London, May 9. The Times doubts if any documents or dispatches respecting the Anglo-Russian agreement of March 16th are sufficiently definite for the purpose of arbitration. Referring to a report from Vienna, that Herat is not mentioned in the negotiations between England and Russia, the Times says if tbe Government thinks the fate of Herat may be left to the caprices of the Ameer, the treasury of the local Governors on the success of a pre tender, the Ministry had better tell the country their opinion, and either give place to others more far-seeing, or ab stain from boasting of their money prestige and half-hearted measures which deceive nobody, and least of all, Russia. The Standard bopes the cruel and patronized blunders of the official messenger's statement win sting Gladstone into another speech worthy of a British Minister. Herat is now the main question, and a Russian pledge, however binding, which would only relieve us from a diplo matic squabble, ought not to prevent us from taking action to forestall eventualities.

Pacific Ocean Possessions. London, May 9. The Anglo-German International Commission, appointed to arrange terms of occupation of British and German colonies in the Pacific Ocean, has concluded its labors. It is arranged that British subjects shall be on a perfect equality with those of Germany in the Territory recently seized by the latter Powei, and Germans be on a perfect equality with British subjects in New Guinea. No differential duties are to be imposed.

The importation of arms, powder and alcohol is prohibited and Solomon, New Hebrides, Friendly and Navigator's Islands shall remain an open Territory. The status of Samoa remains unsettled. A preponderance of British trade is admitted in tbe Ellice, Gilbert and other groups of islands, and of German trade in the Caroline and Marshal Islands. There still remains to be arranged a modus Vivendi between Germany, America and England. Tbe Fiji Land Commission has granted 10,000 compensation to three German subjects instead of the asked.

Wants a Representative The Arbitration. London, May 9. A dispatch from St. Petersburg, says the Journal De St. Petersburg, today, declares thatRussia will shortly open negotiations with England for the appointment of a representative of the Russian Government at Calcutta.

The arbitration scheme is not makingas rapid progress toward its consummation, although Russia has not receded from her agreement to submit the question in dispute to arbitration yet it is announced that delay is likely to occur in the preliminary stages of affairs. Before the arbitration is possible it is necessary for both cabinets agree upon the specific details to be submitted to tbe arbitrator this may consume considerable time. A Sisnifteant Order. Suakim, May 9. General Wplsely reviewed the camel corps, composed of dragon guards, today.

He urged the men to perfect themselves in their novel duties, as they would be wanted on the Nile in Autumn. The speech is significant as indicating that the General is not in favor of the Government's policy of abandoning Suakim. 1 A Sadden Slide. Constantinople, May 9. An avalanche from the mountains near Lake Van Armenia overwhelmed a native caravan and caused tbe death of 68 persons.

Giving; Him a Salt Lake, May 8. Milton Musser, convicted of unlawful cohabitation will be sentenced to-morrow. He is defiant. Last night his neighbors gave him a reception and supper. The following resolutions were passed in his honor: Whereas, Our most worthy esteemed orother, A.

M. Musser, by loyalty to the commands of our Heavenly Father, by his provident paternal care of his family, has brought himself under the ban or an unconstitutional act of Congress, called the "Edmunds law," by a system of espionage instituted by corrupt Federal officials, in which apostate traitors, gutter snipes and the like have been employed, has been arraigned in the Federal Court, tried by a packed jury, and through the farce of an arbitrary, vindictive ruling, without any evidence to sustain the charges preferred against him, has been found guilty and now awaits the sentence of a Mission Judge. Resolved, That we few, his brothers and sisters, having noticed bis unflinching integrity under these dire evils and in face of tbe most cruel injustice, do commend in the highest terms his conduct, his true courage, his fidelity to his home and family, his love for principles of liberty freedom, religion and conscience as guaranteed by the Constitution of tbe Uuited States, and while we sorely regret to see the innocent suffer and the wicked rule and inflict its unjust-ness upon our brother, we realize he suffers for righteousness sake, and tbe volume of our prayers ascend to the Omnipotent Preserver in his behalf and by our faith and prayers will ever sustain him. Musser accepted the eminence thrust upon him, and said his religion is worth every sacrifice he could possibly make. Burglars Arrested.

San Francisco, May 9. James Martin and Thomas P. Wil son, expert safe burglars wanted for robberies com milted in Oroville and Princeton, were arrested here yesterday. In September last, H. C.

Bell fc safe, in Oroville, was blown open, and a small sum of money and negotiable papers to tbe amount of $19,000 were extracted. On April 12th of this year the safe of Nelson Butler, in Princeton, Colusa county, was blown open and 1,000 in coin and all the business papers of John Boggs, amounting to many thousands of dol lars, were stolen. The matter was placed in tbe bands of the police in this city. Toward the end of April, tbe thieves communicated, under assumed names, with tbe victims of their work. They agreed to return the papers of the parties if the stipulated amounts of money were deposited in certain places for them.

The places named were shadowed by the detectives, and by the aid of decoy letters both Martin and Wilson were captured. On the confession of Wilson, the papers of Bell Co. and Butler and Boggs were recovered, and $750 found on the prisoner was re turned to Butler, being a portion of the $1,000 stolen.

HAY 9. 1885 THE OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT CROP. THE The May report of the Department of Agriculture relates to the progress of Spring plowing and to the condition of the winter grain, meadow and pastures. It also re ports the prevailing rates of wages of farm labor. Spring sowing is everywhere late.

Last year at this date it was estimated to be two-thirds done, this year it is scarcely six tenths. The estimated average of a series of years exceeds seven tenths. Less than half this work is done in the Eastern states, than in New York, Ohio and Michigan. A much larger proportion is finished in the Northwest where corn, potatoes and other late crops are grown in smaller proportions. The injury to the Winter wheat crops was greater than appearances indicated on the 1st of Apirl.

The roots were killed in the central belt worse than was supposed. In New York the snow protection was ample except in spots and in Michigan no material injury occurred, but in Ohio and the valley the reports of condition are much reduced. In the North, a slight improvement in the prospect has accrued. The average of condition in the principal wheat growing states is as follows: New York 95, Miehigau 100, Ohio 59. Kentucky 45, Indiana 70, Illinois 42, Missouri 60, Kansas 62, general average is 70 instead of 77 in the indicated production of winter wheat to about 240,000,000, bushels.

Although labor continues depressed in the United Kingdom, there are signs of better times. The failures for the week ending April 11th numbered 59 as compared with 108 and 240 in the corresponding weeks respectively of 1884 and 1883. England and Wales had 40 failures as against 73 and 214 in the weeks specified. Scotland had 15 as against 29 and 22, and Ireland had 4 as against 6 in 1884 and 5 in 1883. Secretary Manning to-day requested the resignation of Colonel T.

of the Bureau ot Engineering and printing Department. His salary, which was $900 more than the Assistant Treasurer's, was wanted O. Graves, who held that position. Burrough voted for Cleveland. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

Riley, entomologist of the U. S. Agricultural Department, gives notice that he will be prepared to distribute French and Italian silk worm eggs during the present year. The Manitoba Rebellion. Battleford, May 8.

General Middleton is reported to be engaging the rebels at Batouche today, and the impression prevails here that if the half-breeds are routed by him they will double round this way in border to effect a junction with Poundmaker. A party went' to Moosamen's reserve to-day, and report him gone north. If Middleton disposes of the enemy it is thought he will march this way and, being joined by the troops here, will proceed against Poundmaker, otherwise no aggressive movement will be made from here until reinforcements arrive. A number of Indian signal fires were seen in different parts to-day. The pickets will be doubled to-night.

A Chinese Expulsion. London, May 9. Advices from Kashgar, Chinese Turkestan, say that Mohamedan insurgents have invoked the assistance of Russia to expel the Chinese, promising in return that Russia shall have sovreignty over Kashgar. Russia hesitates to take such a step, which would virtually' proclaim hostility to China. The Chinese garrisons in Kashgar have taken refuge in large towns, and ask China to send troops to their relief.

Colonel De Anna, formerly collector for Alaska, and for the last two years special agent for the Land Office at Carson, Nevada, to-day swore out a warrant in the police court for the arrest of.

Commissioner Sparks of the Land Office on the charge of a personal assault. Colonel De Alma's version of the affair is that he called upon the Commissioner to-day to secure a settlement of his accounts as a special agent, which had been suspended, with all the accounts of the other agents, pending an investigation by the Commissioner. He was on leave of absence, and told the Commissioner that he was in financial distress, and asked to have his accounts passed so he might get his pay which had been withheld for several months. The Commissioner impatiently exclaimed that be had no time to look into individual cases, and ordered the Colonel out of the room. The Colonel protested against his treatment, when, he says, the Commissioner sprang up and seized him by the throat, tore the buttons off his coat and called upon the messenger to eject him.

The Colonel was ejected, and went immediately to the Police Court and obtained his warrant. He says he carried a loaded cane with which he could easily have disabled the Commissioner, but refrained from striking him in consideration for his family. Biding Their Time. New York, May 9. The County Democracy held a large meeting last night and adopted reso lutions heartily endorsing the administration of Cleveland.

The resolutions say: "Your judgment, subject to the provisions of existing laws, that all offices now vacant and such as may become vacant should be filled by appointment by such Democrats as may command themselves to the appointing power by their capacity, integrity, and by the record of their services and of their faithful adherence to the principles of the Democratic party meets with our approval." The Bio Grande on a Rampage. Laredo, N. May 9. Heavy rains have fallen along the Rio Grande during the past twenty- four hours, and a large portion of Laredo is under water, in many places to a depth of four feet, flooding dwellings above the first floor. There are many washouts along the railroads.

Tbe tracks of the Texas Mexican roads are reported badly injured for a distance of fifty miles. The Rio Grande is rising rapidly. It is feared the Mexican National Railway's bridge is swept away. A Liberal Verdict. Chicago, May 9.

Miss Granie Taudeventer, in the United States District Court this morning, recovered a verdict for $6,500 against the Chicago City Railroad which operates the cable system. She claimed that while entering a car the signal was given to start the train, and she was dragged along for some distance, sustaining injuries of a serious nature, 5 from which she can never entirely recover. A Xew Governor for Alaska. Washington, May 8. A.

P. Swineford of Marquette, Michigan, was to-day appointed Governor of Alaska. Swineford is ex-Mayor of Marquette, is editor of the Marquette Mining Journal, has served as a member of the Legislature of his State, and was a candidate for Lieutenant Governor two years ago. He was appointed State Inspector of Mines and Mining by Governor Begole of Michigan. Takes It all Back.

Chicago, May 9 The publication last week in the Chicago News Letter of a paragraph reflecting on the private life of Mr. Nat Goodwin, tb6 actor, has been the occasion of considerable comment here. Greatly exaggerated reports of the (affair were sent broadcast, in which the actor was pictured as entering the editorial office in a rage, threatining to do him bodily injury, flourishing weapons, etc. In jester ITC HI IMG Skin Diseases Instantly Cured by Cuticura. rilREATMENT A WARM BATH J.
