WASHINGTON , May 31. Senator Van Wyck
will loftvo In a few days to spend the summer
at homo. Ho has remained hero mainly for
the purpose of endeavoring to ascertain the
policy of the new administration relative to
land grants , the Indian country encroach
ment of cattle klnis and the Illegal fences ,
Van Wyck is confident that the commissioner
of the land office Is dlapoiod to carry out in
the full spirit the laws relating to these sub
jects , and ho thinka that the administration
in its own time will concur with Commissioner
Spirks. There is such tremendous pressure
of ofiico-seokers , however , that there Is great
delay , and so much time may bn occupied In
peddling the places that the interests of the
people In this direction may bp neglected.
Being Hiked whether the resolutions reported
to have been adopted by the republican sena
tors In caucui , as to their policy with respect
to confirmations wore accurate or not , Van
Wyck said : "I did not attend all tbo cau-
cutes , but I think that if such
action had boon taken in my absence
I should certainly have been informed of it
afterwards. Another reason for my disbelief
In the publication is that 1 think the repub
lican senatorj would have moro sense than lo
wrltoor formulate such an idle resolution as is
the second , that in case any democratic par
tizan causes the removal of an efficient repub
lican and receives as his reward for causing
such removal the nomination as successor to
the decapitated official , such nomination will
not bo confirmed. No , sir. The general dis
position of the senate was to treat tha preti-
dent kindly and fairly rn the democrats did
the republican pretident. "
Senator Merrill , of Vermont , on being ques
tioned on the Eubject , said : "I would piefer
not to talk about it , but I will say simply
this , that If I were editor of any paper I
would not think It worth taking the least
notice of. "
"lam satisfied , " said Senator Dolph of
Oregon , "that such resolutions were uover
passed. I don't care to ay anything further
hnn that. As for considering that political
reasons would be regarded as sufficient causa
for the removals by republican senators , 1
can only speak for myself , I believe that if
federal officials who have a term of office to
run : bo removed for cause the senate would
consider it had n right to look into tbo
reasons itself. Of course this is my own
individual opinion. I can't say what the
senate would do , Til3 truth is that the sub
ject of the future action of the majpitty in
relation to the nominations wus discussed
io caucus at different times , but no definite
line of policy was adapted. It was
found that the republicans differed among
themselves , Some contended that so long as
the senate was republican It ehould do all in
Its power to keep republicans in office. Otheri
boldly declared that the democrats hat
elected the preildent and were entitled to
the offices. About tbo nearest approach to
any fixed policy was the action taken in per
mitting eases of one or two democrats nomi
nated to succeed republican collectors of revenue
nue but recently appointed , to ( to over with
out action. It seemed to the view of tbo
majority that the republican collectors who
were but recently Installed ought not to be
displaced , but tint no objection would bo
made to removals of collectors who had eervec
several years. It will remain with the
senate to fix the policy with regard to tbo
nominations of next winter. "
Congressman Mills , of Texas , is here. Ho
is a blunt , plain , sincere man , and an enthim
aitic free trader. He believes that the demo
cratic party is the party of free trade , am
does not propose to bridle his tongue out o
any consideration for expediency. Ho say
that he has prepared a tariff bill which h
will Introduce at the next session. It id b. free
trade bill , Ho was opposed to Morrison *
horizontal bill and favors no concos
lions on that subject. Mills ia no
repared to speak npatntt the administlon
ut he evidently will bo one of the leader
among southern men against the protective
tariff nud national bick policies , which , It I
clear , thf Cleveland administration will adopt.
This declaration of Mills Is ono indication o
the congressional breakers which ate ahoai
for the administration.
The visit of Congressman Warner , of Ohio
the famous silver mau , is another indlcatloi
of the comicg storm , Warner is an aggros
eivo ellvcr mun. Ho decs not bellev
in the policy of suspending tbo coinage. U
does not iuilorso tha vlwwj of the admiulstra
tion on this subject. It was to Warner tha
the president's letter ou diver was addretsod
and the radical men in tba democracy liavi
never been satisfied that Clove Mid nhoulc
have outlined a policy upon that subject before
fore bo delivered hia innpgural , Iho admin
istration will find itself iii sharp antagonism
to very powerful elemental in its party on
financa , bank nud tariff questions.
Dr. Uaroctt , of thia city ; , is a close personal
friend of Jefferson Davis , and dining the
brief career of the confederate president wai
his family phyticiau and most constant at
tendant. Whdo attending a recent meetiiif
of the American medical association at New
Orleans , Dr. Gainett vUlted Davia. In dp
scribing bin visit , Garnett Is thus reported ii
the Star to day : "In hi * physical condltioi
ho exhibits much loia the impress of tlmi
thtn 1 had expected to see ; Is quite as crec
in person ai formerly , walks with a firm ste |
and speaks with the tame clear , distinct ant
emphatic articulation which dlatlcguishod hi
style in early days. In the COUKO bf our con
veraatlon during the day , Mr. Davis alluded t
the present condition ol the country by eaylnj
that ha knew nothing1 uf the present oxecutiv
and that he had not vet progressed far onougl
with the administration for him to form u :
opinion of It. Ho sopmed satisfied with th
members | bf the cabinet ( elected from th
south butwasnotdisiiofed , I thoughttoontti
Uln a very hopeful view of auiQ future , ns h
said that the ; respect , love , and veneration fo
the constitution which animated citizens o
the United States before tbo war bad no\
departed from our people and that the tyt
torn of government erected by our forefather
existed only in name ; that there were element
uf disintegration and and disruption at wor
In our midst which could only be restore
and held in check by force ; that the underly
ing and fundamental principles upon whlci
our system of government was erected , Bin
upon which tha constitution , as it wai befor
the war ro.tnl , were test becou-ing absolute ! ;
f orcrottcn by tha old men and never learnei
by tha young ; that umler the rule of republl
canlim , during the war nud subsequent to il
the constitution was made a rope of sand an
that while thia parly , of bo-called libers
idttu , waa proclaiming iinlver * ! freedom an
equality on the one hand they wera tearin
down and blotting out the very kafeguard
which alone under our form of gorerumec
could secure it to them. "
" 1 asked him If it was true , " continued th
doctor , "that he had authorized any petitio
to bo presented to the federal authorities t
have his disabilities removed. He repliet
very emphatically , in the negative , and adclo
that he had written an * open letter to th
author of that petition , cillicg his attentlo
to tha fact. He said that he Tiad at all tlmt
been perfectly willing to undergo a trial ,
tht government thought proper to bring o
tuch an luue , provided ha was to be tile
strictly under the provision * of tha constlti
tlon. "
The era of democratic limpllclty haa ci
yet fully returned , The president In nil h
moves evinces dcsiro to avoid mixing with
he common herd , ana Ukes every occajlon to
hunthe people , vo when absolutely obliged
o meet them. It was announced , for ins
tance , yesterday , that ho would leave for
New York at 10 o'clock t night , and a small
rowj gathered to see him , but ho left nt 4
'clock. Ho did not travel as other passen-
ers do. In an ordinary car ; on the contrary

resident of one of the bloated railway monop-

iretty well understood In government
itcles that neither ot the New York
iblnct officers Manning and Whitney
leiires to stand as a candidate for
ho nomination for governor of Now York ,
rimy remember Folger , but It is now believed
n the inner circle of Now York politicians
hat Manning and Whitney have ngrecd to

as to the advisability of bringing out Flower ,
t aocms that the days of the barrel are not
ot to end.
Friends nf the administration nro free with
heir charges that the president has been do-
cived by congressional delegations , Charges
now extend to Michigan , Colorado , Kentnclcy
and to some members of Virginia and South
'nrollna , and the following Incident Is
vouched for by a good democratic authority :
A remarkable exposure of attempt to palm off
an unfit applicant occurred in Secretary Man
ning's office the other day. A United States
enator had In tow a man confirmed in Intern-
lerato habits whom he was pushing for an in-
ernal revenue appointment. A gentleman
rom the state who knew the applicant went
o sea tha president and laid the facts before
ilm.
ilm."I wish you would lay tbo facts ] before the
ocretary of the treasury , " said tbo president.
The gentlemen reached the socretary'd of-
Ice to find the senator and his bibulous
riend in consultation with Manning , . Ho
tiled the latter poraom.go aside and said that
ho candidate was a druuiard ,
"Well , " said Manning , "you say you can
lubatantlato your charges Suppose wo settle
he matter right hero. " Bringing ttuso via
tors together ho told the gentleman to state
ilsclmgnln the presence of tha candidate.
The candidate wilted and confessed that the
charge was true. Ho withdrew his nppllca-
. ' \on \ and returned with bis senatorial friend ,
The latter was not at all abanhed by the ex
posure , and recommended another man who
sroyod to bo under indictment
In another casn where a treasury
appointment was made on tbo recommenda
tion of several congressmen. Secretary Man
ning learned , after the commission had been
mailed , that the appointee had been indicted
for quite n serious offense. A dispatch de
manding hia resignation forthwith nipped an
other scandal in the bud.
An application for an important appoint
ment in the railway mail service is pending

APACHE OUTIlAGtS ,
THE FAMILY OF COL. PHILLIPS HORRIBLY MUTI
LATED THE INDIANS REACH MEXICO.
DEMING , N. M. , May 31. Nine of Goroni-
rno's band of Indians succeeded in crossing
Into Mexilco , A band of twenty-five'crossed
the Southern Pacific track ninety-five miles
west of this place yesterday , heading for
Mexico. They followed the old trail over
which the Indians have passed on thtir raids
Into Mexico for years. The soldiers were
camped about seven miles from the trail for
several days , notwithstanding they know the
Indians would travel on the old trail to reach
Mexico , and could have killed or captured the
entire band. So for the present the raid may
be considered over on this side of the border.
The two bands will probably meet at Caaa
Grande. Reporta that the Navajos and Mes-
caleros are on the war pith are unfounded.
SILVER Cur , Arizona , May 39. The bodies
of Col , Phillips' family , murdered by the
Apaches , have been brought in , all horribly
mutilated. The daughter had been hung up
alive by meat hooks stuck in the back of her
head. Mrs Phillips' ores were gouged out ,
oars and .breasts cutoff and otherwise brutally
manpled. The citizens are frantic that such
outrages should ba perpetrated without
check.

Special Telegram to The BEE.
LONDON , May 31. After a week singularly
deficient In political interest romos thia morn
ing's announcament in the Dally News that
Russia has accepted the English counter pro
posals regarding the Afghan frontier. This
statement , made on the highest authority ,
practically settles , says the New * , in a satis
factory manner the whole question , Marachak
and Zulfikar puues remain Afghan posses
sions. The statement is probably true. It
serves the ministerial organ as a text for a
comic sermon on the wickedness of these who
bavo criticised the libar.il government's for
eign nollcy. The liberal ministry after sur
rendering everything else to Ku sia lias suc
ceeded in saving two bits of territory belong
ing to its ally. The liberal organ thereupon
congratulates the nation on having obtained
everything It could fairly demand. It declares
that Gladstone has crowned his illustrious
career once moro rendering to the country a
signal service.
The force of the pathos could go no farther.
Tbo truth Is that the very existence of the
dispute is almost forgottsn since
ENGLAND op BUSSIA WOULD NOT FIOUT
over thii more remnant of desert. The Eng
lish , hardened to humiliation , rather expected
the ministry to make ono moro concession
and are moderately grateful for bsing spared
the last straw. The arbitration question la
still open.
ROSSBKRRY'S VISIT TO BI3UARCK.
Lord Boseberry's visit to Berlin was , until
this morninp , the chief topic of the lust few
days. The Times published on Tuesday a
long telegram from Paris purporting to give ,
on the authority of a person arriving from
Vienna , an authentic narrative of what was
happening- Berlin. The Pall Mall Gazette
has summarised thia acc-nnt as Bismarck's
notice that England wan to ba turned out of
? ' < ypt , the Soadan , and Afghanistan ,
havlnp missed her dance in each
and becoming a nuisance to Europe.
Efforts have been made to represent Roae-
beny's mission to Berlin as an appeal to Bis
marck's forbearance. It bore no such charac
ter. It was equo'ly ' inaccurate to describe it
as wholly unofficial. It la not due however ,
to the strain of the present situation. Rose-
berry was going at easter , but was prevented
by his brothers death. lie discussed politici
with Bismarck , doubtless heard the plalu
truth about England's childlike behavior In
Egypt and elsewhere , and probably received
assurance that the finance question In Egypt
would be settled on a reasonable basis. The
papers in every country of Europe publish re
ports of the interview , mostly the merest
guesswork.
REMODELED EGYPTIAN ISSUES.
The Egyptian question Is obviously enter
ing a new phase. This governmenfnever ex
hibits BO much energy as when having re
sponsibilities. Guards remain in Alexandria ,
but everywhere else the troopa are moving.
The Red Sea coast seema likely , upon the roa
fusal of Turkey , to ba handed , over to Italy
regardless of ita enormous importance 1-
relatlon to India , except the strip between
Ras Hafoon and Sylah ( the southern coast of
the Gulf of Aden ) , of which the Indian pov-
ernraent takes charge.
Bitmarck is reported afresh to favor the
restoration of leraael as khedive of Egypt.
It is certain that Ismael Is pushing his claim
morejvigorously than eyor before. The bank
ruptcy of the country ia rather more iinmi
nent than usual. Edgar Vincent has arrived
in England to make a last effort to prevent
the actual stoppage of payments ,
AFFAIRS IN SCOTLAND.
Scotland is devoting Itvialf with energy tc
ecclesiastical matters. The general assembly
has been in session all the week. M. Earl , ol
Aberdeen , ns lord high commissioner , holdinc
high estate at the Holy Rood palace , is enter1
talning the assembly and the rank and faahior
of Midlothian with something more than vlce <
regal splendor , Tbo free church assembly has
been sitting at the sama timo. Both bodiei
have been debating disestablishment , one be
ing unanimously against It , and the other ii
favor of it. The question has reached th <
stage where it is practically agreed that ii
must bo left to the people of Scotland to de
cide it.
AtCGLO-PARISAN INTEHESTH.
The English press has been much occupied
during the past week with oventa in Paris
It has been much amated at the timidity o :
the Bmson ministry in dealing with the an
arcbist riots and the red-flag quotation a
Victor Hugo's funeral. The English fail ti
understand why communists should beallowec
to manifest respect for Victor Hugo by rals
in ? a disturbance over his grave. The belle
that a conflict is likely keeps many Intendinj
visitors at homo.

MI8E THE IBISII SITUATION PERSONAL
LONDON , May 30. To-day is the dulles
news day London bos had for months , Ther
seems to be nothing going on worth even talk
ing about. All the statesmen , whoso action
generally furnlch the staple political newt , 01
cept Gladstone , are away enjoying the Whil
suntlde ] holiday , and the premier is resthif
even from talking ,
AFGHAN ECHOES ,
The liberals seem to be satisfied with th
Anglo-Russian situation. The conservative *
however , appear to be crowing over it. It i
generally believed among the politicians tin
Russia baa agieed to allow the A'ghanistai
claims to bo both ZulQcar and Maruckah , ]
does not appear , however , that the czir he
agreed even provisionally to any treaty blcdlo
him to refrain from further advancing , Man1
efforts are being made tosecura from him sue
an agreement and their failure tends t
strengthen the conviction that Russia ba
simply dickered In order to save tim <
and that she Is determinei to con
tinue her progress southward. Tli
conservatives find in thia state of affairs
subject for deuunciuticg Gladstone's mat
ageinent of the dispute. Tory papers declar
that unless Russia gives England a guarant
against further advance southward , couple
with n pledge to retpect the independence c
Afghanistan , there can be no probability c
any durable peace. The general public , o
the other hand , seem to place the most irr
pllclt confideute in Gladstone's statement
tint peace is assured. Under the prospei
) t held out by this assurance , a general an
manifest improvement is going on in the In
dustries of the countries. All the buildlc
e
and transportation trades are busy. Fan
laborers are In demand , both at home and I
the colonies. The emigration returns eve
show a perceptablo decline ,
DILKE STILL HIMSELF ,
Sir Charles Dilke , the troublesome radici
member of Gladstone' * cabm t , ard the heo
it and front of the rebellion against the renew
of the crimes act , has not , it appears , bee
converted by the earl of Spencer , the Irli
viceroy , The lord lieutenant lias assist *
t- toward the renewal of the bill and it is gei
10 erally thought wai the main influence whlc
g I induced Mr , Gladstone to CJTOnit the goveri
mcnt to a renewal of the policy when Sir
Charles Dilko rebelled against the renewal
and succeeded in splitting iho cabinet on the
question. Tha premier managed , it Is said ,
to have him Invited to Dublin to attend meet
ings ot.tho commission on housing the Irith
poor * . Ai n ministerial visitor to the Irish
capital , Sir Charles , as n matter of course ,
became the guest of the viosrsy at Dublin
castle and the hope waai that Spencer would
bo able by showing him the Irish situation
in some new light to at least mitigate hti po
sition toward the government' * announced
program on the renewal policy. But It seems
that Spencer's missionaiy work had been in
vain and Sir Charles returns to London per
fectly Intractiblo. The rccult will undoubtedly
bo abackdown on the part of the government
which will probably get out of its dilemma by
introducing a harmless renewal bill to romtin
In farce about three months ,
HARTINOTON'H DILSMMA.
There can hardly be a doubt now that the
marquis of Hartington , secretary of war , the
other ministarial holiday visitor tj Ireland
found himself , on n personal examination of
the Irish situation , unable to justify the gov
ernment's attitude on the renewal and that
this fact lies at the bottom of the indisposition
which ho gave as the reason for canceling all
his engagements to make speeches throughout
the Ulster district

Shortly before noon the station policeman at

hich arrived at the depot ten minutes before
10 train was due. The train being ; delayed ,
was subsequently learned , by ineffectual
fforts to captuio the lunatic , tha police were
reed to wait for moro than an hour. After
msiderable anxious ( peculation as to the
ndition of things on board number sir , the
dicers were finally anything but reassured
y a dispatch from asuburban station warning
icra that the madman
WAS AHMED AND WOULD RESIST TEUIUBLY.
A little Inter number six appeared in sight

A NUMBER OF WARNING NOTHS
in quick succession. People hanging half
ay out of the car windows were seen to ges-
culate wildly to the crowd. Before the
.rain had como to a standstill a half dczen
asaengers jumped to the ground and fled ,
loking back with blanched faces. Officer
arrett was the first to observe the lunatic ,
iarrett was standing near the rear end of the
imoking car. Tbo madman with leveled re-
olver glared at him from tbo front platform
if the chair car , the length of one car distant.
3arrett turned hnlf round and stooped in-
tantly , but too late.
A BALL FIIOU THE LUNATIO'S REVOLVER
Struck him In the stomach and in a few
minutes he was dead. Ono look at the ma-
lac was enough to eatisfy any one that while
is ammunition lasted he would not bo taken
live. Seeing thia the officers after removing
; heir wounded comrade , began a fusllado
hrough the windows of the trucking car
here the madman had taken refuge. After
minute or two he plunged out onto the plat-
orm , tired a couple of shots into the crowd ,
eaped from the train and dashed down
ourth avenue. Officer Lauehlln started in
, ot pursuit and at him the lunatic fired ( the
ast shot In the weapon but without effect ,
" 'he maniac stopped there and awaited
laughlm's coming , with pleamlng eyes and
rothlng mouth They clinched , the officer
tripped his prisoner and they both fell , the
madman meanwhile beating Laughlln un
mercifully onj the head with his revolver.
The officer was in citizen's clothes and was
let upon and terribly pounded by an excited
colored man who mistook the officer for the
rleonor. The rest of the squad arrived
ihortly.
THE MANIAC WAS SECURED
, nd taken Crit to a cell and then to the bos-
ital to have his wounds dressed. When ho
: eallzed that further resistance was useless
, he prisoner grew calm and said qulta ration-
illy that his name was Louis lleaume ; that
lie was thirty-three years old and he was en
route to hia home in Detroit from Denver.
'Tho train men of number six tell a thrilling

gloomiest views which have boei
advanced concerning the winter wheat th
outlook for 1885 must now be accepted as th
most accurate. 'J ho promising conditions c
1885 have thU season been completely re
versed. The absolute uniformi'.y of the ri
turns indicate that the outlook for the wlntei
sown wheat this year Is the worst In ten yean
and it may be now set downai potitive tha
under the most favorable conditions the toti
winter and sptlcg wheat yield la to full con
iiderably under tlio short crop of 1881 , whe
the total product wai 84,030,000 busheU.
"With the exception of Michiganand Oregon
gen and Washington territory the cause
leading to decrease output winter wheat ai
almost identical. In Ohio , Indiana , Illlnoii
Kansas and Missouri , the ground was bare c
mow during the severely cold weather at tb
cloie of winter which was followed by cole
dry winds later on. There was also a dc
creased acreage owing to the low prices whlc
prevailed for the crop ol ItSI. In Ualiforn !
the decrease acretge was accompanied by

"When the ttatoi era considered In detail
the situation can bo appreciated.
" Illinois Fifty-three per cent of the entire
wheat crop of the itato bos been plowed nud
moro wou'd lm\o been plowed had not the
ground been sivrn to clover and grass. A
very lirgo proportion of the wheat that Is
heading out proves to bo cheat , and there Is
no probability that broad and seed will bo <
made in southern Illinois this year. Pour
entire counties in the central and south
ern tier have been plowed up , and In
olpht other counties tlio crop is reported
as an entire failure. The average condition
of all the counties of the itato do > s exceed 40
per cent , of the yield of 1881 , based upon the
fields not plowed up.
' Kansas The latno conditions which exist

"Missouri The stata presents the same

"Indiana-In portionsofjnorthern Indiana
fliero is a promise of an average yield , tut in
the southern portion of the state the outlook
Is not moro premising than Ohio and Illinois.
The yield of the state will ba about ' 15 per
cent of lait year.
'Tennessee The winter wheafprospectR in
the state have been running down steadily
for thirty days , and the latest rid vices Indi
cate that the state will not harvest one-fourth
of tlrtcropof 1881.
"Kontncky In a few counties of [ Kentucky
10 wheat crop promises to ba fair , but the
iturns by counties Indicate that the crop
ill not exceed 50 per cent of last year ,
"California , Oregon and Washington lorrj-
fy Tha prolonged drouth in California
is very greatly Injured the prospects for the
rowing crops In that state. Edwin If.
mith , Fecretary of the state ngiicultural
iciety of California , h's computed the yield
that state at 25,000,000 bushels , while
regon aud Washington territory , under im-
iroved conditions will turn out 19,200,000
lushels , an acreage of 42,200 against the
.ggrrgato of C8,7CO,009 for the Pacific coast in
884 , or a shortage of 26,500,000 bushels for
lie Pacific coast region. "
"Michigan This state is the only one in the
'inter ' wheat bolt ta-day which elves the
remise of an average yield. while the
' Inter wheat In tlio other states wa ; barn of
low the wheat in Michigan was well pro-
ected and covered , to which causa ia to be na-
ribed the present promising condition cf the

er cent of an average yield.
' The winter wheat yield for the present
oar will not exceed L'00,000,000 bushels , and
absolute per centagos from the most trust
worthy sources indicate that the yield will
'all somewhat under the figures given. "
Turning to the spring wheat , reports of the
utlook are altogether more promising. Full
eturns from Nebraska show a slightly on-
&reed acreage as compared to last year while
In Wisconsin and Minneeata the decrease in
iCioiga will be about 10 per cent and while
he condition is about 05 per cent the aero-
go of Dakota is about 8 per cent loss than last
ear and the condition fully equal though
be season is from ten to twelve days later.
The probable ] spring wheat yield , based upon
lontinulng favorable reports will be 130,000-
100 bushels. The total crop of the country
, from the present outlook will ba
rom 320COOCOO , to 330,000.000 bushels ,
igninst an average yield for the past five
ears of 461,000,000 bushels.
KING CORN.
ROP PROSPECTS IN THE NORTHWEST DUGS

Ipecial Telegram to The BEE.
CaiCAGO , May 30. The Times this morn-
ng prints an extensive report of tbo pros-
ccts for the corn crop of 1885 throughout the
orthwest :
In Illinois the area of corn will bo larger
ban last seas on , owing to the large extent of
heat that was winter killed. The season
ince planting begun has been cold and un-
'avorablo ' for the growth of corn , and n ma-
ority of the farmers have been compelled to
eplant two and three times. The root worm
aa dona great damngo to corn this season in
lortions of Central Illinois. Prof. Forbes ,
tate entomologist , reported to tbo state de
partment of agriculture to-day that ho had
uat examined a field of 100 acres of com that
had been completely destroyed by this Intect ,
f which comparatively little is known , The
jupply of o'd corn in the farmers' hands is
quite limited , owing to the cold and long
winter , which necessitated the feeding of
nearly one-third more than the average
ieasons.
The spring Benson opened rather lata in No'
braaka , but corn planting was little , if any ,
later than usual. The early spring days woic
not growing , but suitable for plowing , anc
the corn was planted on timo. In tin
southern portion the plant is further ad vancet
than elsewhere and will escape the woedi
better than In the western portion. The acre-
a'ge Is much in excess of previous years , sinci
many now settlers have como in , and more o
the land is under cultivation in these newe
portions of the state. Very little of las
year's crop remains iu the hands of fanners
In Missouri tbo prospect is also very favor
able. A much larger acreage has been put ii
corn than last season , because of failure o
wheat fields , many uf which are plowed ui
Corn Is generally up nnd growing finely
Thcro is considerable old corn in the couutrj
at least 23 per cent of last year's crop. Wit
a favorable season the new crop will bo 5
per cant , greater than last year.
Iowa promltes about an average yield ,
In Kansas and Wisconsin the weather hn
delayed the corn , although both states repot
a slightly larger acreage ,

NKW YOUK , May 31. The failure of n bank
at Philadelphia further increased the surplus
of idle money hold by Now York banks ami
reduced the bank clearings nt loading centers.
Several largo failures and n tendency to lower
prices for moat of the grout staples have
added Interest to the state of trade problem.
The most that can bo said for it is that for the
first time the different producing countries of
the world hava been fairly brought nlorgsido
of each other In full competition. It is dally
becoming moro plain that \vo nro now moro
near t the effect of the competitive principle
than wo have over before boon. The Indica
tions nro multiplying that in its fulfillment
thia much denounced competitive principle Is
to have n wonderfully lasting and distributive
effect. Socialist writers have denounced it as
the one effective way of making the rich richer
and the poor poorer , little thinking the opera
tion of n social principle must ha judged by
fulfillment nod not by its incidents. It is n
fact that einco 1683 the wages uf Now England
cotton operatives , mcnsurod in standard shoot
ings , have been Increased , while money wngoa
and time employed have decreased. Figures
provo that tinea 1883 the wngo.receiver in the
New England cotton trade has boon
gradually ucroachiug upon the capital *
Ists and tha that portion of prlca sot
apart to profit has been constantly
decreasing. It is plain then , that now , when
the capital of American shareholders Is being
picked out and diatilbutod over the earth In
the shape of cheap lood , the thing to do is to
wait for moro light. When the ground shall
have been batter cleared there will bo time
enough for marking out the land. At present
the Indications point to a falling state of the
trade barometer , . . . . . . .
During the week I have been in Philadel
phia. Talk there Is for considerably lower
prices In the iron trade , notwithstanding the
present prizes nro the lowest ever reached and
now conlimationa.'como from Plttsburg na to
; he overturning power of the now Clapp-Gtlf-
fith steel process which promises not only to
antagonize Bessemer steel , but to revolutionize
the whole iron trade. Its gMat point is that
puddling is to bo largely done away with , the
werk of the puddlere being done by ma
chinery. Ores high In phosphorus , heretofore
of little avail , are to be utilized. This will BO
far to stop the importation of foreign ores.
From the south como statements of improved
cotton-handling machinery , and altogether
levelling Influences of various sorts are com
ing Into view. The failure score ia nt a very
hiffh point for the let of Juno.
I pointed out last week that the way IB so
dark to loading railway managers that they
are appealing to the general Interest for pro
tection from each other. Another
week has not helped matters.
XCho roads themselves have apparently aban
doned all intention of reorganizing the peeler
or trying to maintain rates. Joy Gould's ap
pearance and efforts in the field as peace
maker between warring lines seems so far
destined to produce but. slight results. It
has only made more prominent the fact that
the New York Central , having carried the
fight to a point where the borrowing capacity
of the receivers of West Shore seems to end ,
ia not disposed to make peace until its
rival is thoroughly crushed. Attention
is alee directed to the tlmilar , though
not so pronounced relations of all the other
trunk lines. Lackawanna& Brio are having-
almost the some kind of a conflict , their lines
paralleling each other all the way from Bing-
hampton to Buffalo. The Baltimore & Ohio
has invaded the Pennsylvania's best territory
and is rapidly completing its line from Balti
more to New York. The Vonderbllt south
Pennsylvania road meantime is being pushed
on and parallel the main line ot the Peansyl-
vanla. If to these influences are
added as the Vanderbilt invasion of thePenn-
sylvania's clear field the bituminous region ,
the ixlatenca of low-rato freight contracts
running for many months which all tbo roads
have made and the entire demoralization of
passenger rates , it does not appear likely that
any meeting of presidents or resolutions to
restore rates can successfully overcome them.
