ROYAL ANTAGONIST.
The Prince Of Wales Responsible
for Wilson's Appointment.
HIS HATRED OF sIR WILLIAM.

Members OF the Bar Assert That the
Crown, for the First Time I'm VIC
toria's Reign, Has Taken Sides in
a Private Suit at Law-other Old
World News.
LONDON, March 27.-The announce
ment that the queen has appointed Ar
thur Wilson to be high sheriff Of York
shire, and proposes to bestow on him
the honor of knighthood, has reused
strongly unfavorable criticism. The
members pf,the bar generally speak Of
it as an interference with the course of
justice by attempting to create preiu-
dice in behalf of one Of the defendants
in the Sir William Gordon Cumming
suit for slander. The appointment is
said TO have been made at the urgent
personal request of the Prince of Wales,
and in the face of the reluctance of
Lord Salisbury, who wished to defer
the bestowal Of honors upon Mr.. Will
son until after the haccarat scandal had
been removed from The courts.
Sir William Ostracized by Royalty.
The prince takes emphatically the
side of the Wilson's, and is SO pro-
nounced in his antagonism to Cum
ming that none of the princes dare to
associate with that nobleman, who has
been notified that it would be well for
him, pending the decision of his suit, to
remain away from the Marlboro club,
at which the Prince of Wales is fire.
quent visitor. Friends of the prince
say that his action is not without justi-
fication, as will appear at the trial, and
that after securing lenient treatment
for Cumming, he has been rewarded
with gross ingratitude, especially in the
requirement that he shall personally
appear as witness.
Charge Against the Crown.
Nevertheless, the promotion of Mr..
Wilson is being made effective use of
by the partisans Of Sir William as evil
dence that unfair means are resorted to
strengthen his opponents, and that, for
the first time during Victorias reign,
the crown has taken sides in a private
suit ut law between subjects.
Russian Encroachments in Persia.
LONDON, March 27.-A ST. Peters
bnrg dispatch accounts for the myster-
ious negotiations that have for some
time been in progress between Russia
and Persia. The Shah's government
has consented, after considerable pres
sure, to permit a Russian company to
construct a highway from Enzelie to
Teheran, ostensibly to furnish secure
transportation between the roads al
ready built by Russia through Persia,
but really giving a passage route
whereby Russian troops could obtain
access to the capitol of the shah. The
news OF the concession causes some
anxiety in England.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. I9-The Grand
opera house was packed this evening by
people who attended the first joins meet
ing Of the series of six to occur between
Senator PETER and Hon. j. R. Burton of
Abilene Mr. Burton opened in an hours
speech and closed in half hours address,
Senator PETER filling the intermediate
hour and a half Senator Peffer's speech
was in defense of the Alliance movement,
as result of outrageous financial enact
ments. Mr. Barton defended the Repub-
licaa party and defined the causes
of hard times, from which he
stated, we are just emerging, as
over speculation and over produc ion, the
west having opened to cultivation in four
leeu V, ars more land than had been opened
in two centuries previously, aud immi-
grafton to these lands having so enhanced
their market value that people went over
head and ears in debt in order to possess
farms and lots or TO increase their possess
ions. He stated that up to 1871 the area
in staple crops in the United States was
90. 100, 900 acres, and by 1885 it had in
creased to EOS, 000, 900, the area having
increased 1l2 per cent, while population
increased by A per cent He stated that
the lands being now substantially taken
up and population having since 1885
caught up with and outrun production,
the prices of staple crop products We're
bound to increase.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

NEW YORK, Oct. I9-Henry Clews, in
his weekly financial circular, says:
Between the injury to spring wheat
from the late storms and the increased
Weld of winter wheat, 1t can only be
roughly guessed what will be the domes-
tic output of that cereal; while the esti-
mates of the European crop are improving
and may quite possibly reach considerably
larger dimensions than have hitherto been
expected. The cotton crop also can be but
vaguely guessed in it, present stage. The
government Oc- b-r report shows a very
serious decline from the condition given in
the estimates Of september, but there IS
much dist rust that the data on which the
bureau Of agriculture bases its figures may
have been isJorted through influences
coming from the Farmers Alliance; and
this suspicion is countensnced by the tenor
of private adviCes as well a. by the unprs-
cedented volume of the current receipts of
cotton. There are, however, so many con-
tin zencies about this crop for the next
few weeks that no expert would
venture definite estimate OF it
until December. II is also to be noted
that while the business of the country at
large is steadily improving, yet at present
there Is no such boom in general trade as
has been expected from the extraordinary
harvest; this, however, is largely explain
able from the fact that the real results of
a good harvest do not come until the pro-
ducts have been in n good measure mar
keted, which, at this stage. is not true of
any of our farm staples. Owing to these
uncertainties about the outcome OF the
grain and cotton crops, there is a CORES
ponding uncertainty, for the time being,
as to what may be the course of railroad
traffic While, therefore, there can be no
question about the ultimate abundance of
the crops and of the beneficial effects of
that abundance upon the general trade of
the conntry at later period, yet these un-
certainties as TO certain details justify
some hesitation in speculative transac-
tiOns and afford moderate material for
helping those who may be interested in a
decline in the prices of securities.
AT this point money, both on call and
on time, works easier, owing to the i'm
ports of gold and the declining demand
from the interior for currency. This
feature facilitates the carrying of stocks
and is so far bull factor of some impor-
tance.
For the present, the situation warrants
The halt in the upward
is liable to produce frequent
temporary drops and quick rallies in
prices; and ii is advisable TO wait for the
periods of such fluctuations as the safest
occasions for either buying or selling. But
the prudence of these
see no reason for any weak
ening of confidence in the ultimate revival
of the boom and in further advance of
prices when the later benefits of large
crops and of abundance of money make
themselves more broadly felt"

CHICAGO. Oct. 19-Railroad men are
not so joyful over the outlook as they were
n month ago. They expected that By this
time they would be put to their utmost
exertions to furnish cars for east bound
freight, but, instead, they fiud that there
has been no strain whatever on the capac
ity of their roads. Not only is business
dull, but its volume is actually decreasing
from week to week, and, what is more
surprising, it continues to fall far short of
the Tonnage record for the corresponding
period in 1890, which was regarded as
an off year. This falling off can no
longer be attributed to water competition,
for lake shipments during the past two
weeks have decreased even more than ship
ments by rail. The e4stbound movement
of dead freight by the railroads last week,
including both through and local consign-
ments, amounted to SO SIC tons, against
60, l05 tons for the preceding week, a de-
crease of 1859 tons, and against 67, 1868 tons
for he same period last year, decrease of
10 S47 tons. At the same time lake ship
ments fell from 103, 125 tons for the pre-
ceding week to 81, ,679 tons last week.

THE OMAHA LYNCHlNG,

OMAHA. Oct. 19-George Coe, the colored
rape fend, who was generally supposed TO
have been strangled to death by mob of
infuriated lynchers, died from fright.
That is what Assistant Coroner Dr. Alli-
son declared today under oath, and, on the
strength of it, the county attorney asked
for a continuance of the preliminary ex-
animation of the alleged lynchers, so that
he could amend the Information to suit
this new phase of the situation Tue
court granted the request, and continued
the case until Friday. DR.. Allison, in the
post mortem report, says that the con-
tracted condition of the heart indicated
that death resulted from some great men
tai emotion, and that he is satisfied that
Smith died of fright.
