INTERESTS OF RUSSIA
YoUNGHUSBAND'S EXPEDITION
 OF IMPORTANCE.
Has Not Attracted Great Attention in Czar's Domains, Because Paws of the Bear are
 Already Full.

St. Petersburg, April 1.-Although no official expression regarding the victory of the British expedition to Thibet is ob- tainable tonight, 1t is certain that the af- fair will not attract as much attention as 1t would before the outbreak of the war with Japan. when Russian interests in the results of the expedition was very keen. The real purpose of the expedition were then viewed with the gravest sus- picion. 1t heinz feared that a definite es- tablishment of British influence over the Grand Lama of L'Hassa, which was re- garded as Great Britian's object would be severe blow to Russian prestige, both in Thibet and China.
 The situation is now changed because Russia's hands are at present too full to leave her free to act, even if so disposed, because there are now increasing indica- tions that better relations between Great Britain and Russia are in sight, or at least there Is an increasing desire for such relations by both countries.

CONDITIONS OF CROPS.
Weather Bureaus Summary for the
 Month of March.

Washington, April 1.-The Weather Blu reaus summary of crop conditions flor March is as follows:
 From the upper Mississippi Valley to the Middle Atlantic Coast the season Is generally reported backward, although the average temperature for the month in those districts was generally in excess of the normal. Tn the Southern States the month has been mild and favorable for farming operations. The northern portions of the Central Gulf States. how ever, the central valleys and the greater part of the lake region suffered from ex- cessive rains and Western Texas and the southern plateau region from drouth. Flom Northern Wisconsin westward to Inc Rocky Mountains, the ground is still fc,zen deeply and no farm work has beer done On the Pacific Coast the month has been cold and wet, wholly pre- venting farm work in Washington and Oregon.
 over the western portion of the prin- ci-el winter wheat area the reports in dicate an improvement in the condition of winter wheat and in some of the more ,s sterly sections slight improvement is also indicated.
 As at the close of the previous month the least favorable reports are received from the central and eastern districts. Good progress has been made with oat stt ding in the Southern States with the exception of Western Texas, where it has been too dry and the general out look for this crop is promising. Seeding is in progress so far north as Southern Missouri and Kansas. but no seeding has been done farther north.
 h the Gulf States much corn has been planted and good stands are reported. Some planting has been done.in the south ern portions of Kansas and Missouri r! eparations for corn planting in the Central Mississippi and Ohio valleys and Middle Atlantic States have progressed slowly. In the central and western portions of the cotton belt cotton planting was pro- gressing rapidly at the close of the month and some planting has been done in all the eastern districts. In Southern Texas about half the crop has been planted and tine early planted Is coming up nicely
 In the central valleys, lower. lake re- giom and New England, peaches are re- rcrte6 to have been injured, but thus far escared injury in the middle and South Al antic States.
