WEATHER.CROP BULLETIN.
FOR THE WEEK ENDING JULY rs, '92.

The rainfall for the past seven DAYS
has been very unevenly distributed.
Nearly an average fall has occurred at
Shreveport and New Orleans, but in
terror points differ materially in their
reports. The rains have appar emily
been heaviest in some portions of the
sugar region, yet other portions of this
same district have had but light sprln-
kles.
+. The temperature and sunshine have
been about normal throughout the
state.
CROPS.
The reports regarding cotton differ
With respect to its condition ; in the
uplands it is at its best, especially
where the dry weather has permitted
cultivation. In nearly ali sections the
cotton fields are full of grass, but it is
only in low land, and where the rains
have been continuous, that the plant
is reported sappy and of too rank
growth. Favorable weather to permit
blowing is very desirable.
The great bulk of the cane crop has
at last been laid by blowing has
been pursued continuously during the
week, despite the wet weather that
prevailed in many sections, the farm
ers throwing up the mud to the roots :;
the results in such cases have proven
favorables as the prevailing showers
softemed the soil, whereas a succession
of dry, sunshiny weather would GER
.tainly have baked the earth and turn
ed it into hard clods. Plant cane is
growing rapidly. especially that which
has been lately worked and has re-
ceived sufficient moisture to prevent
tie breaking of roots in blowing.
Stubble that will be plowed this week
should receive rain afterwards to in
sur rapid progress.
The corn crop is reported good. al
though the prolonged rains have dim
inished the anticipated larg. yield to
some extent.
The rice crop continues promising,
giving every indication of a large
yield. The expenses of raising a rice
crop lave been materially lessened so
far this year by the superabundance of
rain, nature having rendered super1u-
Jus the use Of labor and machinery in
flooding the fields.

A NEW SHIP CANAL SCHEME.

Mr.. Erastus Wiman has written a
letter favoring the bill recently in
troduced into the Senate by Senator
Quay, for an appropriation of 1925, 900
for a survey to ascertain the posi-
bility of a ship canal between New
York and Philadelphia. The cost OF
such canal is placed at from $1,000
600 to S15, 900, 900 by engineers, land Mr.
Wiman thinks it would prove good
investment at S25, 100000. Mr.. WI
man does not give his reasons why
he thinks such move would prove
profitable. The two cities are now
closely connected by rail and water,
and what advantage would be gained
from a ship canal is hard to see. If
the So, 100000 is to be raised and
spent upon ship canal, it would
seem that many more advantages
would be derived to the country by
investing it upon canal to connect
the great lakes with the Seaboard,
than to connect two seaboard cities
that are already well provided for.
1t is said that the tonnage which
passes through the Detroit river is
one-third of the whole steam tonnage
of the United States, and exceeds by
more than 100000 the combined for
eign and coastwise shipping of Liver
pool and London, and by over 10000
600 the entrances and clearances of all
the seapOrts of the United States. A
traffic which has reached such proper
tions is deserving of some attention.
The building of ship canal that
would further this traffic would be a
matter of national Importance, while
the investment of $4,000, 900 to $685.
100000 in canal near the seaboard
would never rise above matter of
local importance. The vast empire
that lies to the west would not be
benefited thereby to any appreciate
extent.

THE SECOND DAY.
Detailed Proceedings of the Republican
National Convention.

Detailed Proceedings of the Republican
National Convention.
MINNEAPOLIS, June "a determine
ton to get all the liveliness and fun pos
sible out of the Republican national con-
vention during the day if graver matters
proved impossible, seemed to be the de-
termination of everybody when the big
gathering pulled itself together. The
most striking individual in the hall just
before the call to order was an ascetic
looking, sallow complexioned, but
withal keen eyed and genial appearing
man with rather. long iron. gray hair,
surmouuted by purple skull cap. He
was seated near the chairman's desk, and
in his vicinity, but there alone, was
there any appearance of reverence or
lack of fiippancy in all the great crowd.
1t was Bishop Whipple, of the Episcopal
diocese of Minnesota, and he was there
to open the proceedings with prayer.
The first cheering was when Mckinley
entered, and the ovation lacked none of
its first heartiness. The snowy haired,
sombre featured Fred Douglass was the
next to evoke cheering. Ingalls,, of Kan
sas, got quick volley of loud recogni-
ton when he put in an appearance.
Important action in prospect during
the day began to be suspected, when II
o'clock passed and few of the best known
leaders could be seen in the crowds.
Platt, Quay, Clarkson, Depew, and
many others of the most prominent faces
were missing, although the hour of as
sembling had purposely been made late.
1t was 11:46 when Chairman Fassett
called the convention to order. Bishop
Whipple, of Minnesota, gave invocation,
praying for candidate after the divine
heart and worker for righteousness.
Mr.. Walker presented to the conven-
ton a gavel made from timber grown on
the first Nebraska homestead.
The committee On permanent organi-
cation reported as permanent chairman
Governor William Mckinley, of Ohio,
and as secretary Charles w. johnson, of
Minnesota.

Mckinley Enthusiastic
cally Received.

MINNEAPoLIS, June 9.-The Republi-
can national convention was permanent
ly organized at the single short session
of the day, and the rules which will
govern it during what promises several
more days were adopted. All this was
accomplished without the slightest indi-
cation Of bad feeling between the two
factions of the party, and with no ebu-
ition of the blood very deeply red, and
sometimes blue, which has occasionally
come to the surface, but so far always
outside the convention hall. Everything
inside was as peaceful as an ideal Sab
bath morning in May. The convention
was late in assembling, as was expected.
Never was there convention yet which
again nobody was disappointed in this
Even the gallery spectators came late,
and it was nearer IL than II be-
fore the seats were more than
half occupied. Then there came sud
den rush, and in a few minutes only
scattering vacant chairs were left in the
vast building. 1t was much. larger
audience which watched the work of
the convention than that of the previous
day. 1t took more interest in the pro-
ceedings 1t was not, however, as en-
thusiastic crowd, and even Governor
Mckinley, on taking the platform as
permanent chairman of the convention,
failed to evoke anywhere the volume of
noise with which ex-Speaker Reed was
greeted on the preceding day, although
the demonstration was genuinely and
earnestly enthusiastic. 1t was the one
really picturesque and really dramatic
scene of the session.

The United States in Possession of the
Much Coveted SANTANA Bay.
PARIS, June st is stated in a cable
gram from Kingston, Jamaica, that
much excitement has been caused in San
Domingo by the announcement that the
report has been confirmed that SANTANA
bay, in the western part of the Domingo
republic, the terminus of the Sanchez
LARA railway, has been ceded to the
United States. The Haytian ministry,
the dispatch adds, has become alarmed,
owing to the fact that Mr.. John S. Dur
ham, the American minister to Hayti
and charge d affairs in San Damingo,
has taken residence in the city of
San Domingo. The German consul at
Port au Prince, the dispatch further
states, has received instructions from
his government to come to an under
standing with the representatives of
France and England regarding the steps
necessary to be taken to safeguard the
autonmy of San Domingo. The news
has caused great uneasiness in Hayti.
