Dying BY THOUSANDS.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, June 13.-The cholera
has appeared in many districts of Ash
attic Turkey, and is spreading rapidly.
Along the lower Tigris and the Shat-el-
Arab River people are dying by thous-
ands. Villages have been deserted
by those fleeing from the pest. The
panic has become SO great that few fami-
lies wait to bury their dead or even to
nurse their sick, but flee to the next
towns to escape the infection.
The fugitives from stricken towns are
spreading the epidemic with appalling
rapidity. Letters from Bassora city say
that 10000 people have fed from Bassora
province alone.

and congregated in groups to talk it
over. Each of the patriots tried hard to
convince himself and others that it
meant pronounced victory for his par
ticular faction, but not one of them sue
.ceeded in doing so. It left them all in
increased doubt as to whether Murphy
ism or Tammanyism is on top in
Washington. While the leader of
the former clan got the district attor-
neyship, the collectorship of customs
went to full sympathizer with Tam
many's constitution and purpose, and
the marshalship was won by man who

guish tomahawk from a. shillalah.

crop-weather bulletin.

Weather-The week has been cooler
than the preceding week. There has
been less sunshine, and since Friday
there have been frequent showers.
Crops-The, weather has been most
favorable to the growth of all vegetation
Both fall and spring wheat are much
better than they were last year. Re
ports indicate an unusually heavy hay
crop. Pastures are luxuriant, and as q
result stock is in prime condition.
Strawberries are becoming very plenti-
ful and they are good crop. Reports
do not show that the peach and cherry
crop will be over one-half crop, except
in Douglas, Josephine and jackson
counties, where the prospects are good
for an average crop. The prune crop
will be unusually heavy. The onion
crop bids fair to be one of the largest on
record.
EASTERN OREGON.
Weather-During the fore part of the
week warm easterly winds prevailed for
two days, changing to cooler and cloudy
weather, with occasional light sprinkles
during the latter few days, especially on
IlC 4OtAs 1nO 1ueau 0IIpeTdIuTO varied
from 48 to 64 degrees, as against so to
62 degrees of the preceding week.
Crops = Strawberries are ripening
rapidly, and are very large and fine.
The peach crop is not full, except in the
Snake river orchards. The fruit pros
poets are on the whole not the most en-
couraging, except berries, and they will
be fully an average crop. More rain
would prove beneficial to the cereal
crop, but its absence, with continua-
ton of cool, partly cloudy weather will
work no serious injury
Rivers The Columbia, Snake and
tributary rivers are gradually rising and
the prospects are for'a continuous rise.
Considerable danger yet exists and
while high water is yet to be expected,
yet it is not probable that they will at
tain a higher point than they have in
1880, 1882, or 1887, VIXEN in each of
these years the river was from 26 to %
feet at Portland.

Gas supply struck.

F1NDLAY, O., June 13.-The city drilled
in a 20,0o0,O0O foot gas well on the
Creighton farm, five miles east of the
city today. When the gas was struck
the flow was SO strong that the tools
were blown out of the we'll. An effort
to shut the well in failed, and tubing
was blown higher than the derrick.
This well outrivals the famous Karg,
and the roar of the escaping gas can be
heard for five miles.
