Col. l.. V. Baughman, who was
the proxy of Senator A. p. Cor.

Chicago yesterday, in a publish.
ed interview Tuesday, said:

Condition Of the Cereal and
Grass Crops.

Wheat threshing made good
progress, although interrupted to
some extent by rain. In the west
ern counties much of the wheat
is still i'll shock where the harvest
was late, but considering the sec
ton as a whole very little thresh
ing remains to be done. The fur.

not change previous statements.
In the southern and eastern coun.
ties some following for next sea,
sons wheat crop has commenced.
Oats are maturing in the western
counties; some have been cut in
Carroll, while farther east and
south the harvest is well under
way. and in some districts com.
pleted. Good yields are the gen.
eral report. Haymaking has pro.
crossed as the weather allowed:
the yields have been heavy over
the greater part of Western Mary,
land, but elsewhere a light crop
has been the rule. Corn has
made rapid development during
the week, having been aided
greatly by the rains, although
growth was slightly checked by
cool nights in the western coun.
ties. The fields are in tassel in
many districts and some of the
early corn is showing silk. The
present condition of the crop is
highly favorable and good yields
will follow if suitable weather
conditions prevail. From now
on, until the ear is well formed,
the corn crop will need warm
weather and frequent rains. Pas.
lures had not had sufficient rain
during much of the summer and
are now short, although they
have improved somewhat during
the week.

To Break Censorship at Manila.

At last it seems possible that an.

lie read in the newspapers by the
American people, instead of, as hereto
fore, garbed and censored dispatches

ing ideas of what is actually occurring
in that far distant colony Of ours.
Things have come to such a pass that
the correspondents of the various
American newspapers stationed there
