THE BOERS AND THE BLACKS,
A Fresh Trouble BeinR Encountered B, the Boers Returning to
 Their Parma.

Johannesburg. Aug. 27.-A strong force of British troops has been dis patched to the western border of the Transvaal. ostensibly to relieve troops ordered to India. but it Is currently reported that this step is taken ow- ing to disturbances among the na- lives.
 recent dispatch from London quoted one of the foremost South Af- rican authorities as follows:
 Among the immediate dangers in the Iransvaal native attacks on Boers returning to their farms and other assaults are threatening to lead to serious conflicts between Boers and blacks. great number of blacks in the country have managed to secure arms. There is. therefore, the anom- alous situation of unarmed whites and armed blacks living in proximity on outlying farms"
 Natives of the Transvaal have been reported as wandering about the country armed with rifles which they have either pilfered or purchased.
 In an article published on August
 ED 23. in the Vienna Fremdenblatt. Gen. Botha was credited with saying:
 "The civilization of South Africa is threatened by the kaffirs. England armed these tribes to fight for her; now the war Is ended the Kaffirs have not returned their arms, but have re- treated with them to inaccessible places in the mountains. where they are reported to be engaged in daily shooting exercises and preparations of war. Unless the English authori- ties display the greatest energy the kaffirs are likely to cause great trouble"
 Swaziland is inhabited by a warlike kaffir race. and lies to the east of the Transvaal.
 The western frontier of the Trans vaal is formed by Bechuanaland, which Is inhabited chiefly by the Kafiir race of the Bechuanas.

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.
The Department of Agriculture's Weekly Summary of tho
 Crop Conditions.
WEATHER CONDITIONS UNAVOIDABLE.
Too Hot and Dry Tn the south and Too Cool and Wet in the States Further North for Proper Matur- ing of Crops-Deteriorat ation In the Cotton Crop.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Following is the agricultural departments weekly summary of crop conditions:
 As a whole, the weather conditions east of the Rocky mountains have not been favorable, being too cool in tho northern districts eastward of the Missouri valley, with too much mois- ture in portions of the central valleys while excessively hot in the southern states with drought of greater or lesser severity generally throughout the cotton belt. Although cool, the conditions were fairly favorable for maturing crops in the Ohio valley and over the southern portion of the middle Atlantic states as we'll as on the Pacific coast.
 Corn is greatly in need of warm, dry weather throughout the north ern portion of the corn belt, where the abnormally cool weather of the past two weeks has greatly retarded its maturity. Over the south portion of the corn belt an excellent crop of early corn is now practically assured.
 In portions of Iowa and central H. linois corn has badly lodged as a re- suit of local storms.
 Spring wheat harvest is unfinished in the northern portion of the Red river valley, where it has been inter- rupted by frequent showers which have also seriously interferred with stacking and threshing. Sprouting and rotting in stack and shock are reported from Iowa and in southern Minnesota threshed wheat Is damp and discolored. Harvest is about three-fourths finished in Oregon and will be completed in Washington dur ing the present week with yields about the average. though less than expected in Washington.
 A decided deterioration in the con- dition of cotton is reported generally throughout the central and western portions of the cotton belt, as we'll as over a large part of the eastern dis tricts. The most favorable reports are from the Carohnas. In North Carolina the condition of the crop continues very promising, although the prevalence of rust is widespread. On stiff soils in South Carolina new growth is blooming and fruiting, but on sandy soils rust, shedding and pre- mature opening are prevalent. Throughout the central and western districts, with the exception of north ern Mississippi and potions of Okla homa and Indian territory, where tho crop is doing well, the reports indi- cate a decided decline in It's condi- tion. rust, shedding and premature opening being general. In Texas the deterioration hes been pronounced and under the most favorable future weather conditions a yield In excess of the average is improbable.

LIEUT-GEN. MILES JOURNEY.
It Is UnderstOod that the Trip Is te Re Undertaken for Purely
 Military Purposss.

Washington, Aug. 27.--It has devel- oped that Gen. Miles application to go to the Philippines was of compara- lively recent date and was in no way connected with his application of sev- eral months ago. When the first ap- plication was made it was coupled with certain suggestions as to termi- mating the war, and Secretary Roots refusal to grant the first request was based largely upon these phases of the application. In view of this it is understood that Gen. Miles restrict ed his second application so as to make the trip one for purely military purposes. Although the text of the application was not given out at tho war department, it is said that one of its features is request that the return from the Philippines be by way of the eastern route. As the ap- plication is approved, Gen. Miles will return by this route, which insures his visiting Europe on his way back to America.
 It is expected that Mrs. Miles will accompany the general to the Philip pines, and it may be that his mar ried daughter, who is the wife of Col. Reber, one of the generals aides, also will accompany the party.
 It Is the understanding that in that capacity, though of superior rank. Gen. Miles will not interfere in any way with either Gen. Chaffee or his successor, Gen. Davis, in the direc- tion of the army in the Philippines. tions as he finds them, devoting his attention entirely to matters of army administration. and not to political affairs, and the results of his work will be embodied in a set of reporta.

The hunting season will soon be open, so far at least, as turkeys and deer are concerned. but there is yet more than a month before quail can legally be killed in the state.

Turkeys may be killed be. tween September 1 and May 1, two months longer being allowed than for the hunting of deer. Quail may be Killed October l to 1 March 1. the season for cartridges beginning one month later than for the other two and being three months shorter than the season for turkey.

PhOsphate Rock.

According to report of the exper- iment station of the University of Arkansas, the phosphate rock deposits of north Arkansas. in the counties of Independence. Stone. IZard, Searcy, Newton and Baxter. are scarcely known, but from examination they promise to be of considerable extent and richness. They will. therefore. be valuable to the state as source of the manufacture of acid phosphate, an important plant food that is extensive ly used as a fertilizer for increasing the yield of crops.
