preciating the exceptionally high quail
ity of these fine growths, which more
over constitute only moderate proper
ton of the crop, will shortly offer better
terms.
(Ashford District)
One plantation of "A acres in this dis
trfct yielded about 20 tons. The sur
renden grounds at Pluckley, about 70
acres in extent, produced nearly a ton
to the acre.
(Biddenden Weald.)
The picking has been completed this
week. Nearly the whole of the hops
have been gathered and the average
for the parish is about 13 cwts. rer
acre. Many grounds produced 20 and
21 cwts. per acre all round. Weald of
Kent hops are of exceptionally high
quality, though the later pickings do
not make such good samples as those
of the first fortnight or three weeks.
Qckham and Wickham)
Picking continued down to few days
ago, some sound, ripe Goldings being
secured. The color was better than
might have been expected considering
the high winds Of last week.
Patrixbourne)
The picking in this parish did not
finish until the latter end of the past
week, The hops in the last ground en-
tered had turned brown on the outsides,
but generally speaking the growth was
bright and very sound, being in fact en-
tirely free from disease. There are no
hops left unpicked in the parish.
(Speldhurst)
The hop plantation on the Tunbridge
Wells Southern Sewage Farm in this
parish has produced an enormous crop.
The Canterbury Goldings yielded rather
more than % cwts. per acre, and the
Colegates about 271a cwts. About eight
acres of Fuggles We're still heavier
crop, the average being from % to 30
cwts. per acre.
(Worcester Hop Report)
With the exception of a few late
pieces in some of the larger planta-
tions, picking is now finished in this
district and after the rough weather OF
the past few days most Of those re-
naming on the poles will probably be
left to blow away. The Worcester hops
have generally come down heavier than
expected a month ago, and altogether
this district will probably yield about
one-fifth more hops than last year,
after allowing for some discolored
pieces left unpicked.
The market on Saturday was again
we'll attended, and there was a large
supply of hops on offer. Trade was very
slow for all but the choicest qualities,
which alone maintained previous
values. Useful medium samples could
only be disposed of at 5s. to los. per
cwt. less money, and low lots were
neglected at a still greater reduction.
Last week 1854 pockets passed the
public scales, including 273 on Satur-
day, making 10, 40S pockets Of this sea-
sons hops weighed. H. Meredith &

turbed, but trade was quiet and the feel
ing was easier. The local barley market
was dull but steady. Receipts were light

we'll sustained, Black being in good de-
mand Receipts were 1920 centals, in
Guiding 1850 centals from Oregon. Re-
ceipts of corn were 600 centals Eastern

the north and force qthe insurgents to
meet Gen. Otis's demands for com .
plete surrender.
MacArthur's plan is to surround and
overwhelm the 5000 Filipinos at Bacol-
or, few miles west of San Fernando
on the railroad. To accomplish this
Macarthur will probably send col
umn to the west of Bacolor while he
m aintains his position to the north.
Lawton is cooperating in this plan,
and has already moved his column to
a strategic position SO as to protect
communication with Manila.
In order to make this final peace ar
gument convincing, Macarthur has
waited for his troops to recuperate
from the fatigue of recent campaigning
and for the reinforcements made pos
sible by the arrival of the 2lst. infan-
try On the Hancock.

THE SCHOLASTIC CENSUS.
Jake Catlln Is Now Beating Up the
Brush For Names.

Jake Catlin is now out rustline en-
ergetically for names of eligible school
children for next session.
He has already procured about six
hundred and says he does not bslleve
that the total this year will much ex-
ceed that of last.
Last year a clean sweep was made
and every eligible in sight was run
down and his or her name placed on
the list. The scholastic census is of
vital Importance to the schools of Ell
PasO as each name enrolled means
about $3.50 to TIE school fund of this
district.
While the city profits greatly by the
enrolment of names the census taker
receives such small compensation tn At
the board has to, make especial ar
rangement to pay him little more on
the side so that he can receive living
| wages.
The progress of the census taker
among the Mexicans is very slow owing
| to the fact that the parents look with
| suspicion upon the intruder when he
asks about their children and each
separate family has to be told the
whole story before any information is
given. Jake Catlin is recommended
| by Superintendent Putnam as one of
the best census takers ever put in this
locality, as he speaks Spanish fiuently
and is thoroughly familiar with Mexi-
| can character.

CHICAGO, May 12.-The Chronicle
Says this morning: The antitrust and
auti-imperialism planks will be nailed
nearer to the foot lights than the 10 to
I plank in the democratic platform OF
1900, according to the prediction OF
Sam B. Cook, general manager OF the
democratic ways and means commit
tee.
Cook has been in conference with
Ex-Governor Stone and other commit
tee leaders and his declarations are
said to represent the opinion OF dem
ocratic leaders in the national organ
ization-
Cook declares that although the next
convention will reaffirm the Chicago
platform it will turn its guns on the
great industrial combinations which
have been involved under Mckinley 8
administration.
Expansion, he says, will also be
special target for democratic fire. In
other words, free silver. is to be subor-
dinated.
