“ MANY REASONS FOR REJOICING Reports From All the States Bring News of Bountiful Harvests, WELL FILLED GRANARIES WILL BE THE RULE. Corn s a Little Backward, but W Come Out All Right-But Slight Damage by Frost. Wasnisaros, D, C., Aug. 20.—The weather bureau today issued the followiug crop bul- letin Tho week was unusually cool throughout the central valleys, including the corn and wheat states and the greater portion of the Uon region, the average daily temperature over these section ranging from six to eight degroes below the previous year for the same wock. These conditions were directly the re- verse of those most needed over the corn re gion, where the crop is late. Frosts have already occurred in northern Minnesota, the Dakotas and portions of Wis- consin and northern lowa, resulting in some damago to wheat, cranberries and vegetables, but causing little or no injury to corn. The week was warmer than usual both on the At lantic and Pacitic coast. Tho rainfall during the week was gener- ally in excess over the interior of Texas nnd at northern Rocky mountain stations. The rainfail in the south Atlantic s'ates was un usually heavy. These heavy rains were ac companied by floods in localities, which must have caused some damage to growing crops. Tn the Missouri and upper Mississipi val- leys the rainfall was very light, as also was the case in the lower Mississippi valiey. No rain was reported from the Pacific coast. ‘The seasonal rainfall continues in excess, generally, on the Atlantic coast, except in Florida and on the east slope of the Rocky mountains, including the greater portions of the country west of the Missiasippi. In the central valleys and lake rogions, from 80 to %) per cent of the normal rainfall has occurred oxoept over the greater portion of Louisi- ana, whera theseasonal rainfall has been about fifteon Inches less than usual, this beiog about 60 per ceut of the normal rain- fall. fowa—Seventy per cent of the corn crop of the state will be safe in three weeks, but tho remainder is backward and will not-mature, under normal westher conditions, in a month; light frosts on four days, injuring the vege- tables only. North and South Dakota—The frosts in North Dakota damaged late wheat, oats and flax; it is probaoie 15 per ceut more than three-fourths of the wheat crop is harvested or beyond injury; corn was budly damaged, but_there is but litile raised in the state. - Tu South Dukota the dumage was slight, the wheat and oats having heen harvested or being beyond injury; there was some dam- ago to millet, but slight to flax. Some late vines were killed in both states, but smudg- ing was general and served to protect vege- tables to a great degree. Nebraska—Weather was cool and unfavor- able for corn; a fow fields of corn in south Nebraska urc safe frow frost, but most of the crop needs considerable wavin weather to muture i1 ; light frosts Monday and Tuesday, _but no damuge reported. Kansas—Haying and threshing progressed favorable; weather is too dry for late corn and fruits, which will, however, mako fair crops, unless injured by frost; ground is too dry 10 plow; light frosts on Sunday aud Mon- day, but. did no damage. b Colorado—Harvest is progressing in the San Luis valley, elsewhere it has been com- pleted; the yield of early grain was heavy, but tho late crop is badly rusted, making the total yield about the average general. Rains during the weok benofitted standing crops, but warm, dry weather is now needed; light frosts oceurred during tho week, butno damage resulted. Nebraska and Towa Reports. Cnere, Neb., Aug. 20.—The week past has been oneof phenomenally low temperature for August, with light frosts, checking the growth of corn, but not materially injuring it otheriwise, The temperature of the week has been from seven to nino degrees below the nor mal; light frosts were very general on tho 23d and 24th; teuder garden vegetables were slightly injured in many places on low ground. No dawmage to corn has been re- ported. Sunshine has beon about average. ‘The rainfall varied from almost noue to over two inches, being gouerally above the verage. Owing to the cool weather of the past weels corn has not matured as rapidly as it should at this season of the yoar. In the southeast- ern part of the state somo flelds are re- garded as out of danger from frost, yet the wreater part of it in this aud all of it in other parts of the state is so backward that much warm weather is stll required to mature 1t. Des Morses, In., Aug. 20.—The bulletin of tho Towa weather aud crop service says this is the coldest August week in twenty yoars. Light frosts are reported in all aistricts for four dnys of the week, but only the tenderest vegetation was injured. Some localities re ort grain 1o the shock damaged by humid- ty, maturing of corn retarded and two or thiroe weeks needed to ripen the bulk of tne crop. About 30 per cent of the corn is too far behind to mature under nominal weather conditions the coming month. Potatoes wil bo avery heavy crop, but are beginning to Tou in some plices. e DESTRUCTIVE PRAIRIE FIRES, North Dakota People Burned Ou Home and Crops.

Wasnixatox, D. C., Aug. 20.—At the re- quest of tho Latin-American bureau of the World's Columbian - exposition, Cardinal Gibbons has requested the proper officers of tho several religious ordors of the Roman Catholic church, both in Europe and Amer- ica, to cause therr archives to bo searched for historical records bear- ing upon the discovory and settis- ment of tne new world. It is known that every ship that left Spain, beginuing with the first voyage of Columbus, carried among their crew a priest and that the missionaries made voluminous reports to the heads of their differeat orders, very few of which wera ever published. It is believed that the archives of the church aro filled with vaiua- ble historic material, The quadri-centennial of Columbus revives the early history of the continent, and Cardinal Gibbons has™ under- taken the work with wreat zeal. The Very Rev. K. V. Boursaud of the Society of Jesuits, the president of Woodstock colloge, Maryland, hos also entered into the scarch with interest and is now corresponding with the hoads of the ordors in Kome and eiso- where on the matter. —— NORTH CAROLINA JUSTICE, n Admittance Fee Charged to See the Blind Goddess do Her W ork.

Graxp Istavp, Neb., Aug. 20.—[Special Telogram to Tue Bee |—Notwithstanding the fact that the reduced rate of fare does not take effoct uutil tomorrow there are moro than 2,000 people already on the ground at Camp Shorman. Ninetee. companies of the Nebraska National guards arrived in camp today and the remainiog four companies will arrive 1n the morniug. Captain Calvert's troop of cavalry marched in about 6 o'clock this evening in fine style, passing through the priucipal business streets on the way to camp. The officers have been busy issuing uni- forms today and most of the companies have been newly uniformed throughout and the remainder will be issued tomorrow. Such a crowd at this stage has uever bofore been kuown in the history of the Grand Army of the Ropublic reunions. The weather is beau- tiful and all are delightod with the camp and arrangemonts throughout. “T'he booths that were ready for business have enjoyed a lively trade today, far beyond expectations, aud nothing but exprossions of satisfaction are to be heard anywhere, Ex- cellent meals aro being sorved in camp at tho low price of 25 cents, and there is not the least disposition to overcharge in any line of business itner in camp or city.

A aumber of railroni officials visited the camp this evening and all remarked that they had never seen anything like 1t and all predicted such an attendance as had never been known before at any Grand Army of the Repuolic reunion in any state. Booth privileges have nearly all teon sold and still the demand is active. The street car line is doing a lively busi- ness and by Monday will be taxed to the utmost as” will also be the hacks and other conveyances, It is now certainly known that the veter-- ans aro coming from everywhere at least 60,000 stzong, and the few Croakers who pre dicted a slicht attendance have taken to the woods at the first approach of the advauce guards, and all agree that Monday will show such a crowd as never has been witnessed at. any reunion ou ovening day. There was some_excellent drilling by some of the companies. Today and tomorrow even- ing the people will witness a dress parade by the entire military force. Quartermaster Harrison and in fact the entire committee deserve great credit for the energy with which they have pushed the work to such early completion and strictly in accord with detailed plans, It is plain to be sesn that those on the grounds are enjoying camp life and thoy intend to have a happy time.

Cicaao, [1l., Aug. 20.— While nobody has been found here today who can throw any new light on the Union Pacific deal, the best posted railroad mon express no surprise that Gould has relinquished his control of the road to the Vanderbilts. Itis simply a con- firmation of rumors that have been almost constantly in circulation for several months and espcially since the organization of a syndicato to take care of the Union Pacific floating debt was begun. But that part of the story rolating to the formation of a big railroad trust as one of the objects of the deal, is generally scouted, It is ot believed that the Vanderbilts have suy intention or desire to get control of the Southerv Pacific, and 1t is not supposed that any combination is contomplated beyond the establishment of harmonious relations vetween the various roads as a relief from over competition. A westorn railroad official said today: “You see, when J. Pierrepont Morgan con- sented to represent the syndicate organized to take care of the floating debt it was on condition that he should be placed in supreme control of the road. Mr. Morean is aiso in- terested in the Chicago &orthwestern and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. It is @& natural conclusion, there- fore, that the relations of theso two roads with the Uuion Pacific will be none the less friendly on account of the change. In fact, the retirement of Gould from the contrel of affairs will no doubt operate to the advantage of both roads, since there will be less likelihooa of through traffic being diverted from fits natural channels to benefit Gould's Missouri Pacific.” It is believed that the organization of the syndicato meets with Gould’s full approval and that he will work fn harmony with the new management of the Union Pacific. In fact there are 1hose who profess to know that an agreemont to that effect was entered into as a part of the deal, and that the prin- cipal objectof the whole transaction is to secure groater harmony among these wostern roads which have common iuterests to pro- tect. New Youk, Aug. 20.—Charles H. Coster, of the firm of Drexel, Morgan & Co., said that he knew nothing about a majority of the securities of the Union Pacific road being placed 1n the hands of his firm, He further smid that he knew nothing about the rumor that Jay Gould had relinquished covtrol of the road and that Pierrepont Morgan was to be the leading spirit in the management. In regard to the report that Jay Gould has retired from the control of the Union Pacific and that n close combination of the Union Pacific, St. Paul and Northwestern will soon be consummated, nothing definite, either in way of confirmation or denial could be learned here today, but it was generally un- derstood that PierrepontiMorgan and his friends recently bought large blocks of Union Pacific stock and that most of it was for Van- derbilt's account. Cu1cAGo, 111, Aug. 20.—Several months ago a serious freight rate” war ou business from “hicago aud Milwaukee to Texas poiuts was threatened on account of the application of the Chicago tariff to Milwaukee anda the de- mand of the Miiwaukee initwl lines for a larger percentage of the rate in this business to Chicago. There was every prospect for a war when the matter was re- ferred for arbitration to Chairmen Midgeley and Faithorn, The arbitrators delivered their docision yesterday. They define, in the first place, the bounds of ths Milwaukee territory, which is entitled to take chargo of rates and hold that the line north of Chicago should receive #0 per ceut and toe lines south of Chicago 70 per cont and the rato to tho Mississippi [river, thus making it a comprowise decision.
