tho Chamber of Deputies.

Weather and Crons.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26-The weather-crop
bulletin issued to-day reports the weather dur
ing the past week especially favorable for har.
vesting and farm-work in the Northwest The
wheat harvest progressed ranidly in the central
and northern portions of Dakota aud Minnesota,
from which region the reports indicate that the
damage to the wheat crop from the frosfs Of last
week was largely overestimated- This morn
iugs report indicates that favorable harvest
weather will continue in that section during the
early part Of the week. In the porthern por-
tions of the corn belt the weather was favorable,
but the growth OF tbe plant was retarded by the
low temperature. Very light frosts occurred in
Michigan and northern Illinois on the 22d.
probably causing no injury TO the crops High
winds damaged corn in Tennessee. Kentucky,
Indiana. Ohio. Pennsylvania aud New Jersey.
but the attending rains will undoubtedly i'm
prove the crop. In the northern and western
portions of New England the weather was fs-
vorable for growing crops. bat some damage
doubtless resulted from high winds and heavy
rains In the southern portion.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-The Cossack expedition to
Thibet. under command of General Preievalsky
Of the Russian army, is exciting great deal OF
suspicion here as to the real motives actuating 6
the Gar in ordering it. Ostensibly the expedi-
tion is sent out for tine purposes of exploration,
but it suspected that its real object is that of
checking certain English movements and pre-
venting the inauguration Of others on the
Thibetan and Bokharan borders. The ex-
ploration theory has been made plausible
by giving the expedition scientific character in
its accompanying corps of engineers, biologists,
etc., but the fact that the government subscribed
$4,000 roubles toward the expenses Of the ex-
pedition. as we'll as furnishing it with an escort
bearing much closer resemblance to an army
of invasion than an ordinary body guard,

expected to be employed much more frequently
