California alone is suffering from lack of moisture. There fields and vineyards are alike blighted by the continued dry weather. In the Central States, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Kansas and Nebraska abundant rains have been falling during the last ten days, and crop prospects are bright In fruit sections, however, frost has done much damage, and in places threatens more. . - Mob Kelsen • Train. GEN. KELLY'S industrials, 1,503 to 2,000 in number, had for several days lain encamped near Council Bluffs, Iowa, confronted by a strong constabu­ lary and knowing that the Iowa mili­ tia were ready to respond at a mo­ ment's notice to any call for aid. The "army" had no shelter, and, ex­ cept for irregular and insufficient contributions from the people sur­ rounding. very little lood. This I contingent had been assisted through Nebraska and out of Omaha with apparent good-will by the citizens; but, when Iowa was reached a different state of feeling prevailed, and th,e public not only re­ fused aid, but established close !(gupjrd to prevent the commonwealers from helping themselves. Matter! came to a desperate pass soon, and citizen-i of ^ /' % Omaha pasSed resolutions, contributed | C I material help, and did other consolar ^ » 1V " tory acts, until on the Iowa side also, |V V- «®aong the laboring men, a feeling of gf* , }/'•' sympathy was manifested. Friday night *' * eame the climax. Ten thousand knights J\. ffr of labor from both cities captured a • y/'r, v, Bock Island train, ran it to Council l&V B®«ffs. and invited Kelly and his horde v;'ri to take it and pull out for Chicago. •£t> ' Never in the history of the two cities had such excietment prevailed.

FIRE broke out Friday afternoon in the old Crown Linseed Oil Works at St. Louis. The fire started in the ele­ vator attached to the works, which is leased by the Ryan Commission Com­ pany, and is used for storing wheat, ii. M. Johnson, Superintendent of the Cr jwn works, said the fire must have been caused by spontaneous combus­ tion. He thought the loss to the Crown works would be fully $120,030.

A CONNELLSVILLK (Pa.) dttp«teh says that the WTheeler and MorreH riot­ ers were arrested Wednesday by a posse under Deputy Sheriff Rlehards. The deputies arrived at the Wheeler worics before daylight in a special car. As soon as the guard lines could be thrown out, a mob of strikers was cornered, and the other employes of the com pany were detained to identify the rioters who beat Engineer Charles Semons and Joseph Ashton. Several rioters are in hiding, and it will be some time before they are all captured. Warrants have been issued for thirty, and as soon as all have been caught they will be brought to Connellsville n a special train. i • Ksar ' ^ WBSTBRWt * A CYCLONE passed over t^ie country 90 miles east of Guthrie Ok., Tuesday morning, doing great damage. In Lin­ coln County four houses are reported demolished and several people injured, and over the line in Pottawatomie County a dozen houses were wreeked and two people killed. A GENERAL strike on the Great Northern Railway extending from Lar- imore, N. I)., to Spokane, Wash., on the main line, and from Havre to Butte, on the Montana Central, was inaugu­ rated at noon Friday. Nearly 1,500 miles of road are tied up. The strike embraces all classes of employes. Ev­ ery conductor, engineer, iireTGjWs, op­ erator, brakeman, clerk, shopman, sec­ tion man, car repairer, and coal heaver between the pnnts named quit work together and the switchmen with the exception of those employed in the Butte yard. THE trouble at Detroit, Mich., be­ tween the water board and thfe Polish laborers, who refuse to do piecework or allow any one else to, was renewed Wednesday morning. A mob of about 700 assembled just outside the city limiib*and when the small gang ap­ peared they drove them away with shovels and picks. The police force was insufficient to quell the disturb­ ance, and, with the laborers, we?e driven from the scene. A dispatch says that no further attempt will he made to resume operations until a full meeting of the board pan, ty^Jkadj Eonr rioters were slein. . . : THERE was received the other day at the Fourth National Bank at St. Louis, Mo., a draft for the benefit of a Russian nobleman who is now lying in potter's field, having dfed uncared for and friendless in a cheap boarding- house March 28, just about the time the needed assistance was mailed to him.

CALIFORNIA has had a mild winter and the general prospect for a good crop of hopi is bright. In tbe vicinity of Sacramento, however, the outlook is not so good. Dry weather has forced the roots and as they were in an un­ healthy state, owing to late cultivation and close trimming, the crops will de- Knd upon early rainfall. Reports )m Ukiah, Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, Cal.. Portland, Ore., and Tacome, Wash., indicate an increase in quanti- ty. The wintering of the plants has been excellent and all the signs point toa yield eqval to that of last year. The acreage has been increased by at least 5 per cent, and although the yield is somewhat dependent upon the late rains, there is no fear regarding the final outcome. SMALL-POX is raging in Chicago, ana the city and the county stand, for the nonce, helpless before the pest. There are ten cases of the hideous dis­ ease in the county hospital and that great institution is under quarantine. No patients can be taken into it; no ?atients can be discharged from it. 'he small-pox, according to a dispalcb, is worse than at any time during this visitation and is increasing daily. For the first time the officials of tbe city and the county have become seriously alarmed, and while every measure pos­ sible is being taken to estop the prog­ ress of the disease among the people the officers are really embarrassed and there seems to be a disposition to stammer and halt among them. On all sides the situation looks black and it is getting blacker every day. E. W. JUSTICE, a teacher in the Kansas State Reform School, filed charges with the Governor against superintendent of the institution, E. C. Hitchcock, alleging inhuman ani bru­ tal treatment of the inmates. Among other incidents of brutalitv he related that four weeks ago Hitchcock heard a small disturbance in the bath-room where four boys, ranging from 10 to 15 years of age, were bathing. He pounced down upon them, and with a rawhide whipped them unmercifully upon their bare bodies. Other boys, Justice says, have been whipped in the same manner frequently. Sev­ eral weeks ago a boy named William Mooney was working in a sewer. One Friday afternocn he hid in the tunnel hoping to make his escape. He remained there Friday night and all Saturday, when he was discovered by one of the teachers. He was taken to a room by a teacher, who was in the act of giving him something to eat. as he had had nothing since noon of the previous day,when Hitchccck put in an appearance, saying, angrily, 'Not a bite shall he have." The boy was then placed in a dark dungeon and gven no food until Sunday morning, e was kept in the dungeon for a week before he had, in the opinion of thfe superintendent, been sufficiently, pun­ ished. lork otBce of * rise wiMi '• IFC wreotred the fortunes oC _ several rallreads, atid his o#ri' • career of wild dissipation ruined his Own health.

A BILL is to be introduced in Con­ gress providing for the manning by acclimated seamen of fruit vessels trad­ ing between ports of the United States and those of Mexico, the West Indies, Central and South America. The measure is intended to lessen the danger of such vessels importing yel­ low fever and other contagious diseases. A WASHINGTON dispatch to a New York paper says it is rumored that a suit for divorce will be brought by Mrs. Breckinridge immediately upon the ending of the present suit. It is said Mrs. Breckinridge turned over a large portion of her fortune to defray the costs of the trial, and that she was nearlv prostrated when her husband on the witness-stand frankly confessed the nature and relatively recent date of his relations with Miss Pollard. THE State Department has received for forwarding to the fortv-nine inde­ pendent nations of the world official copies of the memorial for international arbitration prepared at the World's Columbian Exposition.

Miss Pollard was somewhat excited, but not hysteri­ cal, while awaiting the result, and broke into tears when she heard it. She declined to be interviewed, and her attorneys said that she was anxious to efface herself from tbe public sight as far as possible, now that the case had ended. Congressman Breckin­ ridge will appeal the case, and in the meantime will go to Kentucky and de­ mand a re-election as a "vindication." Tha Verdict 1* Announced. At 4:35 there was a rush toward the oourt-room. Judge Bradley and the jury entered at one door, Col. Breck­ inridge, his son and Col. Phil Thomp­ son, his attorney, by the other.

Thttt ieeibs TO Im» nothing extraordinary, either. I have had a number of cases where the first word we had of them was from the un­ dertaker. Generally we find one or two new cases in the house with the dead body, but the isolation of such cases Is not enough to stop the trouble, because we are called in after the harm has been done. "Another thing, and the most seribus obstacle, is the opposition to vaccina­ tion. The Poles especially seem to re­ gard inoculation with fear as a thing to be dreaded. It is next to impossible to persuade the residents of the dis­ trict to protect themselves and their neighbor from contagion. As a result the condition of things here is serious and something ought to bo done at once if they are not to be worse. "Here is an AismnlA of the way the disease is scattered: I was called in to examine a patient in a house. I found a little girl already dead, anoth­ er sister in the first stages, and the father, who was a butcher, attending to his shop every day. There had been ho attempt to isolate him. He told fresh meat to hundreds of people in that neighborhood, and it will be strange if some of them do not" come down sick. To make matters worse, the sanitary conditions in the district are very bad. Not an alley in the Ninth or Tenth Ward is paved, and al­ most all of them are filled with trash." coats and hats. The jury had been out only one hour and twenty-eight min­ utes. There was an intense silence. Five minutes passed before Attorney Carlisle, representing Miss Pollard, entered. Judge Bradley lequested the people to refrain from uemonstrations. Then the verdict of $15,000 for the plaintiff was announced. There was no expression of approval or disap­ proval from the crowd. Col. Breckin­ ridge himself rose to make a motion for a new trial and the court adjourned/ There was nothing but expressions of approval and regrets that the amount was not larger among the few Senators in the Senate chamber when the bulletin was announced to them and rapidly passed around the cham­ ber. Since the verdict was rendered the theatrical managers have redoubled their importunities, and several tele­ grams came to Miss Pollard offering her astonishing sums to go upon the stag© at once. Her friends decline tOj give the names of the theatrical inaa-i agers or to discuss their offers, saying that no attention will be paid to any of them. Ask Congress to Tike Action. Hardly had the verdict in* the Pol- lsrd-Breckinridge case been rendered when a meeting of prominent Wash­ ington women was called to take action regarding the case of Col. Breckin­ ridge. Representatives of several fem­ inine organizations met at Willard's Hotel, and, after an interesting con­ ference, adopted resolutions, calling upon Congress to consider the qualifi­ cations of Representative Breckinridge for membership in that body. £^ ; - PEST HOUSE CROWDED* A ICest Serious Condition of Affairs Exists In Chicago. One hundred and twenty-six new casfes was the small-pox record in Chi­ cago for the la*t week as shown by the books in the Health Department. Twenty-five of these were reported on Friday, twenty-three on Saturday. Eleven had been discovered up to 4 o'clock Sunday, and the department declares the disease is still spreading. Qne hundred and eighty-six patients, say's a dispatch, are in the pest house, several are in the "suspect* ward of the County Hospital, ana a number are Suarantlned in private houses because here Is no room in the city's hospital. No more women or children will be re­ moved from infected houses unless some extra provision is made for their care.

TO RESIST COXEYITES. ' ] Iowa's Governor Orders State HlUtli ti- der Arms. Nine companies of the Iowa National Guard in the western part of the State were under arms, ready to go to Coun­ cil Bluffs in case their presence was needed, to prevent lawlessness and dis­ order on the part of Kelly's Western industrial army. Governor Jackson, according to a Des Moines dispatch, received a telegram from the Sheriff of Pottawattamie County, asking him for troops to preserve the peace and protect property. The Governor at once ordered Company I, of the Third Regiment, Iowa National Guard, at Council Bluffs, W. E. Atkinson com­ manding, to report to the sheriff for, duty. The company numbers forty men, and is one of the best in the State. '• A short time afterward N. M. Hnb-1 bard, Jr., of Cedar Rapids, attorney! for the Chicago and Northwestern' Railway, arrived in Des Moines and| hurried to the Capitol. He rep re- < rented to the Governor that the trunk] lines of railroad which touch Council1 Bluffs would be unable to protect their' trains and other property from the in-! vaders. He feared that the :',000 des-1 perate men in Kelly's army would cap-' ture trains on some of the east-west roads running into Council Bluffs andi run them wild eastward, possibly eaus-j ing wrecks and disaster. ! Gov. Jackson announced his inten-j tion of preserving order and preventing, the capture of any trains in Iowa, andi in company with'Mr. Hubbard started' for Council Bluffs in a special train, over the Chicago and Northwestern.) Before leaving Gov. Jackson tele-; graphed to Adjutant General Prim.j who is in Cherokee, to report for| immediate duty and through Mai. J. R.< Prim issued orders to the following companies to assemble at their armories and await marching orders: Company 6, Third Regiment, Creston, 40 men, Cspt. w. J. Faggsn; Company I.

Vandalia, 111.--General Frye and his arm camped here last night. Ever since their arrival here the men ar­ gued strongly that they could make no headway walking, and many of them being sick and worn out from their long journey declared they would go no further on foot. It appeared the men censured General Frye for not making a greater effort to get trans- Eortation, and this morning tnoy voted y company to throw General Frya overboard and elect a new general more in sympathy with their ideau. The vote showed a very slight major- ity in favor of retaining General Frye. Then the men opposed to following General Frye openly declared thoy would go no further with him. Shortly before noon General Frye started on the National road east, followed by about 200 men. The remaining 166 held a caucus and decided to seize the first Vandalia freight train east and ride as far as possible. -! ' v Vlnette's Armr Is Arrested. San Bernardino, Cal.--In response to a call from Colton for help Sheriff Booth, with forth-eight deputies armbd with shot-guns, went to Colton to ar­ rest the second Los Angeles regiment of the army of the unemployed. After quietly leaving this city the army under Captain Vinette marched to Col­ ton and during the night took posses­ sion of a Southern Pacific freight train. The engineer side-tracked his train and refused to haul the men. Upon the arrival of Sheriff Booth and posse, the army was ordered to get off the oars, which command they refused to obey. The town hose cart was then drawn out and water from the city*" waterworks was turned on the men. They did not leave, however, until tho army was placed under arrest to a man. Coxey at Mspslllon. J. S. Coxey, the leader of the com­ monweal of Christ, who so suddenly disappeared from the ranks of the army at Addison, Pa., on Thursday, made his appearance in the streets of MasslUon Saturday morning. Mr. Coxey arrived there Friday night, and was driven directly to his home. When questioned about his commonweal, he answered that it was a glorious suc­ cess, and that Washington would be reached without trouble of any kind. ml >F REPRE- To Bo Vaccinated or Quarantined.

This was agreed ta Senator Smith, of New Jersey, made an earnest speech, which was devoted en­ tirely to an attack on the Income tax. At the conclusion of Ur. Smith's speech ths Senate adjourned. . x& Tbe House devoted the entire day Wednesday to debate on tbe consular and diplomatic appropriations bill. It touched a wide variety of subjects and at times was brimful of interesting personalities. The Hawaiian policy of the pres­ ent administration came.. In for a good share of attention. The ap­ pointment of Mr. Van Alen a? minister to Italy provoked a very extended discussion. The bill authorizing the erec­ tion of a stone bridge across the St. Louis River, between Minnesota and Wisconsin, passed the Senate. The venerable Senator Morrill, of Vermont, spoke cn the tariff, as did algo Senators Turpie. Cameron, and Quay. Mr. Harris, at 5:10 p. m,» moved an executive session and it *»« agreed to, and at 6:30 the Senate adjourned. The day in the Senate Thursday was al­ most entirely consumed by a speech against the pending tariff bill by Senator Perkins, of California. But little business was transacted during the morning hour, the agreement of the Senate' to the report of the conference committee oa the urgent deflciencv bill being tbe most important. The Peffer resolution for the appointment of a committee on com­ munications for the purpose of hearing the grievances of Coxey's army was debated by Senators Spooner and Alien, both ol whom favored it. but it went over without action by the expiration of the morning hour. At 5 o'clock eulogies were pro­ nounced on the late -Representative W. H. Enochs, of Ohio, after which the Senate at 5:15 adjourned. Tbe House Is making very slow urogress with the diplomatic and consular appropriation bilL Almost the entire day was devoted to thrashing over the old straw In the Hawaiian controversy. After 4 o'clock half the membership of the House suddenly faded away to attend the opening ball game of the season, and when this act was ob­ served Mr, Cannon carried the committee of tbe whole to a vote on an amendment to prevent the increase of the salary of tbe Mexican Secretary of Legation. The Dem­ ocrats were unable to produce a quorum and after a roll call the House adjourned. There was a passage at arms, figurative­ ly speaking, between Representatives Bur­ rows and Wheeler Friday. Mr. Wheeler was taunted with talking four columns of the Congressional Record In precisely one minute and retorted that protest came with bad • grace from one whose hands "were red with parliamentary murder." Mr. Burrows recalled a previous example ol Mr. Wheeler's fluency, a speech that oc­ cupied five minutes In the delivery having taken up fourteen columns of the Record. A motion was made to refer the »ubject to the Committee on Printing, but Mr. Wheeler cried quits by asking leave to withdraw his remarks. Outside of this episode the proceedings were very uninteresting. Practically no busi­ ness was transacted. Under the rules, it being Friday, the day was devoted to business on the private calendar. Three small, unimportant bills were passed, and the rest of the day wus^spent in the fruit­ less discussion of a bill to settle some Ten­ nessee war claims against the Government amounting to $22,000. It was finally ended when Mr. Enloo made the point of no quo­ rum on a motion to recommit the bill. The evening aes«ion was devoted to pension bualnesa Tbe Senate talked tariff. A Song Wins a Battle. Instances are recorded where the tide of battle was turned by a song. One case occurred November 6, 1792, when the French under Dumouriez en­ countered the Austrians at Jemmapes, in Belgium. The day was going dead against the French when Dumouriez ran out to the front and l'aised the "Marseillaise." Forty thousand voices instantly took up the chorus, and in­ spired hy the magic of the battle song, tne French rallied and fell so furiously upon the Austrians that the tide of battle was completely turned and vic­ tory given for defeat. • ^ v, The Sultan's Expensee. ; ; The Sultan of Turkey is the most ex­ travagant housekeeper in the world.
