Mr. Uourl(o will make only a brief stay In this country, iih his visit Is purely on busi ness. Mr. Duvilt will remain several months, will attend tho Chicago conven tion and uttorwnrd will deliver a scries of lectures throughout lliecountry. Mr. Dnv lit found time to answer n fow questions concerning tho present situation in Ireland and what prospect thoro was for an early Hcttloiiiont of tlie homo rule question, Ho jngiiHl;cd what ho thought would bo the first move of the tory ministry In relation to Ireland, ho nnswoi-ed: "For tho pres ent, nt nil events, wo can Bcarccly expect they will rush forward witli n home rule hill that Is, a homo rule bill on the lino of Gladstone's. Our hopes must bo r .titer of n negative thnn of a positive character, uinl this iniikos our people anxious to lind out whether or not anything in the shape of a coercion bill will bo introduced I don't nay passed for with tho present actual majority for tho liberals on nil questions outside of homo rule, it is hard to see how liny bill doing away with the upplirutlou of the ordinary law could lfl got through thohousoof commons. Willie, therefore, tho coiiHoi'vntlvo ministry must bo consor vatlvo in not going beyond tho ordinary law to curry on the government as It Is, I cannot see how they can remain passive in relation to tho national demand. They inust, and probably ill, offer some hind of a remedy, for thu country is at present stirred from one end to the other as it nover was before nnd tho whole people in obedieuco to tholr leaders, not to speak of tho law abiding spirit which is born in thorn when thoy am let alone, aro refrain ing fropi acts of violence-. Why, you must have read in the dispatches from thu other Hide that criminal calendars which caino under tho notice of the Judges of (lie assizes who aro on thu circuit throughout tho country present almost a complete blank n h far as any hoi ions offenses, in fact us far as any offenses at nil, aru concerned. As it consequence tho judges tiro compelled to compliment the grand juries on the peace ful utato of thu country."

On tho other nidi) of tho river tho sumo itntoot tranquility prevails. However, in xpltoot all these indications of pence, it Is evident Unit people here do not trust too much to appearance, as it is generally ad mitted that only by n miracle can war be avoided, though It may take some time be fore the end of peace 1 reached, in conse quence ol which thu company nt minute men has organized itself in tho use of the repenting rifle with which It hus been armed, nnd n great iimnv cltlieus nro get ting things in shape for a hasty move. llunlues.i which was being seriously utfect ix has been restored to its normal condi tion, Cutting has apparently been effected by tills general pcucolulueoa nnd Is quietly Hwnltliig developmouU in Ills cell In tlie Paso del Norte Jail.

It Its weokly report on tho condition of the corn ol tho wost tho Cincinnati Price Current says: "A portion of tho corn bolt has hud beneficial rains tho past week, and tho position of tho crop aa n whole is but little if any Icbs promising than a week ago. In soino of the northern counties of Ohio tho crop Is qultobnekward, and 1.3s suffered from dry wouthor; rains in various local! ties have given relief during tho wook; other portions ofthostato generally promising well. Recent rains in Indiana have been helpful, nnd although the average condition of tho crop is not high, It Is little below an average. In Illinois tho situation has not Improved during tho week, oxcopting In lim ited areas, and thegoncral position is poor, indicating that an approach to an average crop cannot be readied nailer any cireum stances. In Iowa no important relief lias been given by rains during tho wool;, al though reported from various portions of the state, nnd the general slluation Is much less favorable than a week ago. Tho crop cannot be considered as capable of exceed ing three-fourths of an average production or the state, anil without- an Imporlaul innco in the near future thu outcome will he oven less favorable. Sonio further rains have fallen in Missouri, giving needed rulief, ami a portion of thu statu will yield well, but an average production can nanny no allzed.

A cold blooded and cowardly assassination occurred In Sioux City on the night of Aug. 3d, Iter. Geo. C. Haddock boinz tho victim, About nine o'clock Mr. Ilnddock, accomnan led by Rev. C. 0. Turner pastor of the "VVn t field M. E. church, called at Morrill's liv:r stable, on Water street, and got a horse an buggy for the purpose of driving to Green ville, just across tho Floyd, cast of the city They were absent about an hour. At 10 o'clock Mr. Haddock returned to the stable with th horse and buggy, being alone at that time I After delivering tho animal to the hos'ler. j Tom Jams, Mr. Haddock started to go out of tho stable, but noticing several men standing on tho sidewalk opposite, he turned and nsked Jarvls If "anybody was lay ing for him," laughing pleasantly as he asl- tho question. Jarvis replied that he knew of no one who had any such Intention. At this Mr. Haddock started, but over the crossing of atcr street, on the south side of Fourth, shot was heard and he dropped his cane, ami, staggering fownrd In a direction slightly tout! of cast, fell on the walk as above stated. Jack Ityan, Superintendent of Markets, was In the door of Dan O'Connell's saloon when tho shot was fired nnd saw Haddock, who win between himself and the gaslight nt tlie Columbia house corner, stagger toward th sidewalk. He at onco went to him nnd al though the wounded man hrentbed at least five minute after he fell he did not attempt to speak. Hyan got some water and washed tho blood from his face and was thcro when tho crowd began to collect. After tho shooting Officer Henry Hcltfelt picked up a murderous looking hllley !r .ho strcjt near where tlio sliojtlug occurcJ. It Is made of tho wheel of a pulley, such as are used In heavy barn doors, to which Is nt t ached n stiff ropo handle. There Is no evi dence that this wen o u was used, as the shot did 1U work cITeetlvely and well. From all appearance, tlio caso Is one of pre meditate! murder, and the circumstances go to show that tho parties were aware of the trip taken by Mr. Ilnddock and armed and sta tioned themselves in convenient positions to attack him on his return. An overflowing public meeting was held In Sioux City to take action with refer ence to tho murder of Mr. Haddock, speeches were made by S. Lothrop, A. L. Hudson, E. P. Hubbard, Geo. I).

Washington dispntch: Senntor Millor says that tho notion thut tho oleomnrgar ino bill wns emasculated in tho senate or mutcrinlly chnnged in nny way is untrue. While tho farmers had fixed upon a 5 per cent tax, and while ho worked to secure it, still tho rate of tnx was not tho important feature of tho bill. Tho ovil sought to bo cured wns tho practice of putting on tho market under tho guiso of butter a vm iety ot frnudiilent imitations. Tho machinery dovlsed to provent this, Senator Miller says, is retained in all its vigor in tlie bill as it becaino n lnw. Ono incident, but u ery iniportnnt result of tho pnssago of tho net, ho snys, will bo tho aid it will furnish tho stato authorities to curry out then own laws on tho subject. Heretofore, how- over stringent thostatolaw may havobeon, it hus been extroniely tlilllcult, olteu iiupos- slble, to oxecuteit, by reason of thofnetthat tho linltaticus ol butter miitlu in the neigh boring states could come across thu bonier unchallenged anil thoro was no way except by chemical analysis, both cxponsivo and slow, to dotect tho fraud.
