THE CUBAN ELECTORAL LAW.
viii be by the Constitu-
tfonal Convention During the
Present Week.

Havana, July During the com
ing week the Constitutional conven-
ton will discuss the electoral law.
The project submitted by the commits.
sion provides only for the election of
congressman, governors, state repre-
sentatives, mayors and councilmen.
No agreement has been reached as to
whether or not to elect the president
and senators by direct popular vote.
The discussion of the electoral law
will undoubtedly open up an argu-
ment by the conservatives against a
federal republic with many provincial
officers as entailing heavy eXpendi-
lures. The conservatives will oppose
granting absolute autonomy to the
provinces and municipalities. An eff
fort will be made to change the con.
stitution, and to invest the central
government with appointive and veto
power.
Universal suffrage seems to be a
popular movement, but the general
opinion is that it will be impossible
to get the convention to change the
form of voting.
Gov.-Gen. Wood is improving, but
his physicians advise him to desist
from public duties for q time. He re-
ceived the cabinet secretaries Satur-
day and yesterday.

MISSOURI CROP P O
with the Exception OF I'm the Two
Northern Tier OF Counties the
Outlook is Discouraging.

Columbia, No., June 25.-The United
States department. of agriculture,
climate and crop bulletin of the
weather bureau, Missouri section. for
the week ending June PA, 1901, says.
The week just closed has been the
warmest of the season, the mean tenn
perSture ranging from 5 90 8 degrees
above the normal. Maximum temper
atures of 100 degrees and above oc-
Cured at many points in the central
and southern counties IN the 23d and
23d. Copious showers have fallen in
most of the extreme northern eoun-
ties, and in "a few scattered locali-
ties in other sections, but over nearly
all that portion OF the state south of
the two northern tiers of counties the
rainfall was too light to be of any
benefit, and the drought continues
with increased severity.
In the extreme northern counties
corn is growing finely, oats and mead
ows have improved considerably in
many places, pastures are generally
good and minor crops are doing we'll;
elsewhere the outlook is extremely
discouraging. In u few of the central
and southern counties corn is making
good progress and looks well, but in
most counties of those sections, while
standing the drought better than any
other crop, it's condition is far from
satisfactory, and in many counties
it is suffering SEVERELY. In a number
of the southern counties it is also
being seriously injured by chillch
bugs. In the central and southeast
ern counties some fields have been
laid by. Except i'll the extreme north
ern counties, and in a few localities
in the eastern sections, there has
been no improvement in the general
condition Of oats and meadows, pas
lures are burning up, and complaints
of a scarcity of water T becoming
more general. Considerable stock is
being shipped to market on account
of the scarcity of pasturage and wa
ter. Wheat cutting is generally com
pleted in the southern, is nearly COM
pleted ip the central, and is in prog
ress in the northern counties. In
many localities the yield will be the
best for some years. Stacking AMI
t~hreshing has commenced in the
southern sections. Dat cutting has
commenced in the southwestern
counties. Cotton, in the southeastern
counties, is making excellent progress,
and is beginning to bloom, but will
need rain 20 In portions of Penis
scot, however, the stand is not good.
In fancy county the crop is suffering
for rain. Melons are doing finely in
DunkliH county. Some tobacco has
been set in Putnam county, and is
doing well. There is no improvement
in the condition of fax. Early pota-
toes promise well in some districts,
but in general the crop will be very
light. Apples continue dropping to "a
considerable extent, and there is also
some complaint that peaches are
dropping. Blackberries are rapidly
drying up. 4. E. HACKETT,
Section Director.

of the Platte river the dry weather
was preceded by a week of rains, and
no damage has been done there.

TRADE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
q ,me Interesting Figures Made PuS-
lie In n by the
War Department.

| Washington, July LA marked IN
| crease IN the traSe of the Philippine
islands during the calendar year OF
$500 over the of h Prev
| Gus year, is set out in a statement
made public yesterday by the division
of insular affairs OF the war depart
ment.
The value of imported merchandise,
geld and silver. FOR 1860 is set down ~
| S27, 1851 3 This according to the val
departments statement, was the
| greatest Importation for any lngie
year in the history of the archipeiago'
In 1889 the imports amounted TO S@o'-
440,G74 in value, thus showing an IN
crease of nearly thirty-siS per cent. IN
favor of 1900.
Accordingto an estimate based uPoE
data collected by the British cohSu,
at Manila, the approximate value OF
| imports into the Philippine lsianos
for 1895 was S7,916,6oO; for 1896, S9'-
29a. 500. and for 1897. $~9,12o,000.
During the five years lsS7-ls9l the
! average annual value of imports from
the United States 10 @lou'.
6e2: during the FIVE years ls92-ie9e
the average annual imports
| to SI36.2ao: in 1899 the imports were
S1,357.ss4. and in 1900 S2,153,19s.
The total imports from China ana
Hong Kong for 1900 70 @s'
5S6,443. and for 1899, $9,0S1,634
1t has been shown as regards the
! statistics of imports into the lslahus
, from the United States. that they 40
| not include a large amount OF mer-
| chandise that is imported indirectly
including such staples as wheat nour'
, meat products, cotton MANUFACTURE
/ and many other articles. A large pro-
| portion Of this trade is recorded dc
imports from Hong Kong, when are
! undoubtedly re-eNported from mat
, port to the islands. i.
The imports from the United States
direct for 1900 show an increase OF
$S01 ,344 over those of 1899, while the
imports from Hong Kong in 19oO snow
a material decrease from the estimate
ed figures Of 1890.
This would indicate that, as the
shipping facilities in Manila harbor
are being improved direct shipments
to Manila are increasing. and that
