Washington, Sept. 4.-The weather

ditions is as follows:
week ending September 2, 1901, have been
generally favorable in majority OF dis
tricts, heavy rains Gin some places excess
sive) have injured crops and retarded work
in portions of the south Atlantic ana quiz
states and dry, hot weather has been un-
favorable in the Missouri and upper Mis-
sissippi valleys and on the North Paclhc
coast. Extreme heat and drought in local
tiles of Oklahoma and Texas have also
been very detrimental to crops Cool
weather has retarded the maturing and
drying of fruit in California, and hght
frosts occurred in Nevada
Late corn continues to show improve
ment, although it was injured by drought
and heat in portions of Kansas; has SUI
fered further decline In MISSOURI and needs
rain in Nebraska. In Iowa corn is matur-=
ing rapidly, and the cutting of early plant
ed is general in all sections of this state,
and Missouri and the moro northeriy sec
lions, and is progressing rapidly IN Kan
sas Further improvement in late corn is
reported from the Ohio valley, but it has
suffered injury by floods on loWlands IN
Tennessee. Reports indicate that the bulk
of the late corn will be safe from injury
from frost by September IS to 20, but that
some very late fields will require until Oc.o-
Der 1 to fully mature the crop.
Spring wheat thrashing continues with
generally satisfactory yields, except In
North Dakota, where they are light and OF
poor quality, the berry being shrunken and
bleached.
Very favorable reports concerning tobac-
co are received from all sections except
Maryland, where it is not curing satisfac-
torily, and Virginia, where the yield is va
riable. Cutting is general. and the bulk

The condition of apples still continues
unpromising in nearly all sections. Some
improvement is reported from Kansas, and
fair to good crops are indicated in portions
of Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana and West
Virginia; elsewhere, apples are scarce and
generally of poor quality.
Soil conditions are favorable for blowing
and seeding, which are in progress and
usually well advanced in all districts, ex-
cept in Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma,
where the work has been retarded by
drought, and in portions of Virginia, where
it was interfered with by wet weather.

when one of the throng which sur
rounded the presidential party, a
medium-sized mn Of ordinary ap-
pearance and plainly dressed in
black, approached as if to greet the
president. Both Secretary Cortelyou
and President Milburn noticed that
the mans hand was swathed in
.bandage or hanokerchief. Reports Of
bYstanders differ as to which hand.
He worked his way amid the stream
of people up to the edge of the dais
until he was within two feet of the
president.
Fires the Shots.
President Mckinley smiled, bowed
and extended his hand in that spirit
of genialty the American people so
well know. when suddenly the sharp
crack of a revolver rang out loud and
clear above the hum of voices, the
shutting of myriad feet and vibrat-
ing waves of applause that ever and
anon swept here and there over the
assemblage.
There was an instant of almost
complete silence. The president
stood stock still, look of hesitancy,
almost of bewilderment on his face.
Then he retreated step, while a
pallor began to steal over his fea-
lures. The multitude, only partially
aware that something serious had
happened, paused in surprise while
necks were craned and all eyes
turned as one to the rostrum where
a great tragedy was being enacted.

selves forward, as with one impulse,

on the lookout and whose duty it
was to guar. against just such ca
lamity as had here befallen the presi-
a bystander, a negro who had only
an instant previously grasped in his
dusky palm the hand OF the presi-
dent. AS one man they hurled them
selves upon the presidents assailant.
In twinkling he was borne to the
ground, his weapon was wrested
from his grasp and strong arms pin
toned him down.
Goodness of the President.
But of the multitude which wit
messed or bore part in the scene of
turmoil and turbulence there was but
one mind which seemed to retain it's
equilibrium, one hand which remained
steady, one eye which gazed with un-
finching calmness and one voice which
retained its even tenor and faltered
not a the most critical juncture. They
were the mind and hand and the eye
and the voice of President Mckinley
After the first shock of the assassin's
shot he retreated a step; then, as the
detectives leaped upon his assailant,
he turned, walked steadily to chair
and seated himself, at the same time
removing his hat and bowling his head
in his hands.
Urged All to Be Calm.
In an instant Secretary Cortelyou
and President Milburn were at his
side. His waistcoat was hurriedly
opened, the president meanwhile adj
monishing those about him to remain
calm and telling them not to be
alarmed.
