fence. a
Cronburg, Aug. 1O.-The remains Of
the Dowager Empress Frederick were
placed in casket yesterday morning.
The empress in her last written direc-
tons asked that the funeral might be
of the most simple kind, but there is
no reference in them to the torchlight
procession that will take place ON Sat-
urday and is entirely the kaiser's idea.
1t has very much astonished the older
courtiers, whose quiet, sedate appear
ance contrasts strangely with the
snowy, gold bedecked followers of the
new court. They seem almost over
whelmed by the crash and rattle of the
resent epoch. The kaiser has taken
over the entire management of the
funeral only giving his orders at the
last moment, so that they have to be
very much hurried through. The Sum
day service in the chapel will be the
lutheran service. King Edward will
be present and will stop at Friedrichs-
hof with his suite.

Crop.
Madison, Wis, Aug. 10. = According
to Secretary John M. True. Of the state
board of agriculture, who has been in
vestigating the crop conditions Of the
state, the yield in Wisconsin this year
will be but Is per cent of the average
in consequence of the drouth. Half of
the tobacco grown in the state is raised
in Dane county. The normal crop this
fall should be 25,00OO0O pounds, worth
s1,550,00O. Should the crop be but Is
per cent of the average, it would mean
but 100000, loss to the farmers Of
Dane county alone of s1,100,O0O.
Other crops have suffered in proper
ton, and the estimates of percentage
on full crop are: Spring wheat, 90;
barley, 30; oats, go; corn, 20; potatoes,
Is; wild hay, 80; apples. 20. The loss
of corn crop in the seventeen southern
counties of the state affected by the
drouth is estimated at 12,400,0O0 BUSH
els; the loss Of oats in the same coun-
ties, 10,375,000 bushels. Great interest
is conferred in the Wisconsin potato
crop because Of its usual large YIELD. =

Francisco. He will sail from San

on the subject to President Mckinley,
asking the cooperation of the army
and civil officers in the Philippines.
"It is not immediate independence we
ask" he said, but we want it as
Cuba gets it-when a stable govern
ment has been established. We have
no thought of interfering in any way
with the other interests which the
United States has in the islands, but
we want to govern ourselves"
