Crop ary.

Following is the summary of the gov
eminent climate and crop report for
Arkansas for the week ending May 14th
Rain was general throughout the state
during the early part of the week; in
some localities it was excessive, but as
rule the amount was just enough to be
beneficial to growing crops. The nights
have been very cool, and in some Sec
tons light frosts occurred, which re-
tarded the growth of vegetation. Corn
is generally coming up to good stands.
Cotton in most sections looks healthy,
and wheat, oats and Irish potatoes gen.
eraly promise good yields. Fruit pros.
poets are generally good except apples,
which are falling from the trees,
The mean temperature and total
rainfall for the week at reporting sta
tons are given in the following table:

strike Declared or.

on the llth inst. the street car strike
a" Little Rock was declared off after
nine days duration. At meeting of
the grievance committee of the strikers
and the street car management a set.
tlement OF the trouble was effectad
whereby the men were to return 70
work, each one to be given the same
standing in point of service with the
company as he had when the strike
was ordered. The property having
been placed in the hands of a receiver
after tie strike was inaugurated, the
proposition of Manager johnson to
leave the question of hours of labor and
wages to the court was accepted by the
men. The conduct of the strikers
throughout was such as to command
the respect and sympathy of the entire
public, not single act of violence or
disorder being laid at their door. The
only trouble the non-union men experi.
enced in operating the cars was caused
by boys, over whom the strikers had no
control. Not single union man or
striker was arrested. AS to the course
of the management of the street car
company, Mr.. johnson a. all times
treated the representatives of the
strikers with respect and gave due con-
sideration to matters presented by
them. The adjustment OF the trouble
was great relief to the community
and 1T is acknowledged both MIR. John.
son as manager of the street car com,
pany and the strikers acted fairly in
the matter.

Restraining ORDER Granted.

Judge Williams, in federal court at
Little Rock, granted temporary re-
straining order against State Treasurer
Ihos. e. Little to prevent him from
listing to be destroyed seventy of the
new per cent bonds. provided for by
the last legislature for the reissuance
of the old per cents, which are to be
all burned. The order was made upon
application of the Farmers National
Bank of Hudson, y. Y. The plaintiff
holds twenty-five bonds of 81 900 each
which the state claims have been re-
deemed and burned. The last legisla-
ture passed an act providing for the re-
issuance of the old bonds in new per
cents, all the unused blank bonds to be
destroyed on May s, 1900. On May 4,
1900, plaintiff alleges it discovered it's
bonds were not listed as outstanding
debts against the state, and the follow
ing day presented the matter to the
state debt board, which admitted the
ownership of the bonds to be fully es.
tablished, but declined to issue new
bonds, deeming that under the funding
act it did not have power to issue bonds
for ones which had been destroyed.

examinations are required, and the

relate largely to the special type of

whether the operator has ever had
any accidents or not. etc.
