LONDON, June 9.-The noisy jubiIa- ton with which London has resounded for the last week was succeeded yes terday by more subdued although less impressive public demonstrations of thankfulness for the return of peace in South Africa.
 The. thanksgiving services held in London were typical of the services held throughout the empire, but the presence of King Edward and other members of the royal family at the principal devotional service in London and the progress of the royal person ages to and from St. Paul's cathedral through cheering thousands of British subjects and visitors in London gave thanksgiving day in the metropolis the added nature of a notable historic oc- casion. The programme of the morn ing was not intended to be accompa nied by special Ostentation. King Ed ward and Queen Alexandra did not pass through the streets even in semi state, but rode to St. Paul's in an ordi- nary landau drawn by four horses, ac- companied by positions and outriders clad in scarlet tunics. Only those mem- bers of the royal family who reside in Buckingham palace. accompanied their .aajesties. The Prince and Princess of Wales and others proceeded to St. Pauls separately, but by the same route as did their majesties. The king and the queen were joined at the cathe- dral by the Prince and Princess of Wales and many other distinguished personagss.
 Although the weather was chilly and dubious, the streets for the entire dis tance from the palace to the cathedral were thickly lined with people, who barred their heads and cheered as the members of the royal family and other notabilities passed. King Edward, who wore the uniform of a field marshal, was greeted with enthusiasm, and his majesty the Prince of Wales and the other princes were busily engaged in acknowledging salutations from the crowd. Lord Roberts, who drove with his wife and daughter, was one of the figures most conspicuously greeted with cheers. The royal personages were driven down the Mall to Trafal- gar square and through the Strand and Fleet street At Temple Bar officials of the city of London for the first time since the jubilee of the late Queen Vic toria awaited the sovereign in state. The kings carriage paused when it reached the ciey officials, and the lord mayor of London, Sir Joseph c. Dims- dale, presented the sword of the city to his majesty and uttered formal and loyal welcome. The king returned the sword, smiled, bowed and simply re marked. Thank you very much"

Bloemfontein, June 9.-A strong con- trast to the good feeling between Boer and Briton is the bitterness existing between the burghers who are surren- dering under the peace terms and those Boers who surrendered during the campaign. When the Boer lead CTS came to Bloemfontein, previous to the conclusion of peace, they curtly refused to shake hands with those who had previously surrendered. The general belief is that relations between these two classes of Boers will be em- bittered for long time.

A GENUINE SEA-SERPENT.
Six-FOot Creature of HideOus AID.

from the Bermudas.

New York, July "A strange crea-
ture, caught off the shore of Ber-

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 a turtle and fins like a
fish. A long bill Tor mouth gives
it most terrifying appearance,
which is rendered more horrible by
a pair of glaring eyes on the top of
its head. Its body is brownish green
in color, and running around it's
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 it's
nature.

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.
Violent local storms caused large amount
of damage in central Indiana and south
ern Ohio. Or the Pacific coast the week
was too cool for favorable growth in Wash
| lngton 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 cult
| Vatlon over large areas, these unfavorable
! eHects being more general over the north
efn portlon OF the principal corn states,
"here warm sunshine and Dry weather are
! greatly needed, especially In the lake re-
g1on 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
| very poor CROP
| over the southwestern portion of the
| winter wheat belt the bulk of the winter
| wheat crop has been cut, but harvestin e
! 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-
glon, and lodging is reported from some
o1str.cts. 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 mort hern portion of
the spring wheat region.
Considerable lodging of oats are reported
from the states of Missouri and upper Mis-
slss1ppl valleys, but on the whole this crop
mas progressed favorably and general i'm
provement is indicated in the middle At
iantlc states and upper Ohio valley. A
farge crop is being harvested in Oklahoma
and Kansas, and the outlook in Nebra ska

CHINA REFUSES TO PAY.
Notifies Bankers COmmission That
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 /, 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 China'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 Jet been notified of
the Chinese refusal to pay the;July in
demnity, which is the first payment
OF money to become due from China to
the powers since the signature of the
Picking 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
China's integrity. 1t is nevertheless
the case that a 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 ap-
pears to be 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 it's 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.
