RUSSELL HARRISON.
Col. Crosby Demands a Personal
Apology as Well as a RetratiOn.

=
New York, April 6.-Russell Harrison
makes the following statement relative to
the suit for libel which Colonel John
Schuyler Crosby threatens to bring
against him, in case Harrison refuses to
make personal apology for clipping the
reprinted paragraph from the Buffalo
paper, in the Montana Lire Stock Journal,
published by company of which Harri-
son was at the time President and which
article had been construed to have
charged Colonel Crosby with the theft
of jewels from a Washington lady. 81
am willing that the Montana Live Stock
Journal shall make proper retraction of
the story as published. The impression
has been given to the public that l am
the editor of the LiUe Stock Journal. This
is not the case now, nor was it at the time
the ory was printed. 1t seems to me
that Colonel Crosby's demand for a per-
sohal apology is unusual and unreason-
able, and that he should be satisfied with
the same sort of retraction on the part of
the Montana Live Stock Journal as SEEM
ed to him sufficient from the Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser which first printed
the story and from which journal we
copied it. The position / have taken
against identifying myself personally
with this matter will be maintained to
the end of the controversy"

An Outburst by Bouianaer.

PARIS, April 6.-The Revisionist Com
mittee gave grand banquet this even
ing at which a thousand guests were
present. General Boulapger was to have
presided. In his absence, Senator
Naquet read the speech which had been
prepared by Boulanger for the occasion.
In it the General promised that, on at
tanning power, he would proclaim gen.
eral amnesty and would abrogate the
exile laws, which, he said. strong gov
ernment did not need. He denounced
what he termed the miserable motives
that had actuated the Government with
respect to the resembling of the decree of
exile against the Due d'Aumale. This
action OF the Government would have
met with his approval if it had been die
tated by generous sentiments. Regard
ing Alsace-Lorraine he said it appeared
to be criminal offense to discuss ques-
tions relating to that province.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
An Official Review by the Signal
Service Burenu.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The weather
and crop bulletin, issued by the S goal
Service for the week ending April 9th,
says the weather during the week was
generally favorable to growing crops in
the Southern States. In the winter
wheat region, extending from Ohio to
Kansas and Nebraska, the rains during
the week affected growing crops favor
ably. The season is we'll advanced, and
crops are in good condition, but there is
a general deficiency in moisture through
out the South, the winter wheat and
spring wheat regions, ON the central val
leys and Northwest. In Minnesota and
Dakota. the weather was generally un-
favorable, and high winds, with destruct-
i've prairie fires, interrupted farm work,
which, however, is well advanced. In
New England the ground is generally
covered with snow, and but little farm
work has been completed.

The Peanut Man.

Ferdinand Giovanni, the Italian pea
nut man who was tried Friday in Justice
Savage's court, was discharged yesterday
on one complaint, and re-arr ested on an
other. Several days ago, as he was driv-
ing his wagon along San Fernand street,
a number of bad boys ran out and threw
stones at him. He drew revolver and
fred at one of them. The first complaint
charged him with making an assault with
deadly weapon. For this was substi-
tuted one which charged him with hav-
ing exhibited deadly weapon. Vixen
this charge was read. Giovanni pleaded
guilty, and was fined fifty dollars.

WASHINGTON, April GA heavy snow,

Rancho Las ytrxines.

half-breed who accompanied Lord Ions

A Bargain Repudiated.

WINNIPEG, April GA big law suit is
likely to arise between the Hudson Bay
and the Northern Pacific and the Mani
toba Railroads. Bridges, the late Land
Commissioner of the former company,
sold to the latter companies twenty acres
of land along the river front, almost in
the heart of the city for the nominal sum
of $4,000. The former company now
repudiates the sale on the ground that
Bridges was not authorized to make the
deal. The purchasers have already built
quite extensively on the tract.

A Check ON Barmaid dishonesty.

LONDON, March 21.-A young BROOKLYN
mechanic, Francis E. Mcmahon, who
has been over here few months, has
hit upon an idea, which promises him a
plethoric purse. Every week the London
police court reports tell of the shame of
barmaids punished for pilfering from en-
ployers, and hundreds of cases never
reach the courts at all. The girls are
poorly paid, meagrely clipped" and
easily fall into temptation. They draw
their liquor direct from ''taps" into
small metal measures. Your British tip
pier would faint if bottle was pushed
across the bar for him to help himself.
No amount of waiter-watching can
prevent smart girl from pilfering if she
is disposed to do 80. Now Mcmahon
steps in with mechanics. He has in
vented an electric stop to the taps which
registers every pennyworth of liquor sold
on a dial in the managers office. 1t is
simple apparatus, 80 simple that when
Leopold Rothschild saw it he at once
lent Mcmahon financial aid and won
dered why somebody hadn't thought of
it before. McMahon is not going to sell
his registers, but rent them out for Ell
per year each tap. Spiers G. Pond, the
largest catering firm in the world, have
promised to use them, and their patron
age alone means snug income.

Senator Hearst was here last winter, he
became SO pleasantly impressed with
Santa Monica and its upland, that he de-
clared he would have "farm" there If
he could get one. In pursuance of this
desire, he has perhaps made purchase
Of land from Senator Jones, and interested
himself with him in new hotel project.
If this rumor is true, and Jones and
Hearst should cooperate together in a
hotel enterprise for Santa Monica, we
may rest assured that it will be a fine
one. They are both broad gauge men,
and do nothing in small. They might
not make hotel as spacious as The Cor
onado,-for that is not needed,-but it
would be one that would be great ad-
vantage and an attraction to this section.

TEE DESPERATE BOOMERS.

WINFIELD, KS, Api GA reliable
man, come from Oklahoma, claims to
have learned that the boomers, hundreds
of whom are hid in the thickets and
brush on the many streams in that coun-
try, have combined on plan to burn the
bridges on the Santa Fe road on the
night OF April 2lst, or sooner, SO that no
trains can get into Oklahoma on the 22d.
He says the boomers swear they are CO.

out, whatever the cost. People bound
for Oklahoma are arriving here daily
from all over the Union, and the excite
ment is high. Thirty-fve wagons from
Mead and Comanche counties arrived to-
day and camped just west of the town, to
await the proper time to move on Okla
