of the cotton belt, and the top crop is
short in Georgia and Florida, while re-
ports Of damage by boil worm are re-
ceived from Mississippi and Louisiana.
No improvement is noted in the late
crop in Texas, it having stopped grow
ing and blooming in the drought
stricken districts and is shedding and
rusting badly where rain fell.
1T was necessary on Tuesday to re-
open the incision that was made In the
presidents abdomen in following the
course Of the pistol ball through his
stomach, shortly after the shooting.
The wound began to itch and was
quite painful. The doctors cut the
stitches and washed it out. They af-
terward explained that in passing into
the presidents body the bullet carried
a piece Of his coast for distance of
about an inch. This was removed at
the time Of the operation; but the fact
that it had been there was sufficient to
leave cause for irritation. The incis-
sion was not sewed up again because
it was not considered necessary, the
healing process being in satisfactory
process.
Emma Goldman was taken before
a magistrate in Chicago last Wednes-
day for a preliminary hearing on the
charge Of having conspired against the
life Of the president. Her attorneys
were not present, being engaged in an
other court in behalf Of other anar-
chists who had been arrested on sim
liar charge. The defendant, however,
demanded an immediate hearing. The
prosecuting attorney asked for a con-
tinuance until September 10, stating
that he was looking for additional evil
dence from Buffalo, and, besides, if the
president should die the charge against
the defendant would be accessory to
murder. The magistrate granted the
continuance, and the defendant de-
manded the right to give bail; but the
question was postponed until Friday.
AT a largely attended meeting here
sided over by Bishop James A. Handy,
says a Baltimore dispatch Of Tuesday,
resolutions were adopted declaring that
the attempted assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley was 1.-The fruition Of the
seed Of tolerance of crimes too abhor-
ent and memorable against the native
citizen, as represented by Parker, the
probable preserver of the life of our
president" Parker was also referred to
as a representative Of 1.-The elected at
home, the regarded offal Of American
society,"" The resolutions further say
that "since Senator Benjamin Tillman
is, by his own avowals, an abettor Of
murder and rapine, it is hereby reques-
ted that he be expelled from the United
States senate, that the lives of our pub
lie officers be not further menaced by
the monstrosity Of his presence, the
perverseness Of his teachings and ex-
ample"
1t takes all kinds of people to make
a world, and they have all kinds Of
opinions about a given state Of facts.
During the past week the daily papers
have been reporting the cases Of nu-

ton, Ohio, for saying that they were
glad that Mckinley was shot. Thomas
F. Riley a constable of Milford, Mass,
was discharged from his position for
the same offense. A New York police
man was knocked down and beaten by
his fellow officers for expressing SYM
pathy with anarchists. A Philadelphia
laborer got his walking papers in a
like manner. Citizens of Plymouth,
Pa, have demanded the resignation Of
one of their aldermen for language of
the same kind. Dozens of otner cases
Of the same kind are being reported
from all parts of the country.
The fear Of anarchists is manifested
in the extraordinary uncertainty Of the
movements of the sovereigns who will
meet the czar during his present tour.
A meeting Of Emperor William, King
Edward and the czar is certain. The
czar and the king Of England, it has
been announced, will meet in Denmark;
but the exact time and place have been
studiously kept secret. The railway
and hotel officials at Homburg will hear
only, Of tho 10 ct roomont Whom the KING
will leave. Similar fears are the sole
obstacle to the visit Of Nicholas to Par
Is, although he is ready to run the risk.
The officials responsible for his safety
are making every effort to have his en-
tire tour through Europe so carefully
guarded that 1t will be Impossible for
harm to come to him. There are ugly
rumors af1oat that the czar's visit to
France will be made the occasion Of an
attempt to overthrow the government.
This is profoundly regretted by the
kaiser, who does not expect to see a
more peace loving administration in
France for many years. France, on the
other hand, is in terrible dilemma,
since the car s NlSlt to fdIlS Is great
feather in the present government s
cap. yet also a frightful risk. Univer-
sal fright in the official world is the
first result of every new move of impe-
rial personages nowadays.
