REPLIES TO HIS CRITICS.
Declares He Has No Animus Against
tho Admiral.

NEW YORK, July 2C.-Edgar s.
Maclay replied to the criticism which
has been made OH his historical works
dealing with Admiral Schley and the
navy during the Spanish war: He said
in part:
Il did not appreciate at the time 1
wrote the book that the terms we're
immoderate and incorporate: It is
only recently that it has met with ad-
verse criticism. It is now my intention
to revise that portion of the work
that deals with the battle of San
tiago. But 1 shall not alter the facts,
for they are correct, and 1 must first
be assured that they are in error. The
proofs were submitted to the officers
who took part in the battle of San
tiago, as well as to Secretary Long.
and received their approval. I should
explain that only those portions of
the book were submitted to ear, Of
ficer that related to him personally
or to the part he took in the battle.

WHEAT IN RUSSIA AND INDIA.
United States Consul Generals Report
the Yield.

United States Consul Generals Report
the Yield.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE state
department is in receipt Of interest
ing reports concerning the wheat
crops of Russia and India. According
to a report from Consul General Hol-
loway at st. Petersburg there are
good reasons to hope that the wheat
harvest of 1901 will exceed that of
1900. The spring wheat is more
promising than the winter crop, the
latter having suffered heavily from
various causes. However, it is stated
that the loss in the winter crop will
be balanced by the amount Of spring
wheat sown.
Consul General Patterson of Calcut-
ia states that the wheat yield of India.
as a whole, is estimated at $3.50, 900
tone, 81 per cent more than the de-
cennial average, and this under ad-
verse conditions, such as cold wealth
err, hail, insects and rust. The ex-
port of wheat from India this year,
the consul general says, probably will
be greatly increased.
Consul Fee at Bombay estimates
midas harvest for this year at $780,
900 tons, or 10000 tons more than
last year.. The estimated are of
growing wheat for the year is %,
500,0 900 acres, being about 100000
more than the previous year.

Weather Cnfavorable and EARLY Germ
Damaged to Some Extent.
United States Department. Of kgri-
culture, Nebraska Section, Climate
and Crop Service of the Weather Blu
reau. University OF Nebraska, Lin
coin, July II:
The past week has been hot and dry.
The daily mean temperature has aver
aged IL degrees above the normal.
The rainfall Of the past week has
been very light, no amount sufficient
to aid crops having been reported.
The hot, dry weather has been very
unfavorable for all growing crops.
Threshing of winter wheat has made
good progress, and the yield is good
and the quality fine. Spring wheat
and oats have ripened too rapidly in
northern counties, and the yield will
be somewhat reduced. Early planted
corn is beginning to tassel in south
ern counties and has been considerably
damaged by the drouth; later planted
corn is standing the drouth well, but
corn generally has d~eteriorated in
condition during the past week. Corn
is small and late, and most Of it has
not tasseled, and with rain soon would
cover largely from the effects of the
dry weather. However, with the rain
the crop would generally be decidedly
below the average. Apples and fruit
generally have been injured, and the
hay crop will be less than expected
earlier in the season. Potatoes are a
very poor crop.

SOUTH OMAHA.
CattleAThere was. an extremely light
run of cattle and as packers all seemed
to have liberal orders there were not
enough to go the rounds and prices ad-
vanced sharply. The few cars OF oeef
steers on sale were picked up at an early
hour at prices that looked fully a dime
higher, and In some cases more. As COM
pared with the close of last week prices
are now fully as good as they were then,
and sales were made that looked higher
than the same kind Of cattle sold for on
last Friday. There were very few cows
and heifers on sale and practically moth
ing that could be called choice. The way
buyers acted good stuff was evidently in
good demand and would probably have
sold a little higher. Even the common
stun that was offered sold a little higher
in some cases. Bulls, calves and stays
were ali In very light supply and the few
on sale sold as they did yesterday. Stock
ers and feeders were also scarce today
and prices improved. In extreme cases
they sold as much as zoe higher. though
1Oa15c would cover the advance in most
cases. Cattle that were carried over from
yesterday In some cases sold as much as
zoe higher than the best bids received
yesterday.
Hogs-There' was another liberal supply
of hogs, though not quite as many ar
rived as yesterday or the day before.
Packers started in fairly early and the
opening market was about 2hc higher
than yesterdays general market. The
bulk of the first hogs sold largely at
S5.5719 and $500, but it was noticeable that
in most cases buyers were picking out the
better loads. 1T took a choice load of hogs
to bring over 1921. and very few sold
above that figure. The light stuff sold
mostly from 1851 down.. The market was
fairly active until about half the hogs
had changed hands. and then for a time
not much was done.
S~heep-There was a very light run Of
sheep, and no lambs at all arrived. The
sheep sold at just about steady prices
with yesterday. or 10a15c lower than last
week. Western wethers sold from 49, to
S3.4O. The lamb market is still in very bad
shape at all points. The demand Is ex-
tremely light and prices have broken 500
75c at this point as compared with the
high time last week.

LATE CROPS AND PASTURES REVIVE

. Harvest-Pour Begins in Western
Kansas and Sweeps to Missouri.

KANSAS CITY, July 18.-Generous
rains fell this afternoon over the big
gel part OF the corr belt Of the south
west. They came just in the nick Of
time. The good that will result to
late corn and to pastures cannot be
estimated, but it will undoubtedly
prove immense. Scattering showers
fell over the southwest last night and
this morning, but in o places up
to moor continued accounts of intense
beat were reported. The rains began
in western Kansas about l o'clock this
afternoon and travelling east had
reached the Misoursi line by 4 o'clock.
Reports from many counties assert
that today's rains, following what lit
tie had fallen within the past forty
a crop of corn and make pasturage
sure. The storm began in Kansas City
shortly before 5 O'Clock this evening.
The fall continued for over half an
hour and caused a decided drop in the
temperature, the weather bureau re-
cording SO at 5 o'clock, against 100
at 3 o'clock.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 1s.-The rains
that have fallen in Kansas last night
and today have practically assured a
corn yield of at least so, 000, 900 bush
els, and the yield may be ever better.
The state is under the influence of a
low barometric condition and more
rain is expected tonight. Correspond
ents from numerous Kansas towns in
reporting rain say the sky is overcast
with clouds tonight and more rain
within a few hours is certain. The
drouth in Kansas has been broken and
with it has gone the excessive hot
SPELL. It is the opinion among those
who have been watching the weather
conditions that the season will be
more favorable to crops from now on.
Good rains are reported tonight over
portions of eastern and central Kan
sas, and in each case is mentioned the
fact that the rain is not through.
Emporia, Hiawatha, Clay Center, Ellis
worth, Salina, Atchison, Sylvan Grove,
Great Bend, Concordia, Quenemo, Of
tawa, Fredonia and Usage City are
among the places favored with rains,
which ranged from one-half to two
inches.
Secretary Coburn of the Kansas
Board of Agriculture is enthusiastic
over the result of the rain. He is sure
that the corn yield will reach at least
half a crop if the present very favor
able weather conditions continue.
The manner in which corn has held
its W during the drouth was some
thing remarkable and is a source of
wonder to the farmers. In some places
it has had no moisture for over two
months. It has made almost no
growth, but the leaves have been kept
green and the tassel kept off. Weeds
could not flourish in the dry spell any
more than the corn and they were
easily eradicated. The fields are there
lore clean and have a new lease OF
life since the rain.
