SUMMARY.

The heaviest rains Of the seasonsfel1 the past week, and
coming just after the previous heavy ones of June, have
completely saturated the soil in an parts Of the state, and
in portions of the Red rivervalley, as we'll as some other
scattered sections, have flooded the low lands to such an
extent that they look like small lakes, and have damaged
the crop considerably. -.
Wheat is still doing well, although the stalk is getting
a rank growth, and IS beginning to lodge in some parts.
The early wheat is mostly headed out, but no reports
as to the size Of the heads have been received. - h,
Flax still continues poor and has further deteriorated
during the week, theswet weather being very unfavorable
for il. In some sections it is being plowed under, and at
the present promises a very poor crop. ~...ss~,~ Ii
Corn is about the poorest Of everything this season; it
came up thin, and on account of continued rains and cool
weather has made but slow growth, while the land has

Oats are only fair; rye and barley good, as are fodder

Some slight damage has been done. BY hail at widely
separated places. Grasshoppers continue numerous, but
have done but little damage. ~%

the devices thereof mean money in
somebody's pocket. Whether the chill
dren in our schools learn arithmetic
any sooner by a patent system than
their fathers did by studying the old
fashioned text book is hardly to be
known but it is certain that the charts,
books, and other appliances Of the new
system prove profitable to the manu-
facturer. Such publishers have a great
advantage over other book publishers
and manufacturers of toys for children.
They have not to depend upon an un-
certain and varying custom. They get
their orders from the school commit
tees, whom they have been able to i'm
press with the desirable qualities of
their goods, and the orders are large.
1t is the teachers who have to bear
the burden and heat of the day. If they
only had to teach the children to read,

hard; but when they are expected to

SUMMER RUSH FOR EUROPE.
More Than 1,4OO Passengers on the
Kaiser Wilhelm Yesterday

NEW YORK, April 3G.-The summer
rush for Europe began this morning with
the sailing of the North German Lloyd
steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, in
command of Capt. II. Englebart The big
vessel had more than 1,400 passengers
Fully 5000 people were on the pier to see
their friends off, and 1t was ten min
utes past the sailing time before the Of
ficers could clear the ship of those who
were not booked as passengers
Nine. Sarah Bernhard Constant Coque-
lin, and Jean and Edouard de Resxke were
among those who were early aboard
David Bispham was accompanied by his
manager, Mr.. Hirschberg About five min
utes before the time set for sailing J. j.
Iiill, President of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, hurried down the pier, and had
difficulty in convincing the officers at the
gang-plank that they ought to allow him
to go aboard to bid his daughters good
bye. Perry Belmont, accompanied by Mrs
Belmont. retired to their rooms to avoid
the crush on the decks, but the Countess
Cassini, the niece and adopted daughter
Of the Russian Ambassador a Washing
ton, secured a point of vantage on the
promenade deck and watched the crowds
with interest.

THE NEW CUBAN TARIFF.
An Effort to Reduce the Tax on
Sugar-Making Machinery.

officials OF the War Department are by
no means sure that the new Cuban tariff
npon which the commission Is now at
work, VIII go into effect by July l. Thirty
days must elapse between its promuIga-
ton and its taking effect, and the public
hearings have only just ended. Every
few days now patches OF letters. contain
ing suggestions, complaints, criticisms
ETC. bearing upon the proposed changes
are forwarded 20 General Bates
The making of this . III is bringing out
many complications, even though il may
not be one of long duration Sugar
making machinery is taxed 20 per cent un-
der the present tariff and an effort is be-
Ing made to reduce il, as well as on all
other things which would aid Cuban
growers In their competition for this and
other markets But what they most de-
sire Is some form of reciprocity without
which their Industrial outlook Is not fat
tering
If that has TO be secured through a
treaty requiring the ratification OF the Sen
ate, the beet-sugar interest expects TO de-
feat them. Beet-sugar has gained a foot
hold in twenty-six States, and so would
control their Senators, IL Is believed Su-
gar consumers, not being a special inter
est, are naturally unrepresented.
Concern IN the forthcoming tariff chiefly
centres in Its provisions relating to the
sugar industry as perhaps foreshadowing
American action upon the larger issues
which this same product may provoke.

Gold and other minerals are 10 found in

These islands. rich beyond comparison,

THE SUPREME COURTS ACTION
comment on the Admission of senior
Degefnu 10 Practice

The action Of the United States Supreme
Court on Monday in admitting to prac-
tice, on motion OF Solicitor General Rich
ards. FREDERICK Degetau. resident com
missioner OF Porto Rico. has caused a
great deal OF comment in legal circles
Lawyers who practice before that tribu-
nal expressed the opinion generally yes
terday that in granting the motion OF the
Solicitor General TO admit to practice be-
fore the court the Porto Rican commits
sioner. the United States Supreme Court
20 some extent foreshadowed It's decision
In the insular. or. as II is better known.
the Porto Ricsn tariff case. Attention
was called to the fact that under the Law.
which Solicitor General Richards must
nave known. only citizen OF the United
states can be admitted TO practice before
the Supreme Court. and the law under
Which the commissioner Of Porto Rico
noids his office specifically declares that
the commissioner must be native of
Porto Rico
1t is contended By the LAWYERS that II
Porto Rico is not a Territory of the
United States. in the same sense az the
District of Columbia or any OF the other
Territories, then the Porto Rican com
missioner is not eligible for admission to
practice before the court. If the United
States Supreme Court holds, as it's action
on Monday is thought to indicate, that
the Porto Rican commissioner is a citi-
zen of the United States. then it must
necessarily follow, the lawyers say, that
the court viii decide the Porto Rican tar
if case against the Government. The
argument was also advanced that the de-
cision in the insuiar cases would not be
handed down until next December when
congress VIII be in session. and imme-
dlate legislation can be enacted TO con-
form to the decision of the court
IL was pointed out that If the court s
decision was in favor Of the Government
contention that the Porto Rican tariff
was constitutional, then there would be
no occasion for holding back the decision
Dut on the other hand il the decision IS
adverse to the United States, there would
be every reason for delay In handing
down the opinion of the court because
to announce the decision at this time
would necessitate an extra session of
Congress.
The question Of citizenship relative to
Porto Ricans came before the Civil Ser |
vice Commission some weeks ago. when
q native of that island made application |
TO take civil service examination The |
matter was referred to Mr.. Proctor, Presi- |
dent of the Commission and in advance
Of the United States Supreme Court he |
held that citizens of Porto Rico were citi- |
.ens of the United States, and therefore |
eligible TO take the examination. The rule |
of the Commission, as approved by the |
president. confines civil service examina-
lions to citizens of the United States
only few years ago a prominent Ca |
madam lawyer sought admission to prac- |
lice before the Supreme Court but he was
1ented the privilege on the ground that |
ne was not citizen of the United States. /
