Washington, May so.--The weekly
crop bulletin of the weather bureau
is as follows: All northern and CEN
trail districts east OF the Rocky Moun-
tains experienced highly favorable
temperatures during he week ending
May is, the central valleys, lake re-
gion and New England receiving
ample and much-neeoed warmth,
while in the southern states it was
too cool for favorable growth. The
very general absence of rain in
New England and the middle Atlantic
states. and over large part Of the
lake region and Ohio valley. has in
tensitied drought in these districts.
in consequence of which crops have
made slow progress. and planting and
termination have been greatly him
dered. The east gulf states and pcr-
lions of the lower Missouri and low
er Mississippi valleys have suffered
from excessive rains.
Corn planting has been further de-
layed by rains in The states of the
lower Missouri valley and by drought
in the Ohio valley Middle Atlantic
states and portions of the lake
region. Planting is we'll advanced
in the Dakotas. and notwith-
standing The wet soil in Iowa
and Missouri, has been vigorously
pushed in these states. where ii is
terminating satisfactorily. In Ne
braslla. he Ohio valley and middle
Atlantic states Il large part of the
crop is yet to be planted, not more
than half the area having been seed
ed in Ohio and Nebraska.
Winter wheat has made favorable
progress in Nebraska and Kansas.
md has been improved by rains in p"r-
tonS of Missouri. Oklahoma. Texas,
Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky,
but in southern Missouri and in the
states northwnrd of the Ohio river,
and in the Middle Atlantic states the
crop has suffered further dctcriora
ton. 1t is headin" as far north as
central Kansas and the southern por-
lions of Indiana and Ohio.
In the spring wheat region the
weather conditions have been highly
favorable for termination and
growth of spring wheat, which is
coming up to good stands with Wig
orous plants.
In the Missouri valley. Oklahoma
and Texas Il general Improvement in
the condition of oats is indicated, but
in the Ohio valley. middle Atlantic
states. and the greater part of the
lake region. The condition of the crop
is less favorable, owing to the Of
fectS of drought.
Further improvement in the outlook
for apples is Indicated, but the pros

are verN poor.

Observation-Disclosures
Dispatches from Kishin eff and Vicinity Tell
of Horrible Observation-Disclosures
Massacres Feared.

London, May lS.-- Dispatches from
Odessa. kshinetl, and St. Peters burg
say that another massacre of The Jews
is expected beiM en- May is and "a,
old style. which would be ubou, June !,
OF the English calendar. There has
begun an almost general exodus of the
Jews. Wealthy Hebrews are uisposing
of their property for whatever they
can get. Many have abandoned homes
and business rather Than remain and
lace the terrible slaughter which is
anticipated. Siany have already taken
their departures. There is Il Jewish
population uf $1,000 in kieir, ana ali
are affected. The agitation in kiriI is
so great that the Jews are in dread
OF an immediate massacre.
Another dispatch which has been re-
ceired here says: "rhc position Of The
Jews in Russia is very critical. The
terror Was al first confined to the
south. but NOW ii has spread like u
lame over the entire empire. In War
saw. LODI, HIalystocll and other big
cities the Jews expect Il repetition of
the Kishinrtf massacre.
Fear for Cars safety.
ST. Petersburg, May Is. Since the
awful disclosures of the kishineiI
massacre ihe ear is moro closely
guarded by the police and the Russian
oii1r'a's 1"an Al amy time since he as
ce'ii.ed the throne. The authorities
are fearful for the ears safety. He
is practicaliN in hiding. He is said TO
be greatly shocked by the awful news
Al! the reports of the massacre have
been sent TO him and he knows the
full horror OF the atrocity.
Adds to the Horrors.
London, May lS.--All the news that
comes from ki:schinctl adds TO the
horrors that have already been told
of the staying and torturing of the
Jews. The blacklist deeds of Nrro's
reign. the horrible infections of the
dark ages. are rot so friyhtful as the
atrocities visited upon the Jews of
kischinctf during the three days of
terror.
The best advices show that is per-
sons were killed outright and that
upNiIu w on uitNc since ultu Ol lnClI'
injuries. There are at least % more
who are likely to die. The injured
numbered about 1000, of whom many
are crippled for life. The property
loss is about $4,000
Money IL Pouring In.
The dratituiion following the out
break WAS frightfuI, although money
is pouring in from all over the world.
Even Russia shows signs of remorsc.
and is sending money to- relieve the
Immediate suffering. Also has The
government awakened to the ncccs-
sity for showing its disapprovnl of
the massacre, and il is reported that
500 arrests have been made.
That the government officials if
not the government, connivrd at this
slaughter and persecution seems
plain. Furthermore, there is internal
evidence that an organization had
been effected to take the utmost adj
vantage of the outbreak when it
should occur.
