Discussion in Washington of the Ha-

there with and its probable effect includes
a revival of the chatter about Secretary
Sherman's withdrawal from the cabinet.
This new story, which, IA Washington
correspondent says, is thought to be UNI
founded as any of those which preceded
it, is hinged upon the assumption uhat
the Secretary's pride has been SO hum
bled by signing treaty which is IN direct
contradiction to his settled theories about
the danger of territorial acquisition, that
he will retire from the premiership. Sem
ator Sherman, during the latter days or
the Fifty-fourth Congress, when CUBA
was under discussion, took occasion 10
reiterate his previously expressed antag-
onism to the further addition to our terri
tory, stating that in his opinion it would
be the prudent and safe course Tor thls'
country to attend strictly to its own busl-
ness, and not attempt to possess ltselr OK
outlying territory, which might involve
us in serious and unnecessary compllca-
tons with other nations. This statement
is being talked about great deal, but
very few of the Secretary's old colleagues
in the Senate believe he will Withdraw
from the cabinet To the talk that Secre-
tary Sherman will soon resign reply Is
made by those who know him best that
if he had intended to retire for the rea-
sons suggested he would have done so
beforehand, and left the signing of the

Favoring Weather Conditions and
Everything Growing Rapidly.
The following bulletin, based on the
reports of the directors of the several
climate and crop sections, is furnished
for the information of the public:
The weather conditions of the week have
been generally favorable to agricultural in
terests over the greater portion of the
country. There has been too much rain,
however, in New England and the northern
where it has also been rather COOL while
over portions of the lower Ohio valley west

areas rains would also prove generally bsne-
and Central Gulf States. The latter part
Of the week was particularly fayora6lee , IN
souri, valleys. In Nebraska the week was
the most favorable of the season. Corn
while generally backward, has made good
progress in the principal corn States under
the favorable weather conditions of the past
week. A marked Improvement in the con-
dition Of the crop is reported from Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Nebraska, and generally
throughout the central valleys Improvement
is reported. Cold weather and frosts Of pre-
viOuS weeks have caused serious injury in
Wisconsin. Minnesota and North Dakota,
and the unreasonable cool weather of the
past week in New England and the northern
portions Of the middle Atlantic States and
upper ONO valley has retarded the progress
of corn. In these last named districts the
crop Is backward and the plant looks yellow,
while considerable rotting in the hill is re-
ported from New England. There has been
a general improvement in the condition Of
cotton throughout the cotton belt, the i'm
provement being most marked in South Car
DINA and Georgia. The crop is generally
clean and insects less numerous. In Texas
the crop needs warm. dry weather over the
northern portions of the State, where growth
has been slow and some replanting contin-
ues, while showers would prove beneficial in
other sections of the State. Winter wheat
has, except on the Pacific coast continued

diamond King a Suicide,

Barney Barnato is dead. The famous
Kafir king committed suicide by jump
ing into the ocean. The startling news
was received at London late Monday
night from Funchal, Madeira Islands,
that Balnato had plunged from the
steamship Scot into the Atlantic. A half
gale was blowing at the time, and though
boat was at once launched in an at
tempt to rescue the suicide the effort
proved futile. The body, however, was
recovered after prolonged search. Bar
nato was supposed to be the richest man
in the world; but of late years he had suf-
fered tremendous losses, and the Trans
vaal raid made a huge hole in his estate.

Hold Up b. s., y. Train.
An attempt was made late Wednesday
night to hold up a Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern passenger train near Salem,
Ill. The attempt failed through the weak

the sheriff of the gangs plans. With a
posse the sheriff went to the scene of the
ho,d-up before train time. He found the
track piled high with timbers. At the
appearance of the posse the gang scatter
ed, and most of them escaped, though fired
upon by the sheriff and his officers. One
of the robbers was shot and captured.
