All Against We Plant.


WASHINGTON, Augdet 1O.-The August
cotton returns to the Dspsrtmeut Of Agricu!-
ture are lees favorable than these cf July.
The condition is lower in every State except
tFo on the northern border OF the balt-Vir-
ginia and Tennessee. The plant is suffering
from the meteorological vsgaries of this Pc
culiar season. 1t was too cold in May and
too dry in July. 10 Georgia the injury is
greatest, the condition falling from SO to 20.
In South Carolina the decline has been from
81 to so. The prolific cotton belt Of
Middle Alabama suffered severely from
drouth, while southern counties aud The
valley OF the Tennessee had sessonsble
weather. fhe upland counties of Central
aud Northeastern Mississippi report injury
from ths drouih very generally. There Is
need of rain in the central ard southern por.
tiop, but the drouth has been less general
and injurious than in Georgia. Thsre has
b.en ample rain in a large portion Of the
Louisiana cotton district, and in nearly all the
cotton counties of Florida, in Tennessee gener-
ally, and in the jority of North Carolina
counties. Where the drouth has bean tae
seyerest, fields stimulated by CONNER
cial fertilizers are fruiting the top crop
prematurely. The plants are dying up, as is
usually the case under these circumstances.
The general average condition has fallen to
81, from 80 in July. The record stan6s by

The Senator's inquiries were directed princi-

a tenure in severalty instead OF tenure in

Tor urged them to take their lands,
100 acres to each head OF family,
and eighty acres to unmarried indians.
They have 2 100000 acres in this reservation,
and about 1900 Indians, both tribes included,
and under this tenure in severslty, 900

against the tenure in severalty. They were
very anxious 10 have permission to trade
with the post traders at the fort, which is

ing that they would only receive 81 for =
