A Prosperous Season.

Boston, Aug. 30.-Vegetation Is re-
ported as most thrifty. Growing crops
of all kinds are vigorous and advancing
rapidly. Meadows and pastures are as
green as in June. The excessive moist
IRE and high temperature have retarded
haying and grain harvest and have
also been conducive to rot in potatoes,
beans and late grain. The damp weather
has been unfavorable to tobacco cutting
and curing and has delayed farm pur-
suits generally 1t will, however, fur
nish bountiful and excellent fall feed,
and stock will begin the winter season
in excellent condition. Flowing for fall
and winter grain Is now in progress in
sections where soil Is not too wet. Ten
days to q fortnight are needed to mature
corn, potatoes, cure tobacco, and finish,
as whole, prosperous season.
Haying is still in progress in many
sections, but for the larger part 1t Is
the second crop, or hungarian grass.
While the weather has been too wet
considerable has been accomplished, and
now the crop Is practically secured. The
crop Of rowen Is large and the quality
generally excellent. Grass and pasture
lands are in good condition, and are
thus prepared for a severe winter with
out danger of great injury.
High winds accompanying local storms
have caused more or less damage to
apples, peaches, pears and plums. Early
apples are reported quite plentiful In
many parts of the district The winter
crop is light, but generally in improved
condition. Reports are mostly unfa-
vorable to peaches, stating that in nu-
merous orchards they are prematurely
ripening and the fruit is inferior. Gran
berries are less promising on account Of
damage from sun scald and insects.
From present outlook the crop will be
less than the average yield.
Complaint of rot and rust in pota-
toes is received from all sections. New
ertheless, there seems little likelihood
of the yield or quality Of the tubers be-
ing seriously affected. The crop is be-
ing dug in many sections, especially in
the southern part Of the district. Vines
are reported in fine condition. Cucum-
bers for picking are especially abun-
dant. Tomatoes are very plentiful, but
the weather conditions have not ia
vored rlpening of the fruit. Garden
vegetables of excellent quality are still
abundant.
Tobacco continues in good condition.
Cutting and curing are in progress and
in some sections the crop Is one half
secured

Turning Point In History.

ST. Petersburg, Aug. 30.-The news
papers here declare that the cars mani
festo will probably constitute turning
point in history.
one of them says: 1T stands to reason
that the disarmament question cannot
be solved without previous removal Of
the cause for the ornaments. The con-
ference must accurately determine the
respective pretensions of the nations
and propose means for peaceful ar
rangement, and it may come to. pass
that Ut the close Of the 10th century a
liquidation may be effected of the inter-
national policies which are so prolific
in troubles and dangers"
Another remarks: "All true friends Of
peace are naturally on the side of Russia
but it is impossible to guarantee that
some of the western cabinets will not
raise objections, prompted by the fact
that the armed peace which has existed
since 1871 Is the main source Of their in
ternational strength"
President Tn Cleveland.
Cleveland, Aug. 30.-President Nc
Kinley and party arrived in Cleveland
at $40 p. m. yesterday. The presidential
party was driven directly to the resi-
dence Of Colonel Myron T. Herrick.
There was but small crowd at the sta
ton, the hour of the presidents arrival
not being generally known. The presi-
dent will probably remain In Cleveland
a week, and will visit Canton one day.
