 House-Favorable Crop Reports.
 WASHINGTON Aug. 27.-The weather crop | bulletin reports the weather during the past week especially favorable for harvesting and | farm work in the northwest The wheat kar- | vest progressed rapidly in the central and 1 northern portions of Dakota and Minnesota, from which region the reports indicate that the damage to the wheat crop from the frosts of last week was largely overestimatei | The reports indicate that favorable harvest weather will continue in that section during the carly part of the week. In the northern portions of the corn belt the weather was favorable but the growth of the pant was retarded by tue low temperature. Very light frosts occurred in Michigan and nor hern Illinois on the 32d, probably causing no injury to the crops Reports Grom Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Caro- lima and South Carolina indicate that the weather for the week has been favorable to all crops High winds and heavy rains did considerable damage to growing crops in Louisiana and Mississippi High winds alSo damaged c I'll in TennesseN, Kentucky, In diana, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Jersey, but the attending rains will doubtless i'm prove the crops In tho northern and western portions of New England the weather was favorable for growing crops, but some dam age doubtless resulted from high winds and heavy rains in the southern portion.
 THIS WEEK IN THE SENATE
 It is probable that the presidents message and the leg station he has asked for will oc- cupy most of the time of congress this week It is understood that several speeches will be delivered in the senate on the subject The message is now upon the desk of the presi- dent of the senate, with a motion by MT. Sherman to refer it to the committee on foreign relations. The talk will also turn upon the resolution of MT Hoar, calling upon the state department for the corre- spondence had with Canada relating to the fisheries troubles.
 Mr Wilson, of Iowa, who had the floor when the senate adjourned on Thursday and was talking upon the Jackson (Aliss.) elec- tions, will resume his speech when the mes- sage is referred. The territorial statehood bills will come in for their share of atten- tion if opportunity is presented. The fort- tications appropriation bill may be reported during the week.

BASE BALI. - The contest with
Cape May on Tuesday ut Slaughter
Beach resulted in defeat for Milford.
The very appearance of the clubs as
they took their places argued for this
result. The visiting club was AS fine
a set ofathletes as one might wish TO
look upon, and the home team, with
no uniform and general struggling
look, seemed not at all tit to cope with
them. But despite the odds close
and interesting game ensued. Cape
May was first at bat, and went out
without reaching first. Milford fol-
lowed with same result. In the sec
ond inning J. Lank muffed ball and
let in run for Cape May; and neither
scored again until the fourth inning,
when run was scored by Cape May
ON passed ball of Demareat. Both
clubs then got down to steady work,
aud though Milford got four men
around to 81 base, and Cape May got
three men on the same base. no one
reached home until the ninth inning,
when two earned runs were scored uy
Cape May, and another man worked
to Sd base, from which he came home
on short grounder, The score by
innings was:
Cape May, o 40
Milford, o o 90
The work of both teams was credit
able, and in consideration of the dis
parity of strength and practice Of the
two, Milford played AN extraordinary
