WEEKLY CROP REVIEW,
Conditions as Reported to Weather
Bureau.

The weather bureaus weekly general
summary of crop conditions is as follows:
The temperature conditions of the week
ending May in nearly all districts east
of the Rocky mountains have been highly
favorable, but 1t has been too dry over
the greater part of the gulf and south At
lantic states, as Well as In portions of the
lake region and central valleys. The mid
die Atlantic states and the northern por-
lions of the upper Mississippi and Mis-
souri, valleys have experienced an eXcep-
tionally favorable week. 1t has been
rather cool on the Pacific coast, but as
whole the conditions were favorable. Very
beneficial rains phenomenany heavy in
places, have fallen over the central pla-
teau region and eastern Rocky mountain
slope
Corn planting has progressed rapidly in
the central valleys, has begun in the ex-
IRENE northern districts and is about fin
1shed as far north as the Carolinas, Ten
nessee and Arkansas. In the southern
states poor stands are extensively report
ed, and the crop is generally in need Of
rain, although somewhat improved as COM
pared with it's condition at the close of
the previous week
The reports respecting winter wheat are
still favorable, except over portions of
Texas. Oklahoma and southeastern Kan
Sas, where damage by insects continues
and in Michigan, where the crop is very
On the Pacific coast especially in Califor-
mia, the weather conditions have been
highly favorable to winter wheat.
The bulk Of the spring wheat crop has
been sown, and the early sown is in prom
Using condition. In Minnesota, however,
stooling has been somewhat retarded by
abnormally high temperature.
The oat crop is generally suffering for
rain in the southern states, and damage
from insects continues in Texas, Okla homa,
Arkansas and portions of Illinois. In the
Ohio valley, middle Atlantic states and
generally in the upper Mississippi and Mis-
souri, valleys the crop is in promising con-
dition.
Rains are very generally needed through
out the cotton belt to terminate the very
large part of the crop replanted since the
cold of April Is, some of which,. however,
is coming up to good stands, especially in
the eastern districts. While planting has
been delayed by dry weather in Texas this
work has made good progress elsewhere,
and is nearly completed over the northern
portion of the central districts. There is
extensive complaint of scarcity of seed.
Owing to dry weather no tobacco has
been transplanted in South Carolina but
plants are generally plentiful In this and
other tobacco growing states.
The fruit outlook continues encouraging
generally in all districts.

Poison Bottles With Histories.

Enough poison to kill half the iuha bitauts
of Manhattan has been stored away in the
coroners office. There were more than a
thousand packages and bottles and back
of every grain or drop of the deadly stuff
lies story. Under an old law the chief
clerk of the board of coroners is respousi-
BILE for all poisous that reach the office
Where suicide has been accomplished by
pistol or knife, the weapon generally finds
it's way to the public administrator, who
later sells it at auction. Whenever poison
is used, however. whatever is found in
the bottle or package near the victim is
sent to the coroners office, where 1t is
stored away as evidence" Every time
the coroners move from one office to an
other the poisonS go with them.
The chief clerk said he believed It posi-
BILE to find every conceivable kind of story
in the lot of poisons. Take this one, for
example, said he, as he held up a short
after reading the name, who was reputed
to be the nephew of a former governor of
the state. He was married and lived hap
PLY with wife and two children. Ill luck
came his way. He lost money and posi-
ton and one day. he found himself penni-
less. He left the house in the evening
after kissing his vile and saying he would
find position before the day was over or
do something desperate. He failed to find
the position. Along in the afternoon he
snatched a pocket book from woman. She
screamed. Policemen gave chase and after
d DIleI run ne was captured, ONLY to fall
dead at the polceman's feet In that short
run he had swallowed some of the most
deadly poison known One by one the
chief clerk pointed out the bottles that had
been moved. He know something of the
story of each, from those which had been
connected with the Tenderloin Suicide CIuh
to those which had been found In the sui.
eide halls Of the East Side in the marks
and hotels One hundred years from now
the labels and bottles may still be there
to tell the story of lone more unfortunate

Mysterious Policy Agent.
A close-mouthed Dtle man of shifty eve
takes his stand in the shadow of a certain
east New York street corner at
just O'Clock every morning, To
him come struggling groups of la.
borers on their way to work, office
boys, clerks and street car men, Delivery
wagons draw up to his curb, and even
chattering shop girls slip slyly across to his
side of the street. With each of these the
quiet little man exchanges a. few hurried
whispers, and, as they turn away makes
a note on slip Of greasy paper, digs his
fists deep in his overcoat pockets and
whistles.
Time was when it was not a street cor
ner, but the back room of a neighborins
cigar store, where he conducted his mys-
FERROUS business with his clients There

SCAN FRANCISCO, June "A fleet
of sugar vessels made port yesterday,
and the rehneries should now have
enough of the raw material to keep
them going for a few weeks. over TO-
600 tons of the sweet stuff came in on
the fleet, and was distributed as fol-
lows:
snip Title f. starbuck IS days from
Honolulu, 540Y4 sacks barkentine Will
liam II. Dimond. Is days Hilo, 1O,400

days Honolulu, 26,4O0 sacks; bark r. +.
Rithea, q days Honolulu, 81, 500 sacks,
and ship Falls of Clyde, 16 days Hilo,
50,3l3 sacks
The best run was made by the four
masted Bark Falls of clyde. and Cap
tain Matson says if it had not been for
ahoodoo he would have made port three
days ago.
we made a splendid run of twelve
days to Hilo' said the Clyde's folly
master, 'and l fully expected to come
home in thirteen days or less. The
crew swears we would have done It. too
had it not been for three hoodoos. First
we sailed on a Friday Jack passed
that over until he counted noses and
found we had thirteen passengers aboard
Then the men swore by Neptune that
there would be trouble before the voy-
age was over.
Three days out from Hilo hawk
came aboard and stayed with the ship
for four days. How the bird got so far
out to sea is a, mystery. We were all
of 700 miles from land and that is
long fly, even for a hawk When the
sailors saw the L.rd tney felt better, and
said it had been sent to take away the
hoodoo. For four days the bird stayed
around, and during that time 1 never
had better sailing weather in my life.
Every stitch of canvas drew, and for
ninety-four hours the men never took a
pull on a brace. Then one night the
hawk disappeared, and for a week we
had battling winds that would have
made saint swear. What became of
the bird is a mystery, but maybe he
flew to some other vessel of the sugar
fleet.
with the disappearance of ale hawk
all the mems superstitions came back;
but everything moved along quietly I'M
til last Saturday night, when a gale
came up in a few minutes. A big sea
flooded the decks and washed all the
rope ends out through the portfolios.
Before the men could get hold of the
braces the pressure of the sail broke
the fore topgallant yard in the sling,
one of the lower topsails split, jib
was blown out of the bolt-ropes, and
l was nearly washed out of the jigger
rigging. l was aloft looking for the
Farallone light when the wave climbed
around me and gave me soaking from
which my clothes are still wet. 1t blew
so hard that under topsails we were
making ten knots. so 1 had to heave the
ship and wait for morning. The men
are satisfied now. They know that
three hoodoos meant some mishap, and
Saturday nights breeze has convinced
them they were right"
Among those who came up on the
Falls of Clyde are S. G. Walker and
wife, Miss NJ. Margetts, Miss Hilton.
John Akau, and H. l.. Achilles and

STATUS Of cOLON|ALS
ARE ENTITLED TO PROTECTION
OF UNCLE SAM
Passports Issued to Filipinos by Lon
don Embassy-Ruling Applies to
Guam, Philippine and Porto Rico.

WASHINGTON, June LIN answer
to his application for instructions. Sec
rotary Hay has directed ambassador
Choate at London to issue passports to
the two Filipinos who appeared at the
Embassy yesterday las residents of
the Philippine Islands. and as such en-
titled to the protection of the United
States" The decision upon this point
is of Importance as having perhaps
some bearing upon the status of the
people of the Philippines, Porto Rico
and Guam. 4aAA
A year ago the decision was reached
to regard the Porto Ricans as entitled
to the protection conveyed by an Anne
rican passport but a formal decision
of the test case was prevented through
the withdrawal of the application. The
Foraker act determined the right of
Porto Ricans. as citizens of Porto
Rico, to the protection of the United
States Government. 1t is not held that
the Spooner law conveys the same pri-
vilege to the inhabitants of the Philip
pines.
The United States statutes prohibit
the issue of passport to any but Anne
rican citizens. But those later acts
the Foraker act and the Spooner act,
impose obligations in their turn, which
may be regarded as qualifying the
original act and may enable the Gov
eminent to avoid a decision upon the
question of American citizenship of the
islanders. At any rate the circular in
structions in preparation, which will
be sent out to all diplomatic representa-
tives, will direct them to issue not GER
tihcates, but genuine American pass
ports to the islanders.
LONDON, June 1.-The officials of the
United States Embassy state that the
act Of granting a passport to the Fill
pino who applied for one yesterday had
TO be referred to Washington, as ii was
the first time such an application had
been made by person of this nation
ality. The Filipino desired to travel in
Russia and, though the applicant took
the oath of allegiance to the United
States in Spanish and English, the EN-
bassy considered 1t advisable to sub
nit the matter by cable to Washington.

NORTHERN PACIFIC ROW
CONTENDING PARTIES AND
THEIR SETTLEMENT.
A Vast Combination of all Railroads
Between the Mississippi and the Pa
cific Now Reported.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The Press to-
morrow will say that one tremendous
consolidation of the railroads operating
between the Mississippi river and the
Pacific Coast promises to result from a
settlement of the differences which
caused the Northern Pacific corner.
The Press will say that it lis able to
announce on the highest authority that
not only have the differences been set
tied between the Morgan-Hill faction
and the Hartman party regarding the
Burlington deal, and the relations of
that road and the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern with the Union Pa
cific," but also that the st. Paul, the
Chicago and Northwestern and the CHI
cago Great Western VIII be taken care
of in the great harmonizing scheme in
the trunk lines of the West.
Exact details of the harmony agree
ment are withheld until j. p. Morgan
arrives from Europe. He will sail for
this country tomorrow. James j. Hill,
who has been his representative in the
Northern Pacific conflict and in the
practical management of the Morgan
Hill railroads, has remained silent, CIV
ing to his friends the assurance that
they must wait and see. Facts will
tell the tale in good time"
The agreement regarding the contro-
Versy over the control of the Northern
Pacific means first that that property
will remain under the direction of the
Morgan Hill faction, although the
Kuhn, Loeb Hartman Gould faction,
backed by the Rockefeller and Stillman
interests, owns the majority of the COM
mon and preferred stock comDlned; and
further, that the harmony agreement
viii result in a closer alliance between
the great transmississippi railroads,
which extend from Chicago to the coast
and have affiliations to carry American
products to the far East

TOPICS OF 7HE DAY.


What is the idea of this flag rais-
ing business in the public schools?
In no other country would Isuch an
absurd idea ever be tolerated. We
are told it is to instill feeling of
patriotism into the hearts and minds
of the children. What nonsense.
w hen the child comes of age enough
to understand, make it loyal aud
patriotic by explaining its duty to
it's country, the virtues of its couu-
try and the honor of serving its
country. In no country in Europe
have we ever seen flag raising"
day in a public school and yet we
think that the Europeans are more
loyal to their respective countries
than are the conglomeration OF peo-
pie who always have to have q flag
put up to remind them that they
are Americans. The next thing we
will see will be flags flying over the
churches and in the cemeteries to
remind the dead of their duties as
citizsns.
