GOOD CROP WEATHER
All Portions Of the Country Excepting
Dakota Has been Favored.

WASHINGTON. June 29.-The week end
ing june % has been cooler than usual In
all agricultural districts, except in Dakota
average for the week. In the Ohio valley,
the lake region and the middle Atlantic
states, including the tobacco regions of
Kentucky and Virginia, the daily tenn
perature ranged from to 9 degrees be-
low the normal, while in the cotton region
and the Missouri valley the temperature
ranged from 3 to degrees below the
normal, about one week in advance of
Dakota, northwestern Minnesota and
northern Nebraska.
The rain fall for the season continues in
excess along the Atlantic coast from New
York to Florida and from the Missouri val
ley southwestward to the west gulf coast
amounting to about so per cent Of the
normal in northwestern Minnesota and
northeastern Dakota. Showers, however,
occurred in this region during the week,
and well distributed rains occurred on the
Pacific coast from San Francisco north
ward to Washington territory. The rain
fall in the grain region was from one
fourth to three-fourths o. an inch.
The weather has been favorable for all
growing crops throughout the central val
leys and northwest, except in Dakota,
wheat, oats and barley; but corn is re-
ported as fine, and growing rapidly in that
state and generally throughout the corn
belt. Grain reports from Nebraska, Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas,
show that the conditions for the week
were especially favorable for corn, which
made rapid growth.

The waiter looked puzzled. but walked Off
and did not appear again near the table for
several minutes. The soup was getting cold,
and the Pittsburger called another waiter
and sent him after the first with renewed
injunction to bring some crackers Another
minute or two passed, and then both walters
re-entered the room with the stately head
waiter. They were engaged In earnest con-

waiter originally sent hashfully approached
the Americans and laid beside the Pittsburg-

INDICTMENTS FOR ALL.
The Special Cronin sGrand Jury Finishes
It's Work.

CHICAGO, June 29.-The clock in judge
Shepard's court room registered the hour
of $40 this afternoon when the special
grand jury which has been investigating
the Cronin mystery filed into the room
with their report. Every juror answered
to his name as the clerk called the roll and
as the call was completed Judge Shepard
who had been in waiting since 4:3O O'Clock
addressed Foreman Clongh:
"Have you a report to make"
1--WE have" and a document upon which
all eyes fastened with eager interest
was handed to the judge.
"Have you further business, gentle
mem" was the next query.
81 think iye have finished what we have
to do"
"Then you may be excused from any
further service"
With this stereotyped conversation
ended the work of the grand jury.
The report indicted seven men, of whom
three were already in jail under previous
indictments, Coughlin, O'Sullivan and
Woodruff, and fourth, John L. Beggs,
was under arrest on suspicion. The fifth
man was Martin Burke, the suspect in
custody in Winnipeg. The sixth and sew
enth men indicted are still at large, Pat
rick Cooney, "The Fox" and John kunze,
n friend of Detective Coughlin, whose al
legged completely was only brought to the
attention of the authorities within the
past two days Within an hour after the
return of the Indictment a capias had
leen made out for John I. Beggs, the
senior guardian of Camp 20, Clan-na-Gael,
whose place of detention has been down
town police station. He was 1T once trans
ferred to a cell near the other accused in
the murderer's row at the county Jail.
None OF the prisoners or
suspects were represented
In court when the grand jury reported to
Judge Shepard. Few persons at all were
present besides officers, except a number
of newspaper men.
After the last formalities of the long in
QUESTION were ended States Attorney
Longenecker told a number of reporters
that he had not yet dropped the case in its
relation to Alexander Sullivan.
The states attorney claimed that the
grand jury had been unable, owing to the
expiration of its term, to hear all the evil
dence that could be presented against Mr..
Sullivan. The inquiry as 10 Sullivan
would be continued TO the next jury. An
other reason for the states attorney

that before the trial of the men indicted is

qua assembly. The event of the day was
an address by Commissioner Of Pensions
Tanner, who talked on topics and remin-

posed largely of old soldiers. Among 9TH
err things Mr.. Tanner said that he consid-
cred it his duty to see that justice was
done so far as he could accomplish it to
every veteran who had suffered for his

pathetic, drawing tears at times to the
eyes of many a veteran, who listened to
it,

appropriately to the day. In the evening
Marshall's Military band gave a concert
and the old soldiers enjoyed a camp fire at
which Commissioner Tanner was present.

Chicago Annexes a Few More Small Cities
to Her Domain.

CHICAGO, June 29.-The question of
the annexation to Chicago Of the
closely adjoining suburbs of Hyde Park
LakeYiew, Lake, Cicero and jefferson YVES
voted on today. The campaign, which
has been conducted for several weeks, was
a spirited one, and both sides have been
making tremendous struggle. The ants
were generally headed by the present Of
fee holders in the suburban governments,
who made a bitter fight against coming
into the city. While the official vote from
all the points has not been an
nounced there is no room for
doubt from figures received that
all the suburbs named have been carried
by the annexationists. The various towns
give to Chicago an additional population
of nea rly 100000, bringing the total up to
probably 100000 The territory annexed
will give Chicago a total area (approxi-
mated and estimated) of about ia square
miles. making it the largest city in area in
the United States. All of the suburban
towns annexed are built up solidly for
miles, radiating from the old city limits
A person unacquainted with the bounda--
ries of Chicago would not know where

Of the ship herself is not matter which even
the wealthiest Of corporations can provide
for at q moments notice; it is not s100, 900,
nor $500, 900 that the work calls for, but
about five times the latter sum, for 1t is safe
TO say that vessel superior to the City Of
New York or the Etruria could not be built
for less than s., 900. Sometimes the
shipbuilders are willing to become part own
ers Of the projected vessel; sometimes they
take as part payment for the work some Older
vessels Of the line, which they reft, re-engine,
modernize and sell again.
The ability Of the builders to make an ar
rangement Of this hind, Of course, influences
the placing Of the contract, in measure, but
they must also be able to give certain guar
antees. They must enter into an engage
ment that the projected ship shall be able to
carry 50 many passengers and 50 many tons
of cargo and to attain specified speed on
given consumption Of coal per day. Let US
say, for instance, that the stipulations are
these: Accommodations for coo saloon pas
sengers $50 intermediate passengers and
100 Storage passengers; registered tonnage,
6,cOO; speed, 10 knots ON consumption Of
800 tons per day. If the ship fails to fulfill
these conditions the builders agree to forfeit
part of the amount they would otherwise re-

take her back altogether. This was the case
