WASHINGTON. July IS Tho State de
partment Is In receipt of Interesting re
ports concerning the wheat crops of Rus
sia and India. According to a report from
Consul General Holloway at St. Peters
burg there are good reasons to hope that
the wheat harvest of 1001 will exceed
that of 1900. The spring wheat Is more
promising than tho winter crop, tho latter
having suffered heavily from various
causes. However, It Is stated that the
loss In the winter crop will bo Inlnnccd
by the amount of spring wheat sown.
Consul General Patterson at Calcutta
states that the wheat yield for India, ah a
whole. Is estimated nt S.SSO.Oflfl tons, SH
per cent more than tho decennial average,
nnd this under adverse eruditions, sueh as
cold weather, hall, Insects and rust. The
export of wheat from Indi-i this year, thu
consul general says, probably will be
grrntly lucroosod.
Consul Fee at Bombay estimates India's
harvest for this year st 6.690 000 tons, or
1.7RO.00O tons more thnn last year. Tho
estimated area of growing wheat for the
year Is 22,000.000 acres, being about 5,000,
000 acres moro thnn tho previous year.

Moines, but failed to reach tho center of
tho city. Rain Is reported northeast of
Des Moines, following along the line of tho
Great Western all tho way from Waterloo,
passing through Marshalltown, and reach
ing Into this county. This Is a section of
the state that was suffering less than ln
the Houth nnd the rain, If followed by oth
ers, will save the corn crop. Rain Is re

Rapids, Iowa City and other stations In tho
eastern part of tho state.

yesterday and last night, but tho weather
people believe the storm Is moving west
ward and that tho wholo state will In a few-
days have some water. With a reasonably
good rain nt this time covering tho Btato
generally there will be a revival of vegeta
tion and a great Improvement In crop con
ditions.
The farmers in this section are greatly
encouraged. Their small fruit and vegota-
i bles are gonb and tho dairy business Ib
suffering because the grass has all dried
up, but tho corn crop Is standing up well
and thero Is hope for some good hay and
much fodder.

KANSAS CITY, July IS. Further good
rains following those of yesterday tell
nttcr midnight and during today In many
points lu the southwest. Still more Is
predicted for tonight. The area covered
was principally In southwestern Missouri,
central and southern Knnsas und ln the
central part of the Indian Territory and
Oklahoma country. Tho heaviest fall was
In Sodfrwick county, In which Wichita Is
situated, nnd where nearly two Inches and
half of water fell. The rains have In
creased tho prospects of half a crop ot
corn and go further toward making good
pasturagts a ccrtulnty. However, little
rain Is reported ln northern and western
Kansas and some points are still suffering
drouth that extends back tour to eight
week?.
The rain In tho territory began this
afternoon, covering n largo area ln the
vicinity of El Reno, Okl., nnd brought to
an end the drouth that has parched that
country for more than a month. El Reno
Is crowded with thousands ot homcscokcrs
registering for tho Kiowa-Comanche open
ing and the rain coming upon them sud
denly caught many at tho registration
books unawares, wetting their papers and
overturning a number of their canvas shel
ters. The people were too grateful to
complain and Instead rejoiced at the down
pour. Tho averago temperature In the south
west today was considerably lower than
that In two weeks. In Kansas City the
highest reached was 97.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo July IS. Good rains
fell ln some sections of northern Missouri
this afternoon. In tho vicinity of St. Joseph
tho rainfall was not as heavy as In other
ports of tho country, but tho fall was suf
ficient to lay tho dust and do some good to
vegetables.
SALT LAKE CITY. July IS. The weather
bureau's thermometer registered 101 degrees
this afternoon. This Is within one degree
of tho highest recorded tor twcnty-flvo
years.

TOFEICA, Kan., July IS. Moro rain fell
In southwestern Kansas today and the In
dlcatlons are favorable tonight for rain ln
tho eastern portion of the state, which
as yet has not been relieved. In discussing
tho situation Governor Stanley says;
"Tho present drouth throughout the west
has bcun very Injurious and ln Kansas
worked a practical destruction of tho corn
There are certain portions of tho state
wnero corn is in fair condition nml witn
seasonable rains Kansas might produce
60,000,000 bushols, but the latter part of
July and the month of August Is always
a trying porlod for the corn and very little
hopo may now bp entertained for this crop.
It may as well be considered a substantial
failure.
"But with the com crop wholly elim
inated, tho stato ts In better shape this
year than In many past years, and whllo
the comparison affords no particular cause
for encouragement, It affords no ground
for discouragement. Tno value of our
wheat this year will be equal to or greater
than that of last year, which, ln round
numbers was $42,000,000. Our live stock
products will bo at least $60,000,000, alfalfa
nnd other forage crops $5,000,000, hay nnd
grosses $2,000,000. This makes a total of
$100,000,000 for farm products, not counting
corn, oats, potatoes, fruit and other things,
of which considerable quantities will be pro
duced."

recorded at other points.
Tho torrid sun caused tho asphalt to

been reckoned, but those and attempts at
suicide as n result of tho heat are described
as numerous.
Soldiers on duty ln ordinary clothing
suffered dreadfully, two dropping dead In
consequence. The war ofllco Is relaxing
regulations in some factories, substituting

From I'rracnt Apiienriince It Will Sot
He Aireeteil hy the Strike, it
i:iiiiIoyc Are Well int
uited. PITTSBURG, Pa July IS. Most lnipor-
tant of all news regarding tho steol work
ers strike that reached Pittsburg today
was tho action of the men emploed In the
Duncnnsvllle plant of tho American Steol
Hoop company. A telegram wns receive!
by President Shaffer from the men ln tho
morning usklng If they should strike. Tho
mcssagu was a surprise for tho Amalga
mated people, as they wero nut looking for
this news so soon. President Shaffer an
swered, telling the men not to come out
unless they were organized. It organized,
they should strike, for they were needed.
In thu afternoon a telegram was re
ceived from Duncunsvlllo nsklug that an
organizer bo sent to them nt once, tu com
pliance with this request Vice President
Johu Pierce started for Duncansvllle this
evening to complete tho organization. Tho
Duncansvllle plant Is tho last of the hoop
plants to remain at work nnd tho Amalga
mated association officials say If they aro
successful In closing this plant they will
be masters of the situation as far ns tho
steel hoop company Is concerned at least.
Tho action ot the Ohio board ot arbi
tration ln offering to bring about n settle
ment of the strike created some talk today
In steel circles. M. M. Garland, former
president of tho Amalgamated association
and at present collector of the port, snld
that he did not consider the action of tho
Ohio board as unusual, but rather tho
carrying out ot Its duties as such a
board. It Is the duty of that board to
offer Its services whenever labor troublo
starts that nffects the Industries of that
state. In view of this fact Mr. Garland
could not sco whero tho troubles wero moro
liable to settlement now than before. "I
cannot sco what thero Is In this question
to arbitrate," ho said. "Tho question can
not be settled except by tho complete .back
down of ono side or tho other on a matter
of principle"
One Cnnne of Uncunlueii.
Tho situation throughout this district re
mains practically as announced earlier In
tho day. In the immediate vicinity ot
Pittsburg tho evident Intention of tho com
pany to attempt tho reopening of the
Dowecs-Wood plaut at McKcesport Is the
only Incident so far calculated to causo
uneasiness. Tho notices posted today wero
placed with probablo expectation of se
curing tho early return to town of many
of tho workers who have gone on fishing
and other vacation trips. The men claim
to bo confident that enough men cannot
be secured to operate the mill nnd say
no opposition will bo made to any who
may wish to go In. Tho police authorities,
though, going on tho prlnclplo that In tlra
of peaco It is well to prcparo for war, havo
taken every precaution and feol prepared
to cope with any troublo that may arise.
Tho present center of tho trouble scorns
to bo at Wellsvlllo, O., whero a public
mnss meeting was held this aftornoon for
tho purpose of presenting both sides of
the controversy to tho citizens. The entlro
district contributed attendance at thu
meeting nnd a numbor of speeches were
made, the principal ono being that of
President Shaffer of tho Amalgamated as
sociation, Another meeting will bo held to
morrow. Preslilent Shnrrcr'n Speech.
President Shaffer said:
,..,t.,"a.''.. l)oen stated that tho workmen of
ellsvlllo uro on a strike. I do not like
tho term. It seems tho only word, how
over, which will properly express the pres
ent condition of affairs. Many of the older
workmen present who havo worked with
mo In thu rollln; mills know what tho
word strike means. In thoso old days wo
used to close the mills, throw out pickets.
Guard the railway depots and lay In ii
good Hupply of Intoxicating splrltH, thus
priming for mischief and depredations of
any sort. If persons camo to take our po
sitions they wore beaten and sent out of
town. ii do differently now.
People, pf Wellsvlllo, there muBt bo no
drinking here, especially In tho next few
weeks. The eyes of tho entire laboring and
bublncss world are centered on WellhVlIle,
which fieems to be a storm center. You

that would be considered tinberomlnz In a
good citizen. Tho lens drink taken, thu
