The present situation is extremely
delicate. and the greatest reticence is
observed. The foreign office is desert
ed, this being the empress birthday.
and at the American embassy no state

Nevertheless there are some collateral
indications that the ernperor's response
was favorable
DeIcasse's Retirement a Blow.
The sudden retirement of the French
foreign minister. Delcasse. who was re-
garded as not only one of the strongest
supporters of the dual alliance. but as
one of the staunchest friends of Rus
sia. was a great blow to Russia and
rendered Roosevelt's friendly tender
particularly Opportune. Besides. it is
known the emperor has been strongly
advised, if he decided to open peace
negotiations, to do SO through ROose-
welt.

BEST WEEK YET FOR THE
GROWTH OF FARM CROPS
Dnouth Beginning to Be Felt in Por-
tions of illinois But Ii is Not
Serious.

The weekly crop bulletin for Illinois
for the week ending June ;. 1905. fol
lows:
The weather during the past week
has probably been the most favorable
farming operations. While the nights
the first part of the week were rather
too cool for best results the days were
warm and considerable bright sun
shine obtained. The mean temperature
was slightly above normal. Rainfall,
heavy in parts of the central and north
ern districts, occurred principally on
MAY % The measurements in the
southern district were light, and the
need of moisture is being manifested
in many localities. A hGilstOrm OF
damaging character occurred on the
29th, and considerable fruit was injur-
ed in localities of the central and the
northern districts.
While some planting remains to be
done, the bulk of the corn crop is in
the ground, and the plant is showing in
most places. The nights have been
too cool for rapid growth. but healthy
advance has ensued. and most fields
are showing a good stand. The wealth
er has been very favorable for field
work. much cultivating being done in
the northern district, and in the cen
tral and the southern districts, in
many instances, the crop has been cul-
tivated the second time.
Wheat is ripening fast in the south
ern district and harvest will begin dur
ing the ensuing week. Adverse re-
ports are received from some lOcali-
ties. showing some fields affected by
rust, and a few by Hessian fly. but the
great majority of reports are favorable,
and the outlook at this time indicates
an average crop Of good quality.
Barley has made good growth and
rye continues promising. The NOW
ing of clover has begun in the south
ern district, and the crop is nearly ripe
in the central district. The output will
be heavy. Timothy is making fine
growth. COwpeas are being sown in
the southern district Oats maintain
very promising condition, and some
fields are heading out in the central
district.
A plentiful crop of strawberries Of
good quality is ripe in the central and
northern districts; blackberries and
raspberries are promising; cherries are
ripe. but the yield is light; the pros
poets for grapes are good; a fair crop
of apples is indicated.
Gardens have improved; the out
look for potatoes is very promising /:
the early planted are ripe and are be
ing marketed in the southern district.

PERTAINING TO THIS CITY
Controversy Developing Over ProPos-
ed Route of Rock Island
Southern.

Monmouth Review: NJ. A Walsh
president of the Rock Island Southern
Railroad company, returned from Chi
cago this morning, where he had been
with w. w. Mccullough yesterday, in
arranging shipments of building sup
plies for the line now building between
Monmouth and Galesburg. Mr. McCul-
Tough will remain there a day or two
longer
Quite a number of men are engaged
in putting in guards at the various
road crossings and making passes for
stock This work will be of perma-
nent nature. Concrete is the material
used in making these culverts. and
they will be put in for permanency.
Wire Fencing Received.
Several tons of fence wire have been
received and are ready for delivery
along the route as soon as sufficient
posts are delivered. A car load of
posts was received today.
When the project of building an
electric line from Rock Island south to
this city. Galesburg and other places,
was first made public. the Rock Island
street CdI company BCCellhG NCl Dhog
in its opposition and an attempt was
made to keep the new company from
crossing the river over the govern
ment island. and in other ways sought
to stop the new company from getting
into Rock Island The latter city has
been very desirous for a long time to
have an interurban built south, but the
local company did nothing in the mat
ter until it was thought another com
pany would enter the field. From re-
ports coming from the vicinity of Aledo
it is evident the Tri-city company is
getting very busy. Whether it will
succeed is a question.
Overtures are said to have been
made AledO for bonus to build the
line by the Tri-city company, and a
committee is TO confer with the Rock
Island people upon the subject. A
conference is set for some day this
week
The Rock Island Southern is asking
for no bonus, but will go north from
Monmouth in all probabilities. The
route is a desirable one, and can be
built upon if encouragement is given.
GnIesburg View.
The attitude of Galesburg is eX-
pressed in the following item from the
Republican-Regist and should be
read and well considered by every one
living between Monmouth and Aledo:
1T would be of no benefit to Gales
burg to have a line from Rock Island
pass through Aledo and proceed to
Monmouth. II would give Monmouth
and Rock Island an advantage over
Galesburg This is the condition or
affairs now confronting the city. The
Rock Island men should be communi-
Gated with and a through line arrang-
