WEEKLY WEATHER CROP BULLETIN

OF the Kansas Weather Service Issued
In Cooperation with the Kansas State
BOARD Of Agriculture, for tho Week
Ending May 2S, 1892.
PRECIPITATION.
The rainfall has been deficient In all
parts of the state except in portions Of
Klows, Pratt and Stafford, and In La.
bette, Neosho. Allen, Woodson, Cofeyi
Usage, Anderson, Linn and Bourbon.
The mai n portion OF ihA rainfall has
occurred south Of the Smoky HUI and
Kaw riv4ra, and east Hf Meade and Ford
A light 81 'wfal &C ;urred on the 2lst In
Edwards, Norton and, other western
counties.
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.
The week opened with low tempera-
ture, but became much warmer and
more nearly normal by the middle, fol-
lowed by cooler weather at Its close. In
the far western counties, and in the
northern counties west Of Washington
the temperature has ranged nearer nor
NAL than In the other counties. This
has been q week Of much sunshine, be-
ing about normal.
RESULTS.
The favorable conditions this week
have been very advantageous to farming
operations and to all vegetation, the only
drawback being the very unseasonably
cool weather the first day or 30.
Wheat is making rapid progress, and
is heading out in the third tier Of coun-
ties north of the Territory; it will be
ready for harvest in Cowley and Sumner
within two or three weeks, while in Bar
ber the farmers are now engaging hands
for stacking, offering good wages for ex-
perts, and expecting to begin harvest in
about ten days.
The color of the corn has improved
much with the warm days.
The sudden cessation of wet weather
followed by the high winds and then the
rising temperature, has put crust on
the ground, which, however, is being
rapidly diSintegrated by the Cultivator,
which Is at work in every corn field In
the state. The warm weather and cul-
tivstor are making visible growth in
corn.
Oats are backward, but very few re-
ports making remarks in their favor.
Rye and barley are advancing rapidly,
while In the southeastern counties fax
is also making good headway.
In Barber and Harper, home grown
strawberries are In the market at moder-
ate prices. In the southern counties. gar
den vegetables are In the market and be-
ing shipped.
The cold snap the first Of the week has
injured fruits by causing them to drop
badly, and blighted the leaves Of the
fruit trees. In the southeast 1t damaged
berries and garden fruits and vegetables.

rest assured the committee on commerce
would report to the Senate no bill changing
or affecting existing laws unless that COM
mittee was fully satisfied by the evidence
before it such changes and amendments
ought to be made.
conference WAS ordered on the census
deficiency bill and Hale, Allison, and
Cockrsll were appointed conferees on the
part of the Senate.

ternational bi-metallic agreement having
been reached on the calendar, 1t was laid
over without action.
Consideration Of the Idaho election case
was resumed. and Vance, of the minority
committee, continued his argument begun
yesterday in support of the claim of Clag-
gett. Much of his argument was devoted
TO refutaton of Turpies claim that the
organization of the Idaho legislature was
complete when its members met, and
holding as Dubois election took place the
day before the formal organization that his
election was null.
at the close OF Vance's speech the con-
| ference report on the census deficiency bill
was presented and agreed to, and the bill
reported aud placed on the calendar appro
prating $1,000 for q public building at
Boise City, Idaho.
Clsggett, the Idaho contestant, then sd-
dressed the Senate at length. He discussed
the details of the question and criticised the
majority report. He was frequently inter
rupted by questions, and 50 much Of his
time was occupied listening to and replying
to them that the limit of time was with
drawn. He created general laughter when
he wound up description of Dubois cleo
ton tactics by saving that, to use west
ern phrase, the sitting man was bound to
''Get there, Eli" After he had spoken
about two hours, but without finishing his
speech, ClaRgett yielded the floor and the
Idaho case went over without action.
A bill eppropriating S60,0y0 for public
building at Grand Island, Neb., was re
ported and placed on the calendar.
Adjourned till Monday.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 90 Secretary Noble
was examined to-day by the special com
mittee appointed to investigate the man
agement of the pension Office. The secre-
tary narrated his facts now well known in
regard to the removal of young Ruum.
Young Raum is a son of the commissioner
and he gave him time to find something
else to do before his resignation should
take effect. The secretary said he asked
for Raum's resignation upon receiving the
report Of the civil service commission upon
the case The secretary was asked ii an
opportunity had been given young Raum
TO defend himself from the charges nIade.
The secretary replied, mo, thought the
good of the service demanded ne should &c

ing charges against young Raum by How

charging Raum with demanding money

missioner declared the charges were cir
cuiated 10 injure him and filed counter
charges with a demand for the removal of
those men and Special Examiner Taylor
who was suspected by the commissioner of
being connected with the matter. The
secretary said he thought the charges
about balanced each other. Young Raum
was out Of the service and he refused to re
move Howard and Engle. Taylor he asked
to resign because he (Noble) he'd previous

the governments interests. Noble said al
| the removals were for cause.
The secretary was next asked about the
re-ratings, which occasioned so much com
ment. He said the responsibility originally
rested on Commissioner Black, and wheI
he found Commissioner Tanner proceed

government, he promptly stopped it. The

Goschen Has No Arrangement With Foster.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
LONDON, Feb. 26.-If Secretary Foster is
really coming to consult about a silver con-
ference it is certainly not by prearrange-
ment with Mr.. Gcschen or any treasury Of
icals here. When your correspondent
asked Mr.. Goschen for the details, he sent
word by his secretary: Il have not heard
of the proposed conference. L have moth
ing to say about it."
Sir John Gorst, who is Mr.. Goschen's
sub-oficial, and in the thorough confidence
of the treasury department, said he had
heard nothing as to the proposed BIZ none
tary conference, and did not believe that
any such move was intended. The result
of numerous inquiries made by your CORE
spondent indicates that while Secretary
Foster will probably consult with Balfour,
Goschen and Gorst during his visit here, il
will not be about any preconceiyed plan OF
an international conference.

New YORK, Feb. 26.-Dr Charles H.

did the announcement that Jay Gould. who
never posed as philanthropist, had mad,

talked on the subject. Said he: "Mr.

Although I have not been so informed, l
have no doubt DR.. Paxton reached Mr..
