INDIANA WHIIE CAPS.

NEW ALBANY Ind, May 3-About forty
White Caps called at the home of w. H.
Toney, at English, Crawford county. forty
miles south of here, on the air line rail
road, Tuesday night, dragged him to a
telegraph pole and tied and whipped him
unmerciful with a hickory stick. Blood
was spattered about the telegraph pole
and the mans body was terribly lacerated
in a horrible manner. He begged pite-
ously. His recovery is doubtful. He is a
prominent citizen of that county, and is a
man of considerable means. He has a
wife and family. The charge against
Toney was drunkenness and abuse of his
family. ,Jakson Goodman, who also lives
near English, was notified to change his
manner of doing business by Keeping
sober. JAS. Pro, editor of the English
News, was notified TO publish that White
Caps would attend the election next
November and that all persons detected
in buying or selling votes or acting in any
way dishonorably would be treated TO
lashes.
None of the White Caps are known and
it is stated that they are much stronger
and more diligent than before. Ii is
believed that many OF them belong in ad-
joining counties OF Harrison and Orange.
The people of Crawford county are much
excited and an attempt will be made to
organize large company of good citizens
to capture the outlaws. An attempt will
also be made TO get Governor GRAY TO send
the state militia TO the county so that
citizens can have more protection. No
one can tell when ne is TO be logged next

THE ANARCHISTS, CASES

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 3.-Georee Sahilling
State Senator Burke, General Trumbull
and Louis Neebe, returned this evenins
from Joliet where they had gone to consult
with the imprisoned anarchists, Samuel
Fielder, Michael Schwab and Oscar Neebe.
as to the details of movement for
amnesty. The conference with the pris-
oners occupied an hour and it was decided
to Immediately call mass meeting of
sympathizers at which the matter of a
pardon will be thoroughly discussed and
plans to obtain it formulated.
The most available project so far con
sidered is to present a monster petition TO
the governor with signers from all the
states in the union. In getting up and
circulating the petitions politicalinfluence
will be used.
Louis Neebe said tonight that while
Schwab and Fielden seem in good health
and spirits, Oscar Neebe is breaking down
physically and mentally.
An independent, separate movement in
favor of Oscar Neehe is among the proba-
bilities, Louis Neebe being somewhat of a
politician and always an anti-socialist and
anti-anarchist.

CROP PROSPECTS.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 3.-The Northwestern
Miller's crop review is as follows:
April closed under nearly the same con-
ditions that the month opened with, save
this improvement, that in many portions
of the winter wheat belt rains fell. While
in many sections chinch bugs have devel-
oped in nearly every state in the winter
belt, in Missouri and Kansas they have
been held back from doing any damage ex-
oept locally by the cold weather, which has
been the prevailing feature of April
Looking at the situation as whole in an
era north of the Ohio river and west TO the
Mississippi, probably at no time in the his
tory of this crop was the outlook in Michi-
gan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois as poor as
1t Is today. Reports from nlillers and
elevator men along the lines of the North
ern Pacific and the Manitoba roads as far
north as Grand Fork, show that the
ground Is in excellent condition and seed

SO each. The charter assigned by citizens
of fourteen states and three territories.
The following official report of the Kan
sas state board of agriculture, submitted
by Secretary Mohler, is based on returns
from correspondents representing every
section of the state, and constituting their
estimates for May l:

During the month of April, with but
few exceptions. rains have been abundant
in the eastern half of the state, also in the
southwestern portion. In west, central
and north central Kansas, and generally
throughout the northwest, the rainfall
was light and crops have suffered some
what. In many counties east of the 9Sth
meridian, chinch bugs are reported numer-
Gus, but only in few counties as having
damaged the crop to any extent. On the
whole the situation throughout the state
is quite satisfactory, and the farmers gen
ally are as hopeful as they were month

MEXICAN NAILS.
The Causes of Delay at Ell Paso and
Piedras Negras

Ell PAso, Tex, May "A short time ago
a new railroad line from the Rio Grande
to the City OF Mexico was formerly opened
the International railway-from Eagle
Pass to Piedras Negras to junction with
the Mexican Central railroad. 1t was Off
cially stated that part of the United States
mail going into the republic of Mexico
would Immediately, after the opening of
this new railroad, be sent by way of Eagle
Pass, and thus relieve the excessive glut
OF work recently cast on the postoffices
of FL Paso and Paso del Norte
by an unprecedented rush of mail bust
ness The Mexican postal authorities,
however, and the commercial committees
of the republic complain that no relief has
been felt so far, and that nine tenths of the
mail destined for Mexico still comes to FL
Faso. Investigation into the subject shows
that the condition of the glut is owing to
the fact that all the European mail des-
tined for Mexico arrives at New York in
sealed bags marked 'FVIa Paso del Norte, :"
even such mail matter as is destined for
the state of Coahuilla and Nueva Leon
states, which are right close to Eagle Pass
and Pieuras Negras, Where the new rail
road line into Mexico commences These
foreign mail bags arrive in this country
with the imperative dictation to send
! them via Paso del Norte, and no authority
exists IN this country to change this direc-
ton. The old-time postal glut at FL Paso
and Paso del Norte is apt to continue here
after
The remedy lies in having the govern
ments OF Europe at once notified that
new line of communication with Mexico
exists. and that such mail as would be eX-
pediated by making use of the new inter
national railroad into Mexico should be
sent hereafter in separate locked mail bags
and marked via Piedras Negras A uni
versal request from Mexican merchants
and business men in the northern states of
Mexico has been made that some leading
newspaper of the United States should
bring this matter to the notice of the
postal authorities of the United States, as
well as the European countries.

Jacksonville will meet with ready sympathy
from the people of Portland. Jacksonville
is city very nearly as large as Portland.
though not by any means SO fayorably situ-
ated for cleanliness and combat with an
epidemic. At considerable distance from
the ocean and its breezes, it has the added
disadvantage of location on the low bank of
the sluggish st. Johns River. At its best.
with no epidemic, Jacksonville during the
month of September is bad place for fe-
vers. Of all the trying warm months Sep
TENDER is considered the worst. With yell
low fever epidemic the September exhala
tions from the damp and often filthy streets
make horrible work. Two-thirds nearly OF
the inhabitants have fed; while the unfor-
tunate remnant of little over thirteen
thousand are prevented either by poverty or
the shot guns of the rigorous quarantine es-
tablished around Jacksonville and along the
approaches to every town whittier thew
might flee, from leaving the city of death.
All business is suspended, and the streets of
the city are described as almost deserted.

Others, like DIR. Neal Mitchell, President of
the Board of Health, are laboring heroically
on, with almost the absolute certainty Of
death before them should they be stricken

the foreign market as the fountain head of
commercial plenty. 1t is easy to understand
how this mistake is made. In England,
whence emanate free trade ideas, the foreign
market is the great source OF wealth and
plenty. On that short and narrow island
are millions of toilers who can live only as
they manufacture for others. Their island
admits little diversity of soil, climate and
productions; in short it is not favorable to
that Investigation of industry which gives
to the United States commercial independ-
ence and home market capable of taking
care of almost all the productions Of its
laborers. 1t is easy to understand why the
English statesmen lay great stress upon the
preservation of their foreign markets; it
ought to be equally easy to understand why
the best American craftsmanship should
study to preserve the home market.

forded hearty laugh to the spectators,
Delegate Smith, of Arizona was doing the

escorted him to the gallery in order to point
out to him the distinguished men upon the
floor. He talked steadily on, regardless OF
the fact that a member was INDUCING in an
imprisoned burst of oratory; but his friend,
being impressed by the wild gestures of the
speaker, asked who he was. whereupon Mr..
Smith responded in an off-hand way, "Oh,
that is Dick Towpshend, and he makes me
tired. and the next second was paralyzed by
the movement of a lady sitting Just in front
of him, who, slowly turning her head. re-
yealed the disguised features of Mrs Towns
bend.
However. Mr.. Smith is a brave man, and
when he recovered his breath he whispered
to his friend: .'l'm going now, and YOU
must say Goodbye, Kilgore,' in a loud
voice." Soon after he arose, and the amused
friend bawled cheerfully, "Good-bye. XII
gore, see you later" And now Mrs. Town
shend is mystifying all the friends of Mr..
Kilgore by abusing that amiable and inno-
cent man in season and out of season.

The announcement that the Russians are
going to arm the Cossacks with the Maxim
guns recalls the expression of Napoleon
about the nearness of the time when Europe
would be either all Republican or all Co.'S
sack. Ii that event is still coming on, as
many think. it is hardly appropriate that the
Cossacks should be armed with a weapon
invented by State of Maine Yankee.
