Summary of Crop Conditions.

Washington, June 25.-The Weather Bureaus weekly summary of crop con ditons is as follows:
 The temperature conditions of the week ending June "A were highly favor able in nearly all parts of the country. The South Atlantic States, which suf- fered from excessive rains in the pre- vious week have experienced more fla vorable conditions for cultivation, which has been seriously delayed.
 Further and general improvement in the condition of corn is indicated in the Southern States the corn crop is doing well, except in Texas. Louisiana and Southern Mississippi. where 1t is greatly in need of rain, especially in Texas. In the Atlantic Coast States, the crop has made favorable progress. but needs cultivation in portions of tke Virginias and the Carolinls.
 Winter wheat harvest has advanced under favorable conditions during the week Increased reports of rust are re- ceived from Ohio and Virginia. In the Carolinas grain in shock has suffered some injury from moisture.
 In the central portions of the cotton belt, cotton has continued to il T rove In the Carolfnas and Florida. the crop is very grassy, but has received much needed cultivation in Georgia. In South Carolina. however, a slight inn

MAY LEAVE CAPITOL
CONVENTION DELEGATES DIS
 CUsS THE MATTER.
Proposition to Remove Work of Con- stitution-mak.ng to Monte Sano
 May Be Submitted-The
 Suffrage Committee.

There was considerable talk in hotel Hobbies last night of proposition to re. move the Constitutional Convention to Monte Sano near Huntsville, because oi the extremely oppressive weather ir Montgomery during the past few days The matter was the principal subject of discussion among the delegates to the Convention and it was said that a quiet movement with this end in view had been on foot for several days. It was said that a leading delegate to the Convention had made a canvass oi the members and that he will today in. troduce a resolution raising Commit tee to enquire into the desirAbility of such a removal.
 A number of delegates were inter- viewed on the subject. They said they had heard the matter discussed but a majority of them said that they had not given the proposition serious ccr- sideration.
 Judge Robinson of Chambers, does not take kindly to the idea of leaving Montgomery. He advanced two Iea- s. ms for his opposition to such move ment. He said first that he iid not want to go so far away from the State Treasury. Secondly, Judge Robinson said he understood that 1t would be impossible to take the stenographers to Monte Sano:'
 MT. Boone. the distinguish mC mber from Mobile, said that like good gen. eral he did not believe in getting so far away from the base of supplies. He said that when the Convention left Montgomery he would go to his Ecme in Mobile.
 Other delegates said they hoped the matter would not be discussed Tn the Convention. It would have bad ef- feet on the people to even hint at leaving Montgomery. The temperature fell considerably last night and today promises to be cooler.
 The Suffrage Committee.
 It was learned yesterday that the re- port of the Committee on Suffrage has been completed and that it will proba ply be submitted to the Convention Thursday morning. The members of the Committee are sec-etiye and no inkling of the nature of tLe report has leaked out.
 In the debate yesterday afternoon on the proposition to limit all speeches to five minutes Judge Colem Tn. Chairman of the Committee. made the significant statement that questions of great mo- ment would be before the Convention within few days and that such time limit should not be imposed upon the delegates.

 Ball Game Tomorrow.
 At 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon there will be a game of amateur ball that promises to exceed in interest any pro- fessional game. It will be betwees the Falcons and the Independents.
 The Tndanendauf toa m L. COunDOsel of some of the fastest young ball tossers in this city and are putting in some good practice preparatory to their game with the Falcons. This Is the same team which made so good showing against the Auburn College team few weeks since with compara- lively to practice. Up to the present time the Falcons have clean record of wins, having as yet never suffered defeat, and they will doubtless piay their characteristic brilliant game Thursday to uphold their record. Calm, who pitched so brilliant a game against the L. and N. team few days since. will again do the twirling for the Fal- cons. while Seals, probably the clever est amateur pitcher in this section, will do the box work for the Independents. Both are in good condition and will doubtless pitch strong games
 The proceeds of the game are to be donated to the Hospital Fund. which assures a big crowd.
 The. game will be called at o'clock sharp. Tom Lewis, who has made such a good record with the indicator. will umpire.
 Seals will be remembered for the strong work that he did some years ago with the Greenville amateur team. He pitched trial game for Ted Sulli- van when that foxy Irishman had the Chattanooga team and made a phe- nomenal record. In the game some weeks ago against the Auburn College team he struck out seven men in the first three innings. Cahn's pitching in the l.. and N.IFalcon game will be remembered and there Is probability that he will duplicate his good work tomorrow. The chances are that he will have to put some extra speed in his pitching.
