STATE OF MANHATTAN.

Greater New York Would Be Common
wealth Of Itself.
ALBANY, n. Y, March 3O.-The pro-
posal to establish the state of Manhat-
tan, including within it's boundaries
the territory now included in the
greater city Of New York, is before the
Legislature. Assemblyman Trainer
last week introduced two bills with
that end in view. The bills are the
sequence of threats made by Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike who have
repr esented for the last 10 years the
city of New York that unless the city
was relieved from paying rs per cent of
the entire taxation of the state it
would ask to be separated from this
state and made an individual body.
Since Mr. Trainer introduced the bills
and since the laugh went around at
their introduction there has been de.
cided change of sentiment and there
will be a very serious hearing on
Thursday next when the assembly will
listen to notable persons, advocates. Of
the measure.

LANDED BY THE LAURADA

The Famous Little Filibuster Carried the
RoIoR Expedition.
PHILADELPHIA, March 30.-The ia
nous filibustering steamer Laurada
arrived in the Delaware during the
night, after having successfully landed
the most important expedition yet
sent from this country to Cuba. It
was shortly after dusk when she
slipped past the United States cutter
Hamilton, and Immediately. disap.
peared. in the darkness up the bay.
The Laurada left Baltimore on Feb.
II for this city, and when near Cape
Henry four boats were taken on board,
to be used in landing the war material.
Three days afterwards she met the
schooner Donna T. Briggs, of Stoning-
ton, Conn.,, and the steam lighter Jen-
ME H., from New York, loaded with
war material, which was transferred
to the Laurada's hold 10 miles off
Barnegat. The vessels Prov was then
turned toward the West Indies.
Fitted Out by the Junta.
The entire expedition was fitted out
by the Cuban junta for General Gar
cha, the second in command in the Gu
ban army, and was landed in the prov
ince of Santiago de Cuba, where a
large force had been sent to meet and
convey the supplies to the headquar-
ters of the army in the interior.
The Laurada's supply of coal ran
short, and she was obliged to anchor in
the West Indies while waiting for a
fresh supply, which was sent to her Oh
the brig Monarch from Mobile. Upon
receiving the coal she at once started
for this city. Among those on board
are Mrs. Hughes, the wife of the com
mander of the vessel, and two detec'
tives, who are believed to have kept q
daily log of the vessels movements
They are thought to have gone in the
guise of firemen.

WORLDS WHEAT CROP.
Production of 90 the Smallest in Six


Production of 90 the Smallest in Six
Years.
CHICAGO, March 30.-The Times
Herald Washington special says: The
worlds wheat crop for 1896 is 2,24S..
1913, 900 bushels. Although the total
wheat crop is 11S,0O0,O0O bushels less
than in 1895, it is larger than earlier
estimates Indicated This is largely
due to an increase of 59,OOO,O 900 bushels
in European Russia, as shown in the
final estimate of the central statistical
bureau over the November estimate of
the minister of agriculture of that
country. The crop for 1896 is the
smallest for six years.

Debate Will Soon Close on the DinGfsy
Bill i'm the House.
WASHINGTON, March 80. The end Of
tao struggle over the Dingley tariff bill
in the house is near at hand. The bill
will be open for amendment until |
o'clock on Wednesday, when the de-
bate will close with q tive hours dis
play Of oratory. The voting will begin
at o'clock on that day. SO far as
known there will be no break in the
Republican ranks, but at Least four ct
the Democrats will brave the party
whip and cast their. votes for the bill,
three from Louisiana and one from
Texas. There is also q probability that
one Populist and one silverite will vote
for this protective measure. Mr. Ding
ley, who has engineered the bill
through the eddies of debate with
great skill, will devote his energies to
pressing the consideration Of the bill
forward with the utmost expedition in
order to complete it before the vote is
taken. The policy of the Democrats
thus far has been to attack every item
and make it the text for general as
saults on the bill.

Neal Reason Tor Activity In British array
Circles Divulged.
LONDON, March 80. In spite Of the,
attention given. to Crete as likely,
point from which to expect the crisis.
which will bring about an outbreak Of
hostilities on the frontiers Of Greece, in.
the inner official circles of London, it is
seriously anticipated that there. will be,
fighting in the Transvaal early in the,
summer. There has been certain,
marked stiffening Of the attitude Of
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain. secretary Of
state for the colonies, towards Presi-.
dent Kruger during the, last few weeks
and it is equally certain that the, prep
arations Of regiments, transports and
material, apparently made in. view Of q
possible Turko- Greek blaze, are really.
designed for South Africa. However.
it is the intention Of the, colonial Office
not to force an. issue until the celebra-
ton of the queens diamond jubilee is
over, when, if the tendency Of events
is not changed, $4,000 men will be sent
to South Africa.
The regiments necessary already have
been secretly warned to prepare for
active service. President Kruger appar-
emily is relying upon German and pos
sibly upon French sympathy, and is
forcing the issue. IF he is able to make
practical alliances on the continent,
such action would, by. the English peo-
pie, if not by the government. be re-
garded as casus belli.

Commissioner Webb McNall announces
that under the 1889 Burton antitrust
law of Kansas, he will expel all old
line insurance companies from the state
or compel them to leave the secret pool,
which he claims they maintain by
being subscribers to Harrison Clark
sons rate book. He claims that he has
other evidences of secret pool of rates
in the frequent summary removal of
agents for cutting of rates below those
of other companies. The Kansas stat
utes empower him to refuse the licenses
if they do not comply with statutes,
and this will be his weapon.

No Freedom with Poverty.

The nan who is i'll danger of want,
or even the dread Of want, is not a
free man; and the country which does
not guard him against this danger and
this dread, or does not assure him tn.
means of a livelihood, is not a fres
country, though it may be the freest
of all the freer countries. In othe,
words, liberty and poverty are incom,
patible, and, if the poverty is extreme
liberty is impossible to it. We pretend
otherwise, such of us as are not SC
directly oppressed by the conditions
but those who feel the burden know
better. From time to time they ex.
press their dissent in their uncomfort,
able way, but tacitly or explicitly, theJ
always dissent from u optimistic pre-

Numerous Nominations.
The Hessians are going to save the

that they would do it. Carl Schurz
told us all about the details last week
in Harper's Weekly, but as a suspicion
had gotten abroad that Carl's proph-
ecy was of the same brand as that
used at the weather bureau, there were
still some doubters. Events, however,
have borne out the main features OF the
prophecy, but as to the minor details
Of the methods, there remains some
uncertainty. For instance, Carl SchurZ
says that next fall the original Hes

Congress in every district in the coun-
try. The question naturally arises as
to the method to be pursued in that
large number of districts in which

The Violet.

Many medicinal virtues have been
ascribed to the violet. For instances:
Pliny mentions that a garland Of these
flowers worn round the head prevents
headache or dizziness. The leaves of
violets are frequently applied to
bruises. The flowers. TOO. were
highly esteemed as a remedy, for
weak lungs. SO much so that a con
relved 'violet sugar or violet
paste" was sold in the time of the
second Charles by the a~pothecaries to
their consumplve patients.
