Otherwise the Crop Is Doing Well.
Drought Affects Corn in Central
and West Gulf states.
Washington. June 17.-The following
is the weather bureaus weekly sum
mary of crop conditions:
Highly favorable temperature condi-
tions prevailed during the week in the
great corn states of the Central val
legs. Abundant rains have efectually
relieved drought in the South Atlantic
states, but the almost entire absence of
rain in the central and west gulf states
has intensified drought conditions pre-
viously existing in those sections.
In Kentucky, Tennessee and general
ly throughout the Middle and South
Atlantic states corn is doing well, but
is suffering seriously from drought in
the central and west gulf states. and Is
being cut for fodder in portions of
Texas.
Winter wheat has made generally
favorable progress during the past
week. Harvest has begun in Kansas
and Southern Illinois, has progressed
under favorable conditions in Missouri,
Is about finished in the Carolinas and
Tennessee and with very promising out
look in Southern Nebraska.

the crop is holding on well and the

The season has been very unfavor-
able for transplanting tobacco in the
Middle Atlantic states and Kentucky,

Atlanta, June i7.-The Georgia crop
report for the week just ended is as
follows:
The greater portion of the week was
very warm. maximum temperatures
exceeding 100 degrees were registered
on several dates, but cooler conditions
obtained at the close. On Saturday
night and Sunday heavy to excessive
showers occurred in the majority of the
counties, particularly in the eastern
and southern sections. At numerous
points the rainfall ranged from two to
nearly six inches, effectually break
ing the prevailing drought.
The northwestern counties re-
ceived the least amount of rainfall
80 that the supply OF moisture there is
hardly ample for present needs. and
more viii soon be required. The gen.
eral condition OF all crops, with few
exceptions, is considered highly favor
able, and the outlook is flattering. Cot
ton continues in fine condition in the
majority of counties; 1t is in a good
state of cultivation, is blooming pro-
fusely, In the South, and taking on
forms and squares in the Middle and
Northern sections. Lice are, however,

THEIR TRIAL POSTPONED.
New Evidence Discovered i'm Coffee
County Murder Case.

New Evidence Discovered i'm Coffee
County Murder Case.
Douglas, Ga. June 1.-THE prelimi-
nary hearing in the case of John High
smith, Pink Raby and James Solomons,
charged by the coroner's jury with the
offense of murder in the killing of the
negro Frank Thomas on June Z, has
been deferred until Wednesday, June
Is. The web of circums tantial evidence
against these young men gets closer,
and unless they can show how they got
rid of the negro it Is likely to go hard
with them. New evidence has been
discovered, and the trial is likely to de-
velop the fact of an organized gang,
who were out for Doodle.
In the City Court Miss L. 8.
Guthrie and Luther Pixson were found
guilty of dynamiting fish, and each
sentenced to pay a fine of $50 and costs
or twelve months on the chaingang.
Full reports from Saturday and
Sundays wind and rain storm give no
damage, only that corn was so badly
blown down that further blowing will
be abandoned. The rain was worth
thousands of dollars to Coffee county,
as the farms were all suffering from
drought.

Bad Gang In the Regiment That
Had to BE Dealt with.

Plattsburg. N. Y, June lin the
court-martial proceedings in the case
of Capt. John L. Hines to-day, First
Sergeant Patrick Mcdonald testified
that on Capt. Hines order he strung
Private Peniow up by the thumbs. On
cross-examination Sergt Mcdonald
admitted that Peniow was not severe
~ hurt, and that ct the end Of about
five minutes Capt. Hines ordered him
cut down and sent back to his cell.
For the defense Capts. w. II. Sage,
Samuel Seay and H. L. Laubach. all
of the Thirty-third Infantry, testified
to the large number of robberies and
assaults Of almost daily occurrence
that took place while the Thirty-third
was in Jolo, of the effect these had in
encouraging the native Moros to acts
of lawlessness; that there seemed
to be an organized band in the
regiment, and that 1t was necessary to
adopt drastic measures and summary
punishment. They also testified that
the arrest and conviction Of Peniow
practically broke up the reign Of ter
ror" as one witness termed it, and no
more disorder occurred. The court
reached a verdict which was sent to
Washington.

Congressman Fleming.


Washington, June 17.-Representa-
tive Fleming to-day secured a favor
able report on Senator Bacon's bill
providing that at least one term OF
the Circuit Court of Appeals shall be
held in Atlanta annually. There was
lively session OF the House Judiciary
Committee over this bill. and Mr..

Texas and Alabama members.
The Georgia member OF the COM

Washington, June 1.-THE Senate
Committee on Naval Affairs to-day
authorized Senator Hale to make a
favorable report upon Senator Nc
Comas' bill, giving Admiral Schley the
full pay of rear admiral on the ac-
tive list OF the navy. AS a retired
officer he now receives only three
fourths of the pay of a rear admiral
on the active list. The bill was
amended by the committee so as to
eliminate the preamble reciting that
the admiral was in absolute command
of the American forces at the time of
the battle with Cervera's feet off San
tiago.

START WAS UNEVENTFUL.
Evans Is Trying to Get Up a Row
with Latimer.

Columbia, s. c., June 1.-THE start
in the long, hot, dusty two months
race was uneventful. The senatorial
aspirants are evidently feeling their
way. If fireworks occur in this race
it will be between Evans and Latimer.
The latter is anxious to have a quiet
time, but Evans seems to be out to dis
turb his peace. He alluded to him sew
eral times to-day in a sneering man
ner, and said he was one who helped
pull the Democratic party back to it's
mornings, when another (meaning Lati-
mer) was leading it to the Populist
camp. Latimer supported McLaurin in
his race against Evans four years ago,
and recently explained his course by
saying he was forced to take the least
