CROPS IN TIE STATE.
The Stand of Cotton Not as Promising
AS It Might Be.

Atlanta, Ga, June 13.-The weekly
state weather bulletin says: Work in
the northwest has been retarded, but tho
warm sunshiny days of the last part of
the week have helped all crops, but cotton
is not in the best of condition. Harvest
ing has commenced.
"Cotton in the northern sections shows
improvement, and other crops are in ex-
cellent form Fruit, however, has been
injured by heavy rains.
''Fruit and crops In the northwest
promise fair.
''The stands of cotton in the western
counties are poor, and full crop win not
be made Peaches are rotting.
'eIn Central Georgia the past week has
been favorable for harvesting and quite
an Improvement is noted. Melons are
only fair and shipments will begin this
week.
s'In the east cotton is hardly fair, but
melons are fine. The weather conditions
have been very favorable for all plant
life
''Cotton in the southwest Is fine and
blooming. Other crops are in the same
condition.
'In Southern Georgia all crops are in a
flourishlng state and the same may be
said of the crops In the southeastern

HELD PRISONER BY INDIANS.
A Doctor Who Accidentally Killed a

St. Paul, MINI, June 1S.-Dr. ]. r.
Walker, resident physician and over
seer at the Leech Lake Indian reserva-
tion, telegraphed to the department head
quarters yesterday that he had acct
dentally shot and killed an Indian. This

Company ID of the Third United States

WAS SHOOTING AT A FAwN.
st. Paul, MINI, June Information
received up TO 10 o'clock D. m. from Park
Rapids Grand Rapids and Deer river,
points along the edge Of the Leech Lake
reservation, is all of the same general
purport, but meager as to details. Dr.
James H. Walker, the resident physician
ut Leech Lake, and friends went out
hunting Monday, and the former, by acci-
dent while shooting at a fawn, shot and
so seriously wounded a popular young
Indian that he died. This so angered the
Indians on the reservation, a little over 400
in number, that theygave the hunters chase
and captured DR. Walker. They hurried
him into the woods several miles away,
and what has been done with him can
only be conjectured. 1t is the general be-
lief that he has been scalped and cut to
pieces by the Chippewas There is fear
also that the settlers along the reserve
viii suffer, as the Chippewas have three
times in the last few years driven out the
whites. There is still hope, however,
that the Indians are holding DR.. Walker
in the hope of securing bribe from the
government.

Named For the Brunswick Banks.
Washington, June 13.-There is moth
ing brand new about the collectorship of
internal revenue for Georgia. Represen-
tative Turner has made his speech for his
man and the North Georgia people have
made other speeches that are presumed
to be counter irritant. Secretary Carlisle
appears to have promised to put Col
Trammell in the office and the President
will hardly go behind the returns this
late in the day
Mayor Tuck of Athens was here to-day
on his return south from New York 1t
appears from his statement that the
legal cause which called him to Gotham
involves a grave local question for his
town. Athens had water works built
some ten years ago by a northern con-
Germ. The works have proved made
quate after ten years trial and a con-
tract entered into with a new company is
the issue to- be met. The original COM
pany claim a thirty years monopoly of
the water rights of the town under their
contract and they have enjoined the new
company, who have their works nearly
complete, from doing business. Mayor
Tuck thinks the town will overthrow the
injunction.
Gen. Gordon returned yesterday after
noon from New York, and is stopping a

York at an early date, with Lee and
Grant as his subjects.

that he won't be accommodated unless he
can pay his debts. However, he will
see Controller Eckles again tomorrow
and then the matter will be decided.

GERMAN MINERS RIoT1Na.
Efforts to Drive Them From Their
Houses Resisted.


Houses Resisted.
Berlin, June IA. 9 u. m.--More riots are
reported from Euenfkirchen. The cause
of the trouble Is that the military and
police are driving the strikers and their
families from the houses owned by
the colliery owners. Although the
rents have been paid up, notices
TO vacate the houses IN forty-eight hours
were posted. The notices caused the
hostile demonstrations, threatening the
colonies of foreign born miners. Most of
the men who had paid rent regularly re-
fused to give up their houses peaceably,
and therefore were hunted out Those
who took refuge with neighbors living in
houses owned by the companies were
driven out into the fields, where they
were compelled to sleep with their
wives and children without covering or
shelter. Men who tried to return home
or to incite resistance against the
troops were pushed by the hus-
sars. Some were ridden down and others
were slashed with swords. Dozens Of
women and children have been wounded
in the encounters. The ring leaders have
been manacled and imprisoned

DUTY ON LEAF TOBACCO.
A Decision That VIII Cause the Re-
funding of 30, 100000.

Washington, June 13.-Assistant Secre-
tary Hamlin has instructed the collector
of customs at New York to refund the
duties paid under conditions involved in
the suit of Blumlein s. Co. against the
United States, recently decided against
the United States. The question raised
in this suit was as to the proper CON
struction of the tariff act of
March 3, 1S83 relating to the
proper classification of leaf tobacco.
The law provided that whenever S5 per
cent. of leaf tobacco was suitable for
wrappers the duty should be 75 cents per
pound, otherwise 35 cents per pound, but
no unit for computing the percentage
was named in the law. Collectors
under the instructions fixed upon
"the hand" as the minimum unit,
whereas the court decides the
bale to constitute the. unit in question.
All entries of tobacco, therefore, await
ing the determination of this question
will be relinquished in accordance with
the court decision, and it is estimated that
at leasl 81, 100000 will have to be refund
ed to the importers

THE UNION PRINTERS AROUSED.
The Protest > gainst Non-union Man
For Public Printer.

For Public Printer.
Chicago, June 13.-The first thing the
international Typographical Union CON
vcntion did to-day was to show It's feeling
toward non-unionists. In the executive
committee meeting, yesterday, It became
known that G. w. Edwards of Whining
ton, Del, who aspires to be public printer
at Washington, is not in sympathy with
union principles, Immediately after the
roll call this morning, President Prescott
appointed committee composed of
Messrs. Corcoran of Salt Lake, Rooney
of Toledo and Seagraves of Washington,
to draw up protest against Mr.. Edwards
being placed in charge of the government
printing office. The resolutions as re-
ported by the committee declare that
$4,000 union printers object most strongly
to the appointment of Mr. Edwards, or
any other man, as public printer who is
not in sympathy with organized labor.
During the discussion over the adop-
tion of the resolutions it was stated that
a letter was in the hall which Mr.. Ed
wards wrote to President Prescott, ask
ing the convention to take no action con-
demning his non-union ideas until his case
was more fully considered A motion
was made that the letter be read. But
by a decisive vote the convention refused
to give Mr., Edwards a hearing. The
resolutions were then adopted, after GER
tain phrases, commencing the democratic
administration, had been stricken out.
1t was also decided that the resolutions
be telegraphed TO President Cleveland,
and that copy should also be sent to

COINAGE OF SILVER.
The Purchases by the Treasury Since
1890 @11A, ,290,o ego.

1890 S114 ,299, $40.
Washington, June 13-In a statement
concerning the operation of the sherman
silver act, Secretary Carlisle said to-day
that under this act there have been
coined 500 ,3OS ,46l which makes the total
coinage of silver dollars under all tho
acts since 1878 S419, ,294 ,s35, or more than
fifty times as much as was coined during
the previous period Of eighty-one years.
The Secretary Of tho Treasury has pur-
chased under the act of July IA,
1890, and now holds in the vaults
of the treasury 124, ,292, ,532 fine
ounces Of silver bullion, which cost tho
people OF the United States 114,290, 800,
and Is worth to-day, at the market price
of silver, S103 All 1856, thus showing loss
of $40, ,S85, $50 The records of the treas
ury department show that during tho
eleven months beginning May l, 1899, and
ending May 81, 1898, the coin treasury
notes issued for the purchase of silver
bullion under the act of July ii, 1890,
amounted TO $40, ,06l, ,1S4, and that during
the same period the amount OF
such notes paid in gold was
$47, ,745, 1873 1t thus appears that all
silver bullion purchased during that
time, except $22l6,0l1 worth, was paid
for in gold, while the bullion itself Is
stored in the vaults of the treasury, and
can neither be sold nor used for the pay
ment of any kind of obligation. How
long the government shall thus be com-
pelled to purchase silver bullion and in
crease the public debt by issuing
coin obligations in payment for it is
question which congress alone can
answer. 1t is evident that if this policy
is continued and the Secretary of the
Treasury shall be compelled to issue bonds
or otherwise increase the interess s-bearing
public debt, 1t viii be done for the pur-
pose Of procuring gold with which to pay
for silver bullion purchased under tho
act referred to.

EACH CLASS SEPARATED.
A Decision Affecting Cadets of the
Naval Academy.

Washington, June 13.-The Attorney
General has submitted to the navy de-
partment an opinion that will be of inter
est to cadets not only of the graduating
class this year, but hereafter. 1t was
found that the engineer class would not
graduate a sufficient number of cadets
to fill all the vacancies in
that branch of the navy, while
the marine class was too numerous, and
the question submitted to the Attorney
General was whether the Secretary of
the Navy could assign these marine ca
diets to fill the surplus vacancies in the
engineer branch. The Attorney General
has decided that this cannot be done and
that each class is entirely independent
and cannot graduate it's members into an
other branch of the service.

BETTER TIMES AHEAD.
The Worst of the Financial Crisis
Probably Passed.

Washington, June 13,-The financial
condition of the country as viewed from
the treasury standpoint shows general
improvement. Banks and commercial
failures are fewer, Europe is buying our
grain in greater quantities, gold ship
ments have ceased, at least for the pres
ent, confidence is being restored and
money is not so tight. The treasury's net
gold has increased from $50, 900 900 to S91,-
300, 600 and the demand for small money
in the west will have the effect to further
increase the treasury gold. The rate of
exchange is sufficiently high to warrant
the shipment of gold abroad, but the fact
that commercial paper is for sale
in London has deterrent effect. There
is a general feeling that the worst is
passed, the weaker financial institutions
and business firms having succumbed,
while those that passed through so far
unscathed are the stronger for having
weathered the financial storm.
