Welcome Rain.

From different points in Illinos &c
Iowa comes the welcome news that
the drought was broken in those states
by heavy rain falls The corn crop,
which was almost burned up was re-
claimed and in number of localities
will exceed the average yield. All
crops were much benefited by the
rain. In some sections of the states
named wind storms did considerable
damage. At Arcola, H., the Their
mometer registered 105 in the shade
and an hour later an amateur cyclone
accompanied by a light rain struck
that vicinity. All the broom corn in
that neighborhood was blown to the
ground and the damage wrought is
variously estimated to be between
$50. 900 and $4,000. From Texas
comes the report that more rain has
fallen in the western portion of the
state during the last eleven days than
for twelve years past. The rains have
extended into Colorado, South Dakota
and Kansas.

TO PASS SENATE BILL.
THE DEMOS Gratis IN CAUCUS
VOTE to- DO so.
and Coal Ordered-End of Tariff
Legislation May be Speedily Looked
For.

It's TO be the Senate bill. The house
caucus SO decided. The vote was 1870
TO 2l. The caucus met promptly.
There was no wait for a quorum.
When Chairman Holman banged the
desk with his gavel there were 1913
members present. The caucus was eX-
citing but not tumultuous. Wilson, Nc
Millin, Crisp and Cochran spoke, the
last in opposition to the surrender,
and then the vote was taken on the
all-important point. The resolution
offered by Speaker Crisp TO accept the
senate bill went through with a
whoop. There was inserted in the
resolution a clause instructing the
ways and means committee TO report
to the house separate bills for
free sugar, free coal free iron
and free barbed wire The bills will
pass the House by big majorities,
but there is not the slightest probable
ity of them all passing the Senate.
Immediately after the caucus adj
journed the rules committee withdrew
to the speakers room TO prepare a rule
providing for the immediate considera-
ton of the tariff bill Immediately
after the adjournment of the caucus
the House conferrees went into session
in the rooms of the committee on ways
and means. 1t is the intention of the
Democratic managers of the House to
finish up everything at once. The com
mittee on rules will present a special
order 10 carry out the mandate of the
caucus. The intention is TO pass the
tariff bill and then will follow the
other bills named in the caucus reso-
luton. These bills have all been pre-
pared, and though not reported from
the ways and means committee or in
regular order these preliminaries can
be dispensed with under a special order
from the committee on rules.
