FRUIT CROP POOR.
a Poor Yield of Peaches in New Jer-

sey.
Washington, July 24.-Generally poor
condition of fruit throughout the coun-
try is announced in the agricultural de-
partment report just published. Apples
declined in condition from Il to 64.6
during June. Prospects for excellent
crops still continue in New England,
New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and
Iowo. Conditions are also poor in Ne
braska and several OF the mountain
states. In other parts of the country
the condition of the crop is far below
the average, being lowest in the At
lantic coast states, where percentages
are generally below so. In the Ohio
valley and certain of the western states
not yet referred to the figures are
somewhat higher, but nowhere above
81. which is the percentage returned for
Illinois and Missouri.
The peach crop promises to be of
medium proportions. During the past
month a fall of 1873 per cent has taken
place, leaving the general average 51.8.
Good crops are expected in Delaware,
Maryland, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, In
diana, Kentucky Missouri and Kansas.
The crop has suffered. considerably in
California, as is shown by a condition
of IS, which is lower that any July con-
ditiOn in that state since 1890. In New
Jersey the fruit is falling badly. The
Connecticut and New York orchards
promise very little fruit, and in Penn
syIvania the condition is no better than
in contiguous New Jersey, standing at

Minnesota Gold Democrats.

ST Paul, July 24.-In response to a
call issued by the Democratic national
committeeman, D. w. Lawton, about
200 gold standard Democrats met here
at noon today. A committee of one
from each congressional district was
named to attend the Chicago confer
ence of gold standard Democrats. From
the committee on resolutions, F. w M.
after suitable preamble declares that
it utterly repudiates the platform
adopted at Chicago and declared that
the gold standard Democrats of Min
nesota will refuse to support the can
didates of that convention.
The resolutions favor the calling of
national convention by the anti-free
silver delegates to the Chicago con-
vention to decide on what action to
take regarding a national ticket. The
resolutions were adopted.

SIMPSONS PLEDGE.
Jerry Announces That Kansas Popu-
lists are With the South.


st. Louis, July 24-During the debate
IN the convention hall this afternoon
Jerry Simpson got the floor and Gre
ated unbounded enthusiasm among the
anti-Sewau men by declaring that Kan
saS would cast her 90 votes for a south
ern man for vice president You
don't speak for me- replied Delegate
Kelly of the Sunflower state.
wei, then" retorted Simpson, zone
OF the 81 has gone astray. But say to
the south, if you will give us the presi-
dent, we win give you the vice presi-
dent"
Judge Plowman of South Dakota. who
said he represented the only state that
had two Populist United States SEN
ators, favored the majority report. but
said South Dakota would be for a mid
ole OF the road man for vice president
if the delegation could be convinced
that it was for the best interest of the
party.
This qualification raised a storm of
jeers- At this point the previous ques-
ton was ordered, but General E. Gerry
Brown and Barney Gibbs of Texas
managed to get in two speeches under
the guise of parliamentary inquiries
The latter advocated the nomination of
a southern man for vice president and
fusion of electors.
''Will you pledge your delegation for
Bryan" asked Jerry Simpson, as kan
sas pledged her votes for southern
candidate for vice PRESIDENT"
Governor Gibbs neatly parted this in
teFrOgatory by saying that he could not
speak for the delegation. A row of ten
minutes followed on the parliamentary
status. Some very novel parliamentary
ideas were advanced. The tangle was at
last Strengthened out and the conven-
ton went back and took up the report
section by section. Another ten minutes
were consumed before the contested
section of the report was reached.

LITIGATING IT.
The Hentig- Manspeaker Suit in the
District Court.


The Hentig- Manspeaker case occu-
pied most OF yesterday in the district
court.
Some time ago the Central National
bank got judgment against F. G. Hen
tig in a sum near $4,000. w w Nam
speaker was the security on the note.
The charge is made in the suit that
Mr.. Hentig transferred some of his
property to his wife and daughter to
avoid the Judgment.
These transfers Mr.. BTanspeaker is
now asking to have set aside on those
grounds in order that Mr.. Hentig may
be compelled to yield his property to
the judgment and he may avoid the
payment of Hentig's debt
The property includes the Hentig
building at 224 Kansas avenue, lots on
Van Buren, street and about 80 acres
of land north of the river.
