Washington, May 29.-The labor union
contingent recognizes its advantage of
position at the outset of a national po-
litical campaign and is keeping Wash
ington stirred up with it's demands for
recognition in one way and another.
Henry White, secretary of the United
Garment Workers, and Daniel j. Keefe,
president of the International Long
shoremen's union, are here to consult
with Samuel Gompers and unite all their
forces to push through the senate the
eight-hour labor bill which has already
passed the house This is a bill which
makes an eight-hour working day COM
pulsory in all labor for the government
regardless of the individual rights of
the contractors who may be under bond
for the work. The theory Is that the
Republican leaders will give them their
way for the sake of not alternating the
labor vote, and that the Democrats will
not dare set up any opposition.

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.
Grain, Grass and Fruit Doing WeII-Potatoes
Damaued by Frost In Massachusetts.

Boston, May 29.-Following is state
ment of the weather and crop conditions
of New England, compiled from the re-
ports of correspondents of the weather
bureau throughout the section, for the
week ending May %:
The first part of the week was too wet
for farm work. Generally crops made
less than an average growth for the
period. The season is reported late in
all states of the section. The continued
wet weather has greatly hindered Maine
farmers About one-half of the Gull
tivated crops in Connecticut and Rhode
Island have been planted.
Many fields of corn have been planted
in New Hampshire and Vermont. About
one-half the crop has been planted in
Connecticut and small portion in Mas
sachusetts. In the latter state an in
creased acreage is anticipated. Oats
are looking we'll. Rye is heading in the
lower Connecticut valley and promises a
full yield Much grain is yet to be sown
in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
The most unfavorable reports as to
grass are from Connecticut. Old mead
oWs seem to have suffered during the
past winter. The clover crop in that
state, however, is reported to be in good
condition. Only in north New England
are the pastures inadequate to sustain
stock, and in that latitude only dairy
cows require additional feed.
Apples are beginning to bloom in Yer
mont, while three-fourths of the trees
in Massachusetts have already bloomed.
Leaves in the middle portion have two
thirds grown. Raspberries, blackberries
and grapes are blooming full. Nothing
detrimental to the fruit crop has &C.
Cured during the week.
About all the potatoes have been
planted. Some in southern localities
have been cultivated. The crop was
damaged considerably in Massachusetts,
by the frost of the 18th Asparagus in
New Hampshire and Massachusetts, is
very poor. Early peas have been cult
waited in Maine.
Very little tobacco has been planted,
but the beds are in readiness for setting
and with the earliest favorable weather
conditions plants will be set

PEACE REIGNS IN MANILA.
Successful Operations by Our Troops In the
Northern Portion OF Luzon.

Manila, May 29.-Peace reigns and no
trouble is expected in Manila, although
the city is crowded with people from the
provinces, who are leaving the unpro-
tected hamlets in order to AVOID the con-
scription which the insurgent leaders
are enforcing, as well as robbery and
outrages at the hands of rowing insur-
gents and bandits.
Scouting, small engagements and cap
ture of arms and prisoners continue
daily in northern Luzon. Last week s
operations resulted in the killing of AZ
Of the enemy the taking of 1870 prisoners
and the capture of 800 rifles and guam
tity of ammunition.
Colonel Hardin, with three companies
of the Twenty regiment and blue
Jackets from the gunboat Helena, landed
at Palonog, Masbet island, under the
enemy's fire, routed the insurgents and,
after an engagement lasting half an
hour, occupied the town. without casual
ties.
The inSurgent commander, with ~
officers and 230 men, surrendered on
May 20, giving up 100 rifles. An i'm
pressive scene occurred on the plaza
when the prisoners were disarmed and
liberated. The islanders were found
suffering from lack of food, owing to the
blockade, and the American authorities
are endeavoring to relieve them.
The investigation of the charge against
Brigadier General Funston of having
summarily executed two natives in the
province of Zambales has resulted in a
discontinuance of the proceedings. 1t
developed the fact that General Funston
caught the natives in the very act Of
numbering bound Macabebe scouts, his
action in view of the circumstances being
regarded as justifiable.

WAR IN THE TRANSVAAL.

London, May 29.-The war office has
received the following from Lord Rob-
erts:
"Vereeniging, Sunday, May 27, 1850 p.
m.-We crossed the Vaal this morning
and are now encamped on the north bank
The advance troops, which crossed yes
terday were only just in time to save
the coal mines on both this and the
other side of the river from being de-
stroyed. Our casualties were four.

way between Mafeking and Buluwayo
has been restored and that supplies are

Plumer from Beira with incredible rapid
ity.
Lieutenant Weber was taken pris-
oner at Hebron few days ago. He
went there on telegraph duty 1t was

The war office published the following
dispatch from Lord Roberts:
kip River, Transvaal, May 20, 5:25
p. m.-We marched 20 miles today, and
are now Is miles from Johannesburg
The enemy had prepared several posi-
lions where they intended to oppose us,
but they abandoned one after the other
as we neared them.
1--WE pressed them so hard that they
had only just time to get their five guns
into train and to leave this station as
some of the West Australian mounted
infantry dashed into it. French's and
Ian Hamilton forces are apparently en-
gagged with the enemy about 10 miles to
our left, as firing has been heard since
noon.
1.-THE farmers near our line of advance
are surrendering with their arms and
horses.
"Rundle occupied Senekal on May "a.
No report of what took place has reached
me yet"
Lord Roberts Is now within days
march of johannesburg, and General
French and General Ian Hamilton
fought the Beers from noon until even
ing on Monday, with what result is not
known here
The burghers in northern Natal are,
according to General Buffers spies,
preparing to fall back to the Heidelberg
hills. Probably they will not contest
Laing's Mex stubbornly. A correspon-
dent with General Butler, wiring from
Newcastle yesterday morning, said that
Lord Roberts advance had inspired the
Beers with a desire to get back into
Transvaal territory. Lord Roberts lat
est movement was probably then UNI
known in the Boer and British camps In
Natal.
| The military critics consider that Lord
Roberts is in position now to easily
render Laings Mex untenable, as he can
cut off communication and take the
Beers in the rear.
| General Butler is remaining quiet
! The Beers fised six shells at the British
camp from a six-inch gun on Pogwana
mountain.
