IWASHisoToar, April 10. The official statistical investigation for April; makes a I reduction of winter wheat of 3,500, 0Q0 acres from the breadth , seeded two years ago, and five per cent ; reduc tion from the area seeded a year ago. Op the Atlantic coast there has been a very slight reduction and none on the Pacific coast. The largest decrease is in Illinois, Kansas and Missouri. The comparative areas 1 seeded in the princi pal States are: New;York 97, Penneyl vnia 98 Ohio 99, Kentucky 95 Mich igan 99, Indiana 95; Illinois 85, Mis souri 92, Kansas 84, California 99, Ore gin 103. In eompaison with the breadth harvested last year there is an increase. A$ moderate degree of protection by snow . has been enjoyed, though the covering has neither been heavy nor continuous. Winds have laid bare ex posed surfaces and covered the ;valleys deeper. Winter-killing in patches is therefore reported to some extent, while it is generally found that brown and apparently lifeless I plants have '! their rpots uninjured. The general average of condition is against 76 last year (the lowest ever reported) and 94 two" years ago. The average ofr 1883 was 80 and that : of 1881 was M The condition of the States is as follows : New York 98, Pennsyl vania 99, Ohio 94, Michigan 93, In diana 96, Illinois 86, Missonri94, Kansas 88, California 100. The condi tion of the soil for autumn seeding was favorable in four-fifths of all the coun ties. The exceptions are more fre quently in districts of small production. In the Ohio valley and in the -Middle States the seed beds were in good con dition in nine-tenths .of the area. In Maine and Kansas there was at larger proportion ef dry areas and one-fifth of the reports were unfavorable. In Vir ginia and the Caxolinas one-sixth of the irea seeded was not in good condition; in Georgia one-third; in Texas three tenths1. In at least five-sixths j of the In tire breadth of winter wheat the con dition of the soil was favorable Xpr seed ing, germination and early growth. : f The damage to wheat by the IHasian py is indicated in scarcely one county in twenty in the (.winter wheat rezion. Its presence is deemed worthy of men tion in sixteen counties of Indiana and eight of Illinois. I In Ohio and Michi- ksn and also in Pennsylvania and New aork it u resDeouvelv reported in jfour to six counties. The damage has os oeen serious. The returns of the oondition knd dis eases of farm animala show an increase bf prevalence of hog cholera and i the loss of 6,000,000 if twine fronv all Isauses, or 14 per cent The losses of orses are small, ; amounting tri 2-10 of lone, per cent.

The fires are now under control. . Fif ty freight oars, the Scale house, and a lumber yard were completely destroyed by fire. The round-houses and shops wore partially saved. No railway offi cial are around to direct the troops where they will be most needed.- The fires were all incendiary. They started about 9 o'eloek last nigt. Large crowds of strikers and citiseas collected in groups all over, the ity,, and are still determined to have revenge for yesterday's massacre. PuSSm: sentiment is running high. Firemen and engines were sent from St Louis to help, dui ineir nose was cut. ana the men intimidated. They returned without being able to render any assistance. bt. Loris, Mo., April 10. The ex ecutive board of the Knights of Labor, when the news of the shooting reached them, proceeded at once to East St. Louis and there conferred with a num ber of citizens and got the.general opin ion as to the aflair. After advising every one against violence the board re turned to this side and prepared the following telegram and sent it out as the expression of the board s opinion of the affair: St. Loto, Mo., April 10, 1886. To Jat Godld, Nxw York: The following advertisement appear ed in many of the leading papers of the 7 th insM ' Louisvillk & Nashtills B. B. Co.. Ornca Aoxnt, April 6. 1886.

How well this advertisement has been answered is seen by their work of today in East St. Louis. Six men and one woman were murdered by those Who had nlentv of rrit and meant bnainem. By your action in refusing the peaceful negotiations solicited by the board I for arbitration, you and you alone must be held responsible by the world for the lives of these innocent people. ; ' ; (Signed) John W. Hats, Per order of board. East St Louts, April10. 8:30 a h. The city has been in a state of panic during the entire night, owing to J the numerous incendiary fires, but with the presence of the military, which is guard- ing aii tne mam lines 01 tracx ai- verging from the relay depot, some thing like order appears to promise for the day. It is impossible at this hour to more than approximate the damage done by the fires. They were all con fined to railroad property, and the offi cers sent with the troops report that about twenty to thirty cars were destroy ed, loaded with merchandise and coal. The greatest damage occurred at the Cairo Short Line yards about one mile from the' relay depot where probably fifteen cars were destroyed and the flames for the time threatened the destruction of one or two hundred tears in the immediate vieinity. The yards were unprotected by the presence of active deputiesor officers of any kind un til company D, of Champaign, arrived the scene of the fire, and it was per mitted to Wrn at its will. Two mem bers of this company were found : who could fire and run locomotives,; and a switch engine being placed at their disposal they succeeded in dragging away from the burning cars fully: one hundred box and coal cars. Three com panies of troops from Greenville. Paris, and Champaign are now stationed st the .Louisville & .Nashville and Cairo Short Line yards. The main body of the troops beyond a few Bentries station ed at the railroad switches remain in the vicinity of the relay depot. No Berious opposition of any character has beset the troops. , East St. Louis, 10.10 a. m. No die turbances of any character has occurred since 5 o'clock this morning. At a ton of the railroad crossings and street cor ners there have been small gatherings of discontented men, but they are quietly dispersed by . sentinels. The sheriff has dismissed all his deputies with the exception of three or four men and is dependent entirely on the: troops for protection 8t. Louis, Mo., April ft, The scenes after the firing by the deputy marshals on the mob are as follows: About half su hour after the shooting an excited and angry mob gathered in the squnre be iween ine cuv nan auu mu pouco sta . .1 ' . 1 11 J 1L. I T . tion. A man named Dwyer, a gambler, in no way connected with the strike, became a centre of a crowd, who cheer ed the inoendiury statements which he uttered. He urged the men to f'hang and kill," and was in the midst of an appeal to the mob to follow bint to the Ohio and Mississippi depot to "hunt for' deputy sheriffs," when John W. Hayes, a member of the general executive com mitte. Knights of Labor, M. 'O'Neill and Knight of Labor Brown arrived from : this side. Brown mounted the stairs leading to the station and-; yelled at the mob for attention, but the in furiated men answered him with ''Hang the ours 1" "Kill them !" Bay?s, who was standing at Broirn's side, turned to a prominent Knight and asced bim to - introduce Brown to the mob as the rep- reseotative of the general executive c jm- mittee. The man replied in a frighten ed manner, "If I do they'll hang me." frown turned 00 him and iftty. "Yeif if yoU don't they ought to hang you." Turning to the mob, which kept np tie cry to :Kill! kill! and burn!" Brown began an impassioned appeal for quietv; law. and order, nd by the sheer torce of his earnestness riveted the at tention of the crowd, but only for a few m'nutes at a time, for they would break away from the epell of his eloquence and take np their revolutionary yells. - Mr$: crown said: -'Men and .Brothers Fo GydV sake keep quiet. I im- ploreDyou, in the name of humanity, in the name of the great order of the Knights of Labor, in the name of every aw, both of -the order and of your coun try, to restrain yourselves and do no violence. Remember that you are our sworn brothers. Do not forget that you are Knights and that you are pledged to obey the laws of the order and. the commands of your committeemen." : At this point Dwyer broke in: "Yes, why don't you talk for Jay Gould and be done with it. They shot our men down; and yon ask us to be quiet. I say, hang them." Ihe crowd took up the words,crying, "Bum, kill and shoot." Brown pointed his finger at Dwyer, and asked him. "Are vou a Knight of Labof ?" "No," answered Dwyer, "but m with them on everything, you can bet 77 "Eknew that you were not a Knight," said Brown: "I knew that no Knight would talk as you do. Again, brothers, I appeal to you. Oh,: what will the whole world think of our great order? Ail men who incite you to strike' are not true Knights of Labor. yThey are worse than the detectives of the railroads who re trying to hunt you down. Shun them) shun them as you would a mur derer." n While Mr. BroWn was sneaking com mitteemen Hayes walked excitedly up and down the platform, exclaiming in a desnairine manner. 'Oh. mv God ! Mv God I wish this had not happened !' His eyes were watery, he was almost crying, and when he addressed the mob after Brown his voice failed, and he' was obliged to pause for utterance. Hayes's speech was 01 the same tenor as urown s, as was also that of O'Neill, who follow ed Hayes. ; After a while the temper of the mob cooled down, and they -dispersed with! threats to avenge the deaths caused by the deputies. Mayor Joico issued a proclamation to close all sa- oon, and warning women and minors to keep1 off the streets. Sheriff Bopiequet telegraphed to the Governor for troops, saying he found it imposible : for pre serve the' peace with the police -and deputies, and received a reply front the Governor Saying that he had ordered a militia force to proceed to xast; St. Louis at onoe. East St, Louis, April 10, 1.20 r, m. A mani named Andrew Jones, a Knight of Labor, was shot yesterday and ia not expected to live through the night. ; He will make the eighth person killed thus far. , The city remains quiet. A walk through; the business and residence streets gives the impression' that it is deserted and dead, except that how and then small clusters of sullen men sre to be seen at street in tersections, watching, at a distance; the movements of the troops. The saloons are ail closed, and so is nearly every store, with windows and doors barred. The troops have been well distributed. in rplatoons and companies at the prin cipal railway yards and shops, and in . . .i .r.i 1 11 .1 tne vicinity 01 tne large elevators on ine eyee along the Mississippi river. Ihe total number of oars burned at the; sev eral yards was forty-two, representing total loss of about X32.UUU, exclusive of merchandise. Of fourteen cars on the Illinois & St. Louis road all were loaded and their contents were utterly destroyed. Nino coal cars and nine loaded box-cars on the Cairo Short-Line roads, near the river,: are still burning. More 'than 500 cars by actual count lined the five tracks and were 1 indisputably doomed to; destruction, They were saved by the arrival and prompt action of the s. i; Improvamaata st Oakwaad A reporter who viated this beautiful cemetery, whose many natural- beauties are being so greatly enhanced artificial- lv; was pleased to see toe notaDie 1m- pro vements this season, lhere are a number of new monuments and good work is being done in the way of curb ing lota. There is certainly a great dif ference in the appearance of the place. Mr. Fprest, who is in charge, says- he is setting; out numbers of evergreens, principally magnolias, golden arbor vitse and spruce. Mr. Forest says he cares for about 110 lots out of 210 in the Cemetery. While many of the lots are in a better condition than ever be fore, the neglected ones make an un pleasant contrast. Among new monu ments the one erected over the grave oi Mr. William Grimes is notable. It stands about thirteen feet in height and is of Quincy granite. In the southern part of the cemetery Messrs.; Goodwin & Hiss are doing some neat granite curb ing around several lots. A new bridge hts been built near the entrance to the cemetery. The lake at the northeast corner has been drained and will be filled in. ; Mr. Forest says that there are many thefts of flowers and ; that hya cinths are taken from graves every Sun day, i The practice is very reprehensi ble. ; He says that well-dressed people ake the flowers. featlienttarj Mesea. .

There are a few cold facts which the opponents of the Blair bill can put in their pipes and smoke. The people of North Carolina are overwhelmingly. almost unanimously, in favor- of the Blair bill and woe be to the men and woe be to the party that should consent to the undoing of this measure.:, It is a Democratio measure, inside and outside all over and all around, and has been endorsed by the party in convention and the party in the legislature and no present representative from this State who votes against the measure when it comes up in the House need expect to go back to Washington City. Because, if the covention should nominate him the people will not elect him. Wilming ton iteview. There are hosts of people in this sec tion who are in favor of the abolition of the' homestead law. It has become ob noxious to the more thoughtful and most virtuous of our people on; several accounts. For one thing it gives rise to the hurtful extent to which the mort gage system is carried, all know that the practice of giving mortgages is I : detrimental to the financial con dition , of the country.' It is obvious that the mortgage system would disap- tear with the abolition of the home aw. No proof is needed to show this. Furthermore, the homestead law is nb jeetionable to the best classes of our people because it is so demoralising in its influence. ; This, too, needs no de monstration. Every observing man has seen or felt the foroe of this objection. We once heard one of the most virtuous judges of the State, now gone to his re ward, say that the homestead law was, in his judgment, the most demoralising legal enactment ever made in North Carolina Monroe Enquirer and Ex press.
