Instructed Delegation to be Sent to
Kansas City.
New York. May 29.-John L. Carroll,
leader of Tammany Hall in the absence
of Richard Croker, gave out the fol-
lowing carefully prepared statement
last night:
II do not believe that the attitude Of
the Tammany Hall organization at the
state convention will be either doubt
full or equivocal. AS far is l have been
able to consult with the representative
men of the organization, they entirely
accord with my view OF both the pro-
priety and the expediency of sending to
the national convention delegation
Instructed for William j. Bryan as the
.presidentialsca candidate.
1T is safe to say that every delegate
will favor the program and whatever
influence may possess will be exerted
to impress the desirability of its adop-
ton upon the delegates from the other
localities in the state S
Mr.. Carroll declined to add n word to
the statement, but it is understood 1t
was Issued with Mr.. Croker's sanction.
1t is stated that the Tammany and
Brooklyn democrats resent ex-senator
Hills attempt to rehabilitate himself as
a leader in state politics and that there
exists thorough understanding be-
tween the Bryan managers and the
New York City democrats.

WEATHER AND CROPS

Light Showers Unequally Distrib-

Now Noticeable.
Corn Planting Generally Finished
and Cultivation Well Begun
Crop Conditions.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, May 29.-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin was
issued today as follows:
The past week was warmer than usu-
al, with more than the average amount
of sunshine. and less than the normal
rainfall. The daily excess of tempera-
.ture ranged from two to six degrees.
The rainfall was in the form of light
showers. very unequal!y distributed;
and in the districts where it was def
ciert in the preceding week the effect
of dry weather is beginning to be noted.
The weather conditions We're very fa-
vorable for finishing planting corn, and
work of cultivation is now We'll begun;
the stand is fairly good, and the condi-
ton of the crop is generally quite prom
lsing; better, in fact, than the average
in past years for the closing week in
May. The area planted appears to be
n full average, and may prove to be in
excess of last years acreage.
The condition of spring wheat, oats
ard barley is generally very good. The
hay crop is quite variable. averaging
much better in the southern than. in the
northern half of the state. The winter
killing Of clover has injured meadows
ard pastures to some extent in all dis
tricts. And numerous reporters note
the fact that the hay crop is short in
their localities as a result of deficient
rainfall. In the southern belt, where
grass is an important staple. the crop
of hay and timothy promises to be a
full average

The president and the secretary of
agriculture are alive to the situation
and are dong everything In their power
to secure favorable consideration at the
hands OF the German government anu
are extremely hopeful that they will
meet with success. AS already stated
in these dispatches, the administration
is reluctant to start commercial war;
fare between Germany and the United
States and hence does not care to dis
icuss the question of retaliation while
the Objectionable legislation is pending
in Germany.
Those who have studied the situation
contend 1t is not necessary to enact any
further legislation in order to enable
this government to retaliate against
Germany or other nation which sees

Congress May Take Action to Offset

Washington, May 29.-There is
strong sentiment in congress in favor
of retaliating against Germany for
legislation now pending in that country
which will exclude American meats.
The course to pursue which meets with
the most favor is to impose an addi-s
tional tax on all farm products and
manufactures coming from Germany
into this country. Members of the Ma
tional Live Stock Association, who.
claim to represent interests involving
5000 GOO. 900, are in Washington urging
that something be done before congress
adjourns to enable the president to re-
taliate against Germany If 1t enacts
legislation adverse to American inter-
asts

imposition of additional duties on i'm
ports from Germany. 1t provides that
whenever the president is informed
that the German government has
passed IA law imposing prohibitive
duties on meat products which may be
imported into that country from the
1 United States he shall issue a procla-
nation fixing a time when all articles
produced or manufactured in the Ger
| man empire, when entered for con-
sumption at the ports of the United
States, shall pay a duty of 10 per cent
in excess OF the duties imposed thereon
prior to the passage Of this act. and a
such products and manufactures. when
so entered for consumption after the
time fixed by the president, shall pay
the increased duty.
