Prof. Dodge Shows that the Situa-
tiOn is Not a Hopeless One.
AsHINGTON. July 12-Prof. Dodge.
Statistcian of the Agricultural Depart
ment, says concerning the various esti-
mates made from his last report on the
wheat crop, that though the average Of
the condition OF spring wheat on July
last was 96, it fell to SO at the time OF har-
vest, which is only points higher than
the present condition. and this represents
loss OF less than G,G00,000 bushels, as
compared with the result of last years
harvest. The damage occurred last year
IN the last two weeks Of July and later.
There is great risk of further damage
during July and August, but that already
reported means only a loss of &, ,O00. 600
bushels in spring wheat and 100000 in
winter wheat, or a total loss Of II, ,000, 900
in wheat during the month of June.

THE SURPLUS.
There is the best of reason for saying
that il the Morrison resolution providing
for the redemption of bOnos with all but
500, 600, 0O0 OF the surplus in the Treas
ury should pass both houses, as 1t IS pre-
dicted 1t will, the President would veto it
on the ground that the bonds would in
that event have to be redeemed IN silver
dollars. 1t is not probable, however, that
it will pass the Senate.

Commencing at point one mile west of

a point between Clifton and Ash
KUN, the storm moved a path three
to four miles wide, destroying every
species or vegetation in its
path. LuXuriant fields OF corn
SIX feet high were cut close to the ground.
Timothy and oats were moved down as
though harvester had passed through
them, and scores OF farmers are raking mp
these crops, which have never felt the
touch OF a sickle. Not only are these
crops cut to pieces by hail, but they are
in many cases fairly pounded into the
ground. Every window on the north side
of the buildings on the track is rddled.
Houses and barns were unroofed and
stock killed. Adam Fritz, in Pilot town.
ship, was struck by lightning and killed.
