Does Not Believe in Talking Too Much on
the Crops.
MINNEAPOLIS, July IL. Charles A.
Pillsbury believes that there is good
prospect for good wheat crop, al
though the critical period is yet TO
come. There are two weeks to wait
for the harvesting of the Minnesota
crop, while three weeks will tell the
tale in North Dakota. Unfavorable
meteorological conditions might still
intervene to spoil the promising crop,
and it is possible that July frost will
come on to blight the fair prospect. As
to the total crop there is, Mr.. Pillsbury
thinks, 10 per cent decrease in acreage
for wheat and per cent increase i'll
the acreage for other crops.

The lack OF an appropriation from which

the Government the services of this vessel
for two years and possibly longer, II Con-
gress does not make such an appropriation
next winter
The Chicago is now laid up in ordinary

continuous service. Her batteries are to
be changed.
The four eightinch guns, which form a
part of her present battery, viii be retained,
but ten five-inch rapid-fire guns win be sub
stituted for the six-inch and five inch breech-
loading rifles, which she now carries.
The Chicago was one OF the four vessels,
the Others being the Boston, Atlanta and
Dolphin, which marked the Renaissance, so
to speak, of the new Navy. This quartet
OF ships were the first to be constructed
wholly OF steel. They were built by John
Roach & Sons, at Chester, Pa.
The historic Old wooden covette Hart
ford, which is now at the Mare Island navy
yard, and which 1t is purposed practically
to rebuild and fit out with thirteen 5-incb
rapid-fire guns, will not be in commission
for several years.
AS in the case of the Chicago, IA special
appropriation by Congress is needed to de
fray the expenses of converting her into a
modern man-ofwar, and il the money be
voted next winter it will not be ava liable
until the first of the following July. 1t is
estimated that two years will be required
to make her available for cruising pur-
