FRosTs AND COOL WEATHER
Grain and Fruit Crops Injured In
Some Sections by Unseason-
able Weather.

Washington, June 1.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows:
The week ending Tune 2 was abnormally
cool in the lower Missouri, central Missis-
sippi and Ohio valleys and. on the Atlantic
coast northward of the Carolinas. Frosts.
more or less destructive, occurred from the
9th to the 29th in the lake region, Ohio val
ley, Tennessee, western North Carolina.
over the interior portions of the middle At
lantic states and generally throughout New
England. In nearly all districts east of the
Rocky mountains crop growth has been
checked by low temperatures, and rains
have interfered with farm work in Okla
homa, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas.
On the Pacific coast the first part of the
week was favorable, but the latter part was
much too cool, with injurious frosts in
the eastern parts of Oregon and Washing
ton.
Corn has made slow growth over most OF
the corn belt, and has suffered injury from
frost in the Ohio valley and lake region. In
the states of the lower Missouri valley the
crop is much in need of cultivation, warmth,
and sunshine; in Nebraska, Iowa and Illi-
nois Its condition Is more favorable. Plant
ing is nearing completion in the more
northerly sections.
Winter wheat has made favorable
progress in the states Of the Missouri and
uPPSi MlsSlSSlppl ValleyS, ana IN portions
of the lower Ohio valley. The crop has
made splendid growth in Nebraska, and a
general Improvement is reported from the
upper LAKE region. Some complaints Of
rust are received from portions of Kansas,
Oklahoma and Missouri and of lodging in
the last named state. In Tennessee, Ken
lucky, the upper Ohio valley, and the mid
die Atlantic states the previously reported
unfavorahle condition continues, thin
stands and heading low being generally in
dicated. Harvesting is nearly finished in
Texas, but Its commencement has been
delayed in Oklahoma on account of rains,
The crop has made good progress on the
Pacific coast; is maturing rapidly in Cali
fornia where harvesting has begun in the
San Joaquin valley.
Spring wheat is stooling we'll and is maxi
Ing splendid growth throughout the spring
wheat region. except on low lands in Wis
consin. In Iowa dry weather is needed to
prevent too rank growth.
The outlook for oats continues unfayor-
able from the middle Atlantic states and
Ohio valley southwark to the east gulf and
South Atlantic coasts. In the Missouri and
upper Mississippi valleys and lake region
the general outlook is encouraging. Har-
vest11g is completed In Texas and continues
In the east gulf and South Atlantic states.
Frosts of the Goth probably injured fruit
IN the northern portion Of the middle At
lantic states. The reports in general re-
specting fruit are not favorable.
In the middle Atlantic states and upper
OHIO valley, grass made slow growth, but
throughout the central valleys, lake re-
gion and New England a general Improve
ment is reported.

CAUSED A
Gen. White Tells story of Michigan
Military Clothing Frauds-Col.
Sutton IMPLICATED.

Lansing, Mich, June William l..
White, ex-quartermaster general of
the Michigan national guard, on
Tuesday in his testimony before the
supreme court, in the disbarment
proceedings against Attorney E. S.
Roos, of Kalamazoo, told for the first
time the full story of the state mill
tary clothing frauds, and declared
that Col. Eli R. Sutton, of Detroit.
who was acquitted of completely in
them by a jury, was a party to the
fraud and received his share of the
profits. His testimony created a sen
sation in view of Sutton's Indictment
and subsequent acquittal after a long
and bitterly fought trial. The dis
barment proceedings against Roos
are based on his alleged connection.
with the frauds as a director of the
Henderson-Ames company at Kala-
maZoo.
In 1899 a quantity of military
clothing that the state held under
the Spanish war fund act was sold
to the 'Illinois Supply Company by
the state military board for $10,5oo,
and then the same clothing subse-
quently was r%epurchased by the
board for the use of the national
guard for nor than $4,000.
White testified that the fictitious
"Illinois Supply Company was com
posed of himself, Eli r. Sutton, OF
Detroit; Gen. Arthur f. Marsh, of
Allegan, Inspector general of the
Michigan national guard and a mem.
Der of the military board, and the
Henderson-Ames company, of Kala-
mazoo. The plan of organizing the
fictitious company was suggested,
White said, by an agent of the Hen
derson-Ames company. After the
sale of the clothing to the "Illinois
Supply Company" it's shipment to the
Henderson-Ames factory at Kalama-
zoo, where it was reticketed and re-
furnished, and then it's repurchase by
the state from that company as new
clothing, White testified that the
original Investment in the Illinois
Supply company and $4,000 in profits
was returned to him and he divid-
ed it among Sutton, Marsh and him
self. While Attorney General Oren
refuses to discuss the matter, the i'm
preston prevails that Gen. Whites
testimony will result in the arrest of
various parties for perjury.
White and Marsh both pleaded
guilty in the circuit court to the
charges brought against them as a
result of the deal and were pardoned
by the late Gov. Pingree.

BoER WOMEN WEEP WITH 10Y.
Rejoicing In Concentration Camps
When News Is Received That
Peace Had Been Concluded.

Pretoria, Transvaal, June 4.-The
signing of the peace agreement on
Saturday night last was carried out
with the least possible ceremony.
Lord Kitchener and Lord Miner
and Gen. De Wet and others repre-
senting the Orange Free State and
Gen. Schalk-Burger and others ,of
the Iransvaal government quietly
met in the dining-room of the resi-
dence occupied by the burgher del
.egates, adjoining Lord Kitchener's
house. The document lay on a table,
ready. Amid profound silence the
Boer leaders took a pen, in order of
precedence, and affixed their sigma
lures, thus surrendering the indie
pendence for which they had so gal
lantly struggled. The document was
then entrusted to Col. Hamilton,
Lord K~itchener's military secretary,
and Capt. Marker, a ~aide-de-camp,
who left Pretoria to deliver it to
to King Edward.
There was great rejoicing in all
the concentration camps upon the
news that peace had been concluded.
The occupants assembled in open
spaces and chanted psalms, the
women weeping with 10y.
London, June "A dispatch to the
Times from Pretoria, dated Sunday,
June l, says that although the
speeches of the Boer delegates at
the Vereeniging conference were
mostly hostile, the motion to accept
the peace conditions was carried al
most unanimously.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March S.-Consderable in
terest centered today in the bank state
ment and pending its publication opera
lions in the stock market were without
much significance except in a few stocks.
The early market showed some irregu-
larity. but the prominent railroad
stocks were firmly held and the limited
selling was chiefly in the specialties, par
ticularly Colorado Fuel. Moderate buy
ing of Missouri Pacific and Rock Island
advanced those stocks l TO points, and
there was some disposition to cover later
in the specialties, bringing the entire
market above last night. Colorado Fuel
was lifted 2A above yesterdays close,
but dealings were unimportant in the
other metal stocks except Amalgamated
Copper. which showed momentary
strength. There was some renewal of
the recent demand for inactive stocks,
but material advances were confined to
Pacific Coast common and the second
preferred, Westinghouse Electric, Min
neapolis and ST. Louis and Pacific Mail,
the latter being bought on expectations
of a renewed agreement with the Pana-
ma Railroad Company. Publication of

Prices. however, did not yield much ex-
cept in some of the stocks which had
notably advanced earlier, and there was
no decided pressure at any point. Some
satisfaction was felt at the loan re-
duction Of $4,000, 900, this being the first
in nearly two months. The immense
cash loss was quite generally attributed
to the vagaries of the banks average
system. With surplus reserves down to
less than $4,0000O0 and the gold export
movement unchecked. the opinion natur-
ally prevails that higher money rates
are imminent. The stock market closed

Dress Hints, Custom Tailoring

You can't expect to get perfect suit
of clothes unless they are made to your
own measurements. Ready-made suits
may fit by accident, but made-to-order
clothes do so by design.
The name Of Whiting Bros. on suit
of clothes means that it's just as per-
feet as human skill can make it.
Don't go in for the ito extreme" in
fashion-choose any of the styles dis
played by us-they are strictly correct,
but are designed for refined and sensible
dressers.
Whiting Bros. have made this reputation
by honest tailoring, and it's honesty that
counts
Don't disregard fashion. He who does
so disputes the taste Of the multitude and
makes himself obnoxious.
eff YOU want a thing done we'll you
must do it yourself" is a saying that
doesn't apply very well to the making
of YOUR clothes. Better leave the work
in the hands of high-class tailor like
Whiting Bros.
Never wear a Prince Albert to an even
ing function. 1t is very bad taste. Even
ing dress and the Tuxedo are the only
permissible garments.
Don't wea- tan shoes with Prince
Albert, OF a silk hat with your business
sack-they don't look we'll.

New York. March S.-There was fair
demand today for various descriptions
of cotton goods and the tone of the mar
ket was good throughout with an up
ward tendency in all staple lines Cot
ton yarns were strong for weaving varie-
ties and generally half a cent per pound
higher Sales of hosiery out of stock
were made at last weeks prices but for
ward deliveries were irmer. Worsted
and wooden yarns were firm with a fair
demand. Linen yarns were very firm
and jute yarns steady.
New York, March S.-The cotton
market opened easy with prices to z
points lower under heavy realizing,
which was, in fact, merely a continue
tion of the liquidation started in mid
afternoon yesterday. Public and private
cables were very bearish and estimated
the selling movement and even created
a feeling of confidence among heretofore
discouraged bears. Futures in Liver
pool were down 3 to 4 points, and spot
cotton declined 1-32d on sales of 5000
bales. The first dash to sell carried
May off TO $50 and July to 1888. But
after the call covering by yesterdays
sellers and substantial buying for the
account of investors who. sold on the
late bulge sent May up to SS4 and July
to S.9S, with the market once more very
steady in tone. Port receipts were large
again, early estimated at $4,000 bales
against $500 same day last year. Ru-
NOR had il that some 100000 to 1000 900
spindles had been shut down, and that
conditions for the moment were less
promising. All the forenoon speculation
was active and general, though the or
ders Of many commission houses, calling
for the purchase of cotton, sold higher,
were sold down we'll into the 70s for
May and July. The market for futures
closed steady in tone with prices to 6
