THE WHEAT CROP.
Generally Favorable Conditions Reported in
All Sections

WAsHINGToN, April l0.-April returns at
the Department of Agriculture make the
conditions of winter wheat 96.9 and rye 95.4.
The season for seeding was favorable over
the whole winter wheat area, and the soil
was generally easily worked. The seed bed
was prepared with unusual care and the
sowing was followed by gentle rains. sufi-
ciently to properly pack the earth and in
sure prompt and perfect termination. The
entire season is favorable to California,
while in Oregon the dry seed-bed received
moisture in time to secure good though late
growth. The advances of the condition in
the principal States are: New York, 80;
Pennsylvania, 81; Tennessee, 98; Kentucky,
81; Ohio, So; Michigan, 90; Indiana, SO;
Illinois, 81; Missouri, So; Kansas, SO; Cali
fornia, 80, and Oregon, 81. The returns
make the percentages of the losses among
farm animals during the past year: horses,
Ii; cattle, 3; sheep, /. and swine, S.4
The weather generally has been mild over
the whole area, and while the snowfall was
comparatively light, it came when most
needed, protecting the plant during the
coolest weather. The Hessian fly, which
was feared in December in the Central
West, is yet in allegiance, but the presence
of the pest is noted in many localities, and
serious injury might follow should the early
season prove favorable to its development.
The general average for condition is the
highest reported for April since 1882, and
the individual State averages are remark
able for their uniformity. 1t is sixteen
points higher tlIan last year and three
above the returns for 1889.
A high April condition does not insure a
large yield, but il indicates strength and

Boston, April 10.-General Butler again
met his match in the United States Court
here to-day in Judge Carpenter, who not
only sat upon him literally to suppress his
usual bullying tactics, but openly charged
him with prevarication.
The case was that of Mrs. Claretta John
son, the New Hampshire protege OF the
General. who was up to be sentenced for
attempted pension frauds.
Butler wanted a new trial. The bill OF
exceptions was produced and handed to the
clerk, who, at the order OF the Judge, re-
fused TO receive them because they should
be shown to the Court first Butler said this
was the practice of the State court
General Butler" said the Judge, you
know better; this is not State court"
Butler then handed the exceptions TO the
Judge. The Judge read them, consisting of
three points, ard winding up with charge
that a new trial should be granted because
tine Court had declined to make certain re-
quests and note the exceptions by the Gen
eral. The Court said the paper was simply q
motion for new trial and not an exception,
and as to the allegations touching his re-
fusal to recognize certain motions they
were false, and new trial was denied.
General Butler, trembling with sup
pressed emotion, rose and declared his
statement was true. Judge Carpenter. then
turning to the General, with tirmnesS re-
piled: General Butler, you have said that
before and the statement you know is
false. The sentence will be pronounced
Tuesday"
General Butler then made an open appeal
to the spectators on his treatment, and in
his agitation almost broke down, especially
as he was compelled to cease on thre 1t OF

A DELIBERATE COURT.
Indian Depreciation Claims Will Not B
Heard Before October.

Indian Depreciation Claims Will Not Be
Heard Before October.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Chan
dler Il member of the Senate Committee on
Indian Depredations. called at the Court Of
Claims to-day to make inquiry about when
the court would be ready to commence hear
ing Indian depreciation cases, according TO
the new law regulating such matters. 1t
was learned that the court has decided that
the remainder of this term, which lasts until
June, will be occupied with regular routine
work This is to be followed BY the summer
vacation, lasting until the first part OF Sep
tember. 1t was calculated by member of
the court that they would be ready to COM
mence work on the depreciation claims by
the lst of October He insisted that it was
a very iificult matter to agree upon rules
OF practice and get fully prepared for work.
Senator Chandler had favored allowing the
Court OF Claims TO pass upon this branch of
work rather than create new court, think
ing the present court would lose no time,
and the work, Which has been delayed Tor
years, could be commenced very soon and
prosecuted with vigor. He expressed HIM
self as somewhat surprised that the court
should allow sO much time to pass without
even commencing work. He had also under
stood that the court would commence the
work not later than tie 1st Of May, and he
was very much afraid that those interested
in claims would conclude that the court was
rather slow in getting down TO business.

Trying to Force an Answer to
Rudini'S Last Note.
4 Report That Minister Porter Nay Be
Ordered to Leave the Country.
The President and Secretary Blaine Decline
10 Give Any Information Regarding
the StOry-An Answer Sent.
Special to THE MoRNISs GALE.

ROME, April 10.-It is reported that il the
United States Government does not answer
Marquis ImperalPs note by tomorrow, Por-
ter, the American Minister here, will be or
dcred to leave Italy, and the whole Italian
Legation in Washington will be recalled and
Italian interests left in charge of the British
Minister.
The Rudini Cabinet is deeply hurt by
American comments on the Italian diff
Guilty, and there is consequently revulsion
of feeling in favor of aggressive measures.
1t is said that the King has received from
the editor of an Italian newspaper in Amer
lea packages of American papers containing
pictures ridiculing his Majesty, and be-
littllng the power and dignity of Italy. One
picture in particular representing the King
as monkey gave great offense. Italian
blood is again boiling, and something start
ling is anticipated within few days.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-It is known here
that Secretary Blaine has prepared an
answer to the message of Premier Rudini
The fact of the preparation of Secretary
Blaine's reply is not only well understood,
but it is stated, moreover, that the Secre-
tary's letter was submitted to the President
and his Cabinet and found TO be satisfactory.
In view of these circumstances, 1t is as
serted with considerable confidence that the
answer of Secretary Blaine has already
been sent to Marquis Rudni, though whether
it was communicated by mail or telegraph is
not known. If the former method was
adopted, the Italian Premier, it is believed,
was apprised of the fact. 1t is suggested,
also, as very probable, that an intimation
has been conveyed of the advisability Of
conducting diplomatic negotiations between
the two countries with less publicity.
For these reasons it is thought to be al
most impossible that to-day's rumor in
Rome can be correct. No information could
be secured in official circles here tonight
relative to the report from Rome that Italy
would close all direct diplomatic intercourse
with the United States unless the reply was
received tomorrow 10 the last message OF
Premier Ru dini on the New Orleans Italian
incident. The Rome dispatch was shown to
both the President and Secretary Blaine to-
night and each returned word that he had
nothing to say on the subject. There was a
general disposition to diScredit the report
in unofficial circles.
New YORK, April 10.-BarOn Faya, the

ROUGH ON CANADA.
The Consular Seal on Ronded Goods to Be
Done Away With.

WASHINGTON, Al ri 10.-These are stormy
times for Canadian interests in Washington.
The exit of the Canada Commissioners is
about to be followed by a very important
ruling Of Secretary Foster, which may be
considered by the Canadians as another at
tack upon their intere~ts 1t will be pro-
lnulgated in day or two. 1t will do away
with the system Of Consular seals and the
bonding privilege which the Canadian rail-
roads have so long enjoyed, and which
American railroads have attacked as an un-
American discrimination. Heretofore when
goods have been imported through Canada
from foreign countries to the United States
there have been no customs examinations
on the border. The United States Consul
sealed up the door Of the car. This carried
it through to its point of destination in the
United States without customs examina-
ton, but under the order that Secretary
Foster is about to issue there will lie no
more Consular seal and no more bonding
goods through Canada. These goods will
hereafter undergo the customs examination
at the points where they first touch Ameri-
can territory.
