LITTLE RocK, April 27.-The tenn perature for the week ending q. m., April 26, averaged about two degrees per day above the normal and the rainfall about twenty-two hun- dredths inch below the normal.
 The weather was perfect for farm work and farmers took full advant- age oft to push planting vigorously forward. Corn is all planted. except in the northwest section and in some of the overfiowed territory. Most of it is up to good stand and in many places has been worked over once. Cotton is all bedded and much of it planted. With fine weather, planting. except very late corn, should he com pleted by May lst.
 Apples, pears and cherries promise a fine yield. Plums and peaches are not doing so we'll
 Gardens doing well. Stock still bothered by gnats, though they are not as bad as they were.

 tn Favor Of a RepubiIc.

ATHENS, April 27.-Popular feeling points to a revolution in favor of a republic. The citizens are greatly excited at the revelations made by former Minister Ralli as to the con- duet of the campaign. Today large meetings have been held in Constitu- Eion square and other. places and fiery harangues have been delivered hy well known orators in denuneia- tion of .'those who would betray Greece" The fall of the ministry is regarded as certain.
 This afternoon 500 men formed themselves into a volunteer body, forced thelr way into the gunsmiths' shops, armed themselves " ith rifles and resolyers and paraded the street in front of NJ. Ralli's residence. Several deputies addressed them ex. horting them to remain calm and to await the progress of events Finally they resorted to the royal palace where, after making demon stration. they dispersed without disorder. The incident has made a great sensation.
