said:
I'VE hold that the president OF the Unit

United States mails when they put forth
the presidential and managerial proclama-

find out why that proclamation was made,
and on that point Cleveland's testimony is
essential. do not believe there Is any
law by which he can claim exemption from
coming and testlfying as a witness. The

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Uncle Sans Review OF the Condi.
tions of the Week.


WASHINGTON. May S.-The weather
bureau LII its report of weather crop
conditions for the week ended May Z
says: The week was warm. and the
weather conditions were favorable for
growing crops in all sections east of the
Rocky mountains. The warmer
weather. attended by showers. pro
duccd rapid growth throughout the
Northern states and the northern por-
ton of the cotton region. but the week
was less favorable in the southern Dor.
ton of the cotton region. owing to an
almost total absence of rain in that sec
ton.
The week was cool on the Pacific
coast, except over the interior valleys
of California, where hot and dry
weather proved unfavorable to hay,
grain and pastures.
There was an excess of rain over the
upper lake region and over the central
Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys, the
rainfall being greatest in Southern Mis-
souri, and portions of adjoining states.
There is ample moisture in the rpring
wheat region. and in the states of the
Missouri valley, but rain is needed in
the southern portion of the cotton re.
glOn. There was total absence of rain
in California, and only light showers Oh
the North Pacific coast.
Tie rainfall for the season has been
much less than usual over the greater
portion of the country east of the Mis-
sissippi, the season having been un-
usually dry in the Atlantic coast states.
There is ample moisture generally
throughout the states of the Mississippi
valley, the seasonal eXceSSes of rain
fall being large in Arkansas and over
the greater portion of the spring wheat
region, with slight deficiency in por-
tions of Nebraska, Kansas and Western
Texas.
There has been a slight excess of
rainfall over Washington and Oregon
since March l.
