COTTON CROP
MUCH IMPROVED
RAINS FELL OVER A WIDELY SCAT.
TERED TERRITORY.
Boil Weevils More Numerous Since the
Rains, But Not So Destructive
a. Last Year.

Memphis, Tenn.-Rains fell in moder-
ate to heavy quantity in all parts of the
cotton belt during the week save West
ern and Southwestern and parts of
Northern Texas and Western Oklahoma.
Where rain fell the cotton crop has been
put in most excellent condition and the
promise is fine. The fields are univer-
sally well cultivated and the plant is
green, healthy, growing and fruiting.
Blooms are reported in the most northern
districts.
In Oklahoma and most of the central
cotton belt the outlook is the best in
many years, and conditions approach the
ideal. They are a little less favorable in
South Carolina, where the rainfall has
10 yet been sufficient.
In Western Texas and Oklahoma the
crop has suffered no injury that rain will
not restore, but the ground is becoming
quite dry and such light and scattered
showers as have fallen have given but
little relief. Rain is rapidly becoming q
necessity for Il good cotton crop.
In Louisiana, Arkansas and Southern
Mississippi boil weevils are becoming
more numerous since the rains, but are
not SO destructive as at this time last
year.

RECIPROCITY WINS
IN FIRST ROUND
ROOT AMENDMENT DEFEATED BY
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY.
Lafollette Will Offer Amendments fos
Free Paper, Free Lumber and Many
Reductions.

Washington.--The Canadian rsciproo.
ity bill emerged from its first ordeal in
the senate Monday night unscathed. The
Root amendment proposing a modifica-
tion of the wood pulp and print paper
section of the agreement was defeated
by an overwhelming vote after seven
hours of debate. Friends of the amend
ment were so satisfied of its defeat .
roll call on the vote was not demanded.
This leaves the reciprocity measure
open to the general fight that is to fol-
low for amendment of important provis-
ions Of the Payne tariff law. Senator
Lafollette announced in a speech oppos-
ing the Root amendment he would give
to the senate a chance to pass on geI-
eral tariff amendments for free paper,
free lumber and lumber products and for
reductions in many other schedules. Sen
atcr Clapp also announced his intention
of offering a free paper amendment later
and other senators gave evidence of their
purpose to force from now on considera-
tion of tariff revision on the widest
plane.
Attack on the Root amendment was
interpreted with attacks on the whole
reciprocity measure in the debate that
ran throughout the afternoon and which
resulted In the defeat of Senator Roots
proposal to change the house bill by re-
quiring that all Canadian provinces
should remove their export restrictions
on pulp wood and its products, before
the reciprocal features of the wood pulp
and print paper items of the agreement
become effective.

EXPLOSION on STEAMBOAT
Boiler on Steamer St. Joseph Collapse,
Killing Seventeen.

Memphis, Tenn-The total dead result
ing from the collapse of a f1ue in the boil
er on the Inflated steamer City Of st.
Joseph, seven miles below Memphis, in
the Mississippi river, Saturday afternoon,
while en- route here from Whitehall, Ark,
now number seventeen. Nine victims sue
cumbed to their injuries Sunday at the
marine hospital. Three more are at that
institution, and it is believed that they
will not live. Two others, including
Floyd Morgan, the engineer, are in a dan
gerous but not necessarily fatal condi-
ton.
A scene seldom enacted anywhere was
that at the marine hospital. Ordinarily
the government hospital, which is located
on the banks of the Mississippi river,
is a place of unusual quiet for such an
institution. All day Sunday the dead
wagon of a negro undertaken was busy
hauling away the victims of the frightful
steamboat disaster. Apparently as fast
as the wagon could make a trip to the
morgue another victim was in readiness.

ROYAL COUPLE REVIEW SHIPS
American Ship Delaware Greatest Of
Great Parade.

London.-One hundred and e~ighty-fve
ships of war, representing eighteen ma
tions, paid homage to King George V and
his consort, Queen Mary, at Spitshead.
II was the greatest naval display in the
worlds history.
Spread over q six-mile stretch of sea
were the fighting monsters, all dressed
in flags and bunting and presenting an
unrivaled multi-colored picture.
In this greatest international war feet
ever assembled, our star d~readnanght,
stood out as the biggest warship afoat.
Spick and span, her brasses shining and
rejecting the midsummer rays like mir
rors, and dressed from stem to stern with
bunting. From her turrets there bristled
her great guns, and from her fighting
tops there shown the smaller caliber
rifles.
As the king and queen, on board the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert, pro
ceeded through the long lines of battle
ships, cruisers and other vessels, each
ship gave the royal salute. The thun'
derous tones of the great guns were deaf
ening. Never was there a greater can
nonading, never did such tumultuous
cheering from ships and shore make
glad the hearts Of a pair of monarchs.
