MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
Farming in Missouri


The following is a summary Of the
Missouri crop report for the week
ended June 8:
Unseasonably cool weather prevailed through
out the state in the past week, and in the north
ern part it was very drv. Good showers have
fallen in most of the central and southern coun-
ties, and in many the rainfall of the week
ranged from one to two inches In few Iocali-
ties in the southern section rain and hail.
storms did considerable damage. All crops
have been retarded by the low temperature, and
corn especially has been growing very slowly.
The fields are generally clean, and, with
warm weather and showers the crop will make
rapid advancement In quite a number of
counties, principally in the northern sections,
corn is reported a bad stand, and cut-wormS
are still very destructive in places In few
counties wheat is reported average crop,
but a rule it is far below, and in some places
will not make seed. Many correspondents state
that while it is thin the ground and the
sield will be light the grain will be of good
quality. Harvest has begun in Ripley county.
Oats promise good crop in some counties in
others only fair, and in some very well. Cotton
is doing fairly well Flax and tobacco are do
ing very well and blackberries promise good

His Speech at the Auditorium-A

Mckinley.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 11.-Tbis is
Ohio day at the exposition, and large
delegations of police, militia, members
of secret orders and general visitors
are here from Cincinnati. Toledo, Co
lumbus and Cleveland, as well as the
smaller cities.and towns of the Buckeye
state.
President Mckinley and party ar
rived at the Union depot early, having
made the trip by slow stages from
Washington. They were escorted by
the exposition executive committee to
the Maxwell house, where they took
breakfast, after which Gov. Taylor
was received. At 1890 the president
and party, accompanied by Gov. Bush
nell and his staff, were escorted to the
Centennial grounds.
The streets were lined with admiring
thousands, and as this is prominently
an educational center, a large portion
of the crowds was made up of students
of both sexes and of both races.
AS the head of the procession turned
into the main entrance of the exposi-
ton grounds a battery of artillery
doomed forth the national salute of IS
guns.
1t was within the grounds, and led
by the Centennial chimes, which rang
forth from the top of the Administra-
ton building, that the enthusiasm
reached its climax. The enthu-
siasm was shared by the visit
ors to the full, and to them
was the added incentive of the
beauty of the buildings and the
grounds which burst upon them for
the first time. Certainly Tennessee in
general and Nashville in particular,
are justified in the pride felt and ex-
pressed over the work they have ac-
complished. The buildings-the Par
thenon, particularly-are beautiful in
design and finish, and beautiful be-
yond any thing contemplated when
the exposition was in embryo, and
filed with exhibits that would be
creditable in any fair of any nation on
earth.

ARMS AND MUNITIONS.

The Government Has Information of an
Important Proposed Filibusterlng Ex-
pedittOn.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-The treasury
department has received, by reference
from the secretary of state, a communi-
cation from the Spanish minister to
the effect that he has information that
an important filibustering expedition
is being organized on the coast of
Florida, and asking that steps be taken
by the government to Illustrate it.
No particulars were given, so that
the only action that could DE taken by
the department was to communicate
this information to all collectors and
masters of patrol fleets, on the Florida
coast, with instructions to be on the
alert to prevent the departure of any
suspected expedition. This was done
to-day by telegraph.
1t developed later that the depart
ment has specific information of the
shipment of arms and ammunition for
what promises to be one of the most
important flibustering expeditions for
several months.
A carload of arms left Jacksonville
Friday morning by the Florida East
Coast railroad and passed near Smyrna,
southbound. A second carload of rifles
and dynamite left Jacksonville Satur-
day morning ON the regular freight
train a the probable purpose of be-
ing transferred to some vessel on the
east coast, probably the yacht ''valu-
sia," which has been engaged to trans
fer these munitions from the RAILWAYS
IN the vessel destined for C1ba
1t is probable that the vessel which
will receive these arms will not come
close to shore.

The new insurance laws by the last
state legislature have gone into effect.
They especially AFFECT the fraternal beneficiary
societies. Every man, woman and child in
Missouri, having insurance, whether it be life,
accident or fire, will in some way be affected by
the change. The most important Of the new
laws is that placing all fraternal societies
with beneficiary features directly under
the supervision and control of the state
insurance department. Heretofore this
class has not been subject to the in
surance laws. and were not under the control
OF the superintendent of the state insurance de-
partment. The latter estimates that there are
about 500 or 900 societies of this character do
ing business in the state. Most IF them are
sound institutions, conducted on business prin-
ciples, but many of them, he says, are f1y-by-
night concerns, doing business with the poorer
classes, the very people who ought to be pro-
tected by stringent insurance laws
