potatoes and corn are very promising.
Apples will be light, and the cranberry
crop is In doubt. The bloom which was
full, In many boys abundant, has been
greatly injured by fire worms.
Maine-Rain Is needed in Lincoln
Waldo and Washington counties. In
the latter county there will be a fine
crop of apples, while the reverse will
be true of Oxford. There are reports OF
injury to potatoes, but the crops are
satisfactory on the whole.
New ampshire-Drought is felt in

apples throughout the state.
Vermont-Early potatoes are rusting

the court was that he should be given

The court martial recommended that
even this sentence should be mitigated,
but the secretary Of the navy would not
consent to this. There was, of course
the plea Of great provocation to consid-

very beneficial move for the sick was
effected Monday by taking all fever pa

them to Fort Thomas, KY, where they
will have better care and the climate will
be more conducive to recovery. Eight
men from the First Vermont regiment
are among this number which leaves.
Place and Leach OF Co. B are both too
sick to be moved and are in a critical
condition. Sunday mornings report
shows sc sick in the hospital and quar-
tiers OF the regiment and excused from
duty by surgeons. This does not include
large number feeling indisposed and on
light duty. 1t is rumored that the camp
is to be moved soon for sanitary pur-
poses, and while this is unofficial, it is
certainly hoped that it is true, for after
the men have slept on the same spot of
ground Tor two months it becomes i'm
pure and unhealthy. and if the regiment
is to stay there till fall and take part in
the siege OF Havana, as it appears now,
1t would be well to spend the next two

The Texas has been rather unfortunate
in her history, so much so indeed that
the sailors, inclined to be supersti-
tious as they are, believe that she is
hoodooed. They entertained the same be-
lief about the Maine, which had met
with series Of accidents before the
final catastrophe in Havana harbor
About two months ago the Texas was
placed in the drydock in Brooklyn for
repairs in consequence of slighs injuries
she sustained by running ashore. While
in the drydock one of the caissons gave
way with the result that the sides of the
Texas were torn and her superstructure
partially damaged. The full extent of
the injury it is impossible to ascertain,
but after undergoing repairs she is said
by the naval authorities to be as sound
as ever.

proclaimed Emperor of Germany at
Versailles, January IS, 1871; and he
soon afterward promoted Count Bis
ma-ck, as the originator of the brilliant
triumphs of Germany, to the rank of
Prince with the title of Chancellor of
the German empire. Throughout the
war Bismarck was by the side of the
Emperor displaying at every step new
talents for executive and diplomatic af-
fairs.
In internal affairs his policy had in
the meanwhile gradually assumed a
more and more liberal complexion. In
1872 he took strong ground against the
doctrine of papal infallibility, caused
the expulsion of the Jesuits from Prus-
of the Roman Catholic Church to the
civil government
Prince Bismarck rendered his resig-
nation as Chancellor, March Il, 1890,
which was accepted by the young En-
peror on the following day The rupture
between the Chancellor and the EN-
peror created a profound sensation at
Berlin. The differences which led up
to the Chancellor's resignation were

made by DR.. Windthorst, the leader
of the Clerical party in Germany, to re-
store to the Duke Of Cumberland. the
claimant of the throne of Hanover. a

The Iron Chancellor Has Passed
Away.
Germany's Greatest Statesman Has Joined
the Unknown.
His Death Causes Surprise in
Europe, the Bulletins OF His
Physician Leading the Pubic
to Believe That His Condition
Was Improving.

BERLIN. July 30.-Prince Bismarck
died shortly before II o'clock tonight.
Details of the death of Prince Bismarck
are obtained with difficulty, because of
the lateness of the hour, the Isolation
Of the castle and the strenuous endeaV-
ors Of the attendants Of the family TO
prevent publicity being given to what
they consider private details.
The death of the eX-Cnancellor comes
as a surprise to all Europe. Despite the
family's denials, there was an under
current of apprehension when the sink
ing of the Prince was first announced,
inspired more by what the family left
unpublished than by any information
given But when the daily bulletins
chronicled improvement in the Princes
condition, detailed his extensive bills OF
fare and his devotion to his pipe, the
public accepted DR.. SchWeninger as
sertion that there was no reason why
Bismarck should not reach the age OF
ninety.
The reports were deemed to be a repe-
tition of the alarm that Prince Bis
marck was in eXtremis, which had been
oft repeated in the past. All of the
Saturday papers in Europe dismissed
Bismarck with a paragraph, nothing
important, while his condition was COM
pletely overshadowed in the English
papers by the Prince of Wales coldi-
ton.
1t appears that the ex-Chancellor's
death was not precipitated by sudden
complications, but was rather the cul
mination of chronic disease, neuralgia
OF the face and inflammation of the
veins which kent him N cOOStan n
and was borne with the iron torti-
tude which might have been expected.
The beginning of the end dates from
July 10th, when the Prince was con-
fined TO his bed. He had been several
days prostrated before an inkling Of his
decline reached the world.
On Friday DR.. Schweninger said: For
the past nine days l have hardly chang
ed my clothes, having travelled nearly
all the time between Berlin and Fried
richsruhe. as You may notice by ay
shabby velvet jacket
He then declared that his patients
lungs, stomach and kidneys were
sound; in fact, that his whole gigantic
frame was sound. AS yet" said DR..
Schweninger, there is no calci1cation
Of the blood vessels, but the pains in
his face and legs worry him and shorten
his sleep"
Dr.. Schweninger added this verdict:
Wits his extraordinary robust nature
he may, excluding complications, reach
ninety"
During DR.. Schweninger's brief alb
sence from Freidrichsruhe, DIR. Chrys-
ander was in constant attendance upon
the patient

tremely low on Wednesday, he so rallied
