Chicago, March 22. This week's Farm
er' Mevieo will ay regarding the condition
of winter wheat: It wag feared that the
winter wheat had been greatly injured by
the recent heavy ireezes. Beports from
alternate counties of the States covered
show that while there is some injury it has
not been so widespread as was feared.
In Illinois three-fifths of the correspon
dents say that the outlook is still fair to
good. The others report the condition as
bad. In Indiana 70 per cent of the cor
respondents report the condition as fair and
good, and the others report poor.
The condition in Ohio is a little
worse than in the two preceding States.
Only half of the correspondents re
port th,e condition as fair to good.
The rest report from poor to very bad.
In Michigan two-thirds of the correspond
ents report the condition as fair and good,
the others poor. In Kentucky one-half the
correspondents report the outlook as good,
and nearly 40 per cent report fair, and
little or no damage was done by the recent
unpropitious weather.
In Missouri two-thirds of the correspond
ents report the condition as fair to good.
In Kansas one-half of the correspondents
report the condition of the crop as good;
one-fourth report lair, ana the rest poor.
In Iowa very few correspondents report any
wheat. Of those reporting, two-thirds give
the prospects from fair to good. In "Wis
consin the outlook is decidedly bad. Not
more than one-third of the correspondents
report the condition as either good or fair.
The others give a gloomy report of the con
dition of the crop.

EUMOES 07 XHI SVGAS DEAL.
Spreckels Said to Ban Sold Oat to tbe
Trait for 85,000.000 or 87(000,000.
Philadelphia, March 22. The utmost
reticence in regard to the details of the deal
is still maintained by the Philadelphia re
finers that are believed to have-been ab
sorbed by the Sugar Trust. From informa
tion obtained to-day from several sources
there is but little doubt that E. C. Knight's
refinery was yesterday formally transferred
to the trust ' To-day it is said that the first
payment on the purchase of the Franklin
Eefinerr was paid to Harrison, Frailer &
Co., bat what the amount was cannot be
learned.
Representatives of the trust are believed
to have been busy to-day taking an inven
tory of the stock of the Franklin Refinery
and of Mr. Spreckels refinery. The price
paid by the trust for the Spreckels refinery
is said to be between $5,000,000 and
57,000,000.

plause. In concluding, Mr. "Williams pre
sented the substitute bill of the minority
providing for an- international monetary
conference.
Representative Harter, of Ohio, also a
Democrat, now spoke in opposition to the
bill, and insisted that the Bland bill, in
stead of increasing the volume of money
in circulation, would in its results actually
decrease it The day after the President
aimed a free coinare bill instead of having
51,800,000,000 in circulation for the use of
the people, we will have 51,200,000,000, for
money will be depredated to this extent
Democrats are opposed to protection, vet
many of them desired by this bill to give
the silver producer the benefits of a pro
tective system. Continuing, Mr. Harter
said:

The Grand Trunk System the ext Cana
dian ISoad to Be Tied Vp.
Detkoit, March 22. The Grand Trunk
Railway, of Canada, and its Michigan
branches, the Detroit, Grand Haven and
Milwakee, the Chicago and Grand Trunk,
and other laterals, and the main line and all
the branches of the Canadian Pacific, are
tottering on the edge of a strike, which, if
it takes place, will effectually tie them up.
There is but one way to avert it The Can
adian Pacific Railway must restore the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen dis
charged from its lar "Western divisions be
tween Winnipeg and Vancouver. A dele
gation of the Brotherhood from the Canadian
side was in Detroit yesterday in conference
with officials, and special meetings of the
Brotherhood in their various lodges in
Michigan and Canada have been called.
The Canadian Pacific strike has now ex
tended to the Eastern division from Fort
"William to Chalk river, 400 more miles
being locked up. It is expected the division
from Montreal east will be under strike to
morrow. More violence is reported from
Rat Portage, the train being stopped by
torpedoes on the track and Superintendent
McKenzie and Conductor McXabb, who
were in the caboose, were both badly hurt,
but are now in the care of friends.
TJnlonlown Contractors Fall.
Ukiontown, March 22. Special Bre
hem & Kabors, one of the largest firms of
builders and contractors in this place, as
signed to-day to D. M. Hertzog. The firm
claim their liabilities are only 520,000,
while their assets are 530,000. Lack of con
tracts is the cause.
BUSINESS BREVITIES.
THE STAHDABD'S NEW DEAL.
Only 13 Companies, It Is Humored, TTill
Form the Kext Trust.
2?EW York, March 22. Special The
Standard Oil Trust, it was stated yesterday,
had in its cash box at the date of its dissolu
tion, on Monday, $26,000,000 in cash and
Governments, which represents the cumula
tive profits which then amounted to 520,000,
000. A part of the 526,000,000 now on hand
will be used to strengthen, by Increased
capital, some of the smaller companies con
trolled by the Standard Oil Company. The
remainder of the cash and bonds will be dis
tributed among the certificate holders of the
Standard trust
It is now believed that the number of the
companies in the Standard will be reduced
to 12, instead of 18 or 20. This will go a
long way toward preventing undue friction,
of which some of the original trustees of the
trust are evidently apprehensive.

Cincinnati Carpenters May Strike.
Cincinnati, March 22. Once more, as
the active building season approaches, there
are serious apprehensions of a carpenters'
strike The bosses are preparing for It
They have resolved to act together in what
ever course they decide to take. At a re
cent conference between the Carpenters'
Union and the Builders' Exchange, a propo
sition was agreed upon to make the Tate of
wages 30 cents an hour for this year and 33
cents for 1893; but now comes the statement
that this treaty is not ratified by the local
carpenters' unions, and that many of them
Fay the rate must be 40 cents an hour. The
agreement led many bosses to "make con
tracts on that basis. Efiorts are still being
made to reach an agreement before May 1.
More About the PaineiTille Crash.
YOUNGSTOWN, March 2a Special
The failure of the Painesville Savings and
Loan Association Bank caused but little ex
citement in banking circles here, as it was
not unexpected. Ralph K. Paige, the
cashier, who is a prominent politician, be
came known here through being receiver of
the Painesville and Youngstown Railroad
until it passed into the possession ot the
Pittsburg, Painesville and Fairport Rail
road. By reason of his extensive railroad
acquaintance many of the employes were
induced to deposit their savings in his
bank, and now leel the blow se erely.

Suit Is to be brought at Helena charging
the Great Falls and Canada Bailroad with
violation of the alien contract labor law.
The Grievance Committee of the Order of
Bailroad Telegraphers on the Santa Fe Ball
road has decided to accept the terms offered
by the road.
The stockholders of the Baltimore and
Cumberland Bailroad have approved the
legislative amendment to tbe company's
charter authorizing an increase in tbe cap
ital stock from $100,000 to $1,UX).000. An ad
ditional $900,000 or stock was authorized to
be issued and was subscribed by the attend

leading spirit Although bnt 5 years old,
tli traffic of the C., St. P. A K. C. is exceeded
only in the West by that or the Chicago and
Alton, and the Chicago and Northwestern.
The lease simply amounts to a reorganiza

' Dorixq the past two weeks a large tract of
coai lanu aiong uiacK iack creek, near
Johnstown, was bought by Contractor Mc
Fadden. The uniform price for coal alone
nas $15 per acre. McFadaen Is the contractor
on the new line of the Pennsylvania rail
road leading out from Kaylor's station. The
fact that he bas invested in these lands is
proof that the Pennsylvania railroad In
tends to extend its line to that region.
Chief BAtjfon, of the Inspection Bureau of
the Central Traffic Association and or the
Joint Bate Committee or the Eastern and
Western roads, has issued a statement show
ing the workings of the department during
1891. His figures indicate that the correction

this enormous burden which tbe bill places
on the over 63,000,000 of our people in no way
interested as owners of silver mines, it pro

not over 87 cents per ounce, and a great deal

its members down to the hour when tbey go
into their coffins. If we are to have oolnage,
and free coinage, we must follow law and
precedent "We must aim to do as this coun
try has always done before and as every
other nation has done, and that is to make
the coinage ratio in close accord with mar
ket ratios. Applause. 1 We would but for
this Bland discussion be getting in from
Europe $15,000,000 or $20,000,000 of gold a
month: Instead of this, alarmed and excited,
Europe Is sending back our stocks and se
curities by the ream. Her purchases or a
quarter of a century past Are coming back
by every steamer, and instead of gold reach
ing our shores, it pours ont and away
through every channel. Continue this wild
craze for free silver and fair orops in Europe
next year will bankrupt tbe United States.
Neglect our present great opportunity
and who can tell when It will come again.
Let ui counsel and oompel wise and prudent
notion now, to-day, Instantly, and those who
come after us will praise our wisdom and
bless oar memories. Negleot this oppor
tunity and the names or those whose votes
fasten ruin on our land wHl rot I beg to
be forgiven if I have said a word that hurts
the feeling of any member of the House. It
has not been my Intention or wish to utter
a syllable whioh would fall harshly on any
ear, but I bays been so wholly obsorbed in
tbe fearful consequence to my country
whioh must follow this class of legislation
that I may have forgotten men while de
nouncing the measure. Applause.
In the course of Mr. Harter's speech a
rather laughable incident occurred. He
was speaking of the silver interest taking
the public by the nape of the neck; and as
he completed his sentence he brought his
hand down on Mr. McKaig, of Maryland,
who visibly retreated from such a practical
illustration. Mr. Harter apologized for his
unintentional violence, but thought better
to move a few feet forward, so as to avoid a
second assault on the Marylander.
Millions for Silver Mine Owners.
Mr. Ravnor, of Maryland, also a Demo
crat, said' that the mine owner who was
given $18,000,000 a year more profit than he
is now making could well afford to inundate
Congress with whole libraries of literature
and employ a host of lobbyists to advance
and promote this scheme. "Who would get
this money when the mints were opened and
70 cents could be coined into a Government
dollar; would the people receive any of it?
If ot the clipping of an eagle. Every dollar
of profit, instead of going to the Govern
ment and through the Government to the
Jieople, as it aid now, wouia go deep down
nto the pockets of the Nevada and Colorado
millionaires. Mr. Taylor then offered an
amendment that all pensions shall be paid
in gold, and accused the Democratic party
of straddling the free coinage question.
Mr. Compton, of Maryland, offered an
amendment to the bill to restrict free coin
age of silver to that produced by mines of
the United States, the American coinage
proposition.
Mr. Epes, of Virginia, a member of the
committee, supported the bill Mr. Craw
ford, of North Carolina, and Mr. Stevens,
of Massachusetts, Democrats, supported the
bill.
A recess was taken until 7:30 o'clock,
with the understanding: that only .the silyer
bill would be considered at the evening ses
sion. At the evening session Mr. O'Donnell, of
Michigan, took the floor in opposition to
the pending bill. Messrs. "Weadock,Bowers
and Winn supported the measure and only
Mr. Covert opposed it
After further remarks by Mr. Lewis, of
Mississippi, in favor of the bill, and by
Mr. Post, of Illinois, against it, the House
adjourned.
OPPOSES 10 FREE SILVER.
New Tork Chamber of Commerce Demands
an International Conference.
New York, March 22. Special The
Chamber of Commerce forwarded yesterday
to the Senate and House of Representa
tives a memorial on the silver question,
which concludes as follows:
The Chamber of Commerce respectfully
submit that the interests of the country de
mand: First That all existing legislation whioh
requires the Secretary of tbe Treasury to
purchase silver bullion shall be repealed.
Second That the opening or tbe mints to
tne free coinage of silver would, by degrad
ing the standard of value, effect a confisca
tion and transfer of wealth unparalleled in
the history of civilized nations, and produce
an amount ot distress for which not tbe
slightest justification Is to be found in ne
cessity, policy, or morals.
Third That tbe only practical mode of
dealing with the silver question is by an in
ternational conference and negotiation with
the other great commercial nations of tbe
world, looking to tbe restoration of silyer
to its place as international money upon a
fair basis of relative market value with gold,
and to such an extent as the conditions of
commerce and the judgment of financial
authorities will justify.

The high standing of our house for correct and exclusive styles, and the
uniformly good qualities of the goods we offer, is so well known as to make
it almost unnecessary to repeat here the fact that our present collection of
Fine Trimmed and Untrimmed Millinery for the approaching spring season
is of the most select order.
Such perfect gems of the modiste's art have never before been shown,
and we are confident that these beautiful specimens of Ladies' Headgear
will inspire the admiration of all who will behold them.
Our stock-of Trimmed Hats and Bonnets includes everything that is
needful and dressy in Ladies' Headwear, representing the best efforts of
European and our own Modistes. No matter what the taste or fancy of our
patrons may be they will find in our show rooms the desired article.
Our departments for Untrimmed Millinery Goods contain everything
that may be needed for the making and trimming of any description of
Ladies' Hat or Bonnet.
