TRIBUTES TO DEAD EMPRESS.
The Extremists Laud the Concert of
Frederick for Her Benefi-
cent Work.

Berlin, Aug. 12.-All eyes in Ger
many have been turned on Cronberg.
Public interest in the deceased dow
ager empress during her widowhood
was slight. as she did everything pos
sible to retire from public view and
avoided every semblance of political
activity. The latter fact has softened
the Judgment of even the unbending
Junker organs, which once persecrted
her majesty. assailiug her most sharply
when at the very acme of her power.
The dowager empress death reveals
the fact that the autocratie extremists
had largely modified their Judgment, or
at least had ignored their points OF
difference. They praise her for her
humanity her tender nursing OF the
sick IN the war her interest in iSdus-
trial art and the practical advance she
made in these lines. They also praise
her activity in promoting female edu-
cation in the advancement OF women.
The most conservative papers praised
the latter feature OF her character un-

CORN YIELD WILL BE SMALL
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
Makes Pessimistic Statement
After Tour in West.

Washington, Aug u. - Secretary
Wilson, who has just concluded a tour
though the corn belt, in communica-
ton received at the department OF ag-
riculture today, says: The corn
crop is very seriously injured in all
the great corn growing states. The
spring was wet. and much of the crop
was planted late on account of the
land being saturated. This prevented
vigorous growth until the ground
dried and warmed up. 1t also result.
ed in shallow planting and inclined
the roots to remain near the surface
until the dry, hot weather came, which
the plant was rot in the best condi-
ton to resist. 1t Is strikingly observ.
able mat most of the crops are I'M
dersized, stunted and not such as
could sustain heavy yields of grain.
This is the case in the best corn re-
gions, such as the route over Chicago
4 Burlington, which | attribute to the
delayed growth IN the spring.
Corn along the road" the secretary
said, is very light both on the hill
and valley, do not think half of it will
be worth husking and the other half
"'Na hOl HOW DlOlliSe more imam nan
an average crop at the outside This
may be said of Nebraska corn, and
Kansas is suffering still more.
THE crop in central Iowa promises
better II has heavier stalks, but an
examination of the ears show incom-
plete fertilization, and sufficient rain
has not yet fallen to carry on the
crop to maturity in most states of the
great corn belt.
Northern Iowa and Minnesota have
lighter crops that look green and
healthy, but need rain, and cannot
have average crops on account of the
imperfect fertilization. A striking fact
is the urgent need of more rain, so this
feature Will be a prominent factor in
The final estimates The injury to corn
is so serious that it is very easy to
oyerestimate the crop.
Wheat is reported TO be good
everywhere. oats are reported light
in most states, owing to the hurried
ripenlng. The same is said of bar
ley. Potatoes are very seriously in
jured south of Minnesota. Hay is
said to be excellent.
II get estimates on Iowa of two
thirds of the corn crop 1t will be
less, ! believe If grain does not soon
come still more injury will result"
