Portland says that the delegates took
II upon themselves TO severely criti-
else the report of the expert actuar-

FOREIGN CROP REPORTS.
Favorable In Russia and Germany
General Outlook Is Good.

The following crop report Of the
department of agriculture, just out
based on advices received by the for.
eign statistical agent at London as
late at July 1, is in brief as follows:
'In Russia meteorological conditions
have been in the highest degree favor
able for cereal crops in most parts OF
European Russia and harvest pros
poets are considerably improved, even
in regions where conditions at the be-
ginning of spring were unfavorable.
"In Germany, great improvement
in all the winter cereals, particularly
in winter rye, has been shown the past
month. The condition of every crop
in the middle of June is officially re-
ported fair, although winter wheat, po-
tatoes and lucerne were considerably
nearer to good than medium and all
the others are graded about midway
between the two conditions.
Approximately good harvest Of the
spring crops in Australia is to be
counted on at best. Maize promises
well there.
"In Hungary, unless there is more
improvement before harvest, which is
hardly expected, this years outturn
of the cereals will fall somewhat be-
low that of 1902, the deficiency in the
case of wheat being about Is 10 per
cent.
STORMS and floods have caused ex-
tensive damage to crops and vineyards
in Italy.
"In France the estimated area of
winter wheat is 6S1, 724 acres less than
in 1902. A marked improvement in
wheat and other crops occurred there
during June, and the crops now are
doing we'll.
Generally favorable reports come
from Denmark.
'Tn Great Britain the wheat crop is
late and can hardly come up to an
average yield.
"Advices to the department from the
government Of India estimate the to.
tai wheat crop harvested there in the
spring of 1903 at 290,261, 104 bushels,
against a yield of $226,37O,S9O bushels
In the previous year."
The final estimates of the depart
ment on the tobacco crop of 1902 in
the United States are announced as
Acreage. 1,O3O,7S4; production, $751;.
S23,963 pounds; value, $57,563.5 $40.

Russian and Japan to War.

Pekin, July 22.-According to diplo
mats here the greatest factor in the
eastern situation is the increasing
danger of war between Russia and
Japan. They believe it Is becoming
plain that Russia is willing to fight
Japan If convinced that no other pow
ers will assist her. The Russians are
confident of their ability to easily de-
feat Japan, and are said to be anxious
to settle definitely her position to op-
pose Russia's progress In Manchuria.
The belief is attributed to the jap
anese that the Russian policy is to
attempt to placate Great Britain and
America and provoke Japan into be-
ginning hostilities. They regard Rus.
sia's consent to open ports in Man
churia, the cars promised visit to
England and the occupation of the
Korean border as parts Of that policy.
Russia's activity on the Yalu river is
more Irritating to Japan than the re-
tention of Manchuria and all Japanese
officials in China speak Of war as a
probability"

J. J. HILL RETURNS HOME.
Says Northwest Need Not Worry
About Eastern Market.

st. Paul, Minn.-President James ].
Hill has returned to st. Paul after a
five weeks outing in eastern waters.
Mr.. Hill said in reply to question:
"The eastern market, as everybody
knows, is in disturbed state. The
railroads of that section within short
time expended vast sums of money in
improvements. Industrials have been
thrown upon the market in enormous
quantities and the public has stopped
buying. The trouble has been ascribed
to 'undigested securities but perhaps
we would better call them 'indigestible
securities
"These are local features and raise
problems having their own peculiar in
terest and Importance to the people of
the eastern centers. They have not
affected the business of the country as
whole, which is in good condition.
"Out here we are not worried, nor do
we need to worry about these move
ments that are the cause of some
anxiety between eastern people. From
st. Paul clear through to the Pacific
coast the people are engaged in pro-
ducing foodstuffs, in numbering and
mining, in developing the great natu-
raj resources Of the country. There
fore, they are prosperous and I see no
reason to believe that this prosperity
will not continue"

LACE $1,000 A YARD.
Was Sent BY Express and Never
Received.


New York.-A package containing
six yards of lace, said to be valued al
$4,000, has been missing since April g.,
when it was shipped by express from
here to Washington. The lace Is a
part Of set valued at 100000 belong
ing to the wife Of General A. e. Bates
of Washington, D. G. Mrs. Bates is
at present in Europe with her daugh-
ter. Mrs. Bates came to New York
early in the spring. She brought the
lace to have it cleaned and repaired.
AS the cleaner completed the work
on the separate pieces she sent them
to Mrs. Bates by express, there being
three separate bundles. The second
contained the lace that is missing. The
last package contained the piece Of
greatest value in the large shawl. 1t
reached Washington safely. No trace
of the second package has been found,
however. The cleaners say that al
though the lace was commercially
worth $4,000, it was really of greater
value, because it made up a part of a
set and also because it was an heir
loom. 1t was worn by Mrs. Bates
mother at the time King Edward, as
prince of Wales, was entertained at the
White House. She says there is no
other piece like it in the world.

THUGS STOLE OVER $4,000.
Hold Up Captain Myrick OF Conner
Creek (ore.) Mine.

Baker City, Ore, July 22.-Three
masked men held up Captain Myrick
of the Conner Creek mine on Snake
river, IS miles from Huntington, and
at the point Of pistol compelled him
to open the office safe. The cleanup in
gold bullion, said to be valued at ap-
proximately $4,000, and a number Of
valuable ore specimens, as well as a
considerable sum in cash, were taken.
A posse is in pursuit of the robbers,
but so far no trace of them has been
found.
The owners of the mine decline to
say how much the robbers secured,
but it is said that the mine produces
from $4,000 to $4,000 per annum. A
rumor is in circulation that the amount
taken will reach $4,000, but one Of
the owners of the mine disputes this
statement. Those best informed say
the loss will not be in excess Of $10,-
900 and is probably less.

William G. Patterson of Kalamazoo,
Mich, is dead, in his seth year, as
the result of the excessive use Of to-
bacco His tobacconist from whom
he bought exclusively, gave out the
statement after his death had been
made public that in IL years Mr.. Pat
terson smoked more than $4,000 CT
gars, which cost him $4,000. In his
early life he was even more a constant
smoker than in his declining years, and
local tobacco men estimate that in the
last 20 years of his life he had smoked
100000 of his favorite brand, which
would cost him 100000. Mr.. Patter-
son was a pioneer stage coachman
of the middle west, having established
the first stage line between st. Paul
and st. Anthony, Mimi, along the bank
Of the Mississippi river. He also es'
