BUREAU COTTON REPORT.
LOWEST AUGUST AVERAGE EVER SENT
FROM THE DEPARTMENT.
And Texas Stands at the Bottom Of the
List With Mark Of Only seventy-Two.
Unfavorable Weather Conditions
Everywhere,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The crop
report of the agricultural department
for the month of August makes the
condition of cotton 1914. a decline of q
little over two points since last month.
This is the lowest average for August
ever given out by the department.
Averages by states: Virginia, sS;
North Carolina, "a; South Carolina, 70;
Georgia, SO, Florida, 80; Alabama, rs:
Mississippi, 81; Louisiana, S5; Texas,
u; Arkansas, SO; Tennessee, SO. Gen
eral average in August for several
years follow: 1892, 1913; 1891, $50;
1890, s9.5; 1889, 1913; 1888, s7.3;
1887, 1913. The present low condition
is in consequence of excess of rain in
the early part of the season, followed
by hot, dry weather in the month of
July. Rust is reported as the cause of
injury to the crop in Alabama and
Mississippi, and the boil worm and
caterpillar have damaged the crop
more or less throughout the states of
Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and Ar
kansas. Shedding is also reported as
occurring in some localities. Since the
list of August the drouth has been
broken and rain has visited the cotton
belt, excepting parts of Tennessee,
Mississippi and Texas, where it is bad
ly needed. In some portions of Mis-
sissippi and Alabama too much for the
good of cotton is announced.

Tho Kangaroo Pest.

The kangaroo pest has always been a
great nuisance to the Australian squat
tiers, for on an average these animals
consume as much grass as a sheep. 1t
is stated that ON sheep run Of GO, 900 to
10000 acres 10000 kangaroos were kill
ed annually for six years, and yet their
numbers remained very formidable in
the locality. In the colony of South
Australia hundreds of thousands Of kan
garoos are slaughtered annually for their
skins and the bonus offered by the au-
thorities. The number Of these marsu-
pals in New South Wales in 1889 was es-
timated to be over A, 900, 900, and yet about
100000 kangaroos and ESQ., wallabies
were destroyed In the colony that year.
A bonus of 10 cents for each kangaroo
killed is offered in Australia; hence the
colonists are gradually discriminating
these native animals. Over 600, 900 skins
are annually shipped to England and a
large number to North America to be
converted into leather.-Science Gossip.

Nothing Sacred in Politics.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Wash
ingtop correspondent of The Herald
last night telegraphed his paper as
follows: A wild report is being cir
culated in Washington tonight to the
effect that Mr.. Cleveland will leave the
city tomorrow and go to Buzzard's
Bay because he feels that he is beaten
in his efforts to secure the repeal of
the purchase clause of the Sherman
act. The silver men are radient with
Joy and declare that the president has
abandoned his post and surrendered
the leadership which he assumed in
his message.
The simple ruth is that domestic
event in Mr.. Cleveland's family will re-
quire him to be at the side of his
wife within seven days and it
is hardly-decent politics to
drag such delicate matter
into the rough and tumble political
fight. The president stands by his
message and expects to win his strug-
gle to give the country relief and save
it from the general imi ending ruin.
Nothing could induce him to leave
Washington at such supreme crisis,
but an event touching his tenderest
and most sacred personal RESPONSE
bilities.

Danger of lee 6Orges.

PTTTsEURG, Pa, Jan. 9.-Lumbermen,
coal operators and rivermen generally
along the Allegheny and Monongahela
rivers are viewing the thickening ice
with apprehension. The Allegheny
through the entire length Is covered with
ice, except in few spots where ripples
or strong springs disturb the surface.
The Ice will bear teams and boats are
frozen to the shore. On the Mononga-
hela a similar condition exists, the coal
men between this city and Brownsville
being at their wits end To secure their
fleets against destruction. They are safe
just now, but with the first warm wealth
er the snow melting will cause a sudden
flood of sufficient magnitude to drive the
ice out, causing gorge at many places
Tow boats, coal flats and half completed
boats are frozen in as solid as the ice IL
self. At few tiPples the steamers are
kept moving TO clear a channel outside
10 where the boats lie, but the ice gets
heavier every day. At McKeesport the
Eoughioghenv and MouongaheIa are
frozen over solid enough To bear teams
and passengers for PittSburg, Virginia
and Charleston railroad station walk over
to RiSher on the ice. If both rivers rise
and 90 out at once the flood created at
the junction of the Ohio will be some
hing terrible.
