WEEkAY CROP REPORT.

Washington, June 16.-The weather

as follows:
For the week ending June 18th, was
a~bnOrmalIy cool in nearly all the dis
trictS east of the Rocky mountains, the
minimum temperature from the 10th to
18th throughout the central valleys and
southern states being the lowest of

and heavy frOsts were of general occur

with light frOStS as far south as Ten

growth of vegetation has been slow.
Corn is unusually late and has made
very slow growth under the low tenn
peratures of the past week. In the
middle and south Atlantic states the
crop is much in need of cultivation and
in the southern states is largely laid
by.

maIIy lOw temperatures. Chopping has

The Government Puzzled.

Washington. June 16.-Litigation fol-
lowing the failure of the Trigg Ship
building Company OF Richmond, Va,
has delayed the execution of the plans
of the navy department for the transfer
of the cruiser Galveston from that
yard TO the navy yard at Norfolk. where
she IS 10 be completed at the expense
OF the sureties of the ~defaulting con-
tractors. The remOVal OF the vessel
i opposed by some of thee sub-con-
tractors. for work on the vessel, unless
their claims against the Triggs are set
tied. They evidently believe that their
chances Of satisfaction are better while
the vessel is in the hands Of the Triggs,
especially as the vessel will not actually
belong TO the government until after her
completion and final acceptance.
The navy department is at a loss how
TO proceed III the premises, and the at
torney general has been asked for an
opinion in the matter. Meanwhile al
proceedings are in allegiance.
The war department is similarly en-
~barrassed by the Trigg failure. That
company was building a hydraulic
dredge for the engineer department and
it also was left unfinished when the
company failed. Action with respect
to that vessel will be governed by the
advice of the attorney general in the
matter of the Galveston.
