Troubles in Berlin.

ST. PETERSBURG, April I2.-The Journal
de st. Petersburg, referring to the pro-
posed marriage of Prince Alexander of
Battenberg and Princess Victoria, the
daughter of the German Emperor, to-
day says: g Every one knows the
causes which aIienated Prince Alex
ander from his august protector, and
everyone remembers the late Emperor
Williams condemnation of the Princes
actions, which were not only migrate
iul but compromised the peace OF Eu-
rope. "Who knows, says the paper,
but that the placing of Prince Alexan-
der in a new high position might re-
kindle thoughts of his return among
the leaders Of the Bulgarian revolution,
and, notwithstanding assurances to the
contrary, deier t; e establishment of
tranquility in the Balkans, and also of
pacific relations between the powers?
The question is how to reconcile these
possible consequences with Prince Bis

CROP REPORT.
April statistics from the Department of
Agriculture.


Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, ID. C., April I0-The
April statistical returns to the Depart
ment of Agriculture relate to the condi-
tion Of winter grain and of farm animals.
The season for seeding was long. three
months n some of the Southern states,
and the appearance as winter set in vas
uneven, though the plants were rooted,
In the states affected by summer drought
there was slow termination in soils not
well pulyerized, causing thin stands in
such areas. Later rains improved the
prospect. In the South the soil was in
good tilth ana full growth generally
good. In the middle states the seeding
season was moderately favorable
though in some places the soil was
dry. In California. with some excep-
tions, a very favorable season for seed
ing and termination Is reported.
Drought in Oregon delayed plant
growth. Only partial winter protec-
ton was enjoyed IN the northern belt.
The variable temperature Of March seri-
ously injured 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 81 ght. South of Mary
land the temperature was mild
and favorable. The present appearance
of the crop is quite unfavorable.
As the spring is late and present growth
of late sown comparatively small,
favorable spring weather might make
material improvement. The average of
present condition is 50 lower than in
recent years, excepting only in 1888 and
1885, when the averages were so and rs
respectively. The averages of the
states of principal productions are as
follows: New York, 81; Pennsylvania,
so; Ohio, 6S; Michigan, 76; Indiana, 70;
Illinois, "A; Missouri, 81; Kansas, 81.
The average of Texas is SS and of most
of the Southern states is higher, though
the area seeded is small in all this re-

FOUGHT THE POLICE.


CHICAGO, H., April IA crew of
Burlington switchmen went to the West
ern Avenue yards of the St Paul Road
late yesterday afternoon, with train of
thirty cars. Upon its arrival there some
st. Paul switchmen and lot of outsid-
ets. commenced to pull coupling pins
and throw them away as fast
as the Burlington switchmen could
replace them The police attempt
ed to protect the 20" men
and finally made some arrests. Bv this
time q crowd of about 100 had gathered,
and the crowd did not propose to see
anybody taken TO the station. They
rescued the prisoners as fast as they
were arrested. and lively scrimmage
ensued. Finally call was turned in
which was responded TO by eight addi-
tional officers, and three st. Paul switch
men were arrested and are now locked
up at the West Chicago Avenue station.

thrown, but no one was hurt.

IN LINCOLN'S uEMORY.
Observing the Anniversary of the Assas-
sination of the Emancipationist.


SPRINGTIELD, Ill, April 14.-Twenty-
three years ago to-day Abraham Lincoln
was assassinated. Tonight, in the capi-
tol of his own state, the event will be
observed with impressive services under
the auspices of the newly formed Lin
coin Memorial League" which has for
its object the observance of the day
throughout the country in the same
spirit al though with different ceremo-
MES, that marks the observance
of Washington's birthday. The
active membership of the central COM
mittee of the new league is limited to
thirty -eigtt-one for each state-and
new members can only be admitted
when new state comes into the Union.
State members can form state unions,
and these, in turn, local ones, and by
this system 1t is believed that before
many years the anniversary of the death
OF the first lnattyred President will be
annually commemorated in every town
IN the country, and his memory thus
kept green so long as the country exists.

that Tabor is entitled to division of
the land, and that none of the defend
