ATTEMPT TO MAKE PRECEDENT.
Appropriation for Legation Quarters in
Havana Omitted.

Washington, May 20.-The attempt
made by Senator Cullom, of Illinois
and the members of the senate foreign
relations committee during the past
week to establish a precedent by the
United States in paying rent for iega-
ton quarters out of the public funas
failed. 1t was made In connection with
the bill providing an appropriation for
the minister TO Cuba and the consular
service to be established in the island.
Altho it was not generally known, 1t
is q fact that the United States does not
pay for the buildings it occupies on
foreign soil, with the exception of the
building in China. Each ambassador
and each minister must rent house
cut of his salary or from his private
means. In the case of nearly all Of the
ambassadors of the United States the
rent of their embassies alone is in eX-
cess Of their salaries. The ambassa-
dor to Great Britain pays out in house
rent $4,000 more than his salary His
entire annual expenditures amount to
ten times his annual compensation
from this government. The senators
thought to change this condition and
establish precedent by providing for
the rent of quarters in Havana, Cuba,
with an appropriation of $4,000. In the
conference over the bill, however, the
provision was so vigorously, opposed by
the house conferees that it had to be
omitted,

RED RIVER WHEAT BELT.
Excessive Rains Have Seriously In
iured Prospects.

st. Paul, May 20.-Whiie the condi-
tons Immediately along the Red river
were bad enough prior to the recent
RAINFALL the present situation is eN-
tremely serious. The soil was just dry
ing up so seeding could be commenced
Wednesday and Thursday. and now 1t
will be impossible to get on the under
week of hot sunshine. No effort will be
made in many localities to seed wheat,
and If the land finally dries up barley or
flax will be put in. The wet belt eX-
tends all the way from Fargo TO Graf
ton, making a strip of ten miles wide
along both the Minnesota and North
Dakota sides of the river for 125 miles.
The Red river valley lands outside this
wet territory have been generally seed
ed and the wheat is looking fine. The
crops in the western and central parts
of the state never looked better. The
extreme wet belt will reduce the wheat
acreage in Cass, Trail, Grand Forks and
Walsh counties from 10 to 10 per cent.
The largest increase will be in the par
ley acreage, with the flax and corn fol-
lowing closely after. The worst feat
ure of the excessive rain is the fact that
it is hitting the section that has had
poor crops for two years. The absolute
necessity of some method of drainage
in the Red river valley is hown by the
present condition, which will practical
ly ruin crops on the finest wheat lands
in the world.

A BIG APPLE CROP.
Larses. Crop Since 1897 is Expected
This Year.

This Year.
The apple crop this year, in the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri valleys, promises
to be the largest since the enormous
crop of Of 1897. This is indicated by
the reports received from various sec
lions by the Western Fruit-Grower,
despite recent reports received of whole
sale destruction by canker worms.
Growers Of apples everywhere. with
the possible exception of New York
state, where cold weather has pre-
vailed, and 1t is feared heavy frosts
have injured fruit, are greatly en-
couraged In the middle west the
IDEAL the bloom was heavy and all re-
ports are that the fruit has set well.
Canker worms are reported to be do
ing some damage but this is not general
and but little injury to the crop is ex-
pected from this source. The growers
are doing great deal Of spraying and
hence are looking forward to big
yield.
Reports from southern Missouri show
the apple crop to be in first class con-
dition and say that eighty per cent of
a full crop Will be harvested this fall.
Illinois reports are also of the same ia
vorable nature with Ben Davis, Jona-
than and Wine Sap applies making the
best showing. In Iowa the indications
are for seventy-five per cent of crop,
while reports from various sections in
Kansas estimate the yield at about
ninety per cent. The prospect for APP
pies in Nebraska is reported AL.
AS regards the drought this spring,
reports from all the states named show
that the apple crop has suffered no Sc
rious damage from this source AID in
fact nearly all other fruits have not to
any considerable extent been affected
by the dry weather.
be better than was expected. Plants
are scarce, yet the late rains thruout
Missouri and Kansas have brought out
beds which were supposed to be beyond
relief The scarcity of plants will likely
allow the shortage to grow larger and
m this way the shortage will be made
up, to some extent. However, straw
berries will be scarce and good prices
will rule for good stock
Other berries and small fruits are
coming out and fair crops in all lines
are looked for. Peaches are reported
scarce in nearly every section of the
Missouri and Mississippi valleys and
the crop will as result, be very small.

TO DEFEAT FOWLER MEASURE.
Western Members Likely to Vote
Against the Bill.

Washington, May 20.-Advocates of
the Fowler currency bill, providing for
the retirement of the greenbacks, the
establishment of branch banks, and an
asset currency. have been very busy
during the week, making canvass of
the house to ascertain the feeling of the
members with regard to the measure
which will be considered at the caucus
of the house republicans Tuesday
night.
The bill has been slated for passage
by the house leaders, and they are par
ticularly anxious that it be Endorsed by
the caucus.
Mr.. Fowler, who has been most ac-
tive in urgins the measure, is confident
that the caucus will show sufficient
support for the bill to warrant its
adoption as party measure, and its
passage by party vote. While he and
most of the house leaders are confident
that such action will be- taken, there is
no denial of the fact that the measure
will be strongly opposed by many re-
publicans in the caucus. The action Of
the bankers convention at Kansas
City, in which resolutions opposing the
DfanCn DdllR system were duODteu, HAS
had it's effect upon members of the
house. In addition to these resolutions.
the owners and officers of smaller
banks turnout the country have COM
menced a campaign with their con-
gressmen against this feature of the
bill. This opposition is not limited to
any state or section. 1t comes from
every state in the union, and is voiced
by all of the smaller banking interests.
Congressman Cannon, of Illinois, Will
lead the fight against the measure in
the caucus. He bases his opposition
almost entirely upon the provision of
the bill which allows banks to establish
branches turnout the country. The ILL
rois republicans in the house, with one
exception, are opposed to the bill. All
of the Kansas republicans are against
it. but it is understood that every MEM
Der of the Iowa delegation will favor
the measure In spite of the assurances
of Mr.. Fowler and the house leaders,
the indications are that the bill Will noi
be acted upon at this session.
