Condition of the Crops.

The Weather Bureaus weekly sum-
mary of crop conditions is as follows:
Intense heat prevailed during the great
er part of the week throughout the Cen
trail Valleys, but the temperatures during
the last three days were more moderate.
Good rains have fallen over large part
of the drouth area in the Mississippi and
Upper Missouri Valleys, but drouth con-
ditions have become more serious in the
Ohio Valley and Tennessee, where the
week has been rainless, except in few
localities. In the Atlantic Coast districts
the weather conditions have been gener-
ally favorable, except over portions of the
Corolinas and Virginia, where rain is now
needed. The conditions were also favor
able on the Pacific Coast.
Recent rains have improved late Corn
in portions of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklaho-
ma and Missouri, but the early crop was
In Iowa the crop has sustained less inju-
ry than in the before mentioned States,
and the rainfall has been copious and
well distributed. In the great Corn States
east of the Mississippi river, except over
Northern Illinois, drouth and excessive
heat have continued with disastrous eff
fects upon Corn, which is now in IA criti-
cal condition. In Michigan aud general
ly throughout the Middle Atlantic States
and New England the Corn crop is in inc
| condition.
Winter Wheat harvest is general on
the North Pacific Coast, with good yields.
Harvesting of spring Wheat is well ad-
vanced over the southern portion of the
spring Wheat region. and has begun in
the Southern Red River Valley. Prema-
ture ripening has reduced the yield and
quality of the crop over the southern
portion of the spring Wheat region,
although the thrashing returns show bet
ter yields in Iowa than were anticipated.
In North Dakota and Northern Minnesota
the crop has sustained but little injury
from heat.
Dat harvest continues in the more
northerly sections, having been delayed
by rain in Michigan. Reports of prema-
ture ripening continue from the Upper
Missouri Valley. light crop is expect
ed in the Middle Atlantic States
In the OHIO Valley and Tennessee To
bacco continues to suffer from drouth,
but in Kentucky has withstood the un-
favorable conditions we'll In New Eng
! land and the Middle and South Atlantic

| linas under favorable conditions

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT.
Trustees Meet Tonight and Probably
 Will Make Selection.

Tuscaloosa, June 24-(Special) )-The meeting of the trustees of the University of Alabama set for tomorrow night at which time 1t is likely a president will be selected for the ensuing year, is at tracting a good deal of interest in Tus- caloosa as well as all over the state. The trustees will convene at 7:30 tomorrow night and while 1t is pretty generally un- derstood that there is no man slated for the position it is not likely that the selec- tion of a president will be deferred longer than this meeting of the trustees, as the feeling prevails that a good strong man should be selected at once in order that he may begin at once the work necessary for the upbuilding of the uni versity. The man who now stands the best chance for the position-and who by the way is not a candidate for it-is State Superintendent of Education John w. Abercrombie. MT Abercrombie has some strong friends on the board and 1t is be- lieved that should he decide to take the. position they will support him very heartily But it is pretty well under stood that MT. Abercrombie will not, un- der any circumstances, accept the presi- dency of the university unless he be given full control of 1t without being hampered in any way. There is no like lihood of Hon. Hanns Taylor being elected, despite the fact that he was so largely endorsed by the Constitutional Convention.

MINISTER DEWITTE
 SPEAKS OF TARIFF
He Says Secretary Hay is Mis- informed Regarding the
 Tariff on Sugar

New York, June N.-According to Herald dispatch from St. Petersburg the reply of M. Dewitte, the Russian Min ister of Finance, to Secretary Gage in the Russian sugar controversy is that, being Cabinet minister, MT. Gage must be treated with respect, therefore, M. Dewitte cannot imagine that he is will fully misleading the people of the United States as to the true condition of affairs. The only other conclusion M. Dewitte can arrive at after reading what MT. Gage says is that he Is misinformed and entirely unacquainted with the details of the subject upon which he gives his opinion. which is not in keeping with the facts.
 Secretary Gage appears to make his en- tire point out of the fact that export cer- tificates are given which have a value. All sugar produced in Russia is taxed one rouble and seventy-f1ve kopecks (ninety-two cents) per pood (thirty-six pounds), as soon as it leaves the factory. When sugar is exported, exactly that amount which is an internal tax is re- turned, but in order not to encourage ex- pOIldllOU l06 1buSSldn BONeTHtlenl uOSS not give cash for those certificates. They are only valid for the payment of taxes on sugar subsequently, produced. Having thus to wait for their money and need ing cash the producers constantly have their certificates discounted by the banks.
 If the Russian government wanted to encourage the exportation of sugar 1t would pay cash down instead of keeping the people waiting and losing interest on their money for probably year.
 M. Dewitte when asked whether the high tax on sugar was imposed in order to give profit to the producers replied:
 That would be difficult. In fact my mind cannot grasp any logical reason ing why you could so interpret it. The tax on sugar is high to prevent the mar ket from being flooded. If we were to lower 1t then thousands of sugar fac tories would spring up, and sugar would become drug on the market We there- fore limit production for internal and economic reasons"

ENCAMPMENTS OF
 NATIONAL GUARD
Officers Meet in Montgomery and Fix Dates for the
 Three Regiments

The Age-Herald Bureau, Claneey's Ho- tel. Montgomery, June 4-(Speeial.) .)-The Alabama National Guard will be ordered into camp during the month of July. This was decided at a meeting of the officers at the Capital today.
 The three regiments will pitch tents at different sections in the State. The Sec ond Regiment will be the first ordered into camp. This regiment will go to Eu- faula July to 12. inclusive. The Third Regiment will follow, the date being fixed for July 10 to 16, inclusive. It was not decided at today's meeting where this encampment would be held. Colonel Hig- don stated that 1t would go either to Bir- mingham or Huntsville It seems more probable that the latter place will get it if that city will raise sufficient supple mental funds.
 The First Regiment and the cavalry and artillery will go to Mobile, the former July 1S-24. inclusive, the latter July 25 to 31.
 The cost of transportation has figured largely in the locations of the camps, each of the regiments going to the most available central point
