WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.
report of the Agricultural Bureau Fo
the Week Ending Aug. 6.

the week Ending Aug. u.
BOSTON, Aug. 7.-The weather-orop bull
letin for the past week, issued today by
the New England weather service, is as
follows:
Abundant rains have fallen over the
greater part of Maine during the week
and crops are doing very we'll. Grain is
ripening very fast and is filling WE'LL with
few reports of rust on the leaves. With
out exception, the correspondents in this
state report an extra large crop of all
English grasses, and the greater part of it
secured in excellent condition.
AS has been stated in other bulletins,
the hay on old fields in all central and
southern New Hampshire was light on
account of the drought, but on well-culti-
waited lands it is pronounced good. Ex-
ceptions are where injured by excessive
rains in Grafton county and by late cold
weather in the north. Glover was particu-
larly injured by the cold weather and
frosts in Coos county, and in all the south
ern counties in this state
In the greater part of Vermont the rain
fall has been sufficient, but in Windham
county, in the southern part, it is very dry,
and nearly all crops are suffering. Here
the second crop of clover has been injured,
and on late cut lots the fields have been
badly burned, and it is feared the roots are
permanently injured. The yield Of small
grain, especially oats, is promising in
Chittenden county. Clover was winter
killed to some extent in Orange county,
but is extra good in Windsor county.
In Massachusetts the early drought af-
fected the grass on high lands everywhere,
and in western Worcester county the
swamp or meadow lands were injured by
the dry weather last fall; but generally
wet lands show good crop and of excel
lent quality. English grasses vary in this
state; in Barnstable county they are pro
nounced light, and in most of Worcester
and Franklin counties clover is very poor.
The hay crop in Rhode Island was in
jured by the dry weather last fall and this
early spring, and the prospect for the sec
ond crop in the northern part of the state,
especially, is not encouraging. In Wash
ington county plenty of rain has fallen,
and all crops not too far gone are showing
the effects and pushing ahead rapidly.
Corn and late potatoes are doing very we'll
The drought has been broken in Con
of the state where very little rain came
this week. Corn shows improvement, but
will be late in many fields. Fruit prospects
are more encouraging Pastures had got
extremely dry and much feeding has to be
done from the barns. The hay crop was
secured in remarkably fine shape.

LONDON, Aug. 8.--A Times special from
Tromsoe gives further details of the doings
of the Wellman party since May II, the
date upon which the expedition reached
Walden island
Mr.. Wellman resumed his journey
northward on May 81, but Bottolfsen and
his party were unable to start on their
trip, owing to the heavy pack-ice, and were
still detained at the island on June 23,
when Sando, lversen, Winship and Heyer-
dahl returned from Mr.. Wellman, owing
to the lack of provisions and to troubles in
regard to ice and water, with orders and
mails from Wellman, who had gone for
ward
On June 27 Captain Bottolfsen and his
party started southward in search of seal
ers, hauling behind them 12-foot alumni
ium boat. They passed four terrible
weeks OF storm and heavy snow, some
times hauling their boat, and sailing or
rowing where there was open water In
this way they travelled 23O miles along the
Spitzbergen islands. They were compelled
ITO throw away nearly oil their extra
NlOoIiSO uAlL LII NOl VI t1lSLL as
the boat was overloaded.
Their passage across Henlopen strait
was particularly difficult and dangerous
All the party were wet to the skin, and the
cold being intense their sufferings were
most severe The cold on the nights of
July 10 and 12 was simply awful In hut
at Mossel bay they found and repaired an
old gig.
On July 13 they tried to cross Wide
bay but were obliged to return, owing to
the fog and ice. They made another start
on the 10Th, but the ice proved too dense,
and they were obliged to abandon the, gig
and proceed, hauling the aluminium boat.
Seven Norwegian sealers were seen east of
the Morse islands, but they failed to re
spond to the party's signals
AT Morse bay they found Nordenskjold's s
hut, where a provision depot was main
tanned by Tromsoe skipper, named Soc
ciazon. The party had to take their boat
around Welcome Point.
On July 19 they were taken aboard the
steamer Malygen, Captain Petersen
Heyerdahl was landed at Danes island to
join Professor Oyen, who was well, but
still declined to leave the island.

Mills Have long Been Curtai1ing Produc-
tion-A Difference of Opinion as to
Whether Strike VIII Result.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug 1.-THE Fall
River Cotton Manufacturers association
yesterday voted to reduce all classes 10
per cent from present rates, the reduction
to go into effect Aug. 30.
1t was also voted to pay weavers by the
pound instead of by cut, to avoid objec-
tional publicity of details of weaving re-
quired by the weavers' particulars bill in
payment by cut The new payment to
weavers is to be 22-7 cents pound for
regular print cloth. The present price is
is cents for cut weighing seven pounds.
The new price is equal to reduction of 2
cents cut.
Operatives in mills have promised to
strike if a cut-down is tried, but manu-
facturers appear Indifferent as to the pos
sibility of a strike They claim that they
have held off for year against low prices
for cloth and poor business Now prices
have gone SO low that many mills are run
ming at loss, and in spite of low prices
the stock is increasing. The manufactur-
ers claim that the wages are from 10 to Is
per cent higher than in other places.
The Notices of These Reductions
were posted in the mills this morning.
The majority of the treasurers who voted
have stated since the meeting that they
sincerely hoped the operatives would re-
sist the reduction by striking work.
1t would offer many treasurer5 oppor
tunity of breaking contracts and thus cur

able to secure curtailment by agreeing
among themselves to close their mills, but
they say the stubborn ones among them
will be eforced to shut down if the operatives
refuse to work.
Secretary Whitehead of the Weavers
union says he does not think the opera
tives will submit to a reduction at the
present time. He will not advise a strike
unless all the representatives of the unions
in the city get together and vote to stop
work, as he believes it will be useless for
the spinners to act without the weavers, or
for the help in any one department to
Act Independently of the Other.
Some mills have been curtailing produc-
ton for several weeks. The American
Linen, Fall River Manufacturing King
Philip, Durfee, Barnaby and Stevens
have, or will have, curtatled production
more or less this year, but manufacturers
recognize that other mills in other places
have also curtailed great deal.
Thousands of spindleS have been idle,
still goods have continued to accumulate
until more than 1000, 900 pieces of printing
cloths are now held in this city and Provi-
dence.
Acting Secretary O'Donnell of the Spin
ners Union went over large portion of
this ground yesterday. He says he does
not think it would be prudent at the
present time to advise a strike against the
proposed reduction. Trade, he says is ap-
parently in low condition everywhere.
If the mills here were to stop, others |
now idle would resume, and what little |
market now exists would be stolen by |
other than Fall River competitors. He |
would be inclined to rest quietly until the |
first sign of improvement, then strike |
