was that this should be done away
with and a more useful system suns1l-
tuted. .,
This aroused the Michigan delegates

remarks with a vigorous defense OF the
system of their institution
The paper of Professor A q true,
of the Washington experiment station

THE WEST.

Is 1Iuch Pleased with the COun-
try Through Which He Passed.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Secretary
Lamont said today that he did not
talk politics and did not see any poll
ticians during his western tour.
Il was not hunting ghosts, SAID me-
although I am told some were about.
MY trip was purely business one,
and 1 had neither inclination nor op-
portunity to NEEDLE in politics. About
the only people L saw were the mill
tary and railroad people.
You observed the condition OF the
country through which you passed."
Yes; enough to see that ii appeared
prosperous and promising. Inc rall-
way men whom I met told me that the
outlook was very favorable for great
prosperity. They are about the only
ones I had an opportunity to talk With
on the subject and l presume they are
about the best judges L could see the
country was as green as our eastern
lands, and the railroad people told me
the crops were in an unusually good
condition and gave promise OF the
best results they have had in that
country for some time. 1t was said
the whole country was experiencing a
renewal of prosperity and that the
people were contented and satisfied
with the outlook All the crops are
in the best possible condition and the
reports from the various sections Of
the country indicate great product
for the year The railroads are all pre-
pairing for an immense amount of bust
ness. The president of one of the
roads told me that they were getting
ready to haul e, 00Q, 600 bushels OF
wheat on his road. All this. they said
indicated general prosperity and con-
tentment among the western people"

was sentenced by Judge Smith, of Los
Angeles.
The prisoner is % years Of age and

of Pasadena for disturbing a religious
meeting. The prosecution failed and
Howard, the man arrested, secured
his accuser's conviction for perjury.
Rowland mas an appeal pending in the
supreme court.

brought some interesting facts. 1t de-
veloped that the alleged reverend gem

at Briggs Corner, Mass; that if he
had been ordained a Baptist preacher
in Rhode Island the ceremony must
have taken place in the presence of
the sheriff and chief Of police. al
though he Indignantly denied being
under arrest at the time OF his alleged
ordination.
Rowland went by the name Of

while posed under the name OF Ed

M'CONNELL'S VIEWS.
HE SPEAKS OF THE POLICY OF
THE SILVER MEN.
Dor,s Cnre Who the Nominee for
President Is, So Long as He
stands on the Platform of His
Party.

PORTLAND, Ore, July T.-Gover-
nor w. J. Mcconnell. of Idaho, was IN
the city en- route to Yaquina bay.
Speaking about the policy of the sill
yer men, he said:
"The friends OF silver will not force
the financial issue in the National Re-
publican convention next year. further
than to secure a declaration in the
platform that the nominee of the party,
if elected president, shall sign any
measure passing Congress that not
only affects the financial system of the
country, but also the pensions of SOL
diers of the rebellion, the building of
the Nicaragua canal the annexation
of the Hawaiian islands and other is
sues of paramount interest to the
country. The individual who heads the
ticket is of little consequence to me.
as long, of course, as he is a sound
protectionist I don't care what his
views on the financial question are.
as long as he stands on the platform
of his party and that platform con-
tains the declaration we propose.

Under date Of June II 1885. Governor
Richards wrote to the secretary Of the
interior in regard to the killing of game
by the Shoshone and Bannock Indians.
He says the same trouble occurs every
year. The Indians secure passes from
the reservation agents to go to distant
points for various purposes, and then
spend the time hunting.
The governC- says the county or state
should not have the trouble and expense
of teaching The Indians to obey the game
laws. He asks that they be strictly con-
fined TO their reservations. It IS unof-
hcially stated at the Indian office that
the real trouble IL Wyoming is that the
Indians are better hunters than the
whites III the region, and that the Jeal-

FRUIT CROP.
RETURNS SHOW A MATERIAL DE-
CLINE IN CONDITION.
Frost Has Done Much Damage to
Cranes, Especially in the Noun
tain Belt and Central West.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE fruit
crop report of the agricultural depart
ment for July shows a material de-
cline in the condition. The report IS
summarized as follows:
The condition of apples has been
materially lowered since the report OF
June. Losses have been especially
marked in important states having al
ready low conditions, viz: The New
England states, New York, Pennsyl-
vania. Michigan, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa. In the Piedmont region the out
look is decidedly more favorable. In
Missouri and contiguous states the de-
cline has been light, not above per
cent in any case, but the conditions are
not quite as high as in the Piedmont
orchards. On the Pacific coast cOndi-
tions fell about II per cent, but the
prospects there are still good. frost at
time of bloom, droughts and heavy
groupings are the main causes OF the
impaired prospects.
The peach crop returns are also I'M
favorable. Georgia and Connecticut
alone of the leading commercial STATES
have now a high percentage, the Tor
mer having moved up to los, gain OF
1 point, the latter declining TO 80 rom rom
"a: New Jersey has lost II points and
now stands at rs; Delaware IS, stand
ing at 70; Maryland has advanced from
a. to Sc. The condition of Virginia, 80,
is lower than in June by Is points.
Michigan has prospects of less than
half a crop, while Ohio is %, lowest of
all. In California the condition figure
declined from IS on June /, to 70 on
July 1.
Frrosts have done much damage to
grapes. especially in the mountain belt
and central west.

POOR TIMBER.
Caused :, Cave in the Pewabic Mine
Near Iron Mountain.

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich, July H.
Poor timbering caused a cave in on
the first level of the Pewabic mine this
afternoon. Nine men were imprisoned
under forty feet of broken rock, ore
and timber. The fall of rock came just
as the men were quitting work, and it
is feared that some of the missing
ones were caught and crushed to death.
a big rescue crew is at work but it
will be ten hours before the men can
be reached. It is known that some of
the entombed men are alive, as COM
munication with them has been estab-
lished with them by hammering on the
pipe which supplies the level with air.
The mine officials are confident that
the men will be found uninjured. Five
Of the men are Italians, two Cornish
men and two Scandinavians. Stephen
Bowen, Fred Webb and John Johnson
are the only names known.
