GOES BEGGING.
No One Wants to be Vice Presf-
dent Apparently.
Reed SCOTS at Talk Of His Nom
nation.
PROCTOR OF VERMONT
Likewise Says He Doesn't Want
the Office.
He VIII Take Steps to Prevent
His Nomination.
PROCTOR OF VERMONT

St. Louis, June 11.-Nr. Manley Of
Maine says:
In my judgment the convention win
nominate Mai. Mckinley on the first
ballot for the presidency. 1t is useless
to attempt to deny that this viii be
the result. The action of the national
committee in it's overwhelming vote
on the Alabama cases settles conclu-
sively how the respective states which
the members Of the committee repre-
sent, will vote in the convention"
Mr. Reeds name will be presented
to the convention and he viii be voted
for, and i am authorized to say that
under no conditions or circumstances
can he or viii he accept the nomination
for vice president, if it should be ten
dered him
The great majority of the New Eng
land delegates will be loyal to Mr.. Reed
but it is evident that the convention is
for Mckinley and will nominate him
While the declaration of Mr.. Manley
contained nothing that has not been
lOOksd for, for many weeks, yet it
caused a dutter of excitement when it
was known the manager of Mr.. Reed
had announced there was no further
hope among the leaders of the force Of
the man from Maine. Other supporters
Of Mr.. Reed said the declaration would
cost Mr.. Reed at least half Of the votes
that would have been cast for him had
nothing of the kind been said
Senator Proctor, who has been men
toned as candidate for vice president,
says:
II do not want to be vice president
of the United States. My name shall
not be presented for that Office before
the convention. I do not think my
name will be presented to the conven-
ton. Whenever I am satisfied that
such action is probable I shall take
steps to prevent it.
II don't know a great deal about pol
tiles. do know something about Yer
mont politics, however, and I know
that the Republicanism of my state is
five to one for Mckinley He will
surely win on the first ballot -
The Vermont senator says the Re
that nobody in the world could ever
mistake distort or argue it's meaning,
and that meaning should be unquai-
dedly for SINGLE money standard.

ton of dollars and cents standing in
the way.

AID for His Parishoners.

Boston. July 11.-Rev- Bishop John
Joseph Hennesy of Wichita, who came
to this state to make appeals for the
sufferers by drought and ruined crops

church, Harrison avenue yesterday, his
expected visitation to various Catholic
churches Of the archdiocese.

New Hampshire, and that the 1000
Catholics to whom he and his II priests
ninistered, were scattered over this
section SO that q large number of mis-
siOns chapels and stations were reQuir-
ed. The people who were poor had been
made still poorer by the drought, which
during the past three years, had al
most ruined the crops, especially that
Of wheat
To give an idea of the poverty in
his diocese, he said that all of his
churches together would not begin to
aggregate the value of st. James
church, and that the last collection in
the largest church amounted to only So.
A liberal response was made by the
congregation when the collections were
made.

THE CR0P CONDITION.
The Acreage has Been Reduced and
Prospects Not So Good.


Washington. June n.-Acreage Of
wheat and per centage OF areas har-
vested last year have been obtained
from greatly enlarged list OF cores
pondents, inquiries being addressed IN
particular to 10 600 OF the principal mil
lerS throughout the country to whose
careful comparison OF present acreage
with that OF previous years many cor
rectlons OF the preliminary esIlInage OF
December last, are due. There has
been some diminution Of winter area
owing to the total failure OF the crop
IN some sections, the ground being
pIoWed up for spring wheat or oats.
These returns reduce the acreage and
give for the principal winter states,
California, SOL, 600, Kansas, 2,6S4,O00;
ohio, z,422 600; Indiana ZsZS4.00O; Ilu-
nois, 1,906, 600; Missouri. 1.418, GOO Penn

Dakota, 2,463, 600; Nebraska, 1924, 600;
total spring area, II, $4,000
From Minnesota the department
agent reports much larger area than
in 1895, partly owing to the blowing up
OF fields of winter wheat and rye but
principally to the fact that farmers in
creased spring wheat area at the ex-
pense Of other crops, considering it a
better investment than oats, rye or
corn Since the May report the condi-
tons or winter wheat has fallen S.8 per
cent, that Of June being 77.9 against
S2.7 on May T.
The percentages of the principal
states: Pennsylvania. 70; Kentucky. s.;
Ohio, so; Michigan, 70; Indiana, 20; Illf-
nois, 81; Missouri 80; Kansas, IS; Cali

The conditions of spring wheat indi-
cate a prosperous yield that closely
approX1mates a full or normal crop,
the average of the country being 99.9
per cent The average for the year
1898 was 97.8. The averages for the
principal spring wheat states are as
follows: Minnesota, 90; Wisconsin, 10;
Iowa, 103; Nebraska, los; South Dako-
ia, III; North Dakota, lob; Washing
ton, So; Oregon, 50. The percentage of
the combined winter and spring wheat
acreage is 101 and the condition of all
wheat is S76
The preliminary report places the
acreage of oats at $50 per cent of last
years area, and the general condition
at SIS, against 1913 same date in 1895
The acreage of rye is $50 of last
years; condition, 85.5, against 85-7 last
June
The acreage of barley is 500 per cent
Of the area Of 1895 and its condition
stands at SO per cent.
From Europe a prevailing lack of
rain is reported. with injury to crops

Tin Bucket Brigades Of Connecticut
Going to Vote for Mckinley.
Danbury, June l1-If any doubt ex-
lists as to the complexion of the Con
necticut delegates to the Republican
national convention liz does not hang
over those coming from the western
part of the state Tt is all Mckinley.
1T is surprising how nearly unani-
nous is the sentiment in favor of the
Ohio advance agent of prosperity. One
by one those whose first preference was
for other candidates have discarded
their campaign buttons and are now
wearing the Mckinley emblem Thou
sands are worn in Danbury alone.
A significant fact in connection with
the approach of the fail campaign is
that there will be a strong Mckinley
of Democrats. That, of course, de-
ponds on the nomination of Mckinley,
which is here looked upon IS a foregOne
conclusion. Nearly $50 names have al
ready been secured or promised for
the Democratic Mckinley club
Down in Bethel, a few miles south of
here, the sentiment is even stronger
The percentage of Democrats who are
talking Mckinley is astOnishingly large
A strong Mckinley Democratic club is
promised there also.
Tt is the same in NorWalk. New Ca
naan. Ridgefield, Stamford and others
of the more important towns in this
end of the state. Even that Demo
cratic stronghold, Bridgeport, promises
two Mckinley Democratic clubs
There is no installing how western
Connecticut feels, and when the votes
are counted in November it viii be seen
that Danbury viii redeem herself and
offset that given to Cleveland four
years ago.

New York, June 11.-Senator Calvin

much sought after by those Democrats
who viii linger in the hope that an
out-and-out silver platform may not be

The contest between the gold and

Brice. The sound money Democrats

has gained in the middle states during
