CROPS AND TRADE.
Reports from Western PennsylVa-
MIA. Ohio and West Virginia.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Jane 25.-ReportsI from
40 towns in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and
West Virginia, regarding the condition of
the crops and of business, have been re-
ceived here. While in some particulars the
reports vary, they unite in very encour
aging total. The tenor of them is that, at
present, the outlook is favorable for fair
crop of wheat, although not quite up to
that of last YEARS., the effect of the recent
rains having neutralz3d the increase of
acreage. The same cause, together
with dry weather in May, has affected
the corn crop unfavorably, while
oats promise a fair yield, and the hay crop
is an unprecedented one. The fruit crop Is
not so promising. The prospects are that
there will be but a slight yield of apples
and very poor one of peaches. Small
fruits have, however, done excellently. Re
ports on the business outlook in the sur
rounding towns are exceedingly satisfac-
tory, with just enough exceptions to make
a rule. Trade Is reported as being very
brisk, with payments promptly made.
Farmers are out OF debt, or rapidly reducing
liabilities, and the country generally is in a
very sound and healthy condition.

LONDON, June 25.-In the House of Com
mons last night, Mr.. Rylands, Liberal, in
moving for further papers on the Anglo
Turkish convention, contended that in spite
OF the failure of the Turkish promises o
reform, the convention was binding on us,
and that 1t Is not impossible, in the event of
Armenian insurrection and Russian inter-
vention, we should be bound to
go to Turkeys assistance. He therefore
recommended that We should intimate dis
tlnctlY to Turkey that we withdraw from
the convention. As consequence of it, he
said, we should have to give up Cyprus,
which he strongly advised. Holding our
acquisition Of Cyprus was an infraction of
public law, and the cause, as he showed
from conversation of NJ. Waddington and
Lord Salisbury at Berlin, of the present diff
Guilty concerning Tunis.
Sir Henry Wolf, Conservative, said that
to hand back Cyprus TO Turkey would be to
restore 1t to misgovernment. There was no
analogy between our acquisition of Cyprus
and the French proceedings In Tunis.
Sir Charles w. Dixie, Under Foreign
secretary. said there were no papers which
could be laid before the House. He agreed,
he said, In much which Mr.. RYlands had
said In regard to the -Anglo-Turkish con-
sOu"Aon5 Oub AC pOAHtCu out budb IL was q
0lnerent thing to condemn the treaty,
and violently to upset the conven-
ton might endanger the peace of the East.
He hoped, therefore, the House ould not
press any course on the governm ent. He
believed that there was no analogy between
the acquisition of Tunis and of Cyprus.
although our example had been of bad
effect.
Mr.. Gladstone, afterwards by eulogizing
Mr.. Goschen's services at Constantinople,
stated that Lord Dufferin, the newly ap-
pointed Ambassador to that court, carried
with him instructions to put forward a set
tlement OF the Armenian question. Mr..
Gladstone violently attacked the Secretary
or the late government in regard to the
conversations of Lord Salisbury and M.
Waddington, and said If the French policy
In Tunis had been dangerous to the public
peace, and Ii it had involved a breach of
public faith, England, by the evil example
she eet, would have weakened her right to
protest against 1t. 1t was, he said, de-
parture from European concert which the
late government had thereby destroyed, and
which the government had labored and
would labor to rebuild. The House was
then counted out.
LONDON, June 26.-The Observer under
stands that 1t was decided at the Cabinet
meeting yesterday to ask the House of
Commons to concede the whole of Tues
days, Wednesdays and fridays sessions
OF every week to the Committee on the
Land Bill. The contingency was discussed
OF taking even further steps In the event of
this additional time not being sufficient to
get the bill out of the House of Commons
by the 16,h of July.

LONDON, June 25.-The Economist of this

has been comparatively quiet in the stock
exchange. There has been occasionally a
further tendency to depression, but the fall
in Canadian railroads has been really the
one important downward movement. The
drop was mainly due to speculative in
fuences. The reason assigned, namely,
the depression of through rates,
would equally have affected United States
roads, and they, on the contrary, are gen
orally little higher. Indian gold mines
are generally falling. The list of new

The New Comet.

Although q new comet is no cause for
marvel among astronomers, the sudden
appearance of the celestial visitant now
reported has had startling effect upon
them on both sides of the Atlantic. Its
arrival has been as unexpected as that OF
1850, which, the old records say, sud-
denly became visible in Western Europe
when its distance from the earth was
within seventy-five one thousandths
of the earth's mean distance
from the sun. 1t is probable the
comet now visible is the same thst
was reported on June 1, by Professor
Gould, from the National Observatory
of the Argentine Confederation, and ca
bled from the Cape of Good Hope at
little later date, On the 9th inst, a tele-
gram from Mr.. Gill, the astronomer at
the latter point, announced: Bright
comet discovered, which on June 16
will be near Gamma Orionis, and on
June 81 will be near Beta Aurig8 in
the Northern Hemisphere. It was
seen almost simultaneously by Profes-
sors Swift, of Rochester. and Sharpless,
of Philadelphia, and Professor Henry,
of Paris, the last named observer having
seen it about five hours before it was
noticed in Philadelphia kilograms
from London, as we'll as all parts of this
country, indicate that it was very gener-
orally observed, and astronomers are
already calculating its course. 1t is be-
tween the bright star Capella and the
horizon, carrying tail about five de-
grees long, or about as long as the dis
tance between the two pointers
in the constellation of the
Great Bear, and is visible
between half-past two and four
o'clock a. m. 1t seems as yet impossi-
BILE to ascertain whether it is, as DR..
Gould and others suppose. the great
comet of 1907, the diameter of whose
nucleus, as measured by Herschel, was
538 miles. This remarkable comet was
the finest that had appeared since that of
1860, and was discovered by Pons, at
Marseilles, on September 90 In ten
days its nucleus became as clear as a
star of the second magnitude. its tail
distinctly visible, and on October 5
it was seen in the northwest, not
far distant from Arcturus a month
later its tail had undergone division, and
it soon became invisible. 1T was seen
at times to exhibit corruscations or
flashes of light" says Professor Watson,
mot unlike what is exhibited in the case
of the aurora borealis, and it was asserted
that in less than one second of tine
streamers might be seen to shoot out
from the body of the tail to a distance
oftwo and half degrees" IF the present
visitor proves to be the comet of 1907 we
may loot for some exceedingly fine COM
etary displays, and in any event it
promises to be well worth the closest
study of astronomers, as we'll as the adj
miring public gaze. The great improve
menis in astronomic instruments, and
especially tie advance in spectroscopy,
warrant the expectation that the present
opportunity for examining this magnifi-
cent meteor will prove most fruitful in
scientific results.

IMPORTANT RAILWAY SUIT.
The Texas and Southern Pacific at

DENVER, COL, June 25.-A special from

furthermore denies that the grant consti-

its willingness to pay the complainant six

War Upon the Lotteries.

A New York letter to the Philadel-
phia Ledger says: "The authorities have
recommended a vigorous campaign
against the lottery establishments here.
with view of totally extirpating them.
The job has frequently been undertaken
heretofore, but it has uniformly failed
for well known reasons, which it is un-
necessary to recapitulate. Whether il
will be any more successful now we
shall Soon see. The first demonstration
has been against the Louisiana State
Lottery Company, and also against NJ. A.
Dauphin, Chaa. I. Howard and others
whose property, including bank ac
counts, has been seized by the Deputy
Sheriff on a warrant granted bv
Judge Daniels, for $17a. 600, at the suit
OF Abraham O. jackson, who, il is al
legged, purchased upwards of $S6 600
tickets since 1875. The precedent for
granting this warrant is the decision of
the Court of Appeals in q euit against
the Kentucky lottery, started in Roches-
ter and carried by 9. e. Simmons to the
Appellate Court. The principle there
affirmed was, that double the amounts
paid for tickets, and costs, could be re-
covered as penalty in the event of an
adverse decision against the lottery peo.
pie, and this penalty Simmons had to
pay. Counsel for the plaintiff in the
present instance says these civil
actions viii do more to break
