CROP CONDITIONS.
Light Frosts Have Occurred In Idaho
and Montana


The Weather Bureau at Washington. In its
report OF crop conditions, says: In tho
Southern States the week has been very un-
favorable owing to tho continued excessive
heat and general lack OF rain. In the States
OF the Central valleys and the northwest the
week has been very favorable for threshipp
and grain in shock and stack has sustained
further injury from excessive moisture In
New England and the Middle Atlantic States
the week has been generally favorable, not
withstanding the excessive hcat Of the early
part OF the week.
Under the excessive heat and dryness OF
the past week, tho deterioration OF cotton
has continued over the greater portion OF the
cotton belt In the Ca, oiinas, and In por-
ttons OF Louisiana and Eastern Texas. local
showers have checked deterioration. and in
portions OF Louisiana and Texas the late
crop has somewhat improved. But upon tho
whole the outlook indicates a crop much be-
low the average. Premature opening of bolls
and shedding are generally reported. Pick
ing Is now general over tho northern portion
of the cotton belt. but 1t has been retarded to
some extent by excessive heat All reports
indicate an exceptionally early crop. 1t Ia
estimated that picking will bs completed in
this will probably apply to other States. In
Texas general rain is needed for tho top
crop, but 1t could lower the grade OF the
staple.
In the Southern States corn has suffered
further injury. In Kansas some hns been cut
and in Illinois cutting will begin this week
The reports indicate that in the central val.
leys corn will be safe from frost from ten to
fourteen days earlier than usual and thut late
corn will generally be safe by September to

Light frost occurred in Eastern Idaho and

VENEZUELA
DISPUTE.
LORD SALISBURY ACKNOWL-
EDGES HE Is IN THE WRONG.
The Settled Portions OF the Disputed
Tract to Be Subjected to the Judg-
ment of the Arbitrutors.

The cable report from London that Lord
Salisbury has yielded to Secretary Olney on
the crucial point OF the Venezuela negotia-
tlons, that Of including the settled portions
ofthe disputed tract in the proposed arbitra-
tion, Is regarded rs an important develop
mcnt by those interested In the subject. This
inclusion OF the "settled districts" has been
the chief obstacle in tho way OF arbitration,
30 that IL the report OF its removal is con-
hrmed the two governments appear to be
nearer to an amicablc agreement than at any
time since the trouble began.
Lord Salisbury, from the start, has insisted
that this settled district was sovereign British
soil which could not be subjected to the judg-
ment OF arbitration. Secretary Olney has
urged that the omission Of this settled nor
ton from arbitration would defeat tho whole
scope OF the arbitration, as the unsettled cr
worthless sections, were not what Venezuela
contended for. The Inst view Of this phase
was presented In brief by Mr.. Storrow, a
lawyer OF Boston, OF whose ability Mr.. Oiney
has high opinion. The Storrow brief was
laid before the Venezuela commission rs a
part OF the Venezuela case, but aside from
this 1t is known that its line OF argument was
similar to that taken by the Secretary Of
state: Mr.. Storrow pointed out that tho
'settled district" was in fact but little settled.
that the number OF British colonists there was
comparatively insignificant; that tho their
improvements on which Lord Salisbury had
laid much stress, were Of the most mcager
and primitive kind and that tho whole money
value OF existing British settlements houses,
improve mcnts etc, would he a comparative
y small sum. From this tho conclusion was
Grawn that these so-callcd settled districts
should not stand in the way Of the adjust
merit OF so large question. There has been
no intimation that this view was shared by
the British authorities until the caulo dis
patch stating that, on wha. Ia believed to be
heinspired authority of the Bradford Obser-
vcr, the point was conceded 10y Lord Sails
bury. The further suggestion Is made that
cash payment will be made for the improve
,neht OF the British settler, in ease Venezuela
Is awarded the territory but no reference is
made as to who will puy the indemnity, al
though 1t Is construed hcre to mean that
Great Britain will molify those OF brr subjects
who are dispossesscd
