Made Of Recent Attack
on Minister At Aayti.

Washington, July S.-Mr. Leger
the Haytian minister, made an expla-
nation of the recent episode at Port Au
Prince, involving an attack on the
French and German ministries and the
presence of warships in consequence to
procure reparation which has thrown a
different light on the affair. depriy;n3
it OF any such anti-foreign animus
which was at first attributed to it. The
minister's ;advices. just received from
Hayti show that the incident occurred
as follows:
Before the executive mansion at Port
au Prince there is road which is
closed after dark to all pedestrians and
carriages On the morning of the 21st
of June two carriages We're seen on
that road. 1t was dark, the sentry

carriages When, the next morning
the report was made that the occupants
OF the carriages were French and Ger
man ministers, the officer of tn eguard
and the sentry were punished, and the
secretary for exterior relations called
at both legations to explain and apol-
ogize in the name of the government
Minister Powell has since reported to
the state department that the incident

A Roosevelt Story.

Once In a while ney story crops out
kabout President Roosevelts experience
while he was a member OF the New
York legislature, says the New York
Globe. He was a member Of the COM
mittee on rules and he had a good
many lively rounds with some OF his
associates on the committee. Finally
one OF them grew so abusive that the
young man saw he would be forced to
radical measures. After an especially
abusive remark by the heller, one day,
Roosevelt walked up to him and ex-
| claimed:
Il want you to understand, sir, that
your conduct is offensive. and shall
hold you responsible for what you
| say unless you apologize to me at
once"
| The heller weakened and for few
days Roosevelt noticed that his tough
colleagues treated him with extraordi-
nary Difference and respect. At the
end of a week one of them came to
him and said:
II want to tell you. sir, that we all
like you. You amt the same sort of
a chap as those cfumps is. The fact
/ is you amt so much of q gentleman"
What the heller meant probably was
that the young man was not so lady
like.

There is considerable speculation as

already advices are being sent out TO

1t is possible. From the behavior of
buyers this week signs do not look
favorable for early next week and IT
hardly pays to take chances with such
uncertainties. The opinion is that
many cattle have been held back wait

holders will let them come next week.

1t is suggested that this market IS

There was littlemore live and ac-

buyers have been careful not to accu-
mulate too many cattle until they could
see what the outlet would be. Business
all this week has been on very con-
sentative basis and consequently was
small in volume. The inquiry was
stronger yesterday than 1t has been any
previous day this week, but is still
rather tame. Good steers were scarce
and traders said that they could have
sold quite number II they had been
here. Most OF the supply consisted OF
common to medium light stockers,
which did not meet with much favor.
The market was stonger for all the
desirable steers, and some We're quot
ed 10 cents higher, but the bulk went
at no quotable advance as compared
with the previous day. Conditions are
not favorable for a big supply and of :
ferings should be held down to small
for awhile. Most Of the
selling is at s3.Oo@3.so, with the best
feeders around $4.25. and the thin.
light stockers down to S2.25.

Outlook Now Is Much Better
Than at Same Period In
the Year 1908
BUMPER CROP IS EXPECTED
Weather Has Been Almost Ideal For
the Corn in Most Sections of the
state-conditon of Corn July Was
so Per Cent For the state-other
Crops Good.

Des Moines, July S.-According to
the figures and estimates of Director
j. r. Sage. of the Iowa crop and wealth
er service, the month of July has bet
ter prospect of crop than the same
month in last year. Almost every
form of plant life has prospered ex-
ceedingly well and gives evidence of
the bumper crop so much desired by
the Iowa farmer and consumers of the
world.
Heavy rains of last year were of
course responsible for the poor con-
dition of the crops as compared with
the outlook this year, while the average
quantity of rain and the general good
conditions for crop have thus far
aided in giving the farmers the ideal
year for corn and all manner of garden
products.
The condition Of corn is represented
to be at least 13 per cent better than
it was last year. This of course is due
altogether to the climatic conditions
regarding moisture. The moisture Of
last year was heavy, with the result
that a great part Of the corn crop nee
essitated replanting again, resulting in
loss of part of it. This year there has
been an average good weather condi-
ton with the result that there is now
every prospect of a heavy yield not
withstanding the fact that the stand
is below what 1t should be.

Last year In July the wheat condition
was computed at So per cent, while the
condition at the present time gives as
surance Of at least a 81 per cent crop.
Barley has exceeded the mark set by
last year about 8 per cent.
Potatoes have gained on the crop OF
last year by promising advance of
about per cent. One hundred and one
per cent is credited to the condition
of the potato crop, which promises that
the price Of this product will neces-
sarily fall within the next month or

also advanced considerably as the re-
port will show.
Comparison Of Conditions.

shows the figures and conditions to be
as follows:
Following Is summary of reports
received from correspondents of the
state weather and crop service, esti-
mating the condition of the staple farm
crops July I, 1904. The reports gener-
ally show that the stand of corn and
oats is materially lighter than the av
erage /, owing to defective seed. and all
crops are several days later than usual
as the result OF the late advent Of
spring. The general condition. how
ever, Is several points better that at the
