South Dakota Weather.

The severe drouth that has continued
for several weeks over the eastern, and
the southern part OF the western, por-
lions OF the state, was broken during
the week just ended BY showers, light in
some localities and heavy in Others.
The rain has been very beneficial but
the ground was so dry that more will be
needed soon in many localities to do per-
manent good.
All crops, where rot ruined by the
drouth, have been much benefited; but
IN many localities in the east portion the
dry weather, and very high and warm
winds Tor several days preceding the
showers, had injured wheat, oats and
barley, in spots, beyond recovery.
1t appears that oats suffered most,
but generally, all small grain suffered,
and corn and potatoes, though holding
ont well, were retarded in growth, and
in the dryest localities suffered.
Corn and potatoes look well in nearly
all counties, and where showers occurr
ed show marked Improvement.
1t is too early yet TO tell what the full
effect OF the recent rains will be. Grass
VIII be much benefited, but reports indi-
ate that the prospect for this as well as
small grain crops is only fair, probably
one-half.
The rains will aid IL the termination
OF late sown seed, principally millet, fax
and corn.
In some localities early wheat and
oats IL heading. with very short stems.
Late sown small grain appears TO have
better prospects than the early sown.
With fairly favorable weather from
now on the corn prospect is very good.
Reports from Brule and Roberts conn.
Ties Indicate that the drouth injury was
light; and from Lawrence county. no in
jury at = reported.

New Orleans Now Revels In the Glories of
the Carnival.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 6.-The carnival sea-
son was inaugurated here in a blaze of
glory with the brilliant pageant of the
crew of Proteus. The trains brought many
belated strangers and the hotels are full.
The crowds on the ST. cts during the day
were quite as large rs at any preceding
carnival for the past seven or eight years,
and the attendance of visitors from the
parishes of Louisiana and from contiguous
states was conspicuously large.
The reception of Rex during the day was
attended with the customary ceremonies
on such occasions The king reached the
city by river and was welcomed with salvos
of artillery and the screeching noises of
hundreds of steam whistles. The parade
of the military was not a great display, but
what there was of it was notable in char
acter. There were three visiting companies
the Burgesses corps of Albany, the Du-
buque greys and the Boston lancers-and
each received applause on the line of march
for their excellent marching maneuvers
and generally creditabe military bearing.

Senate Finance Committee and the Tariff


WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-The meeting of
the ser ate finance committee which is to
be held today will determine whether time
shall he granted for hearings to those who
are interested in articles affected by the
bill, and on this decision will depend the
time that the bill will be in committee.
Senator Voorhees,, as chairman of the COM
mittee, has informed the Republican mem
bers that they shall have the decision Of
the majority of the committee at this
meeting. 1t now looks as If no opportunity
whatever would be given for hearings.
At the evening session of the house only
four mem bers were present when Mr..
Hall of Minnesota began to speak in sup
port of the administration. A half dozen
others came in subsequently, and there
was a considerable attendance in the gal
leries. Mr.. Post of Illinois contended that
the attempt of the administration to re-
store a debauched and discarded queen
could not be condoned or wiped out by the
passage of partisan resolution. Mr.. Still
lngs of Mississippi took the position that
Mr.. Stevens was party to the revolution
and should be censured by the house. Mr..
Lacey of Iowa and Mr.. Stockdale of Mis-
sissippi were the last speakers.
