n. E CROP REPORTS.

Boston, Aug. l5.-The U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, Climate and
Crop Bulletin Of the Weather Bureau,
New England Section, issued last
night says;
In the northern districts there has
been marked improvement in the
condition of growing crops.
The week has been characterized
by much cloudneSs and rain. The Ua-
cut grass has now become almost
worthless. Wheat and oats, whis h
are now ripcning in northern NSy
England, promise heavy yield. O. =, !,
though late is making~~a ssiE4lle .s'sssEi
growth. Late potatoes and beans
are affected in a feA instances by
rust. Grasshoppers are committing
serious depredations in some locali-
ties.
GRAss.-Hungaliln grass is making
good growth everywhere. Pastures
in Maine are excellent: in MasSachu-
setts, medium: in Connecticut, poor.
Rowen has made light growth in
both Massachusetts and Connecticut,
but the late mown fields of New
Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine are
making rapid growth. A few mea-
dows in those states have not been
moved because of the prevailing wet
weather.
GRAIN.-Some have begun to cut
fodder in Connecticut. Corn has suf-
fered most in districts of that state.
Oats and wheat are being harvested
in Maine and New Hampshire. With
few exceptions correspondents report
corn to be excellent. The rains OF
the past two weeks have been of great
benefit to the maturing wheat and
oats of the northern states.
FRUIT. - Fruit continues to drop
from trees, but not SO extensively as
in the two weeks preceding. Grapes
are plentiful. Early apples are more
abundant than late varieties; of the
latter, the Baldwin is the most prom
Using. Blackberries are yielding well
in Massachusetts and Vermont. One
repOrt from Connecticut states that
the pear and peach trees are bending
and breaking beneath their weight OF
fruit.
| VEGETABLES. The onion crop is
reported to be good in Vermont. To-
matoes in Massachusetts are ripening
rapidly and are of good quality. The
late rains have greatly benefited tuf'
nips and celery. Late potatoes con
tinue to do well, except in the dry
areas.
TOBACCO The pl;:nts that were
topped early are ripcning rapidly ane
cutting will commence at once. Re
ports continue TO praise une crop.
RAINFALL. - In Maine, New
Hampshire, and Vermont there il
sufficient moisture. In central ant
eastern Massachusetts and COnnecti
cut and in the State of Rhode Islant
there is yet deficiency of rain. II
central and southern Connecticut tn
weather of the past week has inten
sitied the drought. Rain has falle1
almost every day for week, and IL
. the three northern states, it has bee
a distinctively rainy week.

MAY BIZ MODIFICATION
IOF THE RUSSIAN POLICY

London, Sept Ga dispatch from
Sir Alfred Caselee. which shows that
the situation in Pekin was unchanged
on Aug. 20, is the only Chinese news
this morning The cancellation of the
order holding back the Fourth Indian
brigade is regarded as important 1t
shows that, whatever the outcome of
the Russian policy, the British gov
ernment is determined to have suf-
ficient troops on the spot adequately
to protect British interests.
Considerable significance is attach
ed to the statement by the Journal De
St. Petersburg as possibly indicating
q modification Of Russian policy. This
paper is the organ Of the Russian for

Journal De st. Petersburg announces
Russia's determination to maintain
the solidarity of the powers. it only
mentions the withdrawal Of the min
listers, and not Of the troops, to Tien
Tsin. It is believed that the powers
might agree to such a modification of
the original Russian proposal.
The Vienna correspondent of The
Times, discussing the situation, declares
that Japan has a strong disposition to
act in harmony with the United States
in the Chinese question.
A Shanghai dispatch announces that
German troops will land there today.
Curiously enough. they will be located
in barracks adjoining the residence of

United States Consul Goodnow, ac-
