Preparation* tor the tilth CongreM to

me sixth annual congress 01 the
Scotch-lrish society of America will be
held in lies Moines, Iowa, from June T
to 10, 1804. Not only members of the

historical and social. It is entirely
non-sectarian and non-partisan.

ily grown in numbers and influence
until it is now one of the most power
ful organizations of its kind in exist
ence. Perhaps no other organization
of its size in this country has a more
distinguished and influential member
ship. It has been welcomed to the re
spective states in which it has met by
the highest official authorities, and it
assembles here upon the invitation of
the highest officers and the strongest
organizations in Iowa.
As the prestige of the society in
creases with its age, each succeed
ing congress is an improvement on
those that have gone before; and the
meeting at lies Moines is therefore ex
pected to be the most successful gath
ering of the race yet held.
The addresses of welcome will be de
livered by Hon. Frank 1). Jaekson,
governor of Iowa; Col. John Scott, pres
ident of the state society. Among
other distinguished speakers who will
deliver addresses will be Rev. Dr. John
Hall of New York, Col. William Pres
ton Johnson of New Orleans, Judge
John M. Scott of Bloomington, Hon.
John A. Kasson of Des Moines, Hon.
Frank McCrary of Indianapolis, CoL
John H. Keatley of Marshalltown, ex
Senator McMillan of Minnesota, Con
gressman Bryan of Nebraska, W. C.
dray and Rev. Dr. Hamilton of Cincin
nati and others whose names will be
given to the public at a later date.
Reduced railroad fare will be secured
for all visitors and all who attend may
be sure of a hearty welcome and warm
hospitality. Preparations have been
made on an extensive scale to entertain
visitors whether members of the so
ciety or not Those who wish to be
come members, however, will find this
an excellent opportunity to join. The
only requisites for membership are
Scotch-lrish blood in any degree, good
character and nominal dues with which
are furnished free the valuable histor
ical works issued by the society. For
information concerning the national
society address A. G. Flpyd, secretary.

MISSOURI CROP PROSPECTS.
Fruit Is Generally Killed, Wheat and
Oats Very Much Damaged.
Columbia, Mo., April 7.—Secretary
J. R. Rippey, of the Missouri state
board of agriculture, says in his re
port to the board:
“Crop reports received at this office
April 1 were prepared just prior to
and during the severe aud almost un
precedented freeze of the latter part
of March. To that date most satisfac
tory conditions existed.
“W'heat was estimated at 95 per
cent of a crop and only 1 per
cent would probably be plowed up.
Later reports say that wheat
was injured by freezing to the ex
tent of 25 per cent. None or very
little was killed, but the
young vigorous growth was frozen
to the ground and the plant is thought
to be materially injured. As to the
oats, the condition of the ground for
seeding was excellent and the acreage
compared with 1893 had increased 4
per cent.”
“Prior to the freeze it was esti
mated that 77 per cent of the apple
buds were alive, 21 per cent of the
peach buds, 81 per cent of the straw
berries and 78 per cent of small fruit,
all of which is now changed. Small
fruit, strawberries, peaches and early
apples have been ruined and the late
apples were barely saved.”

SENATE MINORITY MAKE MANI
FEST THEIR POLICY.
DILATORY TACTICS INAUGURATED.
No Quorum Present When the Session
Opened—Fetter's Speech Begun but
Not Finished—The Turilt Bill Not
Yet Bend In Full in the Senate
—Lively Tilt Betweeu
O'Neill and Morgan.
Washington, April 9.—The policy
of delay of the minority in the senate
was made manifest yesterday, when
before the conclusion of Thursday’s
journal, Mr. Chandler (Republican)
made the point of no quorum, and
the roll was called, showing four sen
ators less than a quorum were present.
After a delay of fifteen minutes four
senators dropped in to complete the
quorum, and the reading of the jour
nal was concluded, and the routine
business was proceeded with.
Among the petitions presented was
one from thp* millers of St. Louis,
which was presented by both the Mis
souri senators, praying for retention
of the reciprocity clause of the Mc
Kinley law.
An interesting test of strength was
developed by Senator Hill’s motion
that when the senate adjourned it
should be until Monday. The Repub
licans jumped at the idea and sec
onded the motion and even Senator
Harris’ request that the motion be
withdrawn, had no effect, so he de
manded the yea and nay vote, in
which demand he was seconded by
Senator Vest
As the call progressed it became
very evident the vote would be close,
and when it was announced, 25 to SO,
a sigh of relief escaped from the Dem
ocrats.
MISSOURIANS CLASH.
Lively Tilt Between Morgan and O’Neill
In the Howe.
Washington, April 9.—The house
went ahead with appropriation bills
again yesterday. Some routine busi
ness was, however, first transacted.
A lively tilt occurred between Mr.
O'Neill, Democrat of Missouri, who
was seated last Tuesday, and his Dem
ocratic colleague, Mr. Morgan of Mis
souri. Mr. O’Neill rose to a question
of privilege and read from a news
paper an interview with Mr. Morgan,
in which the latter explained as his
reason for voting against O'Neill that
there had been an agreement between
the contestant and contestee in the
case to let the plain intent of the
voter count “Mr. O’Neill could not
break that agreement,” Mr. Morgan
was quoted as saying, “without dis
honor, and he asks too much when he
asks us to join him in dishonor.” Mr.
O’Neill denied that he had entered
into such an agreement with M r. Joy,
as was represented in the interview.
He made a statement and conclnded it
with a protest against the treatment
he had received.
Mr. Morgan replied: “I had hoped
that we had had enough of the O’Neill
Joy contested election case. I had
hoped Mr. O’Neill would be content
with devoting himself to the duties
Mr. Joy was elected to discharge.”
He avowed the authenticity of the in
terview, and read from the record to
show that Mr. O'Neill had violated his
agreement.

Topeka, Kan., April 9.—The state
board of school fund commissioners

Hamilton county he placed them with
$60,000 of similar bonds held by the
jEtna Insurance company, and suit
was instituted in the federal court for
their collection.

gard to the intended coin

Fenian plot having its ramifications in
New York and other American cities
existed with the object of killing him.
