BACK TO TIE HOLY LAND.
This lis One of the Many Who
Are Locating There.

Louisville's first practical Zionist is
Morris Weissman, who starts for Pal
estine next week to find home in
the land of his forefathers. He has
secured his passport and has made
every arrangement for the long jour-
ney.
Weissman is thoroughly convinced
that the solution of the problem Of his
people is a return to the soil. Weiss
man is a native of Odessa. He came
to America three years ago and set
tied in Louisville. During the great
er part of his stay in Louisville
Weissman has been employed by the
Bray Clothing Company. His wife
and children will remain here until
be is settled in Palestine.
Weissman expects to land at Jaffs
and then join the Rosh Happanna col
ony, which is located near Mt.Carmel.
This colony is not under the auspices
of the Jewish Colonial Bank, as the
Zionist Society is known. 1t is just
one of the many assemblages Of jews
in the Holy Land.
The Zionist Society, however, pro-
poses to unite all these old colonies
and the ones in course of organization
into the indipendency of Zion, where
the Hebrew will find haven after
all his yesrs of wandering and where
he will once more be happily settled
within sight and sound of the scenes
of the great events of HE history.

Take Notice.

To Collectors of Internal Revenue:
The act of June 13, 1898, increased
the number of,special taxpayers in this
country from 100000 TO 100000. This
large increase in the number of such
taxpayers, together with the delay in
the preparation of the special-tax
stamps necessary to accommodate
them, very materially retarded the
issue of such stamps at the begin
ming of the current fiscal year.
Arrangements have now been made
to anticipate the applications of spec
ial taxpayers for the coming fiscal
year by placing a full supply of
special-tax stamps in the hands of
each collector at an early date, not
later than June l, 1899.
Collectors will avail themselves of
every opportunity to acquaint the
public with this fact by circulars, and
through the public press, where infor-
nation on this subject may be sought
as a matter of news.
The attention of taxpayers should
be called to the fact that while it is
possible for them to delay making
returns and paying the tax through
out the month in which their business
is commenced, at the same time the
law requires that they shall have
special-tax stamps exhibited in their
places of business, and heavy penal
ties are imposed for failure to do so.
Their attention should be furthe r
called to the fact that when they de-
lay filing their applications and pay
ing the tax until the last days of June
or the first days of July they will find
q crowded and confused condition of
things in the Office of the collector
which may prevent them from re-
ceiving prompt attention, and which
may result in subjecting them to vex-
atious delays.
In order to avoid this condition of
things, special stamps will be supplied
at the early date above indicated, and
collectors will use every lawful means
at their command to urge taxpayers
TO make returns and pay their taxes
during the month of June, where
such action is possible.

WHEAT.
The Weekly Bulletins of the Gil
mate and Crop Service of the West
ern Bureau show general deterioa-
ton of the wheat crop in the princi-
pal winter wheat growing States.
In Ohio there has been general fall
ing off in condition due to rust and
the Hessian fly. The Indiana crop
has also suffered from the same cause.
In Illinois there has been some i'm
provement in early sown wheat while
the late now shows up very poor.
In Kentucky the wheat crop has
suffered loss in condition during the
month. The condition averages 73,
while on May LIST it was so. BY sec
tons the following averages are
shown: Western, 62; Central, rs;
southeastern, 81. 1t should be noted
that by far the highest average con-
dition is shown in the southeastern
section, where comparatively little
wheat is grown. There is a general
complaint of ely" in early wheat.
Rust is also frequently reported, but
so far is confined to the blades. Me-
dunn early wheat now promises the
best yield. Late wheat is overrun
with weeds. "Heads short, low and
thin on ground" is the expression
most frequently used by correspond
ents in describing the condition of the
crop.
Both western and southern sections
report corn planting not completed
with close of month. In the central
section corn is all above ground and
some is quite forward. Much re-
planting has been found necessary,
due to defective seed. The acreage
compared with acreage of 1898 is 92
The condition compared with average
years is 81. The condition June /,
1898, was 80. The several sections
show the following conditions: West
ern, so; central, So; southeastern, SO.
In tho western section the crop in
many counties lie getting foul, cultiva-
ton being retarded by excessive rain
fall.
The oat crop is small in acreage,
and appears to be receiving little at
ton.
TOBACCO.
Tobacco plants are plentiful and
setting has been rushed. In some
counties there was lack of season
until the closing days of the month.
In Western Kentucky rain has pre-
vented preparation of the ground.
Per cent. of crop set prior to June 1st !:
In western section As, central SO, and
southeastern 30. Grssshoppers and
cut worms have played havoc with
early set tobacco in a number OF
counties. Indications point to an sv-
erage acreage in tie principal tobacco
growing districts.
FRUIT.
There has been decided decline in
fruit prospects during May. Apples
have fallen off until the condition
compared with average years is but
CT, whereas it was 81 on May lst.
Pears have declined from 60 to AZ,

SENATOR SpoONER,s VIEW
Should Fight FiIipinos 10 SUbjecfIon
as Soon as possible.

Washington, Aug. 3d. Senator
Spooner left this morning for home
Before leaving, in conversing on the
expansion policy, he said:
so far as the situation in the Phil
dppines and tlhe annexation of these
islands is concerned, the presiden. is
not yet responsible for it, as is
claimed. When Dewey asked for
troops to reduce Manila the whole
country wanted them sent at once, and
even severely criticised the president
because they could not be shipped JIM
mediately. Not voice was then heard
against s=nding these troops; no one
seemed to foresee thai such occupation
as that then contemplated must neces-
earily mean more ,n1n the simple re-
duction of Manila Our troops could
not sail away after the city had been
taken, and nobody asked that they
should, because it transpired that the
Foreigners and even the citizens there
nelded cur protection. There has
been no time since when we could
hive Withdrawn from the islands, and
all that e,smains now is to fight the
Filipinos to submission as quickly as

81 think the coming session of con-
gress VIII ibe a long and particularly
ively one. There will be several very
important matters to be taken up, and
"a good deal of legislation to be ac-
complished. There is no doubt that
the house will sustain the expansion
policy of the president and endorse
the gold standard-that is, if any
financial measure is adopted 1 think
the course the presiden: has pursued
in regard to the Philippines is the
only one that could have been fol-
lowed, owing to the conditions exist
ing there, and until we send a sufficient
number Of soldiers to the island and
wipe out5the rebellion ..here we cannot
think of providing a form of govern

Each Faction Will Try 10 Place The

Crime of IS9 Upon Another
The Latest Theory Regarding
the Relation Between DreyfuS
and ESferhaZY.

Rennes. tAng. 30.-The air of Rennes
this evening is filed with runners of
conspiracies and predictions of coups
asce16afned. General Msrcfar's atti-
tude during the last few days has mys-
tilted his followers in the case. 1t is
now accepted as beyond question that
there is serious division of opinion
on the part OF the generals.
While the case was running smooth
ly against Captain Dreyfus they all
pulled together, but since the tide Of
evidence began to turn in his favor as
was notably the case during the testi-
mony Of Captain Freystaettec and Col.
Cordier, which proved mich more
damaging to the generals stef ttan
the latter anticipated, certain di-
Viding lines have become manifest be-
tween the various cliques. General
Roget, Major Lauth, Captain Cuignet
and M Gribelin, the principal keeper
OF the archives Of the war Office, form
one coterie, General Mercier and Gen
eral Gonse form another, and General
a
third
According to one report. the first
two coteries intend to throw over
General de Boisdefre, whom they feel
to be -6altering, and declare that he is
responsible for all the errors and il
legalittes of the court martial of 1894,
thus making him the scapegoat Ac-
cOnding to another report, General
Roget, who was not implicated in
1894, will cut himself loose from Gen
erals Mercier, Gonse and De Bois-
tdeffre. This is plausible hypothesis,
since Roget has assumed throughout
the role of defender of the army, thus
making himself popular with the army
and with a large section Of the nation.
Yet another story is that the gen
erals are going to give way to the au-
'horship of the bordereau in view Of
the strong evidence, anG will admit
that Esterhazy wrote it. alleging.
however, that Dreybus furnished the
