Parson Davies Pins His Faith to the Baltimore Boy. Cricaco, Juno 3).—[Special Tologram to Tie Bee.]—Talking to-night about the com- ing great fight near Now Or ns, Parson Davies, tho well known sporting managor, says that while groat interest is taken in the event hera, but little botting 1s being done as yet. The parson is inclined to pin his faith w Kilrais, baving lost confidenca in Sullivan in the past. He thinks vositively that if tho Baltimore boy can stand five rounds in front of John L. that the latter's gooss is cooked. The parson saysho takos with a gram of allow- ance the favorablo reports coming in from Sullivan’s training grounds,-and that nothing can make him believo Sullivan's logs are as ood as they used to be, or that ho 1s nearly as quick on his feot. Davios also thinks Kil- rain will bo in_the primest of prime condi and that he will goginto the ring weighing ten or twelve pounds less than the sluzger from Boston. ‘The parson is supported in his opinion by a num of Chicago sports, A large delegation, including four aldarmen, will leave the city for Now Orleans next Thursdny night.

Discouraging Reports Continue Con- cerning Their Bad Condition. Avg, Dak, June 30.—(Special Telegram to Tue Bee.|—The rain last night was too slight to save the crops in North Dakota, There has not been enough rain here to thoroughly lay the dust since the 4th of May, and whole fields of wheat are so seriously injured that they will never becut, Insome places the grain is burned as brown as a deciduous forest in September. Discour- aging reports are coming in from every county along the Red river to the Manitoba border. In no locality will there be more than one-third of a crop. Major Howden, of the Park Red River Land company, says his company has in 6,600 acres of wheat, over half of which will neverb e touched by the reaper, and that the rest would not average over seven bushels w the acre. General Todd, of the Elgin tarm of 3,500 acres, says his damage is already at least 70 per ceut. W. L. Joues, who has 1,000 acres i wheat, says he will not harvest more than enough for next year's seed, and if the drouth lasts ten days longer the crop will be ruined. Dakota’s Coming Convention. Bisyanck, Dak., June 80.—[S| gram to Tue Bee]—Delogates the constitutional convention, which will convene in this city on July 4, are arriving. The early arrivals are mostly candidates for the chairmanship of the convention. As this convention will frame a constitution for tho new state, c: didates for the honor of presiding are numer- ous.

Kenoyon, one of the enter- prising citizons of Holyoke, is completing ar- rangements to put in an electrie light plant at this place. Ground was broken for the foundation of a $10,000 public school building and a site selected upon which to erect an §S,000 Baptist church. Both buildings are to be built of brick. Holyoke is a now town on the Bur- lington system and is fast springing into _prominence. It is filled up with enterprising men who are earnestly working to make 1v the best town in eastern Colorado, Her peo- ple have proudly given' it the n of the “Queen City of the West,” and ch day deveiopes some new phase indicating future prosperity and greatness they realize that they have not wmisnwned the city in the Prenchman valloy.

Increasing Activity in the Mines of the Black Hills. THE HARNEY PEAK TIN COMPANY. Rapidly Developing 1ts Claims at Etta and Other Points—Refrao- tory Ores Successfully Treated By Chlorination. The Black Hills Mines. AD Crry, Dak., June 20.—[Spocial to Tire Bee.]—~In every section of the Black Hills an increasing activity in mining matters is apparent. The Harney Peak Tin: company is steadily adding to tho several forces of workmen in its employ at different points, It is pursuing the most important operations at Hill City, but is also developing claims at Etta and other points.. The directors of the company, George Barring Gould, Prof. Vin- cent and James Wilson, have returned to New York, where more machinery will be ordered. he company now has three large hoists and a saw mill in course of ercction, and other machinery is en route to’ the mines. he run of ta in the company’s mill, as repaired and changed by Prof. Vincent, re- sulted in the extracting of 8 per cent of co siterite, and was a surpriso to eve one connected with the company, as 2 per cent tin had already = been extracted from the ore. The forty stamp mill of the Lookout company is stead- ily running to its fullest capacity. The re- sult of tho compuny’s operations is probabiy satisfactory, as the mill is shortly to be en- larged by the addition of sixty stamps. Tho grading for the addition to the building is al- ready finished and a portion of the macl mfl;{v has arrived. The superintendent, M. L Day, announces that the additional sixty stamps will be in operation by October 1. Thirty stamps of the sixty in the Uncle Sam mill are dropping and ten more will be re- leased next week. The clean-up for the last month amounted to £3,200, and during the month the mill sus- pended operations for ten days. Ores from the Iron Hill, Spanish R. and Elk Mountain companies’ properties will be ro- duced by the Soton smelter of the Iron Hill company. A number of Gelena mining companies are shipping ore to Omaha and Kansas City for treatment, and a pool is being organized among them for the purpose of purchasing the Davy smelter and reducing the ore from their properties at home. A test run of the Keystone chlorina- tion works at Garden City, just completed, shows that 05 per cent of the ore there treated can be saved by the process there used, which is an improvement on_the Platt- ner and almost identical with the Newberry- Vantin process, The Garden City district contains large bodies of ores which have heretofore deflod successful treatment, but the chlorination at present beiug employed appears to be the one desired. The Roch- ester company has a diamond drill in ope tion on 1ts property east of this city, and is thoroughly prospecting its principal claim, The drili is advancing at the rate of fifty feet o day, and 18 capable of drilling 600 feet in any direction and at any angle. It is at pres- cut drilling vertically from the bottom of the main shaft, and the cores obtainea will not be tested until a depth of 600 feet has been reached. Rancho K1 Monticello. Surenior, Neb,, June 30.—[Special to Tar Bege.]—Rancho el Monticello is one of the most beautiful and best appointed ranches in the state of Nebraska. The proprietor, A. C. McCorkle, of Superior, is one of the well known cattle kings of this state. Itis situ- ated about fifteen miles from Superior, on Beaver Creek, whose banks are lined with little forests of the glossy-leafed ash from which the ranch took the name. Nature never made a more beautiful spot for ranch- ing. Here are shade, water and nutritious grasses in abundance. All the appointments of the rancn are first-class. In fact as wo went swinging along the wide lane to the entrance of the premises it seemed like en- tering a well appointed stock yard in the city. The forcman is Mr. Eli McCorkle.

Rosario, imported by Cochran, of Chicago, weight 2,500 pounds, is one of the most perfect and remarkably fine animals in the United States. Romelius, from the celebrated herd of A. B. Matthews, of Kansas City, is a theee -old, and weighs abont two thousand pounds. These, togetber with 160 head of other thoroughbred polled cattle, make up the herd of fine bred stock. In addition to this, the ranch con- tains several hundred head of fine grade steers which are fattening for the market. Mr. McCorkle is also ming quite exten- sively. His crops as well as his stock are in advauce of almost ev hing else in their line. Columbus Growing. Covruvmnus, Neb., June 30.—[Special to Tne Bre.]—The improvements now in progress and those in contemplation for 1889, in Columbus, far exceed those of any previous year in its history.

The following reports of the condition of crops in Nebraska have been received from Tur Bee's special correspondents since the first returns were published. They justify the bright outlook presented at that time: WiLLow Srrixes, Neb., June 20.—In Garfleld county there are 84,000 acres in corn, in wheat 772, in oats 702; cultivated and not given in to the assessors 8,149, This is the number of acres *proved up on” and sub- ject to taxation.

BEeeMER, Neb., June 20.—Wheat on new ground in Cuming uouule’ looks well and will be a big crop, but on old ground wheat and oats are light. Corn at this time of the year has never looked bettor, and from the present, outlook corn will be an immense crop. The increase on acreage is almost two-thirds. In this township alone over two thousand acres are being broken and a Iarge portion of it is being put in flax. The apple crop looks better than it has for years. Vegetables of all kinds look well, NowroLi, Nob., June 20,—Cultivated acre- age in Madison county has in ed from 10 to 15 per cent, Small grains have been some- what scorched.

RENNAISANCE OF COMMONSENSE The Results in Pennsylvania and Rhode fsland Attest tho Disap- pointment of the People in Sumptuary Logislation. From a Practical Standpoint. New York Commercial-Advertiser: The defeat of probibition in Pennsylvania by a majority approximating one hundred and seventy thousand votes makes one propnsi- tion so clear that it cannot again be doubted ~and that Js that the feople are recognizing that it is far better to have a moderate meas- ure, which is cortain to be executed, than an immoderate one, which is certain not to bo oxecuted, Tho vote yestorday was not a liquor viotory. The arguments which had weight in the campaign Just closea—the ar- guments which oven the liquor men were compelled to adopt in tho documents with which they flooded the state—recognized the om of restricting the trafile of tho sa- loons. Many of them were written by men who believe in the ultimate abolition of the barroom. The telling point which they all made, and which carried the day, was that it was absurd to think that prohibition wou 1d be enforced in such cities as Philadelphia and Pittsburg, and that its adoption would not mean the suppression of the saloon, but the suppression of the present restrictions, St. Louis Giobe-Democrat: Tho lesson of the Pennsylvanis election, liko that of the similar election in Massachusctts not long ago, is a very plain ana siguificant one. Prohibition was defeated by temperance votes, Tho remarkable majority against the vroposed amendment does not in any sense indicate sympathy with the saloons, or patience with the evils which they inflict upon society. Itis safe to say that in every county the sentiment of opposition to dram- shops predominates, and that on a direct vote the verdict would be against the trafilo as a matter of principle. But at the same time the fact is realized that prohibition does not prohibit; and hence comes the over- whelming réjection of that particular plan of dealing with the problom. This is the ox planation of the result in Pennsylvania— result which will be duplicated” in every state where the question may hereafter bo submitted; and those who are sinc de- voted to the interests of temperance have no cause for regret in the matter, Brooklyn Times: There was no partisan- ship in the vote. Republican Philadelphia gave over 90,000 majority against the amend- ment, and democratic Tehigh ,000 ma- jority on the same side. Republican Alle gheny. with 15,000, and democratic Berks, with 20,000 majority, stand on a common ground ot hostility’ to prohibition.

The chairman of tueir cam- paign committee can find nothing further to 1 that the machinery of both parties was exerted against his cause. The defeat was hard, The manner of it was something to make a_genuine prohibitionist so far for get himself as to seek consolution inthe flow- ing bowl 5 Sioux City Journal: It is beyond question that such a vast amount of actual prohibition under existing laws, with the prospect of a great deal more prohibition as thereis time for progross in enforcing the same, would bo to qualify the force of the arguments of the prohibitionists in favor of an unvarying rule of prohibition of state wide application. 1t is diffficult to imugine any other theory to ac- count satisfuctorily for the result of the re- cent election in Pennsylvania. New York Wol The significance of the vote on prohibition in Penusylvania last Tuesday is great and encouraging, The de- feat of the prohibitory amendment was not unexpected, but the enormity of the majority against it is a complete surprise. Such & m: jority can only have been cast with the aid of the greater pirt of the temperance people of the state, and the fact that they have belped to defeat pronibition in Pennsylvania,as they did in Massachusewts and New Hampshire, shosws conclusively that eve: nong the most uncompromising teetotalers the folly and futility of prohibition as a remedy for intem- perance are at last clearly recognized. It is easy to see how greata for rational temperance legislation this is when wo re- flect that in all the unsuccessful attempts that have been made to impose a just and reasonable restraint upon the liquor trafic,; defeat has been mainly the work ~ of the prohibitionist represen- tatives of the temperance sentiment. We are apparently at the end of the irra tional and fanatical prohibitory crusade, and henceforth the teetotallers may oe expected to range themselves on the side of practical temperance, New York Herald: The verdict just re- corded by Pennsylvania is the most emphatic popular condemuation that prohibition has yet received in uny state. Not only was tho proposition rejected, but 1t was voted down y & majority suggestive of an avalunche. This result is one of national significance, and, we may be permitted to add, of national encouragement. It is not a rum victory. It is not a triumph of intemperance. On the contrary, it was a temperance victo The people of Pennsylvanis are not indifferent to the evils of the liquor trafic. They are as anxious as the advocates of prohibition to abate or lessen these cvils, But they wisely see that this desivable end cannot be roa by absolute vrohibition, but only by judi ous regulation, Kansas Oity Star: Rhode Island has di- rected a telling blow against the failacy of sceking to govern by an unchangeable law, a matter which every commuuity should be permitted to regulate for itself, " The plan of prohibition by statute, which is carried out by the local option idea, adjusts itself to the conditions of time, place and circumstan and by placing the solution of the temper ance question in the hands of the peopl insures a system of regulation which re the popular will, This method is corres priciple, and it has proved to be entirely satisfactory in practice, New York Sun: The defeat of the prohi- bition cuuse in nnsylvania on Tuesday Is much more conclusive than anybody ex- pected. The old ship has gone to the bottom for certain. The first consequence is that there will be no prohibition party and no prohibition national ticket in the presidential election of 1802, We mean no party and no ticket that will be of any consequence. The republicans and democrats can alike lay their plaus and set up their issues without paying special attention to the liquor ques- tion. It is a useful thing to get the field clear before the great battle begins.

There never was such a healthy volume of temperance sentiment as prevails at present. I oaly remains to utilize it by unity. Detroit Free Pre: The contrast between the vote by which the prohibitory amend- wment was adopted in ithode Isiand, and that by which it has just been aled, is strik ingly suggestive. There were nearly th tinics as many votes cast in favor of its re peal as there were three years #go against adoption, and in an aggregate vote one-half larger the non-repeal vole was barely two- thirds the afirmative vote when the ameud- mont was adopted. ‘The experionce of Rhode Island with prohibition wrought a wonderfu! change in public sentiment. £hiladelphia Record: There is a d isposi- tion onthe part of entbusiastic friends of prolubition to take a rose-colored view of the prospect in Penoylvaria, to cover up their 1 mortification by assailing the management of the campaign. This is nn{u-t. e agu- ment for prohibition was ably and assidu- ously presented before the people. Its oppo- nents aro compellad to_admire the forco and firo of its advocates. Failure camo bocause the botter argument was oh the other side. It has been reasonably well settiod that the better way to deal with the liquor trade is to tax it, as the transportation companies tax merchandise, to the limit which the traf- fic will bear without foreing it into illicit channols. As botweon rogulated and ro. stricted manufucturing and selling, and fur- tive and illegal munufacturing and selling, the voters have made a wise and unsenti- mental chioice. Minneapolis Tribuno: Yesterday Rhode Island signitied her roturn to- a policy of tommon sonse by repeal ing the prohibition amondment by an over- wholming majority, Iu 1886 somo votes weroe cast for constitutional prohibi tion, while 0,230 votes wero recorded in tho negative. After two years' trinl 25,449 de creed the repeal of the amendment, only 9,- 853 votes being cnst on tho side of 'prohibi- tion. The experience of two years has rovo. lutioned public opinion in the little state. The 15,214 votes.cast in support of prohibi- tion in 1830 had dwindled down to 0,853 at yesterday's election, while the -anti-prohibi- tion forces have increased from 9,280 in 1850 to 25,449 In 1880, In other words, in the course of two bgjef years tho prohibitionists have lost upwards of 5000 votes, while their opponents have gained about 10,000 votes, This certainly is a most emphatic vordic It attests in the most forciblo mannor 1o tho disappointment of the people in the rosults of prohibition. Neither is this surprising. Rhode Island has been inundatod by o del uge of whisky for the past two yoars. Not only was liquor rotai openly ‘by saloons, but in addition every kitchen was converted into a barroow. Drunkenness, public dis order, arrosts and crime increased at an alarming rate, and the return to a license system became @ necossity lest the litile commonwealth should become a sin®of im- d crime.

For it was small roundhouse in a small town, and alone watchman had beer left to care for it, and it was nigh mid- night. His loud call summoned a con- course of citizéns in broathless haste, but all they could do was to stand and sce tho great sheet of fire from the | pitched rvoof, and how the inflammable materials inside made every locomotive stall a caldron of fire, and "all the wine dows glared, all the doors poured out: smoko and roar and long flamoes. There stood the stoam giants plai visible brating in tho intense hcat, unap- proachablo as though sot in tho iufors nal regions, Stillit was a fire where the element of human danger was all missing. Suddenly, long and dolor= ous, one of those engines began to sound the danger signal. Heat within and without made its boiler shake with the leap of fiereely boiling water, A bit of falling iron bentand pulled down- ward the lever moving its escape valve s0 that it covld and did sound ceaseless- ly.

Kven the i-prohibitionists fought under the high license banner, and against the chaotic state of things which the adopting of the amend- ment might have brought about. Many cit zens who voted “wet” would have been ranged on the sido of resistance to the liquor trafiic, under the banners of the “dry,” had it not been clearly understood that the amendment, if carriod, might, for an unde- fined time, remove all the wholesome re- straints upon the sales of liquor. The care- ful work of tho judges who supervised the 1ssue of licenses in Philadelphra is showing by its fruits that a stringent license law can be enforeed. - The Wabash Ciieao, June 30.—At midnight the Wa- bash railrond and allits belongings were turned over to a purchasing committee and and the conduct of the road was assumed by the \Wabash Western lway company.
