AGRICULTURE.
4 Large Crop Of Oats is RepOrted-No
Change In Corn and Wheat-AppIes
and Peaches Plentiful.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE monthly
report of the department of agricul-
ture shows the average condition of
corn on September ! to have been
S4.3, as compared with 500 on August
/, 1902, and a tCn-year average of 1873.
Except in Kansas and South Dakota,
which report decline of IL points
and 10 points respectively during Aug
uSt, no material change of condition
Is reported from any of the principal
corn states, and except those of the
south and the state of Michigan, they
again report condition averages in
excess of their respective averages
for the last ten years.
The average condition at harvest of
winter and spring wheat combined
was So against S2.S last year, and u
tcn-year average of 1879.
North Dakota, South Dakota, Ne
braska and Missouri report 20, "A, -
and - points, respectively, above
their ten-year averages, while Penn
sylyania ana California report points
below the ten-year average.
The average condition of oats when
harvested was s7.2, against S2.1 last
year, and a tcn-year average of 79.7.
While correspondents report the har-
vesting of an exceptionally large crop
of oats, there are Indications that the
crop will be very deficient in point of
quality.
There was decline in the condi-
ton of sweet potatoes during Aug
ust. and in all the principal states eX-
cept New Jersey, Virginia and South
(arnliDo Drpgapt conditions ara no
low the ten-ycar averages.
The acreage OF cloverseed has been
considerably reduced since last year,
only two of the principal states
Maryland and Ohio-reporting even
small increase.
Of the states having 100000 trees
and upwards in apples, II report an
improvement in condition during Aug
uSt. All but six of the important APP
pie growing states report conditions
ranging from to 30 points above
their ten-year averages; IN Ohio the
condition agrees with such average;
while Indiana, West Virginia, Ten
nessee and Kentucky report condi-
tlons below such average.
Reports as to the production Of
peaches as compared with full crop
in the important peach growing
states range from 10 per cent. in Iii
nois to % in Oklahoma. In all but
eight of the states having 100000
trees and upwards in 1899, produc-
tion exceeding the ten-year average
is probable.
In all the states in which the pro-
duction of grapes is of more than To-
cal Importance, the condition is equal
to or above the ten-year average.
There is a decrease in the number
of hogs now being fattened compared
with a year ago in every important
yania.

BOGEY BRYANISM.
Democratic Factions Torn by Hopes
and Fears Concerning the
''Great Failure"

Scarcely a day passes without a let
ter or an interview from William j.
Bryan regarding the candidacy for
1904. 1t will be noticed, too, that all
the questiOners are democrats. The
most recent one is the editor of the
New Orleans TimcS-Democrat who has
elected from Bryan the response that
Il shall not be "A candidate for the
presidency in the next campaign" to
which is added the stipulation: "If l
ever again become a candidate for the
presidency it will be because | am
convinced that / can in that way give
more effective aid to the cause in
which | am enlisted for life and am
not anxious to be convinced. | cannot
say more without prejudging events"
This answer is likely TO call out other
questions. The reason OF this is that
the answers do not settle anything
definitely, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. Bryan says if he ever be
comes the candidate again it viii be
because he is convinced that he can in
that way give more aid to his cause
than he can in private life. Which
means that if a democratic convention
offers him the nomination he will ac-
cept it. This will be the meaning that
nine out of every ten persons in the
country will put on these words. Bry-
ans friends, as a consequence. will be
encouraged. and some of them to-
morrow or the next day will ask him
this question over again with he hope
of getting an answer which will show
a little less coyness than he has dis
played for the past few days, while
some of his democratic enemies will
put the query to him with the hope of
getting some answer that will take
him altogether out of the field, or
which will appear to do this.
There is significance in the circum-
stance that the questioners in all cases
are democrats. The hopes of the one
element of the democracy and the
fears Of the other ingredient will keep
Mr. Bryan busy answering these inter
rogations along till the day of the big
convention. Bryan is large person
age still in the democratic party. The
solicitude of his friends and his foes
proves this. The republicans are show
ing less interest in him because they
know that they can win without the aid
he would furnish as n democratic can
didate. The republicans can beat any
man the democrats have in their ranks.
In the meantime. if the democrats feel
like putting up Mr.. Bryan for his third
battle. the republicans will not make
the slightest objection to their course

REBELS SUCCESSFUL.
Government Troops Forced to Re-
treat at Santa Marta Leaving 100
Dead Behind Them-HorrIbIe Atro-
cities PerDelrated.

Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 1.-THE
German steamer Valencia, which ar
rived here Wednesday from Santa
Marta. capital of the department of
Magdalena, Colombia, brings news of
a victory at Santa Marta by the
Colombian revolutionists over the
government forces.
Capt. Gronmeyer, of the Valencia.
says that last Friday the revolution
lists made n desperate attack on the
outskirts of Santa Marta. The gov
crnment troops were overwhelmed
and forced to retreat, leaving behind
them 100 dead. Immediately after
the withdrawal of the government
forces the rebels started to destroy
the railroad tracks. They derailed
several trains at various points, de-
molishing engines and cars, the latter
being chiefly fruit vans. Several lives
were also lost in these wrecks.
Saturday the revolutionists occu-
pied the banana district of Senega,
where they continued to wreck the
railroad, at the same time keeping up
their advance towards Santa Marta.
When the Valencia sailed from Santa
Marta Monday the revOlutioniSts were
SO near town that Capt. Gronmeyer
could see the flashes of their guns.
Several buildings in Santa Marta were
then blazing, having been ignited by
the few troops left there to oppose
the attack Of the revolutionists. The
town at that time was expected mo-
mentarily to surrender.
Owing to the total destruction Of
the railroad, the Valencia did not get
her cargo of fruit at Santa Marta,
Officers of the Valencia say that
horrible atrocities were committed
during the fighting by the rebels, who
chiefly used machetcs. Almost all of
the government troops killed were
found along the railroad track, their
bodies being terribly mutilatcd. They
were partially covered by branches of
banana trees.
The revolutionists gained possess
sion of Culebra without opposition
and their possession of that point has
not been disturbed. The government
is maintaining an attitude of defense
and desperate engagement is ex-
pected shortly. Business on the 18TH
mus is suspended

ONE OF THEIR ISSUES.
The De mocrnts Are Talking of MnIx-
ing Paramount the Quc"tinn of
"fIiSh Prices"

Now it is given out that one of the
vital issues that democracy will make
the next campaign will be high
prices" They will point to the fact
that the Iaboring man has to pay more
for wheat he buys than he did under
Cleveland, and that republican admin
istration brought this condition. 1t
is to be expected that democracy. that
has done nothing but bungle in its
platform for the past 40 years. or more,
would fall into about such trap as
this. They do not stop to think that
labor is getting all the way from %
per cent. to 100 per cent. more wages
per day than it id then. and easily
getting double the number Of days'
employment that they got then. They
fail to see tnat the farmer is getting
from double TO three times the amount
for his produce now that he got then.
They forget that in Clcyclaud's time
the only thing that was high was in
terest, and that now IL is the cheap
est Of all commodities. The rcpuh-
licans viii gladly go before the labor
ers and farmers and submit tn: deci-
sion to their votes. as to whcthe. they
desire starvation prices on everything
and ouc-third time employment. or iiy-

A TREASURE CAVE OF RELICS
Professor or California University
Believes Caves on McCIoud River
VIII Yield Geological CurIos.

So important are the recent discov-
cries of the University Of California
geological department in the Lime
stone caves on the McCloud river, in
Shasta, county, Cal, that Prof. John
C. Merriam, head of the palaon-
tology work, will join Student As
sistant Eustace Furlong, who is on
the scene, digging into the precious
deposits for the bone he has found.
Prof Merriam believes that Fur
long has discovered a "fssnre cave"
and that to fill this crevire in the
earth has taken thousands of years.
In this case the discoveries will lead
back to an indefinite period, and the
successive layers Cf soil and gravel
will prove yertable storehouse of
geological curiositics.
