Addft1onal Crop hepOrts from the Az.
rfcuItural Rureau.

NASHVILLE, May 23.-Since the publica-
ton of the April report of the State Agri-
cultural Bureau the commissioner has re-
ceived advices from nearly every county in
Tennessee. The wheat crop is of unusual
promise, much of it being already harvested.
There is very little damage from rust or the
army worm. The crop will be fifty per cent
over the average, counting the increased
acreage. The corn crop is in good condi-
ton, though little backward from the cool
weather. Oats are doing well, with an in
crease in acreage of fifty per cent. Cotton
has suffered from the cold weather, but the
indications are favorable to its recovery, and
better crop is expected than seemed proba-
BILE few weeks ago. The general crop out
look is better than it has appeared for years
at this season. All the May reports thus far
are encouraging

DAVENPORT, May 23.-At 2 o'clock this
morning heavy snow-storm set in here,
and continued for four and a half hours
Fully three inches of snow fell, but at day
light only about one inch was on the ground
because of its melting. No such storm is re-
membered as having occurred here before
The nearest to it was on the 9TH of May,
1916, when about the same kind of storm
prevailed. The frost yesterday morning did
much damage to vegetables and small fruits
in this region.

THE New York Tribune says of the Lye o,
Lon9fellow, by Mr.. Francis H. Underwood
the protector of the Addntis Monthly, that II
is "a biography written in the right spirit
one that is written to show its subject and
not its author In this spirit Mr.. Underwood
has written the Life Of LongtelIoU. The book
is charming, from the first to the last. There
is not an error of taste in it, and it does not
leave untouched salient point in Longfel-
lows career. The reticent yet not barren
simplicity of its style is matched by the can
dor and gentleness of its mood. Accurate
knowledge of every topic that is named sug-
gests itself, with steady and satisfying force,
throughout the narrative, and the vein OF
criticism that runs through it-a criticism
that seeks to appreciate with intelligence,
and to state conclusions with clearness and
attractive grace-is marked by courage,
sense and manly intellectual grasp that
thinkers will respect. IL is an excellent and
admirable book, and there is not lover oil
Longfellow to whose hands it may come who
will not welcome and prize it."

Chicago, March 11.-There are some
curious facts connected with the publ
cation of the Garfield Rosecrans' let
ter that should be borne in mind. The
letter first saw light in the New York
Sun. The editor of the Sun is a warm
personal friend Of Conkling. A brother
of the ex-senator is a stakeholder in the
paper, and it has uniformly defended
the conduct of the superb Roscoe. The
letter was addressed to Governor Chase.
1t was preserved among his papers, and
those papers were inherited by his
daughter, Kate Chase Sprague. Now,
by what means did this letter find its
way into the columns of the New York
sun? The merits of the controversy
aroused by the letter need not be en-
tered into, but the manner of its publ
cation would seem to show that a de-
liberate attempt had been made to
blacken the memory of Garfield and dis
credit Gartieldism. Hence it is impor-
tant to know how that publication was
procured. The defense made of the
letter by GaIfeld's friends in Washing
ton is that the facts set forth were
true; that the letter was confidential,
and addressed to a personal friend
that it made 10 appeal to anybody in
authority over Rosecrans, but was
precisely such a letter as thousands of
army officers were constantly writing
home to their friends under seal OF
strict privacy. These defenders Of
Garfield's memory assert that it is an
annoying thing to charge a want OF
patriotism upon him for writing what
seems on its face to be a patriotic let
ter. 1t is sufficient to notice the man
ner of the publication of the letter.

Chicago, March 11.-Mayor Harrison
writes 10 the Times that in 1854, being
invited by the prominent gentlemen of
this city to be present at a private re-
ception in honor of Garfield, he was
struck by the high praise accorded by
Garfield to Gen. Rosecrans. From a
conversation he had with Garfield he
found that he regarded Rosecrans as
one Of the most skillful of generals,
and as one Of the most worthy of men,
His communication was earnest and left
no ground for doubt as to its sincerity.
The major intimates that he regards
the recently published letter attributed
to Garfield and attacking Gen. Rose
Grams, as a forgery.

New York, March lion the ques-

Cinnamon take in this question, and
the fact that they read the papers, was
illustrated in the clerks office of COM

hurried in and wanted to get at once
their Papers ''to voice" but Jervis, the
clerk of the court, found they never
had declared their intentions, and
therefore they had to stop at that point,
and will have to wait two years more
before they can ''votee."
or course il the bill passed by the
senate, with its amendments, becomes
u law, it will prevent the state as wei
as federal courts from issuing any more
naturalization papers to Cinnamon, but
the fifteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition will protect the rights Of thos,
