Printing the Reports.

Under the new printing act a diff
Guilty has arisen with reference to the
publication of consular reports, which,
unless remedied, will have the effect
of curtailing their distribution. These
reports cover wide range of informa-
tion. The department of state has an
annual appropriation of 500, 900 to ex-
pend for this purpose. The public
printer has, however, taken the ground
that under the provisions of section SO
of the new printing act, approved Jan
uary IL, 1895, he is not authorized to
printa greater number of these reports
than 1000 copies during the present fs-
cal year except by order of congress.
The department contends that il was
not TIE intention of congress to depart
from the established custom Of print
ing and distributing these reports, and
has now requested congress to author
ize the printing of as many copies of
each as the appropriation just APP
proved justifes This appropriation
for the current fiscal year, $40, 600,
will be sufficient for the purpose pro-
vided the necessary authority to use it
is obtained. The department is col
lecting q series of reports upon certain
subjects of general interest, such, for
example, as the railroad and steamship
systems of the world, which it pro-
poses to publish in special numbers.
These would also seem to be limited
by the provisions of the new printing
act, as construed by the public printer.

JlClanS TO be sworn IN
A Nashville special says: 1t has de-
veloped that II. Clay Evans's attor-
neys, with the exception of Colonel
A. S. Colyar, were opposed to his be-
ing sworn in and that he acted on the
advice of politicians rather than attor-
neys. He has made no attempt to
assume the duties Of governor, while
Governor Turney has pursued tho even

Governor Turney's petition, setting
forth specific objections to the count
ing of the returns of the counties to
which objection was made, was filed
with Speaker Pillow, of the senate,
and copy served on Mr.. Evans by
the sergeant-at-arms of the senate.
The petition is very lengthy and takes
up each county in detail, showing the
districts of each county in which the
poll tax law was violated and the num-
Der of votes cast. Mr.. Evans has five
days in which to reply, and Governor
Turney has two days in which to
answer the reply.

was before it. He furnished the COM

The secretary was subjected to run

TOPEKA, Kan, May 23.-The Kansas
weather crop bulletin for the week
ended the Goth says: In the eastern
division corn is growing slowly; wheat
headed short, with no improvement in
condition; oats, grass and fax need
rain very much; fruit is still holding
its own. Gardens and potatoes are
making some progress. Frosts have
nipped corn and vegetables in locali-
ties even as far south as Coffey vile.
In the middle division it has been a
hard week on crops, the conditions be-
ing continuously unfavora ble-frosts,
dry weather and sudden changes in the
temperature, with much wind, doing
the work. Corn is still the best crop.
In the western division all irrigated
crops are in fine condition, but the I'M
irrigated are growing poorly or retro
grading. Alfalfa is the best crop in
this division and the first crop is now
being harvested in the southern coun-
ties and is nearly ready for harvesting
