 Intentions.
 New York, Oct 6.-~Gustave Bchwab. az sJ1t of the N0rtE German Lloyd ne e today said that his company had eiven notice that 1t would withdraw from the North Atlantic conference regulating first and second class passenger rates. MT. Schwab does not think the withdrawal will affect passenger rates or mean any material cut in hose now rIev .iling.
 Eugene Bocande, New York agent of the French line, sadd he had received no notice from his company of the propo- sition to withdraw from the agreement
 "Of course it Is in the air that trouble is brewing because of the Cunard line announcement that it is going into the Mediterranean service. but have noth- ing definite of any contemplated changes so far as our line is concerned" he said.
 We received a letter from the home ofice, however. stating positively that the Italion Government has not granted the Cunard line the privilege of doing business at Italian ports, and that looks as though 1t was still doubtful whether the company will be able to come into the continental field. The Italian gov- ernnent takes the stand that it already has enough ships coming to its ports to accommodate the business between that country and thds.''
 Officials of the Hamburg-American say they had received no advices from their home office regarding a withdrawal from the North Atlantic agreement

CONDITION OF CROPS.
Weekly Summary Issued by Weather
 Bureau,


 Washington. Oct. 6.-The Weather Bu- reau's weekly summary of crop coDdi- tions Is as follows:
 In all district east of the Rocky Noun tains the temperature conditions during the week ending October were highly favorable So~ unmatured crops. Part of Texas and Oklahoma have suffered from excessive rains. while severe dcouth con- tinucs in the South Atlantic, Central and East Gulf States and in portions oI Tcn- nessee.
 The corn crop has experienced another favorable week. although the more north eriy portions in which rains have retard- ed maturing and cutting would have done better with less moisture.
 In the central and eastern districts of the cotton belt there was little or no rain during the week. and cotton picking pro- gressed rapidly under very favorable con- ditions. In Texas. Oklahoma and Arkan- sas. however, picking was retarded by heavy rains, which caused considerable damage in Texas, where the opening of the young bolls has been checked by the renewed growth of the plant.
 Reports indicate that about one-half of the prospective yield has been gathered in the central and eastern portions of the belt. the proportion gathered being con- siderably greater in Texas where prob ably 60 to 70 per cent. of the crop has been secured. while not more than 10 per cent. has been picked in Oklahoma. Indian Territory and Arkansas. On the whole. 1t appears that slightly more than one-half of the crop is now gathered.
 The principal tobacco States have had very favorable curing weather and the portion of the crop remaining unharvested in Kentucky at the close of the previous week has been housed.
 Except in the Middle and South Atlantic States and the portions of the Ohio and Central Mississippi Valleys where plow- ing and fall seeding have been retarded, this work has made satisfactory progress and early sown wheat has germinated and Is coming up well. fine stands being re- ported from Nebraska and Kansas Re- cent rains in Texas has put the soil in excellent condition and seeding is now active in that State

PEACE WILL BE PREFERRED Japan Ready to Fight,
 However. THE CABINET KEEPS COOL Among the Populace are Signs

 and Army are Ready for Evsnt1slities
THE CABINET KEEPS COOL

Yokohama, Oct. 6--with the approach of October 5. the nominal dato Tor kus- sta's evacuation of ManchurIa, great tci,- sion Is observable among tfe Japan ESQ populace. but in diplomatic circles it is reaffirmed that hopefuiness prevails of an amicable settlement of the improglio 0c- tween Russia and Japan on the basis if minor concessions by Russia m Ceres. though officials do not profess to expect that the evacuation of Manchuria viii be efected on the exact date named
 Baron Komura has given out Q hopeful interview. but the Japanese Ministers for War and Navy thereafter had long con ferences with the Emperor. Marquls Ito, President of the Privy Council, and vIs-, count Katsu, the Premier, indicating that preparations are going on to meet any eventuality.
 Fleet and Army Ready.
 The fleet and the army are both wltn- out question in readiness. and large sup plies for both army and navy have been accumulated. The srsenals have been quietly at work for long time past and the defences have been minutely fhspect- ed.
 Popular feeling in Japan is exasperated at Russias dilatory tactics, and the ex- citement has been aggravated by the sem sational press. which is constantly clr- culating rumors of fresh Russian agxres- sions Many of these are of the most cir cumstantial character and calculated to infiame public opinion. The, officials dep- recate these reports. which. 1t Is believed in some quarters. emanate from Russian sources,
 The Japanese statesmen remain calm. Japan apparently considers herself capa- ble of dealing with Russia single-handed.
 England Supporting Japan.
 It Is true that England is supporting Japan strongly at Pekin and Seoul, Ko- req. but it is thought here that England and France desire peace at any price. Germany Is ostensihly neutral Tho United States is chiefly concerned in her commercial treaty with China to ba signed October s. but the Japanese press claims that America is ready to yield Ja- pan her strong moral support against any unfair encroachments.
 In spite of popular irritation it is be- lieved that the Japanese officials will be able to control the jingo element and maintain the present peaceful defensive attitude unless some new and unforeseen event precipitates fresh issues.
