PILLsBURY's WHEAT OPINION.
Wheat Crop Is Practically
a Failure.

3 MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June e.
Speaking to "a Times reporter regarding
the general wheat situation, Charles A.
Pillsbury said:
II look upon the winter wheat crop as
practically a failure. The winter wheat
section of the country has not, from all
appearances, raised any more wheat than
we need here at home for our own con-
sumption. So far as the Northwestern
spring wheat area is concerned, the crop
is looking and doing fairly we'll In some
low place there may be slight damage
from too much rain. but on the whole,
with favorable weather conditions from
this time forward, there ought not to be
any reason why we should not have up
here reasonably abundant crop.
so far as Minnesota is concerned, the
state as whole has never suffered from
a crop failure. This year it may be true
that In some localities where the ground
is fiat and low, and rains have been heavy,
the plant has developed too much rank
ness, but such areas are necessarily quite
limited"

Ceremony by the British

COLOMBO, CEYLoN, June 22.-The Unit
ed States cruiser Olympia, with Admiral
Dewey on board, arrived here at a m.
from Singapore saluted the forts ashore.
and was saiuted by the latter in return.
An aide de camp representing the gov
ernor of Ceylon. Right Hon. Sir Joseph
West Ridgeway, boarded the Olympia at
o'clock this morning. in order to welcome
Admiral Dewey, and Colonel Savage. COM
manding the troops. called at 10 o'clock.
The visits were returned by Admiral Dew
ey at IL o'clock He was received at the
jetty by a guard of honor. and, amidst
cheering, drove in the governors carriage
to breakfast with Colonel Savage. The
admiral afterward booked rooms at the
Galloface hotel and returned on board the
Olympia at / o'clock. There he received
deputation representing the Planters As
sociation and the chamber of commerce.
an address as memento of his visit.
The admiral will remain in Ceylon about
week. He says he had good voyage
from Singapore, and that his health is
fairly good.
The presentation of the casket to Admiral
Dewey was made on board the Olympia
instead of in the council chamber, because
his doctor had forbidden him to participate
in any official function. The delegates also
presented 1000 pounds of tea to the crew
of the Olympia.
The admiral, replying to the welcoming
address, said he wished he could reply in
adequate terms, reciprocating the senti-
ments expressed. But, he added, he spoke
from his heart when he said he deeply ap-
preciated the welcome
Admiral Dewey added that he would have
the very acceptable present of tea distribut-
ed as desired, incidentally mentioning that
he was a lifelong tea drinker himself and
assuring the delegation that the address
would be read at muster and afterward
framed and preserved. The casket, he re-
marked, he would always keep on his table,
and he told the delegates that he would
report the matter to his government and
describe the cordiality of his reception.
Continuing, Admiral Dewey remarked:
That cheer raised on the jetty when L
landed went to the hearts of all of us. We
are 1900 miles from home, but that cheer
will be heard in America, although the way
in which 1t has touched me l shall never be
able to fully express. The two nations
were never SO closely allied by mutual SYM
pathy and appreciation as now The Amer
| lean people realized this during the late
war, and you can imagine how all those
who were at Manila and met Sir Edward
Chicester Commander of the British first
class cruiser Immortality and his gallant
comrades hold that feeling very deeply"
| A general conversation followed, and, aft
er toasting the "Anglo-Saxon union" and
the prosperity of the two countries, the
delegation departed.
Admiral Dewey now says IT is improbable
that he will go to Handy and that he in
tends staying in Colombo.

Ever Fought for the
Union.

ST. LOUIS, June 22.-The Post-Dispatch
says that at the next annual encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic. which
will be the closing one Of the nineteenth
century, a resolution will be introduced
by an Illinois member to perpetuate 1t and
take into it the veterans of the navy, as
well as of the army.
1t will be proposed to change the name
to "The Grand Army and Navy of the Re-
public"
The resolution will call for the amend
ment of the. constitution so as to admit all
soldiers and sailors who ever fought for
the Union, all who are fighting for 1t now.
and all who may hereafter fight for the
flag and the principles which 1t represents.
The reason for the movement Is the fact
that the G. A. r. is in the process of
speedy and certain ultimate extinction, by
reason of having nothing to recruit from.
1t is probable that the commander-in-chief
will be memorialized to appoint a commit

HOLD A BIG ANTI-ALLIANCE MEET
ING AT DETROIT.
RADICAL RESOLUTIONS
DESIGNATION OF AMERICANS AS An
GLo-sAxONs OBJECTED TO.
Resolutions Protest Against ImperiaI-
ism, MiIitarism and Any Foreign
AIliances-Great Britain's
Foreign Policy Vigor-
ously Denounced.

DETROIT, MICH, June 22.-German-
Americans of Detroit in mass meeting as
sembled tonight in most radical terms de-
clared hostility to American-English polit-
ical alliances of any sort and protested We
hemently against any Characterization of
the American people as Anglo-Saxons. AL
though the night was warm, the Audi
torium contained an audience of nearly
1900, many of them delegates from more
than seventy German churches, societies
and lodges. The English speakers were
Congressman John ]. Lentz. of Ohio. and
Frank II. Lodge The German orators
were Rev. Mr.. Paul Bard and Rev. Mr..
Otto c. Haas. All strongly opposed the
expansion policy and any idea of alliances
either with England. Germany or any other
nation. Congressman LentZ especially
fiouted the expansion idea. The people join
ed in the patriotic songs, both of Germany
and America, with enthusiastic vigor.
The resolutions of protest were adopted
amid a scene of great enthusiasm. They
declare that the Communications of De-
troit and vicinity. taking pride in the part
which German-Americans have taken in
the unexampled development Of America
and being ready, as always, to defend the
American nation against internal and ex-
ternal foes, protest against the falsehoods,
calumnies and malicious agitation given ut
terance to by the yellow press. and also
against imperialism. militarism and any
foreign alliances; especially against an al
lance with England. for the reason that
such an alliance could only involve US in
unnecessary political controversies and
bloody wars. History irrefutably teaches
that England, since the war Of independ-
ence has always shown hatred of this
country and has endeavored to destroy the
Union whenever chance offered.
IF England to-day assumes a friendly
attitude towards this country, we German
Americans merely consider that as speci-
men of that Anglo-Saxon hypocrisy which
has always characterized England's for
eign policy. We are convinced that En-
gland entertains the secret hope to turn
this glorious republic from its old reliable
course and put our welfare in jeopardy
through Imperialism and militarism."
The resolutions protested further
against the systematic attempts through
falsehood and malicious agitation to dis
turb the friendly relations which have ex-
listed between the United States and Ger
many for 120 years." also against the at
| tempts of a certain clique to stamp the
people of the United States as Anglo-Sax-
ons and for that reason to make them SUBJ
servient to the interests of England"
