A dispatch from Havana says: "All
agricultural industries are recovering with
unexpected rapidity. In most Of the prov
inces an almost average crop Of sugar will

OF lack of machinery, as we'll as the impos-

Havana to Boston for 81 800, 900 worth

DiscOuraGing Outlook in the North.
ern Part of Dakota.
Reports from the northern part of North
Dakota as to the wheat situation are most
dscouraging. In some localities less than
% per cent of the wheat has been thrash
ed. and the continued bad weather makes
the situation so much worse. In some To-
calities there was a fight on what was
deemed the excessive charge of the
thrashers. The price was not reduced and
the contest has resulted in the farmers
losing thousands of dollars to save a cent
or two per bushel. The weather has been
so bad that the harvest hands refused to
sleep in straw stacks any longer and are
leaving the country rapidly. This will re-
duce the help SO much that many of the
machines will be unable to start up even
when the weather does improve.

As the downfall of the Brisson ministry
is apparently traceable directly to the hos

to undo what has been done in that direc-

court to do anything distasteful to both
the Government and the army. For the
present army influence is superior to JUS
