Sloop, the Great Western.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, June 49,
Howard Blackburn of this city set sail

RUSSIA'S MERCHANT MARINE,
To Encourage Trafnc will Pay Canal Tolh of Merchant Marine vesssis for
 Some Years to Come.

Washington, June 21.-The Russian government. from information received by the bureau of navigation, is pre- pairing measures for the early develop ment of its merchant marine. Al though there are only R4 Russian steamships of over 2,00O tons and ot them only four are over 14 knots, the Russian government during 1898 ex- pended over $1,OOO,oO on it's sea-going steamships.
 To increase its navigation on the Pa, cific, the Russian government, for the next ten years. will pay Suez canal dues, as the Austrian government has done for some time on national mer- chant steamships.
 The restriction of the coasting trade of the empire, whether the ports arc on the Baltic or Black sea, or the Pa cifc, to Russian vessels will not af- feet appreciably American navigation as for the last two years no American vessels have entered this country for or cleared from Russia and last year only four American sailing vessels en- tered from and cleared for Russian ports on the Pacific.

AN EYE OPENER FOR CUBANs.
American Methods of Admi n isterins the Finances Entirely Unlike
 Those of spain.

Havana, June 21.-The administra. tion economica, which is charged with the disbursement of the finances oi the provisional government of Havana and the province, publishes state. ment showing that from January tc May. inclusive, the receipts were $763,. 194. and the expenses $17s,22s, the balance being cash on hand. This causes general astonishment among the Cubans and is unprecedented ir the history of Havana. Never before have the figures been published open. ly. The officials. formerly, merely made semi-ofiicial statements, which were not itemized. No two years oi the Spanish regime have yielded as much as the past five months.
 The English La Lucha, in an edi. torial based on this fact, says the Gu bans and Americans are watching the results of military rule. recognizing the immense influence which will be exerted in the future political strug gle by the present campaign and adds:
 "The greatest praise is due to ths Americans here at this evidence O. their intent to maintain methods ot the strictest honesty"

ARBITRATION ONLY IN NAME.
The Attitude of Germany only . Little In Advance of that os Some of the
 Other Powsrs.

Washington, June 2l.-Private ad. vices received here from high author. ity are to the effect that the confer. ence at The Hague probably will be redeemed nominally from failure through an agreement on an arbitra- tion project that will satisfy the ap- parently general demand on that point, but which at the same time, by carefully framed safeguards, will so narrow the field of matters that may or must go before the arbitration tri- bunal as to make it little more than arbitration in name.
 The attitude ofGermanyis said to be only little in advance of that of some of the other powers. after all. in op- position to the plans submitted and the disaffection is more general than appears on the surface. As for the other projects that were especially de sired by the Americans. such us pro lection of individual property from seizure at sea, they have all been irr"- deemably lost, according to this re port.

CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTH.
,. Polk Brown, of Georgia. Tells the 1adus- trial Com nlssisn About the De
 presrion In the South.

Washington. June a1.-Thc indus trial commission continued its inves tigation of the agricultural condition, of the south. Mir. J Polk Brown, pres ident of the Agricultural Society oi Georgia. was the first witness. H, agreed with Mir. Barrett. who testified Monday, that the condition of agri culture in the south wns more de. pressed than it had ever been. Mo,s people were blowing barefooted and b;.rebacked than ever before. Fl. agreed with the late Henry Grady that the fault was not with the SO; or the climate, nor. as many hal claimed, was it entirely with the tariff. One of the most prolific causes c! the trouble was in the fact that cot ton was practically the only crop. An other cause. he asserted. was that th, education was not sufficiently prac tical. It should teach people to dc manual labor. So far as the colored race was concerned. there was nc opening for them in the trades or tn, professions.
 Mir. Brown dwelt on the presen.. of the negro as the special cause oi the want of development of the sout" lie regarded him as retarding the in. dustrious. moral, religious, social and agricultural development of the sec ton. and he felt that if they were absent a better claas of labor would take their place. Tls more the negro was paid the less ef fioient he was as laborer. Mir. Browr wanted the race separated from ths whites, and colonized either in this country or elsewhere. in the interes- of the southern staes. But the race is non-progressive, and indisposed tr adopt new methods and new devices l he great obstacle in the way of ttc development of the manufacturing in. tersts was the want of money.
 Mir. Brown advocated diversified crops. recommending that each com nrnity should raise sufficient of every thing to meet it's own demands.

Crop summary.

Following is a general summary of the weekly crop bulletin, issued from the Little Rock weather bureau, for the week ending June 2Oth:
 Showers during the week retarded the progress of harvesting and cultivation of crops in many localities. Harvesting of wheat and oats is progressing in all sections. being nearly completed in some districts. The yield is reported good in some sections; in others it is fair to poor. Late corn is being injured to agreat extent by cut worms. Early is now in silk and tassel in some places. Cotton is coming to better stand than was expected, and is in good condition in some sections, while in others it is very grassy, owing to wet weather and scarcity of farm hands. The cool nights during the latter part of the week have retarded the growth of corn and cotton. fotatoes are good in some places; in others the yield is fair to poor. In some sections where wet weather had prevail ed they are rotting in the ground. Fruits of all kinds will be scarce. Melons are late.

The Proposed Car Exhibit.

The proposition to advertise Arkan- 'as in the same way as has has been lone for California for years past, is to furnish these cars, both inside and out, with Arkansas products, the panels on the outside being made of woods, marble and other material found in the state. The interior will be lined and decorated on each side with native material, fashioned and finished at the shops of the railway company at Barring c. oss, and the shelves and recesses filled with samples of all kinds, embracing everything pertaining to Arkansas. There will be two cars, equipped with musical attractions, etc, all under the management of one who has had yearr Of experience, and who pays all ex- penses for three years. The effort can not fail to secure grand results for the state. It will let Arkansas be known where she is now little thought of, and her great advantages brought to the attention of throusands in . most im- pressive way. To do all this it will re- quire but small effort on the part of her citizens by subscribing for one or more shares of stock at @ each, giving them vote and a voice in the organ ization which has been legally estab- ilshed as stock company for the whole state. w. w.
