The general theory is that Bristol
was somnambulist, and that willie
walking in his sleep he seized Cressy.
and the latter, believing him to be a
burglar, struggled, gained possession
Oh the revolver, and fired. Bristol
nad evidently gone around the bed to
Cressy's side before the struggle be-
gan. There are some singular features
IN the case, but there appears to be
no reason to believe the shooting to
be anything but accidental. 1t would
naturally be supposed that Bristol
would nave been aroused when the
struggle began, but he may have been
frightened, and not have realized fully
the situation until after he was wound
ed.
Cressy went through the ordeal Of
talking with the officials and physi-
clans with good control but it is said
that during the forenoon.he has shown
in very decided degree the effects of
the great strain upon him Cressy's
parents in Hartford were notified early
this morning. Little is known in re-
gard to Bristol's family. Cressy re-
members that his mother visited him
while he was at Yale. kilograms have
been sent to Battle Creek and an effort
is now being made to get a trace of
his family. The inquest will not take
place until tomorrow, Saturday, as
States Attorney Weston, who is in
Boston, cannot reach here until that
time. Justice T. ]. B. Cudworth as
coroner viewed the body this morning.
An autopsy was performed by Drs. Mil
Ter, Conland, Holton and Webster.
The autopsy showed two bullet
wounds in the body. One of these was
in the shoulder and was superficial,
involving only the skin and the tissues
Immediately underneath. The wound
in the bowels severed an artery and
caused death by homorrhage. The
bullet which caused this wound was
found imbedded in the tissues.

Damage by Drought in the West.

Alarming reports have come during
the last two weeks of damage to the
crops, especially to corn, by the dis
astrous drought which has prevailed
over a wide territory, mainly in
Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Up
to the end of last week there had been
no rain over this wide section, ex-
cept an occasional local shower, for
six or eight weeks, and for two weeks
the extreme heat of a scorching sun
had intensified the damage by the
drought. During the present week
there have been rains which
have relieved the situation somewhat
The present estimate is that the corn
crop will be reduced by one-fourth
and other cereal crops, with the ex-
ception of wheat, which is already
harvested, will suffer in proportion.
In 1900 the corn crop was in round
figures 2,100,000,000 bushels, and the
prospect was, until the drought came,
that the crop of 1901 would be equally
large. The estimate of loss to the
farmers is from $1OO,OOO,OOO to $780,
100000.
There has been a sharp and steady
advance in the price of corn for the
past fortnight. Wheat and other ce-
reals have also advanced in price,
The loss on corn and other cereals will
be made up in part by the wheat crop
of 700,OO0,0OO bushels, which is the
largest ever gathered in this or any
other country The largest previous
wheat crop was 675,OOO,OOO bushels in
1898

War department officials who have
had in charge the preparation of the
Philippine tariff estimate that it will
bring in a revenue of $1O,OOO,OOO the
first year. Their aim has been to
lower the duties on necessities and to
open the doors of the Philippines to
American trade.
The total imports by the United
States during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1901, amounted to $S22,756,-
533, and the total exports were $1,4S7,-
656, ,544, an excess of exports over i'm
ports of $664,9OO,O11. The imports are
$27,1S4,651 below those of last year,
and the exports $9S, ,173, ,462 above those
of last year. The excess of exports
over imports exceeds that Of last year
by $12O,S5S,113, and is $40, ,467, 1886
greater than the highest record ever
before made, that of 1898.

The Boston & Maine railroad has
abandoned local trains between
Northampton and Amherst, the com
petition of the electric line making
sucn traffic improbable. The trolleys
have also taken large part of the
local business between Norwich and

system has evidently adopted the pol
icy of acquiring possession of the lines
of electric street railway along it's
