suit of the conference between Gov.
Stone and President Mitchell at Har-
rishurg tomorrow.

.'Miss Alfce"-The Americans Bid
den Farewell on the Field After n
Magnificent Cavalry Charge Led
by the Emperor-Prince Henry
May Come Over Again in April.
Berlin, Sept. 12.-Emperor William,
in saying goodbye to Gems. Corbin.
Young and Wood to-day, remarked that
he was specially interested in three
Americans. He admired President
Roosevelt unmeasuredly. He admired
mis- versatility, courage, power for hard
work and insight into the needs of his
country. His majesty added that he
watched Mayor Seth Lows admins
tration of New York because he
thought it important to the CONNER
cial world that New York city should
be well governed. He also said he was
very sorry Andrew d. White, the
United States ambassador, was leaving
his court. He had the most cordial
feeling for him personally because of
the man he is, and for his services in
fostering good will between Germany
and the United States.
The Emperor sent some personal
messages to President Roosevelt
through Gen. Corbin and asked to be
remembered especially to Miss Alice
as he called Miss Roosevelt.
The Emperor conversed with each of
the Americans and told them how
much he had enjoyed their visit. The
farewell took place on the field just
after Emperor William returned from
leading the cavalry charge, which con-
cluded the maneuvers. He had BIZ
vouacked again with the cavalry, and
had ridden with them thirty-two miles
to-day in q wide detour, from a posi-
ton in front of the right flank of the
Reds (Russians) to their rear di-
vision. Nearly 10000 horsemen left the
camp at 4:45 o'clock and the recall was
sounded at 11:05 a. m Gen. Corbin,
who rode down the line Immediately
afterward, said he did not see a horse
which was blown out" He considered
it to be magnificent performance and
did not believe any cavalry in the
world could surpass it.

Gen. Corb1n and Earl Roberts Doth
said, in summing UP their impression
! of the maneuvers. that the German
army is the most wonderful I'm the
world. u.
There may possibly be a difference

possibility of Prince Henry of Prussia's
second visit to the United States EN-
peror William said Prince Henry
might go next April. when the statue
of Frederick of Great is unveiled at
Washington.
Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee
told the Americans that he hoped next
year to see them in the United States.
The cavalry charge to-day was as
fine a show as that of yesterday, and
from a strategical viewpoint it was al
together possible. The Blues" Ger

masses of infantry by a terrific fire
from thirty machine guns and forty
pieces of artillery and then. when the

THE VESTS CROPS
SECRETARY WILSON TALKS or
RECENT TOUR.
FARMERS ARE IN CLOVER.
CORN AND WHEAT CROPS ARE I'M
MENSE.

Hundreds of Millions of Dollars in
Grain Now Await the Sickle-Thc
Grass Crop Also Very Good and the
Secretary Predicts More Beef and
Consumer Egyptian Cotton in
Texas Immune to Boil Worm, Says
Mr.. Wilson.
Washington, Sept. 12.-Secretary
Wilson, who returned last night from
trip through the West to-day sum-
married the agricultural conditions in
the states he visited. These states in
Guided Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Him
was a great abundance of crops gem
orally in that region.
There will be a good corn crop" he
said. Corn is substantially out of the
wav of the frost.
1.-THE corn crop in parts of Kansas,
Nebraska and Indiana probably is the
finest on record. There has been more
hundreds of millions of dollars de-
pending on the ripening of this crop
this year than the ordinary person has
ever realized. While the crop may not
be a record-br breaker, the quality of the
corn is splendid, and. with the exceo-
ton of the Southern states, the yield
per acre is very heavy. In the South
the drought has somewhat affected the
corn croa.
THE wheat crop of the West this
year is also very fine. and what may
be considered as really the most i'm
portant crop of all-the grass crop-ls
exceedingly good. The census tells us
that there has been a great increase
during the past ten years in the num-
Der of cattle in the United States. This
action, taken together with the fine
crop of grass. insures lower prices of
meat. do not believe that the price of
meat, however. will ever be as low as
it has been in the past, for the simple
reason that the American people are
more prosperous than ever before ard
are eating more meat than yer he
fore. However, the exceedingly high
prices of meat will be thing of the
past as soon as the present feeders
get fattened up to a beef condition.
Another thing that will tend
to keep the price of meat
q little above the former
low price is the demand of England
for our meats.
Egyptian Cotton Success.
81 have just received from Texas a
report which states that experiments
for the eradication of the Mexican
cotton boil worm have demonstrated
that this disastrous insect will not
touch Egyptian cotton. The depart
ment has been experimenting with the
raising of Egyptian cotton for several
years with marked success. If this
last report proves to be true 1t will
undoubtedly result in the planting of
Egyptian cotton In Texas in the flu
ture.
What may be considered as another
important step in agriculture is the
progress the department is making in
the development of a fine tobacco fill
er. Several years ago the department
began its work in the tobacco industry
by endeavoring to develop a wrapper
tobacco of the finest quality. We are
making these experiments in Ohio and
Texas. In the development of filler
tobacco attention is only paid to the
aroma. This aroma is very often
found in Havana tobacco, but not
always, owing to the deterioration Of
the crop"

San Francisco, Sept. 12.-Gen. T. d.
Sharretts, commissioner of the United
States in fixing the customs duties for
China, returned to-day on the steamer
China. CE,lr. Sharretts said:
Il found myself much in the minority
and also sool. found that the other ma
tions seemed to be mainly DESTROYS of

ITO show the attitude of the other
commissioners, let me speak of the
duty on cotton goods. One price was
put on goods 81 inches wide, and other
and higher duties on goods of less
width Cotton goods of the United
States are of less width and
cotton goods from England
are forty inches wide. Probably, too.
American cotton goods. being narrow
er, are worth less money, and yet were
to be compelled to pay higher duty.
This in part was remedied."
