MAYOR HEWITT AND THE IRISH.

He DIsnpproves the Resolution Taking
from Him Certain Important Powers.
New YoRx, April 10.-Mayor Hewitt
to-day transmittedt to the Common Coun-
ell stirring message disappearing the
resolution taking from the Mayor the
power of directing that flags shall be
displayed upon city buildings. In it he
shows that while the Irish born popula-
ton amounts to 1916 per cent, % per
cent of the Board OF Aldermen are Irish,
more than one and half times the nor
nal ratio Of the representation, and that
the same ratio Of representation prevails
in all the departments except thepolice,
where 2S.l0 are Irish born, nearly double
the percentage. This, he declares, is at
the expense OF the German element.
He gives tabulated account OF national
representations in office and in charita'
BILE institutions. He states that he does
not publish the tables to invoke COM
lent, but declares that under our free
government and boundless resources the
Irish malcontents should dexhibit mod.
est restraint in claiming new privileges
not now known to the law and not de.
sired by the more conservative portion
OF nationality, in whose favor exception
is demanded. He advises the Board OF
Aldermen to adopt some measures
whereby the vexed question may bo
made sQuarely an issue before the
people.

The Senate resumed consideration oi
the bill to authorize the sale to aliens OF
certain mineral lands, the question be-
ing on the amendment offered by Mr..
Faulkner, requiring a majority of stock
holders, trustees or directors OF n mining
company to be citizens of the United
States. The amendment was rejected
by vote OF yeas 20, nays 81. After
further discussion the bill was passed by
vote Of yeas 81, nays l3.
The Senate resumed the consideration
OF the unfinished business" being the
bill to provide for the admission OF the
State ofSouth Dakota and the organiza-
ton of the territory Of North Dakota.
Mr.. Butler hoped that the present
Territory OF Dakota would not be dis
membered. The question of the admis-
sion ef Territories was entirely within
the discretion OF Congress. Ifany other
doctrine should prevail why should not
the Territory OF Utah be admitted as a
State, or what was to prevent 100000
Socialists, Anarchists, Nihilists and Com.
munists taking refuge in some corner OF
n Territory and proceeding to frame q
Constitution and State government and
demanding to be admitted MS u State?
He therefore submitted that the Senator
(Platt) had gone too far yesterday in
making such a proposition, and espcci-
ally when the claim for admission was
not asserted on behalf OF majority OF
the people OF the Territory OF Dakota,
hut an kehalf of a faction OF politicians
in that Territory who had contributed
more than all besides to prevent the
Territory being admitted us State.
Without any action on the bill, the
Senate proceeded to executive business
and when the doors were re-opened ad-

report that the Knights OF Labor and

general strike on the Burlington road?"
"That is something that know moth

contemplating any such action they
have not informed me OF it. AS far as
patching up peace is concerned I will
simply say that there has never been

Not Discouraglng.
WASHINGTON, April lO.-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 ms winter set in was
uneven, though the plants were rooted.
In the States affected by summer
drought there was slow termination in
soils not well pulverized, causing thin
stands in such areas. Hence super
fetal impression OF the condition was
made, which our trained correspondent
saw at once was deceptive, and that the
impairment of States was slight. Later,
ruins improved the prospect. In the
South the soil was in good tilth and flll
growth generally good. In the Middle
States the seeding season was moderate
" favorable, though in some places the
soil was dry. Only partial winter pro-
lection was enjoyed in the northern
The variable temperature OF March Sc.
riously 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 yery slight South Of Maryland the
temperature was mild and favorable.
The present appearance of the crop IS
quite unfavorable. AS hespringis late,
and present growth of late sown COM
paratively small, favorable spring wealth
er might make material improvement,
The average Of the present condition is
SO, lower than in recent years, excepting
only 1888 and 1885, when the averages
were so and 70 respectively. The aver
ages of the States OF principal produc'
tion arc rs follows: New York, "a;
Pennsylvania, 90; Ohio, OS; Michigan,
70; Indiana, Is; Illinois, "a; Missouri,
50; Kansas, 81. The average OF Texas
is IS, and most Of the Southern States
higher-from 81 in Arkansas to % in
Tennessee, though the area seeded is
small in all this region.
