WASHINGTON TOPICS
The Senate Discussing the Sill.
yer Question To-day.
TALKING ABOUT ADJOURNMENT.
Debate on the Tariff Bill by Sections the
Order of the House.

Omcial Report of tho Department OF
AEriculture-The Meeting of tho Ma
tional Executive Committee Postponed
Indehnitsly- Csrlisle in the Lead for
the Kentucky Senatorship.
WARRINGTON, May 12.--The Senate be-
gan in earnest to-day the discussion Of
the Silver bill. Mr.. Jones, of Nevada,
who has been absent from the city for
several days, is in his seat and will
take charge Of the bill.
The present intention is to push the
debate to q conclusion this week If pos
sibls; but several amendments to the
bill will be proposed and as each will
be discussed at some length it is q mat
ter of doubt whether the discussion will
be concluded within that time or not.
The Republicans are anxious to get
the silver measure out of the way to
prepare for the coming of the Tariff
bill; for the question of adjournment has
been discussed informally in the Com
mittse of Finance and the Committee on
Appropriations and it has been deter
mined that the suggestion of Speaker
Reed that an adjournment be had by
the middle of July is u good one.
The bills for the admission of Wy
oming and Idaho are to be considered
also in the near future, but they cannot
be taken up before the Silver bill is out
of the way, and that will be another
reason for pushing the silver debate to
a conclusion. The Military. Academy
Appropriation bill is still on the calen-
dar, but it can be passed during the
morning hour without debate.
Debate OF the Tariff bill by sections
will be the order of the House for the
entire week. The vote on the final pas
sage of the Twill not be taken until
the week following. In the consideration
of the bill by sections, amendments
will be offered and the debate will be
governed by the five minute rule.

SHERIFFS ARRESTED
Conflict Between Federal and
State Courts.
IT ALMOST RESULTED IN A RIOT.
An Attempt 70 Rescue Prisoners from q
United States Marshal

Excitfngly from the Cars-The Marshal
Judge.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, May IA
difficulty arose between the officers of
the United States District Court in this
State and the officers of the Circuit
Court of Summers County which almost
resulted in a riot. United States Mar
shall White, under due process Of court,
had ordered his deputy, S. w. Wiley, to
go to Summers County and arrest
Charles Abbott, Henderson Farley and
Dick Price for Illicit distilling. The
arrests were made and the deputy was
putting his prisoners on the train when
Sheriff Kessler and his deputy, of Sum-
mers County, intercepted the United
States officer with an order from the
State Circuit Court demanding the
prisoners. The United States deputy
having a number of other prisoners
and fearing their escape if trouble
arose, surrendered the demanded men.
He reported the circumstances to the
United States Court, and an order for
the arrest of the sheriff and deputy for
contempt was issued.
Marshal White went to Hinton to exc
cute the order, and was informed bv
Judge Campbell that he should not ar.
rest State officers, but that the United
States officer would himself be arrested.
The United States Marshal did not heed
the State Court, but marched the sheriff
and deputy to the train.
Just as the train VAs about to pull out
the clerk of the State Court attempted
to arrest Marshal White and demanded
the release of the sheriff. The United
States Marshall called on the passengers
for assistance and declared his inten-
ton to hold his prisoner or die in
the attempt. The widest excitement
prevailed. Women and children rushed
from the car and men took sides, some
with the State and some with the United
States officer. The conductor pulled
the bell cord and the train started.
After going several miles the conflict
ended in favor of United States officers,
who brought their prisoners to the
court room of the United States Court.
Judge Jackson fined the sheriff and
deputies. Judge Campbell declares that
the matter shall not end, but whenever
the United States Marshal enters Sum-
mers County he will place him under
arrest.

Looking After Contract Labor.

P1TTsBURG, Pa, May 12.-Government
Inspector Layton is now in Latrobe,
Pa, to look up 1O7 Italians who were
passed through Castle Garden about two
weeks ago, and who went to work in the
Pennsylvania coke regions. Mr.. Layton
says the bartering in foreign labor is
still being actively carried on, despite
the efforts of the authorities to stop the
practice. The evil is one extremely
hard to prevent for the padrones' labor
is readily accepted by greedy contrac-
tors, and with their influence the slave
owner, for that he virtually il, can, if
necessary, bring his men over one on
each ship and in a short time have q
sufficient gang to be serviceable.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
Omcial Returns About the Condition OF
Crops aad Farm Labor.

Onioial Returns About the Condition OF
Crops aad Farm Labor.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-The Depart
of Agriculture official report of the
condition of winter grain on May LIST,
makes reduction of one point in
wheat, the average being 80. The rye
average is maintained, being 93.5; barley
$40.
Areas in which the roots were not too
severely frozen have improved during
the past month; in others the injury is
shown to be greater than appearances
indicated. Some correspondents state
that it is too early yet to know the
amount of vitality and ultimate degree
of development of the plant.
The averages of condition for the
States OF principal production are as
90; Ohio, 80; Michigan, 70, Indiana, rs;
Illinois, GA; Missouri, 80; Mansas. 90;
California, 81; Oregon, 95. The Southern
States producing wheat: Maryland, 90;
Virginia, 95; North Carolina, 80; Geor-
gia, 65; Texas, 81; Tennessee, 80.
The condition of moving lands aver
ages 92.9, and that of pasture, 90, in
dicating good prospect for medium
produotiveness.
The reported progress of spring plow-
ing and planting indicates an average
n,
though there are local inequalities in
the record. 1t is relatively late in the
Ohio valley, in the Southwest and on
the Pacific coast. It is earlier than
usual in the Northwest and on the At
lantic coast south of Delaware. 1t is
an average in the Middle States and
New England.
An Investigation of the wages of
farm labor has been made. The monthly
rate Of wages has not declined. Com
pared with the last previous report,
that of May, 1888, the average for the
country Is unchanged, though slight
local fluctuations are reported. A
scarcely apprsciable increase appears in
tho Eastern and Middle States, and
there is some increase in Virginia.
There Is q slight reduction of the rates
Of the Pacific coast region, which are
still relatively high. Throughout the
central areas North and South, the
averages are practically the same as
two years ago. 1t is evident that the
depression in prices Of corn and oats
and other products has not affected the
wages of agricultural labor.

could be gotten of the ferceness or ex-
tent of the terrible storm. Professor

about mile and a half through this
city was traversed in little more than
twenty seconds. The eighteen persons
injured will recover.

THE BASEBALL STRUGGLE.
neduction In the Price OF Admissne.

Now Under Consideration.
NEW YORK. May 12.-It is again re.
ported that the National League people
are considering the reduction Of the
price of admission to the games. It will
be remembered that some time ago the
magnates threatened to resort to this
means II necessary to break the force of
the Players League more completely.
When the Pittsburg Players' club an.
ticipated their local rival and cut down
the price 1t stole q march on the mag.
mates. This action was followed by
considerable talk Of fall in price Al
Buffalo and Cleveland. As yet the
figures have not been changed in these
cities, but they are moro than likely to
be reduced within q few days.
II all the Western cities cut tho rates
1t II not at antunlikely that the Eastern
clubs will follow suit, and the move
ment OF the one organization in this
direction will be quickly followed bv
the other. The New York, BROOKLYN.
Boston and Chicago clubs are opposed
to any reduction, and they have very
good reason to be. Such . step on the
part Of the League would be an aoknowl-
edged Waterloo. The clubs, as whole,
can better afford 1t than the Brother
hood, but the chances are that the mag
mates would only be compelled to put
their hands deeper in their pockets to
meet current expenses. There is no a..
surance, either, that the players would
not try to battle through the season on
q ffty-cent tariff. The League was a
hrmer organization with its half-dollar
circuit than the Association was at a
quarter. The people felt that the
League was q superior organization and
gladly paid the difference in price to
see its clubs play in preference to the
younger organization. May they not
argue the same way in reference to the
League and Brotherhood There is,
however, not SO much foundation for
that argument in reference to tho two
organizations. A glance at the score
and visit to the games Of both organ
izations will provo little superiority of
one club over the other. Should the
League take such step it would be .
sad blow to the Brotherhood. It would
completely upset all its calculations.
Their salary lists would eventually
have to be reduced and sad havoc would
be wrought all around.
Mr.. Won der Abe of tho st. Louis Club
Is reported as saying that the Pittsbur9
Baseball Club, now in tho National
League, is anxious to return to tho
American Association, and that the
club viii! certainly be a member of the
Association next season.

WASHINGTON. May l2.-An effort is be.
ing made to start Sunday baseball plav-

of the Washington club thinks Sunday
would not affect the weekday attendance

field just across the long bridge of the
Virginia shore. President Young, Of
the League, an old resident of Washing
ton, however, has given the scheme a
setback, by coming out fat footed
against Sunday ball-playing. He thinks
" demoralizing and injurious to the
