Crop Report.

The following is the weekly summary
of crop conditions, issued by the W Gather
Bureau: The droughty conditions in the
Atlantic coast districts have been rclicv-
ed by the abundant rains, which, how
ever, came too late to be of material hcnc-
fit to many crops. Drought continues in
the Ohio and Central Mississippi valleys,
and portions of the Lower Lake region,
while excessive rains have retarded work
and damaged crops in Nebraska, Mime
sofa, and the Dakotas. Very general
complaint of damage, especially to fruit,
by high winds along the path Of the tropl-
cal storm from the Missouri Valley over
the northern districts to the eastward, is
reported The continued prevalence of
high temperature has been favorable for
maturing crops.
While light to heavy frosts occurred in
the upper Mississippi valleys on the morn
ing of the 18th, the corn crop in these dis
tricts was so far matured as to be prac-
tically safe from injury, and although
some damage from high windsis reported
from Illinois and Indiana, the general
conditions of the week have been favera-
bic to corn. A large part of the crop has
been cut in the State of the central val
Ievs, and some husking has been done.
Tobacco cutting, where unfinished, has
progressed favorably, nearly the whole Of
the crop being secured, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky being
the only States in which cutting has not
been finished
The prospects for apples have been very
materially reduced as result of the
damage caused by the high winds of the
past week, which blew the fruit from the
trees in large quantities is nearly all the
principal apple producing States In New
York the reports indicate that probably
more than one half of the crop has been
blown from the trees
The soil is generally in excellent condi-
ton for blowing and seeding, which work
has been vigorously pushed, except in the
State of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys,
where it is too dry. Some of the early
sown grain in Kansas, Nebraska, and Ok
lahoma is already up.

Another Dispatch Received
From Minister Conger.
TRYING TO CHANGE RUSSIA'S MIND.
An Effort Being Made by the Powera
to Induce the Gear to Abandon
the idea of Withdrawing
Troops From Pekfng.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "A dispatch
from Minister Conger was received by
the state department yesterday. 1t was
chiefly interesting in being the first word
from him since his dispatch Of about the
9th ult. referring to the proposed parade
of troops through the imperial palace IN
Peking. Like that dispatch, this Is date.
less as to Peking. The contents was
not made public, but it was stated that 1t
contained nothing materially changing
the situation. The lack Of date led to
determination to take energetic steps by
which all dispatches hereafter coming
to the state department from China Will
have the date clearly stated.
Two other dispatches received from
China referred to the state of health Of
the troops, which generally is satisfac'
tory.
1t cannot be learned that there has
been any marked advancement Of the me-
gotiations between the powers touching
Ie withdrawal of the international
forces from Peking. The plain indica.
tion is that the powers are acting upon
the hint conveyed in the last note OF the
state department and are bringing all
of their influence to bear upon Russia to
induce her to change her mind as to
withdrawing her troops. For some rea-
son the authorities here appear to feel
growing confidence that this effort will
be successful. 1t is noted as fact Of
great significance that the proposition Is
being advanced to have Prince Ching
return to Peking as the acting head of
the Chinese government. The suggest
ton is made that the progress of this
wave Of reorganization while the inter-
national troops are still in Peking, prom.
Using as it does speedily to provide an
actual de facto Chinese government with
which the nations may treat without
further doubt as to it's strength, may
solve the present problem and put the
Chinese question in a fair way to final
and satisfactory settlement. Much may
depend upon the attitude Of Russia in
this matter, and the manner in which
she treats this appeal from the Chinese
notables may prove to be a test of the
sincerity of her expressed desire to deal
with the Chinese government as soon as
possible

How would this state of things in
the government finances affect general
business conditions throughout the
country?"
1.-THE effect would be deplorable. No
body would be able to measure accu-
rately the influence upon his own at
fairs of such government action. Every
one would be in a state Of fear; and
when people are afraid they will. as
some one has said, either run or hide.
Commercial dullness would succeed the
present commercial activity, and we
would again witness that industrial
paralysis which characterized the years

what was to be the standard agitated
