Today Senator Paddock submitted ai an
amendment to the agricultural appropriation
bill n provision appropriating $35,000 for con-
tlmilnu nnd enlarging the education of people
ple In Europe m the use ot our Indian corn
for food purposes. Last year congress ap
propriated but $3uOO , for the purpose and
Colonel Chariot J , Murphy , the special agent
of the Agricultural department who has for
omo years been showing Kuropo how to
tnako "Johnny cakos" , " ( lap Jnrks" , mush ,
corn bread , etc. , has had n hard row to hoe ,
lie has kept steadily on with his work but
has not made the progress ho wanted to
make.
Senator Paddock bos roeclvod a number of
letters the past few days from prominent
merchants and boards of trade urging him to
uie his Influence In securing n decent appro.
priatlon to enable the Agricultural depart
ment to carry on the work of Introducing our
corn products Into the markets of Europe ,
among them being letters from Thurbor ,
Wblland & Co. , Importers of Now VTork , and
Evan Thomas , president of the Now York
Board of Trade. Both ot these firms apeak
from actual Knowledge of the splendid Held
Europe affords for disposing ot our nurplus
corn , provided the army of agents be 1 n
creased from ono man , Colonel Murphy , to
the proper slzo to cover too ground In n more
rapid manner.
Itlll llrnnllt
They state that if n proper appropriation
bad been made two years ago our exports of
corn , and the products of corn , would have
been so much larger than this as to have
made a very appreciable difference in mar-
Kct prices Colonel Murphy , who bos bean
for years making corn cakes , corn puddings
and other articles of food from corn In tno
streets of Paris , Berlin , London and other
largo citloi of Europe , has written the Agri
cultural dcparmont an account of the manner
In winch tils labors have been received , and
bos pictured a magnificent foreign market for
every grain of our corn nt a much larger
figure than It It receiving today if the oppor
tunity Is only embraced and the Held worked
up properly. Ho says the only form in wlucn
our corn is known on the British isles as a
food artlc.o is corn stnrch ; that the
prejudice against corn meal Is so strong In
England that whenever it is sold It Is under
the brand of something else : that our corn in
any form in most places in Europe is con
sidered simply an article for horse and cattle
food. However , ho has been very successful
wherever ho has gone in eradicating that
Impression. Wherever cornmeal has been
bolted nnd sold as Hour or starcn it has Doen
well iccoivod and is popular.
Wlmt G'liiBH It Now Itcuohei.
The process of bolting or manufacturing
Into stnrch has made It very expensive ,
taken together with the fact that it is not
\voll known and there is nut a heavy do-
rrt'and for it. Thus , while the Intent is to
furnish a nutritious and cheap breadstuff for
the artisan and laborer , an article has been
produced which is only demanded by these
who can afford luxuries. The thing needed
Is education to eradicate the prejudice and
teach the common people how to use corn.
Such n thing as canned corn is known to
very little of Europe. It Is believed that
with nn expenditure of $ > ,000 to $30,000 a
year for three or four years u market will be
created In Europe for all of our surplus corn
nnd the senate Intends to force this fact upon
the house so strongly that the latter cannot
refuse to concur in the appropriation for en
larging our corn market.

iludgu Grcilmm and the Alliance.
There was considerable amusement among
Illinois congressmen today over a telegraphic
announcement In the local papers this morii-
lag that Judge Gresham \\ould bd a presi
dential candidate , as ho was meeting with
great favor among farmers nlllnncamen. It
was the general Impression that Judga
Gresharo would not permit the use of his
nnmo in such u connection. Ono Illinois con
gressman said , bowovor , that ho hnd good
reason to believe that Judge Gresham was
not onlv willing to bo the standard bearer
for the farmers alliance , but was actually
working through bis Intimate friends toward
that end. The congressman said that bo had
visited Kansas and Nobraskalastfall and hud
found a decided Greiham sentiment among tbo
alliance men. Ho bad taken pains to llnd
out how tbo sentiment started , and bo
learned to his satisfaction that it was due to
the talk of men closely IJon tilled with Judge
Gresham.
"U was clear to mo at that time , " said the
Illinois congressman , "that Groshain's '
frlonds were endeavoring to have this
farmer's organization start a Grosbam boom
in the west , which would have Us influence
taken up in the east , and the dispatch this
morning announcing thai Gresbam and Polk
are to bead tbo alliance ticket corroborates
my view.1

GREAT 3UNSPOTS.
What a Crolghton Cullcgn Astronomer
of thn Solar UUttirlmncen ,
On the 4th ot February ouo of the largest
sunspots which has boon soon for twenty
years appeared on the east limb of the sun ,
In latitude 303 , south of the sun's equator.
A few dav > later It could easily bo scan
without tbo aid of a tcloscopo by protecting
tbo eye with colored glass. As it moved
across the disk ot the sun during the twelve
days it was visible , It displayed Itself in a
group of spots of unusual activity and extent
of surface. The great spots were typical
ones , for they consisted each of the usual
dark nucleus with the loss dark leveling or
penumbra. Two of these nuclei , united In
tbo same penumbra , were from slx-
tcnths to eight-tenths of a minute of
are In diameter the sun's entire diameter
spanning thus thirty-two minutes of arc thus
giving for tbo dimensions of the largo single
penumbra 72,000 bv * 1,000 miles , while the
total area disturbed by the erouo was 135,000
miles long and 80,000 miles wide. A bolter
idea , perhaps , will bo formed of this great
hole In the sun by imagining our four inferior
planets , viz : Mercury , Venus , the Earth , and
Mars arranged In n line , and again eight
others ot the same slzo added. Those twelve
planets might walk abreast Into the
chasm without grazing the Hides. No wonder
that in this , as In former cases of
great sun spots , the giant group has been
accompanied by violent nnd extraordinary
magnetic disturbances ( such as have not
been observed for ton years ) and by brilliant
auroric. These auroras uro reported from
all parts of the old and now world.
An electric storm accompanied tbo aurora
on February 13. Between 5 p. m. and 7 p.
m. Iho storm was at its ueight , and Inter
fered with the working of the telegraph sys
torn over a considerable section of Iho coun
try. ' 'At intervals during the auroral dis
play it was found possible to send messages
between Albany and Now York without the
aid of tno regular batteries , " says the Chicago
cage Tnt-uno. In Sweden and Russia earth
currents seriously affected tbo operation of
the telegraph linos.
Tbo extraordinary group of sun-spots dls
appeared on the western limb of the sun or.
February 18 , but reappeared on the eastern
limb about March 1 , followed by another
group. Since then tbo clouOy , stormy
weather which vlsl'od Omaha interfered
materially with observations at the Croigh
ton college observatory. The beautiful
weather of April has revealed that though
tbo solar disturbances have not lessened ,
but rather increased , In activity , almost du
plicating their extent , the suu'a face is
blotched by tbreo spot groups in higher
southern latitudes. The period of minimum
sun-spots of two years and a half ago is beIng -
Ing succeeded by a period of maximum spots
in the Columbian year of IsOJ.
There are certain supposed connections of
the sun-spot period with terrestrial phe
nomena which are of interest. Sir William
Hershol collected quite a mass of statistics
tending to show that tboro was an "intimate
connection between the number of sun-spots
nnd the price of corn , the latter being low
when thoio were few spots mid high when
they were more numerous. His conclusion
was that the fewer tbo spots the more favor-
no o the solar rays to tbo growth of the
crops. This theory has not been confirmed
by subsequent posorvations and will locoivo
Its death blow trust in this '
, wo , year's plen
tiful crop. There is , however , great reason
to believe that the frequency of auroras and
magnotlu disturbances is subject to the
eleven-year period corresponding to that of
sun-spots , these occurrences being most
frequent whou the spots are most numerous.

Against a P rttmi Argument * to

LiscotA' , Nob. , April 11. | Speclal to TUB
BEI : . ] The attorneys concerned in the
prosecution and defense of Captain A. D.
Yocum , who shot nnd killed Myron Van
Fleet at Hastings on the 2.M of last Febru
ary , appeared before Governor Boyd this
nftornooa with petitions for and remon
strances against the extension of oxocutlvo
clemency in the case. General A. H. Bovvon ,
who was Cap'.aln Yocum's principal counsel
In the trial , opened the case and brlnlly re
viewed the circumstances of the unfortunate
affair. Ho laid particular stress upon the fact
that the testimony wont to show that during
long and continued absonca of Captain
Yocum from the state the deceased deliber
ately nnd repeatedly sought to accomplish
the ruin of Alice Yocum , both by persuasion
nnd by force , that In shooting the traducer
of his daughter Captain Youuin was actuated
by an Incontrollablo Impulse that amounted
practically to insanity of an emotional
nature.
County Attorney Hosppnor , who con
ducted the prosecution , followed with an ap
peal to the governor to stick closely to the
record In the trial of the case , which proved
only the fact of the homicldo. Ho argued at
length to prove that the action of Yocum
was deliberate , intentional , and that ho pro
ceeded In n cowardly manner by shooting
down a man from behind his back.
W. P. McCrenry , also for the prosecution ,
followed County Attorney Hooppnor. Ho
attacked the matter contained In the heading
ot the petitions and assorted that not one-
tenth of tbo signers had the remotest Idea
of the true facts of the case.
K , A. Batty , for the prosecution , road a
number ol remonstrances from leading citi
zens of Hastings against the pardon of
Yocum. Among the letters read wore those
from E. C. Web tor. treasurer of the NebrasKa -
brasKa Loan and Trust company ; Miiyor
Ulttonbousc , Councilman Fisher and nx-
Postmostor Evans.
General C. J. Dilworth , department com
mander of the Grand Army ot the Republic ,
made the closing address of the afternoon for
the defense. Ho denied that the governor
should stick closely to the record ot the trial ,
and assorted that the governor was not ap
pealed to as a Judco , out as an executive ,
who rightly had the power to intcrnoso bis
clemency in the matter. General Dilworth's
orgumont visibly uftcctcd a largo number of
those present , especially a largo nuuibor of
ladies who had brougnt petitions on their
own account. Eio appealed not to the stern
austerity of the Judge , but to the warm heart
of the father , who , Undlng no protection In
the law for tno honor and good name ot hi *
daughter , takes upon himself tbo infliction
of adequate punishment.
Attorneys Caste of Hastings and Harwood
of this city will continue the arcumoutboforo
governor Boyd tomorrow at 11 o'clock , the
former for the prosecution and the latter for
the defense.
The petitions presented to the governor
today were very voluminous and contained
nearly 8,000 names. Petitions were presented
from twenty-live counties of the state. A
'
delegation 'of prominent ladies of Lincoln
were present this afternoon and ono or two
ladles of state wldo reputation will make
personal appeals to Governor Boyd tomorrow
in behalf of the wife and daughter of tbo
convicted man.

The case against Walter Clark and Henry
Smith , accused of the robbery of a number
of Lincoln merchants , came before Judge
Hall this forenoon. Clark failed to appear
and his bond of $2,000 signed by C. N. Crandall -
dall was declared forfeited. Smith pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to three years in
the penitentiary.
H. W. Ziuk , under arrest for embezzle
ment , was arraigned. He entered a pica of
not guilty and bis trial was set for April IS.
On a former trial for tbo .same offense ho
was convicted and sentenced to the peniten
tiary for two years , but ho succeeded in
getting a now trial.
Gcorgo Motz nnd Robert Shepherd were
brought into court on tbo charge of hog
stealing. Thojr will have their trial

Klght of Way Complications ,
A petition was filed In tbo district court
this afternoon by L. L. E. Stewart asking
for an injunction to restrain the KOCH Island
Kallroad comnanv nnd Messrs. Moutgoraerv.
McClay , Gllliland , Schilling : and Hartley ,
the right of way commissioners , from ap
praising his property near Seventeenth and
Vine streets. Ho alleges in support of his
petition that on January U , 1892 , Judge W. E.
Stewart appointed a commission to np-
praise tbo right of way , and that
their appointment has never been re
voked nnd that consequently they are the
only ones authorized to make tbo appraise
ment. Ho alleges further tbut the Uock
Island Is not the real party interested in the
appraisement , but that , a syndicate of prop
erty owners have given a bond to furnish
right of way and terminal facilities in East
Lincoln for a specified amount , and that the
proceedings in condemnation are engineered
by this syndicate. The hearing of tbo cuso
was set tor tomorrow.

Dr. L. A , Merrlam had performed the au
topsy and snld that the organs were all In
splendid condition and showed none of the
usual effects of alcoholic victims. There was
no sign of any hypodermic Injections in the

the uutonsy , but from the history of the case
supposed death was caused by paralrsls of
the heart , brought on by hoavv drinUing ,
though there wore present none cf the usual
organic sign * of alcoholism.
Mr. Mullen testified that he uad known
deceased for tbroo years , bad soon him on

CHICAGO , 111. , April 11 , A eloper confi
dence game has Just been broken up hare by
the nu-cat of two bright young men who
have boon working It. A few days ago the
police en mo in possession of n circular boar-
lug the lottor-bead : "H. N. . Hoyal A ; Co. ,
Now Orleans , Now York , Chicago and
Om nhar financial standing f 1,000,000 , , " dated
Chicago , April' ' 1 , and offering to arrange
matters BO as to enable the person to mnko
$1,000 without n cent ot cost to himself The
only thing required in return was "absolute
secrecy , " to insure which the sender In
closed two oaths , exactly nllxc , ono of which
was to bo signed and returned. They agreed
to send by express full particulars how to
secure $1,000 as soon as the oath , pronorl/
signed , was. received. In conclusion the cir
cular said ; "Wo will withdraw this ofler
unless wo hoar from you Monday , April 18.
Send oath by express mid bo sure to i/ay the
charges. Wo will explain why this is neces
sary In our next letter. Wo presume that
you would not object to receiving $1,000
through a letter. Do not use the mail , but
send nil communications by oxnrojs. "
It was thought that the scheme was a
time-honored groou coeds game. Detectives
visited every express oRlco and found that a
great number of express packages were
being forwarded to it room at 815 Clark
street. Yesterday Detective MoDonnld cap
tured n young girl alond In the oftlco. She
did not Know what business was conducted
in the room , as she had only been employed
slnco Thursday to recclvo packages. She
dla not Unotv the name of the man who had
employed her , as she had secured the posi
tion In answer to an advertisement in a
newspaper.
Just then a woll-drcs'ied young man with
a Drown mustache walked in. ' 'Tint is the
man who employed mo , " the girl said , nnd bo
was at once arrested bv the detective. At
the central station the prisoner snld his
name was La Dumas , but from letters found
on him it is bollovud that his nnmo is Fred
erick G. Bonflls. After a long session in
Captain Shea's inner oftlco the man broke
down and told the details of his scheme.
Bonnis' lodeiner room nt 2010 Wabash
street was visited by the detectives and a
bright young man , fashionably dressed , was
nrrcsteel. In the loom were found 11,000 lot
tery tickets in exact Imitation ot tickets of
the Little Louisiana Lottery company for u
drawing May 19 , 189. . Tno capital prize
was to bo $300,000 and they assured the
buyer thai ' 'a ' larger per cent ot prizes are
given in this lottery than in any ether lottery
on earth. " Both men aclcnowlfdgod that
thny had everything ready to send out the
tickets anu reap the harvest. Bonllls came
Irom New York in March last nnd the men
nro bellovod to have worked their swindling
scheme in the east. Bnntlls Is said to bo a
graduate of West Point and to bo a member
ot a prominent family in Missouri.
