Several prostrations in this city were reported and one death, that of Christ Korgan, a wagon maker. This is the third death from that cause during the last three days.

Reports from cities in this and adjoining states point to the same conditions. The maximum temperature In the cities named was as follows: Springfield, Mo., OR Hannibal, Mo., 100 Fort Smith, Ark., 104 Little Roclc, Ark., OS Springfield, 111., 90, and Cairo, 111., 08. (Sovernnient Crop Report.

CHICAGO, Any. 15. Tho weather bureau issues the following* report as to the condition of crops throughout tho northeast, and the general influence of weather on growth, cultivation and harvest:

Illinois—Rainfall below normal and badly distributed the drouth continues in southern portion corn prospect, except in southern portion, shows slight improvement: fall plowInp retarded stock wutor scarce and wells failing.

Pastures are Improving but slowly, and in many counties are burned so badly that the fanners are obliged to feed stock. Gardens are also needing rain. Apples and peaches are still dropping from the trees.

Indiana—A few showers Friday and Saturday were beneficial in some localities corn in low grounds still promises well, that on high ground is beyond recovery.

Ohio—Potatoes are generally small and the yield will be light wheat thrashing out well and'of excellent quality oats yielding well apples dropping and peaches small upland corn is thought to be past recovery, not over one-half crop expected.

Michigan -Temperature and sunshiue above normal, rainfall below: drought continues in all sectioiis^ and unless copious raius come soon corn, potatoes, beans aud buckwheat will bo a failure no fail seeding yet. ground too dry to plow.

Wisconsin—Showers were general through tho central and southern sections on Friday and Saturday which helped corn and potatoes( over the northern half of tho state tho drought is unbroken, except by an occasional shower in scattered sections thrashing is in progress and good yield everywhere reported.

Iowa—Drought broken 4n nearly all parts of tho state, materially helping grass, millet, late potatoes and a portion of corn, but larger part of corn is now beyond help.

Minnesota—Warmer than usual with light local rams which have benefited corn, potatoes and pasturage: smull grajn harvest nearly finished and stacking well along fall plowing begun.

Soutji Dakota—Drought broken somewhat by light showers latter part of week, heavy rain in few localities on 18th. benefitting pastures, potatoes and fall plowing harvesting completed: thrashing advancing rain would only help potatoes and pastures.

Kansas—Hot, cloudless, rainless'week injurious to corn, hay and fruit crop corh is being generally cut to save foddor prairie hay light and grapes wilting.

Xorth Dakota—Corn, potatoes and late grain have been somewhat improved by showers during the week: harvesting half completed and some of the thrashing being done.

Nebraska—Light showers general the last of week, but not sufficient to materially help vegetation corn continues to decline in condition: pasture very dry and stock being fed in many localities in the state. .Precipitation.

While more than the usual amount of rain fell during the week over a considerable portion of the southern states and over limited areas in the Ohio, upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys there has been less than t&e usual amount over much the greater portion of the country. Exception heavy rain falls in some portious of Arkansas, Alabama, Louisana aud Texas and copious showers occurred over portions of Ohio, Indiana and on the middle Atlantic coast, but over extensive areas, including Kansas, portions of Nebra^a. Missouri, western Tennessee, there was no appreciable rainfall during the wcok.

General Remarks.

Drought has been relieved over the greuter portions of Iowa aud in portions of South Dakotaka. southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois, but continues in Kansas. Nebraska, Missouri, southern Illinois, northern Wisconsin, Michigan. West Virginia. New York and New Jersey, and besides the damaging effects of drought to crops in the states uanicd. plowing for fall seeding is being retarded Rocent rains have benefited corn in Minnesota and in portions of Ohio, but in Nebraska, Iowa aud S(%ith Dakota the greater part of the crop has been permanently Injured. In the southern slates, howover, except In Kentucky where the crop is threatened in some localities, the corn crop Is reported to be iu excellent condition and an unusually hokvy yield in that section is now practically assured. Heavy local rains have caused injury to cotton in portions of the Curolinas and Florida, but upon the whole the reports as to this crop continue favorable. Picking has begun in Florida and continues in central and southern Texas. Grain harvest has been completed iu California and continues in Utah, Montana and North Dakota. A light frost causing no damage occurred in New England onthellth.

Some Timely Rains.

GALENA, 111., Aug. 15.—The first rain of any consequence since July 1 fell Monday night. A violent thunder and windstorm accompanied it. The drought was broken just in time to save corn, which will be over twothirds of a crop. At Belmont, just north of here, the storm amounted to a cyclone and was accompanied by hail, which cut down the corn.

BLOOMINGTON, 111., Aug. 15.—Light showers fell in man}' places in this vicinity. Tuesday morning about daybreak there was a heavy rainfall lasting about one hour. It was quite general, though a number of places did not get a drop. The resuit will bo a great improvement in the condition of the corn crop in McLean county. A peculiarity of the rains this season.is that they are chiefly in the form of local showers, and that while most of the county has had enough moisture so far to keep the crops in fair condition there are strips and spots where not a drop has fallen since the corn was planted and where vegetation is dying from the drought

DAVENPORT, fa., Aug. 15.—Heavy rains drenched this section of the country Tuesday morning and the long summer drought was broken. The storm was accompnnled by high winds and lightning, which causAd dome losses in tha country.

THE TARIFF BILL.

Its Passage Creates Activity in Some Linos.

DISTII.I.KI'S AIIE' AT'L'IVH.

PIIILADEI.I'UIA, Aug. 15.—There win great activity in the United States internal revenue oflice here Tuesday following the final passage of the tariff bill. Distillers are anxious to gel their whisky out of bond at the present revenue rate of 90 cents, and the receipts were phenomenally large. There are in bond in this district 37,917 packages of whisky, containing 1,017,541 gallons. The largest distiller in the district has already withdrawn all his whisky. With importers of merchandise the situation is different. It is to their advantage to leave goods in the bonded warehouse until the law goes into effect, when the duties will be reduced. Imports aggregating in value nearly 82.000,000, the largest ever bonded here at one time, are now in the warehouse. The owners will take advantage of the reduction in the new law.

At IVoria.

PEORIA. 111., Aug. 15.—The scene around the internal revenue oflice Tuesday was one of unusual activity. Distillers were there in large numbers to pay the tax on thousands of gallons of the surplus which has been stored in various warehouses for a number of monthR. The collections, which for weeks have been at low-water mark, on Tuesday, as expected, suddenly jumped to more than S104.000. The sudden increase was the passage of the tariff bill bv the house.

The trust proposes to work off all its surplus now that it has the opportunity, and extra gangers are being called into service as rapidly as possible. A large portion of the surplus has already been regnuged and the rest will be just as rapidly as a large force can do so. More excitement Is anticipated in distilling circles in the next few days than ever known beforo.

Rig Increase Expected.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Treasury officials anticipate a very great increase in the receipts from Internal revenue sources within the next ten days in case tho president allows the tariff bill to become a law by withholding his signature. During the next ten days the internal revenue receipts are expected to reach 81,500,000 a day.

The customs officials of the treasury expect also a marked increase iu customs receipts from now on, and particularly during the next month or so. Lai'ge quantities of goods now held in the bonded warehouses of New York, Boston and other large seaport cities will be withdrawn as soon as possible after the bill becomes a law to meet the demands of the fall trade. Dry goods and furnishing goods and notions of all kinds will form a large Item in these withdrawals. The reduction of 50 cents a pound in the duty on cigars is expected to stimulate trade to some extent in that direction.

At l'lttsburffh.

PITTSIIUNOH. Pa., Aug. 15.—The passage of the tariff bill has already made itself felt in this district by a marked revival of business. Stocks in all lines of manufactures had been reduced to a minimum, especially in Iron, steel and glass. Tuesday several large" orders were received by local manufacturers and many more are expeoted. In some lines of business the demand began as soon as the passage of the tariff bill was assured, and the telegraph wires wero kept busy Monday night with orders for goods. It is afisorted that a slight reduction in wages will be necessary In the case of glass-workers, tin-plate men and the workmen in some branches of tho Iron and stool trade, but this has been conceded, the scales generally allowing for reductions to fit tariff changes. The dispute will be over the size of the outs.

At Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.—A few instances of immediate Improvement in local business as a result of the late tariff enactment were found Tuesday. Business men generally were much gratified that the end of the lingering battle had been announced, and opinion prevailed that speedy recovery of business would result.

Many Injured by llall.

MADRID, Aug. 15.—The cyclone which swept over the province of Cuidad Roal Monday was accompanied by a terrific storm of hail. Over 200 persons were injured and several thousand domestic animals wero killed. The damage to crops in the province is estimated at 8300,000.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. As tho house of representatives Monday night adjourned over until to-day, tho tariff bill cannot lie sent to the white house before. It will be enrolled and carefully compared when both houses are in session, and will receive the signatures of Speaker Crisp and Vice President Stevenson. The bill then will be taken to the president, who will then have ten days (exclusive of Sundays), or until Monday, the 27th, in which to act on the bill.

May Not Slffii It.

A great deal of pressure will be brought to bear on the president by democratic senators and representatives to induce Mr. Cleveland to sign the bill, but the authoritative statement made that it is the present intention of the president to let the bill become a law without his signature, can be reiterated. It is stated by friends of the president that he has freely expressed this purpose to those entitled to know who have questioned him on the subject, but has said that he will thoroughly consider all phases of the matter. A member of tho cnbiuet said that if the president should ohango from his present inclination and aflix his signature to the bill it would bo accompanied by a statement in explanation of his reasons therefor,

Urging the President to 81gn.V The prosident has repeatedly told his friends that he could not sign the bill, but many of his closest personal friends have urged him to sign tho bill without delay. Several reasons were urged, among them the faot that tho opening of fall trade was olose at hand and that a delay of ten days might result in serious loss of customs revenues.

Another reason stated was that congress was anxious to adjourn. With tho exception of two months the members had been in constant attendance for over a year, and it was represented that, now that their work was practically accomplished, It would be hurdly fair to compel them to remain here in idleness, when no positive good could be accomplished thereby. He was advised to forego his scruples in the mutter, sign tho bill and return it with a message which would leave no room for doubt as to his views thereon.

It is estimated that during tho next ten days the receipts from internal revenue will amount to between $10,000,i)00 and 315,000.000, and tho government will lose the increased whisky tax to this extent. In view of the depicted condition of the treasury this argument probably will have weight with the president. It is known, though, that up to this time the president has not changed his determination to permit the bill to become a law by retaining it the necessary ten days without action. llcfore the Senate.

At 12:15 in the senate a messenger from the house of representatives was announced and informed the senate that the house had passed the bills placing coal, iron ore, barbed wire aud sugar on the free list, in which it asked the concurrence of the senate. Senator Manderson objected to the second reading, aud Senator Hill gave notice of amendments repealing all income tuxes. The bills will come up Wednesday.

Interest In New Bills.

Beyond the interest felt in the action of the president on the main tariff, congressional speculation has now turned upon the probable course of the senate with reference to the supplemental bills. Neither the democratic steering committee of the senate nor the finance committee has met sincethe bills were introduced in the house, consequently there has been no official action looking to a decision upon the policy to be pursued. Some democratic senators profess to be desirous that the senate should take them up and dispose of them promptly upop their presentation. This course is advocated alike by democratic senators, who think the bills would be voted down and by some who think tliore is a possibility of the passage of some of them with republican assistance.

Preparing the 11111.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. President Cleveland will receive tho tariff bill late this afternoon or early Thursday unless some unexpected obstacle is encountered. It will be carried to him by Representative Pearson (O.), chairman of the house committee on enrolled bills. As tho bill originated in the house, tho latter body conveys It through Mr. Pearson to the president.
