The week ly crop report issued from
the Bulled States weather office tells a
distressing' tale of drought throughout
the state. The report says: The fi-st
three days of the- week were cool with
litfht frosts id somo of the upper pen
tnMi'a and the northern counties of
the lower peninsula; the last four days
were very warm. Moderately heavy
showers occurred in portions of the
upir peninsula, but not a drop of ruin
Is reported from any station in the
lower peninsula; generally the weather
has been hot and dry, and this con
diiion was intensified by the nearly
cloudless skies that have prevailed
most of the week. The effect ou corn,
lato potatoes, beans and pastures in
the southern half of the 6tate has been
vory detrimental; In the principal agri
cultural counties of the lower penin
su a corn and beans are drying up and
ripening prematurely. Pastures are
very brown and ltte potatoes are
early at a standstill. Many farmers
have been cutting their corn in order
to save it for fodder, and beans have
ripened prematurely and their haivest
already begun in some counties. Fall
plowing is fairly well advanced in the
central and sou hern counties, but the
parched soil has bi ought much of this
work to a standstill and farmers are
waiting for rain before resuming pre
parations for the seeding of fall wheat
and rye. lluin is therefore very mu-h
needed in near y every county of the
lower peninsula. In tho upper renin
tula the conditions have been generally
fa voi able and crops have made good
progress.

TAX LAW AMENDMENTS.
Hers aro Several of Interest to Property
Owners.
As time for paying state and county
taxes will soon be at hand, the tax
payers of the sta'e will be Interested
in several important amendments made
to the general tax law be the last leg
islature. Section 59, which formerly
provided for interest on delinquent
taxes at the rate of 8 per cent per an
num and the addition of a 4 per cent
collection fee, was amended so as to
make the penalty 1 per cent a month,
the additional collection fee being re
tained. .
Under the previous law there was no
charge for the cost of advertisin?, etc.,
until the lands had been advertised
and made subjct to sale. The adver
tisement was made in April and there
was no charge on the account men
tioned until the land was actually of
fered for sale. An amendment in
creases this expense from 70 cents to
SI per descript on, and makes the
charge a lien upon the land on Oct. 1
next preceding1 the time prescribed for
the sale of the land.
Lands now held for unnaid taxes of
1897 will be sold for taxes, unless the
lat er are booner paid, in May next.
Under the old law the expense of this
sale, which has been increased to 81,
wou d not become a lien until that
date, but the new law makes a lien on
Oct. 1 next.
Another amendment is the restora
tion of the fee payable to county treas
urers for tax certificates to accompany
warranty deeds. This was reduced
from 25 to 15 cents and subsequently
abolished, but the last legislature re
stored it at the latter figure.
rrUoner Leaped to Denth.
Unfori unate Marv Ann Carr, 25 years
of age, dived to death from the lower
deck of the steamer Darius Cole into
the waters of Lake St. Clair on the
27th, while on her way from her home
in Tort Huron, to Detroit, in charge of
Detective Judsou C. Lombard. The
steamer was stopped and small boats
lowered, but all efforts at recovery
were futile, fir the body soon sank out
of sight. Some of the passengers say
they saw it come to the surface b'it
once and then it disappeared. 'J he
yung lady was being rcurned to De
troit to answer to the charge of gand
larceny. The cause of the drowning
was not due to Mary's fear of being
c mvirited or of serving a possible five
years, but s'mnly because she did not
like the idea of the detective bossing
her around.

Twelve steel arches, each weighing
33 tons, which were to have supported

The immense "Traveller," or derrick,

counting their work as practically
completed, when suddenly and with
out the slightest warning the arch last
put in place suddenly fell over against
the one next to it. The weight was
too much for this, it gave way, crashed
against the third, and then, one by

judicial in its nature, and ascertain
who is responsible for the strike and

WAR NOTES,
Naval Constructor Hobson has sub
mitted to the navy department a sup
plemental report to that recently made
on .the condition of the Spanish ships
raised from Manila bay and now being
rebuilt under his supervision at Hong
Kong. These ships are the Isla de
Cuba, Isla de Luz tn and Don Austrias.
He sets forth in detail the condition of
work. He says that they were more
damaged by fire than by shot, and that
most of the rebuilding has been made
necessary by the burned woodwork.
They were 80 per cent completed on
Ju y 1, and Mr. Hobson 6ays they will
be ready to turn over to the navy for
service within six wee'ts after the ar
rival of the batteries and the electrical
plants. These were shipped some
weeks ago, so that there is every pros
pect the vessels will be iu commission
before long.
Gen. Hughes, of Hollo, reports four
soldiers ambushed, killed and muti
lated, a few miles south of the city of
Cebu. .No names a e given. Robber
bands, in Negn s, have been scattered,
and most of the members are returning
to work on suiiar plantations. Armed
Tatralos who had entered that island
were severely punished, and conditions
ore favorable for the formation of a
civil oovernment under military su
pervision, as has been directed. There
is little change in Panay and Cel u is
lands. The withdrawal of volunteers
and regulars, discharged under order
40 last year, has prevented active cam
paigns in those islands, which medi
tated reinforcements will cure.
The war department gave out for
publication an interesting statement
of the financial condition of the island
of Cuba. It shows that under the
management of the United Sta'es gov
ernment t ie receipts o? the island from
Jan. 1, 1SU9, to June 3 ), of the current
year, exeee I the expend tures by the
very handsome sum of SI. 480.021. This
statement probably will be a surprise
to many persons who had thought that
Cuba under the military occupation of
the United States was not self-sustaining.

permission to fisrht the insurgents.
He was given an American ll ig. Gen.
bates has returned to the Suln archi

American garrisons there.
It is not likely that any more cavalry
regiments will be organiz-'d, save the
ore which Gen. Otis form d in the
Philippines. Gen. Otis has cah'e I that
cavalry cannot be used to the best ail
vantage in the islands, and, in bis
ju gmcn'. the two reirim mtsof regular
cavalry and the volm teer regiment
will be sufficient to meet all needs of
the campaign.
