SPRINGS CHEEKY ADVENT.
All Washington Turns Out to CcIc
brate the Passing of Winter.

Soft skies and a bright sun made yester-
day as fair a day as the clerk of the
weather could conceive Washington peo-
pie. high and low, turned out to welcome
spring, and all the city was on parade.
According to the almanac. winter died
fully a fortnight ago. But the powers
which temper the wind seemingly forgot
the tale of days. and Hibernus fingered
most provokingly. Cold winds and nasty
rains promised never to abate. and the sea-

southwest winds.
From early morning yesterday cyclers
and fisherfolk were busy enjoying the first
real spring day, and expeditions to nearby
resorts kept country reads well Travelled.
In town, however the day did not com
mence until the after-church parade at
noon. The balmy air had helped thousands
of people into the sanctuaries, and every
preacher faced a large congregation.
In the afternoon, following late sun
day lunch, the parade commenced anew.
On horseback and in carriages the people
took the air. while automobiles were in
such demand as never before this season.
The street railways were crowded. The
open cars everywhere were in demand and
thousands streamed out to the suburbs
The Geological Park was a goal for most
of them. and the place was thronged. Then
again the children had their innings. and

the ghost, lying upon the floor in his
sores and vermin-While the solemn
tones of the organs We're pealing
through the chapel aisles and the choir
esters were chanting the morning mass.
By a staircase of variegated jaspers
and marbles in shades of green and
yellow we descend to the burial vault
of the kings and queens of Spain. The
chamber is octagonal only thirty-slX
feet in diameter and thirty-eight high,
and Is lined with polished black marble.
The entrance takes UP the whole of one
side and the altar another, leaving
scant places for twenty-four sarcopha-
gil These are of periphery, exactly
alike, each inscribed with the name Of
it's occupant in gilt letters. This phan-
teon Is designed solely for monarchs
who have actually sat upon the Span
ish throne and their mothers-each of
whom, during his or her life time, Sc
lects the urn in which the remains are
to be finally deposited. The stern ETH
auette and precedence of the Spanish
court survives even the grave. Thus the
late Queen Mercedes, first wife of AL
fonso Kills father, having died with
out issue, was placed in one of the
chapels to the left of the altar The
royal vault lies directly under the high
altar so that the illustrious dead may
rest as near as possible to the host
From the center of the dome-like cell
ing hangs a rock-crystal chandelier,
which is never lighted except upon the
occasion of royal burial They tell
us that in 1645, Philip " opened the
urn of Charles V, and found his body
to be perfectly preserved. Two hundred
and fifteen years later, the ministers of
the revolution opened 1t again, and
painter, who was present, made
sketch of it. Afterwards it was photo
graphed and to-day you may buy the
guesome thing at a bookstall of Ma
drid in the street of San Geronimo, for
three pesetas--about forty cents in our
money.
From this dark, ill-smeling hole you
gladly mount the stairs to life and sun

Phantom de los Infantes-the tomb of
those Spanish princess who did not at
tain to the dignity Of the crown.
Among them lie several queens of
France, Spain and Portugal, as well as
such warriors Of high degree as Don
Juan of Austria Emanuel Philibert,
Duke of Savoy, the victor at San Quen-
tin, and the Duke of Vendome, natural
son Of Loris XIV, who commanded the
Spanish armies during the war of sue
cassion. The Spaniards speak of this 4
royal pantheon, as ''El Pudridero, the
putrefying place-a name which you

door with fingers pressed to nostrils,
and to its nameless horrors-come at

Review For the Past Week by United
States Department of Agriculture.
The weekly climate and crop bulletin
of the weather bureau, issued by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, gives a statement of condition in
New England for the week ending
Monday, July 9, as follows;
Reports from Connecticut, as a rule,
state that the crop conditions are ia
vorabe. These remarks have been
quite uniform, though one or two COR
respondents state that rain is needed.
In the northern states crops are few
days late and suffering from dry
weather In Maine some barley and
Hungarian grass is yet to be sown.
There has been a large amount of fod-
der corn sown throughout the district
Potato beetles and squash bugs are do
irg considerable damage in Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont. There
age few forest tent caterpillars this sea-
SON.
Grass-Tn Connecticut about one-half
OF the hay crop has been harvested In
Maine very little grass has been cut.
The rains of the week preceding in
creased the growth in northern fields
more than was anticipates. The crop
has been harvested thus far under ia
vcrable conditions; the rains Of the
week have been so light as to interfere
but little with the harvesting In
Rhode Island pastures are getting
brown and streams are low In Maine
pastures are better than usual. Reports
r, L.
though Massachusetts and Connecticut
are generally favorable
Grain.-Early corn is looking we'll.
but late planted is uneven and many
fields are deficient in stand The crop
in Maine. though backward is thrifty.
Rye has filed and Is now ready to cut.
Reports on oats are conflicting. In
northern localities they now need rain.
In some southern fields the crop Is re-
ported heavv. Much oats has been cut
green for fodder.
Fruit.-In dry districts apples are
failing and berries shriveling The
strawberry season passed in Vermont
ard New HAMPSHIRE. Reports conflict
as TO the amount of the crop. Rasp-
berries are beginning to ripen In Rhode
calities the prospects are now fatter-
ing. One report from Vermont states
that summer applies are plentiful but
that winter varieties are poor One cor
from Rhode Island saws
that insects are innumerable and de-
stroying much fruit. Cranberry bors
promise full crop. Grapes and black
berries are abundant
Vege fables-PotatOes are in full
bloom in Massachusetts, Rhode Island
and Connecticut Perhaps more than
any other vegetable, they now need
rain. Onions throughout Massachusetts

beans are being marketed. Many gar
dens are now seriously affected by the
dry weather.
Tobacco continues uneven, but the
hot weather of the past three days has
had beneficial effect upon the plant,

CHINA'S ROADS AND WATER
WAYS

| The roads of China are poor. Only a
| few are paved. and for that reason the
greater part of the trade is carried on
by means of the numerous canals and
other waterways. The country Is irri-
gated by great rivers, and intersected
| by a system of canals which is more
than six hundred years old. But these
canals, like the roads, the army and
everything of a public character, are
badly managed and in a state of decay.
The Grand canal, the longest artificial
Tien-Tsin and runs south to Hang
Chow, a distance of six hundred miles.
Lord Charles Beresford In speaking of
1t said that when he saw 1t in 1898 there
was no water in 1t, pigs were wallowing
in the bed. which was actually dry, and
it was silted up where it should join the
Yang-tse, simply from want Of care.
The Yang-tse river, nearly thirty-five
hundred miles long, is navigable in the
summer, which Is the flood season, for
distance of six hundred and eighty
miles, from the sea to Hankow, for
ocean going vessels and ordinary
steamboats, can go three hundred and
seventy miles further up stream.
The whole empire has only 317 miles
of railroad. The longest line Is from
Pekin to Tien-Tsin, and thence to
Shan-H oik-Wan. 300 hundred miles,
and the other is from Woosung to
Shanghai. Russia is now building 1,400
miles of road: Belgium 700 miles, and
China is building on her own account a
line of ITO miles. Ground has been sur
veyed for 2507 miles additional. OF
these projected roads, the Chinese will
own ninety-seven miles, Germany 430
miles, France 420 miles, England $50
miles, Russia, with China. will own 100
miles, and 700 miles have been project
ed by an Anglo American syndicate.
The locomotives in use now were made
in England and America. The line
from Pelsin to Shan Haik- Wan is laid
with eighty -five-pound rails part of the
way, but most of the iron is of the sew
enty and sixty-pound type.
All the PRINCIPAL cities in the empire
have telegraph service. An arrange
graph authorities in 1892 by which com
munication was established between
Pekin and Europe. The postal system
of the empire is still in a primitive con-
dition. 1t is carried on under the ,dfec-
ton of the minister Of war by means of
post carts and runners. There are
eight thousand offices for post carts in
the eighteen provinces, and there are
2040 Offices for runners scattered over
the empire. There are also many pri-
vate postal couriers, and during the
winter the foreign customs Office main
tains a service between PelSin and the
outposts. York Sun.

THE STOCK M 4 RIA EI.
Dull and Uninteresting Affair Ycsfe

! Dull and Uninteresting fair Ycsfer-
New York. July 13.-To-day's stock
market was but dull and uninterest-
ing affair and marked the further re-
lapse from the manipulated rise of the
earlier part Of the week which came
into evidence yesterday. Selling to take
profits was the order Of the day and
the bears put out some fresh short
! lines.
The sympathetic depression from for
eign markets was allowed its full eff
feet The weakness there was due to
renewed fears regarding the Chinese
situation and to the mishap to the Brit
ish forces in South Africa. The effect
here was purely sympathetic and when
it was seen how small the selling for
London account was, the bulls braced
their energies and attempted to resume
control of the market. The pressure of
profit-taking which met the advance
when last nights level of prices was
approached discouraged the attempt
and the market was allowed to lapse
into an almost lifeess state. The sharp
break in the wheat market, which
might be fairly construed as indicating
more hopeful feeling regarding the
crop, was powerless to sustain the stock
market.
Small as the offerings were, they were
sufficient to drive prices sharply below
last nights level. The grangers, south
Westerns and some of the southern rail-
road stocks We're most notably affected,
but there We're examples Of weakness
all through the list, both of railroads
and specialties. The steel stocks be-
came notably weak late in the day on
a growing apprehension that the gem
eral reaction in business will curtail the
consumptive requirements for iron and
steel whatever the ultimate basis Of
prices might be-
Estimates of to-mofrow's bank state
ment are rather tentative in view of the
discrepancy last week between the pre-
lminary indications and the actual re-
suits. The banks seem to have gained
over million dollars from the sub
treasury during the week and the move
ment of currency from the interior, al
though considerably reduced, is still in
their favor. Call loans fell to / per
cent this afternoon and the probability
is in favor of an increase in surplus re-
serves.
The bond market continued dull and
the changes were mixed. The total
sales par value aggregated $l,6S5,00
