The New Catholic University to Be Located
at the National Capital-Bishop Ireland,
of Minnesota in Charge of the Project.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May lit was
officially announced in the Catholic
churches of this city, athigh mass yester-
day, that Washington had been selected
as the site of the new Catholic university.
A conference of Catholic church men was
held in Baltimore last week to decide this
matter, and after mature consideration
Washington was selected. Bishop Ire.
land, of Minnesota, who was deputed to
select the ground and make arrangements
for the erection of the university, In
an address yesterday at st. Matthew's
Church, said this city was a good open
ing because it possessed greater literary,
scientific, political and philosophic ad-
vantages than any other city in the coun-
try. 1t, as the capital of the Nation, was
the center of the social and literary life
OF the country, and while other
cities had offered greater money
Inducements to have the University
located in their midst, none could offer
the inducements which were peculiar tu
Washington.
The nucleus for the establishment OF
this university was the donation last fall OF
Miss Caldwell, of New York, of $500, 900,
which amount was accepted by the Cath
olic Council in Baltimore, and sum
added which will insure its erection.

CROP REPORTS.

The May Report of the Department. of
Agriculture-Cotton Well Advanced, But
Wheat, With But Few Exceptions, Show
ing Up Badly-The Average of Condition
In the Wheat Producing States
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 9.-The May
crop report of the Department of Agri-
culture relates to the progress eff spring
plowing and of cotton planting, and to
the condition of winter grain, meadows
and pastures. 1t also reports the pre-.
vailing rates of wages of farm labor.
Cotton planting, though comparatively
late, is well advanced, fully four-flfths of
the proposed area having been planted.
The usual proportion seeded on the hrst
of May is probably five per. cent
greater. Last year but two-thirds
of the area was in termination
at this date. Rains in Texas have de-
layed work In planting. Everywhere
it was begun late, but the progress has
at most points been unusually rapid.
The -plan have been slow in ger
mination on dry areas, and have not
yet made their appearance at many
points.
Spring plowing, in preparation for
planting, Is everywhere late. Last year
at this date it was estimated to be two
thirds done. This year it is scarcely six
tenths. The estimated average of series
of years exceeds seven-tenths. Less
than half of this work is done
In the Eastern States, In
New York, Ohio and Michigan. A much
larger proportion is finished in the North
west, where corn, potatoes and other late
planted crops are grown In smaller pro-
portion.
The injury to the winter wheat crop
was greater than appearances indicated
on the lst of April. The roots were
killed in the central belt even worse
than was supposed. In New York
the snow protection was ample,
except in spots, and in Michigan no ma.
terial injury occurred. But in the Ohio
Valley and in Missouri, reports of condi-
tion are much reduced. In the South, 8
slight improvement in the prospect has
occurred. The average Of condi
tion In the principal wheat-growins
States is as follows: New York
95; Michigan, 100; Ohio, So; Kentucky
As; Indiana, 10; Illinois, AZ; Missouri
60; Kansas, 81. The general ayerege /,
20, instead of 79, as in April, reduc
tion of nine per cent, reducing the indi
Gated production of winter wheat t.
about two hundred and forty million
bushels.
The condition Of rye is also lower thai
in April, yet much better than wheat. th
