May Be the Next Speaker of the
House.
Washington, Sept 17.-Among the re-
publican congressman here there is
some speculation as to whether or not
Speaker Reed will be a candidate for
reelection as presiding officer of the
Fifty-fifth congress.
Reed can undoubtedly be reelected,
although there are several Of the older
W estern members who thing that sec
ton of the country is entitled to the
speakers gavel. In connection with
Reeds intentions, there is runor cur
rent that he has already been rendered
a position in the Mckinley cabinet,
in the event of the Canton candidates
election.
1t is said that Chairman Hanna and
Mckinley have concluded that Reed
is by far the biggest republican in the
party, and that he should be given
the portfolio of state. AS secretary,
Mr.. Reed would have a great oppor-
tunity to make brilliant record in
diplomatic affairs and it is believed
that he will accept the position.
If the speaker is thus eliminated
from the speakership contest, Gen.
Henderson, of Iowa, and Uncle Joe
Cannon, of Illinois. will, it is believed,
become active candidates But it is
further stated that neither one will
develop strength enough to secure the
prize. Cannon. has many enemies, for
he has objected and prevented more
local legislation going through con-
gress than any other republican mem
Der, He has done so in the interest
OF economy. and to make the right
sort of record for the republican party
but that does not make him strong
friends. Henderson also lost many
friends during the last session by his
arbitrary position on several ques-
lions. He was the leading spirit Of
the committee on rules, and often
brought in reports that were consid-
cred very arbitrary
Among the possible candidates men
toned for speaker, is man whose
name is now more frequently heard
around republican committee rooms
than that of any other Western men,
Der. 1t Is Hon. James T. McCleary. OF
Minnesota If it is to be an open Held
1t is believed here that the member
from the Second district will, provided
he enters che contest, secure more sup

any other member. McCleary's

been in greater demand than any
other campaign document. And he
has been importuned to make speeches

Weekly Crop Report.
Special to the Globe.
HURON, S. d., Sept. T.-The weather
and crop bureau in its weekly report
says:
The temperature during the week
averaged below the normal and al
though 1t was quite warm sometimes
in the afternoon, the weather was gem
orally cool, with cool nights. On the
morning Of Friday, 18th inst, light to
heavy frost occurred in localities over
most of the state. In some 1t killed
vines and cut the leaves off the latest
corn considerably, but no material
damage resulted to staple crops, so far
as heard from. 1t was heaviest on low
lands.
There was more partly cloudy and
rainy weather than usual
me rains that occurred were princi-
pally In showers, mostly light, although
there are localities where from OTIS to
200 inches occurred the heaviest prin-
cipally in Minnehaha, Pennington and
turner and contiguous counties.
The rains were beneficial in putting
the soil in condition for fall blowing,
but interfered to more or less extent
with stacking and threshing in local.
ties. They were also favorable for
grass, which continues green in most
counties. and some haying is still being
done.
The corn is practically made and is
the best, the state considered, for a
number of years. Many correspond
ents report it the best ever produced
In their respective counties. The ears
are full length, fully developed. and
nicely matured, while In many counties
the stalks produced more ears than
usual. There are local exceptions to
this, due, no doubt to the local charac-
ter OF showers, but generally the crop
is very fine, considerable has already
been cut and shocked, and some has
been gathered from the field There is
only little max yet to be harvested.
Late potatoes are matured and are
being gathered in some localities.
