SAYS KANSAS cAN STAND IT.
Paul Morton of Santa Fee Road Talks of
Crop Conditions.

Crop Conditions.
New York, July 26.-Vice President
Paul Morton of the Atchison, Topeka
g. Santa Fe railway is here and talks
freely on crop conditions and the bus
mess outlook with special reference
to the interests of the great system
with which he is connected.
ut is true,' said Mr.. Morton, that
the corn crop in Kansas and Missouri
has been seriously damaged by hot
winds, but think the reports of dam
age in Nebraska and Iowa have been
very much exaggerated. Corn in Illi-
nois, Indiana and Clio is looking well
and with rain ought to make an aver
age, crop. The loss of the corn crop
in Kansas and Missouri to the rail
roads is not anything like the serious
matter which it used to be. Take, for
instance, the Atchison road 1t has
diversified it's tonnage to such an ex-
tent that corn is not now the all-im-
portant factor as it used to be in
making earnings.
There are many things that can
happen to make up the loss of the
corn crop and the people of Kansas
and the railways are to be congratu-
lated on the prosperous condition
they are in to meet this loss. The
people of Kansas never owned as
much and owed as little as they do

London, July a4.-The presentation
of the freedom of the city of London
to Lord Miner of Cape Town at the
Guild hall yesterday was made the
occasion of a demonstration in favor
of the war in South Africa and the
policy of the government. Joseph
Chamberlain, the colonial secretary;
the Duke of Devonshire and other
ca binet ministers, and Sir Claude Mac
Donald, former minister to China,
We're present.
Lord Miner in a speech said the
compromising of the settlement or
the South African situation by lnJu-
dicious concessions must not be
thought of, nor should the risk of a
popular rising be run.
The speaker said there was an inn
mense difference between the stout
old burghers of the late republic and
the rowing ruffians" narrowing their
fellow brothers at Cape Colony. While
it was resolved to treat the old burgh-
ers, when the war was over, with
fairness. convincing them, though
they had lost their independence, they
had not lost their freedom, the
loyalists in South Africa who had
shown such splendid devotion to the
empire and the work of reconstruc-
ton already going OH should not be
alienated

Des Moines, July 25.-John Cownie
of the state board of control, under

to diligently cultivate the growing
crops on the institutions farms.
''That is what the corn and vege-

hundreds of thousands of bushels in
Iowa this year. If all the farmers
would heed the advice in the letter
we have sent out [ am confident that
they would materially remove the
loss they fear that they will suffer.
THE fields of Iowa are full Of fox

there is moisture or not. The lack
of cultivation will permit them to
choke out the grain by absorbing all
the moisture in the ground. Stir

SAGE ON CROPS.

:
director OF Crop Service Says Crops Are
In Fairly Good Condition.
Des Moines, July 24.--Director }. III.
Sage of the Iowa Weather and Crop
Service yesterday issued the follow
ing weekly statement of the crop con-
ditions in this state:
The week afforded no relief from
the excessive heat prevalent the pre-
ceding week and larger part OF the
month. The past two weeks have
broken all previous records OF sus-
tanned high temperatures for so long
a period in this state. The mean at
the central station has been So de-
prees, and the average of maximum
Temperatures above 100 for the four
teen days. Numerous stations report
1O7 on Goth and 21st, and one station
100 on the 21st. During several days
brisk to high winds blew. but the hot
winds have not been so high and de-
structive as in July. 1894. Some NIT
igation of the torrid conditions was
afforded by scattered showers In por-
tons of the eastern and north central
districts, but the drouth has not been
broken. The reports indicate that
early corn in the tasseling stage has
suffered material damage in all parts
of the state and especially in the
southern and eastern districts. Late
planted corn on deep, rich soil is
showing much less injury, and copi-
Gus rains within a week would bright
Ell the outlook for about three
fourths of the crop. The extent of
actual loss cannot be estimated at
this time. Harvesting small grain
crops is nearly completed. and thresh-
ing is in progress. Pastures. pota-
toes. apples and garden truck show
continued deterioration.

CROP REPORTS EXAGGERATED.
Damage Not Great in Northwest ern lows
and Northeastern Nebraska.


Sioux City, July 24.-Thoroughly
reliable crop statistics received from
northeastern Nebraska, northwestern
Iowa and southeastern South Dakota
by the Iowa State National bank
shows that the damage to the crops
up to the present time has not been
so serious as generally supposed. This
informatio comes from correspond
ents of the Iowa State National bank,
which is heavily interested III land
securities and cattle paper in all this
territory.
If rain comes soon the corn crop
generally. in northern Iowa and
northeastern Nebraska, will be good.
Early corn has been hurt in some
communities, but the late planting
has withstood the drouth remarkably
well. Here and there reports indi-
cate that the corn crop has been
damaged % per cent, but these are
exceptional. Further drouth, how
ever, will do serious harm.
Small grain is practically all har-
vested in northwestern Iowa. Wheat
has generally been damaged some
what, perhaps IS to 25 per cent. Oats
and barley are hurt, but generally
the crop promises 10 be an average
one. In northeastern Nebraska the
small grain crop is generally report
ed to be average. In South Dakota
the crops in many communities are
better than usual. The hay crop
throughout this territory is good,
but pastures are now suffering.
Should corn fail because of continued
drouth there viii be an abundance
of rough feed for the winter.

COSTLY DAVENPORT FIRE
Twenty City Blocks Swept BY an
Awful COnflagration,

DAVENPORT, j uiy 20 ITS Idiu WaS'S
| an area of saw mill and residence
property in davenport last evening
equal to twenty ordinary city blocks
The flames started at $3.50 O'Clock
in piles of kindiing wood belonging
to the Island Fuel company ON the
levee. A brisk breeze was blowing,
carrying the flames directly across
the immense lumber yards Of Weyer-
hauser-Denkmann, which We're soon
seething mass of flames. The
spread of the fire was so rapid that
workmen barely had time to desert
the ward. The flames pushed their
way into the adjoining residence dis
trict, closely settled with middle class
houses.
The average value was few thou
sand dollars each. The occupants es-
capped only with their lives and cloth
ing on their backs. Over fifty homes
thus burned, some tenements, result
ing in 100 families being rendered
homeless.
The fire was fought heroically by
the fire departments OF Davenport,
Rock Island and Moline, ILL.,. the lat

Efforts to check the flames were
unavailing until they spread on the
north of the spacious grounds OF st.

Pump company, the Standard Oil
company. the Riverside mill and the
Davenport Wooden mills had narrow
escapes, the flames being checked
just before reaching them.
1t is believed there were no fhtalI-
ties.
Not a drop of rain having fallen
here in three weeks, the lumber yards
furnished food for the flames that
quickly put the confiagration beyond
