likely be put into the courts for final
adjudication. The gross delinquency
alleged is $4,000 The grain feature

CONDITION OF WHEAT.

Chicago, April 1.-The April report of
the Orange Judd Farmer makes the
condition of wheat $685. or two points
lower than was reported last year i'm
mediately after the severe March
freeze. The plant is but little further
advanced than it was in December. A
considerable portion of the acreage
sown will probably be listed into corn.
Condition on the Pacific coast is very
high and if maintained will make a
record for the year in matter of yield.
The rains Of the last two days may
in some measure restore the plant

easily victorious. The vote was very
light throughout the state, not to ex-
coed half the vote of last fall being
polled. The Indications at a late hour
are that Moore Republican,, defeated
McGrath Oemocrat), the present in
cumbent, by $4,000. The Republican
candidates for regents are elected by
about similar pluralities. Reports from
the city and township elections thus
far show that the Republicans have
held their own for the most part.

the intelligent Cubans are anxious for

They are looking and longing for a

independence. If they are to be in
dependent after having cut loose from
Spain they will look to the United
States. Independence seems to be a
good way off. The people are overawed
by the Spanish soldiers, who are every
