Fails to Get Redress for Mexico's Depre.
dations.

Washington.-In a strong arraign-
ment of the government for its failure to
get redress for injuries to American cit
liens and property resulting from the
Mexican war, Senator Fall of New Mex
leo declared in the senate that this coun.
try would not regain its prestige in
Mexico for fifty years.
He said China, Germany and other
countries had forced Mexico to make
restitution for damages. Thus far, he
said, the United States had done moth
ing. He added that, because Of the
course of the state department, the peo-
pie of Mexico believe this country is be-
hind the Madero government, and it was
responsible for the overthrow of Pres
ident Diaz.

COTTON CROP IS
POOR IN THE EAST
BUT MADE EXCELLENT PROGRESS
IN THE WEST,
IS FRUinNG VERY POORLY
Crop West of the River Made Splendid
development, Deterioration in East.
Texas and Oklahoma Report
Favorable Conditions.

The cotton crop duplicated its perform,
ance Of the previous week and made
progress west of the river and lost
ground east of the river during last
week.
Western progress was at least bal
anced by eastern deterioration, and prob
ably outweighed.
In some parts of the section east of
the river progress was made, due to the
visited that section during the last three
weeks. In large portions of states near
est the Mississippi river the precipita-
ton has not been excessive, and in these
districts the crop made good advance.
But the deteriorations in the portions Of
these states where rainfall was too
heavy added to the almost solid dete-
rioration farther east overbalanced the
gains made in the good sections and
caused a general deterioration ON the
whole. The plant in this section is
generally gone too much to weed; is
sappy and tender and poorly prepared
to withstand the dry weather. Cultiva-
ton has been arrested and fields are full
Of grass and weeds, many acres having
beer abandoned on this account.
West of the river progress was excel
lent, especially in Oklahoma and Texas,
where the splendid conditions of the last
fortnight were maintained.
Complaints of boil weevil are rather
few, with very little damage so far.
Complaints of grass worm and kindred
insects were made from some sections,
considerable damage from this source
having been reported from the East.
