GATHERING CROP REPORTS.
New System of the Government Explained
 Appointments Made.

N6W system or tDe government
 Appointments Made.
 WASHINGTON, June 27.-The assign ment of state agents in the new system of gathering crop statistics has been completed, save for two districts. The new plan practically does away with the state agencies, as the states are grouped into districts, which only one state agent will supervise. The present system of county reports will also be supplanted by one providing for re- porter in every township and the two systems will be used conjointly, each acting as a check on the other. The country will be divided into twenty-one dis tricts. Fourteen of these will com prise groups of states and seven single states. Some of the state agents have been retained as district agents and others will be dropped from the rolls. The agent for Kansas and Missouri is Henry 0. Garvey; for Iowa, S. R. Davis; for Nebraska, ex-Gov. Robert Furnas.
 The agents for two districts, embrac- ing Arkansas, Indian territory and Ok lahoma, and the other North and South Dakota and Montana, have not been selected. The arrangement eliminates all salaries below $720 a year and makes an average of $1,00O There were formerly forty-five agents and the re- duction to twenty-five makes an ag- gregate saving of several thousand dol lars

BUSINESS GROWS BETTER.
Dun's Trade Rcview for the Week Shows
 Increased Activity.

Increased Activity.
 NEW YORK, June 29.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says: Business is better, although the crop outlook affecting prospects beyond the near future, is little less distinct. There is more ground for doubt about winter wheat and cotton than n week ago, and threshing receipts are com paratively low, though the prospects for spring wheat are exceedingly good. The price, 4 cert lower for the week, is beyond mistake too low, if the latest impressions of injury to winter wheat are correct Receipts for the week are relatively small, but for the four weeks they have been 3, 166, ,4l4 bushels against 5,7o4,5@S bushels last year, while Att lantic exports, flour included, have been for four weeks 4,9l2, ,729 bushels against 2, ,444, ,002 bushels last year.
 Corn has declined fraction and pork is steady. Cotton has fallen S-l6 to cents, in spite of reports of serious injury by rains in Texas and Louisi- ana. A light buying by northern spinners surprises the market for their takings have been more than enough for the years consumption, and returns show great decrease in exports of cotton goods
 Speculation has even spread to the wool market and with an advance of about cent in prices. The sales have been the largest ever known for any week-4, 0l7, 900 pounds, against 6,s35,- 500 in 1892 In four weeks of June sales have been 16, l32, ,465 domestic and IT, 45l, ,500 pounds foreign, but in 1899 they were 13, S40,75 domestic and lO,- 427,500 foreign. A growing belief that the domestic clip is short and an idea that the coming London sales. beginning July 2, will show higher prices have been more potent than a little increase in the manufacturing demand, and the price has risen at all markets. Light weights and mixed goods hesitate and some are lower than year ago, but since the Wash ington mills opened clay worsteds are at a slight advance. Other medium and better grades have been stronger in tone. The labor troubles are pass ing with frequent advances in wages.

Track Laid the Past Year Greater Than for
 the Same Period Last Year.
 NEW YORK, June 2S.-The next num- Der of the Railway Age will contain statistics showing that the total miles of track laid in the United States from January to July 1, 1895, were 641 miles on 65 lines, against 525 miles on 5l lines for the same period of 1894. In 23 of the 49 states and territories no track has thus far been laid this year. In F of these g, construction work is in progress or about to commence on one or more lines, but in six of the states-Connecticut, Delaware, Neva- da, Nebraska, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, not mile of new line now appears likely to be built this year. Total track for 1895 is estimated at 2500 miles.

How the State Department Messenger ss-
 cured Spending Money.
 WASHINGTON, June. 29.-For some time the head of the passport bureau of the state department has been mys- tifed by receiving demands from per- sons in various towns ann cities for a prompt reply to their applications for passports or the return of the money sent to the department In each case investigation failed to show that any such applications have been received. It was apparent that stealing was done somewhere, and after close watching Kirk McMurtrie, a messenger boy, whose duty it was to get the mail and carry it to the passport bureau, was suspected. It was found he had been indulging in lavish expendi- lures and generally had money to spend. The amount lost is not yet known, but it is certain to be well up into the hundreds of dollars from the number of complaints received. It is said that on last Saturday eighteen letters, each inclosing $1, were ab- stracted. McMurtrie has been dis charged.

Epworth LeaGuers OTfer Up Their Devo-

 CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 29.- Lookout mountain was stormed early yesterday morning by 2,OOO Epworth Leaguers, who took possession with out opposition. At 2:3O the street cars began to move the young Meth. Odists toward the mountains. As the cars ran through the city and suburbs their occupants made the air resound with old fashioned Methodist camp meeting music. Darkness covered the face of the mountain as they deter them from their purpose. With gladsome song and hearty shout the ascent was begun. On they went un- til steady stream was scaling the side of the historic old mountain. It was a grand sight that the eye beheld as the summit was reached. The as- sembled band of Wesleyan pilgrims, representing almost every state in the union and also the Dominion of Can ada, reverentially uncovered their heads and began their devotions. Rev. George R. Stuart, the celebrated evan gelist who assisted Sam Jones in his meetings, led the meeting.
 The night meeting was the largest assemblage ever seen in the south. The great tent was filled to overflow ing-people stood in the aisles, and a great circle of listeners hung around on all sides of the tent. It is esti- mated that l5,O0O people were there.

 Growth of Municipal Corruption.
 OMAHA. Neb., June 29 The demand for municipal reform in Omaha became so pronounced yesterday that business men and citizens, regardless of party feeling, united in the publication of a proclamation calling for the organiza- ton of city government The em- bers of public indignation have been famed for several months by the all legged corruption existing in local municipal affairs. Months ago it was noticed that city money was being used by specu- latorS, contractors and others with political influence. The matter be- came so fragrant two weeks since that the school board demanded an investi- gatiou as to its funds The next day City Treasurer Bolln fled from the city, leaving a note that he had gone to commit suicide. Officers located him in hiding. Developments showed that many members of the city council and other politicians owed the city from Sl0o to 5000 each. The only security the treasurer had was a slip in the cash drawer indicating the amount due the city on the I. O. Us Cash was missing to the amount of S3O,OOO. Since then this has been reduced two-thirds by the l. O. U's being taken up. The council, in the face of the situation, refused to depose Bolln, though many citizens were demanding his arrest. A week after his defalcations were made pub lie, Bolln resigned. The mayor re- peatedly sent names of citizens to the council, but that body refused to con- firm the nominations, in the meantime leaving Bolln in office. After turning down many of the most reliable citi- zens of Omaha, the council at 10 o'clock last night, after a weeks delay, con- tirmed J. H. Dumont as city treasurer

Humphreys Nav Find.

Charley Humphreys writes to the
Bishop Register as follows concern
ing his new mine, near Silver Peak:
The vein is no where less than two
feet in width as far as it is uncov-
cred, and shows four feet in one
place. Six assays have been made
recently from samples taken from the
full width straight across the vein.
The highest showed little over 800
per ton, and the lowest $25, and the
average fraction over $40. Another
average sample, made by Mr. Tru-
man of Garfield, went $25 per ton.
This was taken from the same ledge
where it measured four feet a fair
sample for the whole width. A good
spring is situated within two and a
half miles.
