ARKANSAS CROPS.

No Cause for the Farmer to Feel Dis
 couraged-Farmers in Some Sections
 Behind With Their Work, But There is
 Plenty of Time to Catch Up-Vheat and
 Oats Not So Badly Injured as First Re-
 ported.
 LITTLE ROCK, April 1o.-The Arkan- sas weather-crop bulletin issued yester- day says:
 The temperature and precipitation have been generally slightly below the normal for the past week. With the exception of the rain Sunday night and Monday, the precipitation has been local in character. some DOT tions of the state receiving an excess and others deficiency, but altogether the week has been much more favora -ble for all farming pursuits than that of the two previous weeks. The north west section reports the most favorable conditions and great advance has been made in blowing and planting and the late rains are all that was necessary to make the weather all that could be desired. In all other sections the wet condition of the soil, and the late rains will be detrimental. The frosts of latter part of March did not injure wheat and oats as much as was thought; they are both coming out well. Much corn however was killed and will have to be replanted. But few peaches, pears and cherries came through the freezing weather without being killed, but apples stood the ex- treme cold remarkably we'll, and it is thought obout half a crop will be gath cred.

The order of the internal revenue commissioner that the distilleries of this state be resurveyed and their ca pacity changed from 219 gallons to 311 for each bushel of grain, it is claimed, will close at least 59 of the 50 license distilleries in the state. There is only one distillery in the state that can make it. The licensed distilleries of Arkansas are crude affairs at best, and with the light-weight products grown in the state it is impossible to produce even as much as 3 gallons to the bush el. The 60 gaugers now employed at the distillies will be thrown out of work.

To Elect Three Senators.
 The legislature of Louisiana meets in May.
 For tho first time in the history of any state of the Union three senators are to be elected. one for the term ending March 1. 1895; one for the term ending March 4, 1897, Senator White having been elected for second term before he has sGzi s.s.sS his first one, and one for the term ending March i. 1901. the successor to the late Senator Gibson.
 All the politicians know. but many intelli- gent people do not that in the event Of legis- lative deadlock no senator being chosen, the state will be entirely without representation in the upper house of congress until ls96, un- less the governor should call an extra session of the legislature and it should elect to the vacant senatorships.
 dispatch from New Orleans says; pre- liminary canvass of the legislature indicates that Mir. Blanchard. who is filling Whites un- expired term on the appointment of the gov ernor, will be elected by the legislature 70 that term, as we'll as to the second term. which extends to 1901. There is some doubt as to his colleague. The three candidates are Senator CafYery, now filling the place by the appoint ment Of the governor ex-Senator Jones ana Congressman Boatner.
