WEArHrR DUREAU,s REPORT.
Conditions Prevailing During November
 .-ExcentionaIIy Dry and MiId.

Conditions Prevailing During November
 Exceptionally Dry and Mild.
 Washington, Dec. 1.-The weather bu- reau's monthly summary of crop condi- tions is as follows:
 As a whole, November was a very mild and exceptionally dry month. Throughout the central valleys and in New England, the Middle Atlantic, Central and West Gulf states the ab- sence of rain was so marked as to prove injurious to fall-sown grain and to hin- der blowing. The drought has been es- pecially severe in the Ohio valley, where there is a great scarcity of water for stock and domestic purposes. Com plaints of drought are also received from southern California and the south ern plateau districts.
 In the principal corn states the weather has been favorable for husking and cribbing corn, the reports indieat- ing that this crop is of Exceptionally fine quality.
 Winter wheat has been unfayorably a1eeted by drought over the greater part of the winter wheat belt, the eon- dition of the crop being less favorable in the Ohio, Central Mississippi and Lower Missouri valleys. Considerable damage tosthe early sown by the He's sian fly is also reported from Nebraska and Missouri. Notwithstanding the drought, the general condition of the crop in Kansas, Iowa and Illinois Is good. Favorable reports are also re- ceiYed from the Atlantic coast states, where. however, lack of moisture has retarded growth.
 In the southern states the weather conditions were favorable for the com pletion of cotton picking

NISSEN FOUND DEAD.
Lifeless Body Discovered on Shore of
 Lake Michigan.


 Lake Michigan.
 stevensville. Mich, Dec. 1.-Peter Nissen, who started across Lake Michi- gan in his boat called the Fool Killer No. B. was found dead on the beach two miles and half west of here to- day. The body is supposed to have been washed ashore during the night. His Fool Killer lay about twenty rods down the beach and was consid- erably damaged. The body was brought to Steyensville. The hands and face are frozen and the features reflect his suffering. Nissen evidently had not been dead long when the body was found, as rigor mortis had not set in. Stevensville, Mich, Dec. 1.--It is all most certain that Nissen practically reached shore alive yesterday about 4 o'clock after he had been out of Chi cago twenty-four hours. The Fool Killer No. was then seen about 200 rods from shore off Livingston, six miles south of here. A heavy gale was blowing and it is presumed he was un- able to land and was probably tossed about up shore all night.
 It is believed that Nissen was either unconscious or 50 thoroughly chilled that he was unable to save himself when the Fool Killer finally collapsed and that he was drowned.

RUN ON BUFFALO BANK.
Caused by an Attempt to Get Con.
 trol.

Buffalo, Dec. LA fight for the con trolling interest in the German-Ameri- can bank to-day resulted in a run on that institution estimated by Vice President schilling at $4OO,OOO. The withdrawals were made by large de- positors, so that the run did not cause any perceptible excitement to-day. A message received from State superin- tendent of Banks Kilburn concludes with the statement:
 The bank. in my opinion, is abso- lutely sound and safe" and this is the general opinion expressed by bankers of this city.
 President Emory, of the German American bank, called a meeting of the directors at the close of to-day's busi- ness. When the meeting was over the following statement was issued:
 Tt has come to the knowledge of the officers of the German American bank of Buffalo that certain persons formerly connected with the management have been disseminating rumors tending to impair it's credit. The same persons have just recently demanded that the controlling interest in the bank be sold to them at their figures. The bank is perfectly solvent, able and willing to meet any demand upon it in full, and ready to submit it's entire affairs to the examination Of the clearing house at any moment
 This statement was accompanied by another. which was as follows:
 Notice is hereby given that Edward A. Weppener is no longer cashier of this bank, his relations having been severed this day"

NOTHING FOR STOCKHOLDERS.
worlds Fair . Failure Tor the Invest
 orz

St Louis, Dec. 1.-While 1t will be inn possible to obtain the actual receipts and expenditures cf the Louisiana Pur- chase Exposition company before the middle of December, Secretary Walter B. Stevens of the worlds fair made the following statement to The Associated Press tonight:
 From reports that have been sub mitted of the admissions to the grounds up to o'clock tonight. we estimate that the. attendance on Francis day will be few thousands in excess of 100000 and that the attendance for the exposition period will be in the neigh bordhood of 1s,SOO,OOO
 Tn round numbers the exposition company has expended s22.OOO.OOO since the inception of the worlds fair project and the expenditures of the several states and territories have reached a total of s9,OOO,OOO. The receipts since the opening day, April 30, have amount ed to about s1O,OOO, GOO, consisting of ad- missions and concession royalties.
 While it Is impossible to state ex- actly the financial condition of the ex- position company on this, the closing ] day, 1t can be authorltatively announc- ed that all debts against the company have been paid, with the exception of l a few current accounts, such as sala- ries, etc, and these will. it is thought, consume nearly all the surplus, so that ] there will only be a very small amount lleft for the stockholders.
 From the amount of royalties col- lected by the exposition company, it is estimated that the concessionaires of The Pike and other parts of the worlds 1 fair grounds have taken in at least $10,- 100000.
 Immediately upon the closing of the gates large force of men began the work of packing and shipping the ex- hibits. There are more than 300 off l lcials of the United States customs ser- vice nthe ground and they will re- main on duty until the last exhibit has been shipped to the home address of { the exhibitor or to such other destina- tion as may be selected.
 Beginning tomorrow the exposition grounds will be open to visitors be- tween g a. m. and p. m, an admission fee of 50 cents being charged. This charge will probably be reduced to 25 cents within a few days. All persons entering the grounds will do so at their own risk, and none of the exhibition places will be open to visitors. It was also announced that all of the Pike at i fractions will be permanently closed to- night.
 Three of the principal state worlds fair pavilions were sold to-day. The New York building, which cost, with it's furnishings, $7S,OOO, was sold to rep resentatiaves of some persons who wished their names withheld, for $7,0OO., The Connecticut state pavilion was purchased by Robert c. Hall of Pitts burg and the Ohio building, which cost $3s,0OO, was sold to a construction com pany for $500.

Mukden. Dec. 1.-There was another small skirmish on General Rennen- kampf' $ front on November 30, but oth- erWfse everything remains quiet here The weather is warmer and more agreeable.
 Chinese report that, in consequence of the inability of the Russian Red Cross society to obtain supplies offered in the United States and China, those supplies will be handed over to the Japanese for the benefit of an international hospital at YinkoW.
 A decidedly hot skirmish took place on November 29 on the Russian right between the villages of Chjantan and Syakochen, the latter place being oecu- pied by Russian troops.
