CROP CONDITIONS.
California Makes q Good Comparison
with Other States.

California Makes q Good Comparison
with Other States.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-- The weekly
crop bulletin says: The season con-
tinues from one to two weeks late, gen.
orally, throughout the northern states.
Farm work lie generally retarded on ac-
count of cold weather in the spring
wheat regions, and snow and heavy
rains in the winter wheat regions, al
though the general prospects in the
principal grain states are considered
favorable. Excessive rains in the Ohio
valley, Tennessee and Illinois have re-
tarded blowing and planting, but the
growing crops and fruit are reported in
excellent condition. Three counties in
Illinois report that the Hessian fly is
damaging the wheat, but other counties
in the state report fayorably. Indiana
and Kentucky report grain and grass in
fine condition, and in Tennessee much
corn, oats and potatoes have been
planted. Oregon reports the soil very
wet and seeding is progressing slowly.
Winter wheat is excellent. Peaches,
almonds and apricots are in bloom.
CALIFORNIA CROPS.
SACRAMENTO, March 2S.-The follow
ing weekly crop telegram was sent to
Washington, today, by the state agri-
cultural society, acting with Sergeant
Barwick, signal service observer: In
the northern portion of the Sacramento
valley crop prospects were never better,
although the frequent showers have
somewhat retarded blowing and plant
ing. In the San Joaquin valley the crop
outlook is good, but showery weather
would be beneficial. There were light
frosts in the coast counties, but no dam
age was done. In the Sacramento val
ley prospects for large crop were never
better. In the foothills, prospects for q
large yield of fruit are the best in many
years. Grain Is growing well, except
that more rain is needed in the vicinity
of Riverside and San Diego. Peaches,
plums and apricots are in full bloom,
and early vegetables are abundant.
OREGON CONDITIONS.
PORTLAND, Ore, March 2S.-The Ore
gon weather bureau today issued the
following bulletin: The week has been
cloudy, cool and showery. The frost on
the oath did no damage. The ground is
very wet, delaying spring seeding. Win
ter wheat has good stand, and prom
Uses well. Peach, almond and apricot
buds are swelling, or are in bloom.
Fruit prospects were never better. The
backward spring delays fruit and insures
it against possible late frosts. Warm
sunshine is needed. The grass is grow
ing; stock is in good condition.

RAILROAD GOSSIP.
Jay Gould Disregarding the Presidents
Agreement.

Agreement.
CHICAGO, March 2S.-The chief SUBJ
ject of gossip in railroad circles just now
is the alleged manipulation of traffic by
the Gould lines. That the result will
be the dissolution of the presidents
agreement is apparently the firm belief
of many managers. Although the
present good behavior of the majority
of the western roads is said
in some quarters to be due to the opera
ton of the agreement, freight officials
tell different story. They say the rea-
son they are doubly careful in maintain
s ag plssaents and tSat tSnsttraHtaas a fFsM aqe
not Influenced so much by the agree
ment as by the action of the interstate
commerce commission in causing federal
grand juries to investigate viola
tions of the law, for the purpose
of furnishing offenders. 1t has been
learned that the reduction of s cents
in sugar rom seaboard to the Missouri
river points, was assumed wholly by the
Missouri Paeific getting it's full proper
tion to st. Louis. Chairman Midgley
it is now known made an attempt to
open communication with Traffic Man
ager Leeds, of the Missouri Pa
cific, but being unable to get
an answer from that official,
he sent dispatch to General Manager
Clark, and if that gentleman does not
reply by Monday it is understood that
Midgley will communicate with Jay
Gould direct, and ask the discharge Of
the agent who issued the reduced tariff.
The western roads are much excited
over the matter

Large Sale of opium.

SAN Francisco, March 2S.-The larg-
est sale OF opium ever made in this city
was made this morning by the United
States marshal. Two thousand boxes
OF opium were purchased by syndicate
Tor $l7 400. Marshal Long, learning
that syndicate of Chinese had planned
to secure the opium at low figure, an
nounced that he would sell but twenty
boxes from each lot unless the price was
a fair one. BY this means the bidding

out-bidden to the extent of about $4,000.

An Item from the west.

Mr.. E. @. Hinkle, editor of the Beacon,
Winfield, Iowa, has this to say regard
ing what we believe to be the best and
most reliable medicine known for throat
and lung diseases:
"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
done sgreat good in this locality. I
was my elf afflicted with lingering run
OF la grippe, which was most seriously
affecting my lungs, but one 90 cent bot
tie of this remedy broke it up COM
pletely and brought me out all right" :"
Thousands of just such cases occurred
during the epidemic of influenza or la
grippe last winter, and the prompt cures
effected by chamberlain g Cough Remedy
made that medicine immensely popular.
Its merits were severely tested but never
found wanting. It was everywhere adj
mitted to be the best. For sale by G..

for the inspection of cattle, for export
to Europe under the new law, was
issued today to Nelson Morris, of Chi
cago. Morris received dispatch this

tion was also received showing marvel-
.lous results of the inspection system

GUM 265 and France 1874. These figures,

BILE with Her officers.

ish steamer Hounslow arrived from
Honolulu today with 1900 tons of sugar.
This is stated to be the largest cargo of

sition over several appointments. He
stated that the party had petitioned for
the recall of Minister Carter, and de-
sires his removal.
When the Hounslow left the islands,
the Zealandia was scheduled to sail one

EMBARRASSED BANKS.
The American Bank of Kansas City on
Its Feet Again.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The comp
troller of currency received telegram
today from the examiner in charge of
the American national bank of Kaneas
City, Mo-, saying the entire amount OF
capital of the bank, $500, 900, has been
paid in, and the bank will open for busi-
ness Tuesday or Wednesday. The ex-
aminer says the bank has 81, zoo, 900 in
the vault, including $685., 900 which had
been taken from the bank by the ex-
aminer, and which has just been re-
stored by order of the comptroller of
currency.
THE WASHINGTON BANK.
Comptroller Lacy today received the
official report of Examiner Hepburn, in
regard to the Washington National bank
OF New York, but refused to disclose its
contents. He has addressed commu
nieation to Hepburn, sugg.sting that
ship is to be avoided. In the first place
the comptroller can levy an assessment
Of fifty per cent. upon the capital stock,
which would reinforce the assets of
the bank by $l50,0O0 cash. This
could be done, however, in case
the directors and larger stock
holders would agree to advance for
shareholders not prepared for immediate
payment. In case this amount is paid
in, the comptroller would permit the
bank to resume business, and the
amount due depositors and creditors
would be Immediately available. In
case resumption is impracticable, the
comptroller suggests that 1857 900 in ad-
dition to the immediate avail
able assets already in hand,
would enable the bank to pay
the creditors promptly in full, where
upon they could vote to go into volun-
tary liquidation, and close the affairs of
the bank themselves. This might be
raised upon a pledge of the loans and
discounts OF the bank, supplemented, if
necessary, by the personal guarantee of
the larger shareholders. If one of these
plans is not adopted it will be his duty to
appoint receiver, and close up the
bank in the usual way.
