MAINE FARMS SMILING.
Secretary IcKeen's FIRST Crop Report a
Favorabe One.

Augusta, May 10.-Secretary McKeen,
off the State Board of Agriculture, issued
his first crop bulletin of the season to-
day. From the replies as carefully re-
viewed, it is inferred that the condition
of farm stock over the entire state is
better than last spring. Many report ex-
ira feeding and extra care, and conse-
quent increased returns in the products.
One reports feeding a. large amount of
meadow hay with grain, with wonder
fully pleasing results. and expresses his
beliefEthat more coarse folders should
be utilized.
There is a noted increase in cows, es-
pecially in the eastern and central por-
Uions Of the state, and decrease in the
number and value of oxen, steers and
sheep, Some report horses for sale with
no markets, but it is inferred that this
relates more partiularly to some of the
understood and otherwise undesirable
ones. 4
The report is unanimous that there is
sufficient fodder to carry stock we'll out
to pasture.
The grass fields are reported, generally,
to be in good condition, no accounts
whatever Of winter-killing or other dam.
age, and with a favorable season from
now out an abundant hay crop is as.
sured.
AS far as reported, fruit trees are show.
ing wonderfully we'll for the season, and
fine, crop of fruit is looked for.
The amount of grain to be sown seems
to be largers than last year. Many cor.
respondents speak of buying too largely
of western grains, and declare a deter
mination to do away with as large an
amount of purchased fodder as possible,
by varying the grain crops sown, plant
their home resources. The crops gener.
ally grown for soiIing are clover, winter
rye, Hungarian millet, oats. peas and
corn.

TO BATTLE TO THE END.
Lord Rosebery on the Intention of the Lib
eral Governm ent.

London, May 10.-In the course of his
speech at the National Liberal Clubs recep--
tion last night, Lord Rosebery said:
''The responsibility of Office is not agree
able to all of us. 1t is an arduous, even
thankless task, but we are bound to remem-
Der not ourselves but those who placed us
there, bound to remember the six years.
sarduous work done by the Liberals of the
country; bound to remember the sacrifices
they made to place us on the front bench,
and we are determined to deserve the conf
dence that you placed in us. (Cheers.) We
may forfeit it, we may cease to possess it,
but while we do possess it, as we believe
we do now, we will fight the battle to the
end, the combat of the conclusion. (Cheers.)
'We have no reason to lose faith in our
cause or position. We entered office with
the certain prospect of beginning to realize
our cause. First, we had to face the fact
of the advanced age of our great lader. His
age has told. He stands aside, but the ex-
pectation of our opponents regarding that
contingency. was signally disappointed
They hoped that within week after Mr.
Gladstone's resignation the government
would fall to pieces, but we find no inten-
tion to fall to pieces. (Cheers.) They also
expected that a party formed of so many
groups soon would become a minority. We
admit the possibility. but the group now
threatening to desert us will play an ill
judged, and possibly disastrous part toward
their cause if they take the part they indi-
cate. That is their affair. Ours is that the
Liberal government shall not forsake the
helm because the storm happens to lower'

constitutional convention took place
yesterday, in an extremely quiet and
orderly manner. About 1900 voters cast
ballots out of 1900 registered. on the is

Six independent candidates were on the

up two candidates, who stood second
and third on thep oil. Returns from the
other islands will not begin for several

only one set of candidates was nomlna-

FIVE YEARS AT HARD LABOR.
The Sentence of Ryerson for the XIII
ing of Stevens

Paris, May 10.-George Washington Ryer-
son had his hearing before Judge White
mouse today on charge OF manslaughter,
to which he pleaded guilty yesterday. The
nearing was to determine his sentence
hon. John T. Swasey said for the defence:
we nave before us a man who came from
the secrecy of the grand jury room charged
with murder, the highest crime known to
the law, but the evidence against him is so
weak that the state has accepted d plea of
guilty OF manslaughter. Ryerson had beenssa
friend tofstsvens, when the latter was in
trouble. Stevens got Ryerson drunk,
quarrelled with him, gave him severe
pounding and then, no doubt, lay on Mrs.
hyersons bed. Ryerson went into another
room where his wife was and called Stevens
foul name. Stevens overheard him and a
light ensued, during which both men got
hold OF gun, which was accidentally dis
charged, killing Stevens. The circum-
stances prove it impossible for the gun to
have been Intentionally discharged.'
County Attorney Smith for the state,
said: The story of the dying Stevens that
Ryerson shot him for no cause at all, was
the true story of the homicide. Ryerson's s
hiding under the rhay after the homicide
shows guilt. Ryerson has wife, two girls
and niece, and they tell conflicting
stories."
Hon. James l.. Wright, said for the state
There is nothing in the evidence to show
that Stevens was accidentally shot. Mrs.
Ryerson's first story was that her husband
deliberately shot Stevens. Reliable wit
nesses testified that Ryerson said he had
shot Stevens and was glad he had.'
Judge Whitehouse said the evidence of the
state tended to show that murder in the
second degree was committed. The evidence
of the defendant was such that jury
would have probably found him guilty of
manslaughter. The court could see few
mitigating circumstances. Judge White
house then sentenced Ryerson to five years
imprisonment at hard labor in the State
Prison at Thomaston
