Held by Farmers.
THE COTTON CROP OF OKLAHOMA.
Threatened Prosecution Of Bank Oficials-
An International Cotton Convention
A Bill to Put Drunkards to Farm
ing-An Anti-POisOn Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE crop
report of the department of agricul-
ture, based on returns from three indie
pendent sets of regular correspondents,
added to several thousand from mills
and elevators, all carefully combined
and weighed, relating principally to the
distribution of principal grains, the
stocks remaining on farms and
the proportions of merchantable
and understandable. All grain
in the hands of farmers, in
GLIDING amounts remaining over
from previous years, are included in
the estimates given. The corn on hand
as estimated aggregates 1,l64,OOO, 200
bushels or 81 per cent. of the last crop
report, against 1,O72,OO0,0O0 bushels in
March, 1895. Both the proportion and
the quantity in original hands at this
date was unprecedented, although
closely approached last year and in
March, 1890. Correspondents report
large stocks in cribs, particularly in
the prairie states, awaiting better
prices. The aggregate sold from
farms to go beyond county lines
Is esS, 900, 900 bushels, or 1873 per cent.
of the crop. The proportion mer-
charitable is 1886, 100000 bushels, or
s4.s per cent. The wheat reserve in
farmers hands amounts to 2O.6 per
cent. of the crop, or ss,OOO,OOO bushels,
against 1913, 100000 bushels last March.
OF this amount per cent is reported
as coming over from previous crops.
The proportion Of wheat sold out
side the county is 5l.7 per cent
OF oats there are 313, 10000 bushels, or
44.o per cent. of the 1896 crop yet in
farmers hands. Proportion shipped
beyond county lines, 81 per cent.
THE COTTON CROP IN OKLAHOMA.
GUTHRIE, Ok, March 1l.-Oklahoma
will raise large crop Of cotton this
year, and the indications are that the
coming season will mark an unparal-
leled Industrial advance in that new
domain. Last year the Oklahoma cot
ton crop reached respectable proper
lions and demonstrated the adaptable
ity Of King Cotton to that soil and eli
mate. In the country surrounding
Guthrie, Oklahoma City, Ell Reno and
Shawnee, as we'll as in many portions
of the strip, great deal Of cotton was
raised. The total number Of bales Of
cotton raised in Oklahoma last year
was about $4,000.

Mexican Government Asked to Prevent the

CITY OF MEXICO, March ll.-Popular
interest Is intense as to the reply the
government will make to the request
Of the Spanish minister that the au-
thOrities interfere to prevent further
collection Of funds for Cuban patriots.
Spaniards claim and exercise the right
TO raise money for their soldiers, and
yet they deny similar right to
the Mexican people. The tone OF
the press is changing most signiA.

government will, in dignihed hut
firm manner, express its opinion that
Mexican citizens have in every legiti-

TARIFF SCHEDULES.
Sugar and Wool Considered Re-

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE repub-

committee yesterday finished their
work on the sugar schedule and took

they came to no definite decision, but
the points in the sugar schedule which
had been reserved until yesterday were
decided. The differential was fixed at
one-eighth OF cent per pound on SUI

was thought to be q sufficient allow
ance to cover the difference between

States and other countries where sugar

was agreed upon. 1t is in the form Of

The wool schedule promises to be
the most difficult which the committee
has to fix between the growers and
manufacturers. When the Mckinley
bill was framed schedule was prac-
tically agreed upon by the representa-
tives of the two interests, which sim
plified the work Of the committee.
Since that time the sheep raisers have
declared that the manufacturers got
the best OF the agreement, and al
though conferences between the two
bodies were held recently, they came
to nothing. The Wool Growers asso-
citation has asked for duties much
larger than those in the Mckinley law
After the wool schedule, parts of the
