WASHINGTON, May 10.-The crop report
for May issued by the Department of Agri-
culture follows: The May returns to the
statistician of the Department Of Agri-
culture show the acreage in winter wheat
in cultivation on May l to have been about
%, y0. 900 acres. This is about 4.OO0. 900 acres
sown last fall, but il still slightly exceeds
the area of winter wheat harvested last
yeal. The reduction in acreage In the prin-
cipal States as compared with the area
seeded last fall is as follows: Kansas, $685.
600; Illinois, 70l, 900: Indiana. 1874, 600; Mis-

braska, lH,OO0; Michigan, l2S,OO0; Wisconsin,
120, 900; Tennessee, los 900. For the area re-
naming under cultivation the average con-
dition Is 6.2, as compared with S6.5 on May
j, 1885, and 1913. the mean of the average OF
the past ten years. The condition in the
principal States after reducing the acreage
as indicated Is as follows: Pennsylvania

Tennessee, IS; Kentucky, 76; Ohio, 50; Michi-

The average condition of winter rye is
$50, as compared with 945 on May i, 1895,
and sos, the mean of the May average for
the last ten years. About one-half of the
entire winter rye grown is grown in New
York and Pennsylvania, where the condi-
tons are So and 81, respectively.
Spring blowing is unusually late almost
everywhere in the country. The work al
ready done Is estimated at 57.2 per cent. of
the total contemplated. The proportion
usually done by May 1 is about IS per cent.

SUPPORTING HOSE In AIR.
Modern Way Of Avoiding Interruption
of Street-Car Traffic at Fires.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
The hosting UP of fire hose in use clear
OF the street-car tracks over which ii may
have been laid, so that the cars can pass un-
der ii, is not new. 1t has been done now for
several years. since the introduction Of the
cable cars into the city In fact, but the
sight OF hose thus hoisted never fails to in
terest those to whom II may be new: This
hosting up is done, not by the fire depart
no concern OF the firemen whether the
street-car traffic is stopped or not. They do
after use of the hose has ceased, but the fire.
mans sole land only purpose is the putting
out of the fire and he gives for the time no
thought TO anything else. But In these mod
ern days of increased population and vastly
increased car traffic In the city, when the
stopping of the cars is more than ever a
when their tracks are crossed by lines OF
hose. raise the blockade on their road at the
earliest moment by elevating the hose.
Telephone communication from the scene
OF the fire to the nearest station at which
such an outfit belonging to the company Is
situated brings Il wagon with the necessary
appliances. If the surface tracks over which
the hose is laid are under the elevated rail-
road, the hose Is simply hoisted TO that
structure. high enough above the ground TO
let the surface car pass under 1t. There is
almost always slack enough, that Is, enough
curving, looping length in the hose as ii Is
laid. 10 permit this.
Broad, thick leather collars. with rings at
the ends to hook into, are placed around
the hose. one at either extremity of a length
or nose Su1lclent 10 extend across the tracks.
These collars are used to hoist the hose up
by. and they are made as they are so as 10
avoid bending the hose abruptly at the point
Of support. supporting 1t in a curve that will
not impede the flow Of water through II.
Two sets of blocks and tackles are used.
one made fast on either side to the under
part OF the elevated structure, and when
these have been fastened and the lower
blocks hooked into the rings on the collars
the hose is swayed up clear of the track
and the cars that have been banked up on
either side start on. passing along under IL.
Meanwhile the engine that is forcing water
through this line of hose has. of course.
kept steadily at work, the water flowing
along during the handling of the hose and
after Ii has been hung up where ears can
pass under II. Where there is nothing over
head to hoist the hose up TO IL Is raised over
the surface tracks on supports resting on
the ground. one on either side. holding the
hose there something as a similar support
is sometimes used TO hold up a guy rope.

Edison has. for some months. been devot-
ing himself to the commercial use of COM
pressed air. and those who have seen him
recently say that he Is thoroughly absorbed

new commercial force and Is convinced that
I'm a little while he VIII have devised APP

IL this apparatus meets his expectations,
II will undoubtedly be speedily installed in
being completed on the banks OF the Hud-
son at Twenty-fourfh street. In the power
house has been placed a Loo horsepower

sor. sixty feet high, and II has a fly wheel
twenty-five feet in diameter. Ii Is capable OF
reducing atmospheric air so that IL repre-
eents a pressure of two thousand pounds
per square inch In four seconds.
This nsw power house represents the faith

compressed air as n motive power for street
ears that run short distance. and which pass

pei n car sixteen miles at a speed OF about
six miles an hour. These cars are TO be used
on the crosstown lines on twenty eighth

the scientists have only the vaguest notion
of what his device ard experiments are.
They do know. however. hat he Is confident
that his apparatus. when perfected. will
considerably decrease the cost or producing

ION that N will do IL In such manner as 10

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
1 have for some time been reading of Ger
man-Americans'' in mass meetings assem-
bled. voicing their protest against an i'm
aginary British-American alliance. In me
all this arouses a feeling akin TO indigna-
ton. Twenty-Five years ago 1 left Austria
to escape political and clerical tyranny:
left because / felt that in coming to this
country / would breath the air of freedom;
left my kin and the country Of my boy
hood and early manhood. TO enjoy larger
advantages and TO found a home. Yes. a
home. in which I am able TO bring up my
family TO appreciate the greatness of this
Nation: 10 teach my boys TO be loyal TO
their last drop of blood in defense OF this
Nations principles and institutions. While
in memory / cherish the country of nv
birth. 1 thank God that 1 was permitted
To elect my lot where intolerances of all
sorts can not follow me. Any foreigner 10
whom this country has been a haven of
refuge and wider success should be ashamed
10 lift his voice in condemnation OF a pos
sihle policy which can nave naught but
good results, even IL II were adopted. 1t
shows poor Judgment and a doubtful
patriotism for foreign-born citizens 10 voice,
individually or collectively, sentiments such
as nave been circulated by the press. When
/ took the oath OF allegiance in 1876 / be-
came politically dead TO the country of my
my adopted country. My 6est efforts are
none too good 10 develop good citizenship.
In other words, my all. physically. men
tally and morally, belongs 10 this country.

In nearly all lines Of trade the volume Is quite
satisfactory and considerably "a excess OF the
corresponding period last year. In dry goods and
staple groceries strong prices are the most notice
able. Sugar is very firm and likely to advance
any day. as the fruit canning season is near.
Coffee is in strong position and prices continue
steady. Molasses and syrups are easier. Canned
goods are in good request. Mackerel is higher
and in light supply. Provisions are active. Hams
are in large request, but prices remain much the
same. Strawberries are arriving in larger guam
titles and fine fruit. with prices easing of some
what. Irish potatoes. both old and new, are
easier.

Wool.

BOSTON. May 10.-The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow: The wool
market is firm and active This activity. how
ever. as was noted last week. is confined mostly
local speculator and sales OF Australian wool in
bond for export. Beyond this very little business
has been done. purchases for consumers account
having been very small. About 1000. 900 pounds OF
Australian wool in bond has been bought for ex-
port during the past week and il is quite possible
that all the wool remaining here in bond will be
taken by foreigners. The large purchases OF ter
ritory woods referred TO. in conjunction with the
uraliy resulted in some advance in prices. 1t is
difficult 10 quote with exactness. but, roundly
speaking, we should say that there had been an
advance of between &c and &c per secured
1c per pound on greasy in the past month.
The sales OF the week in Boston amounted 10
4,6as.c0 lbs domestic and 2.9l5. 600 foreign. making
a total OF 1888, 600 lbs, against a total OF $4,000
the corresponding week last year. Sales since
Jan. 1, 1899. amount to 81. 2ss, 300 lbs, against
4.6o5 $40 last year at this time.
LONDON. May 1o.-The wool sales were con-
tinued to-day after a days interruption. owing
TO the unfavorable weather of yesterday. One OF
the best selections Of merino greasy so far offered
at this series was strongly competed for. with
the French buyers paying extreme rates. There
