Good snowing for Emits and drain InCalifornia. Washington, May 10.?The May crop report of the Department of Agri- culture indicated improvement during April of two points in wheat, with gen- eral average of condition at 95 per cent. The May average last year was 70 per cent. San Francisco, May 10.?The signal service issues the following report of the condition of crops on Mayfirst in Cali- fornia, Oregon aud Washington Terri- tory, from special reports received. Oregon aud Washington reports are very few, though they show that grain is ex oetlent. Fruit shows a very large yield, except peachea which will be a light crop, and in sections apples were injured by frost on the night of April 30. Re ports for California cover the entire state, and on the whole show that the entire yield of grain and fruit will be abundant. Excessive rains have dimin ished prospects some, though the yield tvillbeauout the»average. From all parts of the State reports are that hay will be exceedingly abundant, though in counties s bordering on the coast in the Soutberu part of tbe State, rust has damaged bay to some extent. Peaches generally will be a failure, also apricots, on account of "carl leaf" iv the former and troat in the latter. Vineyards are reported to be In a most flourishing condition, and the tonnage will be greatly above the average. Barley is some smutted in Santa Barbara county. All grains and fruit are very flattering in Colusa and Los Angeles counties. In tbe northern tier of counties, it no fros's occur in May, the yield of fruits will be very large. The orange crop in Butte county promises about three fourths an average yield. This is owing to excessive rains cooling the earth. Chicago, Ills , May 10.?Tbe follow- ing crop summary will appear iv this week's Issue of the Farmer') Revitw. The prospects for both W inter and Spring wheat continue excellent. The only state in which no special improve- ments are reported is Kansas. eiunx bi nine. some freight Handlan Heiama, ana Others Refused Em- ployment. CstWAO*, May 10.?The Baltimore and Ohio railroad set the striking freight handlers to work this mcrniug, conced- ing them eight hours for a working day, with nice hours' pay. The freight handlers of this road who have not been acting in concert with other city freight handlers, gained their victory by inde- pendent negotiation with tbe com rany. It is not known what effect this conces- sion will have among other roads. A committee of striking freight handlers of the Chicago and North Western Railway called upon the officials this morning and expressed a desire to return to work on the old basis. The company replied as new men now filled the entire work- ing quota of the company, it had no places to offer the men who had gone oat on strike. The Grand Trunk, Lake Shore, Michigan Central, Illinois Cen- tral and Chicago and Atlantic took back I the old men. The Chicago A Alton and Louisville & New Albany refused to hire any of the old men. All sejb, door and blind factories started np tbi-i morning on the eight- hour b isis and nine hour* pay. ftOKEIGN NEWS.

London, May 10? The Mark Lane Hzpreia in its review of the English grain trade daring tbe psst week says: Summer weather has prevailed. The absence nf rain retards vegetation. The wheat trade is hardening. Bales of Eng- lish wheat during the week were 65,030 qutrters, at3lssd, against 54,353 quar- ters, at 38s 1 d, during the corresponding period of last year. Flour is firm but alow of sale. Foreign wheats are weaker owing to large receipts of American flour. The expectation of ? deluge of the English market with American flour, together with tbe fact that American gamblers in wheat are staggering under the load whioh they are attempting to carry, weakens the tone of tbe market and paralyses legitimate trade. Ameri- can flour is aheaper. Five cargoes of wheat arrived, three cargoes were sold, one was withdrawn and two remained. Trade forward is stagnant. To-day the market w *tslow and showed no improve- ment. Buyers were shy. I NH Hin Glove ll* hi* Chicaoo, May 10, ?

Dec.alone Rendered *>y «b« < Supremo Court. Wasuihgton, May 10.?In tbe oase County of Sun Bernardino vs. the South- era Pucitic Railway Company, the judg- ment of the Circuit Court is affirmed. In thia oase, aa inother California rail- road tax oa*e«, the assessment!, in the judgment of the court, speaking through Justice Harlan, improperly included fence upon linea uf railroad. Justice Harlan delivered an opinion in the county of Santa Clara vs. the Southern Pacitic HallwayCompany. luuumber tJ'2'2 People of the State of California vs. the Same; No. 621, People uf the State of California vs. Central Pacific Railroad Cu. Justice Harlan delivered the opin- ion of the Court. These are what are known aa the California "railroad tax cases," and were brought to reaover county and State taxes claimed to he duu from the railroad companies, which were assessed under section 3664 of the Political Code of California. The spe- cial grounds of defense were that there were no State provisions; that the pro- visions of the Constitution aud laws of California in respect to the aa- sessrnent for taxation of the prop- erty of railroads operated in more than one conuty are in violation of the fourteenth amendment of tbe cousti tutton, as they require an assessment of property at its full money value, and without making deductions for mort- gages covering property assessed; that section 2,644 of political code was not constitutionally enacted by the Legisla- ture, and bad not the force of law. A majority of the Court did not think that it was necessary to consider the question of the constitutionality of the law, by whicti the oase was determined by the Court below, but affirmed its j udgmeut eutirely upon the ground that assessments oaunot be a basis of judgment against the company. Justice Field, in a separate opinion, savi: "Iagree to the judgment of the court in thia and other tax cases, but I regret it has not been deemed consistent with its duties to decide important con- stitutional questions involved, and par- ticularlyone which was so fully consid- ered in tbe Circuit court, that in assess- ment according to which taxes claimed were levied on, unlawful and unjust discrimination was made between the property of defendants and property of individuals to its disadvantage, (bus subjecting it to an unequal share of tbe public burdens, and to that extent > depriving it of that equal protection of tbe laws guaranteed by the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Tbe question is one of transcendent import' ance, and it will come to this court, and 1 continue to come, until it iiantnorita I tively decided in harmony with the { great constitutional amendment which insures to every one, whatevur his poii- 1 tion or association may be, equal pro- 1 tection of the laws. The Supreme Court to-day also de- cided case number 203, John Mullen and Francis Avery appellants vs. the United States for the district of Califor- nia. The case related to the title of John Muilan and Francis Avery to a portion of land, Mount Diablo Meridian, listed to the State of California as school indemnity selection, on the ground that when the selection was made and when it was listed tbe land was not odal land, and so known by the officers of the State and by Muilan and Avery when they afterwards acquired titlefrom the state. The Circnlt Court of the United States for the district of California entered a decision vacating the title of tbe mate and of Muilan and Avery, and tbe de- cree is here sfflrmed.

A Mormon's Predicament* Wa#hiNoto s, May 10.?The Supreme Court rendered a decision to-day in the oase of Lorenzo Snow vs. the United States. Snow was convicted under the Edmunds' act for unlawful cohabitation and sent to prison, where he now is. He appealed from tbe decree of the Supreme Court of the Territory, which sustained the judgment of the lower court in which he was convicted. The Supreme Court of the United States holds that it has no jurisdiction in such cases, and therefore dismisses them. Justice Blatcbford delivered the opinion of the Court. Will Tfcer Do It?

Debate on Gladstone's speech on the Irish billwas postponed until Thursday. He wanted Lord Hartington to tind a road through the darkness involved by the letter's proposed rejection of tbe bill, which caneed cheers. Hartington thought the Premier had settled the matter without mature consideration, and that the concession made would not meet the demands of Mr. Chamberlain. A Black, Story. i About a month ago a pair arrived here from Kansas City who posed as man and wife. Th*-y secured rooms in a private family up on tbe hill along the cable road. A week ago they rented a house 111 street, where they proceeded to titup a lodging house. All day long they worked furnishing the house and lay- ing In a large amount of groceries. As late in the afternoon the two sat down tired, but gratibed, and proceeded to take in the fine artis'io effects of their toil and Isvish expenditure of coin, their hearts full of pleasant anticipations? they seemed a newly married couple with all the lulling and cooing fever strong upon them, there same a rap at tbe door. Letting the lady reat the man opened the door to be con- fronted by a oouple of limbs of ths law One of them was from Chioago, but waa no "sucker." He Srooeeded to read a requisition from the overnor of Illinois, duly signed by the Governor uf California, for the arrest of the man, whose uame was Blaok. He was duly looked up in the county jail and next day taken East to stand trial for bis crime. It was only bigamy, as the man with the Black name and heart of the same sable hue had a wife In Chicago. His supposed spouse here he had met in Kansas City, where, passing himself off as a biiohelor, he inveigled her to help him into the ranks of the Benedicks. The poor duped woman who married in haste repents at leisure, her honeymoon proving stormy enough spite of tbe brilliantdawning it had at Kansas City.

(Jutted states Supreme Court De- cisions in California Titles, Tax and Chinese Cases. i Special to the Herald bu tht? Associated t*re§i\ Washington, May 10.?The Commis- sioner of the General J .n I Office re views his recommendation iv his commu- nication to the Senate to-day that the pre emption, comma ted homestead, timber culture, timber laud and desert land laws be repealed, and says tbe questions, bioadly stated, are whether public lands shall be protected and an huuest acquisition of title thereto in- sisted upon, or dishonest appropriations thereof be allowed. These questions cannot long remain in abeyance. With the present heedless rush of speculation and monopoly, the public domain will be absorbed iv a period of time so brief that even preventive measures against fraud and misappropriation may soon be too Tate to save any considerable portion of the public lands for the homes of tbe people. Tbe Commissioner closes his communication with the statement that his general information leads to the conclusion that no large amount of pub- lic land remains in the western states and territorlej east of the cattle belt which an actual settler can take up without Krst buying off speculation claims or voiding some invalid entry by proceedings- Within the cattle region it is notorious that aotual settlements are generally prevented and made prac- tically impossible outside the proximity of towoa, through unlawful control of the country, maintained by cattle cor- porations. The demand for free lands tor homes of American citizens, wboh is daily increasing iv intensity can no longer be met, unlets unpatented lands, now unlawfully held or claimed, can be recovered to the public domain and future illegal and fraudulent appropria- tions stopped. Oeneral Rosecram asked to Ex- plain Certain Cnarsje*. San Francisco, May 10.?A Call Washington special says: "The Senate Committee on Finance has addressed a letter to General Rosecrans, calling his attention to the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the ease of O'Connor vs. Frosher, appealed from the Supreme Court of the State of California, in which he i* charged with having de- frauded the United States of certain lands in that State, and offering him an opportunity of making au explanation to the committee, if he so desires. No re- plyhas been received from the General thus far, and his friends say he will take no notice of the letter. General Butler requested an opportu- nity to he heard in oppo-ition to the con- tinuation of General Rosecrans, and will charge himwith having published in his report to the House of Representatives false and malicious statements affecting bis (Butler's) honesty in connection with the management of funds of the Soldier.* Home. General Rosecrans has also been informed of General Butler's charges and has been invitedto meet them. General Butler is expected to be present at the committee meeting on Tuesday to pre- sent bis ease. Ex-Offlclais la Treosle. San Francisco, May 10.?Thia after- noon charges of attempting to bribe the jury and of procuring persons to at- tempt to corrupt and influence juries, were filed against ex-State Senator Rich- ard Creighton, ex-Supervisor M. Doane and James McCord, Superintendent of the Sutter street railroad. All the par- ties are connected with the defense in the case of Florence M. Wright vs. the Geary Street Park and Ocean Railroad, which waa decided last week in Judge Edmonds' court by a jory giving tbe widow a verdict of $7500 for the death of her husband by cars of the defend- ant. Judge Edmonds made an order to the jurors to answer the oharge on Wednesday morning next.

To any and ail parties that attend the great auction sale and excursion this day at Pasadena it willhe proved to you on the ground that aujh was never the oase, Shall the City Hall be Removed? This is a very exciting question in lo- cal circles, Yesterday it was referred to a oommittee of five, one from eaoh ward. Many well informed people say the present city property cannot be alien- ated from public usee and contend that that fact ends the matter. The report of the special committee willbe watched for with interest. Outside of tbe pres- ent and prospective equity of tbe swap, the wisdom of sncb a movement lies in the future growth of the city. If all the increase of population, or a very large majority of it is going south, if the population of Los Angeles is to be 100,000 in half a decade, and this is a queetion on which there) is lit- tle or no dissent of opinion, and if iv consequence of this business is to reach to Washington stroet, then it might be well to look a littleahead. Be this as it may, other parts of the city arc now growing fully as fast as the southern portion of it. This is notably true of the hills into which the cable roads, the beet means of tranait known, already lead. Whether the city hall be moved or not, the man that buys the hill property at the auction aale next Friday willsurely make big ironey withinfive years, or one year. Get particulars at II S.

Constable Huber yesterday arrested Wong Ah Chuey, who has been wanted since October 20th, on a ohargo of rob- bing a fellow Mongol, Ah Jim, of $35 in eoiu. Chuey skipped out, but returned in time to be in at tbe shooting a short timesinoe, when Ah Jim was hit in the back with a bullet. As he failed to ahow up in Justioe Austin's oourt yes- terday to prosecute the cases, in which eight of the almond-eyes were defend- ants, the defendants were discharged and Chuey was immediately re-arreated.
