or Bureau.
The weather bureau in its report of
the crop conditions for the week end
ed August % says:
The weather conditions during the
week in the states Of the central val
leys, lake region, New England and
over the grester part OF the Gulf and
South Atlantic states have been favor
able to crops, more particularly the
important staples, corn and cotton.
The week has been marked with ex-
ceptionally low temperatures over the
greater part OF the country east OF the
Rockies, with light frosts in the lake
region and upper Mississippi valley.
Drought continues over portions OF
the Vlrginias, North Carolina, Ten
nessee, Missouri and Southwest Texas
and is beginning to be felt in portions
of Nebraska, Iowa, illinois, Indiana
and Ohio, while excessive rains have
caused damage along the Gulf and
South Atlantic coasts. On the Pacific
coast and in the Rocky mountain re
gion the week has been generally IA
vorable. although unusually warm in
Oregon and Washington.
The condition of corn in Kansas has
improved; in Nebraska it is maturing
nicely; in South Dakota it is filling
we'll In Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio, the crop, besides suffering the
effects of abnormally cool weather, is
generally needing rain.
General rains have improved cotton
in Texas, except portions of the south
ern parts of the State, where drought
continues. Cotton also needs rain in
Missouri and portions of Tennessee
and North Carolina, but over the
greater part of the contral and east
ern sections of the cotton belt the crop
has been seriously injured by exces-
sive rains, and complaints of rust and
shedding are quite general, while re-
ports of rotting and damage by worms
are qui.e numerous.
The spring wheat harvest continues
in North Minnesota and in the Da-
kotas. Harvesting has continued un-
der favorable conditions in Oregon and
Washington; it is we'll advanced in
Oregon and will be completed in
Washington in about ten days.
Tobacco cutting continues ia the
; more northerly tobacco states. The
crop in Kentucky will oe short, but in
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio 8
good crop is promised, much already
having been housed.
But little plowing for fall seeding
has been done in the states Of the cen,
trail Mississippi and lower Ohio and
Missouri valleys, but favorable pro.
gress has been made in Texas, Okla
| homa and Kansas, and generally on
the Atlantic coast, except in Virginia.

CONFESSES SEVEN MURDERS,
Remarkable Story Of Negr" In Now
Orleans.

Antonio Richard, alias Creole,
the negro arrested on the Ellington
plantation in Charles parish, q few
miles above New Orleans, charged
with the rob5ery end murder OF Louis
Zeigler, is actually staggering the au'
thorities with the extent Of his COMES
sions. Creole was the leader CT a gang
which included two other men, named
Morris and Washington, and two wo-
men, named Octavie and Lavinia AL
exander. They were arrested because
some of Zsigler's property was found
in their possession, and they were sus
pected of the murder.
Creole confessed the crime and told
how Zeigler was robbed and murdered.
Yesterday he confessed to second
murder, saying that he had killed
Charles Constantine, a peddler, who
has been missing for some time. Gro
ole told how he killed and robbed Con,
stantine aud hid the body in the
swamp. He pointed out the place C:
burial, and the remains were found
there, with proof that the body was
Constantine's, and that he had been
murder in the manner in which Gre
ole stated.
Creole renewed the confessions and
admitted five more murders. he
murdered. he said, man named Pat
terson in st. Landry, and year a.
terward a tramp at Melville, in the
same parish. They made it too bot
for him in St. Landry and he moved
to St. Charles. In 1895 he killed
negro woman at the Lone Star, the
camp near Ellington plantation,
where he was working also Alexander
Johnson, a coloreu laborer on that
plantation; also an old Spaniard OF
the name of Alexis.
The murder of Alexis, which oc'
CURED last June, caused great sen.
sation at the time, and wes attributed
to two Italians. who were said to have
killed him through business rivalry
and jealousy. The result was great
excitement in the parish. The ltal-
ians were confined in the LEGAL jail,
but we're taken therefrom and lynched
by mob which came from the neigh
boring parish of Jefferson. The
United States State department paid
damages to the Italian government on.
ly the other day for these lynched
Italians, who, Creole now declares,
were innocent, he baing the true MUIR
derer of Alexis.
Including the Zsigler and Constan-
tine crimes, he confesses in all to sew
en- murders, all being committed with
the idea of robbing his victims. In
one case the murder yielded him only
1926. Creole confessed to number
OF minor crimes. He beat and severe
ly injured a boy, knocking out his
eye, for which crime he served two
years in the penitentiary, this being
the only punishment he has ever re-
ceived. He announces that he has
other crimes to confess when he can
remember them.
There seems to be no reason for the
authorities to doubt the truth of his
confession, as he has been able to sub
stantiate and prove his crimes. II
now seems probable that the total
number of victims of this st. Charles
gang of assassins will exceed dozen,
nearly all murdered within radius oi
a few mile. The gang murdered every
one upon whom they could lay theil
hands who seemed to have money.

THE POWERS AND TURKEY.

The policy Of coercion towards the
sultan in order to establish reforms in
the government of the Turkish en-
pire, which has been favored by Aus
tria, Italy and England, is said to have
received the sanction of Germany, so
that the great powers are divided in
to two camps, Russia and satellite
France objecting to the use of force
against Turkey, while the other pow
ers are prepared to employ it as
last resort. Four out of six of the
nearest approach to European con-
cert which the nations are able to
make after all the resources of diplo-
macy have been exhausted. 1t is safe
to say that the sultan will not yield TO
the demands made upon him by the
western powers until they are back
ed by the armed strength of Russia.
And it is equally safe to predict that
England, upon whom the brunt of
hostilities would fall, will hesitate be-
fore committing herself to course
of action which would bring her into
collision with two great powers at a
time when her empire is gravely
menaced by internal dangers.

of Turkey will serve her purpose bet

ter than the preservation of the pres
ent empty shell she will join the
other powers in taking aggressive
measures. Until then she evidently
does not mean that the sultan shall
become second khedive, or that
England or Austria shall have con-
trolling influence over the lands
which she long ago marked for her
own. The concentration of Russian
troops on the shores of the Black Sea
has been going on quietly for some
time. If the new quadruple alliance

of Russia we may speedily learn the
