LAST CROP REPORT
Government Gets Through Summar
izing Conditions.
HEAVY RAINS IN THE NORTHWEST
Much Larger Acreage of Corn Cut
Than Usual at This q
Date.

Washington Oct. 1.-Following is the
last weekly summary of crop conditions
to be issued by the weather bureau this
season:
The temperature conditions Of the week
ending Sept. so were highly satisfactory
throughout the central yalleysS lake region,
middle Atlantic states and New England, and
no damaging frosts occur ed in these dis
tricts. Heavy rains In the upper Missouri
valley and Minnesota interfered with farm
work and caused some damage to hay and
stacked grain in South Dakota and Nebraska.
Excessive rains also tinterfered with farm
work in portions of the South Atlantic and
east gulf states Rain is generally needed
in Illinois, Indiana and southern Michigan
to put the soil in condition for plowing and
fall feeding and salso over the greater part
of Texas for pastures and truck farms On
the north Pacific coast the week has been
cool and wet, with damaging frosts in Oregon
and Washington. Injurious frosts also oc-
CURED over the middle Rocky Mountain dis
tricts.
The week has beer favorable for maturing
and gathering corn and reports from the
principal corn states indicate that a much
larger acreage than usual at this date has
been cut. The crop is now practically safe
from frost in all districts
The weather conditions in the cotton belt
have been very favorable for picking except
over portions of Georgia, Florida and North
Carolina.
Only small part Of the tobacco crop and
that in Kentucky and Tennessee, remains un-
housed. The reports generally indicate that
this crop has been secured in satisfactory
condition.
In Kansas and portions Of Missouri, Ar
kansas, Illinois, more particularly in the first
named state, the reports respecting apples are
encouraging, but no Improvement Is reported
from other sections
Flowing has progressed fayorably in near
ly all districts and the early sown wheat in
the states Of the lower Missouri valley has
come UP in excellent condition. In southern
Michigan and portions Of the Ohio and GEN.
trail Mississippi valley, however, plowing and
seeding have been DELAYED. on account 1.-the
dry condition OF the soil and ii Ohio seed
Ing has been purposely DELAYED On account
OF the Hessian ny.

CONCERNING JUDGE MOVES

No Commission Will Be Sent to
Alaska.
From The Journal BureGm. Room z6, Pos
Building, Warrington
Washington, Oct. 1.-Senator Hans
brough's visit to President Roosevelt yes
terday had a good deal more to do with
the Judge Noyes' case than with irriga
ton, although it is possible the latter
may have been discussed somewhat.
Roosevelt is entirely unfamiliar with the
details of the Noyes matter, and it is
very important, as the case nears the
crisis, that he be posted. The attorney
general has had long talk with him re-
garding it, and Hansbrough's talk was
supplementary to 1t.
1t is learned positively to-day that At
torney General Knox has made no sugges-
tion of sending a commission to Alaska to
make a special investigation of the case.
The attorney general has had a number Of
reports from there and the regular agent
of the department is now in Alaska on his
annual tour through the several judicial
divisions of the territory. 1t is probable
that his report will be in the hands Of
Attorney General Knox before he Is ready
to act on the Noyes case. 1t is still
insisted at the department of justice that
the action of the circuit court of appeals
at San Francisco will not influence the at
torney generals action, although he will
not reach a conclusion until after the con-
tempt proceedings are disposed Of.

by the Illinois Central if Edwin Hawley,
president Of the two first mentioned roads,
knows how matters stand. Mr.. Hawley
arrived in the city this morning in COM
polls & st. Louis to attend the annual
meeting of the road He did not say in
so many words that the Illinois Central
yarn was untrue for the reason that the
or another a thousand times during the
past two years and denied as often. He
said enough, however, to prove that he
has no idea of disposing of his holdings in
the two properties in which he is the DOM
inant factor.
81 am not averse to talking to news
paper man who has not been writing
yarns about our selling out to the Illinois
have q satisfactory traffic arrangement
with that road, such we are willing to
make with any road which can aid us in
handing our business. The arrangement
is as efficient as if we owned their tracks,
so far as the solution of the transporta-
tion problems in our territory is con-
cerned.
'.As to the Minneapolis & st. Louis and
Iowa Central roads, we propose to make
them better roads than ever, if money
and experience can do it.. The latter
road in particular, which came to US bad
ly run down, is being put in first-class
shape, and the work will not stop until
it comes up to the standard of railroad
excellence.
I'VE have spent a great deal of money
on both roads lately in betterments, re-
newals, equipment, ETC., and we propose
to spend a good deal more
Mr.. Hawley said he kept in pretty close
touch with business conditions in the
west, and that he was glad to note a
great Improvement in the northwestern
situation over that of last year. The
northwest, he thinks, has enough rail-
roads for the present, and he sees no me-
cessity for building extensions of the M.
& st. l.. or Iowa Central systems.
Mr.. Hawley said the annual report is
sued to-day would show highly crafty
ing state of effairs in the finances of both
companies. The showing being quite as
favorable as the phenomenal figures Of
last year Our annual reports are un-
derstandable, said Mr. Hawley signifl-
cantly. I'VE don't try to confuse any-
body with figures. Our reports are very
plain and speak for themselves at sight"

A NOTABLE
CONVERSION
Robert P. Porter Espouses
Cause of Reciprocity.
HIS CHANGE OF FRONT
Was Once as Ardent a Protectionist
as Mr.. Mckinley.
WARNS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
The Latter Refuses to Commit Him
self Till He Has Thoroughly
Mastered the Subject.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Oct. 1.-The Chronicle this
morning publishes the following Wash
ington special:
President Roosevelt was again warned
yesterday that if his administration failed
to secure from the senate a ratification of
all pending reciprocity treaties and of
! treaties that ought to be negotiated in
the very near future serious consequences
are likely to follow. Robert P. Porter
who, next to the late President Mckinley,
has stood for nearly generation as the
most distinguished champion of protection
and high tariff, was the adviser of the
president on this matter.
Mr.. Porter recently arrived from Eu-
rope, where he spent several months in
vestigating economic and commercial con-
ditions. The fact that Mr.. Porter is a.
champion of reciprocity will probably as
tonish those who remember his past eff
forts in behalf of protection. He assured
the president that Europe is ready to re-
taliate by the adoption of tariff legislation
that will be hostile to American interests
or by forming an alliance which will be
governed solely with a view to shutting
out American products.
Mr.. Porter said to the president that the
gravity of the situation can hardly be ex-
aggerated and that the only way to meet
1t is to carry out the terms Of the re-
ciprocity treaties with countries that are
prepared to meet the United States half
way in this matter.
The president said to Mr.. Porter, as he
has to the others who broached the subject
of reciprocity, that it is a subject re-
quiring most searching investigation and
study on his part; and that while he is
disposed to accept the views Of the late
President Mckinley as expressed at Buffa-
10 and previously, he Goes not care to
commit himself t. any line of action until
he has completely mastered the subject.
Mr.. Porter assured the president that
he need have no fear of the future atti-
tude OF a grea1 majority CT American
lnanuff cturers; II, while there are pow
erful intGres's altered in the eastern
states " kch al undoubtedly opposed 10
reciprcci and will bring all their in
fiuence to bear upon congress to prevent
interference with existing tariff laws,
and that, while rev England's representa-
tiyes in congress will fight reciprocity to
the last ditch, the establishment of that
principle on a broad scale will result in
lasting benefits to the commerce of the
United States which cannot be attained
otherwise.

to the Wellington Colliery company. The
flames started from a curtain which
caught fire from miners lamp.
| Fire broke out at the bottom level OF

ers fiocked to the mine and reached the
place where the miners had been at work
but the men had gone. running with the
fresh air instead of against it. in an at
tempt to get out by the accustomed route,
thus meeting death half way.
Series of Explosions.
While the resources were at work the
mine exploded, and explosions continued
all the afternoon and evening. When 1t

saved, a strong force started to choke the
mine. but their work was undone BY ter

James Thomas, a rope rider, had a thrill

and seeing the fire coming, jumped off the
car and ran. George Southcomb and Eu-
gene Griffith, timber men, called to him to
follow them, but he ran on up the slope
for 1000 feet in its mouth and barely es-
capped with his life. The other men were
overtaken by the flames and perished.
A miner running No. workings fell
exhausted and, in falling, knocked open
a door into another gallery and thus es-
capped.
Still Burning.
The fire is still raging, but it is hoped
to extinguish it without flooding the
mines.
