Winter Wheat Prospect.

CHICAGO, March 22--This weeks
Farmers Rsuieao will say regarding
the condition of winter wheat:
1t was feared that the winter
wheat had been greatly injured by
the recent heavy freezes. Reports
show that while there is some injury
it has not been SO widespread as was
feared. In Illinois three fifths of the
correspondents say that the outlook
is still fair to good. The others re-
port the condition as bad.
In Indiana 70 per cent. report the
condition as fair and good and the
others report poor. The condition
in Ohio is little worse than in the
two preceding States. Only half
of the correspondents report the con
dition as fair to good.
In Michigan, two thirds fair and
good, others poor. Kentucky, re-
port nearly half good. Kansas,
half good, fourth fair and rest poor.
In Iowa very few correspondents re-
port. Of them two-thirds give the
prospects fair to good. Wisconsin,
outlook decidedly bad; not more
than onethird good.

of the Second Congressional District
is necessary to keep West Virginia
in the Democratic column-it hav-

that the State is doubtful. Has it

ians who make this point that this
district is as doubtful as the State,
if not more so, and that the strong

TILE lSTL ZEE DEBATE

The vexing question Of unlimited
coinage of silver as a monetary me-
dium, and the influence thereof upon
national prosperity, has been the sub
ject of debate in the House of Rep
resentatives most of the week. The
majority of Republicans are oppos-
ed to it, unless the principle of BIZ
metalism shall be adopted by the
leading commercial countries of the
world, claiming that otherwise, gold
would be forced to a premium, and
silver, not beng recognized as a
monetary medium, would fuctuate
in value, and fall way below par. A
very small number of Republicans,
however, will vote for the bill. The
majority Of Democrats favor it, but
a large minority are fighting the
measure, and some of the best argu-
ments against it have been made by
them. If the bill passes, it is gener-
ally conceded that the President will
veto it.
LATER.--Since the above was writ
ten, the debate continued until after
midnight Thursday night, with great
excitement attending. A motion was
made to table the bill, which was
lost by tie of 148 to l48. The bat
tie was waged among the Democrats,
the Republicans keeping hands off.
Dilatory motions and squabbles fol-
lowed until, finally, Mr.. Bland him
self made a motion to adjourn, which
was carried, and thus the bill now
loses its precedence, goes on the cal
endar where it will probably die a
lingering death.

GUITEAU DRUNK WHEN HUNG.
Given Large Drink Of Brandy by the
Doctors to Brace Him Up.


WASHINGTON, March 20.-Dr. Til
den. former chemist at the National
Medical museum, speaking of Gui-
teau, President Garfeld's assassin,
said that the assassin went to the
scaffold in semi drunken condition.
This" added the doctor "was
necessary. You are aware that when
a squad of soldiers entered the Jail
rotunda short while before the exc
cution, and came to order arms, with
a loud bang, Gulteau fell over in a
faint.
His nervous system was shatter
ed, and the physicians felt they would
be unable to get him to the scaffold.
A consultation was held aud it was
decided to give him dose Of brandy.
This was done, and he got big dose
too. Not being used to drinking the
dose went to his head, and his oh,
Lord song on the scaffold, was, in
my estimation, a druken effusion."

ish to capture seals in Behring Sea.
The question of right has been re
ferred to arbitration, butin the mean
time, while that is pending. the Brit
ish want to go on scaling. To this,
President Harrison objects, and re-
plies to Lord Salisbury that il there
is no question as to the right ofseal
ing, then their is nothing to arbi-
trate about, and that a suspension is
necessary for the preservation of
seals through the next season, and
says virtually 'sthat sea is ours, and
we shall exercise sovereign right in
it, no matter what you say" Mean
while war ships are quietly going
that way, but after all, we expect the
question will be settled without blood
shed.
