Life-saving Service Exhibit.

Mr.. Milton Brown has returned to Wash
ington from st. Louis where he conferred
with the officers of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition Company relative to the life
savings exhibit the government proposes to
make at the exposition. Mr.. Brown reports
that he found the exposition management
eager to give the facilities necessary. It
had been found impracticable to locate the
exhibit on Arrowhead lake, in the EXPOSE
ton grounds, so the exposition authorities
proposed that the exhibit should be given
at the north end Of the grand lagoon,
around which the various exposition build
ings cluster.
The grand lagoon is in the main picture
of the exposition. 1t Is the desire Of the
exposition management to have 1t present
a symmetrical, artistic and architectural
attractiveness as whole. The fear has
been expressed that the launching facilities
may mar this symmetry. The question was
left with the exposition company. They
will decide upon what they are willing to
do in the matter, as they now have in full
the wants of the government officials.
Upon their decision will depend whether
such an exhibit viii be given.

I'm the districts east of the Rocky noun

very generally retarded by rains in the
lake region, central valleys and Atlantic
coast districts, while complaints of lack of
moistuer are received from portions of the
central and west gulf states. In the CEN
trail and northern Rocky mountain dis
tricts and on the north Pacific coast the

weather. In California the conditions have
been generally favorable, with the excep-
ton of some damage by frost.
Corn planting is in progress as far
north as Kansas, southern Missouri Ten
nessee and North Carolina; farther south
planting is well advanced, and is COM
pleted in some sections.
1.-THE condition of winter wheat is gen.
orally excellent. and it has made splendid
progress since the first of the month; in
the upper Ohio valley, however, the freeze
Of the 4th and 9Th caused some injury. On
the whole the condition of the crop In the
winter wheat belt east of the Rocky noun
tains is more promising than for years. In
California the outlook is also promising
but in Oregon and Washington the condi-
ton of the crop is less favorable, especially
in the last-named state. where about one
third Of the acreage will be resown.
Spring wheat sowing is nearly COM
pleted in Iowa and Nebraska, and is pro-
crossing well in South Dakota none has

freezing, stations in the more northerly
districts reporting temperatures from six
to eighteen degrees below freezing. The

coast the season is SO backward that fruit
has not been exposed to injury.

NEW YORK HARBoR LINES.
Report Received From Dock Commits,
sioner Hawkes.,

report has been received at the War
department from Dock Commissioner
Hawkes. of New York in regard to the pro-
posed extension of the tarbor lines at New
York for the benefit of the big ocean liners.
The tendency Of this report is to remove
the objections offered by the army engi-
neers to the proposed extension, and it is
said that Secretary Root is inclined to favor
the extension.
One complication which has arisen in
connection with granting the extension of
goo feet asked for, is that the state of New
Jersey has asked the War Department to
grant 1t similar extension on the other
side OF the river This however the Secre-
tary or War will probably not accede to,
as an extension of each side in the onin;on
OF the engineer officers, would make the
river too narrow for the demands of navi-
cation.
