Are Opposed to Cuban Reciprocity,
but New York Resolutions Were
Turned Down.
Cincinnati, May 6.-The fourth an
nual convention of the National Cigar
Leaf Tobacco Association spent the
second day of it's session discussing
Cuban reciprocity. After indorsing
the recommendations in the annual ad-
dress of President John r. Young Of
Philadelphia, delivered yesterday, the
convention to-day defeated the reso-
lutions that had been drawn up by the
New York delegates in accordance
with President Young's recommenda-
ton. The following preamble was
unanimously adopted.
Whereas, we are absolutely opposed
to the so-called Cuban reciprocity bill
as passed by the House; and desire to
specify certain essentials which a bill
passed for the purpose of affording re-
lief to Cuba must contain to secure
our support"
The first resolution that followed was
for uniform specific duty on all to-
baccos and when it was defeated the
New York delegates withdrew the other
resolutions and a recess was taken to
p. m. A majority of the delegates
seem to favor opposition now to the
reciprocity bill without reference to
specifications in the tariff,

THE GEORGIA CROP REPORT.
Lack of Rain flinders Growth of

Lack of Rain flinders Growth of
Crops, Though Favorable to Pro-
Rress of Farm Work.
Atlanta, May 6.-The summary of the
Georgia crop report this week is as fol-
lows:
THE weather Of the week, like that
of the preceding week, was favorab Bile
to the progress of farm work, but detri-
mental to the growth of crops. The
rainfall was insufficient except in the
eastern counties, where beneficial
showers occurred on the LIST. A
drought is prevailing over the greater
portion of the southern section, and all
crops are suffering for moisture. The
temperature averaged above the nor
over were registered in nearly all sec
lions, and in numerous localities the
reading reached above IS degrees, par
ticularly on the 4th. Cotton planting
is practically completed in the middle
and is nearing completion in the north
ern section, where early paintings are
coming up to good stands. Late plant
ings do not terminate well and are
coming irregularly, owing to lack of
moisture. Gardens, oats and wheat
are being injured by the drought. SUI
gar cane is generally in good condition.
Fruit prospects, except for pears, con-
tinue favorable as a rule, although re-
ports of shedding of peaches are be-
coming rather frequent"

F. BRETE HARTE DEAD.
Famous American Author Dies Sud-

Famous American Author Dies Sud-
denly From Throat Affection
While I'm England.
London. May 6.-F. Bret Harte. the
American author, died here last night.
He was born at Albany, N. Y, on Aug.
%, 1899
Mr.. Harte died suddenly at the Red
House. Camberley, near Aldershot.
from hemorrhage, caused by an af-
lection of the throat.
Mr.. Harte had been suffering from
swelled tonsils since December last, but
he did not consider the attack to be
serious. A week ago he went to visit
friends at Camberley and was present
at lunch, as usual yesterday. He sud
denly became i'll in the afternoon, went
to bed and died in a few hours. His
end was peaceful.
Francis Bret Harte was born in AL
bany, N. Y, in August 1889, and re-
ceived his primary education in that
city. His father died when he was
quite a youth, and young Harte went
to California with his mother. He be-
gan teaching school at Sonora, in that
state at about the age of sixteen years
The school proved unsuccessful, and
after short time he engaged in min
ing. When that failed to yield an in
come he became a printer, and worked
at the case for a short time. In 1857
he went to San Francisco and became
a compositor in the Office of the Golden
Era. In this paper he first began to
print his sketches of frontier life, which
were at first contributed anonymously.
The editors, however, learned his iden-
tity and invited him to accept an edt-
torial position. That was the begin
ming of his literary career. In 1864 he
received the appointment of secretary
Of the United States mint at San Fran
cisco, and while holding that position
wrote his first novels. In 1868 he es-
tablished the Overland Monthly. The
second issue of this publication con-
tanned one of his most famous pieces,
THE Luck of Roaring Camp" a story
of mining life. The next number con-
tanned 1.-THE Outcasts of Poker Flats"
a realistic story, considered by many
his best production. In 1870 appeared
his plain Language From Truthful
James" popularity known as the
Heather Chinee," a satire against the
supposition that the Chinese were
shiftless and weakminded. During the
same year he received the appointment
of professor of recent literature in the
University of California, but in the
spring of the next year he resigned the
chair and went to New York to engage
in literary work. In 1878 he was APP
pointed consul at Crefeld, Germany,
whence he was transferred in 1880 to
Glasgow, Scotland, where he continued
until 1885. In 1856 he determined to re-
side abroad permanently, which he did
until the time of his death. He was
voluminous writer, having published
some twenty-five books, besides nu-

Rainfall UnevenIy Distributed.
Early Planted Cotton Shows Good
Z Stands, but Late Planted Is Irreg-
uIar.
Washington, May 6.-The Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
Nearly the entire country east Of the
Rocky Mountains has experienced
week of highly favorable temperature
conditions, and the central valleys, lake
regions, Middle Atlantic states and
portions of Texas and Oklahoma have
received generally ample but in places
unevenly distributed rainfall. Excess
sive rains have retarded farm work in
Northern New England and the north
ern portion of the spring wheat region,
while the Central and Eastern Gulf
states and portions of the South Allan
tic coast are in need of rain.
Except in portions of Iowa and Mis-
souri,. where corn planting has been
interfered with by heavy rains, this
work has made very favorable prog
rcss in the states of the central val
legs, and the early planted is gem
orally terminating well. In the South
ern states corn has made favorable
progress, though needing rain in por-
tions of the East Gulf districts.
A very general improvement in the
condition of winter wheat is reported
from the central valleys, lake region
and Middle Atlantic states. The crop,
however, has suffered in portions OF
Nebraska, Kansas and Texas, and in
the last named state has failed so rap
idly in sections that some will be plow-
ed up for other crops.
Oats have made very favorable prog
ress, except in Nebraska, Texas and
portions of Missouri and Alabama
The crop is ripening in the Southern
States, harvesting having begun in
South Carolina.
Good stands of the early planted cot
ton are generally reported, but the
late planted, especially in the central
and eastern portions of the cotton belt,
is coming up irregularly. Planting is
nearly finished in the northern por-
tons of the belt and the early planted
is in good state of cultivation. Some
replanting has been necessitated in
Texas by high wind and drifting soil
Except in North Carolina, tobacco
plants, though late, are plentiful and
healthy and are generally improved.
Transplanting in Florida and North
Carolina has been delayed on account
of lack of seasons"
The prospect for peaches in the Ohio
valley is not promising, but elsewhere
the outlook is very favorable, al
though dropping is reported from South
Carolina and Georgia. The reports
respecting other fruits are generally
encouraging

Washington. May 6.-Judge Maddox
and Senator Clay have succeeded in
obtaining an order from the Postoffice
Department for the establishment of
free rural deliveries throughout Cobb
county. The matter has been pending
for some time and the formal order
was issued to-day.
In addition to the amendments in be-
half of the Atlanta public building
and that at Macon. which have already
been introduced in the Senate, several
other increases will be asked. At the
instance of Mr.. Howard, Senator Clay
has introduced an amendment increas-
ing the amount appropriated for the
Athens building. so as to make the to-
tai 100000 instead of $4,000. as it
passed the House.

amount carried in the House bill for

providing for new building at Gaines

Members of congress are in receipt
of many complaints about the delay in
the installation of the free rural de-
lievery routes where they have been
ordered. This delay is due to the fact
that the system is being inauguarated
in all parts of the country and the
agents of the Department are kept
very busy elsewhere. Some are at
work in the South, but as there are
but forty agents and work is going on
in forty-five states it is inevitable that
there must be delay in some quarters

Extreme Secrecy Maintained ms to
the Dispatches From Castle Loo.
The Hague. May 7.-Advices received
here from Castle Loo, dated l o'clock
this morning, stated that Queen Will
helmina's condition again excites grave
anxiety. Another consultat on of the
Queens doctors was held at IL o'clock
last night. The result of this consulta-
ton is not known. Extreme secrecy
is maintained as to the contents of the
kilograms dispatched from Loo Palace.
This and other measures are believed
to indicate that the condition of Her
Majesty is much graver than appears
from the official bulletins. 1t is said
the Queen is so weak that she has
been unable to take any nourishment
since last Saturday.
At the Queens bedside.
DR.. Roessingh never leaves Her
Majesty's bedside except for a brief
and much needed rest. when he is al
ways replaced by DR.. Pot.
After the consultation held last night
Prof. Rosenstein was summoned to the
palace. lie was consulted before the
operation of last Sunday.
A special government telegraph wire
has been established between Loo Pal
ace and The Hague, and DIR. Kuyper,
the Dutch Premier. is informed every
half hour of the progress of the royal
patient.
The Queen Mother and the Prince
Consort remained continually at Her
MaJesty's bedside. DIR. Roessingh care
fully dictates whatever news concern
ing Queen Welhelmina's condition
is issued from the palace and
he declines to say anything
further concerning his patient. 1t is
understood that although the official
bulletins represent the Queens tenn
perature as normal, it invariably rises
toward midnight, and that never for a
moment since last Saturday has there
been any cessation of anxiety.
The weather at Loo Palace continues
very cold.
