Democratic Leadership.

Several Members Who Can Take the
Democratic Leadership.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE republicans
in the House have been SO long under
Speaker Reeds rule that they have not de-
veloped other leaders. The democrats
never having been under a boss, are en-
barrassed with leaders. Now that ex-
Speaker Carlisle has been transferred to
the Senate, the republicans are troubling
themselves good deal about the leadership
of the democrats. They say, and say truly,
that the democrats have many leaders, and
they ask which one is to really lead, and
whether the rest will follow, predic ting, Of
course, that they will not, aud that there
will be long, confused struggle over it.
THE DEMOCRATS NOT WORRYING.
The democrats are not worrying so much.
They rejoice in having SO many men who
are eligible to leadership, as Mr.. Mills, w.
G. P. Breckenridge, Messrs. Crisp, Blount
and McMillin, to say nothing of half a
dozen others. They will, they-say, have no
difficulty IN following any one of them. 1t
is probably the general opinion that Mr..
Mills should succeed Mr.. Carlisle on the
committee on rules, and that w. G. p
Breckinridge, Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Turner of
Georgia, or MIR. Bynum should succeed him
on the committee on ways and means. Mr..
Crisp is likely TO be the parliamentarian
on the floor, especially when the election
question comes up.

CLIMATE AND THE CROPS
THE WEEKLY BULLETIN OF THE
SIGNAL BUREAU.

Warmer Weather Than Usual Along
the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts-An
Excess of Rain in Nearly the Entire
Country East of the Mississippi
How Crops Look.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE weather
crop bulletin issued by the signal service
bureau today reads as follows:
The week ending May II has been warmer
than usual along the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, and cooler in the central valley,
lake region and northwest. The deficiency
in temperature has been most marked in
the states OF the Upper Mississippi valley
and Dakota. where the daily temperature
has ranged from &c to 10e lower than usual
and where cool weather continues this
morning, with local SHOWS.
AN EXCESS OF RAIN.
The region of excessive rainfall during
the present week is substantially the same
as that of the previous week, and includes
almost the entire country east Of the Missis-
sippi, except along the immediate East
Gulf coast. Generous showers occurred in
the Gulf states and light showers in the
Missouri valley and in the northwest. There
was also an excess of rainfall in Central
and Northern California. Very light show
ers occurred on the Northern Pacific coast
and over the greater portion Of the Dakotas
and Minnesota.
UNFAvoRABLE FOR CROPS.
The weather during the past week in the
northwest, including the states of Missouri
and upper Mississippi valleys and the
upper lake region, was generally unfavor-
able for growing crops, owing to the low
temperature. which was accompanied by
frost. causing some injury to fruit and re-
tarding the growth of crops. The drought
continues over portions of Minnesota and
North Dakota, where high winds have ran
dered some replanting necessary. More
rain is needed in Nebraska and Kansas,
while the excessive rainfall in the states of
the Ohio valley, attended by cold weather,
has retarded farm work, the ground being
too wet for planting.
TENNESSEE DISCOURAGED.
Tennessee reports the weather unfavor-
able and The outlook discouraging. Farmers
are generally behind in their work Some
damage Is reported to wheat and oats from
rust, but the tobacco prospect is more IA
vorable.
In the west gulf states the weather con-
ditions during the past week have caused
some Improvement, although owing to the
low temperature the growth Of crops has
been slow. The replanting of cotton and
rice is In progress in the districts previously
flooded, and in Texas wheat is damaged by
rust. Cotton has been injured by cool
weather and occasional rains in Mississippi
In the South Atlantic States the condi-
tions are more favorable, and cotton and
corn and potatoes are reported as very
good. Although planting has been delayed
| by rains in New England and the middle
Atlantic states the crop and fruit conditions
are reported favorable, with grass and hay
also favorable.

The Nephew of One of the Losers
Under Suspicion.
DAvIsBoRo, GA, May 17.-At midnight
Wednesday, on John Halls plantation,
three miles distant, some one set fire to the
crib of John Stokes (colored). When the
crib was completely enveloped in flames the
fire was reported by Tom Minis, a nephew.
who lives with him. He woke the family
and told them that as he opened the door
to look out he saw some one running away.
The crib was soon consumed On the
next morning q large scope of woodland be-
longing to j. I. Anderson was found to be
on fire. Soon 1t was ascertained that the
fire had been placed in several places on the
edges Of the wood, and in or about the
center. Neighbors hastily came together,
and succeeded in keeping 1t under
so that no harm could be done.
Later on fences were discovered
on fire in various directions. Several OF
the citizens lost hundreds of panels of fenc-
ing. Monday, as A. L. Dudley and r. F..
Heath were coming to town, they saw in
front Of them little smoke curling I'D. AS
they neared it they found in the jam,
against the rails, a pile of lightwood
knots on fire. They hastily extinguished
the fire. A short distance away was the
same boy, Tom Minis. 1t is said that he
and bis uncle live very unhappily together.
He is supposed to have burned the crib for
revenge, and for fear of being suspected
continued his work. He will soon be
brought before justice of the peace.

of second-class mail matter.
The Senate bill appropriating 5000, 900 for
the construction of a dry dock at Port
RoyaI. S. c., the whole cost not to exceed
s675. 600. AT the suggestion of Mr..
Edmunds the words were inserted, "f in
the opinion of the Secretary of the Navy
the public service requires it." Mr.. Blair
suggested tout did not insist upon the addi-
tion of the words, ''The Senate not being
able to Judge for itself"
The Senate bill appropr:ating s100, 900 for
a bronze equestrian statue Of Gen. Ulysses
s. Grant IN the city of Washington was
amended SO as to omit the word s'eques-
triann and increasing the amount to $780,
900, and was then passed.
The Senate bill appropriating $50, for
a public building at Meridian, Miss, was
passed.

quantities as his patrons might
desire, but denied under the recent decision
