FARMERS PROTEST AS

" Reports.
New York Herald Special Service.

Washington, May 5.-The discon-
tinuance Of the weather bureau crop
reports is not pleasing to the CONNER
cial world or farmers. Since it became
known that the crop reports would not
appear this season protests have been
coming in from all parts Of the country,
which may result in the restoration Of
the weekly reports, but up to this time
no steps in that direction have been
taken at the agricultural department..
The summary was dropped because Of
the. complaint that it did not always
agree with the monthly crop report
issued by the bureau Of statistics. It
was not deemed wise to have the two
bureaus issuing crop outlook summaries.
The protests that are coming in indicate
that the country cared more for the
weekly summary than for the monthly
statement.
Under the old system the weather
bureau organized a competent corps Of
agents thruout the country, and the
condition of growing crops was dill.
gently and accurately set forth once
each week.
Under the new arrangements the
weather bureau will continue to gather
information, but it will be turned over
to the bureau Of statistics for use in
the monthly bulletin. It may be thai
congress will direct the department tt
restore the weekly summary.

It would seem that the country was
"sightso for the convenience Of the
modern traveller, for the visitor who
goes up the Nile and stops off at the
right spots can do a clean job of sight
seeing without doubling on his tracks.
Until a few years ago the tourist
going up the Nile had to take a daha-
bean. This sounds like the name Of a
f1at-bottomed sailboat. The %dahabeah
moves only when the wind is in the
right direction, and to 20 from Cairo
to Assouan requires the greater part Of
a lifetime. Those travellers who nave
money to burn and who are content to
settle down to many weeks of rest and
Incidence charter the private daha-
beahs. When a traveller goes aboard
a dahabeah he tears up the calendar
and lets his watch run down. Those
who have more money and are In a
hurry use the private steam d~ahabeahs.
A majority of travellers 60 by passen-
ger boats. The tourist steamers de-
vote three weeks to a loafng voyage
Lup to Assouan and back, with daily
excursions to the graveyards and ruins.
The express steamers, carrying freight
and native passengers, take less time for
the round trip, as they skip some of the
less interesting antiquities. We took
an express steamer, thereby missing
many of the tombs and temples, but
still getting enough Of them to last us

this unexpected move on the part of the

and fawless production. He is noted
as a particularly critical observer of
rehearsals, and is fond of drilling and
re-drilling stage mobs and crowds who
have to act in unison like the numerous
ensembles in Shakspere tragedies. He
has designed personally hundreds Of
costumes and stage settings and has
rehearsed syllable by syllable every
both English and German. Such a rec
ord, it is claimed by his friends, is per-
haps without equal in the stage history
of any country.
The old duke is venerated, apart
from his devotion to the stage, for his
bravery and brilliancy as a soldier. He
is celebrated, too, as a thoro German
patriot, for he broke with his father,
the reigning grand. duke in 1866, when
Prussia went to "a with Austria, his
father abdicating the Saxe-M einingen
throne in order to side with Austria.
George II then became reigning duke
and was made a lieutenant-general in
the German army: In the war with
France, four years later, he served with
conspicuous g%allantry, and at the head
troops, captured the first flags taken
from the Frenchain that terrible cam
paign, in a battle fought at Froesch-
weller. At Sedan and ~Chateaudun,
Duke George again distinguished him
self. Owing to his Importantly to be
allowed to do something for the new
born Germany, the duke was permitted
to participate in practically every great
battle of the war and was among the
victorious staff of the old kaiser and
Bismarck when the triumphant Ger.
mans marched into Paris and ended the
struggle.
Duke George has been married three
times: first to Princess Charlotte OF
Prussia, second to Princess Fedora OF
notwithstanding, and third te
the actress, Helene Lange, who, after
her ~morganatic marriage to his roya
highness, received the title Of Baroness
Heldburg. His son by his first mar
riage, the hereditary Prince Bernhard
of Saxe-Meiningen, is married t
Princess Charlotte of Prussia, a sister
Of the German kaiser.

They had wiped out British armies and

He carried ice water in his veins and
his mental machinery licked with
Birmingham regularity. He did not get
excited and dash into the open trap, as
all the others had done. He moved
slowly, but relentlessly into the dread
country and built a railroad as he went
along. He carried everything that a
British army needs-marmalade, polo
ponies, Belfast ginger ale, timed meats,
ripeclay, etc.

ACTORS TO HONOR
4 ROYAL MANAGER
German Dramatic World Will
Celebrate Eightieth Birth
day Of Duke George.
Special Correspondence Of The Journal.

SRSSA&
Berlin, April 21.-German, dramatists,
actors, o~perasingers, impresarlos and
theatrical folk Of all kinds will join In
the approaching celebration of the
eightieth birthday of George IL, reign
ing duke of Saxe-MeIningen, the veneer
able patron of the German stage and re-
former of modern German dramatic
methods. While his fellow sovereigns
en- the other twenty-odd thrones of the
Teuton empire have been applying
themselves to purely affairs of state,
Duke George has devoted practically
the whole Of his reign to the theater,
with the result that the "profession'
in Germany reveres him as its own par
ticular distinguished head.
Unlike other crowned heads, who
have devoted time to the patronage of
dramatic art, Duke George has brought
to his hobby talent and capacity of a
really brilliant order, and ranks by
general consent as one Of the great,
est stage managers and producers
! in Germany. The Court theater al
! Meiningen, in consequence, is in a class
by itself, and once to have been a mem.
Der Of the Meiningen ensemble, is {

low between the rugged hill ranges is
