| mot states) shall be necessary to choice.
/ The Republicans have majority of six in
| the next senate. They would, therefore,
elect their next vice president. Here, too,
| the election would be totally independent
of the size or Importance of the states.
| Indeed. here Nevada would outvote New
| York, for the Republican candidate would
get two votes from Nevada, while the
Democratic candidate would get one vote
| from New York. In some states, like
Ohio, Wisconsin and Delaware there would
be stand-off. there being in each case a
Democratic and Republican senator for
the state.
This recalls a curious omission in the
provision for the presidential election IN
the house. No provision is made for states
where delegations consist of two member
in case they should be of opposite politics.
In the present house there are five such
states-Florida, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, South Dakota and Vermont. 1t so
happens that in each case both members
of the delegation are of the same party
the three first being Democrats, the last
two Republicans. But if it should have
happened that in any one of these states
one member had been a Democrat and the
other Republican, a contingency by no
means impossible, the two representatives
would not be likely to agree on candi-
date, and the very interesting question
would then have arisen as to how the state
should vote. The probability is that in
such contingency the state would lose its
vote altogether. 1t is plain from this
statement of the situation that the ALI
ance and its national political future are
worthy Of careful consideration.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.

WASHINGTON. May 9-The weekly
weather crop bulletin issued from the sig
nal office today SAYS:
The weather during the past week has
been generally uufavorable TO growing &
crops, owing to the unusually low temper
ature and deficiency in rainfall over the
greater portion of ali agricultural districts
east OF the Rocky mountains. The previ-
Gus rapid growth in the central valleys
and the northwest has been greatly inter
rupted by The cold wave, which extended
as far south rs the gulf and south At
lantic states during the week, attended by
damaging frosts as far south as Tennessee
and the CaTolinas.
While the frosJs did but little damage
to the staple crops, it is generally believed
that early fruits have been seriously
damaged in the states OF the Ohio and
central Mississippi valleys. Missouri re-
ports that IN the eastern and central coun-
ties grapes were greatly injured and corn
and potatoes cut 70 the ground In the
cotton region cool nights have slightly
damaged the cotton crop, and the absence
OF rain makes the present outlook very
unfsvorsble. In the middle Atlantic states
crops are generally suffering on account
OF drouth. but reports indicate that the
damage TO fruit resulting from recent
frosts ls much less than a. nrSt estimated
In California hay, straw berries and caer-
ries were slightly damaged ~ ralni Other

0! HE MISERY OE IL.

Human wretchedness touches bottom in
sea sickness. Life is held a feathers
weight by the unfortunate afflicted with it.
Why endure it's atrocious internal convul-
sions when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
relieves them instanter? Not only relieves
but prevents. 1t is not always on the
"briny" that travellers nausea is exper-
fenced. Railway journeying, riding with
ones back to the horses or the locomotive
sometimes produces it In super-sensitive
stomachs. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
always the prompt remedy. The mis-
chievous properties of brackish water, the
evil influence of miasma, unwholesome or
unaccumstomed food, excessive fatigue,
whether bodily or mental, the dyspeptic
tendency bred by sedentary pursuits, the
pernicious effects of exposure to extremes
of temperature or dampness, all these are
effectually counteracted by this genial
preservative of health. Cures also rheu-
matism, kidney and bilious trouble.

DR.. GRAVES ARRESTED.

Boston, May 9-The Globe will say to-
morrow: by order of the Colorado
authorities, DR.. T. Thatcher Graves is
tacitily under arrest for the murder of
Josephine A. Barnaby. The necessary evil
dence to insure an indictment has been
secured, and DR.. Graves is now bound over
for the purpose of giving testimony before
the grand jury, but within the jurisdiction
of Colorado, where he will be formally in
dicted on Tuesday next.
"If the evidence obtained, and now in
the hands of States Attorney Stevens, of
Denver is to be believed, DR.. Graves has
confessed sending the mysterious bottle to
Denver; he has confessed writing the in
scription upon it; he asserts that the bottle
contained pure whisky when 1t was mailed
in Boston, and that any poison therein
contained must have been added after the
package left his possession. The addi-
tional evidence tending to show Dr.
Graves completely is of great amount.
Any attempt on his part to avoid return
ing to Colorado will result in formal
arrest by Detective Hanscom."

THE NOlANO TRIAL.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo., May 9.-Argu-
ment in the holland case was begun i'm
mediately upon the reassembliug OF court
today. The defense argued for acquittal
on the ground that there was wide diff
ference between stealing with criminal
intent and taking money to loan with the
intent of returning. Mr.. holland, the de-
fense argued, had no criminal intent when
he took the states money. He did not
take it for his own benefit, but simply as
a loan with the intent of returning IT.
Ex-Governor johnson, for the defense,
plead for acquittal for the sake of Mr.:
Noland's wife and children. Mrs. Noland
was present in the courtroom and her
sobbing and crying was distinctly heard.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Johnson's plea
Mrs. holland nesrly went into Mysteries
and had to be carried from the room.
The judge then gave his instructions tc
the jury and at 8 o'clock the jury retired.
At 1880 the jury was still out having been
unable to agree upon verdict. The last
ballot is believed to have stood eight fol
acquittal and four for conviction.
At ~ O'Clock the jury reported it could
not agree, and it was discharged.

CHANCELLOR sNOWs REPORT.

KANSAS CITY, No, May 9.-Chancellor
Snow, of the State University of Kansas,
has sent to Secretary Mohler, of the state
board of agriculture, a letter concerning
wheat pests in Kansas. The letter was
made public today. The chancellor says
the present spring has been particularly
unfavorable for the health of chinch bugs;
but, still, in twenty counties in the south
eastern part of the state, included between
meridians 95 degrees and 90 degrees, and
between the thirty eighth parallel and the
southern boundary of the state, the chinch
bug is out in full force. In other counties
of the state the pest is not SO numerous;
still it exists in fully half of all the coun-
ties. The bugs in the fields are a remnant
of last falls brood, which hibernated. The
females have been laying their eggs, and
the young will soon be hatched. The eggs
are very susceptible to the influence of
climatic conditions, and if we should have
heavy rains between now and May 20, the
crop of young bugs will be much smaller.
Continuing, the report says:
active measures must be resorted to
to keep the pests down. Much hope Is
placed in the outcome Of the workings Of
the new remedy namely, the attempt to
spread artifcially a contagious disease
among the bugs. The experiments Of the
early spring IN the laboratory indicate the
activity of the contaaion, and II the CO.
operation OF the farmers, by sending in
large numbers OF live healthy bugs, may be
relied on, the station will be prepared to
scatter infected bugs all over the state.
Several reports showing the presence
Of Hessian fly have been received; among
others, from Sumner, Labette, Butler,
Geary, Mcpherson, Marion and Douglas
counties. showing a general distribution
But think that no serious apprehension
need be felt for the safety of the wheat
crop because of the fly.
THE report from Russell county, show
ing the presence of a small green bug in
the wheat fields, and the subsequent in
vestigation by Secretary Mohler and my
self, has been fully exploited in the news
the bug or its alleged damage TO the wheat
to offer. do not believe it will prove con-
sequential in crop injury"

THE MAEIA TROUBLE.

NEW ORLEANS. May 9.-The grand jury
has decided to take Immediate action on q
communication from Sheriff Villera ano
his deputies, asking for an investigation
of his Office The charges made by the
grand jury in the lynching case of indiffer
ence and sympathy with the defense, they
claim are too general, and they request the
grand jury to give names and specific
charges, so that all will not rest under the
same imputation. The grand jury ad
iourncd until Monday for that purpose.
CHICAGO. May "a dispatch from
Washington says that the department OF
state is likely to demand that Italy recall
Pasquale Corte. the Italian consul at New
Orleans, for violating diplomatic courtesy
and generally making himself a persona
non grata by his utterances In connection
with the Malta affair
ROME, May 9-The Popolo Pomano says
that it will be impossible hereafter for any
civilized country to make treaty with
the United States based upon reciprocal
protection of the lives of citizens of either
country.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The department
of state is ignorant of any intention on the
part of this government to demand the
recall of Pasquale Corte, the Italian con.
sui at New Orleans, on account OF his pub
lie utterances, as is reported in some news
papers. 1t is not felt that the consul has
done anything in derogation of the majesty
of the government of the United States,
and if he had it would not be necessary to
demand his recall. The state department
would simply withdraw his exequatur,
which would leave the consul without any
official status in the United States.
NEW ORLEANS May 9-On the 7th inst.
Mr.. Corte, the Italian consul in this city,
addressed a communication to w. H.
Chaffe, foreman of the grand jury, charg-
ing, among other things: That an extra
judicial body. appointed by the mayor,
from the beginning premeditated the
killing of the prisoners; that the same
body assembled on the night of the 18th OF
March to take in cold blood the necessary
steps 70 kill, for political purposes, de-
fenseless, but fearful adversaries. ETC."
The above statement has given to the
mayor of the city the greatest possible of
fense. The extra judicial body to which
reference is made in the consuls official
communication Is none other than the
famous COMMITTEES of fifty, appointed by
his honor Immediately after the killing of
Chief EenneSsey to investigate and to
bring the guilty parties TO justice. That
they should be characterized as a murder
Gus body for political purposes, and SO cre-
ated by the mayor ofthe city, has occasion
ed the greatest indignation i'll municipal
circles.
One of the results OF the letter has been
that the committee of fifty have already
commenced the preparation of a report
which Will give in detail their connection
with the Hennessey investigation, the
work accomplished by them, and the
causes of their appointment. This report
is to be submitted to the mayor and coun-
Gil at their meeting on Tuesday, and, on
the basis of that report, the mayor will
take the necessary action leading to re-
call of the Italian consul at this port.
