state the deposits are about $1,000, 900
at present.
An agreement was practically
reached between the directors of the
Federal Trust company and the
Guardian Trust company several days
ago providing for the merging of the
two concerns. The disappearance OF
the official of the Federal company
however, precipitated matters and the
directors decided that an assignment
would probably avoid run on the
bark and protect all interests.
Officials of both of the trust com
panies declare positively that no de-
positor will lose a penny as result
of the assignment. It is also stated
that the shortage in the, accounts OF
the Federal Trust company, will sub
sequently not exceed 100000.

supplying the Port Arthur garrison
literally with food.
At least twenty Chinese junks laden
with provisions have, during the past
fortnight, run the blockade of the

Arthur has improved wonderfully
since Admiral Makaroff assumed COM
mand. The Russians are confident
that Port Arthur will not be taken.
The Grand Duke Cyril, the cars

Of torpedo destroyer. In one of the
sallies against the Japanese feet
Makaroff relieved him Of the danger

Sinking Of Merchant Steamer by Rus.

Toxic, April 1.-The action of
Russian warships in sinking the JAP
anese coasting steamer Hanyei Maru
last Saturday is deeply resented by
the japanese.
In official circles the attack upon
and the sinking of this vessel near
Taichin island is pronounced to be a
clear violation of the neutrality OF
China, besides being an act of wanton-
ness against defenseless craft.
The Hanyei Maru was an old steam.
pr of sixty-four tons and had been
chartered by some correspondents OF
a Japanese newspaper. After trans.
ferring ten Japanese and seven Chi
nese from the Hanyei Maru the fire
of two vessels was directed upon the
steamer and one of the Russian tor
pedo boat destroyers sent several
shells through her hull.

RESULT OF EARTHQUAkE.
Small Mountain in Northern Maine
Disappears.

SWdN MOUNTAIN III NoFtnern Maine
Disappears.
Caribou, Me-, April 1.-Wocdsmen
who have just returned here bring
news that Bald mountain, a small.
steep hill in the Tiboque valley, only
few miles from the New Brunswick
line, has disappeared. In its place a
small lake now exists.
It is believed the mountain dropped
out Of sight during the earthquake of
March 81 and that the tremor which
then shook New England really had
It's birth in the Maine woods. Bald
mountain was an odd shaped cone,
with extremely steep sides, and was
seldom explored. The general belief
is that it was the crater of an extinct
volcano. Around the base of the noun
tain small hot springs once existed
and the rock formation in the neica-
borhood bears evidence Of volcanic
origin.

Summary Of Conditions in the Various

Washington. July 12.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions. issued today, follows:
Unseasonably cool weather continued
in the states of the Missouri valley and
over the western part of the upper lake
region. but elsewhere the temperature
was very favorable. Heavy rains pre-
vented cultivation of crops and greatly
interfered with harvesting In the lower
Missouri, central Mississippi and Ohio
valleys and portions of the middle AT
lantic states and lake region, and much
grain in shock damaged in Oklahoma,
Kansas, Missouri pc 3ns of south
Atlantic states and north central states
need rain, and in the southern plateau
districts severe drouth continues
Drouth also prevails in the coast dis
tricts of Washington and Oregon,
where crop prospects are materially
lessened
over the greater part of the corn belt
corn made vigorous growth. but con-
tinuous rains prevented cultivation and
much of the crop is weedy. In the
more northerly districts corn is gener-
ally backward but advanced decidedly,
during the past week. In the middle
Atlantic states the crop made excellent
progress and is in a very promising
condition.
Winter wheat has sustained great
damage from continuous heavy rains
In Nebraska, Kansas. Oklahoma and
Missouri. where the unharvested grain
was seriously damaged by rust and
lodging and that in shock by moldins
and sprouting. Harvesting is also
greatly hindered by unfavorable
weather in the districts east of the
Mississippi river, where the conditions,
however are much less serious than in
the states OF the lower Missouri valley.
Harvesting continues under favorable
conditions on the Pacific coast.
While spring wheat suffered slightly
from rust over the southern portions OF
the spring wheat region and is thin
and weedy on lowlands in northern
Minnesota the crop as q whole has adj
vanced satisfactorily. 1t is now head
ing in North Dakota and northern Min
