That is precisely what this national prohi-

A Dakota Eltlorado.

HOWARD, DAK,Aug 3l.-Great excitment
exists among all classes here, brought
about by the finding'of golddust thickly
mixed wita the sand thrown from some
excavations being done for well purposes.
Old miners were soon on the spot and pro-
neunced the find very promising. From
the quantity obtained an assay was made
vaiuing the quality at $18 per ounce. The
only trO0ble if a vein is found will be near
ness of surface, water as excavations of
$50 feet quickly ELL with water to depth
of 1s0 feet. The find seems to lie under the
surface of the main streets of town.

NEW YORK, Aug. 90.-A Times London
special says: 1t now seems to be a fact
that the Old World needs about 100000 to
8O,OOO,OOO bushels of wheat more than the
harvests of the year will produce. TO put
it in another way, the countries which al
ways have to buy wheat must this year buy
some 295, 100000 bushels, while the countries
raising more than they consume will have
about 295,OOOOOO bushels to SELL Yester-
days terrific storm of wind and rain ended
whatever chance remained of decent crops
in Great Britain and the English must now
import at least 150 ,O00, 900 bushels. France,
which next to the United States is the
greatest wheat producer in the world, has
one OF the worst crops ever reaped. A
week ago it was estimated she would need
to import 68O00,O0O bushels. Now since
the fresh storm and the discovery by the
first threshing Of the bad quality of the
grain the shortage is put at $4,000, 900 BUSH
els by the Mercuriate Des.H Holes, and at
& Co. Germany. Italy and the Neither
lands must buy
MORE WHEAT THAN USUAL
this year of the great exporting coun-
tries. We understand here that the United
States and Canada can be counted on to
supply about 1OSOOO,OOO bushels, Russia
9OO0O,OOO and India 35,OO0OOO, but in these
latter countries there is much more uncer-
tainty than in the former. From Russia,
for instance, there are all sorts of reports,
latterly quite unfavOrable, and from India
it is even more difficult to get the truth.
Judging from our special reports from the
wheat producing states published this
morning, the United States will not be in a
position to furnish very much of the TO-
according to our London correspondent,
will be required to meet the deficiency
caused by poor crops in the old world.
THE CROPS AT HOME.
ST. PAUL, Aug. SO.-The weekly crop re-
port from the northwest was receiveda at
the Manitoba's general Office this morning.
The reports show an average yield of eigh-
teen bushels of wheat to the acre in the
central and northern portions of the state
and about fifteen bushels to the acre in
Dakota and the extreme west. The har-
vesting and threshing is nearly all COM
pleted throughout Minnesota and is pro-
wheat in northwestern localities has been
somewhat damaged by frost it is not
nearly so bad as first reported, and owing
to the fact that the farmers get about the
same price this year for No. 2 northern
as was received last year for No. hard
it is anticipated that they will be better off
this year than last. The most favorable
reports come from points on the Water
town, Aberdeen and Glendale branches.
Several elevators along the: lines have
commenced receiving new wheat.

PRICE FIVE CENTS.
CONGREGATIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Senate.

resolution to extend to the 18th of Septem-
Der next the joint resolution of July s1st
to provide temporarily for the expenses of
the government was reported and passed.
Mr.. Vest criticised some statements made
by MIR. Cullom yesterday in his speech,
particularly as to the violation of civil
service reform in the Chicago postoffice.
The statement was that Mr.. Judd, the
postmaster, allowed the postoffice en-
ployes to be taxed for democratic cam
paign expenses by Mr.. Fisher, the law
partner of Mr.. Judd. "If Mr.. judd" said
MIR. Vest, "had thus through his law part
ner emulated the example which the re-
publican party had set for many years he
ought to be put out Of Office and receive
the condemnation of every honest man,
AS counterpose to that charge MI. Vest
sent to the clerks table and had read
several letters from Mr.. Cullom to Mr..
Dudley when commissioner of pensions,
asking for leave of absense with pay
of pension examiner to make political
speeches in Illinois. Mr.. Cullom admitted
having written such letters, though he did
not know whether those were true copies,
but defended his action on the ground that
the government employees were entitled
to thirty days annual leave of absence with
pay. Mr.. Hale pointed Mr.. Vest to
modern instance of the violation of civil
service reform and sent to the clerks desk
and had read a Washington dispatch in
the New York Tribune stating that Mr..
John W. Trainor, who is in charge of the
document room of the national democratic
committee in New York, is an official of
the interior department with a salary of
$1,80O. Mr.. Vest said he would as soon
quote from the writings of Tom Paine to
Christian congregation as to quote
statement against the democratic party
from the New York Tribune. The senate
then resumed consideration of the
fortifcation bill begun yesterday. Mr..
Hawley offered an amendment providing
that nothing in the act shall be constructed
to alter or repeal the existing provisions of
law prescribing the duties and powers Of
any department of the army. Pending a
vote on Mr.. Hawley's amendment there
was call of the senate and when the pre-
siding officer announced that thirty-fve
senators less than quorum had answered
to their names he was inquired of by Mr.
Riddlel erger whether it would be in order
to state that only fourteen of these were
democrats. The presiding officer said he,
thought not and Mr.. Riddleberger remarked
then: II have not said it." After some.
delay the presence of quorum was Sc
cured, Mr.. Hawleys amendment was re-
jected and the bill was passed. Mr.. Stew,
art asked unanimous consent that the bill
for the admission of the state of Washing
ton be taken up at 2 o'clock Monday and
continued until disposed Of Mr.. Riddle
berger objected. Mr.. Stewart gave notice
that as that bill is now the unfinished busi-
ness he would after 2 o'clock Monday in
sist upon it's consideration. Adjourned till
| Monday.

The House.

The house again took up the Oklahoma
bill, the pending amendment being that
offered by Mr.. Anderson of Iowa provid-
ing that honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors of the war of the rebellion shall be
permitted to enter lands in the proposed
territory without the payment of the pur-
chase price provided for by the bill. After
some time had been spent in securing a
quorum the amendment was rejected-72
to 90. The committee rose informally in
order to allow Mr.. McCreary of Kentucky
to report from the committee on foreign
affairs substitute for the Wilson retalia-
ton bill and he gave notice that he would
call it up for consideration on Saturday
next. Mr.. Springer hoped the members of
the house would appreciate the Importance
of the subject sufficiently to be in their
seats while it was considered. The
bill was ordered printed and
recommitted. The entire afternoon
was consumed in an unsuccessful effort to
secure quorum, and without action the
committee on the Oklahoma bill rose. Mr..
Springer of Illinois, as privilege question,
offered resolution requesting the SER
geant-at.arms to telegraph to the absent
members that their presence is required
Immediately in order that public business
may be transacted. Mr. Cannon of Illinois
doubted the efficacy of the telegram. Ii
the utterances of the leader of the house
(Mr. Mills) made in Chicago recently, that
the British Lion was to be taken by the
snout, would not bring the members back,
what would simple little telegram dc? !?
The speaker ruled the resolution not in
order. Mr.. McCreary asked consent to
have the retaliation bill made special
order for Monday instead of Saturday, but
ground that Mo nday was suspension day.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Senate.

t.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 9O.-In the senate
Mr.. Blair offered resolution which was
referred to the committee on contingent
expenses, instructing the committee ON
Interstate commerce to examine fully into
the system of mechanical telegraph now on
exhibition at the capital and to secure the
aid of competent and disinterested experts.
He explained that the object of his resolu-
tion was to have this system of telegraph
examined and if found as represented, to
secure 1T for the benefit of the people. The
senate then resumed consideration of the
presidents retaliatory message and Mr..
George proceeded with the speech which
he had begun yesterday. He de-
MED the assertion made by Mr.. Ed
munds in his speech last week
that the president had right to suspend
the operation of section 20O6 of the Revised
Statutes (Which allows the transit of goods
between the United States and Canada
without the payment of duty). Senator
Cullom said the rejection of the fisheries
treaty by the senate had met the approval
OF very large majority of the people Of
the country. The retaliation message
might be fairly taken as evidence that even
the president had become satisfied that the
treaty was a mistake. To make good what
he had lost by that mistake the president
had launched out Into broader sea and
would find himself in deeper water than
ever befare and with greater danger
threatening him. At the close Of Mr.. Cul-
lom's speech the subject went over without
action Soon after the senate adjourned.
