FOUR.AND-A-HALF PER GENTS.
 offers For Their Extension-No Com
 clusion Reached at the Conference
 to Consider the matter-How the
 Bonds Are Geographically Distrib-
 ated.
 WASHINGTON. June 8.-Several efforts for the extension of 4a per cent. bonds were received at the treasury department this morning. One was for 5000, 900 at the rate of 3 per cent. This came from private citizen. The others were at any rate the department decided on. They were all from western banks.
 Secretary Foster called on the president this morning and informed him of the re- suit of his recent conference with the bankers and brokers of New York and of their proffered willingness to take up the entire At per cent. loan if extended at 9 per cent.
 No conclusion was reached at this con- ference as to the best course to be fol- lowed. The question will be again con- sldered at the cabinet meeting tomorrow. There is great conflict of opinion as to the future action of the treasury depart ment With respect to this loan, but 1t is generally understood that Secretary Eos ter favors it's extension at per cent. He admitted as much this afternoon. He said that such course would raise the credit of the government and enable the national banks to increase their circula- tion, thing greatly needed after the re- cent heavy shipments of gold. He said, also, however, that there were so many strong arguments in favor of an extension at a lower rate of interest that he really did not know, but what it might finally be concluded to fix the rate at 1 per cent.
 A statement, prepared at the treasury department shows that the At per cent bonds held by national banks are geo. graphically distributed as follows: New England states $3,743, $50, middle states $5, ,695, 400, southern states $3,447, 300, western states SIS, ,7S4, 800; total $26, 761,- $50. This shows that the western banks, which are said to favor the per cent rate, hold more than one-half of the entire amount owned by national banks and more than the banks of the New England and middle states combined. The strongest point in favor of the 9 per cent. rate is the agreement of the eastern bankers to pur- chase the entire outstanding loan of $53,- OOO, 900 at that rate, while the western bank | CTS, known to favor the per cent, have so far spoken only with respect to the bonds now held by them

THE FRUIT PROSPECTS.

Discouragtng Outlook from Forty
 Eight Districts - Large Yield of
 Qutnces Assured.
 ROCHESTER, N. Y., June S.-The Demo- crat and Chronicle has authentic reports from forty y-eight fruit growing districts of western New York which give 8 most discouraging outlook for fruit this season. The apple crop is again, for the third suc cessive year, almost complete failure. Of 6.OO0 trees in one Wayne county orchard only 800 blos- somed. Reports from Lockport, Medina, Albion, Batavia, Attica and Mount Morris all tell the same story of short crop. In the Tonawanda valley frosts have de- stroyed the entire crop. Niagara county will not have fifth of an average crop be- cause of frost and an apparent exhaustion of the trees. The crop of Bartlett pears will be insignificant. A fair yield of Duchess dAngosteme pears and @ good crop of white cherries in some localities may be looked for. The only fruit of which 8 large yield is assured is the quince, which has blossomed fully and late. Raspberries are also looking well, and full crop is certain. But, altogether, the prospects is bad and fruit farming in western New York seems to be pretty proftless busi-

Two Towns Practically Destroyed
 Flight and Terror of the Inhabf-
 tants.
 ROME, June 8.-Advices from Badia, Calavena and Tragnanzo, two of the towns in northern Italy that were visited by the earthquakes yesterday, show that the in habitants are terror stricken and that they have taken to the fields for safety. The authorities are seeking to alleviate the distress, and have furnished large num- Der of tents to those without shelter. The subterranean rumblings continue, and oc- casionally slighter shocks than those of yesterday are felt.
 The damage done at these two places is much greater than was indicated in the first reports. The towns were practically destroyed. A commission appointed to ex- anime the houses still standing have made nasty investigation, and report that at least ree-quarters of the houses are in such condition that public safety de- mands that they be pulled down entirely
 Large bodies of troops have been de- spatched to these places to assist the au- thorities in clearing the streets of debris, in tearing down dangerous houses and in rendering such other assistance as they may be called on to give.

The Black Lake Fire.

sHERBRoKE, Que., June s.-The Black Lake fire was extinguished last night. The total of the losses has not yet been estimat- ed, as the agents of the insurance compa- nies have not yet reached the village. Very little insurance had been taken out, how ever, on the property destroyed. It is thought that at least forty houses, includ- ing many stores, have been burned, and these contained two hundred and fifty families, some of the houses being very large, one or two of them each sheltering twenty-four families. These unfortunate people camped out in the fields last night pending other arrangements. Most of them saved their household effects.

 ST. LOUIS, June 8.-Dispatches from several points alang the Red River in Texas indicate that the stream is on the rampage. At Gainesville it is above the high water mark, and information comes from above this place that the rise was very rapid and unexpected. and many ranrlA harely escaped with their lives.

 A dispatch from Belcher says that the Red river, which runs three miles north of there, is the highest known for years. Friday afternoon about o'clock 8 volume of water ten feet high came rushing down the valley bearing trees, brush, house tops, dead animals and debris of all kinds, and in thirty minutes the whole valley was one vast sheet of water. Crops of all kinds near the river are all under water, and great damage will result.

He had never owned a share of the banks stock, although until recently he had held 2,515 shares as collateral. MT.
