APPEARS FOR Mr.. MORGAN.
Committee of Lords Hears Plans OF
Proposed Transit Scheme.

London, April 23.-Clinton E. Daw-
kins of J. P. Morgan & Co. testified be-
fore the house of lords committee
which is Investigating the whole ques
ton of underground transit of London.
Mr.. Dawllins referred to the worldwide
character Of the financial transactions
of the Morgans, who would guarantee
to find the capital for the entire forth
coming new underground system,
There was no doubt, continued Mr..
Dawkins, that the necessary money
could be found in England, but if mon
ey was cheaper in America it world
be raised there. Arrangements I'd
been made to supply the rolling stock
without having recourse to America.
Mr. Dawllins, alluding to the ten
dency Of the population to move away
from the congested districts to the out
er fringe of London, said he thought
this ought to be encouraged on the
ground of public health and pointed
out that the only way to relieve the
central congestion was to offer rapid
transit facilities.

House Considers Senate Amendments

Washington, April 23.-After some
routine business the house went into
committee OF the whole and took up
the consideration of the senate amend
ments to the omnibus claims bill.
AS passed by the house the bill car.
ried about 100000 for the payment OF
claims. To this the senate attached all
the findings OF the court of claims un
der the Bowman and Tucker acts fol
captured and abandoned property
French spoiliation claims aggregating
about 100000 and many miscellaneous
claims aggregating in all over S2,S00,
600. Mr.. Mahon (Pa.), chairman OF
the committee on war claims, desired
to non-concur in all the senate amend
ments and send the bill to conference
but there was objection to this course
on the Democratic side.
Mr.. Underwood (Ala.) moved to
strike out that portion of the senate
amendment covering the findings OF
the Selfridge board, $1,1O7, ,425 :;
churches and schools, $62,974; state
claims, s422,271. and miscellaneous
claims, $177,260 The Selfridge board
claims, he said, grew out of the con-
struction OF vessels during the Civil
war and had been rejected by congress
in 1867, when they were fairly consid-
cred. Since then, he said, these
claims had passed in most cases into
the hands OF others. They had been
repeatedly considered and rejected by
congress.

Governments Weekly Summary Of
Crop Conditions.

Governments Weekly Summary Of
Crop Conditions.
Washington, April 23.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
The week ending April 81 was warm
er than the average in the Pacific
Coast and Rocky Mountain regions, in
the Missouri Valley and the northern
districts to the eastward; it was too
cool in the Middle Atlantic Southern
states and decidedly dry over the
greater part of the Central valleys
and Middle Atlantic states. Rain is
badly needed throughout the Rocky
Mountain districts and Central valleys,
and would prove beneficial in the Mid
die Atlantic states, while excess of
moisture has hindered farm work in
portions of the Central Gulf states.
The latter part of the week is marked
by abnormally high htemperaturein in Kan
sas and Nebraska, intensifying the
drought conditions in these states.
The general weather conditions, al
though not conducive to rapid advance
of vegetation, were very favorable for
| farming operations in nearly all parts
Of the country.
! The progress of corn planting has
been rather slow, except in Missouri
and the other Northern states, this
work being about finished in the Cen
tral and the West Gulf districts. A
large acreage of ground is prepared
for planting.
/ The termination of early sown
spring wheat over the southern portion
of the spring wheat region has been
show and seeding has been retarded
by freezing in North Dakota. The Red
River valley lands in Minnesota are
drying nicely and seeding began on
the 18th. Some reseeding will be nee
essary in Minnesota as q result OF the
dust storm OF April 10 and IL. Seed,
ling has progressed favorably on the
North Pacific coast.
