Here is a Michigan dispatch which
contains matters Of interest to those
Delaware legislators who are looking
for war between this country and
Spain, and who are steering the legis-
lation necessary to enable the state to
take part in the contest; "A bill has
been prepared to protect Michigan citi-
zens who may be called upon to serve
their country in case OF war with
Spain. 1t provides that the property
of such citizens shall be exempt from
levy Of any nature for debts contract
ed before leaving the state. This ex-
emption is to continue for six months
after the close of the war. The bill
also provides that no advantage shall
be taken OF any such citizen who may
be party to a suit at law alieady be-
gun during his absence from the state.
The Senate may amend the war loan
bill passed by the House Saturday by
exempting the bonds to be issued from
taxation" ETlE

KNOWN SNELLENBURG & co.
On and since Trades Day crowds
are about the immense show windows
Of the firm of n. Snellenburg & Co
The attraction is a display OF the
productions Of the various manufac-
turing concerns of the city. 1t was
first gotten up for the benefit Of the
Peninsula buyers, but has attracted
such widespread attention that il has
been allowed to remain.
In the window on Seventh street are
Photographic reproductions of the pa
per-making machinery made by the
Pusey and Jones Company. "a fur

black and colors, and with this are
several styles of shoes manufactured

from the above firms leather. Ar
ranged on fixtures just above are col
cred underwear, and sprinkled here
and there children's Spring suits and
shirt waists. AS a centre piece Will
liam J.. Hogan displayed a circle of

An interesting exhibit is that of the
triangle-shaped display of iron pipes,
ETC., the manufacture of the Will

this is only a medium-sized one.

/ are the largest manufacturers, Of pow
der in the world, and are now running
their mills night and day on orders

The display Of the Snellenburg Com
pany itself is a splendid one 1t in
cludes a large line of Spring neck
wear, in the latest and handsomest de-
signs, suitings. hats, Overcoats and
trouserings. The company has an eX-
! tensive line of children's suits and
shirt waists, and the famous Delaware
shirt, the trade mark of which is the
"Blue Hens Chicken" All in all, th'
exhibit is as novel and artistlc as hai
ever been seen in this city.

THH CEREAL REPORT.

The secretary OF agriculture has is
sued a comparative report on the con-
dition of wheat and rye. which is most
interesting to those who realize the i'm
portance of the cereal products of the
country. 1t makes the average condi-
tion of Winter wheat Sc, against S1.4
last April and III on April /, 1896.
The leading Winter wheat states report
averages as follows: Pennsylvania, 80;
Ohio, so; Michigan, 90; Indiana, 81;
Illinois, rs; Missouri, 81; Kansas, 1O1;
California, 62.
The average condition Of Winter rye
is 92.1, against SS9 on April 1, 1897,
and $3.50 on the corresponding date in
1896. There are few sections of coun-
try from which a very satisfactory
report as to the condition Of Winter
grain has not been received, the Win
ter over a large part OF the country
having been mild and dry. The lowest
averages from important Winter wheat
states are those Of Illinois and Califor-
mia, 75 and 62 respectively.
The mortality Of farm animals, both
from exposure and other causes, has
been below that OF the preceding Win
ter; OF horses. 2 per cent. are reportd
as hGt ing disd from disease, as against
81 per cent the previous year; Of cat
tile, mortality Of 1.S per cent. from
Winter exposure and OF 33 per cent
from all causes is reported, as against
1.6 per cent. from exposure and S.E
per cent. from all causes the preceding
Winter Of sheep the deaths from ex,
posure amounted to 2.7 per cent.
against 5.5 per cent the previous
year.
While hog cholera has been more o.
less destructive, the total losses o
swine have amounted to only 9.S pc
cent, against 144 per cent. the preced
ing year. With regard to farm ami
mails in general, the department cor
respondents report them in good con
dition, as the result Of the generall
mild and dry Winter and the abun
dance OF food. In California the Win
ter has been a severe one. and its el
feet is shown just as markedly in th
mortality of farm animals as in tn
poor condition OF Wister wheat.

COUNTY LINES TIGHTLY DRAWN.
FIGHT OVER THE BILL FOR
EQUAL REPRESENTATION IN
KENT AND SUSSEX.

Dover, April 1S.-County lines were
drawn tightly in the General Assem-
bly, for the first time yesterday. The
matter under consideration was the bill
to amend the new Constitution, 50 as
to give Kent and Sussex counties equal
representation in the Legislature, with
New Castle county. 1t will take four
teen votes and the concurrence of the
next General Assembly to pass the
amendment, and ID was brought up
yesterday when some of the New Cas-
tie county members were absent.
II was generally expected that all OF
the Kent and Sussex county men
would stand together on the matter.
Representative Johnson, of Sussex
county, led the fight for the bill, and
Representative Dempsey, of New Cas-
tie county. against the bill
Representative Thompson, of Sussex
county, went out while the discussion
was going on, and Representative Will
son, of Kent, refused to vote for the
bill at this time. In order to save it
from defeat its friends moved to rec
ommend it for amendment, and the
motion was carried.
Representative Whitney introduced
a new registration bill, which is the
third one now before the Legislature
The bill is similar to the others, but
provides that the governor shall APP
point all of the registration officers.
A bill to allow peddlers to take Oui

REVENUE nor WLAR PURPOsEs.

'
In anticipation Of war the Republi-
can members Of the Ways and Means
Committee Of Congress are looking
over the field to see what they can
tax to raise the money necessary to
carry it on. II is even stated that they
have agreed upon a plan which, it is
hoped, will raise more than 100000,
900 additional revenue annually. The
details Of the scheme are as follows:
An additional tax on beer of 81 per
barrel, estimated to yield s35 600 ,O0O;
a bank stamp tax on the lines OF the
law OF 1866, estimated to yield $780,,
1000; a duty of cents per pound on
coffee and 10 cents per pound on tea,
and like amount OF internal tax ON
stocks OF coffee and tea on hand in
the United States, estimated to yield
s2S 100000 additional tax on tobacco
expected to yield s15,OOOOOO
The committee also agreed to author
ize the issuing of s5O0,OOO,00O bonds
These bonds are to be offered for sale
at all post offices in the United States
in amounts OF $50 each, making a great
popular loan to be absorbed by the peo-
pie
To tide over emergencies the secre-
taTy OF the Treasury will be authorized
to issue certificates. These certificates
or debentures are to be used to pay
running EXPENSES when the revenue do
not meet the expenditures.
Is this more Republican bluff, or
do they mean IL?
