ST. PAUL, May 8.-fhe storm which has
been gathering force since last Saturday,
reached its elimination yesterday in a
gale blowing with velocity varying
from twenty to thirty eight miles an
hour. A similar gale was reported from
all over Dakota, Minnesota and Manito-
ba, and, in some cases, considerable dam
age, it is feared has been done. At the
Manitoba office, kilograms have been re-
ceived from twenty-three stations on the
line, which bear testimony that the &C.
tual damage done by the storm was very
light and has been overestimated. Where
ever wheat has bean sown with drills no
damage has been done. In few in
stances where the land has been summer
fallowed, or was of an exceptionally light
nature, the crop had been injured, but
these rare cases can be repaired by re
seeding. With the wind came the de-
sired rain, which, in many cases, lasted
for hours and penetrated the ground fol
several inches. The benefit is CREATE
than the damage could possibly be. The
reviviug rains continued to-day. Every
one rejoices.

wIndom,s Railroad Reception.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-Secrstary Win
dom to-day gave hearing to persons in
terested in the question of the dutisble
character of Canadian-built cars, used
in the Transportation of merchandise
between Canadian and United States
points. A number of gentle
men. representing American roads,
who we're present, spoke in opposition to
the proposed imposition of duty on the
cars in question. They represented that
these cars had been admitted free of duty
for the past twenty years, and any
change in the practice would result in
great damage to domestic interests, and
the loss by the exaction of duty on these
cars would amount to many thousands
of dollars.

New York, May Sin the investiga-
ton before the Ser ate Committee on the
Inter- State Commerce act to-day, Presl-
dent Hill, of the st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Manitoba Railroad, was the first
witness called after the recess. He gave
an account of the probable route of the
future between Asia and Europe. The
Canadian Pacific road, he said, had a
fast line of steamers running from the
western terminus to Asia, and from the
eastern terminus to Liverpool.
"Is there much Asiatic trade coming
over the Canadian Pacific road?" asked
Chairman Cullom.
Considerable. Some comes over our
road destined for Omaha."
"Why does it take such roundabout
course 2"
"Probably because five or six cents a
hundred pounds is an inducemeDt. We
have differential rate, and time is an
object. 1t pays to take advantage of the
lower rate"
Erastus Wiman spoke strongly in favor
of commercial reciprocity. Any attempt
to shut out Canadian lines from operat-
ing in this country would be a serious
blow to the western American farmers,
and would be badly received by the Ca
madam people.
SIS it policy for the American people,"
asked Senator Blair, "to help, with their
resources, to build up great nation with
hostile, or, at least, alien connection, on
the north of the United States?"
"The tie which binds Canada to Eng
land is but sentiment New York to-
day, in a certain sense, is far more i'm.
portant, than all of Canada. Canada
cannot stay as che is. She must either
become an independent Republic or join
with the United States. There are many
forces at work in Canada. The hopes of
a great party there rest entirely upon one
old man. After the death of Sir John
Mcdonald, will come the deluge."
Wiman spoke at considerable length on
the various Jesuit, Catholic and Orange
in Canada, but said the
farmers, fishermen, lumbermen and
miners all fave red commercial union,
which of itself was step towards an
nexation.

Misdirectea Funds.

WASHINGTON, May S.-W. o. Atwater,
in charge of the wood at the Experiment
stations established by the Agricultural
Department, is preparing a bulletin,
which will be published this year, giving
sketch OF progress OF educa-
ton in the agricultural colleges
and schools. 1t is acknowledged that
the purpose for which the Agricultural
Colleges were established in several
States, and to which the Government con-
tribuied liberal grants of land and money,
has not been realized. The colleges
do not educate men for the farms, but
for professions, and the tendency OF their
teachings is to draw young men from
farms, instead of fitting them for work
on them. Graduates of the common
district schools Of the State are qualified
to enter, and they are taught the
practical things of farm life in addition
to literary branches of learning. The
school had been opened but few weeks
when it's accommodations were all
taken, while the agricultural college
proper has been struggling along
for years with barely enough students to
form a single class. Rusk is also deeply
interested in the establishment of short
winter courses of lectures to young men
on farms upon topics related to the sue
cessful conduct of their labors.

New YORK, May S.-Arrived: steam

The last named is of the Inman line and

previous record was by the Etruria, six
days, one hour, fifty-four minutes. 1t is
the first voyage across the Atlantic made
in less than six days. There were many
men in maritime circles, who prophe-
sled that the trip would never be made
in less than that time. On the first day

Anything but Encouraging.


Anything but Encouraging.
BosToN, May S.-The annual report of
the Directors of the Topeka and Santa
Fe Railway for the year 1888, were given
out this evening. The gross earnings
were $15,612, 913, q decrease of 2,44S,-
453. Operating expenses, including
taxes. l,027, Isl, an increase Of
$61S, 7O7. Net earnings, deducting taxes,
$4,5S5. 95l, a decrease of So 467, l60 on
the gross earnings. The loss on
passenger business is $S01 900, and on
freight traffic $54 80. The deficiency, for
the twelve mouths, to December 31st,
was $5l7 1886. The surplus on December
31st was 1888, 500. Net surplus, &c.
435, 551. The report says that even with
the additional tariff derived by the Atch-
ison system from the extensions, the
actual number of passengers and
tons of freight transported are con-
siderably less than during the preceding
year, and 1t is obvious that except for
the business coming to it from it's new
lines, the earnings must have shown a
grea er decrease still. The reduction of
business is due to various causes.
First, unusually light crops fortwo years,
and consequent depression OF bust.
ness. A community chiefly agricultural
such as that served by the system does
not accumulate wealth rapidly, and the
loss of single years crop is seriously
felt, while the loss of crops for two sue
ceseive years becomes almost disastrous.
Naturally the railroads in such regions
feel the misfortune of poor crops.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, May S.-A dispatch from
New York says that the Irish Nationalist
there appear convinced that DR.. Cronin
was assassinated in Chicago.
In a general way, without giving the
source of information, it is stated that at
a meeting of the Irish organization in
Chicago to vindicate Alexander Sullivan
against the charges made by Cronin, a
resolution was offered. practically
sentencing Cronin and others to death.
but it was defeated. That fact became
known, and friends of Cronin advised
recourse to the courts, but it was found
useless, as none who knew the facts
dared to testify. The story goes
on to say that Cronin's attacks on
Sullivan in the Cello american, charging
him with getting LIE Caron into the men,
bership of the Clan-Na- Gael widened the
breach, and may have prompted some
foolbardy friend of Sullivan's to commit
the murder.
John Dewey, Michael Breslin and
others sent dispatch to the friends of
Cronin, in Chicago, yesterday, offering
to raise money.to hunt down the assassins
of Cronin.
DR.. w. NJ. Wallace, particular friend
of Cronin, believes him to have been
murdered by individuals who blame him,
as medical practitioner, for the death
of some dear one whom he had treated,
and that it is not political murder at all.
Nothing definite has been learned 10
the DIR. Cronin mystery today. His
friends talk of offering reward for infor-
nation leading to the recovery of the
body. 1t is proposed to drag the north
branch Of the river tomorrow.
Mr.. Conklin, with whom the doctor
lived, still adheres to his belief of foul
play. He will not tell to whom he gave
the private papers of Cronin, mentioned
in these dispatches last night.

Her Way Home.
sIBLEY, a., May S-Mrs. Carrie Fur
rell left the home of her husband on
Monday morning for visit to her par
ents, two miles away. Leaving there in
the evening, she took a diagonal course
across field to the main road. By this
route she was obliged to pass an unfre-
quented bridge crossing slough. She
was on horseback, and her only incum-
brance was basket of eggs, upon leav-
ing her fathers house. This was the
last seen of her alive. When her horse
came home riderless the next morning,
a search was instituted and the body of
the woman was found lying face down
wards in pool of water. On the left
side of the face was deep scar indica-
tive of a strong, powerful blow. Other
bruises were about the face and shout
ders. On the ground, forty rods distant,
was the basket of eggs, apparently un-
harmed, another indication that foul
play had been done. The matter is being
Investigated. Deceased was highly re-
spected, and it was not known that she
