LONDON, Oct. 2s-Al,hough nothing has
transpired regarding the deliberations Of
the cablne, council yesterday, the Times
says it may be taken for granted tnat the
decisions reached are In fun agreement
with the policy formulated in the recently
published blue book.
The Daily Mail understands that an ar
rangement has been arrived al which re-
moves all danger OF friction with France.
Judging from the tone Of the papers in
general. whose editorials are seemingly in
spired. the cabinet has decided that there
can be no question Of any concession in
the nature Of an outlet u the Nile for
France. The whole valley of the Nile
must be restored 10 Egypt. though freedom
in trading facilities will naturally be
granted TO France as 10 the world gener-
ally.

I have sought in vain to find any al

recently issued by the state officers, to
this most remarkable loss. And yet
the state officials would not hide such
a little thing as the loss OF $4,000 from
the people. They are all honorable
men. But why is 1t not shown in the
remarkable financial statements OF the
fusionists, which shows "cash On hand"
when $4,000 of the amount so shown
has been lost in broken bank?
When Mr.. Young was elected state

OLYMPIA, Oct 27.-One OF the we'll
guarded secrets OF the fusion state ad-
ministration has been wrested from its
hiding place. The searchlight of inves-
tigation today disclosed the fact that
$4,000 Of the states money was lost by
bank failure nearly year and half
ago. Evidently for the purpose Of
keeping this loss from the public dur
ing the present campaign. no active
legal steps have been taken by State
Treasurer Young or his counsel, Assist
ant Attorney General Vance, to recover
this money from the broken bank or
the men behind it, and the $4,000, paid
in by honest taxpayers fully seventeen
months ago. is lost to the state, while

were kept busy keeping eight or ten
thousand men quiet.
The pay for the month of June will
probably reach the regiment soon af-
ter July l. Thursday noon less than
half the company responded to mess
call, the others being down town en-
gagged in an effort to get a square
meal.
Private Fred Morrill,, after a stay
of % days in the division hospital,
was discharged Wednesday morning.
He drove into Co. G. street in an am
bulance and was warmly welcomed by
almost every member of the company.
He is looking rather attenuated but
is doing well. He has been so weak
ened by his long illness that he will
be unable to stand the diet and drill
Of army life for some time. Major
Evans has assured him that he will
be given a leave of absence and given
d chance to recuperate in Madison.
Some of the boys of company G are
beginning to suffer from the effects
of vaccination. Private Cullinane is
probably suffering the most from this
cause, although Sargeants Matson
and Check and Privates Lacy, Cum
ningham and Stockett have arms that
are decidedly uncomfortable.
The Beloit company had rather
unfortunate experience one night.
During the afternoon and night every
man in the company except three was

cramps in the stomach and exhibiting
symptoms of poisoning. Several men
suffered most intensely and were par

only three men fit for duty in the
morning, two of whom had not been
in quarters nor eaten at company
mess. The company was unable to
furnish it's detail for guard duty and
had no drill work that day. No
canned food had been eaten and the
food was the usual articles cooked
in the usual cooking utensils. Sam
pies of the food were analysed but the
cause of the poisoning has not been
found out.

THE AGRARIANS LOSE
GERMANY RETURNS BIG MtJCH-
ITI AGAINST THEM.

Emperor William Indignant at
the Socialist Gains-Government
REFRESHING Extremists.

Berlin, June 26.-The elections in
Germany resulted in Wholesale
defeat for agrarianism. While the
successful conservatives, national lib
erals and Centrists are pledged to
agrarianism, the agrarian strength in
the new reichstag will certainly not
exceed 100. This is insufficient to ex-
ercise a controlling influence on the
deliberations of the body. This fact
is important to the United States, as
the agrarian program was outspoken
in hostility to American interests.
The emperor is very indignant at
the socialist gains, and has expressed
himself strongly, remarking: TT is
time to stop persuasion and try more
drastic measures, or those fellows
will destroy us all. But later returns
will probably mollify the powers that
be. Nevertheless, the government and
particularly the emperor are not dis
posed to offer any compromise to So

WEEKLY CROP REPORT
Rainfall Decreased but Vegetation in
Excellent Condition

A heavy rain set in early Friday
morning and continued throughout the
greater part of the forenoon. 1t will
prove of great benefit to vegetation.
The weekly crop bulletin says the aver
age precipitation for the state during
the past week was much less than
during the week Immediately preced-
ing, except in the southwestern coun-
ties, where the total rainfall for the
week generally exceeded 2 inches, the
greater portion of which fell in heavy
showers on the 14th. Considerable
washing resulted from these rains on
light soil and hillside lands, and
crops, especially clover, which is very
heavy and nearly ready for harvest
ing, were badly beaten down in some
localities. The weather was decided
~ cool during the early part Of the
week and light frosts occurred on the
morning on the 14th at many points
in the western and northern counties,
but with comparatively slight damage
The latter part Of the week was much
warmer, the maximum temperature on
the 18th, 18th and 18th reaching 80 de-
grees in many portions of the state

ress during the week. The cultivation

half-mile run and bicycle race. F.
Jarvis of Princeton won the 1O0-yard
race from Maybury, Rush and Long.
Wefers did not start The 220-yard
run was won by Maybury. The quar-
ter-mile run was regarded by many
to be dead heat between Jarvis and
Long. The latter was placed first by
the judges. He fell exhausted after
the race. The half-mfle run was won
by Burke, beating Marvel by five yards.
By whining this race burke Demon
strated h.S right to the title of the best
middle-distance runner in the country.
j. F. Creegan won the mile run. AS
expected, Kraenzlein won both of the
hurdle races with ease. The mile
walk was won by w. B. Betterman,
Jr., while the mile bicycle race was
taken by Earl Peabody. In the run
ming high jump Meyer of Princeton
was first. Clapp of Yale won the pole
vault at ten feet and nine inches. The
mile relay race was won by the New

some fears are expressed that the eX-
ceedingly rank growth of straw will
be detrimental to the yield of grain,
The setting of tobacco plants is near
ly completed and the abundance of
moisture in the soil has given them
an excellent start. The strawberry
crop is very large and of excellent
quality. Cherries are ripe, and the
crop is good. Other fruits promise
well. Pastures are unusually good.
In the northern section the weather
during the past week has been gen.
orally favorable for all crops. Some
farmers are planting late potatoes.
Corn is large enough for cultivation
and has generally come up well, es-
pecially on high lands. Grass, and
especially clover, is the best for many
years in this section. Some clover
will be cut next week. All crops are
growing well. In the middle section
winter wheat is beginning to turn
yellow. Corn is growing rapidly and
promises to be a large crop. Early
potatoes are beginning to blossom
The harvesting of clover has begun
and the crop is very heavy. A light
hailstorm occurred on the 18th but no
serious damage resulted. In the
southern section gentle rains and cool
weather prevailed the first half of the
week, greatly benefitting all crops ex-
cept corn, which, however, is fully as
far advanced as usual at this season.
The color and stand are good Straw
berries and cherries are ripe and very
plentiful. Haying has begun and on
uplands the crop is very heavy. Bar
ley is beginning to head out and pas
lures are unusually good

Milwaukee, June 24.-On account
of the Oshkosh riot the troops here
were modified at the armory last
night and sent on an early train this
morning to the seat of the trouble.
Two riot calls summoned the troops.
In addition to the ringing of the fire

waited for workmen endeayoring Is

powerless to disperse the mob and not
a man was allowed to enter the fac
tory, even the proprietors being driven
back by threats of violence. Non
union laborers were singled out and
chased for blocks, a number of them
being struck by stones and eggs. As
a consequence the plant was order
closed. Chief Of Police Weisbrod has
notified Mayor fdeson that he is un
able to control the riotous strikers anC
the mayor has called on Sheriff Lam

trouble was started by a Waterman a
