CHILNUALMA FALLs-F. L., City. The Chill.
nualma Falls, near the Yosemite Valley, are
located about four miles north of Wawona,
Mariposa County. There are two tails; the up
per has fall OF 800 feet, while the other
which is at the foot of succession of rapids
has a fall of about fifty feet. The scenery in
the immediate vicinity is said to be as pic

ley. The falls flow into stream that enters

falls, which was laid out by James H. Law

CROP CONDITIONS.

Washington, June %. The weather bo
reau, in its report of crop conditions for
the week ending June "a, says:
The past week has been generally favor
able, though somewhat too cool in the
Dakotas and Minnesota for some crops,
especially corn, while excessive RAIDS
have proved injurious over the central and
western portions of the cotton regions.
Drought has been relieved over the grea ter
part of the Ohio valley, but continues IN
Central Wisconsin, Southern Michigan
and portions of Tennessee, Pennsylva MIA
and New York. Harvesting of VIII ter
wheat has continued and is now general
over the northern portion of the wheat
belt, and is nearing completion in the
southern portion. The harvesting has
begun in Illinois and Tennessee. The
weather during the past week has proved
favorable for spring wheat, sustaining the
previously reported excellent condition
of this wheat which is now beginning to
head Corn has made good growth during
the week, and except in the Dakotas and
Minnesota, where it is reported backward
the general condition is excellent. The
| crop has been largely laid by in the South
ern States, and in Kansas is beginning
to tassel and silk.
Cotton has been injured by heavy rains
in the central and western portions Of
the cotton region and in Texas and Louis
lana, the crop is reported very gra ssy.
1T is reported as fruiting well in Misss-
slppi, and as improved in condition in
Eastern Alabama, Arkansas and North
Carolina. Florida an Oklahoma report
the crop in excellent condition.
r, Ihe oats harvest has begun in the
southern States, and reports as to the crop
are generally favorable. In Iowa, the
largest crop ever harvested in that State
is promised.
Tobacco planting is about completed
IN Ohio, where the plants were last week
reported as dying. the recent rains hav-
ing proved of great benefit.
A heavy frost occurred in Utah on the

to consider. 1t says:
While the Republican party in the
United States is divided both as to the
candidates and the issues in the presiden-
tial campaign, the Democrats show signs
of an attempt to settle the issues long in
advance, and then to select their can
didates. They have an opportunity now
of consolidating their forces in the face
of a divided enemy and retrieving the
blunders of thelate congress- This step
alone will save them from defeat.
There is no doubt that if the Demo
Gratis now "get together" they will be in
good plight to win an overwhelming Ma
tiOnal victory in 1896. Republicans have
no issue to propose except a revival of
professionalism, which the country has
often discredited and regards with an
ever increasing disgust. On the silver
question the Republicans are as much di-
yided as the Democrats, and an eminent

early decline, and without any good rea-
son apparent, took n sharp turn upward,

THE KEEL CANAL.
Baron Thielman Gives a Short History
of the Work.

Washington, June 25.-Baron Thiel-
man, the new German ambassador, who
presented his credentials to the state de-
partment yesterday, gave the Associated
Press an interview today on current
German-American questions. He was
asked as to the Kiel canal, not the de-
tails of the recent opening, which have
come fully by cable, but the commercial
and stra tegic Importance of the new
waterway.
THE project of a deep water canal
connecting the Baltic with the North sea
was devised a century or more ago."
said he, but it was not until about 20
years ago that the German government
took it up and gave it practical form. 1t
has been built entirely as a government
enterprise without private interests. A
feature that deserves special attention
is that the entire work involving an eX.
penditure of about $40,0O000O has been
completed at cost below the original
estimates by 100000. This is probably
without parallel in the construction of
great public works; and besides complet-
ing the canal inside the estimate, a high
bridge costing 100000 has been built
in addition.
Although built by Germany, it is
VpCh W tne WORTH Ou eAdclly Cle same
terms as to German ships"
why is it," the ambassador was asked,
that the cables report German ships
grounding in the canal"
THAT is DUE" said he, "to the presence
at kiel of the largest ships afioat. which
were participating in the celebration.
But the ordinary commerce between the
Baltic and North sea is in vessels of 500
to 700 tons and of light draft, whereas
these great warships at the celebration
| drew as much as "a feet. Furthermore,
the opening of the canal does not mean
that it is completed. There must be
dredging, deepening and repairing con-
stantly."
The ambassador was asked as TO tbe
significance of Emperor Williams speech
and in showing Germany's desire to
maintain peace.
He replied Ever since the war with
France, Germany has been sincerely de.
sirous of having peace with the rest of
the world VI
What are the prospects," he was ask.
ed, that Germany will participate in an
international monetary conference?"

school taxes by the last legislature,
equalization boards under instructions
handed around by the present admins
tration are running up valuations IN N
Tarrant, Clay and other counties as II
the State had on hand war with Russia.
In spite of intimations and implied prom
ises to the contrary, the present admins
tration is moving all along the line for
both direct and indirect increases in the
demands upon the taxpayer. If it were
not a Democratic administration the ex-
ira exactions during season of depres-
sion and peace would be regarded very
generally as an objectionable crime
