WASHINGTON. Sept. 22.-The Colombian

uation. This report is expected tomorrow,

vessel the Navy department has decided to
send Marietta, now at La Guayra, but the

such that II Marietta is obliged to leave,
Montgomery, now at Cape Haytien, will be
ordered forthwith to La Guayra and the

department to embark them for the south,
Admiral Coghlan had a talk with Secretary
Moody and Rear Admiral Taylor, chief Of
the bureau Of navigation, today, concerning
his duties in the West Indies. While no for

The temperature conditions we're gen

Frost Damage TO Crop.

No further material damage by frosts has
been sustained by the corn crop during the
week. The reports indicate, however, that
previous estimates Of injury by the frosts
OF September IL and 10 have been conserva-
lively stated and that a large part OF the
late crop over the northern districts has
been very seriously injured. over the
southern portion Of the corn belt an e1cep-
tionally fine crop is now assured.
Cotton is very nearly all open and picking
has been actively carried on, being prac-
tically completed in sections. In Florida,
Texas and portions Of Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi rains have caused considerable
damage to open cotton, but were OF consid-
cradle benefit to the late plant In Texas
and Oklahoma.
In Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas and portions Of Illinois the reports
indicate a good yield of apples of fine quail
ity, but in the Ohio valley, middle Atlantic
states and New England a generally light
yield is indicated.
Flowing and fall seeding have progressed
favorably, except in portions Of the middle
Atlantic states, where the soil was too dry.

pirate action In any event this is a mat
ter within the jurisdiction Of the Presidents
coal commission.
The citizens committee win doubtless now
proceed with the investigation into the local
situation by following up the line of in
quiry laid down in the questions which it
has asked of the retail dealers. 1t is
strongly evident from what was learned in
Philadelphia yesterday, and from some OF
the replies already received from the
dealers, that the acceptance of the Read
ing roads conditions by those dealers
who have already signed has not resulted
in the receipt of coal. IT this fact is
further established, the burden of blame,
which the other day appeared to rest upon
the local dealers, would be shifted to the
operators and the railroads. The public
is not disposed to jump hastily at conclu-
sions in the premises, and asks only that
the whole truth of the case be laid bare.
To this end it Is highly desirable that the
dealers cooperate as fully as their interests
will permit with the committee and answer
in that spirit the questions which have been
asked. Of course, there MAY be reasons
why it would be impolitic to have those
replies published in full, and the names ana
figures spread broadcast In every instance
But doubtless way can be found to estab-
lish full communication between the dealers
and the committee, sitting as high court
of inquiry while the latter makes public
the net results of the investigation The
people want the mystery which surrounds
the blockade dissipated, not necessarily for
purposes of reprisal, but in order that fuel
may be obtained. The consumers want light
thrown on the situation. chiefly that they
may see their way clear to getting coal.

A Second Defeat for Cuba2

Senator McEnery of Louisiana is quoted
in a dispatch from, New Orleans as pre-
dieting second defeat for the Presidents
Cuban policy. He says to the sugar plant
ers of his state:
THE friends of beet sugar producers of
the west are just as steadfast as ever in
their determination to stand by the IN
dustry, which has converted thousands o.
acres of barren ground into profitable land,
and to lend every effort to stay the purpose
of the administration and its friends to
flood our markets with Cuban sugars.
Is Mr.. McEnery correctly informed? 1t
he is. what becomes of the statement made
by the Nebraska senators after the ad-
journment OF Congress last summer that
they would not further oppose the Prcs-
dent In the matter of Cuban sugar? And
what becomes of the Interpretation put
upon the results Of the November elections
in the beet sugar territory, where the Presi-
dent. it is thought, was very cordially in
dorsed? There should be no delay abod It
pressing the Cuban proposition. If a vigor-
GUS fight is necessary to insure its success,
the sooner it is begun the better. The
country at large is undoubtedly with the
President in this matter.
