to do this. Do not
attempt by having it said that you have
no right as an order to mix in politics.
The order must not be dragged into
partisan politics, but our members
should take an active part as citizens in
the discharge Of their duty at the polls,
and afterwards vote for men who favor
shortening the hours of labor of en-
plOyeS in municipalities.
''Begin at once to perfectna practical
plan of OperntionS looking to the inau-
geration of the eight-hour day. Pass
no resolutions that you will do it on
such day; pass no resolutions of any
kind, but work on the plan, and when
the time comes to put it into operation
it can be done without resolutions.
Consult employers; get their views; ar
range with them for meetings to perfect
plans and make an attempt to bring
about better feeling between working
men and employers than has existed for
some time back. 1t is true that many
employers will not cOndeScend to meet
with or talk to their employees. Purse
proud worms, who are to be claSSed
among the ignorant ricb,' will live to
stand in their own and the cOmmunity'S
light for ages to come, but the world
does not move around them. The day
is coming in this land when the en-
ployer who has the manhood, the patri-
otism and the sense to talk in straight
forward way to his employees will be en-
titled to and will receive more of honor
and wealth than the selfish fellow upon
whom fortune has Sh0Wered riches and
nothing else, unless it be an i'll nature.
Our members should not miss an oppOr-
tunity to discuss some plank in our pre-
amble at each meeting during the COM
ing year. Take up the eight-hOur plan
and discuss it, side by side with the one
which calls for the establishment Of a
government telegraph.
