At first Townshend's report was termed the minority report , and had not moro than ono adherent with himself out of the whole committee , but time nnd reflection brought recruits until at the present moment the issue is de layed by the custodians of the report in favor of the railway company for fear that upon the final test Towns- hond'o report in favor of the public would receive the sanction of the ma jority. The area of laud involved is greater than that of the united king dom of Great Britain and Ireland. THE OENEVA COMMISSION. The cabinet meeting to-day waa short and unimportant.

Not n , Very Fln-ttortiiff Prospect , OmrAcio , Juno 20 A prominent commission linn have reports from 1,400 correspondents. They say : "When our correspondenta in many sections of the great corn producing bolt of thn country , informs us this late date that corn is not nil yet plnnt- od , that much will have to bo replant ed , and with few exceptions report the crop in a very backward condition , wo confess it causea a good deal of ap prehension for the outlook of the greatest nnd moat important of our cereals. Many localities report a good stand , nnd wo nro pleased to note very general expressions ol hopefulness on the part of our cot respon dents that , with a Into nnd favorable season from now on , crops may yet como out all right. But , coupled with their statements of the present unfavorable condition of crops at largo , wo take it the "wish is father to the thought" rather than their hopes are based on actual belief that the corn belt will produce oven an average crop. The cause of the back ward condition is generally nttributod to cold weather. Tins has been gen erally succeeded by warm nnd grow ing weather , which begets now hope fulness. The outlook in Kansas is „ decidedly the most favorable of any of the loading corn growing states. The outcome nt largo can only bo de termined against it in the start. In pleasing contrast with corn are HUII.LIANT I'UOSl'KCTS now reported for perhaps much tlio largest crop of oats ever reaped in this country. The acreage is largely in- croaacd , and scarcely without excep tion our roporta are of the most prom ising nature. The hay or grass crop is now generally reported doing well , but a careful study of the field at large indicates very considerably shortage. Great damage was done meadows by thu unprecedented drought last year , and many sections report clover par ticularly badly winter killed. In ad dition to this quite eorioua damngo in portions of Indiana , Missouri and Il linois , from dreary , warm and cold wet weather also caused alow growth. Another largo shortage iu corn and grass crop ? this ycur would provo nl- most a commercial calamity nnd WA ) hopu may not bo experienced. SPORTING. National Aawclited Press.
