CONTINUES TO IMPROVE.
Britain ReJoices at the Kings Im-
ment-COrOnatiOn Bon
fireS Lighted.

London, July lin view of the kings
continued improvements no further bull
letins were issued Monday night.
AT noon the following official state
ment was given out at the palace:
There is no cause for alarm in the dis
tress caused by dressing the wound. This
occurs at least twice daily. The wound.
which is of considerable depth, Is dressed
from the bottom, as it is essential that 1t
should heal from within outward. The
dressing causes his majesty considerable
pain, which he has borne with great forti
tude. In fact, his majejsty's courage and
patience call for the greatest admiration.
THE king was much benefited by the
change to the couch yesterday, on which
he stayed for few hours. The electric
fans have proved of great value in keeping
down the temperature OF the apartment.
The queen Is in constant attendance in the
sick room, but the utmost quiet is enforced
The king occasionally sees his children, but
the interviews are of short duration. No
matters of state or business are allowed
to be submitted to the king who is also de-
barred from reading his correspondence.
Neither Drs. Laking, Barlow, nor Treeves
have left the palace since the operation.
except for an occasional hour"
The general feeling of relief as
result of the favorable reports of the
condition of the king vented itself
Monday night by the touching off of
the 5000 bonfires throughout the
United Kingdom which were original
ly prepared to celebrate coronation
night. The signal to light the fires was
given at five minutes past nine o'clock.
A rocket was sent up from the top of
the gigantic wheel in Earl's court, and
burst in cloud of stars 1000 feet
overhead. In response to this signal
bonfires rose from every elevation Of
any consequence from the Lizard to
the Orkneys. The celebrations were
unfortunately somewhat dampened
by downfall of rain.
London was not officially illuminated.
1t had been hoped that the mansion
house, the Bank of England and Marl-
borough house would join in the cele-
bration, all their illuminating stands
being intact, but none of the official
decorations were lit up. The display
in London in this line was confined to
the theaters, the hotels and the bust
ness houses on the Strand, Fleet street
and other thoroughfares.
There was quite a celebration at
Spithead Monday when the nearest
approach to review of the great fleet
there was seen in the trip of several
transports loaded with volunteers and
colonial troops and number of distin-
guished persons, who inspected the
empires "first line of defense"

CHINA REFUSES TO PAY.
She Objects to Present Rate
of Exchange.

Picking, July 2.-The Taotai Of
Shanghai has notified the bankers
commission that China refuses to
pay the July installment of the in-
demnity except at the rate of ex-
change prevailing April 1, 1901. The
foreign ministers consider that the
Taotai's declaration is the result of
announcement of the United States
minister, Mr.. Conger, to the Chinese
government that the United States
sustains Ghina's contention and is
willing to accept payment on the
basis mentioned. But the ministers
are confident that China. will accept
the decision of the majority of the
ministers when she is convinced that
the United States is her only sup
porter.
Washington, July 2.-The state de-
partment has not yet been notified of
the Chinese refusal to pay theJuly in
demnity, which is the first payment
of money to become due from China to
the powers since the signature of the
Peking agreement. The department
regrets being placed in position of
taking issue with the powers on this
question, which is so important that
grave doubt is entertained as to the
probable effect of an insistance on the
European contention as affecting
Chlna's integrity. 1t is nevertheless
the case that careful reading of the
proceedings of the ministers at Picking
which led up to the agreement, taken
in connection with the context of that
document, has convinced the depart
ment that it was the unquestionable
purpose of the ministers, and that
purpose was clearly set out in their
proceedings, to permit China to pay
the indemnity at the rate of exchange
as it existed on the date of signature,
and it is equally clear that what APP
pears to be a contradictory clause in
the agreement was nothing more nor
less than an inadvertence. However,
the United States has not gone to the
length of refusing to accept its pay
ment on the same basis as the other
powers, namely, at the current rate
of exchange; all it has done in that
direction was to notify China that it
regarded her contention as reasonable
and proper one.

CORN HURT BY RAINS.
Valley Affected by Wet
Weather.

Washington, July 2.-The following
is the weather bureaus weekly sum
mary of crop conditions:
The northern portion of the country east
of the Rocky mountains have experienced
another decidedly cool week, with generally
abundant rainfall In the southern states
the week averaged warm, with phenom-
enally heavy rains, where they were great
ly needed. over a large part of Texas and
portions of northern Louisiana and
southern Arkansas. Much needed rains
also occurred in portions of the cen
trail gulf districts, Tennessee, and
the middle Atlantic states. but drought
conditions are beginning to be quite
seriously felt In the east gulf states.
OF damage in central Indiana and south
ern Ohio. Or the Pacific coast the week
was too cool for favorable growth in Wash
ington and Oregon, but satisfactory con-
ditions prevailed in California, where all
crops are maturing rapidly and harvest is
In general progress.
The continued low temperatures through
out the corn belt have checked the growth
OF corn, and heavy rains interrupted culti-
walton over large areas, these unfavorable
effects being more general over the north
ern portion of the principal corn states,
where warm sunshine and dry weather are
greatly needed, especially in the lake re-
gion and upper Mississippi! Valley. The
crop is In excellent condition In Kansas,
Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and In the
south Atlantic states, and, while recent
rains have greatly benefited late corn in
the west gulf district, the early planted Is
a very poor crop
Over the southwestern portion OF the
winter wheat belt the bulk of the winter
wheat crop has been cut, but harvesting
has been much delayed over the northern
portion of the western district, and gen.
orally throughout the eastern portion. In
portions OF the central and upper Ohio VAL
ley the crop has sustained serious damage
from severe local storms. Cool, moist
weather has checked ripening over the
northern portion of the winter wheat re-
gion, and lodging is reported from some
districts. On the north Pacific coast the
crop has made favorable progress, ex-
cept in eastern Washington. where rain
Is needed. Heavy yields are reported from
central and northern California.
The general condition of spring wheat Is
promising, although its advancement has
been somewhat checked in portions of the
spring wheat region. Considerable lodg-
Ing has resulted from high winds in east
ern South Dakota, and some rust is report
ed from southern Minnesota. The crop
Is now heading in the northern portion of
the spring wheat region.
Considerable lodging of oats are reported
from the states of Missouri and upper Mis-
sissippi valleys, but on the whole this crop
has progressed favorably and general i'm
provement Is Indicated in the middle At
lantic states and upper. Ohio valley. A
large crop is being harvested in Oklahoma
| and Kansas, and the outlook in Nebraska
is excellent.

A GENUINE sEA-sERPENT.
Six-Foet Creature of Hideous Ap.

from the Bermudas,

New York, July "A strange crea-
ture, caught off the shore of Ber-
muda early in June, has arrived here
on the steamship Trinidad and has
been placed in the aquarium in Bat
terry park. 1t is over six feet long,
formed like snake, but with head
like that of q turtle and fins like a
fish. A long bill Tor mouth gives
it most terrifying appearance,
which is rendered more horrible by
pair of glaring eyes on the top of
its head. Its body is brownish green
in color, and running around its
middle are several bright yellow
stripes.
The biologist who shipped the
serpent here, was unable to name it,
and the men in charge of the
aquarium are equally ignorant of its
nature
