follows:
..The weather conditions of the week
ending August 26th, 1901, have been gen
orally favorable except in the Middle
and South Atlantic and East Gulf States

sections heavy rains have damaged crops
and interfered with work. and in some
districts washed lands and caused mum
dations. Drought conditions still prevail
in portions of Iowa, Oklahoma and Texas,
in the last named State becoming seri-
Gus in localities.
Continued improvement in the condi-
ton of late corn is generally reported
from the principal corn growing States
in the States of the Ohio Valley the
prospects for late corn are decidedly I'M
proved, in some sections fields previously
reported beyond recovery will be re-
claimed and the indications are that the
prospective yield will be largely in
creased.
The weather of the week has been
generally unfavorable for cotton. Com
plants of shedding and rusting are gen.
eraT throughout the entire cotton belt,
except in Missouri and Oklahoma, but in
Oklahoma the crop has been somewhat
damaged by hot, dry weather: some fla
vorable reports are, however, received
from Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana.
Cotton is backward and in poor condition
in Texas. although the late has i'm
proved where rain fell; opening quite
rapidly in portions of Georgia and Ala

States, as well as in many localities in
the western portion of the cotton region
Tobacco is in good condition in the

poets for this crop are generally favorable
in these States as well as in New York.
Drying tobacco was slightly injured in
Maryland by humid weather, and raIb
were unfavorable in Virginia.

The attraction announced for the Jeff ferson Theatre next Wednesday matinee and night is "The Burgomaster," the merry melange that scored so heavily in Chicago, where 1t run for one hundred and fifty-one performances to the banner record breaking business In theatrical history of the house in which 1t played.
 .The Burgomaster' is musical com edy, the libretto being by Frank Plxley 1t is fanciful, all the scenes are actual and two of the characters are historical Peter Stuyvesant, Governor of New Am Bterdan. and Doodle Won Kull, his secre- tary. With those two personages the story deals chiefly.
 "The Burgomaster'' Is made up of a prologue and two acts. The opening scene Is in New Amsterdam, where Stuyvesant is at outs with his own burghers who have been oyertaxed with the Indians, who are restless and troublesome, and with neighboring colonies of Swedes and British, who are encroaching upon Dutch territory. Peter, seeing that the accumu- lation of events is likely to overwhem him. has written to Holland rendering his resignation, and is expecting his success sor by the next ship.
 The first act shows upper Broadway in modern New York. opposite Madison Square. A gang of street repairers are tearing up the pavement, and In excavat- ing one of them comes across what he thinks Is the top of a telegraph pole It proves to be Stuyvesant's wooden leg.

 The second act opens at Coney Island, with the introduction of bathing girls and yachtsmen, and presenting a view of Talkington's dime museum Doodle, who has been under guard as a freak, gets away in his anxiety to escape the woman theosophst who claims him as her af- Unity.
 From Coney Island the party goes to Madison Square Garden to attend Mrs. Eplurgers vaudeville entertainment and cake walk, and then the hunt for Doodle is resumed.
 This involves a trip to Chicago. and ;he missing Dutchman is found at the court of honor at the Worlds Fair.
 The musical part of The Burgomaster" comprises over twenty numbers. The music Is of a distinctly popular nature, while possessing real merit in melody and good scoring for the orchestra, The great hit of the production is 'The Tale of the Kangaroo, which is placed in the first act. It is a trio. with chorus, and is ac- companied by moving figures and ingen:- ous light effects. In the same act the song for the pugilist and Bowery girls. the soubrettes' account of themselves and the finale ''The Liberty Girl" are strik- ing.
 The second act Is strong In Its cake walk scene and in the frolics on the beach. The prologue contains several choruses for the burghers, Indians and sailors.
 The illuminated court of honor of the Chicago Worlds Fair, the final scene of the piece, is an example of stage setting recalling It's famous original.
 The company Is a large one, compris- ing sixty operatic, burlesque, vaudeville and farce comedy stellar lights of the pro- fSssion. not excepting the, merry chorus.

kASSON NEEDED.

Washington, March 9.-The resignation of Mir. Kasson as special plenipotentiary, charged with the negotiations with re- ciprocity treaties and arrangements, was placed in the hands of the President by MT. Kasson before he left Washington for Florida yesterday. The President has withheld his acceptance, strongly urg- ing MT. Kasson to remain in the service of the government, and the matter is still In abeyance.
 While it is true that the action taken yesterday looking to the extension of the time of the period in which the French reciprocity treaty may be ratified at the instance of the French government and our government could not afford to dis regard a request of that kind. it Is also true that 1t marks Q determination on the part of the administration to renew the effort to carry some reciprocity trea- ties into being at the earliest opportune moment.
