THE CROPS.

Interesting Report as to Their Condition . in the Northwest. Chicago, Aug. I.—The reports as to the condition of crops throughout the northwest, and the general influence j of the weather on growth, cultivation I and harvest, was made by the direct- ' ors of the different state weather I services of the United States weather bureau. The reports received by teleI graph here are as foHows: | Illinois—Temperature above normal; rains ever considerable part of state of Immense benefit to crops. Of ninety-nine counties, | thirty-one indicate corn good. There is damage of 25 to 50 per cent., mostly on upland fields; bottom lands generally good. Indiana—Badly distributed showers since Friday and rains the preceding week sustained corn in many fields; corn in heavy soil in best condition; good color, tasseling and ears api pearing; but on light and clay soil corn has | suffered much; rain in five to ten days will se- ' cure a good crop still. Wisconsin—Another week of drought and excessive heat. Corn and potatoes suffering severely: will be a failure in some counties; corn still lookswell in eastern section: pastures dead, stock being fed and milk short. Many hay and cranberry marshes burned. lowa—Reports show great damage to corn by drouth and hot winds. With favorable future conditions this state may possibly harvest half crop, but every day’s continuance of drouth lowers prospect for that amount. Small grain yields better than expected. Minnesota —Hot and dry, harvest progressing; pasturage poor; hay mostly secured; potatoes suffering; corn acreage very large, stand good, growth heavy and well advanced. Drought at critical stage did great damage and ears will be small; considerable being cut for feed; chinch bugs have also done much injury. South Dakota:—Excessively dry hot weather very Injurious to all growing crops. Corn mostly in tassel and silk; damaged and ears not setting; In northern portion will make fair crop with immediate rain; elsewhere mostly Injured beyond redemption; many farmers cutting for fodder. Ohio—Drouth damaging corn, tobacco, late potatoes and grass. Bottom land corn is still in fair condition, but uplands seriously damaged; present prospect for poor development and yield below the average. Wheat thrashing out well: oats light; tobacco fair to bad; firing some. Michigan—Corn shows half of acreage good; third, medium fair; sixth, poor; growth uneven; estimate will increase or diminish according to future rainfall; pastures drying up; wheat, oats, rye and barley harvested. Nebraska—Corn is almost ruined west of 99 meridian, except in extreme northwest counties where very little is grown; in remainder of state advices indicate that in northern part two-thirds to three-quarters crop ruined, and in south part varies from 10 to 90 per cent ruined. The continued drought over the principal corn-producing states of the central valleys and northwest states has resulted in great damage to the corn crops. Very unfavorable reports as to the condition of the crops are received from South Dakota, lowa, Minnesota, Missouri and Oklahoma, while less unfavorable reports came from Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, the crop in those states suffering greatly on the upland. In the southern states corn is generally in excellent condition, and in Georgia the heaviest crop for many years is predicted. Reports as to cotton continue very favorable, although some slight injurj- has resulted from excessive cloudiness and heavy local rains in portions of South Carolina and Florida. Tobacco is doing well in Tennessee and in some portions of Maryland,Virginia and Kentucky, but reports from Ohio are unfavorable. Denver. Col, July 31.—Dispatches from six counties in eastern Colorado, along the Kansas and Nebraska lines, report that owing to the hot winds the crops will be a total failure. Many farmers are Laving in search of employment, and many more would go if they could get away. Great suffering and hardships will surely result, as the crop was very light last wear.

FOR A LABOR CONGRESS.

A Movement to Biting Employer and Employe Together. Chicago, Aug. I.—The special committee appointed by the civic federation to consider the advisability of calling a national conference of representative men to consider the labor question, and the question of arbitration in particular, on Tuesday night took counsel of some of the leading business men and prominent trade-unionists of the city. The decision was almostunanimous in favor of the proposed conference, and the civic federation committee will hold a meeting in a few days, at which a call for the meeting will be prepared, the date for the conference decided upon and a list of persons who will be invited to attend will be made up. All of those present favored a conference of a national character which should be composed of employersand employes. It was the general opinion that even if no agreement could be reached on compulsory arbitration an understanding of the motives of the employers and employes might be gained, and data secured for the effectual employment of concilatory measures, which would have the effect of preventing many strikes in tire future.

CAN’T LEAVE THEIR TRAINS.

Striking Engineers of a Mail Train Guilty of Retarding the Mali. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. I.—An engineer who abandons a mail train is guilty of a violation of the United States statute relating to retarding of the mails. Judge .Williams announced the fact Tuesday in ruling upon the indictment against Engineer William Best and Fireman Albert Kellett. He directed an acquittal of the men on the charge of conspiracy to do an unlawful act because of the failure of proof, but he chiefly stated that he thought them guilty of the charge of retarding the mail in deserting their train on a main line. The principal thing the strikers were anxious to have established in the case was that a man could legally abandon his tr.?in, but the judge decided the other way. This rulling was also ciesired by the railroad company much more than a conviction of the men on trial. The decision comes in a direct ruling on a p >i»t discussed and not as an obiter dictum.

JAPAN TOO SKILLFUL.

China No Match for Her in Naval War* fare—Another Fight at Sea. Shanghai, l—The Japanese have been victorious in the first big 1 naval battle of the war over Corea and have sunk next to the largest battleship in the Chinese navy. The battle was fought Monday and was desperately contested, both nations being represented by large and strong fleets. The Chinese, however, did not understand the handling of their ships as well as the Japanese, and that put them at a serious disadvantage. The full details of the fight cannot be obtained yet, but it is known that the Chen-Yuen was sunk and two other large Chinese vessels, believed to be first-class cruisers, were either captured or destroyed. The loss ol life was great also. The Chinese fleet carried nearly 1,000 men, and few, if any, escaped. Two German officers, who were in command of the ChenYuen, are reported to be the lost also. Throughout the engagement the Japanese showed greater skill and ability in the handling of their boats and consequently had things much their own way. Their work with the guns was effective and they also showed that they thoroughly understood the handling of torpedoes. The Chinese did the best they could, but they were lacking in seamanship and also in ability to handle their guns effectively. They demonstrated the truth of the claim that they have nothing like the ability and training of the Japanese seamen and gunners, and are at a big disadvantage on the water. The two cruisers said to have been captured or destroyed are believed to be the ones built for China by the Armstrongs. They were modern war vessels and among the best in the Chinese navy. Their loss will seriously cripple China on the water and materially increase Japan's advantage. A harder blow could hardly have been dealt China in a single battle than the destruction of her two cruisers and the big war ship ChenYuen. The loss of life is insignificant compared to it, although that was severe for a naval battle. The Chen-Yuen was a battleship of 7,400 tons displacement, carrying 14% inches compound armor at the waterline. Her battery included four 12inch guns, protected by an armor breastwork, and two smaller Krupps. She was also furnished with eleven Hotchkiss cannon and tubes for Whitehead torpedoes. In addition, the Chen-Yuen had two 8%-inch and 6-inch Krupps in her main battery of Hotchkiss revolving cannon. The Chen-Yuen was built for China at the Stettin works. She was a sister ship of TingYuen and was the most powerful warship in the Chinese navy with the exception of the Ting-Yuen. It is reported that the Japanese forces attacked the Chinese position at Yashan Friday and Saturday last. The Japanese,/ it is said, were repulsed with heavy loss. The Chinese loss was trivial. The Japanese are withdrawing troops from Seoul to reinforce their army near Yashan. London, Aug. 1. —The correspondent of the Times at Pekin says government and diplomatic circles were shocked by the news of the sinking by a Japanese cruiser of the transport Kow Shung and the loss of so many lives. According to the reports received at Pekin only eleven men of the 2,000 aboard the Kow Shung were saved. The attitude of the Chinese government since it learned of the loss of the troop ship has completely changed. Hitherto it has been inclined to be conciliatory, but the indications now are that it will pursue the war against Japan with the utmost vigor.
