CROP CONDITION NOT GOOD.
Much Corn to Be Planted and Re-
duced ACREAGE Certain.


Washington, June 1O.-The weather
bureaus weekly crop bulletin says:
Excessive rains in the lower Missouri,
central Mississippi and Ohio valleys,
Tennessee, the Carolinas and Georgia
have interrupted farm work and
caused great damage to crops, espe-
cially in the central Mississippi and
lower Missouri valleys, the flood stage
in the Mississippi river at St. Louis be-
ing the highest since 1853 and that in
the Missouri river at Kansas City
since 1874.
Much corn remains to be planted in
the Missouri. Mississippi and Ohio
valleys, where the early planted is
greatly in need of cultivation and
much had drowned. Planting was re-
sumed in Nebraska and Iowa during
the latter part of the week, where,
under the most favorable future condi-
tons, the acreage will be reduced.
Rust in winter wheat is very general
ly reported from the Ohio, central
Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys
and in the two last named districts
the crop has sustained much damage
from floods.
Spring wheat continues in very
promising condition in the Dakotas
and generally in Minnesota. In the
upper Mississippi and Missouri val
leys, where not damaged by floods,
the crop is in promising condition.

Government Would Remove Grain
Dutes-lnterest in the Debate Fills
Every Seat in the House-Stand by
Free Trade Policy.
London, June 10-The rumored
resignation of Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain is the most startling de-
velopment of the proposal OF the chan
cellor of the eXchequer MI. Richie,
to abolish the corn tax, the debate
on which kept the house of commons
packed and spellbound until midnight.
Even if Premier Balfour persuades Mr..
Chamberlain to remain in the cabinet,
the colonial secretary's preferential
tariff program is hopelessly showed
under and his influence as political
power in Great Britain at least tenn
porarily eclipsed.
All members of the government who
contributed to the debate vigorously
declared themselves as free traders,
and frankly opposed Mr.. Chamber
lain's proposals. Except for Mr.. Chap
lin, not voice on either side of the
OF Mr.. Chamberlain's campaign. All
protested against any dickering with
Great Britain's fiscal policy. The
unionists wed with the liberals in de-
claring themselves out and out free
traders. All that was lacking in the
complete rout OF the protectionist cab
met minister was Mr.. Balfour's Of
on behalf of the government that the
cabinet as whole refused to adopt
Mr.. Chamberlain's views. Both the
colonial minister and the premier
were absent from the debate, because,
according to report, Mr.. Balfour was
spending the evening endeavoring to
persuade the colonial secretary to re-
main in the cabinet Notwithstanding
his differences with his colleagues.
The debate was adjourned at mid
night, when, midst sensation, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer Richie said
he hoped Mr. Balfour would be able to
give the house on Wednesday a def1-
mite statement on behalf of the entire
cabinet though he could not promise it.
" DOh LILO lOSuLAp tlOu VI Inc QGDdLe,
Mr.. Chaplins amendment to the bud
get bill, which is the cause of this SEN
sational political crisis, will be taken
up. Sir Henry ampbell-Bannerman
Will demand the right of the liberals
to know the premiers attitude towards
free trade before they support him IN
the repeal C.. the corn tax. Mr.. Bal
four will reply and Mr.. Chamberlain
Is also expected to speak. There are
many members who believe that the
premier will also resign and that a
dissolution of the house is involved,
but these rumors lack confirmation
the best opinion being that solution
of the crisis will be avoided by MI
Chamberlain's resignation or by an
open declaration that he is willing to
drop for the present his preferential
tariff proposals.

The usual-and the wrong way-ot
treating wet boots is to take them off
and put them on the fender or the radi-
ator to dry. This method spoils the
boots. Too much heat cracks and hard
ems leather.
Another wrong way is to stand them
on their soles anywhere to dry.
The proper way is to place the boots,
soles upward, near enough to the fire
to dry slowly and properly, but not to
steam during the drying.
The soIes should always be turned
upward, even when the boots are only
little wet, for this way enables the
air to reach the wettest part of the

Iowa Crops.

DeS MoineS, June 10.-The first
week in June brought marked i'm
provement, and the weather conditions
Of the last three days caused a re-
sumption of field work in the greater
portion of the state, and seems to give
promise Of the early restoration of
seasonable temperature, sunshine and
rainfall. This is imperatively needed
to prevent well nigh total loss of corn
and some other important crops. Re-
ports are much more encouraging in
tone from the larger number of coun-
ties. The greater amount of damage
by excessive rains and floods has been
suffered in the drainage basins of the
Des Moines, Iowa and Cedar rivers
The rainfall for the week ending the
Sth was generally light, and the work
Of blowing. planting and replanting
corn has been resumed in upland
fields in four-flfths of the counties Of
the state. The present conditions just
lily the belief that the amount of ire
parable damage to crops, though quite
heavy in many localities, will not be
as heavy as appeared to be imminent
during the height Of the floods. The
acreage OF corn will, of course, be
very considerably short of the large
area planted in recent years. The
oats crop is becoming rank and the
same is measurably true of wheat,
barley and clover. Apples ard berries
are quite promising.

bic purchasers Of the colt.
When John E Madden bought the half
interest in the Great Trial winner from

caused no end OF comment. The price
that Madden is reported to have paid
for Pulsus. SIS. 900. was considered the
proper valuation OF the youngster, mas
much as his form both in private and
public has been distinctly high-class.
Pulsus at present is not eligible for
many Of the rich events. His principal
engagement for the season is the last
part of the Double Event. which will be
decided at Sheephead Bay tomorrow.
The man who purchases him Will have to
enter him in races that close later In
