THE ELEVENTH CENSUS.
Superintendent Porter Determined to Have
1t Correct.


1t Correct.
WASHINGTON. May disappointment
ent Of Census Porter has issued the fol-
lowing order to supervisors OF the CEN
sus: 1T has been brought to the atten-
ton Of the Superintendent of the Census
that city councils and boards of trade in
certain Western cities have appropri-
ated money to aid their census super
visors in the enumeration OF popula-
tons. While it may be urged by some
that such proceeding is legitimate
and merely intended to help
the Government to obtain Q fair
and full enumeration, am compelled
to look upon it as an almost irresistible
temptation to fraud. and as consequent
~ endangering an honest count OF the
people. II tolerated by this Office, it
would have a tendency to bring the
whole census into disrepute. You are,
therefore, positively instructed not to
receive any such compensation yourself
nor countenance for one instant the pay
ment Of any sum of money whatever by
municipalities, corporations, assOcia-
tons or persons to enumerators. Any
supervisor Of census who is not content
with the remuneration allowed by law
(which is double the amount paid in
1SSO) should at once resign. The
eleventh census must and shall
be above suspicion. To tolerate
any action on the part Of municipalities,
associations, organizations or individ-
uals, no matter how powerful they may
be, which has for its purpose the de-
bauching or which would even throw
the slightest faint upon the truthful
ness OF the returns would, in my opin-
ion. be nothing short Of crime against
the people of the United States. The
whole matter, together with the facts
in possession of this Office, has been laid
before the Secretary Of the Interior and
the action OF the Superintendent OF
Census in placing every legitimate OBJ
stacle at his command in the way Of the
distribution of local funds for tbs pur-
pose meets with the Secretary's ap-
uroyAl."

May Wheat Average Point Lower-Condl-

May Wheat Average = Point Lowor-Condi

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE official re-
port OF the condition Of winter grain
May makes o reduction Of one pointin
wheat, the average being 80. The rye
average is maintained, being 93.5; bar
ley, $40.
Areas In wheat roots which were moi
too severely frosted, have improved dur
ing the last month; in others the injury
is shown to be greater than appear.
ances indicated. The heaviest decline
in condition appears in Indiana and Hi
nois. A part Of tho Ohio breadth i'm
proved while larger part declined,
causing fall of five points for the State.
A loss in condition is reported in Texas
from the ravages OF an aphis, or plant
louise. There is o decline through the
southern belt from injury by the freeze
and the depredationsO Of insects. On the
other hand there is a partial recovery
from the very low condition Of April on
the Pacific coast, and improvement in
Kansas, Michigan, Kentucky and Ten
nessee. and in New York. The aver
ages Of condition for the States OF prin-
cipal production are rs follows: New
York 81, Pennsylvania 90, Ohio 81,
Michigan 73, Indiana 6S, Illinois "a,
Missouri 81, Kansas 92, California 50,
Oregon 95. The Southern States pro-
ducing wheat show: Maryland 9s, Vir-
GINA 95, North Carolina 80, Georgia %,
Texas 81, Tennessee 81.
The reported progress Of spring plow-
ing and planting indicates an average
state Of forwardness Of farm work. 1t
is evident that the depression in prices
OF corn and oats and their products has
not affected the wages Of agricultural
labor.
The reports relative to c2tton report
the progress of planting and conditions
affecting seeding and termination.
Planting is late except in the Carolinas.
In Georgia is scarcely up to the average
at this date, the delay being caused by
drought, difficulty of blowing and slow
termination. From Alabama westward
serious delays have occurred from
excessive rains, overflow of bottom
lands and floods from the rise OF
great rivers. Replanting is necessary
where the seed has rotted in the ground.
Great scarcity of seed is reported in
parts of Tennessee. Usually nearly
seven-eighths Of the cotton area is
seeded before the close of April This
year only three-fourths has been
planted. The proportions in the
several States reported as follows: Vir-
ginia IS per cent, South Carolina
SO, North Carolina II, Georgia
SO, Florida 81, Alabama So, Mississippi
IS, Louisiana 70, Texas 70, Arkansas 10,
Tennessee 81; average 1873 per cent. In
the Mississippi river bottom lands the
fear OF floods as we'll as actual overflows
prevents planting, which will be active
ly pushed as the waters subside and the
danger becomes less imminent.

Signs OF . Considerable Boom In Trade

Signs Of . Considerable Boom In Trade
Spring wheat Seedlings Effects.
New York, May 1O.-R G. Dun a
Co. 8 weekly review OF trade says: Dur
ing the past week the business situs
ton has changed but little. The out
ward manifestations vary somewhat,
but the leading facts are still the enor
nous volume Of traffic in progress, the
expectation OF monetary expansion and
the absence OF forces ut present serious
ly disturbing even in details. Chief
and most potent Of the present favoring
influences is still the prospect OF In
creased monetary use Of silver in some
form. Labor controversies cause less
interruption than has been anticipated.
1t has come to be recognized that in
jury to winter wheat may count for so,
600, 900 bushels at least, but spring seed
ing has covered an increased acreage
and larger yield OF that kind would
naturally follow higher prices. Cotton
Is a shade weaker than week ago and
accounts OF injury less impressive. Iron
shows no great change, the radical facts
in that branch being the transfer OF part
of the production to Southern instead OF
Northern fields. The increase in wool
supply this year can not be large, but
the expectations of higher prices SO
generally entertained by growers tend
to embarrass the manufacturer. Boston
sales were large, with prices stiff.
The movement of meats continues
heavy-at Chicago 100000 pounds OF
dressed beef against $4,000 last year,
and for the year thus far $4,000, 900
against 100000 pounds last year.
Beef cattle have reached the highest
point for the year; lard receipts at Chi
cago are nearly double, and hogs grow
stronger ut the West. In general, OPP
erations in products are remarkably
large, with advancing prices, but ma My
because Of the expected loss in produc-
ton this year.
The dry goods business continues OF
full volume-at Chicago larger than last
year-and the shoe trade is also larger.
The volume of all trade shown by ex-
changes outside of New York remains
about 10 per cent above last years,
which in turn was the largest on record.
The reports from interior cities indicate
fairly maintained activity, with money
markets nowhere stringent, though at
Chicago and some other points closer
about May than before on account OF
settlements and preparation for assess
ments for taxation. The disburse-
ments to May were larger than ever
before, approaching $50, 1000, 900.

seven days number 200, as compared
with 211 last week. For the correspond

a Movement to No Made For Their Rolsase
From Prison.

From Prison.
CHICAGO, May 15.-Preparations have
been made 10 attempt to secure the re-
lease from the penitentiary Of the CON
voted Anarchists, Fielden, Schwab and
Neebe, by q method heretofore not hint
ed ut In the case. In o short time an
application viii be made to Judge
Gresham for writ Of habeas corpus on
the ground that the prisoners are de-
tanned without due process Of law. No
less an authority than General Benja-
min +. Butler says that the effort will
almost beyond doubt be successful, the
opinion being based on the expression
of the United States Supreme Court in
the proceedings heretofore brought be-
fore that body. "Ben" Butler is regu-
larly retained associate counselor in the
case.
The Anarchists lawyers say that the
writ OF habeas corpus will be asked for
on the ground that after the sentence Of
death was passed upon the condemned
Anarchists and Neebe was doomed
TO spend fifteen years in the peniten-
tiary, the case was appealed to the
Supreme Court, where the finding Of the
lower court, with the sentence Of death
for Spies, Parsons, Lingg, Fischer,
Engel, Schwab and Fielden, was affirmed.
The prisoners were not taken before the
Supreme Court to hear the affirmation of
their sentence and their lawyers were
not even notified to be present. The
sclaim is made that this is breach OF
their constitutional rights and that the
CONSTITUTION even goes so far as to say
that sentence of death rendered in
the absence Of the prisoners is not due
process OF law. General Butler writes
under date of May 10: ''After giving
sufficient examination to the record in
the case Of Fielder, Ihave come fully to
the conclusion that such action is erro-
neous in that it was an attempt to take
his life without due process Of law.
therefore advise very strongly your TAX
ing writ of error to have such pro-
cedure corrected by the Judgment OF
the Supreme Court of the United States,
If any technical objections are made. to
the Circuit Court, for a writ of habeas
corpus for Fielden, because under that
writ the facts, as we'll as the law. can
be discussed and forms are of no conse.
.quence when they stand in the way OF
the due course Of Justice. OF course,
the decisions of these questions will re-
1ieve any Of his fellows who are suffer
ing from the same errors If decided as !
believe they must be, save the men
whose lives have been taken without
due process of law"
