Time Honored Bills.
The time-honored bills designed to
require telegraph and express com.
panies to exchange business and to es-
tablish uniform rates which these com
panies shall charge have again made
their appearance. Their introducers
hope to be able 10 scrape the moss OH
these measures and inject into them
sufficient ginger TO enable them to
skate through the two houses and be.
come laws. Instances are cited where
each of the classes of companies
named charge nearly twice as much
Tor sending n package or message
from points in the upper peninsula TO
Lansing as they do for sending like
package or message from Lansing to
the same points above the straits.
while interchange OF business is re
fused.
Another ancient measure which has
done Intellectual service so far as the
enactment of new laws is concerned
through many administrations which
has once more made its bow. seeks to
require sleeping car companies to pay
something like an adequate rate OF
taxation in Michigan. Under the pres.
ent system the state treasury is EN-,
riched from tins source by something
like $40 per annum. Senator Van Akin
of Monroe VIII endeavor to correct this
inequality this year, but he may no,
succeed
The past week has brought out two
more measures which contemplate the
creation of new state boards. One OF
these bills provide for the appoint.
ment by the governor OF board OF ex-
aminers of stationary engineers. The
board is to consist of a chief examiner
and two assistants who are to receiv.
salaries OF $500 and $1,000 respec
lively. The other bill provides for
the appointment of state architec,
and superintendent of public building
or construction. Thus far the legisla.
tors have not evinced any marked dis
position to Increase the number or
state boards.

weetiy Crop suIietin.

The weather has been cloudy,
with deficiency OF temperature
averaging from degrees in the
extreme eastern counties to 6 de-
grees day on the western slope.
Frequent aud beneficial showers
are reported; they have been es-
pecially opportune in the eastern
counties. Sunshine and warmth
are much needed in all districts.
Small grain is generally in good
condition. although continued cold
weather has retarded growth, aud
winter rye is beginning to head
low; less damage by cut worms is
reported. Corn and potato plant
ing is practically finished. except
late potatoes in the North central
section. Sugar beets are doing
well, although some damage by
cut worms continues in the north
ern district. Hail in the Arkansas
valley on the 26fh caused consider
able damage to beets, fruit, gardens

be necessary.
Western counties report rather
unfavorable conditions for fruit

peaches show improvement. Tree
fruits are in good condition and
spraying has begun; but small

fortunes in every possible manner MI
Settles life in Washington was most
cCngcnial to a man of his social tenn
perament and accomplishments, and
for a time he remained content with
his conditions, varying them by occa-
Si0nal participation inc the pollucal
campaigns of neighbOfing states, al
ways TO the increase of his reputation,
gained even then as a forceful log1cian
and a most graceful orator. But there
soon came an awakening. The sad
story of the races needs in the South,
the impOrtunate demand for men OF
strong character, of moral equipment,
and Of professional requirement to
90 down among them, to be a light
unto their feet and to show them by
power of example what they might ac-
complish awOke in him a responsive
chord and fOrsaking the society or
his Intellectual comrades and his So
cial friends in the North, he braVely
took up his share of the work among
the submerged of our people and cast
his fortunes with the race in the state
or Mississippi. in which state he began
the practice of law in 1875. His thor
ough knowledge of his, profession, his
mOdeSty, and the clean and pure life
he led among these people attracted al
most mediate attention from both the
white and the cOlOred people, and 1T is
safe TO say that no colOred man, es-
peclally from the North, ever enjoyed
larger degree of the respect and
confidence of his white fellow citizens

KING EDWARD AND THE POPE
Difficulties in the Way of Their Mee,-
 Ing.

Rome, April 5.-The chief topic of dis cussion at the vatican continues to be whether or not King Edward will see the pope. The ceremonial proposed, that the king should start from the British embassy, is much opposed, not because he would be starting from the residence of an ambassador accredited to the Quirinal, for the king once there, say the vatican authorities, it ceases to be an embassy to become the house of the sovereign, but because Cardinal Rampolla must return the royal visit to the pontiff and he would arrive at the house. when King Edward having left, it had become again an embassy accredited to the king of Italy. It is suggested that King Edward on leav- ing the vatican should return to the British embassy followed closely by Cardinal Rampolla, who would arrive while the king was still there. The ob- jection against this course is that it would create a precedent. The muncio at Lisbon has been charged to sound King Edward on the subject.

 Pekin, April 5.-The report received there that the action of the United States in increasing her Asiatic squad ron is on account of the alarming re- ports on the situation in China" excites surprise in Pekin. Such reports were not sent by the United States or Brit ish legations, which possess good fa- cilities for judging the situation in China. The only disturbances consid- cred serious are those in the Kwang- Si province (the southern province of China bordering Tonkin), where 100, ,OO0 rebels are said to be under arms which were never directed against foreigners The latest reports regarding General Tung Fun Slang, the Boxer leader, and Prince Tuan, the exiled anti-for- eigner, who are at the head of the in surgent forces in the northwestern province of Kansu, are reassuring. The government claims to have come to an understanding with them whereby they agree to refrain from hostilities. It is believed that the government is supply ing them with funds on condition that they remain quiet.

ELECTIONS IN OHIO TO-DAY.
Especially Imporsant~WiH Have Bear
 ing om Hanun's Reelection.

Cincinnati, April 5.-The local elec- tions throughout Ohio tomorrow will be especially important because of the new municipal code, enacted recently by the legislature, which reorganizes every municipality. There will be no officers holding over, and for this req son the party advantages secured will be greater than heretofore at April elections. With more at stake than before, the party organizations have been unusually active, and many charges of fraudulent registration have been made. Several hundred warrants were prepared in Cincinnati to-day for service tomorrow. It is charged that more than a thousand false registra- tions have been made in single ward. The present registration has broken all April records also in other cities. The mayors of all the larger places, like Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Tole- do, Dayton, Sandusly and Zanesville, are running for reelection, and Jones, of Toledo, for the fourth time. Ingalls in Cincinnati and Johnson in Cleveland are credited with being candidates this year for the democratic nomination for governor, as well as for the mayoralty of their respective cities and next year for the presidency.
 The election tomorrow also will be watched closely on account of it's bear ing on the candidacy of Myron T. Her. rick, of Cleveland, for the republican nomination for governor, and on the reelection of United States Senator Hanna. The legislature selected next November will elect Senator Hanna's successor, and the control of the mu- nicipalities is considered of importance in the coming state election. Senator Hanna, while taking special interest in the contest in his own city, has been as far south as Dayton to speak in this campaign While the result tomorrow is thus considered as indirectly consid- erirg the coming election of state off, cers and members of the legislature, it is also conceded that it will have a bearing at Cleveland on both the dem- ocratic and republican nominations for governor, and at Cincinnati it may de- velop the democratic opponent of Sen- ator Hanna, as well as affect the next democratic nomination for governor.

PRESIDENT IN SIOUX FALLS
SPENDS QUIET SUNDAYIN SOUTH
 DAKOTA CITY.
Committee Makes Mistake as to Which Church He Is a Member of and He At. tends Divine Services Morning and Evening ns a ResuIt-Pickpockst Caps tured fin Crowd Outside of Church.

Sioux Falls, s. D., April 5.-President Roosevelt is the guest of Sioux Falls and will remain so until 9:10 o'clock tomorrow morning. His special train arrived here about o'clock this morn- ing and he was met by a delegation headed by Mayor G. W. Burnside and State Senator A. H. Hites. Senator Kittridge also greeted him. The presi- dent was escorted to the Cataract house by detachments of the two local militia companies and enjoyed a day of comparative rest, the first he has had since his trip began.
 He attended church, both in the morning and evening, and in the after noon went for a horseback ride, accom- panied by Seth Bullock, superintendent of the Black Hills forest reservation. The fact that President Roosevelt at- tended divine services twice to-day was due to an error on the part of the local committee. The committee had the in- pression that the president was a mem Der of the German Lutheran church, and accordingly arranged to have him attend that church this morning. When it was learned later that the president WOTSulppeu dL Ine DuLcH INeIOFHleu church, arrangements were made to have service in the evening at the Livingstone Reformed church here. While it is not the custom of the pres ident to attend services on Sunday evening, he made an exception to-day when the facts were made known to him. The services this morning were conducted by Rev. Herman Seit, presi- dent of the Gerinan-Englsh college at Wilton, Ia., who came here for that purpose. The German language was used throughout. Owing to the fact that both in Milwaukee and Minneapo- lis the length of the programme did not permit the president to reach his car until after midnight, he has been obliged to announce that hereafter he will not begin speaking later than 8:30 in the evening and always will be back in his car by 10 o'clock. He will adhere strictly to this rule.
 A pickpoclzet tried to work his game in the crowd gathered in front of the Lutheran church this morning. Just as the president was about to enter the edifice a man who gave the name of c. w. Earl took $23 from the pocket of a resident of this city. He was detected in the act, but before he could be seiz- ed he handed the money to a confeder- ate, who disappeared. Earl was ar rested.
