AT FIRST WAS BAD.

Washington, May If the Cuban
reciprocity measure is brought before
the senate in its present form, shall
vote for it," said Senator William A
Harris to the correspondent of the
State Journal today. i shall vote for
the measure because, with the Morris

what shape the bill will assume In its
original form, it seems to me that it
struck a severe blow at the farmers OF
the south and west, while giving mater

upon his arrival here. Here is his most
to the Washington Post:
kansas was not seriously affected by
the recent hot spell The thermometer
did not go so high in Kansas as it did
in other western states, and then there
had been plenty of rain there and the
wheat was in such condition that a short
hot spell could not injure it. The high
wirds were worse on the wheat crop of
the west than the heat The winds I'M
cover the grain and damage it, but in
Kansas the soil was SO moist that it
could not be raised by the wind.
