Summary of Weather and Crop Report.

Following is the summary of crop conditions, as reported by the United States department of agriculture. Ar kansas section, for the week ending July 3: Excessively high temperature prevailed throughout the state during the week. Local showers fell in most sections, but were so light and scat tered that very little benefit to crops was derived therefrom. Early corn has been seriously damaged already, and if 1t does not rain soon the crop will be a total failure in many sec tions. Late corn is standing the dry weather better. Cotton has been in- jured to some extent. but as a rule it is doing fairly we'll. Irish potatoes have been injured, and in some locali- ties they are rotting in the ground. Fruit is beginning to wither and fall off in many places.

Ksfusss tn Annui Ten Ysar Convict Lease.
 At meeting 1f the state p.niten. tiary board. held on the 9th. Gov. Da. wis offered resolution to annul the contract entered into by former board with the Arkansas Brick Manu- featuring Company leasing certain number of convicts for a term of ten years. Gov. Davis stated that the warden in charge had made oath that the convicts were being worked ten to fourteen hours per day, and that an attempt had been made to bribe the warden to work the men even lon ger hours. In addressing the board in support of his resolution Gov. Da- wis said:
 That contract is vicious and un- conscionable as against the state. It is said that the legislature refused to repudiate it. That is only true as to the senate. The house repudiated this contract by an overwhelming majori- ty. The contract is illegal because It IS made for term of ten years be- yond the life of the board making it. and no well-informed lawyer would for minute contend that the present board has not the power to annul it. It Is said by the friends to the con tract that to annul it would be repu- diation. 1 say the state has the right to refuse to perform any contract which is vicious and unconscionable and against the best interests of our people. The lessees under this con tract would have the right to test the action of the board in anulling it in the courts of the country. The only question is as to who shall take the initiative--the state or the lesssees. l" Attorney General Murphy took the stand that the board should not set the precedent of annulling it's con- tracts, stating that the proper course to pursue would be to test the right in the courts of board to make leases for longer time than it's tenure of office. Col. Murphy declared the company referred to paid the same price for the convicts as others to whom they have been leased by the present board. Gov. Davis resolution was defeated. The vote stood For Gov. Davis and Secretary of State Crockett-2. Against-Attorney Gen eral Murphy. Commissioner Hill and Auditor Monroe.

The lower court held the act was constitutional. that the act did not embrace more than one subject, and that the University of Arkansas, being a state institution. the legisla- ture had supreme supervision over it's affairs.

Berlin. July i0.-It is reported that Andrew D. White. United States am bassador, will resign. Mir. Whites de- cision to resign was taken before the news of his sons suicide reached him, but it is believed that the sons death renders Mir. Whites decision irrevoca- ble.

Whites death, wired to Ambassador White, and received reply from Mrs. White, saying:
 Your telegram, fortunately, has not reached Mir. White. We have no details as get"
 The correspondent understands that Mr. White is greatly shocked and nervously depressed at the death of ms son. Mrs. White, therefore, fear ing the result upon her husband, has thus far withheld the news of their sons suicide. intending to gently break it to Mir. White.
 Telegrams of sympathy are being sent from Berlin to Sassnitz, one of the first being from Baron von Richt- hofen, the German foreign minister.
