Desired.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The weather
crop bulletin issued for the week end
ing to-day says: "The weather dur
ing the past week has been espe-
cially favorable for farm work through
out the Northwest, where the sowing
of small grain is substantially complet-
ed as far north as southern Minnesota
and southern Dakota. Crops were i'm
proved by the favorable weather in
Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa;
wheat. oats and grass are reported i'll
good condition. but more rain is needed
from the Missouri valley northward
over Minnesota. In Michigan, Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky and Tennes-
see growing crops were greatly
improved, although in sections
of Indiana and Tennessee excessive
rains interrupted farm work. Reports
from Tennessee that much corn and
some cotton have been planted. In the
Gulf states crops were generally i'm
proved. Reports from Texas state that
crop conditions are generally good. In
Arkansas heavy rains have retarded
work; crops late: corn planting unfn-
iShed. In Louisiana no farm work done
in st. Johns parish, owing to back
water. In Mississippi all conditions
were favorable for present stage of
crops and for farm work on uplands.
In Alabama warm. dry weather has en-
abled farmers to make good progress in
planting. In the South Atlantic states
the recent rains have proved very fa-
vorable for crops, although the planting
of cotton was retarded by rains during
the week. In the Middle Atlantic
states the weather during the week was
the most favorable of the season for
plowing and seeding, and great progress
was made in planting early vegetables.
Reports from New England indicate
that but little farm work has. as yet,
been accomplished in the northern sec
tions of this region, while planting and
sowing are progressing favOrably in the
southern partitions. Reports from Ore
gon Indicate that the season is late, al
though favorable for fall wheat. FreeZ-
ing weather occurred in this section
during the week.

Chicago Carpenters Are Playing
for a Sure Thing.
CHICAGO, April 19.-The carpenters
strike was not settled tonight. Many
people had hoped that the struggle was
to be ended, but the representatives of
the strikers are evidently disposed to
carefully feel their way before
binding themselves to an agreement
which does not include the large con-
tractors who constitute the Master Car
penters' association. In the absence of
any sign of change in the Fabian policy
of that organization, meeting was ar
tween the newly formed body of minor
penters' association" and commit
tee of the journeymen carpenters
council. Much had been expected
of the meeting, but on cOnvening Presi-
dent O'Connell, of the council. stated
that the "BoSses" list of members had
been carefully examined by the council.
and it was a doubtful matter as to the
number of men the new organization
might employ. Even assuming that
they could give work to 3,UUU men, 1T
would be, necessary the council felt,
to increase the membership so as
to put at least four thousand
men to work before a settlemen
could be reached. The .sbOsses." after
some discussion, resolved to proceed
with an attempt to increase their MEM
bership, and invited the council to
another conference Monday. Following
adjournment, President O'COnnell said
that if the bosses could empty 1000
men, the council had places ready for
at least 1000 men on contracts outside
of the organization. With 5000 journey
men employed the council could let the
masters association slide.

PROLONGED FLOODS.
The Mississippi Ii as Been at Dan.
perPOint Eighty DavS.

The Mississippi H as Been at Dan.
ger Point Eighty Days.
VICKsBURG, Miss, April 19.-The
duration of the flood this year has been
something quite extraordinary. 1t is
difficult to realize that for seventy-nine
days, or since Jan. 80, the river at
Vicksburg has been above the danger
line, but the signal service records es-
tablish that fact. The river began to
rise in January, and on January 2S had
attained the height of 40 feet Ia inches.
1t reached the level of 1905 on March
1G, after all almost continuous rise
of seventy days duration, in
the course of which it several
times came to stand but never lost a
point gained. The Raleigh and other
crevasses ensued and gradually re-
duced the level to 46 feet, 311b inches on
April |; since that date rise of feet,
So inches has brought the river to the
highest level of the season. Consider
ing The soaking that the levees have had
the fact that they have yielded
in places, ceases to be remarkable. Sec
retary J. B. Snyder, of the Fifth Louis
lana levae board, received advices to-
day from all the ievees and reports are
that all are still maintained. The river
was nearly or quite stationary at Vicks-
burg from s a. m. to p. m. yesterday
will most likely be falling in few days.

ALDERMANlC DEPRAvITy.
GOtham's Board Must Be Seen
Before Granting Charters.

NEW YORK, April 19. The Fassett
senate committee ON cities resumed it's
investigation into the affairs of the
city to-day. Several witnesses testified
as to the uselessness of trying to obtain
frachises from the board of aldermen.
The most important testimony was
given by MIR. COlville and Gen. Stone.
The former testified that when he, act
ing with other gentlemen, sought a
franchise for the Harlem u Woodstock
Railroad company in 1887, he was told
the board must have money before a
charter would be granted. Gen. Stone
told OF his efforts to get charter
in 1899 from the board of aldermen for
the East river tunnel, which applica-
ton is still before the present board.
He said one of the members told him
that he would have to ''see'' him (the
member), and that he controlled six
teen votes. Witness said he presumed
the word ''see" was used in a 'parlia-
mentary sense.'' The name of
the alderman was requested, and Gen.
Stone created considerable OF a sen
satlon by naming Daniel E. Bowling,
vice president of the board. On cross
examination, however, Gen. Stone read
lily admitted that none of the aldermen
had asked tor money, not even Mr..
bowling. The latter had only said that
he (Stone) must ''see" him, and then ad-
vanced certain reasons in order to take
the case from the railroad committee.

POPE LEO ON LABOR.
He Will Adopt Measures to Teach
and Inspire TOilerS.

anu fuSplfc tObIcfS.
LONDON, April 20.-The London Her
aid this morning prints the report of an
interview with the pope. In dis
cussing the labor question. his
holiness dwells upon the necessity
for improving the moral condition of
both workmen and employers. He said
that he intended to form a committee in
every diocese in the world, whose duty
it would be to call the toilerS together
on every fast day and rest day and dis
cusss their duties and teach them, and
inspire them with true morality.
Sound rules OF life, said the
pope, must be founded upon religion.
The committees which he proposed to
form are to consist of workmen, or of
those sympathizing with workmen. and
bishop is to be at the head of each
committee. Referring to the subject of
a European disarmament, he said
that military life surrounds
thousands of young men With vIo-
lent and immoral influences, and
crushes and degrades them. Armies
drain countries of their wealth: they
withdraw labor from the soil, overtaX
the pool. impoverish the populace. set
the people against each other, and in
tensify national jealousieS. They are
antl-Christian. The doctrine of arbi-
tration as accepted by America is the
true principle, but most of the men
controlling Europe do not desire the
truth. -
