Nebraska is omit- ted, the commissioner evidently not deeming the interests of that state of sufficient im- portance to support agents in it. Nebraska has been steadily and seemingly studiously left out of the reports issued monthly from the department of agriculture. From Iowa reports were received which elicited the fol- lowing general comments upon the conditions of the winter grains there: The avea of winter wheat is confined to a atrip (about two tiers) of counties wlong tho southern and eastern borders of the state. In conclusion the senator said what he di sired most of all was the selection of the strongest possible candidate, and an aggre sive, vigorous campaign. Under such cir- cumitances he would feel confident of the triumph of republican principles. Weekly Crop Bulletin. WaAsHINGTON, April 22,—The weekly weather crop bulletin says reports from the northern states indicate that the week has been un- usually cold, and farm work greatly retarded. Reports from the southern states show that the weather during the week has affect- ed all crops favorably. From the states south of the Missouri river, including IKansas, Nebraska and south- with the bright weather, attracted to Char- lottenburg from breakfast time until the evening bullotin was posted, dense crowds of people and long lines of every class of vehi- cles, from gorgeous chariots to the humbles! cart. The bulletins wore less vague and the people were semi-officially assured the em- peror did not now suffer the pains of a day ago. Inall the churches prayers were offered for his recovery, and in a few special prayers had been prepared. Many preachers made apt and tasteful allusions to the emperor’s condition.

A bulletin issued at 9 p. m. said that the emperor had passed a pretty good day, with less fever than on former days, but his tem- perature began to rise toward evening. BERLIN, April 22.—[Press.]—Pus is now discharging from the emperor’s throat and is thicker than formerly. This is probably a symptom that the abscess is beginning to heal. During the day the patieut had a re- freshing sleep. s EIAFIRAID OF THE OMNIDUS DILL. Democratic members of the house are not very sure about the propriety of passing Springer’s omnibus territorial bill, admitting lew Mexico, Washington, Montana and Da- Xota to statehood, and the prospects are that it will not receive consideration. They say ~that New Mexico would be a democratic state, but that the others would in all proba- bility be republican. Dakota is unquestion- ably re!mbllam, they hoid, and Washington was only declared democratic by Delegate Voorhees through personal popularity, which has waned so much that he refuses o be a pandidate for re-election. They declare fur- ther, that although Montana has been demo- cratic for years the majority has been grad- nally decreasing, and the recent immigration tato both Montana and Washington makes them very unreliably democratic, $ WHY PHELPS WON'T G 1T, 1 understand that the president has aban- # Qoned the idea of appointing Minister Phelps the supreme beneh, but he has done so very reluctantly. Last week a committee consisting of Congressman Collins, of Mass- achusetts, the two Campbells, Mahoney, Cummings, Cochrane and one or two others from New York, Foran of Ohio, and several other Trish-American members,” called upon him and formally protested against the ap- intment of a man who, during his sta ngland, had afiliated with the tory pa and had shown no sympathy for home rule or the welfare of Ircland, Tley told the presi- dent that the recognition' of Mr, Phelps, under such circumstances, would cost the democratic party a good m: votes, and they felt it their duty to inform "him of that bellef and to make a formal protest. The president persisted and argued, but these gentlemen were very firm. 1t is understood, also, thut the gentlemen who are supposed to haye taken charge of the president’s political training and are grooming him for the com- ing campaign have also made a protest and sny Mr. Phelps’ name has been seratehed off the list, and the appointing power at gea as it was when the late chie died. fires destroyed six or eight plantations. This there were two or three more, in- uding one in the city of Sagua, in which fifty houses were burned down. The people now living in Cuba ave terrified, not know- ing at what moment they may be murdered in cold blood by bandits or government troons, who make many mistakes and many innocent people are killed by their stupidity. ————— A DELUD| MOTHER. Her Faith Care Fails and Her Daugh- ter Dies in Agony. Mepronp, Mass., April 22.—[Special Tele- gram to the Ber.]—Two “christian scien- tists,” a Mrs. Conner and o male com- panion, are under arrest here for causing the death of Mrs. Lotta A. James, a daughter of Mrs. Conuer. Mrs, James has been married less than a year, and on Thursday night, during the absence of her husband, a travel- ing man, she gave birth to a child. She asked for a physiclan, but ler mother' who saw @ chance to experiment with her bousted power, called in_a disciple and went to work praying over the un- fortunate mother, who begged them in God's name to get a doctor or kil her, and release her from her agony. Al that night the two cranks prayed over the . moaning sufferer. At daylight both mother and child died. When the husband returned he was heart- brgken, and at once had warraats issued for the “scientists” who permitted such suffer- ing. They take the matter coolly, vowing it must have been God’s will for her to die. The dead woman's face is distorted with agony. I;Alh\bil 3'S INDUSTRIES.

This outfit; by their disreputable practices, have brought. reproach to prohibition and done more harm to the republican party than can be readily estimated. ‘The sentiment of the community is very strongly against them and even strong temperance people repudi- ate the practices of this gang. The cause of prohibition has had to suffer the reproach of their venal and disreputable conduct and it looks now as 1f the courts would spare the community any further aunoyance on their account. The indications for the success of the re- publican club convention, which is to meet here May 24, grow brighter every day. it is to be the first convention of the kind in Iowa, and much_interest is being developed. .A large number of clubs are being organized and new ones are being formed every day. It is hoped that by the time the convention meets there will be 500 clubs in the state. Hon. Edward O. Wolcott, of Denver, has accepted an invitation to be present and ad- dress the convention. This insures a feast of oratory of the highest and most inspiring kind. Great interest is being taken in the event, and preparations are being made here to give the convention a splendid reception. Mr. J. P. Dolliver, of Fort Dodge, always 4 favorite orator in Iowa, has consented to speak and thus adds another brilliant name to the convention orators, It is thought now that there will be special trains run on some of the roads into Des Moines, and as low rates have been secured on all roads the at- tendence will be very large. There has recently been organized in this city a branch of the British American asso- ciation. It attracted little attention at the start, and there is considerable mystery about its plans and purposes. It is under- stood to be composed of natives of Great Britain, who are now citizens of the United States, and it is stated that its object is to work against foreign interference in Ameri- can politics and in a measure to offset and antagonize the prominence of any forei clement. It claims to be also in favor of keeping the public schools free from se tarian or forcign control. It 1s thought t the real purpose of the organization is to set as far as possible the influence of Iri men in American affuirs, whenever that in- fluence is likely to be arrayed against Great Britain and in favor of home rule in Ireland. Similar associations are being started in all the large cities, and Englishmen who are not izens are being urged to become natural- 0 that their votes may be used when- eded. There is & good deal of interest being ta in_the subjéct’ of rapid transit in this city. Séveral publi¢ meetings have been held, in which some very plain talk was indulged against the present strect car facilities. ‘Aithough Des Moines has ostensibly two competing lines, the competition practically amounts to nothing, as both seem to have agreed to keep the old unaccommodating ways which consult first thewr own conven- jence and last of all the pleasure of the pub- lie. This city is so much spread out and covers so much territory that me form of rapid transit is absolutely necessary if the people are to do business in town. The p ent street car lines do not afford such facili- ties. Men cannot afford to spend an heur or two 1n gomg from their homes to their places of business, in addition to long waits for cars, arday being a state one Stat- about to kill him is searching for ninety.

GOSCHEN MUST EATHUMBLE PIE, Parnell Will Introduce a Menasure for An Extension of Local Government In Ircland—The Temperance Question a Sticker. A Quiet Week in Parliament. [Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.) LoxvoN, April 22.<[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bee.)—Life in the house of commons has lately been highly re- spectable and very dull. The Irish members are thinning off gradually, as one after an- other is sent to goal. Is this process to go on without a word being said? Balfour sits smiling at hs adversaries and they look back at him puzzled and confused. Parnell has not been inside the house for a week past, though he has been in the library of the smoking room every day. O'Brien and Dil- lon are in Ireland and Tim Healy has gone to defend them. The change, as compared with the last two sessions, is enormous. This week there will certainly be a new turn 1 affairs, Mr. Gladstone will fiove an amendment to Goschen’s financial proposals and thus give his party a chance of rallying their forces for a big division, but I see no chance of Glad- stone enticing any of the conservatives to the support of his fiscal policy. The ministerial majority is bound together,not by any special merit of the ministry itself, but by the istakes of its opponents, Smith’s genius and Balfour's heroism do far less to keep this government in power than the terror of Gladstone and home rule, Goschen will not be beaten next week, but he will be obliged to eat some humble pie before his budget finally passes, The tax on wheels is most unpopular, aud if the government forces it on the country it will lose many a vote for the tory party. The ministry takes it for granted that because its majority in the house 1s docile there is no discontent out of doors. In reality the people are grumbling much at what they call the now budget, if it is not greatly modified it will deal & severer blow at the tory party thau ever Goschen managed to give it when he was its avowed enemy. All this will be seen when the new taxes begin to make the people writhe. Other projects are on foot. Parnell will bring forward a bill providing for a consider- able extension of local government in Ire- land. The ministry will oppose it. Under ordinary circumstances most of the liberal unionists, including Chamberlain, would feel bound to vote for reform in Ireland, bat here again the hostility to Gladstone turns the scale. Chamberlain will never again row in the same boat as the “old man,” He has laid out his own plans for the future and means to abide by them, Now the spectre of suspicion is ever before the country. Some of the nationalists per- suade themselves that the people are getting reconciled to it. They are mistaken. Dread of a Parnellite parliament next door to Eng- land, and controlled largely from abroad, ex- ercises as much power as ever over the nation, There are many Irishmen, some na- tionalists, who begin to think that the pro- gress of the Irish cause has been indefinitely retarded by the grand scheme which prom- ised so well for a short time two years ago. The third shot to be fired at the govern- ment comes from the temperance party. They are in arms over Ritchie's licensing clause. Petitions: pour in upon members; letters follow them everywhere, calling upon them to vote against Ritchie. If they yield, the drink interest will be against them, If they stand out, every temperance man will set off in pursuit of their scalps. Bither way soine scats will inevitably be lost for the to- s at the next general election. This drink question is always a source of danger to cither party which touches 1t. No wonder the poor tories dread it now, and gnash their teeth when (hey consider how easily this bill of Ritelne's, with ail its hidden dangers, might have been postponed o a more convens icnt scason, ,The incubus of the debate on its second reading is now removed from the house and the critics of the government can et to closer quarters with it. Harcourt showed on Friday that he is pre- pared for a good rousing attack, und it must, be admitted that his sallies ut Chamberlain's expense gratificd as well as umused the house. Chamberlain has been stalking along of late with his head very much in the clouds, the attentions which he received in America having apparently been a little too much for him. He now treats the house as a collection of beings low down in the scale of creation. When Harcourt fell foul of him there was great checring among the liberals, and subducd applause and enjoy= ment even among the ministerialists, It does not do for any man to put on too much airs i the house of commons, Joseph's rise has been very rapid, especially since he became a unionist, He isadiplomatist. He believes himself superior to Richelieu and Tallyrand combined, while Gladstone is nowhere com- pared with him as an orator. He may be right in this estimate of his powers, but we are not prepared to have it rammed down our throats too violently, At present everybody admits Chamberlain’s clever but beyond his dexterity in helping to dish Gladstone he bas shown no particular fore- sight, to say nothing of statesmanship, Har- court has seldom carried the house with him more thoroughly thun he did yesterday in taking Joseph down a peg or two. Person- alities in debate are always to be deprecated on general grounds, but if ever an exception can be tolerated it is after an interminable series of leaden specches such as we have heurd on this local government bill. Har- court is the best fighting man on the liberal side, and Goschen's attempts to reply to him were lumbering and ineflective. Tho slug- gish pool has now been effcctively stirred and the rest of the session is likely to afford plenty of interest, even for the general reader. A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT.
