With the United States signal sirvlco was
issued today. The report Is tabulated from
ever ono thousand reports representing every
tounty in the stato. It reports the crop sea-
Bon of IB'Jl generally late , and the wcnthor
conditions unfavorable for seeding nnd other
farm work during March nnd the first half of
April. Thola.it half of April brouirht moro
favorable conditions for planting and gave a
fitrong Impetus to vogotatlon. May was cool
mid dry until near the close of the month ,
and In many parts of the state crass and
email grain suffered materially from drouth
and cold wcathor. But despite nil these
drawbacks and adverse conditions our Juno
crop report makes a very good showing for
the state nt largo , giving a now Illustration
of the never failing productiveness of Iowa.
Compared with last year , there Is an in
crease In the ncroago of winter wheat , corn ,
broorn corn , winter nnd spring rye , wlntor

The conoral condition of llvo stock Is fair ,
With few exceptions. Cattle , 03V ( .orcent ;

torses , Ouk' per cent. There appears to have
been considerable loss of pigs and colts ,
caused in part by the scarcity of food , and
thin condition of sows and mares.
May 20 was the date of the latest frost , but
.lio material damage resulted from nny 1'rost
"
lifter the middle of May. Considering the
frequency of frost visitations the total dam-
ego resulting therefrom was very light.
The condition of soil is placed at 03 percent
as the average of 937 reports.
Throe hundred and seventy-eight corre
spondents estimate the season U > have bcon
ten days early , nndKill make It ten days late
Jn their respective localities. It was tloubt-
oss both early and late as to certain things
tiotod. The iloworing of certain trees nnd
the growth of grass would bo marlcod early ,
but thfi season favorable to seeding of small
grain was ten days or moro late. The corn
planting season was about as early as the
average , possibly in some sections a llttlo
earlier.

The dlfforonoo that has existed between
Contractor Coots of the city hull nnd some
members of the council relative to the em
ployment of union labor In the construction
of the building Is about settled.
Council Morcarty , who has boon the cham
pion of the union Inbor movement In connec
tion with the city hall , snld yoifrdny : "I
wish wo could nmko Coots nlro union men ,
but I don't see how wo can do so. Ho has
tbo contract to erect the building , anil truth
fully 1 fall to sco how wo can dic
tate who ho shall hire. Wo can ask him
to glvo union-labor the preference , but I
don't see ho\v wo cnn force him to hire any
particular class of men. "
Contractor Coots In speaking upon the sub
ject said , "I think the council Is making a
mountain out of a mole hill. I also
think some of the men nro ox-
ceodlng their authority In trying to
dictate what tnon I shall hlro.
"Regarding the charge against mo , I want
to say thnt 1 do not discriminate ngninit
union labor. If n man comes to mo aim asks
for work , I give htm a Job without asking
whether or not ho Is n union man.
"I have not discharged nny union mon because -
cause they were union mon. All of the mon
now on the work except bricklayers , so far
as I know are union mon , and nil nro receiv
ing the highest union wages. The only non
union men on the Job are the bricklayers , nnd
the union mon m that order would not work
bucanso I would not pay them for nltio hours
on Saturday for eight hours work. This I
could not do.
"Then It was a rather queer proceeding , "
concluded Mr. Coots , "for the council com
mittee to hold un Investigation of charges
against mo without asking mo to bo present.
I nm wlllingjxt any time to face and answer
nny charges against mo. "

quietly sleeping on the doorstop of the estab
lishment when the "dog wagon" drew up and
the minion of the dog catcher seized the ;
sleeping animal by the nouk and back an d
II red him into the wagon.
Mr. Stewart's attention was attracted to
the sccno and Mrs. Stewart also appeared at
the door bewailing the fate of her pot. Mr.
Stewart mounted the wagon and seized the
dog fiend by the throat and hold him with
one hand , whllo with the ether ho ho ex
tracted his dog from nmong the pack of howl
ing , yelping curs. This done , Mr. Stewart
turned his attention to the man and adminis
tered n severe thrashing to thnt individual ,
who then mounted his wagon aud drove
away , swearing vengeance on his assailant.
A largo crowd was attracted by the affair ,
who cheered Mr. Stewart on and threatened
to help him do up the dog catcher , but Mr.
Stewart didn't need nny assistance.

NEW YOUK , Juno 10. According to a letter
received yesterday by a gentleman In this
city from o friend In I'ort-au-1'rlnco , the In
telligent residents of thnt distressed town
bcllovo that President HIppolyto li for bo-
llovcd that ho was ) Insane. Ills disposition
to massacre his cuomlos Is not regarded as an
Indication of madness. It wan his queer con
duct on Mny 80 , when all the members of the
diplomatic corps nt Port-au-Prlnco called on
him to protest against tli o violation of thn
Moxlcnn consulate as an asylum of refuge by
Hlppolyto's savage sokllors , Four menGen
eral Sfmll , M. Hosjlb , Lo or Cauvln
( formerly Hlppolyto's ' minister of Justice ) ,
nnd his brother , wore dragged from the
Mexican consulate , nnd a refuge had boon
violated , and naked what assurance the con
suls representing the other governments had
thnt tholr sacred offices would bo free from
Invasion of assassins.
HIppolyto became very angry. Ho shook
bis hand at Mr. Tweedy , glared at the other
consuls. Including Frederick Douglass , and
strode to the door.
"Is this the way , " ho oxclalinod , "to talk
to the president of this irrc.it country ? "
With that ho hurried out , slamming the
door behind him. The consuls looked nt ono
another In consternation. Presently from
nn adjoining room came the soothing notes of
n lluto. HIppolyto hud resorted to muslo to
calm his norvcs. The consul * listened for a
moment m.d then ono of them said : "I think
wo had better go. "
They were just about going when Mr.
Loachaud , the minister of foreign nITatra , en
tered nnd begged them to stay. Ho apolo
gized for the abrupt dopnrturo'of HIppolyto ,
saying that the president , had had much
trouble and that It had unsettled him. Mr.
Lcachaud said ho would go nnd bring back
the provident , whoso flute was still ringing.
The lluto stopped and In a few minutes
Hippolyto , looking suave nnd apologetic , en
tered the room with Mr. Loachnud , Ho
bowed low and said :
"I bog of you not to go , gentlemen. I
merely wont out to glvo nn order to the com
mandant. "
The French consul bowed as politely us
Hippolyto nnd said the president's apology
was acceptable to the French republic. The
German consul , who is said to have n stand
ing order to do exactly the opposite of what
the French consul does , said the apology of
Hippolyto was satisfactory to him as n per
son , but as the representative of the German
empire ho could not think of accepting the
apology. Ho protested against the rude bo-
hnvlor of the president and would report the
Insult to the emperor of Germany.
Hippolyto got as pale as his complexion
would pormlt. und going over to the Gorman
consul patted him on the back , asking him to
please overlook the occurrence. ' ! assure
" said " " have misunderstood
you , HIppolyto , "you
stood mo. Puss it over this time , nnd it shall
never occur again. The residences of the le
gations shall bo rnspcctcd. No ono who flees
to them shall bo touched. I obtained the
right for my soldiers to enter the Mexican
consulate from President Diaz. I telegraphed
the situation to him and ho nnswerod giving
mo the power to take the four men from the
consulate. "
The letter says Hippolyto had been subject
to violent tits of insanity before ho became
prominent in Hnytinn politics.
Generals Sully-Guorrior nnd Bador , two
of the most oapablo of the revolutionists ,
wore notkillod ns llrst reported. They es
caped and mav bo hoard from loading a force
into Port nu-Princo.
The letter says HIppolyto Is no longer pres
ident of the people , but of only those whoso
prosperity depends upon his reign for ho is
practically a Ulnc now. The people of the
north are anxious to got rid of him.

OMAHA , Juno 19. To the Editor of Tim
HUB : In the very intorostlm ? rovlow of THE
Bun's history In this morning's Issue I was
rather surprised to see ono of my old business
cards in the reprint of the llrst copy of the
llttlo BEK of twenty years ago ; but I was
still moro surprised to find among the per
sonal notices that "Ho" the undersigned
"dwells hero no longer nnd no traces remain
of his abode. " Now this places mo in a
rather perplexing situation , and as I am
pretty sure that I am not yet in heaven , and
holding the same vlows ns Bob Ingorsoll m
regard to "hell , " I hardly think thnt I can bo
thoio , cither. Still , this last emergency , ac
cording to Mndnmo Uhwatsky's thooaophy ,
mav bo a possibility. But being so unfortu
nate as not oven to comprehend this
sublime philosophy of our modern Hin
does , I began to look around In
sober earnestness , but could not coino to any
other result thnn that my ronl "abode" was
right here -Omaha , Douglas county , Nob. ,
and that I had , like most other mortals ,
dwelt and had my abode acre over since

Still It was comforting to know thnt my

Thomas Murray , tbQ millionaire owner ot

ono of the ordinary kind , but ono that
bristles all over with sensations.
The petition In the case It tucked away In
the archives of the ofllco of the clerk of the
district court.
It shows thnt Amanda Oarllch U the plain
tiff nnd that to heal her Injured reputation
nothing less than too.sum of & 000 will bo
required. Under oath slio states that she Is
a married woman , twenty-throo yors of ago ,
the mother of ono cblldtand Is lair to look
upon.
Both she nnd her husband are poor and nro
compelled to toil from sun to sun to enable
them to accumulate enough to keep the wolf
from the door.
Early last December Mrs. Garllck loft her
homo and husband In Iowa , nnd with her
babe , a leather-lunged youngster about ono
year old , came to Omaha to find honest em
ployment.
Shortly after her nrrlvnl she wont out to
hunt a cheap IIDIHO to rent. As she strolled
up and down the streets she discovered tbo
Murray shanties nnd made application for
ono of them. Murrav would rent , but ac
cording to the facts sot out In the peti
tion ho had another scheme. Ho wanted n
housekeeper , n motherly woman , ono who
could cook his meals , dust the furniture and
give the Interior of tlio house a presentable
appearance , Mrs. Oarllck was not averse to
accepting such a position aim a bargain was
struck. She was to bo paid ? .J per week , bo-
sldos board and lodgings for herself and
child.
All wont well for a whllo , but the night before
fore Christmas a change took nlaco by
which Mrs. Oarlick ceased to draw her
salary. She had retired , and at midnight ,
when she was dreaming of the sweat days of
her girlhood when good old Saint Nick used
\ fslldo down the chimney nnd
1111 her stockings with rosy cheeked
apples and sugar plums , she awoke
to the rcallratton that there was a man a
real llvo man In the room. Women llko she
lot out an unearthly scream , pulled the
blankets ever her head ami concluded to lot
the burglars tnko away what they wanted.
It was not a burglar however , or at least
that is what Airs , Uarllcic avers in her
petition. Ho'was finally driven away by her
screams.
She immediately loft Murray's house and
went out Into the cold Christmas morning to
find employment In a more congenial atmos
phere.
ConccrnlnR Advertising Frauds.
OMAHA , Neb. , Juno 18. To tbo Editor of
THE BKK : I have Just road In your morning
napor a very funny description of J. Clarke
Russell , the alleged agent of Harper Brothers ,
and o.s our natuo happens to bo connected
with his list , I wrlto to say that so far as 1
know ho did not even call upon us , and I
do not wonder at that , for wo give such ad
vertising humbuus cut very little encourage
ment.
ment.Within
Within the last six months wo hnvo had
two different attempts made to defraud us ,
but in each cnso tlio attempt was made by n
man whoso log had been amputated , and the
plan consisted in having n certificate from a
country physician , and then a list
of suDscrlbors including many of
the moro prominent names In our
city. It is needless to say that both the
name of the physician nnd the list of mer
chants were forgeries ; but when ono is im
posed upon in this way in tlio name of oharl-
ty , ho Is to bo somewhat excused , as it Is a
compliment to his botto.r nature. I confess ,
however , that I have but llttlo sympathy for
uny of our business mon Who may bo imposed
upon by a scheme to boom our city nt the tail
end of some magazine , for the very scheme ,
even when genuine , Is at best but a very
direct species of fraud ; and when nny sen
sible man reads an account of some mushroom
town nt tbo beginning or end of his maga
zine , ho is apt to suspeot that the Doom is all
that there Is of the town. I sincerely hope
that Omaha , resting as It does on a substan
tial basis , will carefully avoid any such
foolishness. "
1 nm led to write because the merchants
have recently had a circular sent to thorn ,
purporting to como from the Review , and of
fering to boom our city , nt nn early day , pro
vided they receive certain liberal patronage
In the way of now subscribers. Who knows
but what this Is also n fraud. I was recently
asked to attend a meeting of the board of
trade to consider this matter and to encour
age the scheme , and I wrote that I could not
attend , nnd that , furthormoio , I was
opposed to our sanctioning what
to mo scorned like foolishness.
I see , however , that the agent
of the Review is canvassing our city and
bearing a letter from the board of trade , and
I cnnnot but think that it is small business
for n Rovlow which stands as high as the
ono in question to lend Itself to such "puff-
Ing , " and I cannot but think thnt oven If
genuine , suoh a notice will do our city an inJury -
Jury rather thnn a benefit.
Ai to the common habit of writing long
personal notices and publishing portraits of
prominent people , I have always thought that
it was time enough to write a man's bi
ography when ho was dead ,

Union Musicians Protest.
At a mooting of the park commissioners
yesterday afternoon n committee from the
Central Labor union presented a protest
against the employment of Green's Seventh
ward band and the Walnut Hill band to play
nt Hanscom park on the ground that these
two organizations did not belong to the labor
union. Green's band and the Walnut Hill
band had been engaged by Mr. Liningor to
furnish the next two concerts nt Hanscom
park.
The board could take no definite action upon
the matter as Mr. Llnlnger was not present
nnd the ether members preferred to wait
until ho could bo consulted with regard to
the contract made with the two bands in
question. The matter will bo disposed of nt
the next mooting of the board. In case the
two bands In question nro shut out it will
probably glvo the Musical union the contract
for the summer , as the members of that or
ganization are members of the labor union.
DUN'S ' REVIEW OF THE WEEK ,
Volume of Business Not aa Largo as in
Other Years at This Time.
WAITING TENDENCY IN MANY BRANCHES ,
Soiuo ItcNltntloit OwltiK to Hcocut
Failures Conditions of Trade at
Various Centers Increased
Failures Over Ijnst Wcolc.
NEW Yontc , Juno IP , It. O. Dun&Co-'s '
Weakly Hovlow of Trade will say :
Whllo crop reports continue remarkably
favorable , the volume of business nt present
transacted Is not as largo nt It has boon in
other years at this time. This Is In part because -
cause exceptionally hot weather nt many
points has induced something lllto miJ.ium-
mor dullness , but the moro Important cause
undoubtedly Is thnt trade In many branches
has been waiting for certainty of improve
ment and dnllnlto ardors before undertaking
now risks , Thcro Is also some hesitation
owing to recent failures , particularly In
Philadelphia. Credits hnvo boon moro cau
tiously given In the woolen nnd the boot and
shoo trades and this has lessened the volume
of transactions , hence It Is encouraging to
Und that there Is actual improvement in the
demand for consumption in several of the
more important trades nnd that manufactur
ers already begin to fool the effects.
At Boston moro disposition to buy is no
ticed In the leather trade nnd steady orders
for boots and shoes , though small , give en
couragement.
At Philadelphia the wool trade Is waiting ,
holders asking moro than buyers wish to
give , but the leather trade Is healthy with
bettor prospects. In building much depres
sion results from rccont failures.
Pltuburg notes bolter demand for manu
factured iron aud Cleveland moro demand
for pig.
At Cincinnati trade is picking up nnd nt
Detroit increased In some lines , wool moving
nt U or a cents lower nricos thnn a year ago.
Chicago notes wool receipts double last
year's and nn Increase of one-half in wheat
nnd dressed hoof and n moderate increase In
hides , but decrease in flour , corn ana Inrd.
Sales of dry goods and shoes continue to ex
ceed last yearns.
St. Louis notes some change by frequent
rains , und whllo the lumber , building , hard
ware , paint nnd oil trades are especially
active , the general nggrogato is rather loss
than n year ago , though of fair volumo.
It is important that all northwestern nnd
southwestern reports mention ruin and
brik'liter crop prospects.
Crop prospects strengthen confidence at
Kansas City nnd business Is improved nt
Louisville , decidedly nt Montgomery and
slightly at Now Orleans. Trade is small at
Memphis , quiet at Llttlo Rock , dull nt Nash
ville , bettor than usual for the season nt
Atlanta and much bettor than last year at
Jacksonville.
Reports from all quarters Indicate llttlo
complaint as to collections. Regarding money
they show almost everywhere nn ample sup
ply for legitimate nnd safe business , but it
is frequently mentioned that there Is no sup
ply for speculation , and nt St. Louis
the market Is stifl'or at 7 and 8 per cent , at
Kansas City llrm at 8 to 10 , and Detroit
strong nt 7 , rather stringent at Cleveland ,
tight at Llttlo Hock and Atlanta , close at
Nashville , aud In good demand at llrm rates
at Now Orleans.
From other points reports indicate com
parative caso. It Is a hopeful sign that the
demand for manufactured iron and stool Im
proves. For structural iron there is a rush
of ardors , though bar iron is only fairly ac
tive , but plates are in good demand. The
stagnation produced in rails by the combina
tion to hold up prices is shown by the ofllclal
report that the sales to Juno this' year were
but 725,370 tons , against 1,080,000" same
date last year , aud deliveries but UU7,000
tons , against ,198,000 last year.
Tlio wool market at New York shows Im
provement nnd n larger demand by manufac
turers. In woolen goods thcro Is a largo volume
umo of business and the orders show thnt n
distinct gain In the consuming demand Is
felt. The orders for foreign goods are said
to bo r > 0 per cent loss than a year ago , but
the domestic trade gains.
In hides largo receipts at the west have
broken the combination to lift prices , nnd buffs ,
after rising from 5J ( to 7 cents in March ,
boll at 5 % cents again. Coal Is very dull , copper
and lead unchanged , aud tin a shade lower.
Speculation In broadstufTs has bcon moro ac
tive and wheat is about 1 cent higher in spite
of the prospect that the yield will bo the larg
est over known. Corn is weak nnd lower and
oats 4'4 cents lower. Cotton has fallen IMti nnd
the price is the lowest since 1SS4 , receipts
continuing heavy. Cofleo Is > cent lower and
oil 1)4 cents lower , but pork products are a
shade stronger.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the past seven days
number 253 , as compared with a total of 244
last week. For tlio corresponding wool : of
last year the figures wore 101) ) .
