CONSOLIDATION.

To-day the hearing concerning the consoli- dation of the town and city governments of New Haven begins at Hartford. An effort will be made to show that there is general demand for such union. There is not. and there has not been. In fact, there is very little interest felt in the matter by the inhsb- itants of the city. The bill has been mended so as to do away with as many of the objec- tions as possible, and as it now stands it pro- vides for a queer kind of consolidation. Some of the Democratic politicians object to it on partisan grounds, but they would of course object to any such bill. The weighty objection comes from some of the most prominent men in the city who believe in town government, and from residents in the districts which it is proposed to annex, who do not believe in being forced to ''join." The bill craftily provides for the submission of the matter to the people, but those most in- terested don't want it so submitted and most of the others don't care. The legislature will practically be asked to force into the city thousands of people who don't want to come. We do not think it will or ought to grant the request of the few who are urging this. The fairer way is to wait until there is more agreement concerning the matter both in the city and outside.

THE BRITISH FA RMER.


 The British farmer has had hard time for printed by the agricultural department of privy council show that last year was not an improvement. The figures set the wheat crop in England at 6s, 159, ,00O bushels or nearly per cent. less than in 1887. The es- timated average rate of yield in 1888 was twenty eight bushels per acre, against thirty two in 1887. The acreage of wheat in 1888 in England was larger as compared with 1887 by moro than 10 per cent, but in spite of this increased area under cultivation the crop as 8 whole diminished. In Wales the falling of was much the same, and in Scot- land the average yield per acre fell of thirty six bushels in 1887 and thirty-one bushels in 1888. But this was not the only difficulty the English farmers had to contend with for, beside deficiency in production the quality of the wheat was even more unsatisfactory than it's quantity, result due to the absence of sunshine and the excessive rainfall during summer.
 The barley crop made better showing, increasing from e5, ,Ooo, 900 bushels in 1887 to 6s, ,0OO, 900 bushels in 1888. But the grain was of an inferior quality, much discolored and coarse, large quantity of the crop being unsuitable for malting purposes. The oat crop was about as large in Great Britain in 1888 as in 1887, the aggregate of each year footing up to 1O7 1000, 900 bushels, this on somewhat diminished acreage. But although the quality of the oats is relatively better than the quality of the wheat and barley, it is by no means equal to that of the year 1887. The hay crop of Great Britain in 1888 is es- timatsd at total of 6, TOO, 900 tons. a great gain over 1887, when the total product was 4, 700, ,0o0 tons. But the quality of the hay of the last season was decidedly unsatisfac- tory.
 At this rate the English farmer will have reason to be discouraged. It has been long time since he had any good luck.

for of $125 per month. When the lease ex- pired Lee Wing, rival merchant, stepped in and secured lease for the place before the unsuspectiDg Celestial who occupied the once raised the rent on Lee Chuck to $250 per month This reused the ire office Chuck and he vowed vengeance on his rival. As a first move in that direction he pur- chased the corner block of building for $62,- 900. But Lee Wing still had him on the hip, his lease held good until Dec. 1, and he refused to depart. Then it WAS that Lee Chuck took resort to the law, bringing suit for possession and $400 back rent, and the two duputy sheriffs stepped in. After oust- ing deadload of Mongols who infested the premises, they gave possession to Lee Chuck
 The next move was made by Lee Wing, who sought lawyer, and, going into court, gained stay of proceedings, and there the matter from legal aspect rests.
 The two deputies are in the possession of the premises and are the custodians of the personal property of Lee Wing, amounting to s1O, ,OO0, while Lee Chuck holds the prem ises by virtue of ownership. Lee Chuck, who is worth $1 100000, is now in China, and the cable has been smoking with the cablegrams of instructions to his nephew aud representative, Lee Poy, to hold the fort and ''do up" Lee Wing.
 According to the statement of the two of fcers Lee Wing has offered 5000 to the highbinders if they will kill Lee Poy, and both of the Mongols have hired bands of highbinders, who are constantly dodging around the corner of Clay and Dupont streets waiting for an opportunity to invade the premises and make it pleasant for the deputies.
 Early yesterday morning about twenty highbinders made dash against the doors, thinking to surprise the officers who were lying on the counters, bur Shea and Quinn were up in an instant and drew bead on the ringleaders, who at once beat nasty re- treat, with several balls whistling around their heads A number of times yesterday the Mongol bandits gathered around the door, but the sight of the arsenal within seemed to restsain them from making an ag- gressive move.
 'sThey are only waiting for chance to lay us out," said Deputy Shea; but we are ready for them, and will give them all the lead they can carry"
 A cablegram was received yesterday by Lee Poy from Lee Chuck in the kFlowery Kingdom, in which he was instructed to floor of the establishment had to be paved with twenty-dollar gold pieces. The build ing is three story structure, the front part being used as a general store, while the rear has been used as lottery office.
 Lee Chuck made quarter of million by renting out coelie labor to the Pacific roads, while Lee Wing is the owner of dozen stores. He is said to be real estate sharp also, his tactics being to rent profitable raise the rent on them. The officers say that they have kinformation that the high binders will make concerted move to capt. ure the place some time this morning, and the two are making their preparations &C., cordingly.

sTina Campbell on the Bench.

Among the New York delegation to the paper man, good story-teller, and he told two yarns about Hon. Tim. Campbell that have never been printed.
 Hon. Tim was, at one time, civil justice in New York, and his behavior on the bench was, at all times, great. One day a lawyer wss arguing case before him, when a friend of Hon. Tim entered the court room. The justice, wishing to talk to him, called him up to the bench and began to The lawyer, anxious that his argument should be heard, stopped in his speech. Tim looked up. "Go on" said he. The lawyer began again, and Tim leaned over to his friend and kept on talking in a low tone. The lawyer ceased again. Again Tim looked up and blurted out ':Why don't you go ons' Again the lawyer resumed his argu- ment. He kept on talking for @ moment or 50, and the justice also went on with his whispering. The poor attorney stopped once more. "Why don't you go ona" called out the justice. ''Well, your honor," said The decision of the supreme court handed | down says that so and so and so." Tim looked up, thoroughly provoked at the in l terruption, and broke out "That's all right, l but I'll bet you ten dollars you lose youz | case" The unfortunate lawyer didn't GOV l CT the bet
 1 Another time, when Tim was civil justice. l shyater had case before him, and the | lawyer didn't know much about his clients nor their case. This shyster, Lang by name was anxious for postponemens, but he didn't know how to work it. Some one en. tered the room, and whispering to him, sai6 sLarry, Chief Justice, of the supreme court, is dead' ''Is that sos' says Larry

 mant, who was then near him. Learning
 that it was, His Hon. was deeply affected
 His emotion nearly overcame him. Rising. he stood with bowed head, and several teari
 trickled down his cheeks Mastering hii emotion, and with bowed head, he said: q have heard with feelings of the deepest emo'

THIRsTING FOR BLOOD.
TWO Wealthy Chinese Merchants Rat- tIiR2 for a Store iR San Francisco.

rEyyO Wealthy Chinese Merchants Bat
 tIiRg for a Store ia San Francisco.
 From the San Francisco Examiner
 Two Deputy Sherifs, An Quinn and Yee Shea, have been cooped up in the Chinese general merchandise store at SO9 Dupont street since last Friday, and are visited peri- odically by two rival bands of highbinders, who aching to bathe in their gore, while all Chinatown is waiting with bated breath for the outcome of legal battle concerning the aforesaid premises, between Lee Wing and Lee Chuck, two of the wealthiest merchants iii the Chinese colony.
 The officers in possession are there by vir- tue of a writ of attachment issued at the instance of Lee Chuck, and the interior of the store looks like a small arsenal, and ad- vised go, for the reason that the guardians are in momentary expectation of murder ous assault from a gang of highblnders m the employ of Lee Wing. On a table are spread out three 45-calibre revolvers, two maces, two hatchets, an axe and oasenaii bat, and the twain of watchful guardians have been getting their meals, over the tran- som. Back of it all there lies story of glgan- | tic struggle between two great Mongol mer- chants, in which all the elements of hate, l jealousy and revenge figure prominently.
 Some years ago Lee Chuck occupied the | premises in question, at the corner of Clay and Dupont streets, and paid rental there

miles in length, and is expected to be cona- pleted in about three years. AS with most Russian works, the main object in this case is military, namely, to enable war steamers to pass from the sea Of Azof to the forts and dockyards of Odessa, without circumnavigat- ing the Crimea or passing through the dan gsrous straits of Kertch. The canal has also commercial importance, as the bulk of the trade from the Don river and a great deal of that from Upper volga goes to Odessa, so that the new canal will very much. shorten the voyage for all vessels engaged in that business. As the canal presents no special engineering difficulties the cost will by no means be excessive.
 The Jekyl Island club of Georgia is said to be meeting with great success in propagating the English pheasant. A few months ago the club received seventy eight birds out of one hundred which were sent to it from En- gland, twenty-two having died on the jour- ney. From these seventy-eight birds one thousand chicks were matched out last fall by common barnyard hens. In addition to these most of which throve, an additional one hundred hen pheasants Lave been order ed from England; and when they arrive prep arations will be made to hatch five thousand birds. With six thousand or seven thousand birds as nucleus, it is expected that there will be no longer any necessity of stimulating their increase, as their annual matching in 8 wild state will furnish an ample supply for the sportsman. Jeky1 island is eleven miles long.and from one to two miles wide. Being we'll wooded it affords 8 good cover for the birds, and as the pheasant never leaves it's original home the members of the club will soon have all the sport they want on their own domain.
