WINTER WHEAT PROMISING.
Little Seeding of Spring Wheat.-Early
Planted Corn Hurt by Frost.

Washington, May 10-The weekly crop
bulletin issued by the Weather Bureau
gives the following general summary OF
The week ending May was unseasona-
bly, cool over much the greater part of the
country, the minimum temperature ON
April 80 and May l and being the lowest
recorded in the last decade of April and
the first decade of May for the past thir-
ty years at nearly all Weather Bureau
stations from the central and west Gulf
coasts to the upper Missouri Valley, and
also at a number of stations in the cen
trail Mississippi and Ohio valleys, the
Lake region and New England
Generally light rainfall, or absence of
rain, has been favorable for farming oper
atoms, but the unseasonably low tempera-
lures have checked the growth of all
vegetation and heavy frosts have caused
much damage. Drought has been re-
ieved over southeastern Texas and over
limited areas in the central Gulf States.
but continues over the greater part of
these districts and in northern Texas, and
rain is needed in Florida Notwthstand
ing the decidedly cool weather during the
latter part of the week the average Of the
temperature in New England and por-
tons of the Middle Atlantic States and
the Lake region was above the normal.
Rain is generally needed on the Pacific
Coast
The early planted corn was extensively
killed by the frost during the latter part
of the week in Missouri, Kansas, Okla
homa and Texas, and the crop has suffered
from cold weather throughout the South
efn states. Preparations Tor planting
have progressed favorably in the ohio
Valley and Middle Atlantic States, but lit
tie progress has been made in the States
of the upper Missouri Valley and Lake re-
gions. The present season up TO this time
has been very unfavorab BILE for corn, plant
ing being greatly delayed.
Winter wheat appears to have escaped
material injury during the recent freeze
over the western portion of the winter
wheat belt, and the general outlook for
this crop continues very promising, al
though a slight deterioration is indica ted
in portions of the central Mississippi and
Ohio Valleys. On the Pacific Coast the
outlook is less favorable, especially i'll
California.
Very little seeding of spring wheat could
be done over the northern portion of the
spring wheat region during the past week.
The reports Indicate that no serious dam
age has been done to early wheat sown
over the southern portion. On the north
Pacific Coast the crops now in need of
rain.

The SPEEDY SHAMROCK
Has No Difficulty in Showing Heels to
the Old Boat.

Gourock, Scot, May 10.-The two
3hamrocks were sent off, Saturday
morning, over a racing course of Al
miles, starting from Gourock, around
marks at Powder buoy, Hunters quay
and Skelmorle. The wind blew about
eight knots and was strengthening.
During a series of informal spins, the
Shamrock III, was apparently able to
take the lead whenever capt. Wringc
desired. The latter, however, was foil
ed in one mancuVre. Fetching up from
Rothesay close hauled, the challenger
closed rapidly on the Shamrock ], and
headed her, with the object of passing
to Windward. but Capt Bevis suddenly
luffed the Shamrock L., forcing Capt.
Wringe inshore, where the wind was
lighter. For three miles the challenger
sailed close by the weather quarter of
her opponent, but was unable to get
past.
Subsequently, the yachts started on
another spinnakcr run. off Greenock
Espanade the Shamrock |. had half a
minutes lead, but the challenger pass
ed her in Il little over q mile. The chal-
lenCer's gearing stretched during the
trials.
The yachts We're ultimately sent off
on a real racing trial and the challeng-
err outpointed, outran and outreached
the older boat. They ran first with
spinnakers TO Clouch, five miles, and
the Shamrock III, caught and passed
her opponent, and led her by a quarter
of Il mile at that point The boats
We're then broad reached to Skelmorlie
buoy, the challenger opening away fast
and constantly. The wind was a trifle
unsteady and the challenger was rather
better served. She beat the Shamrock
/, badly, turning the SkelmOrle end Of
her emile sail nearly II minutes ahead. |
Reaching back up channel to Cloch, |
the challenger further improved her
lead, until she was two miles ahead.
The finishing stretch was by the |
wind, and the challenger came home IA
and 16 seconds ahead of the
older boat
Throughout the trials the Shamrock |
III. showed such in and out form as
to suggest that either the boat has eX-
IRENE moods or Capt. Wringe is pur-
pOsely holding much up his sleeve.

GRANT is LEGAL.
Columbian Conservative Leader
Talks on Panama Canal.
Concession Renewal Is All Right, but
He Wants More Money.
Proposes Plan Which VIII Undoubted-
ly Be Turned Down.

Panama May 10.-Gerardo Pulccio,
an important member of the Conserva-
tive party, discusses the canal question
in recent issue of the Corpero Ma
cional, published at Bogota. He says
granted by President San Clemcnte is
legal, the government having consti-
tutionaI faculties to take this step. No
company or European government is
willing to risk any money in the canal
venture after the De Lesseps failure,
says Senior Pulecio; therefore the
United States only can undertake the
construction of the canal with chances
Of success.
Colombia never enjoyed effective SOW
ereignty on the isthmus, because the
United States landed troops there
whenever it wanted to, and even denied
Colombians "the innocent right to kill
each other" Still in the canal treaty,
Colombian sovereignty of the isthmus
should be distinctly recognized, argues
Senior Pulecio, not only to calm the
nerves of apprehensive patriots, but be-
cause Colombia may within 100 or 200
years develop into a strong nation, and
be able to recover the sovereignty on
the isthmus, which it now lacks.
Senior Pulecio proposes the following
plan: The United States to pay Colom-
bia for the canal concession the sum
of $25,0O0,0O0 without discount, conces-
sion or reduction, and $1,000,000 yearly
rental for the canal zone; Colombia to
be free of any claims which may rise
against the canal company. The United
States is to recognize the sovereignty
of Colombia on the isthmus.
The other conditions laid down by
Senior Pulecio are the same as have
been specified in the treaty.

Berlin, May 10-The coal mining indus
try in Westphalia is being seriously Nam
pcred by sickness among the miners. arts

ness has become almost universal. Twen-
ty thousand men are affected. From some
of the pits 90 per cent. of the workers are
absent because of the disease, which has

Temporary barracks and isolation hospi-
