there will be from one-half to three

great many peaches in some locali-

dant.
While there is very little wheat
sOWn in this part of the country it is
very good where there is any. The
oat crop will be very light on account
of the drouth. Corn is in fine condi>

it would be with more rain, but is
being better cultivated. Millet SOW

The yield of meadows will be very
light unless it rains soon.

over Two Hundred Passengers Perish

GIBRALTAR, March IT, The British
steamship Utopia, from Italian ports,
bound to New York with ZOO Italian emi-
grants aboard, collided to-day with the
British ironclad Rodney, anchored in
Gibraltar Bay, and sank soon after. A
southwest gale was blowing at the time
Many women and children were drowned.
A large number clinging to the rigging
have been rescued by the boats from the
channel squadron. Intense excitement
prevails on shore.
On entering the bay the Utopia, before
colliding with the Rodney, ran into the
British ironclad Anson The Utopia
sank within few minutes. The boats
were Immediately lowered from the iron
clads, and also from the Swedish man-of-
war Freya. These boats rescued $50
persons, who are now on board various
vessels. Many others who were rescued
were lodged in the Government build
ings on shore. 1t is reported that the
crew of the Utopia were saved, but that
over 200 passengers perished.
DESCRIPTION OF THE VESSEL.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Utopia.
which was wrecked at Gibralter Bay, be-
longed to the Anchor Line Steamship Co.
She was an iron screw steamer of 2. 73I
tons displacement, 67S horsepower, and
was built in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1874
She was commanded by Captain Mitch
ell.
The Rodney, which sank her, is one of
the recent additions to the British navy
and is considered one of the most power
full ironclads afioat. She is $500 tons dis
placement, twin screws, 1880 horse
power, and mounts ten heavy guns, four
OF which are 63-ton guns. Her armor is
ten to eighteen inches. She belongs to
the same class as the Benbow, Arson
and Howe.
The Anson, which was in collision with
the Utopia, is a sister ship to the Rodney,
the only difference being that the Anson
has 10000 tons displacement instead of
5000. =

Boyd'S Attorney Files Briefs In the Quo
Warranto Case.
OMAHA, March 1.-Two briefs were
filed to-day by the attorney of Governor
Boyd in the quo warranto case.
The first cites sections of the National
and State Constitutions, in which provi-
sions are made for admitting Nebraska
into the Union on an equal foot
ing with the original States. 1t
asserts that citizenship, therefore,
is inherent to the inhabitant upon
the formation of the Government. A
historical precedent is quoted in sub
sanitation of this. The words, ''We, the
people of Nebraska" in the State Consti-
tuition is held to refer to the inhabitants
OF Nebraska at the time the State Consti-
tuition was adopted.
The second brief alleges that the Lieu
tenant-Governor is the proper person to
bring suit, as Thayer failed to qualify
within ten days from the time Boyd
qualified.
A decision will probably not be reached
for two weeks

GOLD BARS.

They Cannot be Withdrawn for Ex-
portation.
NEW YORK, March 17.-This afternoon
Superintendent Mason, of the Assay
Office, received notice from the Director
of the Mint that 81 100000 in gold bars, or
dered by two firms, would not be allowed
to be taken for export. This is the first
time in eight years that the Government
has refused to allow gold bars to be taken
for export.
Three years ago the Assay Office had
500, 600 in gold and silver bars behind
its counters, but the steady drain for the
last two years had reduced the stock to
$4,000, 600, and prospect of further de-
pletion was plainly apparent. If firms
desire to ship gold, they will have to
draw gold coin from the sub-Treasury.
APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Acting Sec
retary of the Treasury Nettleton, refer
ring to the refusal to allow gold bars to be
exported, to-day said the action was taken
with the full approval of the President,
under authority of the recent Act of Con-
gress giving the Secretary of the Treasury
discretionary power to refuse such eX-
changes when deemed necessary for the
interests of the Government. On the last
exchange charge of four cents per hun
dred was imposed, but as this rate does
not seem to have deferred the shipment
! OF Government gold, the Treasury De-
partment decided to discontinue the ex-
change altogether for the present.

House, was run over and killed by a
train of the Park and Ocean Beach line
about O'Clock this morning. By what
facts could be cleaned from witness of
the accident, it appears that Clinton had
just reported off watch, and started to
walk from the house, going between the
tracks.
The train approached from behind and
engineer John Sparks rang the bell to
to give Clinton warning. The latter
made fatal mistake, and instead of
jumping toward the left leaped to the
right and was struck by the locomotive.
He was Knocked down, horribly mangled
and instantly killed. Engineer Sparks
surrendered himself into custody, was
booked on a charge of manslaughter, and
released on his own recognizance.
Clinton was Dane and about As years
