Conditions Have Been Favorable for
Late GrOwths.


Washington. Nov 1.-The climate and
crop bulletin for October, issued to-day by
the weather bureau, says:
In the districts east of the Rocky noun
tains the month of October has been Very
mild, and the first half very generally dry.
These conditions proved very favorable for
maturing and gathering late crops, but
were not favorable for blowing. fall seed
ing and termination of sown grain over t
large part of the winter wheat region
During the latter part of the month the
droughty conditions We're largely relieved,
although Iowa and portions of Eastern Ne
braska, Northern Missouri and the Central
Gulf states were suffering for rain at the
close of the month. The weather condi-
lions on the Pacific coast have been very
favorable. Under exceptionally favorable
weather conditions, cutting, husl1ing and
cribbing corn have made rapid progress.
Only a very small part of the cotton
crop remained ungathered at the close of
the month. Although the top crop has
been a very light one, the absence of frost
especially over the eastern part of the cot
ton belt, has permitted much to mature.

HOBART SOMEWHAT BETTER.
But His Condition Is Serious and the
Worst is Expected

Paterson, n. J., Nov. 1-vice President
Garrett Hobart's wonderful vitality stood
him in good stead to-day, and. notwith-
standing he took little nourshment he
was unusually bright this evening. and
asked Mrs, Hobart to read him the news
papers.
He wants TO keep up with current at
fairs, and when he awakens from sleep
he generally asks those near him if any
thing is new. To-day he showed signs of
weakening. An occasional spoonful of
brandy and milk aud a little grape juice
were given to him in the morning.
All day long crowds of people gathered
in front of the newspaper office where the
bulletins were posted. There was another
gathering of sympathetic friends about
Carroll Hall, but none except relatives
were allowed to see the patient. DR.. New
ton spends most of his time in the Hobart
house. and he is now the only physician in
attendance.
Eminent specialists are directing the
treatment through DR.. Newton.
Those who nave passed on the case are
DR.. w. W. Johnson of Washington, who
was called when Mr. Hobart was first
taken i'll in Washington, and who also vis-
tied him at Long Branch with Or. New
ton during the summer months; Drs. Jane
way and Bull, of New York, Prof. Osler
of Baltimore, and DR.. Delafeld of Column
bia University.
Telegrams and messages of sympathy
have been received as well as flowers,
from all parts of the country.
Through the trying ordeal Mrs. Hobart
bears up surprisingly well. She remains
with the nurses most of the time in the
sick room with her husband
All of the bulletins to-day were sent di-
rect TO President Mckinley who sent word
from the South on Monday to have the
news sent him as soon as possible.
AT 4 o'clock this afternoon the Vice
President was beginning TO doze just as
Mrs Hobart had finished reading the pa
pers to him. The patient was then rest
ing quietly, and the on,y thing feared by
the physicians was an attack like that on
Tuesday morning. It is feared he may go
off in one of them, because he is becoming
weaker as the time goes on.
Mr. Hobart continued to rest easily to-
night, and a comfortable night is antici-
pated.
Mrs. Hobart tonight sent the following
telegram to President Mckinley:
Mr. Hobart passed restful day and
evening He sends love to you and Mrs.
Mckinley, in which 1 join. Jennie T. Ho-
bart"
