PURE FOOD CONFERENCE.
Another Ordered by the House-Alsc
on Rate Bill.

Washington, D. c., June 2S.-The
house insisted on it's amendments to
the pure food bill and asked for a
conference. The speaker appointed as
conferees Mr.. Mann of Illinois, Mr..
Hepburn of Iowa, and Mr.. Ryan of
New York. The senate agreed to the
conference and Senators Hepburn, Nc
Cumber and Latimer were appointed Is
conferees.
The senate yesterday discussed the
conference report on the railroad rate
bill for more han our hours. but did
not dispose of it. 1t was made evident,
however, that another conference will
be ordered.
The discussion dealt entirely with the
anti-pass and commodity amendments,
to both of which objection was made on
various grounds. Senator Spooner ex-
pressed the opinion that under the pass
provisions as reported senators and
members of the house of representa-
tives would not be prohibited from ac-
cepting passes, and other senators con-
strued part of the provision as in the
interest of a discrimination in passes
that could be made to Jake the place
of rebates.
Senators Tillman and Lodge sharply
criticised the change in the commodity
amendment so as to prohibit rail

shore. My idea was that I could touch
the thing off. you know, and that about
sixty square feet of the pond would fly
up in the air and hen fall gracefully
back again. If it had worked as I ex-
pected, everything would hav been all
right, but it didn't. 1 had too much
powder. Fol- a second after 1 had lit
the fuse there came a muffled roar, and
the whole pond in Il solid mass, fish
and all, went flying up in the air
and disanpeared. Everybody was as
tonished; not a few more We're very

I was the person who had blown the
pond off.
How high the pond went I don't
know, out | do know that for a week
there wasn't any sign of it, and then,
peared to be a clear sky there came
the most extraordinary rainstorm you
ever saw. 1t literally poured down

could understand, with it came trout
and sunfish and minnows, and, most
singular to all but myself. an old
scow thai was recognized as the prop

When l saw the scow coming l was
more frightened than ever because I
was afraid it might fall upon and kill
some of our neighbours. Fortunately,
however, this possible disaster was
averted, for it came down directly over
the sharp point lightning rod on the
tower Of Jul public library and stuck
there like a piece of paper on a pin.
The rain washed away several acres
of cultivated farms, but the loss of
crops and fences and SO forth was
largely reduced by the fish which came
with the storm. One farmer took a
rake and caught 800 pounds of trout,
forty pounds of suntish, eight turtles
and q minnow in his potato patch in
five minutes. Others were almost as
fortunate, but the damage wa suf1i-

for crops in Great Britain is reported
by Consul F. w. Mahin, of Nothing
ham, to be somewhat di~scouraging this
year..
The past winter was unusually dry,
the want of rain amounting almost to
drought. The early part of the spring
was also comparatively dry. Since
then the weather has been abnormaliy
cold, and the month of May witnessed
severe frosts, killing to all but hardy
vegetation and FRUIT buds. Irreparabla
injury has been done, and the season,
or the whole, is about two weeks late.
The hay crop will almost certainly
be short. Hay is consequently high
priced, the last quotation in the Not
tingham market being $22 a ton. Hops,
which made a record yield last year,
have an unpromising outlook now.
Potatoes are much retarded. Wheat
sown last fall is about the only farm
product of which gloomy things are
not said. The reports indicate at least
ar average crop and possibly more.
British sheep have also been seri-
ously injured by unfavorable weather.
The number of lambs is less this year
usual. The number per 1000 of
ewes ,is about 10 less than in 1904 and
about "a less than in 1905. 1t is not
expected, however, hat sheep farm
ing will prove disastrous this year, as
prices of wool are highly favorable and
mutton is in prime demand
