TOO COLD AND WET
Low Temperatures Checked Crop
GrOwthrLast Week.

Washington, June 3-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
The week ending June was abnor-
mally cool in the lower Missouri, Cen
t'al Mississippi and Ohio valleys and
on the Atlantic coast northward of the
Carolinas. Frosts, more or less de-
structive, occurred from the I27th to
the 10Th in the lake region Ohio val
ley, Tennessee, Western North Caro-
lima, over the interior portions of the
middle Atlantic states and generally
throughout New England. In nearly
all districts east of the Rocky noun
tains crop growth has been checked by
low temperatures, and rains have in
terfered with farm work in O6laho oma,
Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas. On
the: Pacific coast the first part lof the
weekswas favorable, but the latter part
was much too cool, with injurious
frosts in the eastern parts of Oregon
and Washington.
Cornsbas made slow grogress 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
Illinois its condition is more favora-
BILE. Planting is nearing com pletion
in the more northerly sections.
Winter wheat has made favo rable
progress in the states of the Miss ouri
and upperlMississippi valleys and in
portions tof the lower Ohio valley.
The crop has made splendid growth
in Nebraska and general imp prove-
ment is.reported from the upper lake
regions. Some complaints of rust are
received from portions of Kansas,
Oklahoma and Missouri and of lodg-
ing in the last named state. In Ten
nessee, Kentucky, theupper Ohio valley
and the middle Atlantic states the
previously reported unfavorable con-
dition continues; thin stands and head
ing low being generally indicated.
Harvesting Is nearly finished in Tex
as, but its commencement has been
delayed in Oklahoma on account OF
rains. The crop has made good pro-
gress on the Pacific coast; is ma tur-
ing rapidly in California where har-
vesting has begun in the San Joaquin
valley.

STRIKE IN KANSAS CITY
WOrkmen Demand Ten Hours Pay
for Eight-HOurs Day

Kansas City, June 4.-Two hundred
sewer workers, employed by the II. j.
Boyd Paving Company, in Kansas
City, Kansas struck yesterday morn
ing. A gang of 6fty men employed
on the Central avenue sewer, went out
at 0 a. m. About two hours later the
news reached a gang Of $50 men, en-
ployed by the same company on the
Jersey creek sewer in the northern
part OF the city. These men immedi-
ately followed The action of the first
strikers, and at IL o'clock all work
was shut down. The men demand an
eight-hour day, with the same pay as
they are now receiving for ten hours
work.
There is an eght-hour law in Kan
sas and the workmen say they will be
able to compel the contractors to rec
ognize it. A committee of five from
the Sewer Workers union went before
the Kansas City, Kansas, council last
night and asked the assistance of that
body. Mayor Craddock informed the
men that there was an eight-hour law,
but that the countytattorney was the
man to enforceit.
Il. j. Boyd, the contractor, made
this statement: "We are paying
higher wages than any other con
tractor in the two cities. Our present
contracts with the city were made on
basis of a ten-hour day. Conse-
queuty ii We were compelled to give
the L.,u an eight-hour day and pay
them just IS much money for days
labor, we ", aid lose great amount
OF money on our contracts. The law
has been generlly disregarded by
contractors, and I'VE have figured all
our contracts with the understanding
that ten hours constituted a working
day."
Boyd says he will shut down work
before he will maintain the present
wage scale with an eight-hour work
day. He says he would be compelled
to do So

ENGLAND Is DISPLEASED
Loudon Does not Like the Boer Peace
Terms

London, June 2.-The announcement
of peace in South Africa was cele-
brated in London tonight with wild
repetition of the Mafeking celebration.
Hundreds of thousands of people
surged through the streets of London,
from Whitechapel TO Buckingham
palace, but never at any time did the
crowds equal those which created the
verb "to maflick." Tonight there was
tremendous noise in the streets, a
pandemonium of horns and cheers,
and the coarse jests of costers, but the
abandon which marked the announce
ment of the reliefs of Mafeking and
Ladysmith was lacking.
A very serious undercurrent of dis
content probably is responsible for
the fact thatLLondon has not shown
the same evidence of rejoicing as were
to be seen onl lMafeking night In some
quarters the comment on the "peace
with honor" ending of the war was
that "Great Britain has the peace and
the Beers have all the nonor."
Several members of the house of
commons declared freely tonight that
peace in South Africa might have
been secured a year earlier and upon
better terms had not the British gov
ernment been to obdurate.

LOOKED IN THE CRATER
Prof. Heilprin made a Close Inspec-
tiOn of Mont Pelee

Fort de France, Martinique, May 81
Prof. Angelo Heilprin, representing
he National Geographical society,
with three guides, assembled to the top
Of the crater on Mont Pelee's summit
Saturday. The expedition left Fort de
France last Thursday at noon. Friday
was spent in studying the newly form
ed craters on the north flank OF the
mountain. Saturday morning Prof.
Heilprin determined to attempt the as
cent to the top ofIthe crater. The vol
cano was very active but, amid a
thousand dangers, Prot Heilprin
reached the summit and looked down
into the huge crater. He saw huge
cinder cone in the center of the crater.
The opening of the crater itself is a
crevice 500 feet long and 100 feet wide.
While Prof. Heilprin was on the sum-
NIT of the volcano several violent ex-
ploeions OF steam and cinder laden
vapor took place, and again and again
his life was in danger. Ashes fell
about him in such quantities at times
as to completely obscure his vision.
One explosion of mud covered the
professor from head to foot He learn
ell las had been suspected, that there
were three separate vents through
which steam issued.
Prof Heilprin's journey down the
side ofih. IN nuntain was fully as peril
Gus as the ascent. MONT i'elee seemed
to resent the intrusion luto its pre-
cincts, and threw ON volumes of
steam, ashes and boiling hot mud.
The professor made the discovery
that,the crater at the head of tie river
Fallaise has synchrUnous eruptiUns
with the crater at the summit Of the
volcano, and elects precisely the same
matter at such times. The river Fall
aise crater and the crater at the sum-
NIT showed a new phenomenon. Mud
was thrown up in high columns. Here
tofore the mud has bubbled or boiled
out and flowed downward in huge
streams. In the course of one eruption
of the river crater q mass of intensely
hot mud was elected. This flow reach
ed the rum distillery on the We've
plantation and extinguished all the
fires there
