SUMMARY OF CROP CONDITIONS.
An Exceptionally Large and Fine Yield
OF Corn is Now Assured.

Washington, Oct. 4.-The weekly
crop bulletin of the weather bureau
summarizes crop conditions as fol.
lows:
Favorable weather prevailed throughout
the principal corn states. An exceptionally
large and fine yield Of corn Is now assured
over much Of the greater part OF the corn
belt and only a very small part Of the crop
In the north central portion, estimated at
from = to . per cent, remains exposed to In
jury from frost, and this Is maturing rap
Idly. The crop In Missouri was extensively
blown down or lodged, but not withstanding
this and the damage by September floods,
the yield In that state will be very heavy.
A light apple crop Is reported nearly
every where, only a few unlmportant apple
producing states indicating satisfactory
yields.
Owing to the extensive prevalence OF
blight ana rot In the principal potato pro
ducing states a light crop of potatoes OF
Inferior quality is generally promised.
The fall sc son so far has been excep.
tionally favorable for blowing and seeding
In the central valley, lake region and mid.
die Atlantic states. In portions OF the
southern states and on the north Pacific
coast dry soil conditions have not been ia.
vOrable for this work.

RAMsEY's FIGHT ON GOULD.
Wabash Embroglio Reaches Injunction
STAGE of Its Proceedings,

st. Louis, Oct. 4.-Suit for Injunction
was filed in the St. Louis circuit court
by Joseph Ramsey, Jr., president of
the Wabash, against the Iron Noun
tain and Wabash Railway companies,
the Mercantile Trust company of New
York, Walter S. Wilson, II. w. Walker
and George j. Gould.
In his petition Mr.. Ramsey asks the
court to grant him an injunction pre-
venting the proposed annual meeting
of George ]. Gould and his associates
at Toledo, where 1t Is proposed to elect
a board OF directors and a president
to control the Wabash road for the
next year.
AS a reason, he alleges that the one
result of this meeting would be to
stifie competition in traffic between
the Wabash and Missouri Pacific roads
between st. Louis and Kansas City.
Ramsey sets out in his petition that
he Is a resident of Missouri, while the
defendants are nonresidents. He owns
$4,000 par value of the %debenture
bonds Of the Wabash and 100 shares
of the capital stock. He brings the
suit, he says, for himself and others
similarly situated. The Missouri Pa
cihc railroad, he says, holds 10000
shares OF Wabash stock, the Iron
Mountain holds $4,000 shares Of pre-
ferred stock and $685. 900 par value
Of ~debentures, these shares being held
In trust by the Mercantile Trust COM
pany of New York, Wilson, Walker
and Gould. Gould, he says, owns and
controls a majority of the stock OF the
Missouri Pacific and controls the ma
jority OF the stock Of the Iron Noun
tain railway.
F. w. Lehman, attorney for Mr..
Ramsey, says: The importance of
this suit to the public is in that 1t Is
a suit to enjoin rival companies Of the
Wabash from voting its stock and de.
bentures."

Dragged From Engine by Crowd and
Forced 10 Rescjnd Order.

Denver, Oct. 3.--The spectacle OF a
member Of the judiciary being dragged
about by a mob and forced to rescind
an official order ended a day of
turmoil at Brighton, Colo, the county
seat of Adams county. A. II. Gutbiel,
county Judge, hauled the mayor. mar
shall and members Of the town board
before him and lectured them for their
alleged failure to enforce ordinances
against gambling and Sunday liquor
selling. Following this, he ordered the
sheriff and marshal to gather the slot
machines In the town of Brighton,
and when they reported later that
they could only find one, Judge Guthiel
deputized two men to arrest them for
contempt. In the meantime both the
sheriff and the marshal disappeared.
The report OF the judges action con.
corning the two peace officers spread
through the town and caused much
excitement. Citizens began to gather
on the streets, and, fearing for his
personal safety, Judge Guthiel boarded
a freight engine as it was pulling a
train slowly through the town. He
ordered the engineer to %uncouple the
engine from the train and run to this
city with him. threatening legal action
unless the engineer complied with the
order. The latter refused to obey the
demand, and while they were discuss
ing the matter a mob gathered around
the engine and Judge Guthiel was
dragged from the engine. He was
arrest against the sheriff and marshal
told that he must rescind his order of
and upon being assured that he had
already done SO, the judge was re.
leased by the mob and allowed to
proceed to this city on a passenger
train later. Judge Guthiel has been
at wal almost constantly with other
county officers since his administra-
ton began about a year ago, and has
had these officials and members of
the bar before him time and again on
charges of contempt.

WOMAN KILLS SEVEN CHILDREN

Lifting, OF CABINET
CHINESE EXCLUSION LAW AND
BOYCOTT DISCUSSED.
Presidents Instructions to Consular
officers In China Cannot Be Com.
piled With-changes Must Be Made
In Method Of Executing Law.

Washington, Oct. 4.-The most IL.
teresting subjects discussed at the
cabinet meeting were, first, the Chi.
nese boycott against American goods,
and, second, the consideration of com
plants made by the Chinese against
the method OF executing the existing
Chinese exclusion laws. The import.
ant fact developed was that the presi.
dents effort last summer to allay the
indignation of the Chinese by a cir.
cular of instructions to the American
minister to China and consular officers
therein had in a measure failed of it's
purpose, and required considerable
amendment to secure the object
sought. Minister Rockhill himself re.
ported that 1t had not been found pos.
sible to carry out the instructions in
the letter without doing great injus-
tice to worthy Chinese and imposing
burdens too heavy to be borne upon
the American consuls.
Coming freshly from the Orient,
Secretary Taft took a prominent part
in the discussion of this matter and
presented some of the results of his
observations on his recent trip. II
developed that the requirement that
American consuls identify the Chinese
seeking certificates admitting them to
American ports imposed a task upon
these officials beyond their ability.
The Chinese applicant frequently
came from some place far distant from
the American consulate and the con-
sui was consequently obliged TO re.
fuse to identify as proper persons to
be admitted to the United States very
many worthy Chinese, which of course
led to bitter complaint and fostered
the boycott feeling.
The trend of opinion in the cabinet
meeting was that the complaints were
directed rather against the construc-
ton placed upon the law than against
the act itself and especially against
the definition given in California to
the term coolie, so it was practically
decided that changes must be made.

Foster OF Louisiana, returned to Wash
ington with the secretary. The other
members went home by different
routes or stopped on the way across
the continent. Secretary Taft ap-
peared to be hearty and vigorous and
cordially greeted those who met him.
He made a quick trip to his home and
then proceeded to the war department.
There he expressed qualification that
the long journey was over and that it
had been accomplished without mis-.
hap to any OF the party. In discussing
briefly his trip, the secretary said that
the natives Of the Philippines have
cached the point where they can par.
ticipate in legislation with profit to
themselves and that it will be a good
education for them. There are, he
added, a sufficient number well quail
flied to compose one branch of the
Legislative body.
Secretary Taft dined with President
and Mrs. Roosevelt at the white house.
The secretary detailed to the presi-
dent the details of the congressional
party's tour of the Philippines and the
Orient.
