Washington. d. G., June Mrs. Nc.
kinley Goa tinues very weak. Her coud1 .

yesterday, but each day that clap es with
out gain in strength lessons her powers OF
recuperation. The complaint which came
near ending her life in San Francisco Is
still present. 1t 10 In q slightly less aggra

the President much cOncern.
Mrs. Mckinley has shown remarkable
vitality, but her illness has SO reduced her
strength as 10 leave her very feeble In
deed. 1t il feared that unless change
for the better soon manifeSts itself, her
strength may become so near exhausted
as to leave her without rallyinR power.
The news given out by the physicians in
attendance today was not reassuring.
though hope OF better things still contir-
ues. After Il consuta tion between Drs.
Rixey, S ernberg and Johnston, the FOL
lowing bulletin was issued:
Mrs. Mckinley passed comfortable
night hut her condition has not materl-
ally changed since the report OF yester.
day.
There was no further con ultarions of
the physi ms during the day, but Dr.
Rixey called during the evening and spent
some lime with the patient In response
to inquiries from time to time the siate-
msnt was made that there had been no
change in the condition OF the patient.

GEO. H. PHILLIPS, writing OF the
value of cor as cerealsays: Corn
10 the great. distinctive American
crop. 1t belongs as much to this
aoil az does the red man himself.
From the Mexican border to the
hills of Maine. from the shores OF
Puget Sound tothe swamps of Flor
ida, corn literally covers our coun.
try with a green and fruitful man.
tile.
Meantime, from corn has grown
an industry OF large proportions
and national importance; the man
ufacture of ''grape sugar or "glu-
cose." This recent industry now
consumes from so, 900, 600 to 90, 0O0.-
900 bushels OF corn, each year, or
more than double the capacity of
all the glucose plants 10 existence
five years ago. How much of this
new product has been paid tor by
foreign nations? This is an inter-
esting question. In 1890 the United
States reported 50, 900, 900 pounds of
glucose WOt III SCoV,oOV, III IS|o
the volume increased to III 900, 900
pounds worth $2,772.000; and in
1900 we sold to foreign nation 8
222.0O0,000 pounds worth 50, 900, 600.
Meantime our exports OF starch in
creased from $47o, 900 in 1890 to
81, 604, 900 last year. The volume
of increase in the export Of glucose
and it's products is only fraction
Of the increase IN the domestic use
Of all these articles, Corn meal
exports increased from S947. 900 in
1891 to s., las, 900 in 1900. In add.
lion, We send abroad every year in
corn fed meats the equlvalen. OF
800, 000,0 900 bushels.
Not more than '2o per cent OF the
.orn raised on American fields goes
IN its natural state, out OF the coun-
lies in which it Is grown. The val
ae of the country s corn cropin 1900
was $751;, 900. 600 atfarm prices; the
total wheat crop was valued at
1924, 600, 900 and the value OF all the
cereals in the United States, includ-
ing wheat was 1855, 900. 900. Sure
y corn is going to be king instead
Of wheat, while cotton at one time
enjoyed the distinction.

THE Republican party won in the

Of total Of some $4,000 voters reg
stored, only a little over 1000
'oted. The most important body
which should have been secured by
he Republicans was City Council,
put this, by some foollshness on the
part Of the party managers, was
:urned over to the Democrats by |
majority The Ninth and Twelfth
wards, which are nomlnally Repub-
.ican, elected Democrats. In the
Twelfth ward, number OF men
calling themselves Republicans,
would not vote because they were
not paid so much piece for their
votes. The control of City Council
would have benefited the Republi.
ian party more than the election Of
anv other officers. Somebody was
10 blame Tor the way the campaign
was man aged, and the public should
know it. If the Democrats had
shown any aggressiveness, they
would have been victorious and
elected every candidate OH theiI
ticket. with the exception OF the
Collector and Assessor IN the North
ern District. With the cutting OF
the Republican ticket and those
who held out for a money consider
alton, if they had given the ticket
their loyal support, the majority
would have been nearer 1000 than
400. But this is now history and
