Seventeen Passengers Injured.


CDcINNA11, March 25.-The Ohio & Mlssis-
sippi train from St Louis arrived several
hours late, owing to a wreck at Odin, Illinois,
where the Illinois Central road passes the
Ohio & Mississippi.
While the Ohio & Mississippi train was
crossing the Illinois Central tracks a freight
train tore through It, carrying away the day
coach and front end of the sleeper.
There were seventeen passengers IN the day
coach, all of whom were injured. 1t was at
first thought some were fatally hurt, but later
investigations show they VIII all recover.
A passenger who was in the day coach
when the Illinois Central train crashed
through it, says:
The engineer must have been asleep. His
train was made up with seven loaded cars
and thirteen empties, which certainly was
not an uncomfortable train. The day coach,
Just behind the smoking car, was shattered
and the sleeper behind that was badly shaken
up, but not one in the sleeper was injured.
Every body IN the day coach was more OF less
hurt"
The engineer of the Illinois Central had
presence of mind to put out his fire, and this
prevented a conhagration.
Among those hurt IS Mrs. /. w. Myers,
Elk City, Kan, left arm and head cut.
The Illinois Central engineer claimed that
he could not control his train

KANSAS CITY, No, March 23.-The present
period of cold weather following so suddenly
upon several warm, spring-like days has nat
urally caused some anxiety among business
men regarding the prospects for the kansas
wheat crop. The acreage of the state is fully
equal to last year, that Is to say, il exceeds
10000 acres, and because Of an exception
ally favorable winter a poor field prospect
has developed into a most promising outlook
for a crop. The best judges in the state did
not hesitate to predict previous to the pres
ent cold spell that Kansas would raise as big
a wheat crop IN 1892 as she raised in 1891.
The information received indicates that these
bright prospects have not been affected by
the cold weather. A few grain men in Kan
sas report probable damage, but the great
majority are of the opinion that the wheat
has not been hurt. There is a note of dan
ger, however, in some of the reports. In
some parts of Kansas great fear of insect raw
ages is entertained.

MEAHHIs, Tenn, March 25.-Hegroes are
leaving this LOCALITY in large numbers for
Oklahoma and other poiIts, and a general
exodus is apprehendei- Coming, as it does,
at the beginning of the agricultural year the
movement is regarded with alarm by those
who depend on the negroes to till the soil. A
meeting was held in Zion hall by about 2 900
negroes, who passed resolutions condemning
the recent lynchIng as foul and unjustifia-
BILE murder and outrage, expressing the belief
that no earnest steps were being taken by the
authorities to apprehend the lynchers, deplor-
ing the existence of a feeling between the
races that precludes the possibility of negro
getting justice in the courts, and calling at
tention to the fact that many members of the
black race are emigrating TO more congenial
localities and urging all others who can to
do likewise

OF the state board of commissioners.
Before this decision Kansas City houses
could compete with the Salina house in
this territory, but since this discriminat-
ing rate has been removed the river
houses must move into the territory oc-
cupied by the Kansas house If they
wish to successfully compete with it.
This is considered here the most desira-
bic result of all, as it concentrates the
business in Salina, and Kansas City or
st. Joseph houses wishing TO do business
in this territory must come here and be
Salina institutions.
Washington, D. c., letter: There is
fair prospect for the passage of the
QuantreH raid bill, in which so many
citizens of Kansas are interested. The
bill was introduced early in the session
by Congressman Funston, and after
careful Investigation by the house COM
mittee on war claims has been reported
back to the house with the recommended
ton that the bill pass. 1t was feared
by those who are interested in the meas
ure that the house, having declared that
it would make no appropriations not
absolutely necessary to carry on the
an adverse report on the bill. The COM
mittee having recommended the passage
of the bill, Mr.. Funston and others who
are interested in it feel quite encouraged.
If the bill becomes law it will give to
the state of Kansas the sum of 1882, 012,
which Is the amount assumed and al
ready paid by the state.
The educational exhibit of the United
States will occupy space at the Chica-
go exposition some 500 feet long and
100 feet wide. This space is to be di-
vided into segments for appointments
among the states. Kansas will get a
thirty foot strip of from the 500 feet,
making a square surface OF thirty by
100 feet, and this space has been 80
utilized by Prof. Bloss as to give some
$500 square feet of available space for
the exhibits. While the general arrange
ment of the space has to conform with
that Of other states in the exhibit, 30
that visitors can pass readily from one
state to another, the detailed arrange
ment Of space remains in the hands of
the state committee. Besides the wall
space for hanging card exhibits, series
Of drawers, 568 In number, have been
planned, to contain specimens Of educa-
tional work. The Kansas space has also
been divided so as to place the exhibits
Of the different classes of schools in the
state in separate departments, the de-
sign being to have the entire education

says he feels that these islands would be
much more prosperous under ouch pEotec-

proposition and raise the American flag over
the islands, he will agree to transfer to the
United States the harbor of the island of

in promoting commercial relations between

Kansas Corn and kansas Wheat.

Kansas Corn and Kansas Wheat.
WAsH1NoroN, D. c., March 24.-The report
of the department of agriculture on the dis
tribution and consumption of corn and wheat,
just issued, shows that 81 per cent, or 45, 4O5,-
76O bushels of the Kansas corn crop of 1891
Is still in the hands of Kansas farmers, which
Is much larger surplus on hand now than
In March. 1880. OF che entire crop of IA, =
$4,000 bushels grown IN Kansas last year,
only 20 per cent, or % ,37S,6OO bushels, ac-
cording to Secretary Rusk's figures, was
shipped out of the state, and the remaining
80 per cent. has been already consumed in
the county where grown as feed for cattle
and work animals, or Is still IN hand for that
purpose. The report says that 50 per cent of
the crop of 1891 was merchantable, only one
other state (Arkansas) having a greater per
cent. of merchantable corn. The average
price per bushel of the merchantable corn
was 81 cents, and there being 127, 703, 700
bushels, its value was $40, 865, 164. In addi-
ton there was IL, 1885, OH bushels of unmer-
charitable corn, at an average price per bush
ell of . Gems, and valued at 81, 263, $50. The
report says that the records of previous in
Vestigations show that the crop of 1881 has
been excelled in quality by but one crop dur
ing the past decade.
The report places the Kansas wheat crop of
1891 at 81, $4,000 bushels, of which 81 per
cent, or 17,OOS, AGO bushels, is still on hand.
E1fty-elght per cent. of the crop has found its
way into the commercial channels and AZ
per cent. is consumed IN the county where
grown. The average farm price of wheat for
the year was 70 cents, falling on of cents
from the previous year, but an advance of IS
cents over 1889. The report speaks encour-
agingly of the agricultural situation IN Kan
sas, and says: THE unusually mild weather
and an abundance of hay and other kinds of
| feed have enabled Kansas farmers to carry
| their stock through the winter in good con-
ditiOn without feeding heavily with grain.
thus affording them opportunity TO hold or
sell for renumerative prices. The crop was
well taken care of and very little was left in
the field. The weather during the winter has
been favorable for the growth of the wheat
/ plant, and, with a continuance of such condi-
/ tions until April, it Is reasonable to expect a
fine start for a good wheat crop in 1892.

in the best condition for the planting of

Topper Eggs on Salisbury.

LONDON, March 26.-It is stated on excel
lent authority that Rear Admiral Hotham, of
the Pacific squadron, has received insluc-
tons to protect the Canadian sealers, in the
event that no arrangement can be arrived at
with the United States.
Lord Salisbury was at first not inclined to
take this step, but simply to leave matters
alone, letting the Canadians take their
chances of escape from the American reve-
nue. cutters and litigation in the American
courts.
To this, however, Sir Charles Upper, the
Canadian high commissioner is said to have
strenuOusly objected. There is growing ex-
citement here over the situation.

read, and formed the basis of discussion. Tbs
utmost reticence is maintained By members
of the cabinet as to the contents of Sails
bury 5 note, yet there IS reason to believe
Salisbury's reply as to the main point is
said to be indecislye, and although he con-
tends against a renewal, he does not commit
himself SO far as to decline to give his assent
to it. There is also reason 10 believe that
Salisbury suggests as a condition precedent
to any modus Vivendi that might be estab-
lished between the governments, that tine
United States should obligate itself to indem-
Nifty Canadian vessel owners for any losses
sustained by them in the event that it is de-
cided by the commissioners of arbitration
that the United States has no right to prevent
pelagic sealing.
It IS said that reply IS now being prepared,
in which the government viii in no sense re-
cede from its former position, but on the
contrary, will stand firmly by it.
