WEATHER AND CROPS,

Important hfomitoa Iren tbe Signil Burts u for Tillen of the SiiJ. Daily Avenge Temperature for the Seuon Fron Jannary 1 to August 23. Lais Reports Announce Well Distributed Ealns in the Drouth Begion. No Material Cbansje In the Condition of the Corn Cropjaa a geaalt of the Beceat Ver yRefreshlng Showers. Washington, August 21. The following is the weather crop bulletin of the signal ortic. for the weeK ended August 20. Temperature During the week ending August 20, it has been slightly warmer than usual throughout the Southern States and the Onio Valley, and cooler than usual throughout the lake region and the upper Mississippi, and the Missouri Valley; the average daily temperature in the last named district ranging from 2 to 4 degrees below the normal. In flew England, the Middle Atlantic States and on the Pacific coast, the temperature differed but slightly from the normal. The daily average temperature for the season, from January 1 to August "0, has ranged from 1 to 2 above the normal in the Central Valleys, and it has been slightly cooler than usual at stations on the Atlantic and Fa cific coasts, and from Kak Superior Westward to Montana. Rainfall During the week rainfall;; has been in excels generally throughout tbe corn and tobacco regions and the northwest portion of the cotton region and in Northern New England, while there has been less than the usual amount of rain in the lower Mississippi valley, on the middle and South Atlantic coast, in Arkansas and the southern portions of Missouri and Kansas, and from Lake Superior westward to Dakota. Well distributed rains have occurred throughout the diouth region and the 7 a. m. reports this morning shon that ra'.n continoes in this sectioa. The large deficiency in the rainfall for the season ranging from 5 to 15 inches in the Mississippi valley, has been sligntly reduced in tue Southern States during the past week, the only sections reporting an eccess of rainfall for the season being Northern New England. Central portions of the Middle At Janjie States, Southern Dakota and the Northern Pacific coast. General; Remarks. The weather for the week has been favorable throughout the corn belt, the recent rains having greatly improved the condition of that crop, but owing to the lateness of the rains in the principal corn producing States, the yield will probably be below the average. In the cotton region from Alabama Westward to Texas, the weather for the week ha3 improved the crop conditions, and the cotton harvest is progri ssing. but more rain would benefit the crop in the central portion of Arkansas. In North and South Carolina an excess of rainfall for the week is reported as unfavorable for the cotton crop. The weather has been generally favorable for all crops in Kentucky, Tennessee, VirSnia and in the Middle Atlantic and New ngland States. Ia Minnesota the uncut crops were improved, and harress cro damaged by rains. WEEKLY CROP SCHM1BV. General Average Condition of Corn-Win tr Wheat Yield. Chicago, August 21. The fallowing crop summary will appear In th!3 week's issue f the Farmers' Review. Our reports do not indicate any material change in the condition of the corn crop in the different States as a result of the recent refreshing rains. Corn on high and dry lands was too fax gone to be recuperated by rains, but low laying and late planted fields have been somewhat helped. These, however, are not of sufficient acreage to affect to any appreciable degree the general average of condition. Dakota alone reports the condition of the crop above the average. The average yield of winter wheat In the different States as shown by threshing returns from our crop report is as follows: Twenty-five Illinois counties 15 3 4 ba; 14 Wisconsin counties 11 2 5 bn; 11 Ohio counties 13 3-11 bu; 9 Michigan counties lC13bu; 8 Kentucky counties 10 bu; 15 Kansas counties 12 2 5 bu; and 11 Indiana counties 141 5. The average yield of spring wheat in the different States is as follows: 14 coun ties in Iowa 12 bu; 14 counties in Dakota 19 bu; 8 counties in Minnesota 9 12 bu; and 13 counties in Nebraska 11 8 13 bu. The average yield of oats In the different States as snown by threshing returns from cur report is as follows. 20Illinoii counties 32 bu; 11 Wisconsin counties 2G 9-11 bu; 11 Ohio counties 32 2 5 on; 11 Mis souri counties 32 4 5 bu ; 11 Michigan count ies 27 bn; 7 Kentucky counties 24 3 5 ba; 14 Kansas counties 25 1 3 bu; 10 Indiana counties 24 4 5 bu; 20 Iowa counties 33 i bn; 11 Dakota counties 33 9 11 bn: 9 Minnesota counties 33 bu; and 12 Nebraska conn tie) 25 bu. The recent rains have much refreshed and invigorated pastures and a fair sup ply of fall feed is now anticipated. Potatoes generally are turning out a poor crop on account of drouth, but late va xieties have been helped by the rains. The apple crop will be generally light in the west. Cattle are beginning to pick up in condition and are reported in good health as a rule. The average condition of the corn crop in the States reporting ia as follows: Twen ty-six counties in Illinois report an average condition of the corn 50.4 per cent: 11 counties in Wisconsin 56.9 per cent; 10 counties in OhioC0.5; 11 counties in Mis souri C3 per cent; 10 counties in Michigan 45.5 percent; 7 counties in Kentucky WJ per cent; 13 counties In Kansas 40 7 per cent; 9 counties in Indiana 43 per cent; ju counties in lowa vz per cent ; 13 counties in Dakota 125 per cent; 10 counties in Mlntesota 79.5 per cent and 13 counties in Nebraska 0 per cent. Das toe Coafideoee of the President. Wabhihgtow, Angnst 22 Secretary Whitney Is understood to stand high In the confidence of President Cleveland and In New York politics, especially, is a great help, since Mr. Manning retired from the cabinet. A member of the national Democratic committee who had an opportunity to see great deal of beere tar y Whitney during the last national campaign, pronounced him the keenest and one of the zsoet practical men in New York politics. He was alwayi a welcome and valuable visitor at Democratic he ad au arters and his sugges tion! were always followed up with goad results. On one occasion he dropped into headquarters and found the managers in Seat distress, owing to the lack of lands, queats for "ammunition" wer being received from all directions. The committee's treasury was about empty, and the

cries for aid could not be met Mr. Whitney, it is said, comprehended the situation at once, and armed with a campaign subscription book left headquarters and went down town town among the business menXT ton his return he informed the committee that he had collected $20,000.

IN THE SYLYAN SHADE

SoEcerLi'e of President Cleveland tt Eis Suburbia Hraa, Eis Intention or Hope to Yuit the Pcis Slops Next Tear. Speculations as to the Probable Executive Head of the Smithsonian Institute. A Library Rich In Its Collection of Peri odical Literature The Secretary of the Ntj m a Politician. Washington. A Tie. 22. Although the President's privacy at Oak View is occa sionally invaded, as.it is reported to have been last week by tha intrusion of the Louisville delegation, his purchase of a cosntry cottage has provd a most wise in vestment. It has enabled him to get much needed rest this summer without leaving Washington. He is, in truth, living an ideal summer Hie for a president of the United States. In his suburban home he is completely the master of his own time and movements He is free from the con stant importunity of the otüce-Beeker, and can work or rest as may suit his humor. He is no longer the over-worked president he was during the first twelve or eighteen months of his administration, and his work is . eo systematized that he has ample time for rest and self improvement. He is considerably more of a politician now than he was two years a?o. and his knowledge of men and measures has become quite extensive within the past twenty-four months. One of his personal friends, in conversation on this subject a few days ago, remarked that the President now has different ideas on many subjects from those entertained by hiir. when he erst entered the White House, las general executive policy is just the same, but exEerience in public lifs and national aBairs as taught him how to change his methods of accomplishing certain acts. This same gentleman said he had been a personal friend of Mr. Cleveland for many years, but he did not always agree with him politically, especially during the earlier stages of his administration, when he seemed to be drifting slowly but surely away from his party. His enlarged experience and his increased information concerning national affairs have caused him to change his course in the proper direction. The President has noticed that it is with expressions of commendation that the press generally has commented on the short trips he has taken away from Washington, and that his proposed long trip this fail meets with approval. No one of hispredeceseors ever had such urgent and impressively delivered invitations from so many committees as he, and these have brought out the fact, which he has with no little pleasure observed, that there will be no disposition to criticise his trips as junketing tours. It is his intention or hope to visit the Pacific slope next year. THE SMITnSNOIAN ORG ANIZaTION. Prof. Balrd's Successor to lie Elected Next January. Washikgtos, Aug. 22. The organization of the Smithsonian Institution, of which the late Prof. S. F. Baird was the executive head, is quite peculiar. The Chief Justice of the United States is ex-officio Chanceller, and nominally head of the institution, but the Secretary is really vested with ab solute and entire charge. The Board of Regente have a supervisory control, which is Ecarcely exercised except in the selection of the official corps of the institution. Besides the Chief Justice there are three members of the United States Senate and three members of the House of Bepresenatives o.i the Board of Regents, associated with half a dozen scientific gentlemen. They will elect a successor to Prof. Baird at the first meeting held. Senators Cullorn and Maxey are members of the Board. During the several months that Prof. Baird has been absent Brof. Langley, the senior assistant-secretary of the Smithsonian, has been acting for him as secretary, and it is understood will continue to act as secretary until the regents hold their annual meeling next January. It is not expected that Prof. Balrd's successor will will be formally appointed before that time, and when the appointment is made there is little doubt that Prof. Langley will be the man. Such is the opinion of all the scientists in Washington, including Prof, Mason of the Smithsonian and Prof. Powell ot the geological survey, and such is the opinion of Gen. M. C. Meigs, the only one of the fourteen regents at present in Washington. There is a provision in the law that physicists and naturalist shall be alternates in the chief executive office of the Smithsonian institution. Prof. Baird was a naturalist, his predecessor. Prof. Henry, was a physicist, and now comes the turn of the physicist again, which points to Prof. Langley, who is a physicist and in he direct line of promotion; Prof. G. Brown Goode, the junior assistant secretary, is a naturalist, like the deceased, and in the alternate course would follow Prof. Langley at the head of the institution. . I )The office of fish commissioner has no salary attached to it, and it was created originally with the intentien on the part of congress that It should be filled by Prof. Baird. The Jaw directed that someone of scientific attainments in the Government's employ, competent to fill the place, should be appointed without salary. Next in authority to Prof. Baird Is his chief assistant, Mai. T. B. Ferguson, who has, during Prof. Balrd's illness, been practically at the head of the bureau. 1 NATIONAL MEDICAL LIBRARY. The Largest Collection of Rooks In the World Devoted to Medlclae. WASHI5QT05, Aug, 22. The work of giving the books of the National Medical library to the new fireproof building just erected at a cost of $200,000, near the National museum, Is now going on. It is now the largest collection of books in the world devoted exclusively to medicine and the closely allied sciences. It contains about 65,000 volumes'.and 13,000 pamphlets. '-The library has about three fourths of existing medical literature," remarked Dr. J. 8. Billings, the librarian. "I think that it Is safe to conclude that our library contains not only more medical literature than the British museum or the National library ot France, which are the two largest collections of books in tha world, but that it covers a wider field, represents better the medical literature of the world and is decidedly a better pratlcal reference and working collection for medical purposes than either of the great libraries above named. "To speak oil some of the authors of this collection." continued the doctor, M may say that the collection is rich In periodical literature. It has collection of medical Journals and translations comprising

some 20,000 volumes. These are in all languages, including the Japanese and Sanscrit. In this specialty the library is the best in the world. We have a complete file of all the journals published in America since 1798, with the exception of five volumes. The library is rich in dissertations and in original theses. We have 70,000 theses, many of them valuable iiCa historical and biographical way. It is especially rich in American medical literature prior to the revolution. "Last year there were some 8.000 volumes added to the library of which over 1,000 were presented. The doctors all over the country use this library by consulting the catalogue now being Issued, and finding the books which they wish to see they send the list to the library and the books are forwarded. "This catalogue will consist of fourteen volumes of about 1,000 pages each. There are eight volumes already issued, and we are at work upon the ninth, which will bring the catalogue down nearly through the latter M. The catalogue is arranged by subjects the names ot the various diseases and under each subject is given the books, pamphlets, the periodical articles, and, in fact, everything that ia published on that subject which is in our library." Another Invitation Washington, August 22. First Assistant Postmaster General Stevenson called at the White House to-day and presented to the President on invitation from Representative N. E. Worthington, of Illinois, on behalf of the citizens of Peoria, to visit that city while on his Western tonr. The letter assured the President that should he accept, he will receive a hearty welcome. The President expresses a desire to meet the people of Peoria and would accept their invitation if he found it possible to do so.

AMERICA FOR AMERICANS. A Revival of Bomot the Principles of the Old Know-Nothing; Party. New York, August 22. The Philadelphia Press this morning says: "The old Know-Nothing party, America for Americans, will again be raised in the Presidential campaign of 1S88 by a new party, come forth like Lazarus from the tomb of the old. The projectors of the renewed movement say, however, that the Know-Nothing movement never was dead, and that, with the objectionable features lopped of!', it still lives. During the celebration of the constitutional centennial iu this city a preparatory convention will be held, at which delegates from thirty-eight States will be present. A call for this convention has already been drafted by a body known as "The American National Committee" composed of some twenty or thirty men. Although this Committee has been working very quietly they have been for over a year in active correspondence with more cr less prominent people throughout the country, and have laid the foundation for a solid party organization. They claim among their numbers over 1,500,000 persons, members of societies whose purpose ii to inculcate purely American ideas, some of which are a survival of some of the Know-nothing organization of 1854. General Master Workman Powderly is a prominent member of this new party, and has given utterances more than ence to the principles this new party proposes to stand on. These principles all start out from one central idea, the restriction of imigration. The September convention will devote it self to formulating a scheme to effect a thorough organization of State, county and township committees, and will call a convention to be held next January, prob ably in this city, when candidates for President and Vice-President and State tickets will be put in the field. Arrested lor M order. Gardner, I1L, August 22. Miss Sarah H, Dodge was arrested to-night on a charge of being the murderess of Babcock, the wealthy lumber man from Chicago, who is met dead from a mysterious Pistol shot re ceived at Gardner. Miss Dodge is . thirtyfive years of age and has been living alone with her mother on a farm. Babcock frequently visited them and seems to have paid marked attention recently to the daughter, notwithstanding that she is far from being attractive. Frank Hard on Cleveland. St. Paul. Minn.. Aueust 16. Hon. Frank Hard is,at present In the Northwest. Interviewed on matters political he said: "In my opinion the next Democratic Na tional Convention will find it incumbent upon itself to adopt the plank ot the Ohio Democracy in regard to the reform of the existing tariff laws, and this will be the sole issue between the two parties. As far as our standard-bearer is concerned, un doubtedly it will be Cleveland, for under no circumstances will Gov. Hill, of New York, be opposed to him. There, is an understanding between both ot them to this effect, and there is no opposition in any quarter now. It has been my Observation that a man who Is weak with the pouti and the efforts made by the incumbent of the white house in the direction of an honest administration of affairs have not been in vain. It makes no difference who is nominated bv the Republicans Blaine, Sherman. Depew. Sheridan, or any of the others whose names have been mentioned In connection with the presidency CleveI land will defeat any candidate in opposi tion to nun. uonsiaeraoie screws nas De en . . ti . i a laid upon the strength of Blaine as regards the Irish vote, but ne is not so strong in this element as he was two years ago, ana, beside, means will be taken to thwart the Republicans that were cot considered necessary in the last elec tion. Now that we know where an element of strength is supposed to be, we will devo'e our energies to weakening it, and with good grounds for succetsfal issue. As far as Senator Sherman is concerned, he has no positive strength, although it is claimed for him that he would -be backed by the financial men of the country. "During my recent visit to New York. I talked with numbers of business men who are Republicans, and from the tenor of their remarks I should say that ninetenths of them would support Cleveland at the rolls, and principally because there has been no serious interruption in the business of the country since the advent of the new administration." Senators Vest and' Cameron arrived In Minneapolis 'last evening, and went to Minnetonka to-day. They refuse to talk politics. A Boy's Brave Deed. Cihcihkati, August 16. Denny Wilcox, a lad 12 years old. the son of Dan Wilcox, a life sever and local oarsman on the Ohio river, has iust proved himself a hero from top to toe. He was out in the Ohio late last evening with Lülie Beiner, a child years old, when the steamer Guiding Star came along and made waves that capsized Denny's boat and threw him and Llllie Into the river. Denny swam to her, can tioned her to keep quiet, seized her by the arm, and with one hand swam through the rocking billow- to the Ohio shore and saved himself and her,

TIRED OF DICTATION, O. A, R. Posts of New York Refuse to Bwal- ; low the Pauper Pension BUL Nxw York, August 22. There is revolt among the members of the Grand Army of the Republic in this city in consequence of attempts that have been made to secure an endorsement of what - has been called the pauper pension bilL Gen. Lucien Fairchild, the commander-in-chief of the order, who, it is claimed, has been trying to boom himself for the presidency by his advocacy of such a measure, has met with a cutting rebuke from some of the most prominent Grand Army posts in New York city. When President Cleveland vetoed the dependent pension bill that was passed at the last session of Congress Fairchild set the example forviolent abuse of the chief executive. Several months ago the national executive officers of the order prepared the draft of a bill which it is proposed to present at tbe next sesion of congress. In order to influence legislation it was decided to secure an indorsement of the bill from as many posts as pessible throughout the country. The programme further contemplates the adoption of a memorial to congress by the Grand en campment wnen it meets at sc. Louis. Accordingly Gen. Fairchild issued a proclamation calling on the different posts throughout the country to vote on the bilL Within the past two weeks many of the fifty-one posts in New York city have brought up the . questions at their meetings. In some cases, Buch as that of Lafayette post, which took. up the bill for consideration on Friday night, special meetings were held for that purpose. The post voted unanimously not to indorse the bill, James T. Rice, No. 20, Phil Kearney No. 8, Veteran and McQuade posts, have already taken similar action. Instead of standing by General Fairchild, they have very generally condemned the bill Strenuous efforts have been made to whip the veterans into line, but not only have they withheld their indorsement, but in many instances protests have been forwarded to tbe national headquarters of the Grand Army of the Republic. 'This was all brought about by the 'bouse of lords,' as it is called," said an active member of the order to a reporter to-night "That is made up of men who heve been running things for years, and a good many of us have got tired of it. We propose now to show them that we won't be Dictated to. Besides that, there is too much politics in it, What aggravates the matter still more is the fact that snch a bill is likely to defeat a movement which is rapidly growing in strength, in favor of the passage of a graded service-pension bilL There are a good many who believe that soldiers should be pensioned cccording to the terms of their service. It would be only be right and proper that the men who defended tke Union should get a part of that $100,000,000 or more surplus that is rolling into the United States Trctsuay. At any rate, we don't want to be set down as paupers, which Is what Fairchilds' pet scheme would make us be. There is one graded-service pension association in this city, and by next winter others will be started all over the country." - The proposed bill, which has been dedounced and repudiated, removes many of tbe existing safeguards in the present pen eion laws to prevent frauds. It makes it easier for widows of deceased soldiers to prove their claims. Three months men are made eligible to pensions, which has not hitherto been allowed, and the parents end children of deceased veterans are ud erally provided for.

CUTTING DOWN WAGES-

Great Discontent Among- Laboren' at the Pullman Car.Workj. Several Etndxei End Molden at Cnicigg Thrown Oat of Work. Boot and Shoe Manufacturers cf New York Thieiten a General LocJt-ont. Nearly all the Delegates Elected by I). A. 40, K, of L.to the General Assembly Anti-Home Club Hen. Chicago, August 22. Discontent reigns once more amone the men at Pullman. It was caused by the announcement Saturday morning that the wages uLall trimmers were to be cut down, ten ver cent; There are nearly 100 men. in fue department, and for a time the striking Ben tiv ment ran high. A meeting ot the Knights oi ibor ot the rullman council was held Saturday evening, at which the situation was discussed. No decisive action was taken regarding the strike, which-the maioritv of the Knis?hts seemed tcx feel would be a bad thing at this time of year. Moreover. as two years ago a similar cut was followed by a general one in all the departments it was thought quite likely that this fall would see another order to the same effect, and it was therefore thought best to await results. The cause for the cut given by tbe company is slack orders, but the men claim that as the work is done by the piece, some men turn out an unusual amount cf work, and, in consequence, re ceive an unusual salary. The company, it is claimed, looks only at the amount earned, without regard to the hard work, and has consequently ordered the cut Jin wages. Ancther subject discussed at the meeting of Saturday was the intended stoppage ot work for the season at the brick yards. The men were cut on a strike from May until July, and are in a pitable financial condition. About 300 men, most of whom are married, will be thrown out of work by the shut down which is to occur Wednesday. The shut down takea-" place regularly a bent this time of year, and no more work will be done until next fcpring except the running for a short time longer of two chamber machines which together employ about ioriy men.

Fat Take of a Little Bock Printer Left a Fortune of a Half Million Little Rock, Ark., August 22. Aside from the phat" which falls to his "case" frcm natural succession, the printer neither hopes nor cares for the luscious plums enjoyed by some of the world's people. But a fortune that knocked a tenth ticket in a lottery sky high and lays to mt all legacies of smaller amounts, and which awaits a member of the craft to-day, developed itself in the northbound mail to this city. Mr. W. H. Fitzgerald, formerly of Sterling, Neb., received notice from both tbe First National Bank Of LansiDg, Mich-, and nfroiti the law firm of Strong & Fitzgerald of that ' city, informing him that $500,000 awaited his order in the above bank which bad-, been left him by an uncle lately deceased who was one of the founders of Lansing and for years a prominent merchant of' that place. Last week Mr. Fitzgerald rereceived news of bis uncle's death, it beinestated that he was mentioned in the old man's will for a good round sum, so today's confirmation only threw light on the amount rather than brought the information of the young man's good luck. ' Mr, Fitzgerald has lived in Little Rock; since April last, filling tbe position of case-holder, slug 8, on the Gazette. He accepts the stroke which raises him from penury and want to the position of aifluence and plenty as a matter of course and says he guesses the money will not turn his head. He is a member of the Centre Street M. E. church. South, of this city, ia strictly moral, and was 21 years of age last June. It is his intention to invest part of his capital in Little Rock real estate, and says he will continue to make the South, his home. This is probably the phattest "take" that has ever fallen to slug S'a case, and the boxes he will to-morrow vacate wiilundoubtedly.be celebrated after this as a "case cf good luck."
