WINTER WHEATLooKs WE'LL
Frost Nipped the Tops, but the
Roots Are Intact

Roots Are Intact.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1O.-The
condition Of winter wheat on the 1st of
April, as reported by the statistician of
the department of agriculture, averages
81 for the entire breadth. The general
average for rye is 92.S. In the states of
the central valleys recent frosts have
cut down the growing wheat plants
quite generally, and IN wet or SUBJ
merged areas the roots have been de-
stroyed. There are reports of recuper-
alton by Sprouting and renewed growth
in this region. Where the roots are in
tact great improvement will follow with
good weather. The fact that the roots
are so well developed is favorable
to improvement. The Pacific coast
has had an extraordinary amount of
rain and snow which have delayed
seeding and injured the early-sown
areas. The averages of condition of
principal states are as follows: New
York. So; Pennsylvania, 80; Ohio, 81;
Michigan, 81; Indiana, IS; Illinois, rs;
| Missouri, SO; Kansas. ST; California,
II. The report of condition of farm an
imals makes the average as follows:
| Horses. ga; cattle, "a IL; sheep, 93.7
| swine. 95.6. The percentage of losses
Of farm animals, by disease, winter ex-
| posture or otherwise, as estimated, aver
| age 1.64 for horses, 3.6i for cattle, 7.3
for sheep, and7.6 for swine. The re-
| ports indicate the loss by exposure,
| throughout the country, of more than
million cattle, and still larger losses of
| sheep.

UNCLE SANS NEW NAVY.
The House Reports the Naval APP
preparation Bill Favorably.

The House Reports the Naval APP
preparation Bill Favorably.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-In his pray
er to-day the house chaplain referred
feelingly to the illness of Represent
alive Randall, The house went into
committee Of the whole on the naval APP
preparation bill. Mr.. Herbert offered
an amendment providing for the con-
struction of two instead of three coast
line battle ships. His amendment,
he said, was based on the ground that
the United States was proceeding too
rapidly in the construction of battle
ships. The amendment was lost, 81 to
81. Mr.. Peter, of Kansas, moved to
strike out the entire clause for theii
crease of the navy. He believed the
United States had no need of battle ships,
and possessed all the cruisers that it
required. Mr.. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania,
offered an amendment permit
ting the secretary Of the navy
to have one of the new vessels
built at the League Island navy
yard. Ruled out OH point of order.
Mr.. McAdoo, of New Jersey, denied
that the naval question was as between
cruisers and battle ships. He said it
was between high and low free board
vessels, and he favored the low free
board type. Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois,
said he feared that those ships proposed
to be built would become obsolete be-
fore completion. Mr.. Lodge. of Massa-
chusetts, referring to the Samoan con-
troversy, suggested that if it had 0c-
Cured when Germany was under it's
present guidance passion and not rea-
son would have ruled, and we
might have found ourselves plunged
iii naval warfare. Mr.. Spinola said that
he favored Notifications rather than
bGttle-ships. Mr.. Mandever thought
the need of the United States was for
an aggressive navy. and that it needed
feet cruisers rather than battle-ships.
MIR. Sweeney, of Iowa, advocated the
development of the torpedo system. On
motion of Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, the
paragraph providing for the three battle
ships was struck out. (98 to TOY; the pro-
vision for an armOred cruiser being
left in the bill. An amendment offered
by MIR. Adams. of Illinois, providing for
three low, free-board defense vessels
was lost. Mr.. Peters, of Kansas, with
drew his motion to strike out the entire
clause. Several amendments were
offered and ruled out, and finally the
bill was ordered reported favorably to
the house. The house, without action,
at 4:45 p, M, adjourned.

sPELLBINDEes DEFIANT. y
Republicans Will Test the Civil
Service Laws.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-In the case
of the Old Dominion Republican league,
against the officers OF which an action
has been instituted in the courts of this
district for violations of the United
States civil service law, it has been de-
terminad to waive all farther proceed
ings and to admit a statement of fact
on the part of the defendant, G. A.
Newton, president of the league, in
order that the same may be passed
upon in higher court and final de-
cision had in tile supreme court OF the
United States. Newton, who is not a
government officer, and who is charged
with violation of the civil service law
by soliciting contributions of govern
ment employees for campaign purposes,
will test the right under the civil serv--
ice law to solicit such contributions by
one not in the employment of the gov
eminent, and also test the question
whether the sending of letter by such
a one to government employee and de-
llvered on his desk, is solicitation for
hidden by the twelfth section of the
civil service law; and if it is sollcita-
ton, whether that law is consistent
with the constitution of the United
States.
