WINTER WHEAT CROP.
It's Condition in the Different States
A Fair Showing.

CHICAGO, March S.-The Farmers Re-
rielc has the following winter wheat crop
summary:
In Illinois one-half of the correspondents
report the crop in good condition. In a part
OF the state the wheat has started 10 grow, but
il is rather thin and small on account of the
dry weather in the fall but the weather Is now
favorable and the condition improving About
50 per cent. report the condition as fair and 10
per cent. report poor.
In Indiana 55 per cent Of the correspondents
report good, 40 per cent fair and the others
poor. In some of the counties reporting only
fair the correspondent states that If there be
no sudden freeze or thaw the crop may i'm
prove 10 good" There has been little or no
heaving by the frost and the plant is now
growing well. In other localities some of the
wheat has been frozen out but the early sown
is looking very good.
The condition in Ohio is not good. Only 20
per cent of the correspondents report good, 30
per cent. report fair and q per cent poor.
A number Of localities report damage by freez.
ing and thRwing; in some cases serious.
Two-thirds of the correspondents in Michigan
report the condition as good, 80 per cent fair
and the rest poor. In some places the plant
has been heaved out of the ground and tho fly
did some damage IN the fall
In Kentucky 20 per cent. OF the correspond
entS give the condition as good. &c per cent. as
fair and - per cent. MS good. Some damage
by freezing is reported.
In Missouri the outlook for the crop is not
nearly so good as il was at this time last year.
One-thrd OF the correspondents report good,
one.iifth fair and the rest poor. However, in
many sections the farmers believe that II the
weather holds good there will be great
oome-oup in wheat. In some counties the crop
is reported as "about done for"
In Kansas 40 per cent. of the correspondents
report the condition as good; 70 per cent. as
fair aud the remainder as poor. AT some points
the crop Is in a critical condition and late
sown has not yet come up.
In Iowa GO pen cent. of the correspondents
report good; 30 per cent report fair and the
others poor. A great many OF the correspond
ents in this state report that no winter wheat
Is raised in the counties. In some cases the
crop looks we'll but the acreage is not more
than half of that Of last year.
In Wisconsin One-half OF the correspondents
report the condition as good; ~ per cent re-
port fair and the rest poor. The condition in
some places is critical owingsto freezing aud
thswiDg. with poor outlook.

PROHIBITION IS WIPED OUT.
At Least So Ears AS the State of Iowa
is Concerned.

Dies MONIES, Ia, March S.-The Iowa
prohibition law was practically wiped out
of existence today. The state senate this
afternoon, by vote of p to -. adopted
the Catch bill, which allows county
option, each community being given the
right to settle the liquor question for it
self by elections to take place not oftener
than every five years. The matter can be
brought up only on petition of one-ffth
OF the legal voters. Three republican
senators this afternoon sided with num-
Der of democrats in the passage OF the bill.
There is little doubt that the measure will
receive the approval OF Governor Boies
and become a statute. An acrimonious
debate preceded the final roll-call, the
question at issue being rs TO where rested
political responsibility for the bill. The
announcement of the vote was received
quietly, but with signs of relief by the big
audience present.

1hen the election came ana never was such
defeat administered to reoTsant party as was

lakes to the gull, people rose almost one
man. They condemned il in bulk and in detail.
They reegated to private life the leaders who
had conceived it and the followers who had
executed IL. An arrogant majority was con-
verted into an Insignificant minority. New
England sent majority of democrats here. the
whole North sent maiOrity, the South sent

the fercer the better, until some recognition Is
given to the principle that taxes should be

government rather than for the oppression OF

the few.
In the course of his speech Mr.. McMilin
was interrupted bv Mr.. Raines N. "
with the suggestion that the state cleo
tions in New York had not been Ola char
acter to encourage the democratic party.
Mr.. McMilin retorted that the ex-
speaker had on Monday last referred TO
the triumphant march OF truth. That
march was emphasized by the fact that
the gentleman from Maine Mir. Reed no
longer occupied the chair, but was rele-
gated TO the floor, where he could do
nothing but curse and cry. Laughter. !
The CITY of the gentleman from Maine had
gone democratic the other day. APP

Mr. Reed, who was in the cloak room
when his name was mentioned. strolled
down one of the aisles. and as he did SO
made the apology that ne had not been
present because he knew that the gentle
men from Tennessee was speaking. Laugh
ter.
Mr.. McMlllin replied that he cared not
what the gentleman's reason for being
absent was.
At the conclusion of Mr.. McMillin's
speech he was the recipient OF 4 mag
nificent cluster of red roses and his demo-
cratic colleagues honored him with gener-
GUS applause.

New YORK, March 9.-Returns from

victories for both parties. The repub-
licans sustained defeat IN North
Piainfeld borough, which has
hitherto been republican, and
the vote in Union county shows demo
cratic gains. The republicans made q
clean sweep in Neptune township and
also elected their ticket in Ocean and
Shrewsbury townships. The democrats car
ried MaualaDan and Freehold townships,
while the republicans elected their city
treasurer and freebooter in Salem, and In
the county elected every freebooter, re-
tanning control of the board by large

DAMAGES FOR DAGOES.
The Families OF tho Lynched Italians
Will Bring Suit at New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, March S-A new and
unexpected chapter in the history of the
Hennessy assassination and the lynching
of the Italians that followed has come
out. A claim will be filed in the U. s.
court against the city this week by the
families of the Italians who were never
naturalized for damages. The claims will
vary from $50, 900 to $4,000 and the total
will amount TO between $4,000 and
100000. Not one of the families of those
who were naturalized is included in the
claim. 1t is a claim against the city.
Judge Sambola, one OF the best known
citizens Of the state is beginning the suit.
1t is brought 10 prevent prescription.
The heirs of the mobbed Italians have q
claim against the government already,
but it is said that it will be worthless una
less suit is brought against the city within
one year after the occurrence. The year
has almost expired.

The well-crowded newspaper galleries
attested the public interest that is being
felt in the discussion of the issues now be-
fore the house, and the little group that
gathered in the diplomatic gallery showed
that this interest in the revenue question
and the attempt at modification OF the ex-
listing tariff laws is shared by some of the
nations across the waters
But the crOwning indication of the i'm
portance OF the discussion was in the deep
