WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—More de tailed information than has heretofore been obtainable concerning the condi tion of the Russian grain crop is con tained in a report on the subject to the state department from United States Consul Heenan at Odessa. He says the crops over an extensive area have failed. The beginning of the trouble was the dry weather causing the failure of half the wheat sown. Then came the wet test season known in years and hail de stroyed both ripe and uuripe grain. In large areas no effort was made to'har vest. The yield is from four to six bushels per acre for winter aud spring. Barley is discolored and underweight. Rye is much damaged and will be under the average crop. Oats alone are in favorable condition. Mr. Heenan says that but little wheat will be shipped from Russia during the season of 1S07-98 for the simple reason that there is little available tor export. The failure of the wheat crops in Austro-Hungary, Roumania and Bul garia has brought buyers into Russia from these countries and the wheat will go to them by rail. How much of this wheat Russia can afford to let go is a question. While hints are thrown out that the export of cereals may be alto gether prohibited, the consul believes these have no foundation, and that the Russian government will never again make the mistake it did in the famine yea* of prohibiting exports. Kxport Duty on Washington, Sopt.

MADISON, Wis., Sept. 23. —Justice Winslow of the Wisconsin supreme court handed down an important de cision during the day. The opinion is in the case of the proceedings for con tempt of court by Judge W. F. Bailey of Eau Claire against H. C. Ashbaugh and L. A. Doolittle. The court says: "We are well persuaded that newspa per comments on cases finally deoided, prior to the publication, cannot be con sidered criminal contempt." After reviewing the rights of courts and emphasizing the importance that they should perform their grave public duties unimpeded and unprejudiced by illegitimate influences, Judge Winslow says: An Arbitrary Proceeding. Truly, it qiust be a grievous and weighty necessity which will justify so arbitrary a proceeding whereby a can didate for office beomes the accuser, judge and jury, and may within a few hours summarily punish his critic by imprisonment. The result of such a doctrine is that all unfavorable criti cism of a sitting judge's past official ac tion can be at once stopped by the judge himself, or, if not stopped, can be pun ished by immediate imprisonment. It there can be any more effectual way to gag the press and subvert freedom of speech, we do not know where to find it. Under such a rule the merits of a sitting judge may be rehearsed, but, as to his demerits there must be profound silence. In our opinion no such divin ity 'doth hedge about' a judge, certainly not when he is a candidate for public office." Brief History of the Case. Judge Bailey presided in the circuit court of Eau Claire county and was a candidate for re-election. During the heat of the campaign, a lawyer, Dr. Doolittle, published in Ashbaugh's newspaper an article several columns in length, charging the judge with being extravagant in the management of the court aud with being partial and unfair in respect to his official conduct in the trial of cases and with being influenced by corrupt motives. These charges all referred to proceedings and cases al ready heard and decided, and not in matters then pending or on trial. March tfl an editorial article appeared in the newspaper strongly opposing Judge Bailey's candidacy and Summarizing the Charges Against Him which had been made at length in the Doolittle article. April 1 Judge Bailey made an order on his own motion re quiring H. H. Hayden and T. F. Fraw ley to institute contempt proceedings against Ashbaugh and Doolittle on ac count of the publications. Upon the assembling of the court at that time the alternative writ of prohibition was was served upon Judge Bailey. There upon Judge Baily announced that he would not proceed farther with the pending proceedings, but at once made an order adjudging Ashbaugh and Doo little guilty of a new contempt in the immediate presence of the court. The order was never executed by the sheriff. F® THE SUPREME COURT. Kan Hits City Live Stuck Kxcliange Will Appeal From Foster's Decision.
