DakotA Crops,

HURON, s. Dak., June s.-Thirtecn North and thirteen South Dakota counties sent crop reports 10 the United States Signal Office, showing all crops except corn to be in fine condition, although sun shine and temperature have been below the average. Many heavy rains occurred over both States. All crops. especially late sown, have becn very much benefited. Reports indicate that they are in fine con dition. The growth is slow, due to cool, cloudy weather following the rains Con ditions through the week were favorable. Improvement in grass Is good and pastures are assured. Light hail storms reported, but no special damage noted. Vegetables, berries and fruits sustained somc injury. Cut-worms are doing some damage, but are not so active as during the preceding week.

An Uprising in India

LONDON, June s,--From India comes the newS o! another uprising, this time in the State of eoniuhra, whore the rebsls have swept everything before them, robbed the treasury of the Maharaiah and prepared to defend themselves against British interfer- ence. The l7th Bengal Infantry has started 10 put down the insurrection, which is strictly local in it's character, and it is be lieved not to be formidable. The cause of the outbreak appears to have been the con duet of the Maharaiah, who has of late been expressing his subjects with excess i've taxation, partly in order to pay the tribute to the British and partly for his own enrichment. He has also added 10 the discontent by receiving Persian sla we in his harem as wife, thereby giving great ofrense to the orthodox Hindoos. The Senaputti of Manlpur, who is considered chiefly responsible for the killing of Com missioner Quinton and his party, has cen rut on trial before court com posed of leading British officers. Ills fate is settled in advance, the trial being mere- ly formality. He will pro ba5ly be hanged, punishment which, ow ng to his princely rank, can not fail to make a sen saton in India.

SIR WILLIAM BEATEN
The Baccarat Case Decided
 Against Cumming.
JURY OUT FIFTEEN MINUTES
Cumming Virtually Convicted of Cheats ing--The Clubs WI Expel Him but Popular Feeling Is Strongly
 In Ills Favor.

LONDON, Juno l0-On this. the seventh and, it was hoped last day of the famous baccarat suit. the same very fami far scenes were witnessed outside and inside the court Possibly ttere may have been change in the composition of the crowds drawn to the new Law Courts, in the hope of being present at the end of this sensa tional trial. but, to all general and out ward appearances, the same people who were round and ab ut the court room Mon day were there again to day. The Prince of Wales, to tho disappointment of many, was absent. He was at the Ascot races.
 When the case was given to the jury everybody seemed relieved. F'rom the time the jury retired 10 deliberate upon their verdict until the moment they re- turned to the court room only fifteen min utes elapsed, showing apparently that they were of one opinion as to the result of the case. During the few minutes that the jury was out the plaintiff sat qa ietly in his usual scat, reading a big bat ch of let ters, in the contents of which he seemed much interested
 When the Clerk of tho court sud denly announced that the jury was ready to re- poEt iutTc WuS UlpNtmGUL Ol SuTpEisc throughout the packed audience present. Then the chatting was resumei again, the short absence Of the jury being regard ed as decide fly unfavorable to tue plaintif. Everybody may be said to have been in a brea,hless state when the jury re-entsred their box. looking rather frightened and very nervous.
 CAfter tho clerk of the court had pollei tho jury the Lord Chief Justice, addressing the jury, said
 "Gentlemen of the jury have you agreed upon verdctr'
 "Yes," almost whispered the foreman, standing up and lowing toward Lord Cole ridge.
 "Is it for tho plaintiff or for the defend antsih asked the Lord Chief Justice,
 For the defendants" answered the fore man, in q low voice.
 The announcement of the verdict was TO. ceived with slight hlssing from the gal leries where the ladies con gregat ed and up- on the part of some of those in the body of the court who were in sympathy with the plain,iY.
 Tho effect of the verdict on military cir cles, i, is generally understood. is that Sir William Gordon Cumming. Major and Lieutenant Colonel o' the Scots Fusilee Guards, will be promptly cashiered from the army, anl just as qsickly expelled from the Marlborough Club, tho Guard S Club, the Turf Club. and any other social organizations U which hs may b,long.
 The summing up of tho Lord Chief Jus tics dur.ng the afternoon was undoubtedly more strongly against Sir William Gordon Cumming than were the Chief Justices 8 remarks made during the morning. The afternoon u.terances of Lord Go eridge tnay be said 10 have amounted practi cally to Instructions to ind verdict agai nst the plaintiffs,

Dspew on Colleges.

CINCINNATI, O., June 6.-Chauncoy M. Depew spoke at tho commencement exer- cises of Cincinnati University tonight He inssanced the influence of old Harvard up- on Boston and of Yale on Connecticut. Speaking in favor of multiplicity of col leges in America, as compared with the few in the old world, he said in Europe the higher education is privilege in America it isa duty. Every col lege, said he is an insurance company against anarchy. Civ ing money for colleges was better than giv- ing 1t for hospitals. To give for hospitals was to give for repairs; to give for colleges was to give for construction and equip ment. He closed with an artistic and elo- quent illustration from the example of his tory, President Garfield

Amnixnmatsd Iron Workers.

PITrsBuRa, Pa, June 5.-Ths Anal ga- mated Association went into committee o1 the whole to day on tne report of the West ern Iron Scale Committee. The report oc- cupled almost the entire forenoon. In the afternoon tho first section was taken up. This fxes the price for pudding at 1850 per ton under % card rate on iron. This is the present rate. This afternoon the battle on the basis of the scale began. This year there are many delegates from the East to the Convention who want s6 rate on pudding. Between these and the con servaiive clement the fight was waged all the afternoon, and when the meeting ad iourned no result had beea reached. To morrow will see some lively debating on the same subject.

The Wreck Takes Fire md Fifteen Cars Durn-A Bnd Collision Between Freight and n Cattle Train

The north bound train Joe Fritz, engineer, W. J.
 Thompson, freman-was long train of empty cattle cars. The other train, in charge of Engineer D. T. Reece and his fireman, k. M. Brooks, was the regular freight. Where the collision occurred there is down grade from the north and south, with rather an abrupt curve near wooden bridge. Both tran ns were run ming at high rate Of SD eed, about thirty five miles an hour, to gain sufficient i'm petus to carry them over and up grade, when the crash came Twenty-Five cars were reduced to srliuters in a second, and to add to the horror two oil cars exploded and set fire to the debris. All the mon on both trains were seriously hurt. J. T. Harrison, head brakeman on section l0l was crushed in the debris, his hody burned to a ciuder, and bo tn arms and legs burned of before he could be extri- catei. Two unknown parties, supposed to be tramps, as they were sealing a ride, were killed and burned to crisp W. J. Bagley, brakeman on section l0l, suffered severe injuries on his breast and both legs, and had an arm dislocated. The two trains are total wrecks, and many of the cars were burned. The cause of the acci. dent IS said 10 have been the result of the conductor of the north bound freight dis regarding his oriers. The remains of Brakeman Harrison were taken to Deni. sen.

THE THIRD PARTY.
Preparations for the Meeting of the Ex-
 ecutivc Committee.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL. June 9.-There was . report in circulation this morning that MT. Taubeneck was about 10 tender his resig- nation as the Chairman of the Nation al Committee of the Peoples party. Mir. Taubeneck said, with reference to the matter.
 II have no such intention. It is true that have been asked-or, rather advised
 to resign, but these requests do not come from . source that warrant me in giving them much attention. They come entirely from the Prohibition element No one who pretends to affiliate with the new party has even hinted at such a thing as my resignation My Prohibition friends do not propose to be identified with the new party. and they think l am making q big mistake in acting as the head of the new movement. They propose to get to- getLer and organize another party, with a platform similar to the Peoples party, ex- cept prohibition is to be made the main issue, Or, at least. an issue, and they pro pose to do me the honor Of giving ms con spicuous place in their party. For all this I am grateful, but have declined all such overtures with thanks. So far as am in dividually concerned, I should be glad if not another drop of whiskey were made;' but experience has demon strated that prohibition is not popu- lar until the human race reac hes a higher point, and I am not in favor of burdening our party with something that will make it's success out of the question. A prohibition plank in the Peoples party platform would drive thousands fro III the ranks of that party. l be ieve that the members of the Executive Committee arc all in harmony with me ou tn point. The committee will hold a meeting at St. Louis that meeting is to perfect our organization and plan our campaigns in the several States in which elections will be held this fall The Cincinnati Convention adjourned with the details of the party organization very incomplete, and great deal was left 10 the Executive Co mmittee. At Satur- days meeting we will talk of everything pertaining to the plan of campaign. We will have with us Gen. Weaver of Iowa, Wilkin of Kansas and the Vincent brothers of Kansas think Senator Peff CT will al so be there. We are thoroughly in earn est, and propose to make as big a showing as we can this fall and in the national cam paign of 1892 Nobody need te afraid that will resign the Chairman,hip of the National Committee. l believe in the prin- ciples of the Peoples party, my fortunes are cast with it. and propose b do my whole dutyu

The New York bankers insisted that if the bonds wore exten ded at lower rate of interest than per cent. they would lose money. At tho sAme time they admitted that tho Government was in position to force them to take tho bonds ., whatever rate of interest it saw ht to allow. Many offers were being re- ceived, he said. from Western banks to extend the bonds at any rate of interest the Secretary of tho Treasury chose to fix

LAND FOR SETTLERS.
About 10, 900 Acres In Iowa ts be Thrown
 Open July 6.

DEs MONIES, To-, June Son July ( about 15,000 acres of unearneA forfeited lands within the indemnity limits of the grants for the Sioux City and St. Paul, Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and the Cedar Rapids and Missouri River Railroad Companies will be thrown open to settlers. Inquiries for the lists, and about certain pieces of land, have been coming in very fast since the announcement that it would be opened.
 A large part of these lands is occupied by settlers who have been innocent pur- chasers of the railroad companies and have made improvements. In bona fide cases of this kind the settler who has lived long time on farm will be in no danger of being driven off if he looks to his inter- ests and makes application as . home steader himself. The settlers will be given the first opportunity to make en- tries. Several thousan1 acres of the land, however, is raw prairie, worth from $1O to s2o an acre. The land is some of the best in the world, situated in Northwest ern Iowa, and the efforts to capture it will be tremendous.

Tax Reform in Now York

NEW YORK, June 6-The New York Tax Reform Association has promulgated tho following platform of principles. which is signed, among others, by David A. Wells of Norwich, Conn. Geo. H. Scott, ex- president of the Real Estate Exchange; F. B. Thurber, Bolton Hall, $. C. Christian. J. N. Inman, Amos k. Foster, Wm. Stin- way, Edwin J. Denning ard Thomas G. Shearman.
 l. The most direct taxation is theoreti- cally tho best because it gives to real pay CTS of taxes conscious and direct pecuni- ary interest in honest and economical gov ernment
 2 Mortgages and capital engaged in pro duction or trade should be exempt from taxation, because taxes on capital tend to drive 1t away, to put premium on dishon- esty and to discourage industry.
 8. Real estate should bear the main bur den Of taxation because such taxes can be most easily. oheaply and certainly collected.
 4. Our present system of levying and col. lecting State and municipal taxes is ex- tremely bad, and spasmodic and unrefect- ing tinkering with it is unlikely to result in substantial improvement.
 D. No Legislature will venture to enact Q good system of local taxation until the people, especially the farmers, perceive the correct principles of taxation and see the folly of taxing personal property
 Therefore we desire to unite our efforts in such ways as may seem advisable to keep up intelligent discussion and agita- tion of the subject of the taxation, with a view to improvement in the system and enlightenment as to the correct principles
 Those who approve the principles above expressed, whether for not they are able to give time or assistance, are requested to communicate with the New York Tax Re form Association, III Broadway, New York, with a view to some concerted ac- ton on this basis. This call is intended to bring out such an expression of opinion as will make it possible to organize for the action of these views.
