Attorney General Crane, however seems
TO think the law is plain enough and has
Instructed the sheriff of Dallas county to
see that it is enforced.
Ten dollars has been fixed upon as tho
price OF the cheapest seats The next come
at $50 and the boxes are $40. If the seats
should all be sold the gross receipts shoula
amount to nearly $500, 900. This is n trif,e
more than Nine. Patti ever realized from
single concert. Stuart is not n dreamer
however. He'll be satisfied if 5000 sports
buy tickets
The principals in the proposed battle
are seemingly confident they will be per-
mitted to meet in the great Dallas arena
and are both doing light training. Cor

Only light local showers have prevailed
in Rhode Island this week, and with the
good weather most of the hay crop ha.
been secured. The prospect for a second
crop is very good. Crops are generally
progressing very well. Spring seeding
looks well, except on very dry ground

Critical Point Passed.

Most crops We're in need of rain in Con
nectieut before the 9th, but although
coming in only small quantities in south
eastern sections, the showers have done a
great deal of good, and will serve to helm
corn over the critical period in its growth.
This crop lbs IA geca stand, and with
showers to I'LL the ears will bea large
crop. Potatoes are rusting slightly in
many fields. The early crop is being dug
for market and the tubers are reported of
fair size in Hartford county, but of small
size and few in the hills in parts of Litch
field county. In Fairfield county an un-
usually good yield is being dug, willie in
New London the early crop is light. Oats
that were not cut for fodder are ripcninp
and many pieces are ready to cut: they
promise good yield. Peaches. pears and
grapes will hc a good crop. The crop con-
dltlons for tobacco are very favorable. A
large crop of chcstnuts is in prospect.

FRENCH IN AFRICA.
Montiel, the French Explorer, Re-
ported as Ambushed and
Defeated.

PARIS, Feb. 22.-It is reported
that the French expedition under
command of COmmandant MOntiel,
in the interior of Africa, was sur
prised and three hundred men,
half OF the force, are said to have
been killed, while the remainder
was driven from the line of march
and the retreat cut off. Monteil's
expedition was intended to join
Captain Decase, who is guarding
Ubolgfui. The mission was intend
ed to ASSERT Frances right to the
possession OF the Hinterland
country extending through Bar Ell
Ghasel to the left bank Of the
Nile. This is part Of Al
RIGA which the treaty between
Great Britain and Belgium nomi.
nally turned over to the former.
The treaty, however, was virtually
abandoned, owing to French pro-
tests; France denying the right Of
the Belgo-C ongolese government
to cede the territory to England.
1t was also intended that Captain
Monteips force would be backed up
by 2 gun boats, 2 launches and
lighters. Captain Monteil was we'll
known for his remarkable voyage,
lasting two years, in the course Of
which he traversed Africa from
the west to the north, from st.
Louis to Tripoli, the result Of which
was to lay the foundation Of the
French influence where no French
man had set foot before.

to Suit John Bull
LONDON, Feb. 22.-The Pail Mall
Gazette, commenting upon the re-
ply OF the New Orleans Cotton Ex-
change to the protest against the
manner in which cotton was press
ed, sent by London underwriters
through United States Am
bassador Bayard, says most Of the
cotton pressing in America is a
disgrace. This is the best that can
be said oft. The condition Of the
New Orleans bales is some times
less disgraceful than those from
the interior. Efforts have been
made for many years to induce a
better state Of things, but they
came to nothing. Stewart, presi-
dent of the Cotton Exchange, be.
lieves the insurance companies
should discriminate in favor of
New Orleans, but, says the Ga
zette, they would do better to insist
that all American cotton be as well
pressed and covered as the Indian
and Egyptian staple.
