 It Is now the first week in May and no oats, excepting in few favored instances have been sown. The rule for farmers used to be, "Sow your oats in April and plant corn before the 10th of May" So backward a season has not been known in long time, for everything except grass and winter grain. The latter nev- CT looked greener, and cattle can in many instances get their sustenance without bite of hay. Spring chickens are not very numerous Earle Abbott has two hens who industrously put in all their time for three weeks and have one smart chick between them to show as fruit of their sitting and scratching labors.

Compromise Talk.

CHICAGO, Oct. "a Washington
special says Cleveland is getting
ready for the issue Of gold bonds Of
probably 81 900, 900, 900, either under
compromise on the silver bill or
under the authority the treasury de-
partment already possesses. ]. p.
Morgan of Drexel, Morgan & Co. who
helped float the former issue of bonds,
has just had a conference with Car
Isle and Gresham. He goes back to
New York with the information that
the best compromise that can be
made with the silver men is to con-
tinue the purchase Of 1000, 600 ounces
of silver per month for three years,
and to authorize bonds for the pur-
pose Of increasing the gold reserve to
5000, 100000. The silver men may
insist upon the purchase Of $500, 900
ounces per month, and if they do
they will consent to provision per-
mitting national banks to issue a cir
culation to the par value of their
bonds. Cleveland may repudiate q
compromise, and may even seek to
head it off by announcing that he will
provide for the bonds under the au-
thority he already has.
Carlisle's emphatic denial Of the
report from Paris that the United
States was seeking to arrange for a
81 900 100000 bond issue abroad and
his boastful declaration that no bonds
would be issued by the Democratic
administration has no bearing on the
situation.

in California, Colorado, Oregon, Ne
vada, Idaho, Wyoming and South

caustic terms to the resolution of the
Memphis merchants exchange in
taking himself and colleague, Bate,
to task for opposing repeal.
Wolcott of Colorado spoke on the
resolution directing the committee
ON finance to report bill embody-
ing the declaration of the policy con-
tanned in the Voorhees, substitute.
Wolcott severely criticised Cleve-
lands letter to Governor Northern Of
Georgia, which he characterized as
one of the most remarkable pronun-
ciamentos of this generation. He
also spoke of the extraordinary activ-
ity of the administration in forcing
it's views on congress and condemned
the act OF the secretary of the treas
ury in not purchasing the amount of
silver required by law.

and with much feeling.

Bombarding Resumed.

Rio JANEIRo, Oct, 9.-The insur-
gent fleet is again bombarding the
outside forts today. There is also
some firing on the other side opposite
the city. 1t is believed the insurgents
will attempt the capture OF the Es-
tralla powder magizine, but the gov
ernment will blow the magazine up if
it seems likely to be in danger of cap
ture. There is no truth in the report
that foreign warships are landing
sailors to protect foreign subjects.
The insurgent admiral has issued a
manifesto disclaiming any intention
of bombarding the city.

today passed diagonally through the
Pacific ocean in general southeast

the western coast of North America
and extending from a point about
six hundred miles south of the Aleu-
tian Islands at sunrise to Lima, Peru,
at sunset. In this city the eclipse
was only partial, and at the time of
the greatest observation six tenths
OF the suns diameter or nearly one
half OF the disc was obscured. The
sky was cloudless and the atmos-
phere gave good opportunity for OBJ
servation. The first contact occurred

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.

ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties OF perfect lax
0ative; efectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts ON the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

Cleveland Gets Another Scorching.

New YORK, Oct. 9.-The second Sc
ries of races between the British
yacht Valkyrie and the American
yacht Vigilant for Americas cup was
sailed today The course was trian-
gular one, outside the Sandy Hook
lightship, each leg being ten miles
long, making the entire course thirty
miles. The early morning sky was
overcast with fog, but it lifted later
in the day. The wind during the
morning was very fitful and un-
certain, blowing part of the time only
six knots per hour, but at the time of
starting it was blowing an eighteen
knot breeze.
The preparatory gun was fired at
IL :l5 and the starting gun five min
utes later. The yachts maneuvered
for position to the northward of the
mark, both carrying mainsail, fore
sail, jib and club topsail. The VAL
kyrie again got the best of the start,
crossing the line at IL 20, followed by
the Vigilant five seconds later. The
Vigilant set the jib topsail and began
to close up on the Valkyrie's weather
quarter, both making good headway.
The wind freshened and the Valky-
rie moved forward, opening the gap
four lengths, which was maintained
without material change till IL 90.
At noon the wind was southwark,
blowing twenty miles an hour, and
there was not much change in the
positions of the yachts, both being on
the starboard tack heading southeast.
The breeze freshened DIT 1910 and
the Vigilant began to creep up inch
br inch upon her rival. Ten min
utes later the wind was strong and
the yigilant. gaining rapidly, passed
the Britisher, and at 1880 was an
eighth of mile ahead a2d still gain
ing.
The British claim has been that
they wanted wind to show what they
could do, but the Vigilant beat the
Valkyrie with the wind as badly as
she did on Saturday before the wind.
At II AS both tackled and the Val
kyrie came about beautifully. At
800 the yachts neared the first
stakebaat, with the Valkyrie fully a
mile behind.
The Vigilant rounded the stake
boat at | :02 p. NJ. and the Valkyrie
three minutes and fifteen seconds
later.
The Vigilant crossed the lines at
200 and the Valkyrie at 3:O21a-
121a minutes behind the Vigilant.

cOnsum ers pass the most rigid exam
ination and are guaranteed to be as
perfect as can be made. The success
which has attended this concern since
