their two years residence in Extra.
The past week was somewhat
cooler than usual, the daily mean
temperature being from two to four
degrees below the normal. 1t was
generally dry the latter part of the
week, and favorable for threshing
and stacking, and good progress
III securing the grain crops.
Corn has made fair progress,
though the nights have been too
cool for it's rapid growth. Generally
the crop is more advanced than at
the corresponding date last year;
but in all stages of growth from
the silk to roasting ears. In many
early planted fields these differ
ences are noted in the develope-
nent of ears, resulting from the re-
viving influence of the rains fol-
lowing the drouth.
In response to the inquiries as to
the date when the corn crop will be
safe from the frost, quite variable
opinions are given by crop report
ers. The condition of the crop is
variable, resultins from local differ
ences as to time Of planting and the
weather conditions during the peri
Cd of cultivation and growth. The
average opinion seems to indicate
that the more advanced corn will
be fairly we'll matured by Septem-
Der 10Th; the larger part of the crop

OUR TRADE
WITH FRANCE
Negotiations Successfully
Carried On.
WEST WILL BE THE GAMER
WEST WILL BE THE GAMER
Treaty Serves TO Strengthen the
Ties OF Friendship.
BENEFITS GAINED BY FRANCE.

Washington. May S1.--The United
States and France have concluded the
first commercial agreement entered into
under section third of the Dingley tariff
law. The negotiations have been pend
ing for the last eight months and after
many vicissitudes were concluded on
Saturday last, when Ambassador Cam
bon, In behalf of France, and John A.
Kasson, reciprocity commissioners for the
United States. affixsd their signatures
to the formal agreement.
1t makes important changes In the
tariff rates on number of articles con-
etituting the chief trade between this
country and France. The particular ad-
vantages secured by the United States
are on meat products and lard COM
pounds, France ucing her rates one
half on meat products and about one
third on lard compounds. The chief
benefits to France are in reduction in
rates on brandies. stilfed wines, ver-
mouth and works Of art. There is no re-
duction in the rate on champagnes, al
though the DinSiey law contemplated a
reciprocity reduction on champsgnes In
case mutual concessions were given.

THE CUTTING
OF THE CABLES

Key West May 3l.-Some day after the
epoch of eagerness for latest news of the
war has passed. somebody will tell the
true story OF the cutting Of the cable at
Cienfuegos. And when that story Is told
people will understand more clearly than
they understand today what sort OF stuff
Uncle Sans navy is made Of. 1t was .
theme for Victor Hugo or picture for
Meissonier that three hours OF heroism,
determination and death in the bay of
Cienfuegos that bright May morning.
The men knew that death awaited them.
They knew when the small boats were
lowered from the ships and they pulled
toward the shore that while they worked
a thousand Spaniards we're concealed In
the tall grass and the underbrush on the
shore awaiting to shower bullets upon
them. The lookouts from the masts knew
this. The officers knew 1t, the men knew
1t. but the order to cut the cable had been
given and the command was obeyed.
Small sections Of the cable which these
bravo seamen cut that morning are much
sought as souvenirs at Key West hotels
since the warships brought the dead and
wounded after the work was done.

The conclusion of the agreement is a
source OF general congratulation among
the officials of the state department and
OF the French embassy. Several reci-
procity negotiations have been in prog
ress and II was thought those with
Great Britain were likely to be con-
cluded first. II was matter of no little
surprise that the arrangement was con-
cluded at the present time when the war
emergency compelled this government
to look for every possible source of rev.
enues when there was a concentration
of official attention on matters relating
TO the war.
Aside from tariff changes made by the
new agreement the convention is re-
garded as significant in showing the
good will existing between the United
States and France. In Official circles
there never has been any question as to
the continued cordiality between .he
two countries, but In unofisial quarters
there have been reports Of friction. 1t
Is believed that the agreement will serve
to dispel misapprehensisn al 20 the sat-
isfactory relations between the two gov
ernments. and that IL will be quite as
beneficial I'm increasing the good will be-
tween the two republics as the trade.
The benefit of the French minimum tariff
which is granted to various products Of
the soil and industry of the United States
Is especially advantageous to western
Industries. including the large meat
packing industries of Chicago. Kansas
City. Omaha and st. Louis. AS result
OF these concessions, II is believed among
officials that the agreement will have a
beneficial influence In increasing the in
terest and cooperation OF the west and
the country In general in the French ex-
position In 1900.
