The Weather crop RuiIetin.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE weather crop
bulletin for the week ending Saturday, June
10, 1889, says: The weather for the week was
unfavorahle for small grains in Minnesota
and Dakota owing, TO the small amount OF
rain. In Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas
and Arkansas the crop conditions we're i'm
proved by the weather Of the present week.
Corn is reported as growing rapidly, but in
some sections Of Illinois too much rain il
reported. Wheat harvest is in progress in
central Kansas and will commence in Illinois
next week. A short crop OF timothy and
clover is now being cut in Iowa
In Ohio, Indiana and Michigan all cropa.
have improved, but excessive rains inter-
rupted cultivation and harvest work Crons.
were generally retarded in Kentucky and
Tennessee, owing TO heavy daily rams and
little sunshine. In some sections OF these.
states wheat has been damaged by insects
and injured by excessive rains, although
corn, cotton and tobacco are reported as
growing we'll, but dry weather Is needed for
cultivation.
Reports from North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Alabama and Louisiana indicate that
the weather was favorable for all crops.
which show decided improvements since the
recent rains In Mississippi and Texas the
rainfall was excessive and crops have been
more OF less injured in some sections, espe-
cially in Texas, whore the weather has been
too cool for cotton.
The excessive rains which have occurred
over the greater portion Of the middle states
and New England have been attended by
weather conditions which have generally inn
proved all crops, although farm work and
cultivation we're interrupted. In New Eng
land sl crops including corn, improved and
are growing rapidly. In Connecticut the
weather has been specially favorable for the
tobacco crop, which is reported in fine con-
dition.

WINNIPEG, MANI, November 1.-Assistant
States Attorney Baker, of Chicago, had an
interview with ex-convict Heffer, and, with
Heffer's counsel, was closeted for long
time with the man who claims that Burke
made to hlm full confession of the Cronin
conspiracy. Heller reiterated his story,
and, it is said, told Baker sufficient to con-
vince him of its truth.
Heffer intimated to Baker that he had no
intention of appearing as witness against
urke unless he was we'll paid for his ser
vices. There is little DOUBT that Hefer,
knowing the Importance of his testimony,
and beng aware that be cannot be COM
PEELED to 60, is after big money.

Burke also, while fellow prisoner here,

is doubtful if it can be reinstated in favor
and business by any amount of newspaper
talent. John R. Walsh, one of the princi-
pal owners of the Herald, is a man of great
wealth and business sagaclty, and has long
been anxious to bring about the consolida-
ton of the two papers. In fact, he has been
looking forward to this end ever since the
death of Wilbur F. Story. If the consoi-
dation is effected the next thing will be a
rise in the selling price of all the morning
papers of Chicago. The retail figure will
be either &c or &c, instead of &c, which Ii
now the price of all morning dailies, except

KANSAS CITY. No., November 1.-Secre-
tary Mobiles instructions to Commissioner
Fairchild concerning the negotiations to be
carried on with the Cherokee Indians for
the sale of the Cherokee strip and the pub
lshed interview with Chief Mayes, in which
the statement was made that the Indians
would likely accept the governments oaer
are causing the leesees of the land much
uneasiness.
Colonel Snyder, a member of the Chero-
kee Live Stock association, says that the
association will obey the governments Or
ders to move. If the government succeeds
in buying the lands the company would be-
forced to dissolve. He thinks. however, that
the Indians will not care to sell at S1.25 FER
acre to the government when there are at
least three cattle companies who are ready
to Lay nearly three times as much. It is
his opinion that Chief Mayes was misquoted
when he was reported as saying that he
would recommend tie acceptance of the
governments offer.
Ano' her member of the company said the
loss to the cattle men would be enormous.
The cattle market was already glutted, and
when the great number of cattle in the strip
were forced to sale, prices would decline to
such an extent as to paralyze the cattle in
dustry throughout the whole country.
