Lato in All Sections on Account Of tho
Continued Drought.
WAsHINGToN, July 1.-The July report Of
the department Of agriculture makes the
acreage, compared with the breadth har-
vested last year, OF corn 108.3 potatoes
1923, tobacco 1926. Condition: Corn 94.3,
winter wheat 96.2, spring wheat 04.1, rye
33.9, oats S7.6. barley 800, potatoes 95.3,
tobacco GIL. The increase of corn acreage
Ia more apparent than real, an shown by
comparison with the breadth har-
vested last year when loss was heavy on ac-
count of the drought The present return
600 acrss, or somewhat smaller than the
area actually planted last year. The crop
is late in all sections on account of the
drought and unfavorablo conditions at
time Of planting and the cool weather dur
ing May, but June warm with abundant
moisture and the crop coming forward
rapidly July !. In Ohio and the upper
Mississippi valley the progress during
the month WAS especially gratifying
but in Kansas and Nebraska considerable
damage resulted from the excessive rain
fall. In many districts June rains pre-
vented proper working and leaving tho fields
foul, but few days OF sunshine would
remedy this. The general average is a frac-
tion below that of 1883 and 1890 and slight
ly above that Of 1889 Averages Of surplus

The condition Of winter wheat returned prac-
tically the same as in June. Tho crop il
harvested except in its more northern
habits with condition the highest reported
since 1879 with one exception. Averages o.
the principal states Pennsylvania 80,

wheat improved during June, an advance
being made in Minnesota and the Dakotas
where the month WAS exceptionally favora-
BILE. Chinch bugs have appeared in por-
tions of the northwest, but with no ap-
preciable damage yet. State averages
are: Wisconsin n, Minnesota 93, Iowa 96,
Nebraska 96. North Dakota SO, South Da-
kota 81, Washington 9S. Oats improved
during the month but the general average
is the lowest reported since 1879, except
in 1887, the last year when July condition
Sl.6, was followed by practical failure of
the crop. The poor condition generally ia the
result of the drought early in the season.
the present improvement having followed
the seasonable rain and high temperature
in June. The first returns of potatoes show
the condition to be higher than the average
of recent years, while that of tobacco is
higher than In any year since 1886. Fruit
prospects are very f1attering in New Eng
land and north Atlantic states and west OF
the Missouri river to the Pacific coast. The
crop in Ohio and Michigan has been ma
terially damaged by frosts. A May special
cable from European agent indicates a
heavy deficiency in the European rye crop

The Elusive Morgan Captured.

ELLIsToN, July II. - Especial - The
criminal Morgan, convicted and sentenced
to ono year in the penitentiary on IA charge
of burglary, and who escaped yesterday
from Sheriff Jefferis, who had him in charge
on the way to Deer Lodge, by jumping
from train No. near Cameron's spur, east
of here was recaptured this evening about
$3.50 by Deputy Sheriff Robinson after a
long and tedious chase. Morgan, who was
handcuffed, had succeeded in getting rid of
the bracelets, apparently by filing, as he
had file in his possession when captured.
He has lame arm as the result of his leap,
but otherwise seems all right.

Over England's Adhesion to

They Talk Of Concerted Operation Against

[Coyright, 1891, New York Associated Press.]
BERLIN, July 1.-The papers of this city
overflow with accounts of the popular
triumph of Emperor William in London.
Semi official papers adopt guarded tone
and avoid all reference to alliance with
England as an accomplished fact. These
papers simply re-echo the empsror's speech
at Guild hall. Tho North German Gazette
remarks that the emperor's utterances CO.
incide completely with the views of the in
dustrious and energetic people of Great
Britain who favor the maintenance of
pence. INDEPENDENT papers criticise the en-
peror's reception as emphasizing the
friendly sentiments Of England toward
Germany and toward the emperor, as a
relative of the royal family. without being
a popular endorsement of Lord Salisbury's
policy. The Freisinnige Zeitung
holds that the general charac-
ter Of the celebrations in honor
of the emperor, and especially those
of the court and government, accordingly
must be taken as an open declaration of
England's adhesion to the dreibund, Arti-
cles in Russian and French press, illus
trating the intensity of irritation felt in
hubblb duu IlduCo GOWa1Q England. are
largely quoted.
startling report which caused consider
able talk in diplomatic circles has recently
been circulated here. 1t is to the effect that
M. Ribot, French minister of foreign af-
fairs. approached the Russian government
on the subject of coalition against Eng
land, offering to cooperate with Russia in
the seizure of Constantinople and the for
nation of new Turkish state in Asia, en-
bracing Egypt under Franco Russia pro-
lection. Apart from the question of the
probability of it's truth. the report has
value as indicating Lord Salisbury's
dreibund policy. Nobody believes the
French and Russian governments will ac-
cept Lo.d Salisbury's verbal assurances of
| frlendllness in the face of England's prac-
tical adhesion to their enemies. The game
of diplomacy against En9land's retentio n
| of Egypt has already been reopened. Ac-
cordinR to the Cologne Gazette the sultan
acting under tho prom ptings of French and
Russian ministers, recently held council
at which it was proposed that the porte
should call a conference of European pow
| ers to consider the qlestion.of eyacuating
Egypt. A telegram received here from
Constantinople with reference to diplomatic
movements hostile to England state that
the porte has invited the French govern
ment to assume the initiative in move
ment against English occupation of Egypt.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE Times this
morning publishes an editorial address to
John g. Nicolay under the caption,
"Spanked and Dismissed" 1t is, in part:
"Had you known anything about the in
side Of political movements in the White
house in 1864 you would have known my
letter to Lincoln, quoted in your Defense
was written because of a suddenly developed
effort in this state to divide the lines drawn
by the then bitter Cameron and Curtin
faotional war for and against Lincoln.
Cameron's followers claimed to be the
special supporters of Lincoln and attempted
to drive Curtin and the state administration
into hostility to the president. My Justly
assumed devotion to Curtin was a pretext
for declaring me as either restrained in
my support of Lincoln or likely to be in
opposition. The moment I saw the state
mont in print wrote the letter you quote
to dismiss from Lincoln's mind all appre-
hension about eithor open or passive oppo-
sition from Curtin's friends. Equally, in
deed more fagrantly, false is your state
mont of the only minor truth about the &C
tion Of the Pennsylvania delegation at
Baltimore in 1864. You say Cameron cast
the solid vote of the state for Hamlin. Had
you desired to be truthful you
would have added that Cameron
cast the solid vote of the delegation
for johnson before the close of the ballot.
Had you sought the truth, as an honest
biographer, you could have obtained it
without offensive disputation, not only
from me-. as far as know it, but from such
living witnesses as Chas. A. Dana and
J>I- -A

proposed that the vexed que stion of the
site for the new bridge be decided by a

Uncomplimentary Emperor.
LONDON, July 1.-THE emperor of Ger
many remained at the state ball until 8
O'Clock this morning. At 8 o'clock he arose
and breakfasted. Shortly before noon
the emperor inspected the Yeomen of the
Guard. Then, in company with the en-
press, and attended by brilliant suite, the
emperor drove to the residence of the Ger
man Ambassador, where the imperial party
were entertained at lunch. In the after
noon the emperor and empress left London
Tor Wimbledon to be present at review of
troops. Most of the troops were in heavy
marching order. Many volunteer regi-
ments preferred to march to Wimbledon
instead of taking the trains, as they wanted
to show the emperor that they were not
such rear rankers" as some supposed.
There were 600O to 1000 regulars in line
and about 1900 volunteers, all under
command of the Duke of Cambridge,
commander-in- chief of the British army.
AT O'Clock the emperor and party arriv ID
and the artillery thundered out salvo
while the German imperial standard was
run up on flag staff at the reviewing
stand, instead of the British standard. The
emperor was accompanied by tho prince of
Wales and staff in brilliant uniform and
followed by an escort of Life Guards. As
the emperor and party drew rein and sa-
luted they were received by the duke of
Cambridge and staff while a royal salute
was fired by the artillery. The mperor was
dressed in the uniform of field marshal
The emperor seemed favorably impressed.
After inspection the troops passed the re-
viewing stand, the march lasting an honr
and a half. The commanding officers of
the several corps were personally compli-
mented by the emperor on the appearance
of their troops. After all the troops had
marched past, they again reformed, pro-
sented arms, another royal salute was fred,
and the review ended. The emperor then
started for Crystal palace, whore he wit
messed a parade of the volunteer fire de-
partment. followed in the evening by Il
