A Lieutenant In tile Mexican Army to Be
Tried by C%ourt-aIartial.
A venire has been placed in the hands of
the proper authorities for the military men
who act as jurors in the court martial
of Lieut.. Augustine de lturbide for the
publication of letters in the Temps
newspaper criticizing the acts of the
president of the republic who, rs in the
United States, is communicative chief Of
tho army and navy. The work of sum-
moning the officers who will act as jurors
will be started to-day and it is stated that
the trial will take place some time
during the coming week. The military
prosecuting attorney has completed tho
labors of tho preliminary examination in
the case, which is the first of the kind
which ever came up in the republic.
Iturbide will be defended at the court
martial, which will probably be convened
ct Santiago de Fialtsla'co military prison,
by Augustin Verdugo, n of the best
criminal lawyers in Mexico. The opinion
Of many military men is that Iturbide will
be found guilty of censuring his superior
officer and will be sentenced, receiving ex-
executive clemency. the president pardon
ing him at an early day. The trial. owing
to the high social standing Of Iturbide,
and the fact of his being o grandson Of the
first emperor OF Mexico, will be the most
interesting court martial since that of
Macmillan, of whom the prisoner is the
adopted heir. Mrs. Iturbide, mother Of
the lieutenant, who was born in Washing
ton. fatty denies that she has implored aid
OF assistance on behalf Of her son from
any foreign minister.

THE CRACKER TRUST.
Particulars of TITS Formation-Det.ils Of Ii,

Particular of Its Formation-Details OF the
Combine.
The particulars Of the formation Of the
cracker trust, Of which the first public in.
forssation was received a few days ago
from Minneapolis, nrs beginning to de-
velop. It appears that this is a western
organization, On somewhat the same plan
as the eastern cracker trust. The capital
is said to be $40, 600, 900. All the principal
manufacturers have gone into this combine.
md taken stock in the organization
The kennedys, however, sold out their
plant entirely to the central corporation,
and will go out Of business. 1t is under.
stood that the capital incorporated has
been turned in, aud in addition to that, the
expenses of Zach establishment, multi
piled by a CT ruin figure, uniform in all
cases, is put ii. as good will, and stock is
sued to that amount. Whatever water
there may be in the combine, is injected in
this way. II does not appear that the ef-
feet of this combination will be to advance
prices. as the manufacturers orc sharp
enough to be satisfied with reasonable
profits. The combine will, however, en-.
able the members to SO reduce expenses as
to leave q larger margin between present
prices and the cost of production, under
the new deal. As an Instance of the direc.
ton in which expenses will be reduced,
it is necessary now for the various
establishments to maintain Q force
Of travelling statesmen, at an average
cost OF not less than 49, 900 a piece. Here.
after n set of travelling men will
cover the whole territory for the combine.
In many other ways expenses are to be
reduced; for illustration. in tho purchase
of supplies. Supplies arc to be bought by
the general agent of the trust, in very
much larger quantities, and therefore ut .
larger discount than any member Of the
combine has been able to purchase hereto
fore; the mount purchased to be after
ward distributed among the different mem-
bers according to their demands. The
same policy will be pursued in tue pur-
chase of all kinds Of supplies. It is ap.
parent that a large saving in expenses can
thus be effected. Ac~orrespondsnt hos as
certained a number of additional Interest,"
ing points in regard to this most import-
ant deal.

Tho weather crop bulletin issueaby Sergt.
S. w. Glenn, of the United States signal
Office mt Huron, covering nineteen counties
i'll North Dakota and twenty-sevcn in
South Dakota, is to the effect that the
temperature md sunshine condition for
the past week has been very favorable to
the growth of grain, and the sprouting of
much that remained unsprouted last week.
The rain has been in local showers and
very evenly distributed. There is n
general improvement over last year, but
some localities in South Dakota and u
number in North Dakota need rain very
much. Reports indicate that on a general
average crop prospects III South Dakota
are very good, and in North Dakota from
fair to good. Cut-worms are doing con-
siderable damage, and in some localities
the ground devoted to corn will be planted
to later crops. The worms appear to work
in districts or spots, and in some instances
have destroyed whole fields of wheat.
These cases, however, are rare. High
winds have been unfavorable.
