ENGLAND has created a sensation among the Powers. Itis announced that the British Government has issued an official declaration to the effect that she will abandon the concert of the Powers if Turkey is allowed to remain in Thessaly until Greece pays the demanded indem- nifty. This declaration has discon- certed the Powers and augurs more favorably for Greece.

THAT the average legislature is better equipped for the enactment of bad than good legislation, is evidenced by the fact that Gov. Griggs, of New Jersey, on Tuesday last approved fourteen bills passed by the legislature and vetoed eighty-seven, and yet the news papers of the Eastern States are much given to sneering at what they are pleased to term the idiotic statesmanship of the woody Vest New Orleans States.

SENATOR sPENRosE, of Pennsyl. vania, does not believe in paying for a thing twice, and therefore he re- fuses to tip" the Washington hotel walters, in consequence of which the latter have held meeting and ''resoluted" against the Senator. MT. Penrose has taken the stand that he does not intend to pay the hotel man foishis meal and the waiter too. In this the Pennsylyania Sen ator displays his practical sense. The custom of tipping walters now so prevalent should be boycotted.

The war kept Lincoln in Washington
winter and summer. The insufferably hot
days he spent in cottage on the grounds
Of the Soldiers Home, on the outskirts of
the city, but prolonged stay at any place
distant from the capital was out of the
question.
The first hot weather during Gen.
Grants term was always the signal for n
family move to Long Branch, where the
admirable roads gave him n splendid
chance tD enjoy his favorite sport, that
of driving a pair of fast horses. The
ocean. ON which his house fronted, also
gave him immense pleasure. Like Bu-
chanaII, his political adversaries took ad-
vantage of his prolonged stays ut his sum
mer home and charged him with all kinds
of misdemeanors in regard to his duty to
the nation.
President Hayes consumed his summers
in touring the country on the finest trains
that had ever been seen UP to those times.
In the summer Of 1877 he journeyed
through New England i'm vain effort to
subduc the feeling which had been arous-
cd by the events of the election the pre-
vious year. From New England Mr..
Hayes went to the Middle States and
then TO the South rs far us Atlanta. Com
ing back, he stopped at all of the mpor-
tant towns before reaching Washington.
Strangely enough the Southern people
were more cordial to him than those OF
the North, and the pleasantest part of the
trip was the Southern end OF it. Succeed
ing summers for the most part were spent
by Mr. Hayes in travelling to different sec
tions of the country to open State fairs,
preside nj monument dedications and sim
liar functions. In this respect he was the
record President.

same carriage that he used in his New
England trip.
John Adams spent much of his time on
the road between his Quincy home and
Philadelphia. As soon as Congress ad-
journed he would get into his carriage,
and the long journey would be made in
very fast time for those days. In 1T99,
when President Adams was summering
at Quincy. yellow fever became epidemic
in Philadelphia, and the capital was re-
moved tempo rarily to Trenton. Urgent
public business made it necessary to re-
call the President, but it was good
week before the messenger reached him,
and another week had passed before the
President could reach the scene of action

the character OF the winter months may
be easily imagined.
In the interior of Alaska the winter sets
in as early as September. when snow
storms may be expected in the mountains
and passes. Headway during one of those
storms is impossible and the traveller who
is overtakcn by one of them is indeed for
tunate if he escapes with his life. Snow
storms of great severity occur in any
month from September TO May, inclusive.

and his party eat. Secretary Porter and
his family have another. The other ia

house.
While the President is away from
Washington all public business will be
transacted, ms asual, through the White
House. \ daily packet Of mail will be
sent between Washington and Bluff
Point containing executive papers and
announcements. The President says that
he does not expect TO work much ut Bluff
Point. He says he is tired out and pro-
poses to take j good rest =,
One Of the principal diversions at Bluf
Point, aside from bathing and boating,
is to fish. and, although Mr.. Mckinley is
not the luckiest man in the world when
il comes TO fishing, he occasionally tries
his hand at the sport. In following the
fish as summers diversion the fresl-
dent is doing what many of the l'resi-
dents of other days have done during the
heated term. In Washington's time, how
ever the President did not have much
leisure for fishing or any other pleasure.
Washington spent his first presidential
summer in touring the New England
States and healing the many political
diiisensions which existed at that time.

WEATHER BUREAU REPORT.
Crop Conditions Generally Shown to
BE Favorable.

Be Favorable.
The following bulletin, based on the re-
ports of the directors of the several eli
mate and crop sections for the week, is
furnished by the Department of Agri-
culture:
In the States of the central valleys and In
the Atlantic coast and east gulf districts the
week has been generally favorable for crops.
Portions Of Missouri, western Tennessee,
Mississippi and Kentucky have, however,
suffered from drought, and the excessive
heat during the first Of the week proved
injurious over portions of the east central
gulf States. In the west gulf States the
week has been very unfayorable, being ex-
cessively warm and dry. On the Pacific
coast the conditions have been very favora-
Oregon.
Corn has continued to make favorable pro-
gress In the principal corn States, and while
recent rains have proved beneficial In Ne
braska and Kansas, the reports indicate that
the crop has been permanently injured In
portions of these States. Ii is estimated
that the bulk Of the corn crop Will be safe
from injury by frost by Sept. 10, and that
the late planted will be safe by Oct. l.
Except over portions of North Carolina,
Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma, where cotton has made fair pro-
gress, the past week has not been favorable
to this staple. Complaints OF shedding are
general over the southern portion OF the belt,
while worms and rust are reported from
soHt StcllOHS III lcAdS, lSoulslhHd al
kansas cotton on uplands is suffering serious
ly from drought. Picking is becoming gen
era over the southern and central portions
of the cotton region, and first bales were
marketed during the week in Florida, Ala
Dana, Mississippi and Arkansas.
Spring wheat harvest In the Dakotas and
Minnesota Is well advanced, but has been de-
layed by rains to some extent in South Da-
kota, where Il part of the crop, which was
overrlpe, has sustained injury. Very favor
able reports continue from Oregon and
Washington, although recent hot winds have
caused some injury In Washington.
Tobacco is generally doing well, except in
New England, where there has been too
much moisture.

Railways and steamboats, largely cover

convenient intervals all the way.
This back-door route or inside track, as
it is called, is simply the old Hudson Bay

use nearly century. A railroad official
has called attention to the route. To
travel over it passengers from Chicago
must 20 TO st. Paul and there take train
