THE statistical report of the Depart­ ment of Agriculture for March relates to the distribution and consumption of corn and wheat. It makes the proportion of the corn crop in "the hands of growers 4J.9 per cent, or U70,00j,0jj bushel.;, and of the wheat crop 31.9 per cent, or l£d,000,000 bushels. The stock of corn on hand Is the largest over reported in March. The av­ erage of eight nnuual rsturns is 677,OOJ,OJO bushels ; that of last year 707,030,00a bushels. The estimated consumption to March 1 is 1,. 143 .00 J,OOj bushels, a figure exceeded only last year aud in 188ii. The proportion of merchant­ able corn of tbe crop of 183? is 85.7 percent., exceeded in recent rears only by those of 18tyt and IBSti. Til® average value of all corn 011 Dec. 1 was 28.3 cents per bushel. The average on March 1 was 27.9 cents for merchant­ able and U.'i tor unmerchantable, making an aggregate value of $35,000,00J lass than tbe De­ cember estimate. The wheat crop of 18ft) was exceeded by the crops of 188U, 1882, and 1884. The average remainder in the hands of growers on the 1st of Maroh for ten years has been 130,- (Hx>,000 bushels. 'Ihe aveiage crop during this period is 4>0,i.KI0,uOJ bushels. Most of the wheat iu farmers' hands is in States which have no surplus over consumption, nor in those In which much the larger portion is consumed at home, it is seen, therefore, that tho avail­ able supply for exportation and tor home dis tribution to July is small. The depleted farm i reserves have been measurably tilled, except in a few States, but it will require the press­ ure of high prices to squeeze any considerable proportion 0/ them into commercial dlstrlhu lion.

Chicago dispatch: Officers Isaac Lhiville and Emmet Briscoe of the cen­ tral detail and E. C. Cole, a citizen, were shot down In tho street by Patrick Crowe, a desperate young thief whom the offi­ cials wore attempting to place under ar­ rest for a diamond robbery of consider­ able magnitude. It Is feared that Offi­ cer Briscoe's injuries will prove ffotal. Linville's Injury is dangerous, but not necessarily fatal unless lockjaw or blood poisoning should set In, whilo Mr. Cole escaped with iv bad wound In the fleshy part of the left arm. ' Tho would-be murderer and robber was caught after a long and exciting chase and locked op at the Harrison street station to await the resfilt of the. victim's injuries. Three days beforo Crowe, who had been on a protracted spree, called at a disreputable house on Clark street, near Polk, and next morning about 11 o'clock he attempted to rob a woman named Annie Hall of diamond Jewelry valued at $1,500. The woman resisted and Crowo discharged his revolver at her, the bullet lodging in the fleshy part of her left arm. The thief then hastily gathered to­ gether the diamonds and started to run down the stairs. At the door his pro­ gress was barred by a colored woman. A vicious blow 011 the head from tho butt of .the revolver , stretched the woman senseless on tho floor,. Crowe then made his escape. . He was caught yesterday evening about rt o'clock, at a pawnshop on Clark street where he was raising some money on the diamonds. As Crowe was leaving the pawnshop Officer Linville stepped up to him and placing a hand on his shoulder said: "You are my prisoner. Come with me to the station." I'll never go with you alive," re­ torted the prisioner, whipping a revol­ ver from his pocket and firing full in the face of the officer. The bullet struck just below the left ear,' and pass­ ing completely t irough tho tongue, made its exit tbrought the right side*of tho face. The officer fell to the ground with the blood pouring In torrents from his mouth. The streets were full of people. The thief turned east on Adams street fol­ lowed by a rapidly increasing crowd, who were yelling: "Stop, thief!" Stop, thief!" Officer Briscoe, who stands at the cor­ ner of Adams and Dearborn streots, saw the man running toward him, revolver in hand, and followed by the howling mob. Tho officer made an attempt to seize the man, when a shot from Crowe's revolver wounded the officer in the left breast, the bullet entering just below the nipple. i1 Officer Briscoe fell to the ground mortally wounded. As he dropped ho pulled his own revolver and fired at Crowe, the bwllet crashing through his assailant,s left arm. Crowo continued to run toward Michigan avenue, his pursuers being reinforced by Detectives Plunkett, Marsh, McDonald, and half a dozen uniformed officers who were at­ tracted by the sounds of the shooting and tho yells and cries of the excited crowd. As he was crossing State street Crowe turned and discharged the only remain­ ing chamber of his revolver at the crowd. The bullet plowed through tho arm of C. E. Cole, who was foremost among the pursuers. Crowe continued running and turned south on Mirtilgan avenue, taking refuge in a blind alley adjoining the Pullman building, where, with re­ volver In he kept his pursuers at bay untff Detectives'Plunkett and Marsh struck him down with well directed blows from the butts of their revolvers. • It was with difficulty the crowd was kept from lynching Crowe until the wagon arrived and took him to the sta­ tion. At the Harrison street station, the prisoner said he came here from Omaha last week, where he had been cm ployed in the packing house of Armour & Cudahy. He has a father, mother, and brothers, living in Omaha, who he claims are ver^r respectably. connected. His brother-ir.-law, Patrick King, is a police magistrate in that city. STATE OF TRADE. " Bradstreet's" Reports from the Leading Business Centers of the Country. New York dispatch: Bradstreet's " State of Trade" says: " Telegrams report 110 improvement in the distribution of merchandise. Cold weather aud snow have stimulated sales for some winter goods, but checked the movement in spring staples. Anthracite coal stocks between the mines and tide-water are very large. There is a heavy southern demand for bacon, and cattle and hogs are both in better demand at the west. Low prices for grain at the Interior and the farmers' Indebtness are reported responsible for slow collections. The total bank clearings at forty-eight cities in February aggregated $4,309,045,331, an increase over February of last year of 5.4 per cent. Exports of wheat and (lonr, as w'-eat, both coasts, this week, as reported, aggregato 2,3«B.8G9 bushels, against 80>,510 bushels in the first week of March 1889.

Tlfe total of wheat stocks March 1, added to Beerbohm's aggregate of wheat in Europe and afloat on that date is 95,841,000 bushels, against 109,724,- 000 bushels a year ago. Iron and steel markets are weaker than for some time past. This refers to pig and bar iron, billots, blooms and slabs. Prices for merchant steel and' hardware generally arc firm. Bessemer pig is weak and $3 below the highest priccs touched within a year. Dry goods with jobbers are fairly ac­ tive at Boston and New York. Weather conditions havo not been altogether fa­ vorable- Southern buyers ar« the most numerous and Western retail demands not as active as anticipated. Prices are Irregular. Print cloths are 1-10 off in buyer's favor and jobbers have moved off styles of prints at price concessions. Raw wool is dull, with prices in buyers' favor on a hand-to-mouth manufacturing demand. The business failures reported number 215 in the United States against 190 last week and 221 for the same week last year. The total number of failures in the United States since Jan. 1, is 2,758, against 2.948 in 1889.

On every side are peanut stands, cig»r counters, card writers, pic­ ture galleries, typewriters and telegraph and telephone othces, to say nothing of the old apple woman in every nook and corner. Fiom statuary hall to the main door of the House of Representatives a string of pie counters and show cases block up the passage ways until there is hardly room for the sight-seers. Many of the old-timers in the lower house of tbe national legislature are petting tired of the everlasting turmoil and confusion about the south wing, and are seriously contemplating a general clearing out. It is said that the Speaker in seeking about for new precedents to establish has turned his attention to this matter, and it now behooves the old apple women and pie peddlers to keep their weather eye open. The Sen >to wins* of the Capitol, some years ago*was infesteiwith these nuisances, but tney have long since been turned, ont on the cold world, or rather moved o ver on the opposite side. An innocent piece of custard pie is charged with the responsibility of this radical move on the part of the Senate. A grave and dignified Senator, who prides himself on his personal appearance and solid Btatesmanship, was walking hur­ riedly through the" corridors, when he happened to step on the offending pie, that had been thrown down with disgust by some patron of the pie stand. The dainty morsel was carried by the eminent statesman into the handsome chamber, and a few moments after stood forth in bold relief on the beautiful green velvet carpet. This was too much for the Sen­ ators, and a resolution to clear the corri­ dors met with no opposition. There is one institution, however, that will be hard to suppress. * Clara Morris" is the name of an old gray-haired womtrn who runs a 1 <rge stand in the space be- the rotuuda and statuary hall. She sells ail kinds of curiosities and "momentums" to the bund teds of daily visitors. This is a great place for newly married couples to congregate, and old Clara * is able to spot them in an insttnt, and the unlucky bridegroom rarely gets away without leaving a goodly portion of the contents of his often rather nlender purse. This woman is tiudoubtedly of French extrac­ tion, and in her day niust have been con­ sidered very handsome. Some tiaces of beauty still linger in her wrinkled face. Time has woven considerable of a ro­ mance about this old lady. Tbe oldest member of Congress cannot remember the time when hers was not a familiar face about the corridors. She has a daily h ibit of running around through the passage-ways dressed in an outland­ ish costume and dress short enough to expose a pair of rather dirty white stock­ ings. Henry Clay is given credit for discovering this now rather ancient cus­ tomer, iu his day young amd pretty. Tra­ dition has it about Washington that Bhe used to help him squander his wages, or a considerable portion of them. Whether this is true or not can only be judged now from the stories that are handed down to us in which the name of the il­ lustrious statesman and old Clatft lie mingled. ^ The great Blair educational bill, which ^as had the ear of the Senate for the past six or eight weeks, to the exclusion of all other matters, still hangs on. Sen­ ator Blair can at least be given credit for an immense amount of perseverance in pressing his pet measure, while the other Seuators are entitled to still greater praise for the patience they have dis­ played in listening to the long and tedious debate. The bill has twice passed the Senate, and had the question come to a vote during the early part of the session it would not have failed this time, but the patience of a number of Senators has been exhausted, and they have decided to tit down squarely on Mr. Blair, and gave him to understand that early in the debate. Of those who have changed their attitude toward the school bill, the most prominent are Sen­ ators Spooner and Plumb. Both of. these gentlemen voted for the bill last seB«>ion, but have both made speeches against it during the past ten days. • * No man hates to come out second best more than Senator Ingalls, and if the truth is told he seldom does get entirely left. The latest story out on him now is how he came it over President Harrison. It is in Connection with the organization of Oklahoma under a territorial form of government. The President and Secre­ tary of the Interior had given represent­ atives from Oklahoma to understand that he was going to select the principal offi­ cers of the new government from the States, for various reasons. As soon as this became known to Senator Ingalls he went to the President and asked for one of the judgeships for a constituent. The President would make no prom:se, and from the conversation with him, and from woids let fall by the Secretary, he became convinced that the administration had parcelled the ten lucrative positions out, and this, too, in the face of the fact that tbe bill organizing Oklahoma as a Territory had not yet become a law. The Kansas statesman said nothing until the Oklahoma measure came up in the Senate, when he very quietly tacked on an innocent-looking amendment to the section providing for the appointment of officers. The amendment 'contained seven words, as follows: "And who shall be qualified electors thereof (mean­ ing Oklahoma Territory). The result of Ingalls' little joke is th~ t the President's promises cannot be carried out, and he will havo to selefet all the Territorial officers from bona-fide residents of the Territory. EX-CONGRKSSSIAJ« TACLBEE XX- i * , PIRES AT W^SBISQTOX. Tfi» Victim of tho Shooting at the Capi­ tol Building Breaches His Last--De­ tailed Account of the Qnarret Which Led to the 8!ioi»tlritf-T»*iIbee's Con­ gressional Career. Washington dispatch: Ex-Congress­ man Tau 1 bee, who was shot by Corre­ spondent Kincaid, died on the 11th in9t. lie had been unconsc ous several hours before death and did not regain con­ sciousness passing quietly away. As soon as his death was announced at po­ lice headquarters an officer was sent to Kincaid's room and ho was rearrested. Ex-Congressman Tanlbee received the bullet in his head that caused his death Feb. 28 last. The shooting took place In one of the corridors of the Capitol near the south­ east entrance, and was the result of an old quarrel which originated about a year and a half ago by the publication In the Louisville Times' Washington correspondence of matter reflecting on Mr. Taulbee in his relations with a cer­ tain femalo clerk In the patent office. A call of the House had just been or­ dered shortly after noon. Kincaid had sent In his card to see a Kentucky mem­ ber of Congress and was watting at the east door leading in to the floor of the Home. It is from this door that the cards of all ladies are sent In to the House, the ladies' reception room being across the corridor. There is always a large crowd of people about the corri­ dor. Taulbee, who had a business en­ gagement with Congressman McCreary of Kentucky and several others, came out of the House wlvjlo Kincaid was Standing in the outer dporway, and walking up to him said a few words in an undertone, indistinguishable to the doorkeeper, only two or threo feet away. It is said that the lie was passed. The doorkeeper, who was in tho act of clos­ ing the doors, as is customary on a call" of the House, then noticed Taulbee, who was large-framed and muscular, grab Kincaid by the lapel of tho coat and with a strong grasp held him while ho said: "Kincaid. come out into the corridor with me." The reports which flew aboiilS* the Capitol were to the effect that the ex- Congressman had pulled the corres­ pondent's nose or ear; but the doorkeeper standing there disputes this. Kincaid is small, slightly built man, suffering from illness and some nervous ailment* His reply to Taulbee's invitation to come out into the corridor was: "I am in 110 condition for a physical contest with you. 1 am .unarmed." Taulbee responded that he was also unarmed, and the men were separated by friends, Kincaid calling upon an ac­ quaintance from Kentucky named Sam Walton to bear witness to what had oc curred. Walton evidently did not de­ sire to become Involved In the trouble between the two men, and he replied that he could be a witness to nothing, lie only knew that some words had been exchanged. All this time tho doorkeeper was vainly endeavoring to get the men out of the way so that the doors might be closed, but was prevented by Taul­ bee, who declared that he bad a right to enter. Taulbee and Kincaid went their ways,the former into the House and tho latter, it is supposed, after a pistol. The quarrel was not generally known even to tho intimate friends of tho two men when at about 1:30 o'clock mem­ bers and friends dining In the restaurant were startled by tho sharp report of a pistol fired very near the private room adjoining the restaurant. They rushed out breathlessly, while other persons came tumbling down tho stairway, and soon there was an excited crowd sur­ rounding a man holding his head, from which the blood was gushing in a steady stream, while another man was exclaim­ ing: "I did the shooting." The b;;iiet was fired at: a range not the length of a man's arm. William Preston Tanlbee represented the Tenth district of his State in the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Congresses. He was eminent In debate for his fluency and vocal power, gifts which were aided in their effect bv his superior stature. Mr. Taulbee's homo was at Saylersville, Ky. lie was born in Morgan county, that State, Oct. 22, 1851, and was edu­ cated in private country schools. The three years between 1875 and 1878 were spent by him in preparation for the ministry; during the next threo years he read law. He was elected clerk to Maguffin county court in 1878 and re­ elected in 1882. His first election to Congress was in 1884.

Old residents have long since learned that to leave almost any trifle about within rench is equivalent to throwing it into the river. Housekeepers find it next to impossible to secure the services of a cook or other servant who can resist carrying away after dark enough for a family to live on the next day. The reason given for this is the large number of negroes in the District There t.re over fifty thousand colored people, one-fifth of whom work and the balance subsist the Lord only knows how. The Superintendent of Census is much further advanced in his work than was his bureau this time ten years ago. By June 30 it is expected that all the preliminary work will be completed, and by the 1st of August he will be able to announce the population. The bureau now has elec­ trical enumerating machines, which do as much work in five hours as was for­ merly done in fifty-five. These machines do their work on a basis of 10,000,- 000 names, so that the Superintendent thinks that within twenty days from the receipt of the last schedule a close esti­ mate of totals can be given. B.\**hetime the schedules begin to come in there will be a force of GU0 clerks at work. The farm, home, and mortgage statistics, a new branch especially created by the resent Congress, adds immensely to the abor. During this month hundreds of agents will be at work in every county searching the records of the In at ten years for statistics of farm and ; property and mortgage indebtedness. JAS. C.
