SOME RELIEF ON LONG ISLAND.

Riverhead Long Island. June N-The first rain
of any consequence since last March fell in Suffolk
County last evening The storm lasted from twenty
minutes to three-quarters OF an hour, but was hard
and steady. The hay crop has been ruined and the
oat crop fast following. but 1t is thought that
on farms the bulk Of the oats will be saved
II another shower follows In day or two 1t was
a fortunate shower for the potato crop The pota-
Just beginning TO blossom and set. and the
refreshing rain came at the time It most
needed. Strawberries. asparagus. peas and all early
crops are however ruined beyond help Corn Of
the late varieties will survive II another rain
soon. One great source OF relief the filing OF
the cisterns
At East Marion the rain began at o'clock and
lasted for two hours. The farmers accept the
shower as answer to their prayers, although it
came too late TO save any part OF the early hay
crop.
Prayers OF thanksgiving were offered last night
that the drouth had been ended The rain fell for
three hours In Greenport while in Huntington the
fall was barely sufficient to lay the dust.

Denver. June 1.-THE outlook Is favorable to-
night for an early resumption OF work at all
the trust smeters which have been shut down
since Wednesday. bringing enforced idleness to
thousands Of miners and railroad employees and
threatening injury TO all the industries Of the
State. Steps have been taken which will probably
lead TO a conference between James B. Grant.

American Smelling and Refining Company. and
committee of the Shelters Mems Union. The en-
ployes II is believed, will insist only that eight
hour shifts shall be granted. Mr.. Grant hns said
that he will agree to this. He has also expressed
willingness to pay the wages that are being paid
at the Argo Smeter. To adjust rates according to
the varying conditions at the different trust smelt
ers would require considerable study. but II the
men recede from the demand for ten and twelve
hours pay for eight hours work there Will be

FAIRS there. The general opinion here is that
Eevery effort should be made to retain his
rwices. DR.. Drummer said to-day:
There Is not nearly so much yellow fever in
1iavana this year as usual but there is more
than has been admitted; and this will continue
TO be the case Just so long as the Americans

will always breed contagious. Such purifca-

pericial The buildings themselves a men,

Moreover. many of the Havana physicians
are absolutely unreliable. Some Of them do not

wonderful condition of health. all things con-

: Regarding the recent death Of the marine from
yellow fever. Major-General Ludlow. the Mill

bound to occur occasionally. but he thinks II
impossible that any case of infectious disease
should occur without word being received by the
