CONDITION OF CROPS.

WEATHER BUREAU’S WEEKLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. Weather Abnormally Cool and Unfavorable for Germination and Growth Farm Work Retarde I in Some Sections by Rains. The weekly crop report of the weather bureau shows that over the greater part of the country east of the Rocky Mountains the week has been abnormally cool and unfavorable for germination and growth. Nxcessive rains retarded farm work in the States of the middle Rocky Mountain slope and lower Missouri valley, while a large part of the lake region, southern Florida and California need rain. With the exception of portions of the lake region, Florida, Texas and California, there is generally ample moisture in the soil, and the conditions now most needed, especially iu the central valleys and middle Atlantic States, are sunshine and warmth. In Texas, where it has been very dry, good rains hare fallen over the eastern and central portions of the State. Slow progress has been made with corn planting, none having yet been planted north of the Ohio river or farther north than southern Missouri to the westward. Poor stands are generally reported in the Southern States, where the bulk of the crop has been planted, and a portion is under cultivation. Nearly all reports from the winterwheat .States show that winter wheat has made favorable progress, although its growth has not been rapid, owing to low temperatures. In Texas the crop has been materially improved where rains have fallen, but in that State, as well as iu Oklahoma, the crop has been seriously damaged by insects. On the Pacific coast the condition of the crop continues promising, with the exception of the late sown in California, which is suffering for rain. Spring wheat seeding is well advanced over the southern portion of the springwheat region, and some has beeu sown oil the highlands in northern Minnesota. In South Dakota the early sown is germinating well. Oat seeding iias been rapidly pushed in portions of the central valleys, some having been sown as far north us southern Minnesota and New York, but slow progress has been made in Kentucky and portions of Missouri. Although some cotton has been planted in the northern portion of the cotton belt, and planting is general in the central and southern districts, the cool weather has retarded thus work, and that planted is germinating slowly. In Virginia, the Carolinas and Kentucky tobacco plants are very backward, but in Maryland they are in a more thrifty condition.

The agency also keeps hint posted as to the names of heiresses who are still "iu the market," and for an extra fee will .secure an intro duet ion to the desired oue. In exceptional eases, where there is a fair prospect of getting the money hack with liberal interest, the agency will procure some one to "grub stake" the noble adventurer while he is engaged in. his finest fur a wealthy wife. It is rum >red that a number of impecunious individuals, with handles to their names, will be "grub staked" to America this year to prospect for matrimonial pay ore.

GEN. DE WOGACK, MASTER OF RUSSIAN FORCES AT TIEN-TSIN.

As commander of the Russian forces ■t Tien-tsin, Hen. De Wogack is the instrument of the Czar’s military power in the present world crisis. He has spent innuy years in the Orient, and is one of the most trustworthy servnnts of his monarch. For upwards of ten years he has watched over Russia’s interests in China. His character is described as that of a man who knows where he desires to E?t to and how he can best encompass bis wish. Difficulties are welcomed by him because they only go to show his superior power of resource. No European soldier now in China is Wognck’s peer in knowledge of the country and its people. and none is more brave, more cunning, more determined or more devoted, heart and soul, to the master he serves.

ROUSED BY MANY ROBBERIES.

Government Urges Postmasters to Take Better Care of Funds. The rustotfice Department, roused by numerous robberies throughout the country, notably that of SI,OOO in bills at Chicago recently, has issued the following general instructions to postmasters regarding the care of government funds and stump supplies: Postmasters arc required to exercise the greatest care and give the best possible protection to Government funds and stamp supplies In their custody. During business hours money, postage stamps, etc., must he kept so as to be inaccessible to the public and concealed from view. If the postodice, wheu unoccupied, is not stteli a safe place as to warrant the postmaster in leaving his personal funds therein all Government mould's, postage stamps, etc., must be removed therefrom to a place of the greatest possible safety. The law provides that a postmaster may deposit his funds in a national bank if there be one in his town,'city or county. If, however there be no national bank so located and a private hank be accessible there will be no objection to a postmaster placing his Government funds, postage stamps, etc., therein, provided that they lie placed in a private receptacle as ills official property and subject to ills exclusive control, and that this be done at Ills own risk and expense.

THE RAILROADS.

Chinese and Japanese laborers are to be dispensed with by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads. The Vanderbilts and the Canadian dines are again in a row over the routing of New England passenger business. Seven roads west of the Missouri river have practically decided to form au interchangeable mileage ticket bureau. Secretary Gage has decided to sell the government's interest in the Sioux City anJ Pacific rbad to the highest bidder. In deference to a recent Supreme Court decision 2 cents per mile is now the passenger rate of the Wabash road iu Michigan. Among the equipment recently turned out by the Pullman company are three magnificent dining cars for the >'_ew York Central road. In the proposed extensions of the Chicago Great Western is to bo found sutficient reason for the alleged eagerness of the Harriuinn people to buy the road. The roads in the Southwestern Passenger Association hive determined that bicycles are vehicles, and not baggage; consequently ini bicycles will be checked free hereafter. Grain went' east from Chicago last week to the amount of 2.772,443 bushels. Flour shipments amounted to 177,1500 barrels and dressed beef traffic footed It has been decided by of the roads east of Buffalo that during the coming summer season no round-trip tickets east or west bound will he sold between New York and Chicago. The Santa Fe proposes td spend a large part of its surplus for improvements on its lines during the present year. About 54.000.U00 will be expended and the telegraph lines will be greatly improved ulso. Passenger officials of the Burlington lilies are discussing the advisability of inaugurating a new system oi checking baggage which would relieve the traveler of n great deal of annoyance. The proposed system consists of checking baggage direct from homes and hotels. Oue of the highest and lougest railroad bridges ever built west of Chicago is now being constructed over the Des Moines river fourteen miles west of Ames, lowa, by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company. The structure when finished will have cost SOOO,(MR), of which S4SO,<HHt will be in steel work and $150,000 in the substructure. The spans directly over the river will be IKS feet in height and the entire length of the structure will be over one-half mile, or 2,<HO feet. The length of the span crossing the river is 300 feet. The deck of the bridge is thirty feet wide aud is intended for double track. JnuicH Charlton, chairman of the Transcontinental Passenger Association, has issued a ruling regarding circuitous route rates for the Epworth League meeting in Sun Francisco next July. The chairman decides that no rate shall be applied through any gateway going or returning which is less than the rate from the gateway through which it is applied. This will make the rate from St. Louis, for example, going via the Missouri river and direct routes and returning via Portland and St. Paul. S3O, os the circuitous rout* rate from St. Paul has been fixed at that figure.

FORMALLY VOTES NO.

CUBAN CONVENTION REJECTS PLATT AMENDMENT. Votes in Same Motion to Sand a Commission to Washington—Acts of Local Government in Havana Promote Discontent and Distrust. The constitutional convention In Havana, Cuba, on Friday voted on a combination proposition to send a commission to Washington, after categorical rejection of the I’latt amendment. The vote was divided on the motion-in this form, some believing that a commission would be necessary after a flat rejection of the Platt amendment. The motion was carried, 18 to 10, some members voting against it who are known to be opposed to the I’latt amendment proposition. Beyond a doubt the last few days have shown the development of a feeling of discontent and resentment in Havana. This is due to various causes more or less directly connected with the method of handling the political situation, especially the arrogntion of interference with the judicial authority. This has been illustrated in the case of the suppression of a newspaper, in the matter of the gas company, in the arbitrary imprisonment of members of the staff of a labor union paper, called L’Estivador, without trial, and in the position of the military government in the matter of the choice of a Mayor of Havana. There is also a growing feeling among all classes, due to Washington cablegrams asserting thnt sovereignty will be assumed by America in case the Platt amendment is not accepted, ot distrust of the local administration, extending to Washington and the American people, because it is feared that these local nets, which seem to form part of a plan to compel the acceptance of the Platt plau, are receiving the support of the American people. The situation is beginning to present rather serious features, even among the conservative classes, many of whom now support the convention in opposition to the Platt amendment. Reliable private sources of information in Santiago-prov-ince report thnt secret preparations are being made for a forcible resistance to the imposition of the Piatt amendment.

RECORD OF EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK. Ruling; iu Wfiltecap Case—Evansville Woman Restored to Life with BaltTwo Families Foisoned with Arsenic in Well Water. A ruling was made by Judge Baker of the United States Court on the motion to strike out certain parts of the complaint of David W. .leanings, who has brought suit against Eli W. Menaugh and twenty-five other residents of Salem for s‘Ji)o,<)Oo damages. Judge Baker overruled the motion ns it applied to the more important points of the case. The court refused to sustain the motion to strike out the part relating to /an alleged attempt of the citizens to whitecap Jennings. Judge Baker said if this charge were true Jennings would be clearly entitled to substantial damages.

Strong stimulants were administered in vain, and fivo doctors pronounced her dead. As a last resort a vein in the right arm was opened and tlie salt solution injected. In three seconds the patient arose on the operating table and asked for something to eat. Her chances of recovery are said to lie good.
