Special Dispatch to TIE Evening Star
ROCKVILLE. Nd. June 29.-The water
works plant for this town. which was to
have been completed by the 1st of June,
may not be put in operation for several
months to come. The tower upon which
the supply tank is seated is from eighteen
inches to two feet out of plumb. and the
entire structure is thought to be in danger
Of falling. A stout stone Intel over the
door at the base of the tower is cracked
in two. which leads to the belief that the
tower has sunk at the foundation Water
was ilrst pumped into the tank Thursday
last. Friday the tower was discovered to
be leaning toward the south. The water
was at once removed. but ii is thought the
structure has continued to settle, and may
tcpple at any moment.
The tower. which is constructed of brick
is thirteen feet in diameter at the base and
about sixty-eight feet high. 1t is sur
mounted by steel tank thirteen feet in
diameter and fifty-two feet high, with a
capacity of $1,000 gallons. The work was
constructed by Rosso & Caste, contractors
OF Bellaire, Ohio. 1t was designed by J. p.
Morgan OF Chicago, who superintendent its
construction. The contractors disclaim any
responsibility for the collapse of the tower.
anu, as the engineer is under bond for its
proper construction, 1t is thought he will
nave TO stand the loss-between $4,000 and
$J,0o-if the amount of mis- bond will cover
IT, There is CONSERVATION among the citi-
zehs OF the town, many of whom have had
their houses fitted with complete plumbing
apparatus. in order to have water service
at the earliest possible moment 1t now
looks as If they will not be supplied this
summer. and that no steps will be taken to
rebuild the tower until the responsibility
Tor the failure of this one is determined in
the courts, as both the engineer and con-
tractors dfsclaim liability for the loss.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
The Weather Upon the Whole Has
Been Favorable.

The Weather Upon the Whole Has
Been Favorable.
The Department Of Agricultures weekly
crop bulletin, issued today, says in part:
While somewhat too cool for the best
results over the more northerly districts,
with excessive heat in the southern states,
the week has, upon the whole. been favor
able for the growth and cultivation of
crops and harvesting of grain. Local
storms have caused injury to crops In por-
tons of New Jersey. Alabama, kentucky
and Missouri, but the damage has been
comparatively light. Portions of the Ohio
valley, gulf states, western Kansas and
Colorado are needing rain.
Cotton has made rapid growth in Okla
homa and Texas, and a general improve
ment is reported elsewhere. In the CEN
trail and eastern portions of the cotton
belt, however, the reports generally indi-
cate that the plant is small and backward.
A general rail is much needed over the
central and western portions of the cotton
belt
Corn has made further improvement dur
ing the week In the principal corn states,
having made rapid growth in Illinois. Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma.
In the more northerly sections the crop has
generally improved, but continues back
ward. In the southern states the general
outlook Is less favorable than previously
reported, having been damaged by hot
winds In Texas and by drought in Arkan-
sas and in the east gulf states. Rains have
retarded cultivation in portions of Iowa,
where the crop has made fair growth, but
Its condition and the stand are variable.
Winter wheat harvest has continued I'M
der generally favorable conditions. East
CT the Mississippi harvesting is now in
progress as far north as the southern por-
lions of Illinois. Indiana and Ohio and the
crop is maturing rapidly in the more north
erly sections. Some damage has been done
by excessive rains to wheat in shock in
Missouri. Harvesting in California has
been somewhat retarded by cool weather
and showers over the northern part of the
state. Rains in Oregon and Washington
have been beneficial.
Spring wheat has generally made favor
able progress. The early sown is heading
and the reports generally indicate that the
straw is short.
Tobacco is more promising than prev:-
ously reported in Virginia, Tennessee and
Kentucky. and the crop is growing nicely
In Indiana and Maryland. Some has been
cut In Florida, and it is ripening in South
Carolina. In Georgia and New York 1t

MINISTER ANDRADE NOT INFORMED
Knows Nothing of the Reported Re-
signatiOn of the Venezuelan Ministry.

Knows Nothing of the Reported Re-
signntion of the Venezuelan Ministry.
Senior Andrade, the Venezuelan minister,
has received no confirmation of the cable
report that President Crespos ministry re-
signed yesterday. If 1t should prove to be
true, the minister thinks it will be found
that the reasons assigned are incorrect.
He says there are no differences in the
cabinet growing out of the provisions of
the Guiana boundary line arbitration
treaty.
The treaty was ratified by the unanimous
vote of the Venezuelan congress. and no
differences exist on that score. In fact.
the treaty Is now an accomplished fact.
and the tribunal to settle the dispute will
meet in Paris a year hence.
Senior Andrade thinks 1t barely possible
that the ministry may have resigned owing
to complications growing out of the gen.
eral elections. which will be held next fall
The campaign for the presidency is now
on in Yer ezuela. President Crespo, who
was the leader of the revolution of 1872,
and who was elected to the presidency OF
the republic in 1893. Is not eligible for re-
election under the constitution. The three
prominent candidates are General Andrade,
governor OF the principal state of the con-
federation. who Is a brother of the min
lister here; DR.. Castillo and General Jose
Manuel Hernandez, all liberals.
The old conservative party has been SO
disorganized since 1870 that 1t has not been
able to make a formidable showing. The
issues are largely personal, as the candi-
dates are all of one party.
Minister Andrade says that he had had
no intimAtioIfs In his recent advices from
Caracasiof differences in the cabinet. and
If the ministry has resigned he believes
that action ,Yas taken with the full con-
currencs of President Crespo.
He attaches no great importance to the
report. The minister says that the report
that heoMasfto represent his government
before tie Paris tribunal is premature. No
selection viii. be made until after the new
president is Elected and installed.
