A War of Rates.

CHICAGO, April 10.-The Union Pacific
has taken such action as General Pas
senger Agent Fee, of the Northern Pacific,
says will break up the transcontinental as
sociation and probably demoralize the Pa
citic coast rates.
Some time ago the Union Pacific re
quested the lines in the central traffic
association to ticket Puget Sound bust
ness over their line and the Pa
cific division of the Northern Pacific.
The latter road had not been consulted in
the transaction, and Immediately entered a
protest, saying it was a violation of the
agreement, and that tickets via this route
win not be honored on trains north Of Port
land. Chairman Leeds, Of the Transconti-
mental association, also declares the
Union Pacific action to be a violation Of the
association agreement. The Union Pacific
refuses to withdraw the notice, and war

ton Society-They Offend Many Negroes.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 10-A confer
ence of white Republicans, called together
for the purpose of organizing the Republi-
can party in Alabama on q protective tariff
basis and relieving it from being called the
negro party, met this afternoon.
L. E. Parsons, Jr., called the convention
to order and stated the purpose was to or
ganize a protective league throughout the
state. No negroes would be admitted and
no whites not in sympathy with the move
ment. 1t is intended to drive anybody,
white or black, from the party, and if the
negroes wanted TO get together and Orga-
nize their own league, there was no objec-
ton.
The committee on resolutions reported
a series of resolutions in accordance with
the above statements, and also a constitu-
ton for the Republican league of Ala
bama. Both were adopted.
Several gentlemen who were opposed to
driving the negroes out, left the convention
after protesting. A rival conference was
held by the negroes under the following Of
Doctor Moseley, chairman of the regular
Republican state committee of Alabama.
The negroes and whites of this conference
met at Nebaratelit this morning. Many
speeches were made protesting against
the efforts of certain white Republicans to
exclude negroes from the party: and reso-
buttons were adopted endorsing the protest
and declaring that the negro constitutes
the backbone of the party in Alabama.
A committee was appointed to convey the
resolutions to President Harrison The

II Mau End Peaceahly.

DUBURUE, Iowa, April 1O.-U. s. District
Judge Shiras issued to Marshal Desmond
to-day document reviewing the situation
of the river land trouble. He says the
Marshal's proposition to arm posse and
forcibly evict the settlers in spite any re-
sistance is eminently proper, and thai re
sistance to fe 1eral authority is a spirit of
rebellion which calls for supprC Jon, but in
view of the facts the secretary of the in
terror mas officially requested the attorney
general to examine into the matter for the
purpose Of finding out whether it may not
be eXpedient to bring proceedings in the
name of the United States. He deems it ad-
visable to await the report and requests the
marshal to suspend the execution OF pro
cesses until further ordered. This puts an
end to all proceedings for the present.

THE CONDITION OF THE CROPS
Good Prospects Everywhere All Kinds of
Domestic Animals Wintered Well.


WASHINGTON, April u1O.-Crop reporting
in the service of the department of agricul-
ture for April, relates to the condition of
winter grain and Of farm animals as they
90 out of winter quarters.
The sowing of wheat was somewhat delayed
in the middle states by the early autumn rains,
and west of Ohio by the dry weather in Septem-
Der and October. Later conditions were favor
able in both sections, with mild and drler
weather in the east and fair supply OF mOlS-
tIre in the west In the south the condition OF the
soil for seeding was generally favorable. In
California, the autumn rains were followed by
a dry season in the winter but refreshing
showers IN March caused the termination OF
the late soWn grain and vigorous growth in the
early seeded area. There was little winter pro
testion, except for short time IN mid win
ter IN the latitude of heavy winter SHOWS Con
sequcntly, the more northern DreadthS are
somewhat brown in color, and patches in wet
soils are winter killed. Yet the temperature
has been so mild, with so few sudden extremes,
that the present condition is very good. Plants
are generally well rooted and have been grow
ing over a large part of the area through the
winter The general average condition is 81
nearly the same as the April condition of 1886
which fell at harvest TO 1873 That of 1882 and
that the previous year, 81. The April condition
of the large crop of "a was 954 going up to IS at
harvest.
The present condition by principal states is:
New York. "a: Pennsylvania, 90; Texas, 81;
Ohio, IS; Illinois, 81; Missouri, %; Kansas, 20;
California, 9S.
The condition in the southern states ranges
from 90 to 81. The rye crop is also in good con
dition: general average, 93.9.
The mild weather has been favorable to farm
animals, which are generally in high condition
The general average for horses is 9S4 for cattle,
9G.9; sheep, g7.4; swine, $50 1t is estimated
that the losses from disease and all other causes
during the past year have also been much less
than usual.

in Kaysville Saturday evening. Mr.. James
A. Cottren, who has long been connected
with the Kaysville choir, brass band and

bered by him, and never without a feeling
of ioy that he had won the respect and good
will of his immediate associates.

leader, who is a sufficient guarantee for the
success of the occasion, all the necessary
arrangements were made.

Young people who he had labored and
associated with, about fifty in number, and

semble at the Music hail. which had been
provided for the occasion.

which had been arranged in semi-clrcle
near the stage, their victim (Mr CottrelD
accompanied by Mr.. Joseph Barton, Mrs
S. TAYLOR and Miss Ella Lewis, arrived.
He was much surprised, having previously
been told by Mr.. Barton that he was going
to surprise a gentleman friend living in the
eastern part of town. and under this i'm
u ,ession he allowed himself to be led like a
la NIB to the slaugf ter.
after time had been allowed for him to
get over his SURF rise and take in the situa-
ton. Mr. Barton made very appropriate
speech. after which singing and dancing
