DROUGHT running CROPS.
Now York Farmers VIII Not Get But Lit
tie HAY-Oats Ruined.

Albany, June 1.-Serlous apprehensions
are entertained as to the effect of the con-
tinued dry weather in this section. No rain
of consequence has fallen in the
counties of Albany, SchnectadN,
Saratoga and Washington since the
snow disappeared. A few days more of dry
weather will render the hay crop total
failure, the meadows especially on the up
lands being almost dried up. The grass
has made very little growth and even if
heavy rains should come the cut of hay
will be extremely light. The same is true
but to n less degree as to the crops of rye
and oats, especially the latter. Many he DIS
of oats Will not be worth harvesting. Corn
is in better shape. where it can he cult
waited, but both corn and potatoes Will be
greatly injured unless rains come soon.
The soil in many cases is baked hard with
great assures in it and tillagc is impos-
sible. The farmers hereabout are greatly
discouraged at the prospect.

HAWAIIAN POLITICAL PARTIES

First of all, that among white inhabi-
tants there is really no serious division OF
Observation-Disclosures all Hawaii on all
important matters touching the welfare of
the islands, the opinions of those, white
and native. whose op.iions really carry
weight are united. But human nature in
Hawaii is the same as elsewhere, and
therefore there is mild disagreement, that
satisfies itself with gentle discussion at the
club. In time, no doubt, Hawaii will have
its republican and democratic parties but
at present the only party division at all
discoverabe is one based on pro and anti
missionary leanngs, And this is so in
definite it can hardly be dignined with
name. and so misleading as TO require eX-
PLANTATION TO the non-HaTaian reader.
The anti-missioaary element may be de-
scribed as whites who more recently i'm
migrated to Hawaii, and are envious OF
tho political and commercial pre-emnence
OF the early settler descendants, The ma
jorty of this anti element comprises men
OF the smaller business interests-shop-
keepers, clerks, few of whom have strong
prejudices on the subject The minority
ants, the agitators, who do the talking at
home and supply the newspapers abroad,
are political aspirants from the mainland,
and few half-castes of vicious tendencies

The island of Guam, of the Iadrones
group, over which the United States flag
was raised a year ago by Capt. Glass,
Of the L. S. cruiser Charleston, has the
best harbor of any island in the group,
and there are said to be other excellent
anchorages on the island, which, with
its length of twenty-seven miles, its
breadth of seven or eight its nearly TO-
coo people and its good soil, is at once the
largest, most populous and most prosper
Gus of the Ladrone islands. Since the
session of the other islands to Germany,
Germany would doubtless pay good
price for Guam; but the United States
will doubtless prefer to keep the island,
If we keep the Philippines.

there has been an increase of from TO 30
per cent. in the wages of 10000 employees

which goes to emphasize the fact that
