officials, and perhaps they are actuated by a fear that the Nlcaraguan government would not confirm those contracts, which Are extremely favorable to the concessionaires. I dctm this fear groundless, however. I do not doubt that Nicaragua is so anxious to pet and retain peaceful possession of her own territory that she will confirm all existing concessions or grant new and equitable ones In their stead. It is also possible that Nicaragua has not been altogether gentle or diplomatic in her seizure of Mosquito, but we should be very Considerate In judging those so ior.? outraged as she has been." "How about the Corn islands? Have they been ceded to Great Britain, or has that country been granted a naval station there'." "No; it cannot be so. I do not think there is any danger of that. Nicaragua would, no doubt, let the United States have them, and they are extremely important, for they command Greytown and the canal." L. G.

AVI XTK II W 1 1 IS AT. How It Wxim Affeeteil hy the Recent CIil Wnve-Avernur, NM.7. WASHINGTON, April 10. The condition of the winter wheat on the first day of April, as reported by the statistician of the Department of Agriculture, averages 86.7 per cent for the entire country. Last year the average was 77.4. In 1S92 it was 81.2, and for the year 1S31. The corresponding average for rye is 91.4 per cent. The averages of wheat for the principal States are as follows: Kentucky, S3; Ohio, 90; Michigan, S3; Indiana, 50; Illinois. 87; Missouri, 88; Kansas, 72; Nebraska. K, Iowa.87. The average date of seeding In the Ohio and Mississippi valleys was late, owing to 2ry weather. In general, however, the conditions of soil were not unfavorable to planting and germinating. Very little damage is reported from the Hessian rty, and that only in sections of Ohio, Michigan. Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. The weather from seeding time until the recent cold wave swept over the country, except In cases hereafter noted. h?s been very favorable to the growth of the plant. In the Eastern, Northern and Northwestern States snow covering has afforded protection In addition to that of a mild temperature. The returns in regard to the effects upon wheat resulting from the recent cold snap are not so satisfactory nor so conclusive as desirable. The injury to the crop is undoubtedly considerable, if not great, but the comments of correspondents accompanying the reports would seem to indicate that the full extent of the damage was not generally determinable at the date of the transmission. In the Eastern and Northern States the damage was comparatively slight. In the South Atlantic and routhern State i the injury is marked and decided, with perhaps the exception of Texas, while in the States of Indiana, Mlchipn and Kentucky the injury from frosting Is considerable; the extent of some is contingent upon future meteorological conditions. The returns indicate that freezing, to the ground was quite prevalent, especially in low nnd rich, moist lands, but with roots left untouched, or at least alive, with good prospects of recuperation on the recurrence of favorable weather. In the States of Kansas, Netrarka and California the Impaired condition of the crop has not resulted so much from the frost as from cold, dry weather. High winds are also noted by Kansas correspondents as one of the causes of unfavorable conditions. Rain is much needed in these as well as other Important wheat producing States. The condition of farm animals, together with the estimated losses, will be, as usual. In the forthcoming. April bulletin. IV EW AM) OLD INVENTION'S.

Entliuftinntlc Meeting of Railroader In Ileltnlf of the eiv Order. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BRAZIL, Ind.,. April tlO. An Immense mass meeting of railroad employes was addressed at I. O. O. F. Hall last night by George W. Howard, cf Chicago, vice president of the American Hallway Union. The speaker insisted that the present federated unions existing In railroad circles were not adequate to bring around the desired results, and insisted on the employes joining an order that would encompass the wants of all classes. This, he claimed, the American Railway Union would do. After he finished talking short speeches were made by several prominent railroaders, who approved the theories advanced by Howard. The large hall was packed to overflowing and over two hundred railroaders quickly jointed the new order. Many engineers became members, notwithstanding the by-laws of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Kngine3rs prohibit members from Joining other orders. FEE AND SALARY LAW. JatlKe "Wiley Hold It I'nooimt Itutlonnl In Denton County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FOWLER. Ind., April 10. Judge Wiley, of the Benton Circuit Court, to-day d2clded the fee and salary law of 1S91 of this State unconstitutional and void in that it omits to Include the treasurer, auditor and recorder of Shelby county within its provisions. The recent decision of the Indiana Supreme Court in the case of Sheriff Henderson, of Vigo county, involving the fees of sheriffs, in which the law was held constitutional, was largely commented on. In the case to-day the treasurer of Benton county declined to turn into the treasurer's fund the surplus receipts of his oliice, over and above his salary as provided In the 1S31 statue, and the court holds that treasurer?, auditors and recorders are entitled to the respective incomes of their offices under the statute of 1879. The decision Is of far-reaching imjortance and effect in Indiana, and is a victory for the association of county officers recently organized to fight the law of 1891. A BRAZIL ANARCHIST.
