HOBSON ARRIVES.
Famous Lieutenant Comes to Urge tho
Fastening of the Saving of the
Spanish Warshfps.

Washington, July 23.-One of the
most agreeable events of the day was
the arrival at the navy department of
Lieut.. Hobson, the hero of the Merri-
mac. The officials were not informed
of his approaching visit, except
through the newspapers. Consequent
ly when he reached the railway station
here at 1888 o'clock Friday afternoon
there was no official there to meet
him, and his reception was truly dem
ocratic. He succeeded in escaping OBJ
servation as he passed through the
train shed, coat and umbrella in hand,
and followed by porter proudly car
rying his bag, but before he emerged
from the station some one spied him,
a hurrah went up from one throat by
him, and in a moment the station re-
sounded with vociferous shouting.
The cry of "Hobson, Hobson," rang
out and the crowd closed about him,
shaking his hand and pushing him
about until he was rescued by the po-
lice and escorted to his carriage
The officer was driven at once to the
Army and Navy club, and after brush
ing himself up he drove over to the
navy department. A large crowd had
gathered about the doorway and the
hearty welcome it gave the young of
fcer brought bushes to his cheeks.
About 5:3C o'clock Lieut.. Hobsor
went to the white house to pay his re
spects to the president. Secretary
Long accompanied him, the two walk
ing over to the executive mansion from
the navy department. The president
received them in the cabinet room. He
| gave Lieut.. Hobson a most cordia
greeting and paid a high tribute FOL
what he regarded as one of the mos
conspicuous acts of gallantry in thu
history of naval warfare. The lieuten

by the triumph at Santiago, would only
consent to peace on unequal terms,
and that therefore it is preferable TO

Crop Report.

U. S. Department of Agriculture,
Minnesota Section, Climate and Crop
Service. Weather Bureau.-The week
was dry till the morning of the 18th,
when there were scattered showers,
except in the southern part of the
state. Spring wheat has advanced rap
idly, so that it is now turning color as
far north as the center of the state.
A few correspondents are fearing that
the hot weather will cause premature
ripening, with consequent deteriora-
ton in quality, and lessened yield, but
most of them state that the filling is
going on nicely. 1t is said that in the
Red River valley the quality is not
even over large areas, which gives
patchy appearance. 1t is thought the
first cutting in the state will be from
the Goth to the 25th. Winter wheat is
all cut. A good rye crop has been Sc
cured, and fine crop of barley is now
being harvested. Oats are ripening in
the southern counties. Corn is grow
ing very rapidly. A great deal of ex-
cellent clover and timothy has been
saved in splendid condition. Haying
is about to begin in the extreme north.

I he Minnesota Academy, located at
Owatonna, a school open to all, but

boarding hall. In recognition of this
magnificent gift, the legislature

at cost of $40. 600, of a new academic
building. He also contributed S25, 600
