COLD RETARDS CROPS,
Damaging Frosts in the Upper Missis-
sippi Valley-Corn Harvesting
General in All Sections.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
While the weather conditions of
the week ending September 10 were
generally favorable for gathering crops
in nearly all districts, low night tenn
peratures in the more northerly por-
lions have delayed the maturity of late
crops, and some suffering from drought
is reported from the Ohio and lower
Missouri valleys and portions Of the
southern states. Frosts occurred as far
south as Oklahoma and Tennessee, but
little or no damage resulted. except to
tender vegetation in the central valleys
and to unmatured crops in Wisconsin.
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana.
An unusually severe rain and wind
storm caused considerable damage on
the 14th and 18th in portions of New
England and the middle Atlantic
states.
Late corn is maturing rapidly in the
western portion OF the belt, but the crop
is ripening slowly in the eastern and
central sections and needs ten to twenty
days OF favorable conditions to be safe
from frost While damaging frosts &C.
Cured in portions of the upper Missis-
sippi valley, and considerable portion
Of the crop was damaged in Wisconsin
and some on lowlands in parts of Min
nesota and Iowa, the aggregate frost
damage in the last named state was not
serious. Cutting is now general in all
sections.

Bucyrus, o., Sept. 21.-Locled in each
others arms Mary and Lizzie kehrer lay
down in front OF the midnight express on
the Ohio Central Monday night and were
killed. A pititul story accounts for the
motive of the double suicide. The wom-
Ell lived in a little home, alone. Some
time ago the elder sister was stricken
Hith an incurabe disease. Humiliation
and the knowledge that she could not be
cured preyed upon her mind until she
became unbalanced. The sisters had
been inseparable for half century, and
The younger woman grieved for her sis
ter until her mind became affected.
Their lives had been happy and useful
up to few months ago. The question
of committing suicide was often dis
cusscd with neishbors, who discouraged
them. The elder sister, however, re-
manned steadfast in her determination
to kill herself, and it is believed that
Lizzie soon began to agree with her that
such proceeding was justifiable. 1t
was the custom of the women to retire as
early as seven o'clock, and the neigh
boris watched for the daily extinguishing
of the candle which lighted the little
farm house. No one suspected that

ORDERED TO DIsMANTLE.
Russian Cruiser Which Entered Port
of San Francisco Can't Leave
Till War Ends.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Acting Secrc-
tary of State Adee on Thursday gave
out the following statement regarding
the Russian ship Lena, now at San
Francisco:
1.-THE president has issued an Or
der, through the acting secretary Of
state, directing that the Russian armed
transport Lena, now at San Francisco,
be taken in custody by the naval au-
thorities of the Unified States and dis
armed. The main features of the con-
ditions prescribed are that the Lena be
taken to the Mare island navy yard and
there disarmed by removal of small
guns breech blocks of large guns, small
arms, ammunition and ordnance stores
and such other dismantlement as may
be prescribed by the commandment of
the navy yard; that the captain give a
written guarantee that the Lena shall
not leave San Francisco until peace
shall have been concluded"
This action has been taken upon the
written request of the commander of
the Lena, addressed to Rear Admiral
Goodrich, setting forth that as the YES
sci is incapable of putting to sea with
out needful repairs, she must disarm,
and asking that needful repairs be per-
mitted after disarmament.
Washington, Sept. 20.-Admiral
Goodrich, commanding the Pacific sta
ton, has telegraphed the navy depart
ment that he has forwarded by mail
full report of the agreement he en-
tered into with Capt Berinsky, of the
Russian vessel Lena, for the parole of
the officers and crew of that ship. This
provides for their freedom of the city
OF San Francisco, but they may not go
beyond the bounds of the city during the
continuance of the present war and I'M
der no conditions can they be permitted
to return to Russia except upon the
conclusion Of an agreement on that
point between the governments of Rus
sia and Japan, which would relieve the
United States of any responsibility.
Vallejoi, Ca, Sept 20.-The disarma-
rnent Of the Russian transport Lena was
completed Monday. Her ammunition
will be removed to-day. 1t is probable
that the Lena will go to private ship
yard for repairs to her boilers. A small
number of her crew will remain on board
of her as guard.

Crowds Line Streets.

Crowds Line Streets.
Behind the soldiers were packed
dense crowds who, in spite of the rainy
weather, stood patiently waiting to see
the king. The royal heralds, cavalry
and life guards (the heralds bearing the
royal standards), and carriages with
the Montenegran and Servian prin-
cesses, preceded the monarch. Beside
King Peter rode his two sons, George
reached shortly after eight o'clock.
There the representatives of the for
eign powers. the cabinet ministers and
others had already been waiting for
some time. AS King Peter entered the
metropolitan consecrated him and moro
artillery salutes were fired. The king
then took up his position under can
opy and the metropolitan, assisted by
many bishops and other clergy, COM
menced the solemn service, the choir
singing: "Thank Thee, Our Lord"
After the prayer the premier and other
ministers handed the crown and rega-
liza to King Peter. He kissed the crown,
placed it on his head and robed him
selSin the royal garments. An artillery
salute of 1O1 guns then announced to
the people of Belgrade that King Peter
had been crowned.

service was concluded and the ritual
of the church complied with King

the diplomatic corps and others, ascend
ed the royal throne and once more took
the scepter and orb in his hands. The
ceremony of rendering homage was then
performed.
Return Journey Safely Made.
The return journey from the cathedral
to the palace was marked by frantic
cheering. There had been a general
fear that something might happen to
mar the ceremony. and when the people
saw King Peter crowned and riding
safely back their relief found enthusi-
astic expression.
Though all the early morning was
cloudy, when the king entered the
cathedral the sun came out, but his
standards were accidentally dropped in
the mud.
When the king sat down on the
throne he took off the crown, which
weighs four kilos, but put it on again
as the members Of the skupshtina and
Of various corporations passed the
throne in long procession, though he
was obliged now and again to lift his
heavy crown and rest his head.
A partial amnesty decree has been
promulgated and the general feeling is
