Destructive Hailstorms.

A terrific wind, rain and hail storm. ac-
companied by the roaring noise of q tor.
nado, passed north of Monmouth, Ill.
The mercury fell twenty five degrees in
two hours. Hail fell as large as walnuts
and many windows were broken. The roar
of the storm created a panic in that city
Bloomington, ILL.,, and its surroundings
were de.uged. Four inches of water fell in
less than an hour. All the streams are far
out of their banks. Great damage has
been lone 10 country roads and bridges.
A phenomenal fall of hail as large as
walnuts accompanied the storm. The
glass in the greenhouses was demolished

A Canadian Affair

In the Ontario legislature Mr.. Graham,
member for East Lambton, moved that in
the opinion Of the house it is desirable
that closer trade relations should be es-
tablished between the United States of
America and the Dominion of Canada and
that the Legislature of the Dominion of
Canada should take such steps as they may
deem ezpedient to bring about unrestricted
reciprocity between tbs United States of
America and the Dominion Of Canada.
There was no use in conceal
ing the fact that the farmers were
handicapped by the p%rohibitory
tariff which the Americans had put
upon their products, and if something was
not done to relieve the farmers they would
soon become bankrupt. The United States
was their natural market, he said, and II
was in the interest Of the whole country
that closer trade relations should prevail.
The farmers were as loyal as any other
men, but they had . right 70 ask that JUS

WEATHER. cRor BuLLnrIN.

Conditions In the Norttwest Have
Been Most Favorable to Planting.
The weather crop bulletin forsthe week
ending Saturday says:
The weather during the past week has
been the most favorable of the season for
growing crops and general farm work
throughout the entire valleys and north
west, the conditions extending southwark
to Texas and the Gulf states, and seeding
is progressing rapidly as far north as Min
nesota and Dakota, where conditions were
very favorable.
The dry weather in Kansas has not un-
favorably affected crops in That state,
where corn planting is in progress, and
oats, wheat and grass are growing rapidly.
Crop prospects have improved in the
south, where the planting of cotton and
corn is In progress. While crops were
generally improved in Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi, Richland and st. John parishes in
Louisiana are suffering from overflow, and
the uplands in Mississippi are too dry and
much in need of rain.
The light frosts which occurred in the
south Atlantic states on the 18th slightly
injured tender vegetables, but caused no
damage to staple crops. In the middle
Atlantic states the weather was generally
unfavorable, farm work being much re-
tarded by continued rain and wet ground.
In Virginia, however, the weather was
more favorable for wheat and grass and
the seeding of oats.
Reports from New England show, that
blowing and planting in that section have
been delayed by the wet condition of the
ground, but tobacco has been planted in
Connecticut, potatoes are being planted in
Massachusetts, and an average sugar crop
is expected in Vermont.
The season, is reported as unusually
backward in Oregon; rain, hail and snow
occurred during the week; farm work was
retarded; and the condition of wheat is
promising, but slow in growth, frequent
frosts having caused no material damage,

The SnaniSh Situation.

There is little doubt that the present
Spanish cabinet will be overthrown
shortly, before the July recess most
assuredly. There is a strong opinion, too,
that before its reassembling monarchy will
be overthrown for o second time in this
generation and republicanism given an
other trial. Ths GOODNESS and elaboration
with which the leaders of the republican
party are acting, and the subordination of
Che rank and file, give hope of a revolution
as complete and bloodless as that in
which the Brazilian monarch was de-
posed. There are no signs of gen.
eral rioting by p~reconcert, nor is
there any promise of threatening pro-
nunciamentos; but there is q calm con-
seriousness of strength underlying all the
republican movements that shows q pro-
found belief that the people are with them
en- masse. For the past year Legislation
md the force Of public opinion have
strengthened civic force in Spain, to the
anger and dismay of the military officers OF
the old school. These latter have remon.
strated with the crown and several Of them
have resigned in consequence of the replies
which they received. Two or three ex-
marshals, at least, have put their property
into portable shape and are prepared TO,
exile when the storm bursts. The conf
dence of the workingmen may be judged by
the fact that they have put the day for thei,
grand demonstration at Barcelona so fal
ahead as May, as if to show that nothing
hurried or violent is intended. At or about
the same time the vote upon the universal
suffrage bill will be reached unless some.
thing unforeseen induces its projectors o,
opponents to force the question upon the
country before that time. Sagasta will be
ousted from the premiership; so much ap-
pears to be settled, and although Canovas
del Castillo is confidently spoken of as
his successor, Martinez Campos will prob
ably be selected TO fill the place, If the OBJ
lection to a military man can be overcome.

A DIZZY DECEIyER,
A Boston Bigamist the Object of Atten-
ton i'll St. Paul's

A Boston Bigamist the Object of Atten-
ton in st. Paul's Lookup.
The alleged bigamist, Thomas P. Lith-
COW, just now the object of considerable
public attention in St. Paul's lookup, is
we'll known in Boston, his native town.
His real name is Thomas L. Safe, and out
side of his excellent family connections,
his many swindling schemes have made him
famous both in Boston and New York,
which has been his chief camping ground.
Safes parents for years resided in Boston.
His father was q typical Yankee, whose
adventurous spirit when young led him to
foreign chimes, and he amassed o large
fortune in shipping. Among his various
enterprises was sugar raising in San
Domingo, where he possessed large es-
tates. While cultivating these he met a
beautiful Spanish girl of pure Castilian
blood, and married her after q most ro-
mantle series of adventures necessary to
outwit family and church. This lady was
Safes mother, and from her he obtained
bis Spanish address and appearance. He
also inherited his mothers beauty and is a
handsome fellow. He inherited from his
father considerable means, but quickly
went through it. He was then thrown on
his own resources, for his dead parent
knowing his failing had left most of his
fortune to his eldest son. Thomas fell in
love shortly after his fathers death with q
Boston girl, not his equal socially and the
family never recognized her. This wife he
took to New York and has had three
children by her. Finally his elder brother,
who was in San Domingo in the sugar
business, sent for Safe and offered him an
interest in the business, which VISA &C.
cepted gladly, for it gave him o chance to
get away from his wife, whom he was tir-
ing of.
1t was while with his brother and run
ming backward and forward between the
states and San Domingo that he was able
to court Miss Phillips, to whom lie repre-
sented himself as a Spaniard. After his
marriage with her he gave himself out as a
commercial traveller, and wa thus enabled
to account to both his wives for his tenn
porary absence from ench. His financial
transgressions so disguised his brother
that Thomas was sent adrift, and being
cast upon his own with no means
was the cause Of his basely deserving his
second wife. Miss Phillips: and going west
to raise the wind. This led to his expos
ure. His first wife has entered suit for di-
yorce. This is q brief sketch Of Safes ca
reer and does not give the hundred petty
instances Of his crooked business transsc-
tons:

Lawrence Barrett Seriously Ailing.

While in Cincinnati last week Edwin
Booth, the tragedian, received a letter
from Lawrence Barrett, now IN Europe,
which makes it appear improbable that the
latter will ever again appear on the stage.
The letter communicates the fact, so long
dreaded, that the operation to which Mr..
Barrett submitted last summer would not
finally relieve him of the neck af1iction for
which it was undertaken as o last resort.
The gloomy tidings just received are in
substance that the complaint has again
manifested itself in other parts Of the body.
This time the legs and arms are affected.
One of the legs, Mr.. Barrett states, is es-
peciallY distorted with the tumors. How
ever. he is not without hope of a cure.

companying Will Barnes were in q train

Memorial in the House,

An air of sadness prevailed in the house
when the speakers gavel called that body
to order. Draped in black and ornamented
with a handsome floral design, the seat
long occupied by Mr.. Randall recalled to
the members the fact that their old col.
league had passed away forever.
A crayon portrait of ex-speaker hung in
the lobby, was also tastefully draped with
emblems of mourning.
In his prayer the chaplain made a touch
ing a~llusion to the dead congressman, ana
when he had con cluded O'Neill, of Penn
sylvania, said:
II rise to announce the death of my
colleague, the Hon. Samuel j. Randall,
who died yesterday morning. This On :
nouncement is exceedingly painful to me.
He and I have been intimate, familiar
friends. He started in life at 81 years of
age, a full map in every respect, intellec-
tually and politically, and one who had the
element of supreme leadership which in
his latter years was complete in the esti-
nation his state and his country"

AN INDIANS PROPHECY.
A Great Flood Coming Which Will Swallow
I'm AL tho Pale Faces.

A Great Flood Coming Which Will Swallow
Up All tho Pale Faces.
Not to be outdone by his white Califor-
the Shoshone Indians, whose reservation is
in the Wind river country, southwest
of Buffalo, is engaged in the important
enterprise sof prophecying dire
calam!ties. Frank Grouard, the
United states government scout, who
was sent out from Fort Mckinney a few
days ago, in company with q detachment
of troops, to inter--pi a rowing band of
Cheyenne Indians, who were killing set
tiers cattle over the border of this (John.
sony county, returned yesterday, having
accomplished his mission, and to-day told
the Bee correspondent Of the remarkable
prophecy which the shoshone medicine
man had made, having learned of it
through a Cheyenne chief.
Within three moons, according to this
red skinned soothsayer, the Great Spirit,
who is displeased with the pale face for his
unkind treatment Of the..children Of the for
est, for having wrested from them the land
where they loved to hunt the buffalo and
the elk, and keeping them as prisoners
within q narrow space where they have no
freedom and must learn to work, will
send q mighty food to swallow
up the land. All the white men
and the half breeds will perish; all the
horses and cattle and all the wild animals
of the plains and the mountains will like
wise suffer death. But the prophet has
been charged by the Great Spirit ia carry
the warning news to the tribes, his chosen
people, that they may take refuge In the
Wind river range Of mountains, which
alone will stand above high water mark,
The range in question is located along the
edge of the Shoshone reservation.
The modern Noah, however, is not in
structed to bring the live stock out Of the
wet, for he is told, in the vision that after
the pale-faces and half breeds are thor
oughly drowned and the waters recede, all
the cattle and horses, the elk, deer and
bear and the fowls Of the air will once
more be alive with the low-browed buffalo
Of their forefathers.
The Indians are a superstitious race and,
it is easy to believe, as the Cheyenne chief
states, that the prophecy has been passed
around among all the STRIDES Of the north
west and has created q great deal OF ex-
element, being generally accepted as q
true. forecast Of what is to come to- pass,
Scout Grouard is confident that the In.
dians will undertake to congregate at the
chosen spot within the next three months,
and viii with difficulty, il at all, be- made
80 stay on their Ieseryeston.
