Agricultural.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The June report of the department of agriculture shows slight increase in winter wheat areas seeded, but the breadth harvested may be possibly million acres more than in the last crop, largely from Kansas and California. The seeded and har- vested areas in Kansas will this year be nearly identical, and the large breadth in California, which Is cut for wheat in years of low yield, will in part be harvested for grain this season. The question of areas will be tested later as thoroughly as possible by partial local cen aus at various points.
 The condition of winter wheat remains comparatively high, though it has fallen three points in the last month and averages 93 for the country. The following State av erages are given; New York 96, Pennsylva- Texas SS, Kentucky S6, Ohio SS, Michigan 90, Indiana 99, Illinoif 92, Missouri 98, Kan sas 9S, California 98.
 The area of spring wheat has apparently increased about 3 per cent. The prelimina- " estimates show 8 loss of 5 per cent. in Wisconsin and 1 in Minnesota, and 8 gain of 1 in Iowa, in Nebraska and in Dakota. with increase in the mountain region.
 The condition of spring wheat is high e1- cept in parts of Dakota, where it has suf- fered from drought. Averages are as fol- lows: Wisconsin 96, Minnesota 93, Dakota SS, Nebraska 96, Iowa 99.
 Condition is generally high in the noun tain districts, the average Is nearly 95 for the entire spring wheat breadth. An increase of to per cent. in the area of oats is re- ported, while condition seven points be- low the normal standard of full crop. The area of barley is about the same as last year, and it's average of condition 95. Rye has made no percepttble advance in area and it's general average condition is 50.

NEWS FRom PORT AB PRINCE.

The War Likely to End i'm . Few
 Days, with the Army of the North
 Victorious.
 NEW YORK, June 10.-A letter from Port au Prince dated May 30, gives the following:
 ''Is is stated on goed authority that the army of Hippolyte is within two miles of Port au Prince and there is no doubt that in a few days the war will be ended, with the army of the North the victors. Legitime's men, owing to the lack of food and money, are deserting, and at Grand Saline one of his generals commanding five thousand men has surrendered all his forces to Hippolyte. The general himself fled to Jamaica, as his life would have been in danger in Port au Prince. He put himself under the protection of the British cousul before going to Jamaica. Lesitime would have followed his example had his generals and ministers permitted him. They say he has brought them to.their present state and he must remain and share their fate. It is impossible to say when Hippolyte's army will fall on the town and massacre everyone in 1t. Legitime has hard- ly any men to guard the place, and it will be an easy matter to capture it. Most of the ships in Legitime's navy are lying in the in- ner harber being afraid that if they venture out they will be captured by Hippolyte's ships" zs-

DELIGHTED CROwns

l Visited the Great Barn9m Shew-a ] World of Novelties-A Moor Charge, ! the Students.
 l The circus has come and gone. The great 1 Barnum has held his biennial receptions and all the city aud the greater portion of the population of the neighboring towns attends ed them. No one of the happy attendants at these receptions were disappointed. One and all they pronounced the great Bsrnum and Bailey show greater than ever. The mass of novelties was bewildering; the man. moth canvas the most extensive ever spread in shis city. The great Barnum himself favored New Haven with special visit in the afternoon and spoke few words to an audience of 12, ,0CO people. He was enthusi- astically received when he stepped upon the platform. An audience rivalling that ot. the afternoon agained filled the vast tent in the evening.
 The show arrived in town Sunday and had it's mass of canvas spread before the dwellers in the city arose. The rural districts here abouts were depopulated yesterday, and their inhabitants combined with the crowd of city people filled the streets in the center of the city to overfowing. When the monster free street pageant, with it's glittering splendor, pursued it's way through the principal streets it was greeted by She enormous crowd that always welcomes the great Barnum's show The procession was the same gorgeous affair There was the usual number of chariot wagons, resplendent in gilt and yarnish there were numerous musical engines, hun. dreds Of proud stepping horses, horde of very fierce looking Bedouius on horseback, some Arabs and Turks mounted on camels. herd of elephants of assorted sizes, half a dozen or more lady chariot drivers, the usual compliment of brass ban1,, many wagons full of wild beasts and hundred other features, new and old, that always go to make up big circus parade.
 At the campus the parade was given the customary reception by the students. But one of the fiery Moors took such vigorous exception to the treatment by Yale's under graduates, and charged upon them so ferce- ly and in such 8 warlike manner, that the boys were considerably subdued. The big show itself presented so many at- traotive features that the eye could not bs- gin to take them all in. Two rings and an elevated stage were constantly ill use, and the features performed were in the main new and wonderful. A little Japanese fel- low, Sugomato, accomplished some wonder ful balancing feats. The troop of wild Moors and Algerians gave an interesting ex- hibltion of their native customs. The races were close and exciting, and the whole show presented wilderness of novelties too num- erous to mention, and too intricate and be- whdering to describe. Suffice it to say that Barnum fairly outdid himself and delighted thousands. The illusions in the black tent that proved so fruitful source of wonder to all were among the leading novelties.

suranee agent. Nobody had given him thought until this afternoon when his body was carried to the Presbyterian church morgue.
 The day is past when the discovered dead can be kept any longer for identification.
 Scenes at the morgues bear quick testi- mony of this. The keepers say that as soon as the air strikes the corpses now it becomes almost impossible to handle them. There are over fifty faces on the slabs at the morgues tonight and record shows that up to noon yesterday which was just 8 week from the time morgues were estab lished l, ,492 people were buried from them who were discovered right in this vicinity. This has nothing to do with the valley or the dead of Ninevah st New Florence and elsewhere. A great many were also buried who were not taken to these morgues.

Heavy Travel over she Roads That
 Were Blocked by the Flood.
 PHnADELPHIA, June 10.-At the Pennsyl- vania railroad office it was stated tonight that the heavy movement of freight begun yesterday was kept up to-day. Passenger travel to and from the West is also get ting very heavy. On the middle division between Harrisburg and Altoona work is being pushed forward es rapidly as is con- sistent with thorough safety. Granvill bridge has been crossed and large forces of men are working at each end of Nays and Manayunk bridges. These bridges finished, the line will be clear to Altoona, as the washouts will all be filled and the track carried away will be replaced by the time the bridges are completed. Wednesday night is the time now set for the restora- tion of the middle division. General Man. ager Pugh after inspecting the Montgomery bridge and the work in that vicinity, went to Conemaugh today. He will probably stay at Altoona for the balance of the week going east and west of that place as occasion may require. The Pittsburgh division west of Altoona will probably be finished up suffci- entlY to allow of the running of trains by to- morrow night.

BOARD OF COUNCILMRN.

A Spirited Attack Upoa the Lamp CommIttee-The West River Park Other Matters Discussed. An excitement wholly unexpected stirred the equanimity of the councilnen last even- ing. It was vigorous attack upon the power and authority of the lamp committee. Councilman MeNamars thought that their methods were altogether too arbitrary. He was ably supported in his crusade by Coun. cilman Martin, who also considered that the committee should not govern the Common Council. After spirited discussion, it was decided to ask the Corporation counsel to give his opinion of the duties of the lamp committee under the charter. The board concurred with the alderman in
 the matter of park in the western part of
 the city. A letter from Corporation Counsel
 Townsend concerning the matter was read,
 stating as follows:
 To the Honorable Board of Councilmen:
 the board of aldermen in passing said orders
 would not finally commit the city to the layout and establishment of such park as is described by the
 city engineer and shown on Map 570 in his office. CORPORATION CeuFoIL- When the petition for park at Franklin and State streets came before the board, g mOI1Ou was made GO re commit the comm L. tees fayoring the petition report, with the remonstrance against it.
 Councilman Wardell said, in making the ! motion, that the general feeling in that par of the city was not against the park, but ! against the layout ss made by the board o public works. Some of the signers of tn, l remonstrance had signed the original peti tion for the park.
 Councilman Bromley opposed reoommitting the paper, and Councilman Moran said that l if the layout would take in private property, as several stated it would, it ought to be further considered.
 A warm discussion ensued, and vote was finally taken which resulted in 8 recomMit- tai of the papers according to the first mo- tion.
 The disagreement with the aldermen about
 the hardening and top dressing of Day street
 was not patched up. According to the charter
 @ committee of three was appointed to confer
 with committee of the aldermen.

ST. PAUL, Minn., June 1O.-The Senate committee on relations with Canada, con- sisting of Senators Allison, Dolph, Hale and Hoar, met with the representatives of this city to-day. They especially asked for testimony as to the transportation of mer- candise Unrestricted reciprocity for the
 profit both of the "twin cities" and north western Canada was favored by numbers. J. M. Egan explained the Manitoba railroad system, which extends from this city through out the north western United States and Canads, stating that it's business consisted
 largely in carrying from the United States to Canada these manufactured articles which must be had. Captain W. K. Brown, 8 lumber merchant, said he represented sev- ersl lumber companies, producing about for ty million feet year. He was not in favor of free lumber. General Drake said that Canada could not make arrangements with us consistent with the interests of England, for the tariff of this continent must then be thessame against England. This country could not make laws for Canada against Eng land. He favored political rather than agri- cultural union. The general tendency of the testimony was in favor of reciprocity, and the members of the committee say that this has been the case wherever they have gone. They will have @ hearing in Minneapolis to- fnorrow
