FORCES OF CASTRO
CONCENTRATING

Willemstad, July 31.-All the eastern
ports of Venezuela, including BARGE
Iona, have been abandoned by Castro,
whose forces are being concentrated
near La Victoria. Castro still controls
tn" situation and a single defeat of the
reVOlutionists probably would render
him arbiter of the country's future.

CLIMATE AND CROP REPORT.
Harvesting Delayed but Crops Gen.
orally Promise Well.


orally Promise Well.
The Wisconsin weekly crop bull
letin for July 20 says that reports
from correspondents show that crops
are generally in very promising con-
dition, although the frequent showers
have delayed the harvesting of grain
il some sections, and the wet condition
of the soil has rendered the use Of
binders difficult. The work of secur-
ing the hay crop has been delayed by
the frequent rains, and very little has
thus far been stored without more or
less damage. Taking the state as a
whole, there has been no great damage
as yet on account of wet weather, but
the farmers are anxiously hoping Tor
week of fair weather in order to com
plete haying and harvesting of grain.
The general temperature conditions
during the week were about normal al
though the nights were quite cool,
especially in the northern section.
The temperature was not sufficiently
low, however, to check the growth of
corn.
storms occurred throughout the state.
In some sections the rains were very
heavy and being accompanied by high
winds did considerable damage to
grain in shock. A very damaging hall
storm occurred in the central portion
of st. Croix county the evening Of
the 22nd. Crops were almost totally
destroyed in the section near New
Richmond
The weather during the week was
favorable for corn. The frequent
showers and the high temperatures
furnished almost ideal conditions for
rapid growth. The improvement in
the crop during the past two weeks
has been very marked and the outlook
is promising. There has been some
damage in few localities by hail but
generally the stand is good and the
plants vigorous and strong.
Oats is an exceptionally heavy
crop, well headed, and ripening
rapidly. Owing to the rank growth
it has already become badly lodged
and tangled by the heavy rains anG
high winds, and there will undoubtedly
be a large loss in harvesting. Barley
harvest is generally completed, having
been somewhat retarded in the south
ern and middle sections by the fire.
quent rains. Winter wheat and we
are all in shock and few farmers
have thTeshed. There is considerable
complaint of sprouting in the shock.
Spring wheat is generally very good
crop and about ready for harvesting.
The weather has. been rather unfavor-
able for haying, the frequent showers
rendering IL difficult to- cure, especially
where there is much clover. The nay
crop is probably the heaviest in many
years. Second growth clover is max
ing rapid progress.
OF potatoes the yield will be large;
late varieties are improving rapidly.
There is a tendency to rot in some
sections on account of wet wea'ner.
Bugs are unusually numerous anu
quite destructive. The tobacco crop
is making an exceptionally rapid
growth and the outlook is very promis-
ing.
There is very little improvement IN
the condition of apples and the outlook
is discouraging; the trees are badly
blighted. Blackberries will be a rood
crop. Cranberries are in promising
condition.

Shenandoah, Pa, July 31.-A reign
of terror, compared with which the
riots of 1900 seem insignificant, holds
/ Shenandoah in it's grasp, with Center
street, one of the principal streets, in
the hands of mob. Two policemen
were shot, one perhaps fatally, and
Joseph Beddal, a merchant and brother
of Sheriff Beddall, brutally dubbed to
death. A score of strikers their
names now unknown, were shot by
policemen and it is expected that many
deaths will result Sheriff Beddalls
headquarters at Ferguson hotel are
surrounded by several thousand men.
He has asked Governor Stone for
troops which the governor wired
would be sent if needed.
The trouble started last evening
when Deputy Sheriff Beddall attempt
ed to escort two non-union workers
through the strikers picket lines
One of the men was taken from the
deputy and beaten almost to death
Beddall opened fire on the mob which
had gathered and emptied his reol-
yer, hitting one man in the leg and an
other in the foot. Beddall and the
other strike breaker were compelled
to take refuge in the railroad depot.
The depot was soon surrounded by a
mob of 5000. Joseph Beddal, hard
ware merchant, and brother of the
deputy sheriff, in an effort to reach his
brother to supply ammunition, was
seized by the mob and beaten into in
sensibility. He died on the way to the
hospital.
The entire borough police force ar
rived and escorted the deputy sheriff
and his men to an engine which had
been backed into the depot. The mob
surrounded the engine and the en-
gineer was afraid to move. The
police fired volley, dispensing the
crowd temporarily and the engineer
pulled out of the depot. The mob then
stoned the police and Chief John Fry
ordered them to fire. At the first vol
ley the mob fell back and several fell.
With revolvers, stones and shOtguns
the mob then charged the little band of
policemen and routed them. The
policemen fired as they ran, but the
mob kept up the chase. A freight
train blocked the progress of the
police at the railroad crossing and
two were caught and beaten. One
will die.
1t is estimated that upwards of
1000 shots were fired. More than
! twenty strikers, all foreigners, were
shot. At least two will die. Many
merchants and politicians refuse to
sign the call for troops, fearing that
the miners will boycott them and as
the governor made the sending of
troops contingent on a petition OF citi
zens, there is some doubt whether they
will be sent. At midnight the streets
were still crowded, but everything
was quiet.
Troops Rushed to Scene.
Harrisburg, Pa, July Ex-Governor
