CHICAOO , April 7. The following Is the Tanners Ituvlewbummaiy of the wheat crop up to April 5 : Growing winter wheatenters the second of the spring months undei con ditions scarcclj' , if ever , better. Tills appears to be tine liom a close study of the icports ot all the winter wheat states , with the excep tion of Kansas and Michigan. Tlio former state appeals destined to have veryueaily a lepelltlon of the slioit ciop ol last jcar. Only tvvo of the counties embodied In the latest le- poit make tavorablo ictuins , vvliilo the ro- nmiudor Indicate that ne.ulv all the fields show the efleet ot w Intel killing. In Kills county thu outlook Is so pool thatalicady some of thu fields have been plowed up , and the only fields which appear to have escaped liani the blight ing effects of tlio alteinate thaw Ing and tiec/lng vvcio those wheio tlio grain was sown amonnst corn. The Michigan outlook is not entiiely lavorable. Manvot tlic fields aio icfoited looking tiiovvn and dead , and in many instances the crop lias been pionounccd n failure. While the output promises to bo considerably short ot the "bumper" crops of the last tvvo jears , thrro is still nroinlsoof a liilraveiage jleld lu that state , uepoitstium the remaining wlutei wheat states am al most unlfouuly good. The fields In Ken tucky , Tennessee and Missouri pieseut a very favorable appeatance. The plant Is healthy , ami with plenty of molstuie there remains nothing at piesent to Uneaten the crop. Steuljon countj' , in In diana , icports that the injury Inflicted by the lly in the fall , and by freezing , causes some of tlio lichls to piesent an unfavorable appearance , with the prospect ol not to exceed a half average crop. The remaining indications me , outlook good and above the average throughout the state. In some southern counties of Illinois , winter-killing Is re potted , but In the main the leport is favor able. It i p Jits Irom the Pacific coast aie gen erally of u glowing charactci. Taking tlio countiy at largo , theio is not to exceed 5 pel cmitot thu ciop but whit passed thiougli the winter safelj' .

TOE ARMY BILL DEFEATED , The Senate Rejects the Measure After a Long and Heated Discussion , VAN WYCK SPEAKS AGAINST IT. Ho Declares tlio Proposed Increase to bo For the Itcneilt of Monop olistic Slave Owners A lilt \vith A Lively Contest. WASHIXOTOX , Auril 7. In the senate , the army bill was taken up and Mr. llawley took the floor and spoke In Its support. Thuargumcnts for the luciease of the arnij1 , Mr. Van Wyck thought , vvcio rather singu lar. Some senators had said that It was wanted because of the Indians , and some be cause of the communists. The senator from Connecticut ( Havvley ) had siid that hovvant- cd the army to suppoit the ohII law and the constitution , Hefeirinc to the IngitlveHnvo law and Its execution In Xew Kngland , .Mr. Van WJCK said the United States aimy had been thrust In the way of the fugitive slave. Hcclng for life and liberty. Ho asked whether Now Kngland had changed since then. then.Mr. . Havvley replied that It had. Mr. Van Wjck said the aimv had donn pohco duty In keeping the fugitive slaves from fiecdom. Mi. IHvvlej'iemaiked that he had never bellvcd tlio fugitive slave law to bo consti tutional. Air. Van Wjck said the secret ot the whole matter was to bo found In the Idea of using them my lualn ns a gieat poltco povvci to keep slaves In slaveij' . Jay Gould and his -confederates , and Vamleioilt nnd his confed- 01 ales , had been allowed to steal millions just ns men , undei the old Interpolation ol tlio constitution , had been allowed to steal from tlm black man his blitlnight. "You have raised , " said Mi. Van Wvek , "another class of slaveholder , just as unrolontlng and deteimlned , and steeled against the instincts ofliiimnnlty , as the old slaveholders vveio , and I thl k , a little more so. The Knights of Labor , " he continued , "had no sympathy with the commune. " Mr. Locan said the bill had been Intro duced her * lour times already , at different sessions of the senate , and It was thciefoio beneath any man to say that it was brought here because of Gould or Vandcibllt , U was as low as the cries ofdcmngoguism that no man ought to stoop to it. Mr. Van Wjck Is that all ? [ Laughter. ] Mr. Logan That Is nil. Mi. Van Wjck said this was the old atftu- incut. Ho lemcmbi'icd that in the old davs In the liousool icpicscntattvcs it was not the gentlemen of thu south alone that had stigmatized " . " Ceitain matized men as "demauosucs. gentlemen fiom the uoith had also , in their day , stigmatised men as "demago uca. " Mr. Van Wyck , leforring to the decisions of the supreme couit upholding tlia fugitive slave law , said that tiie court decided cases accordIng - Ing to the wishes of the omnipotent powers of the times , and as coiporatlons vvcio now the omnipotent powers , the decisions were In their favor. "Strikes" of labor Mr. Van Wjck regarded as like the stilke of Anthony Hums when ho struck lor llbeity. Mr. Van Wjck remarked that It had been said that there was domestic danger In this country. Had not that dancer been met and passed ? Why Increase tlio icgular array to meet the danger tliat had dkappearedV 1 Air. Logan Bald It whs not true that G'ouTd had auvconnectlon , diiect OL Indued , with the measure. It was foi the benefit of tlio people , rich and poor , black aud white. Mi. Van Wjck , Interrupting , said he had not charged that Jay Gould or any other man had. anything to dp witli it. He had merely told what the result would be. 13Mr. Logan asked why , then , was thcnauio used In connection witli the argument , brought liom the recent dlstiubanccs , but to create apicdjudlcongalnstthe advocates of tlio bill. He ( Logan ) had always had a Iiamo , and hoped God had given hiui the honesty to advocate what ho believed to be right and oppose what ho thought vvionc. Ho had never lived by drinking soup that fell from the lips of demagogues. If Iheio was anj thine detestable in the Mchtof honest men , itwasailian that floated around the world as a demagogue , who lived upon the flatteries of those who didn't understand him. him.The vote was then taken upon the motion of Senator Hale to strike out section 2 of tlio bill. This Is the section which established the futuio aimy fojco at .TO.OOO men. On this motion the yeas weio 2J ! and nays 22. The vote being a tie , Mr. Halo's motion was lost.

Mr. Manderson then moved , as nn amend ment , ills bill heretofore intioduccd and fav- oiably icpoited from tlm mllltaiy committee , known as "the three battalion bill , " and it w as agreed to. Mr. Gibson moved for an additional section repealing section 1'Jia of Ihe Ilevlscd Stat utes which , note prohibits any person who served In the confederate government from appointment In the aimy of the United States. Mr. Logan thought It might not be well to go too far. Ho thought that In the cjes of the people theio were certain peisons more capable than others. Theio were men who had been olllceisol the army and navy heioio the war , aud had emend Iho seivlcu of thoconfedeiacy. Ho would suggest nn amend ment of Mi.
