Condition Of the Crops.

The weekly summary of crop conditions
issued by the Weather Bureau Tuesday
says:
The drouth area in the South Atlantic
States and Tennessee is greater than at the
close of the previous week, and rain is
now needed in the Ohio Valley and por-
tions of the Lake region. Phenomenally
heavy rains have fallen in Central and
Eastern Texas, where, amounts ranging
from to 81 inches are reported, causing
the inundation of large acreage of grow
ing crops.
AS in the previous week, corn has made
very favorable progress in the principal
corn States, although beginning to need
rain in Southern Missouri. The crop,
however, is backward in North Dakota,
Wisconsin and portions of Iowa. In
Texas corn has suffered serious injury
from overflows in the central and eastern
portions of the State, but has otherwise
improved.
The harvesting CT late winter wheat
has continued under favorable weather
conditions in the more northerly sections,
the early crop being mostly in shock in
the central valleys and Middle Atlantic
States Harvesting also continues III
California. In Oregon and Washington
wheat has made favorable progress, espe-
ciallv in the tirst-namcd State.
The outlook for spring wheat, as at the
close of the previous week, is promising,
and the crop is beginning to head i'll the
southern portion of the spring wheat
region.
Although the oat crop is threatened
with damage from lodging in Iowa, and
is being injured by chinch bugs in Miss
our and drouth in New York, it has
made favorable progress generally in the
central northern districts.
Tobacco is suffering from drought and
insects in Kentucky and Tennessee. The
reports from other tobacco States are
generally favorable except those from
portions of the Carolinas and Virginia,
the crop being irregular in some sections
of the last named State, and sustaining
injury from worms in South Carolina.

CABINET COUNCIL CALLED.
No Excitement in British Official Circles
Over the Transvaal.


London, Sept. 20.-Summonses We're
issued late yesterday afternoon for 4
cabinet council, which, it is under
stood, will be held Friday. The lack
of all excitement in official circles
bears evidence to the deliberate man
ner in which the highest officials are
handling the crisis. Nor is ii by any
means certain that the cabinet council
will adopt extreme measures. in spite
OF the uncompromising nature of the
Boer reply. This deliberation on the
part of the government is interpreted
not only in London. but in other Eu-
ropean capitalists Il desire on the part
of Great Britain to gain time while
the transports are hurrying to Cape
Colony.
Even rumors of a movement of the
Beers across the Natal border appar-
emily fail TO excite the military author
tiles here who profess at least not to
fear such contingency for the pres
ent. In the meantime the movement
of troops proceeds. The lull in the
crisis gives opportunity for the con-
tinuance of unofficial negotiations. The
government of the Netherlands is pri-
vately eXerting its influence in favor
of pacific solution, and the same sort
of movement is supposed to be going
on between Pretoria and Cape Town
and BlOemfOntein.

CROKER TO THE WALL.
What Was Done With His Picture in n
New York District.

New York, Sept. 2O.-In the Tam
many primary in the Ninth assembly
district John c. Sheehan defeated the
Richard Croker faction by several
hundred votes.
At the Pequod club, when it became
known that Sheehan had Won his
fight, great crowd gathered, cheers
We're given necessarily. and the crowd
celebrated royalty. In the large hall
on the first floor there hung por
trait of Richard Croker. The crowd
first hooted the face of the chief, and
then somebody yelled to tear it down.
I'VE don't want him in this district"
they shouted.
The crowd nearest the wall where it
hung caught hold of the frame and
started to pull it down. Sheehan, up
stairs. heard the yelling and came
down. Don't do that" he said, we
are not pulling pictures down now"
The face on the wall didn't please the
crowd, however, and il was turned to-
ward the wall. At Mr.. Sheehan's di-
rection it was turned back again a lit
tie later, but in moment it was look
ing toward the wall again. Mr..
SheeRan received an ovation wherever
lie went in the district.

withdraws His Appeal for Revision for
That Purpose.

That Purpose.
London, Sept 20.-The Rennes cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph,
wiring at 8 O'Clock last evening, says:
There is reason to believe that Drey-
fus is already out of prison and that
with his wife. he will probably leave
Rennes tonight" This is apropoS of
the announcement at Paris yesterday
that the council of ministers had de-
termined to pardon Dreyfus after
various formalities" had been COM
piled with.
The PreSse. of Paris, last evening
said: ''Dreyfus withdrew his appeal to-
day. This was the various formal
ties mentioned in the official COM
munication as remaining To be full
filed before the pardon would be
signed. The traitor will now be set
free and be able to give lectures in
England and America on the secrets
of the iron safe in the etat major
bureauN."
At Paris the announcement did not
cause Il ilutter. 1t had been discounted
so thoroughly that when the news
boys ran through the boulevards cry
ing it there was absolutely no excite
meQt.
