KANSAS CROP PROSPECTS.
The Latest Information IN Regard {
Wheat. Oats. Corn and Fruit.

The Latest Information IN Regard to
Wheat. Oats, Corn and Fruit.
TOPEKA, Kan, June 2.--The Kansas
Farmer publishes to-day crop reports
from its correspondents throughout the
state. They indicate a wheat acreage
about equal to that Of last year.
The condition Of the wheat crop
has improved generally since
the last report. Very few
counties report insects of any
kind. In some counties the wheat
on bottom lands has suffered from wash
ing out by floods, but in general the
damage to this crop by the excessive
rains has been less than was to be ex-
pected. The harvest will be later than
usual, but unless some injury not yet
developed comes upon the wheat, the
prospect Is that n fairly good crop will
be harvested. Harvest will begin in
the southern counties about June 20.
The acreage of oats is rather lighter
than heretofore on account Of lateness
OF the season and excessive rains. This
crop Is later than usual, but otherwise
In good condition.
Corn is very backward on account of
cool wet weather. The acreage will be
larger than usual, even IL planting has
TO be extended we'll into June. The
growth Of the planted has been slow.
Ample time remains, however, to make
a corn crop with n favorable season
from this time forward. The fruit crops
are below the average.

roads, OF the Richmond Terminal sys-
tenn, made sensational speech to.night
before the Senate committee on rail-
roads, regarding tho proposed railroad
mmission bill now before the general
assembly. The bill proposes to give
the commission power to fix all freight
and passenger rates, to regulate Joint
rates, supervise all contracts and agree.
ments, to direct and control tho build.
ing OF all depots and warehouses and to
arrange schedules.
The railroads are denied the right of
appeal from decisions of the com mission.
McBee described it as n scheme of con-
hscation under the forms of law Ho
SAID 1t viola led the States contract to
give corporations chance to live. ex-
pressed in tho charters granted them,
ard that it went beyond the ideas of
communism, which is to seize private
property, to be divided among the peo-
ple-of anarchy. which means want or
destruction of values without spurpose
or benefit to anybody.
lie described the present unfavora BILE
condition OF Southern roads, declared it
was caused in great measure by un-
friendly legislation and oppression by
the railroad commissioners, and earn
estlv urged that the properties be given
a living chance. He declared tho pur.
pose OF the roads to submit to the laws
as long as they could do SO, but int.
mated that il forced to fight for their
lives they would do so, and would ex-
haust all the powers OF the courts to
secure protection and chance to exist.
If the bill passed it would cause con.
sternation in financial matters, followed
by endless litigation for the State and
people. This wholesale railroad com
mission business was started as ma tier
of political provender, but it has grown
into machine for property oppression
and now you arc asked to make it an
instrument of confiscation.
McRee declared that the operation of
such law might destroy tho railroads
as completely by our own people as if
General Sherman was again at work.
