GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.

A Difference of Opinion as to the Best Time
of Giving 1t Out.
The following has been forwarded to the
department of agriculture:
"The New York produce exchange and
Milwaukee chamber of commerce, Chicago
board of trade, have made formal request
of Statistican Dodge for change from
to l o'clock p. NJ, in the hour of delivery
of the crop report synopsis, on the 10th OF
each month. The st. Louis Merchants
Exchange earnestly pray the request of the
Chicago board may not be granted, deem
ing it opposed to the good of the trade, and
holding that as values are largely affected
by this report an opportunity is offered to
INSCRIPTIONS persons to manufacture and
give out false information in their own in
terest, citing the instance when telegram
to the exchange stated that the govern
ment report of wheat made condition &C.,
and 20 minutes later the official report
showed 1873 The exchange requests its
issue at midnight, to be made public first
in the morning papers. The Toledo pro-
duce exchange also desires the synopsis at
midnight. The Detroit board Of trade pro-
tests against change from o'clock. The
Baltimore corn and -four exchange are also
opposed to change of the hour of issue. y
In view of this disagreement change
does not appear to be practicable. A change
to o'clock, the present hour, was made at
the request of several of the trade organi-
cations. The time of midnight, however,
is impracticable, as not coming within the
authorized hours of official service.

HOME AND HUBBY.
Mrs. James Brown Potter Said to Long for
Them Now.

Mrs. James Brown Potter Said to Long for
Them Now.
The latest sensation in New York So
ciety circles is very we'll authenticated
report that Mrs. James Brown Potter,
after the close of her present season in
Australia, will retire from the stage, and
once more throw herself into the still ex-
tended arms of her patient and long suf-
fering husband. There have been numer-
Gus rumors to this effect ever since she
abandoned her luxurious home for the
footlights, but this time, at least, the story
comes from source and is supported by
facts which place it beyond cavil. Mrs.
Potter has had decidedly the worst of it
since the commencement Of the Australian
tour, and the indications are that by the
time she is ready to sail for home there
will be a balance on the wrong side OF her
cash account running up into big figures.
If, moreover, private advices from Aus
tralia are to be relied on, she has had more
than her fill of the attentions and influence
of Kyrle Bellew, and is more than ready to
throw that very smooth and Sinking gen.
tleman overheard. AS an interesting
climax to the report, it is said that MIR.
Potter, who has always stood by and de-
Tended his cratic wife, is ready to forgive
and forget, and restore her to the family
Preside Just as soon as he is satisfied that
she has thrown both the footlights and
Mr.. Bellew over for good and all.

INTERVIEWED. The tariff bill was Their taken
up, the question being on Buffers amend
ment reducing the duty on cotton ties to
SO per cent. ad valorem. After long dis
cussion it was rejected by strict party
vote. Senator Plumb moved to reduce the
2-l0 cent additional duty on hoops, when
cut into lengths for baling purposes, to
lilo cent. AS no quorum voted, the SEN
ate adjourned.
IL the house on the 9th. on motion of
Mr.. Mckinley the senate joint resolution
was passed, accepting from the G.. A. r. a
stated the vote was upon the resolution
reported by the committee on rules, pro-
yiding that after two hours debate it shall
be In order to move non-concurrence in
senate amendments to the Indian appro-
priation bill. The resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Enloe, rising to question of priv
ilege, said that pending the call of the
house he had started out of the house with
out his hat to attend to some business in
the capitol. In passing out of the door
the doorkeeper told him he could not pass
out. He replied he would pass out. The
doorkeeper thereupon attempted to arrest
him. He offered resolution to bring the
docrkeeper to the bar of the house for con-
tempt of the house and for breach Of prom
lse to the members. The speaker in
ruling upon the question said the rights
and privileges of all members of the house
in the discharge of their func.
tions were sacred. The chair thought that
viii n
passed upon by the house. The rules of
the house made provisions for the obtain
ing and retention of quorum. In order
to accomplish that the rules of the house
required that whenever call was ordered
the doors should be closed. Such closing
| of the doors, in the opinion of the chair,
prevented any member from leaving the
chamber. The speaker had issued
no orders in regard to the matter
but in response to q question Of
the doorkeeper as to the mean
ing of the rule, had stated that to be his
opinion, and the doorkeeper had acted
upon it, always subject, of course, to the
decision of the house. AS this resolution
raised question which must be disposed
of by the house, the chair ruled it to be ad
missable. The resolution was referred tt
the judiciary committee. The house thel
proceeded, under special order, to consid
Grafton of the senate amendments to tn
Indian appropriation bill. Mr.. Decker.
commented upon the extraordinary rul
which took the senate amend
ments out of the committee of the who'll
and provided that the house should vote II
bulk upon 1Ol amendments. Mr.. Perkin
approved the resolution and defended tn
speaker from the attacks made upon him
The vote then required on the motion t
nor. concur in the senate amendments
This was agreed to. Adjourned.

Storm.

Much 6TOpOTCy "FcCASu ny sAoAohs
A cyclone of unparalleled violence in the
locality of Montreal, swept over Lake St.
Louis and the St. Lawrence, in the vicia-

land and water. At the moment the storm
burst the principal event Of the canoe
meet, at Isle Cadieux lake, the association

every yacht in the race was upset. 1t is
not known how many, if any,, were
drowned.
At Valios, Point Glare, St. AIMS and
Doryal, great damage was done TO prop
erty. Houses were unroofed, bapns, were

A Mean From NIellen.

General Traffic Manager Mellen, of the
Union Pacific road, IS i'll Boston. He
says that the prospects of the Pacific road
in Texas, in connection with the Denver,
Texas s. Fort Worth, are very encourage
irg, and the Oregon Railway Il Navigation
company's lines will have large business,
as the crops in Washington and Oregon,
now being harvested, are abundant. He
says the prospects are poor for good corn
crop in Kansas and Nebraska, and speaks
in gloomy terms of the immediate future
of the new states, Idaho, Wyoming and
Montana. The purchase of the St. Louis
& San Francisco railroad by the Atchison,
he considers very wise move, and says
the silver legislation will be very beneficial
to the territory served by the Union
Pacific.

Thinks He is Gen. Grant.

Oliver Meller, of Huntington, Ind, has
been seized with strange case of insanity.
He imaglnes himself Gen. Grant: but
every other way is perfectly sensible. A
few days ago he went upstairs to where
his uncle had an old army uniform stored
away, dressed himself in the suit, buckled
on an old sword aud went about the neigh
borhood giving commands. Finally he put
away the sword and went to Fort Wayne,
apparently in his right mind only for the
one delusion. Since he has gone there ne
has been quiet, though it is thought he
will have to be placed in an asylum.

Pythian Bills Unpaid.

Outstanding bills to the amount of about
Sc, 900, with no money! in sight to pay them;
is the final outcome of the flourish for the
knights of Pythias conclave. A shortage
was anticipated after the lax management
was revealed, but it was expected that it
would exceed $4,000, and the managers had
assurances that such an amount would be
ready on demand. At the Joint meeting OF
the finance and auditing committees
to close up the business the
truth was brought out and now the re-
sponsible men are asking what became Of
the funds raised by subscription and enter
tainments. 1t is probable that those in
charge of the fireworks display and con-
certs, which should have melted $1O,0oo
and which yielded less than $4,000, will be
subjected to close questioning. Mean
while the creditors will wait.

4 Member of the New York Exchange Attempts
BlackmaiIing scheme and is Expelled.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, March he. B. Ravens,
an old and respected member of the
stock exchange, recently received an
annomous letter, which stated that if
the writer was not supplied with $3.50 ut
once certain disclosures duplicating
young lady, who had been seen in ear
nest conversation with Mr.. Ravens,
would be made to Mrs. Hayens. Mr..
Ravens at once showed the blackmail-
communication to his wife. He re-
membered that lazy had called upon
him at the exchange to ask his
aid as chairman of music
committee of Dr.. Terhune's church to
secure a position in the choir for q rela-
tive. The recipient of the letter was also
familiar with the handwriting of the
sender and recognized it as that of Simon
A. Wolf, a curbstOne broker. Wolf had
subscribers card which cost 500 q
year but carries but few privileges with
it, The matter was at once placed IN
the hands of the governing COM
mittee of the Stock exchange
and prompt investigation was made.
Wolf admitted the authorship of the let
ter, and implicated Charles e. o Brig
in the black mailing scheme. The idea
of attempting to eXtort money by means
of the letter is denied by Wolf, who in
sists it was nothing more than practical
joke. The governing committee after
mature deliberation revoked Mr..
VOLTS card and caused his expul-
sion from the floor of the exchange.
MI. O'Brig was also asked to
sell his seat and resign. 1t is stated that
Brig will transfer his seat to his old
partner, he having resigned from the
firm of G.. E. Brig s Co. through this
trouble. O'Brig is stoutlv of the Opln-
ion, however, that the whole matter,
when thoroughly explained, will fall
through so far as he is concerned. He
declined to give any reason for enter
tanning this belief when interviewed this
morning on the stock exchange floor,
and said that he had been advised not TO
talk about the matter.

THE GRENADA HANGING.
n. J. Cheatham Hanged for Killing Negro
on July 10, I889-His AecOmpIices Sent
Up-History OF the Crime.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March in. J.
Cheatham, white, was hanged at Grena-
da, MISS. at 80 this afternoon for the
murder of John Tilman, colored, on July
10 last. The drop was eight feet, but
the moose slipped and he strangled to
death in nine minutes. Cheatham is the
first white man to suffer the death pen
atty for the killing of a negro in Missis-
sippi. In the summer of 1888 Tilman
was brought before the grand jury to
give testimony in reference to gambling at
a place nine miles west of Grenada where
Cheatham kept store. He implicated
NJ J. Cheatham and Jim LIE mon,
white, Jake and Lee Irwin, Cornelius
Robinson and himself, all coIored. On
this testimony Cheatham, with the
others, was indicted. at the January
term of the court following Tilman
again testified against Cheatham, and
would have been before the court for
the same purpose at the August term,
but was put out OF the way before the
time arrived. On July IS news was
brought to town that Tilman was miss
ing, and on sunday following his body
was found in the river with several
heavy stones tied 10 it. Cheatham,
Lemon, Robinson and the Twins were
placed under arrest within a few days.
Upon trial Lee Irwin related tho
history of the crime, as follows:
Thursday night he left church and on
his way home was met by Lemon, who
came near shooting, mistaking him for
Tilman. On perceivIng his mistake,
however, Lemon made his dismoUnt and
Joined the other prisoners. The crowd
walked up the road and ambushed them
selves. TilmRn came along about IL
O 'cloek. Cheatham, with 8 double

gang then picked him up before he was
quite dead put him IN a sack threw him
across a saddle and went to the river.
The body was taken out of the sack,
stones were tied to his head and he was
thrown into the river.
Cheatham was convicted and sentenced.
The case was appealed, and the decision
of the lower court confirmed. At the
January term of 1890 of the criminal
court Lemon, Jake Irwin and Cornell
Ius Robinson pleaded guilty TO man

Planning a Concerted Movement.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The Chero-
kee Strip Homesteaders' association has
issued secret circular, dated at Guth-
RE, Oklahoma Arkansas City. Winfield
and Coldwater, Kan, March IL, which
recites that 'the administration having
given evidence of its entire sympathy
with the thousands who are clamoring
for a home in the great domain now
wholly given over to cattle barons to the
exclusion Of many worthy settlers, 1t has
been deemed eXpedient for prospective
settlers to organize a secret associa-
too. having for its object the invasion
of the Cherokee Strip at given
time. Accordingly on the 22d day of
April at u O CLOCK a concerted move
ment OF boomers will be made on all
sides Of the outlet. We have good
reasons to believe that settlers will be
unmolested if the movement assumes
sufficient proportions.
The nine last words are italicized. The
matter was brought 70 the attention of
the president to-day and he advised that
the statement be given to the press to
the effect ''that no matter what the
proportions of the raid. the settlement
of the strip will not be allowed until it is
made Law full. -
