About midnight fifty Italian laborers
became drunk and started on tour of
devastation. The Brumfield family
were thought to have considerable OF

fields residence and were refused ad-

then forced open. Mr.. Brumfield, with
his two half grown sons, fought with
desperation, but were finally murdered,
their throats being cut from ear to ear

Mrs. Rrumfield and her three little

THE government crop bulletin for
South Dakota for the past week says
that harvest is progressing finely in the
state. Less than the average rainfall
has occurred, and the cool weather has
caused the grain to ripen slowly which
has been advantageous because of the
scarcity of harvest hands. In the
southeastern counties the grain is near
~ all cut. What threshing has been
done gives even better yield than had
been anticipated. Harvesting is gener-
al all over the state and the yield
bountiful and of fine quality. Corn
and sugar beets are doing finely.

Dog. Have peterlorated.


While the grander sort of dog has
been morally degraded by being turned
into a useless lackey, the breeds that
have happened to suit the capricious and
errant fancies Of animal PETERS have un-
dergone a still deeper deterioration. The
sleek pug, for instance, on whom is often
'lavished such wealth of feminine fond
ness, has long since become perfectly
aware of his new function in the house.
He knows he is the first pet, and he is
perfectly happy in the fact. His mind
seems untroubled by any recollection of
a higher estate. He has lost the ancient
desire of the species to be mans loyal
servant. He may, perhaps, if you happen
to call at the house and find him in ex-
elusive possession of the drawing room,
make a pretense of resisting your in
Husion. But his Sybaritic habits are too
much for him, and presently he sinks
in voluptuous slumber on the softest of
sofa cushions. These spoiled creatures
learn to take the fondhngs bestowed on
them as matter of course. They are
wholly undemonstrative, and perhaps
the most fattering thing that can be said
of them is that, unlike their rival, the
cat, they do not simulate a tenderness of
which their heart is wholly destitute

THE BEHR1NG SEA DISPUTE.
Minister Phelps Has Done Much to Put
the Matter in Proper Light.

New YORK, April 5.-SmalIey, in his
London dispatch, says: 'Phelps' article
in Harper's, on the Behring sea question
has been copied in whole or in part in
many English journals. 1t is surprise
to the British public, or so much of the
British public as cares about seal fishing
in the North Pacific. Hitherto they
have been content to hold Blaine re-
sponsible for all the troubles in this
quarter. They have been told by their
own papers, and by some of those in
New York, that Blaine took purely a
political view, and that the sober opin-
ion of America was opposed to him.
They read with more or less satisfaction
the cabled abuse of the American states
man. Then suddenly they are aon-
fronted with Phelps. They know him
as one of the ablest of American minist-
ers who ever represented his country in
England, as a lawyer of the first rank,
and as citizen of the highest character.
They find him sustaining Blaine in every
material point in his controversy with
Salisbury. They are perplexed beyond
measure. Phelps has none the less done
a real service to his country by his very
powerful and convincing statement of
America against England.

LONDON, April 1.-THE advices re-

itols of Europe show that the political
situation on the continent is regarded as
serious by leading statesmen. Several
significant moves have been made within
the past few days.
The action of the Russian authorities
in doubling the strength of the Russian
force in Volgnia, is greatly discussed.
Greatest activity prevails among the
troops garrisoning the principal fortified
places. In France troops are being con-
tinually drilled in the usual military
tactics and in addition they have been
subjected to various night alarms in or
der to test their ability rapidly to res
pond to a call to repel foes.

Farms to Take Advantage of 1t.
LONDON, April Sit is stated THAT
Smith Barry has notified the Tipperary
agent, Mr.. Townsend, to make liberal
terms with the tenants returning to
their farms. Tenants have been grad
ually coming back for the past four
months, but the large body have held
out until now, when they make a com
plete surrender, and practically throw
themselves ON the generosity of the land
lord. This is the end of the Tipperary
movement, which has cost many thous-
ands of pounds to the Irish. National
League and it's supporters in America
and Australia. One reason for the sur
render of the tenants at this time is
their anxiety to take advantage of the
Irish land purchase bill, which comes up
this week, andswill become a law virtual
ly without opposition, except on the part
ofLabouchere and a few English radicals.
Should the tenants not be in posses
sion of their farms, they could not, of
course, take advantage of the bill. 1t is
said that both factions in parliment
favor the measure.

CHICAGO, April 5.-Alvin Patton, a
New York diamond merchant, who was
stopping at the Palmer house, called Fri
day night for box, which had contained
SIC, 600 worth of diamonds, and which
he had deposited in the hotel safe that
noon. Opening it he found it was empty
The diamonds were mostly splendid
necklace, and had been sent from New
York to be shown the wife of one of the
prominent guests of the hotel. Mr.. Pat
ton showed them to her at noon in the
parlor. They we're supposed to have
been placed afterwards in the safe to
await the inspection of her husband.
He was unable to examine them, how
ever, until yesterday. After the box was
found empty there was the liveliest time
imaginable in the hotel. Walter Hun
gate, the first floor bell boy, attempted
to dust piece of tissue paper from a
lounge in the parlor this noon, and in
doing so caused $4,000 worth of dia-
monds to fall at his feet.
