Montreal, Special-Judge LaFon taine, extradition commissioner, gave judgment in the case of the "United States vs. John F. Gaynor and Benja min* D. Greene, committing both for extradition and ordering them back to jail to await surrender to United States officers. In rendering judgment, Judge LaFontaine spoke for two hours and a half. Summing up, he said: "My conclusion is that the allegation of the conspiracy to defraud the United States as being in existence between Carter and the accused on or about July 1st, 1897, is proven to the hilt. "Second, that Carter was guilty in the United States and convicted of em bezzlement, which offence is known under our laws hy the term of theft, the difference in the name of the of fense in the two countries being im material; that the accused have partic ipated by their conspiracy with Car ter in the embezzlement so committed by him; that such participation is pun ishable by the' laws of both, countries and is an extraditable crime. Conse quently, I determine that th3 accused 'must be committed -to jail pending gurrender.'7 May Be Further Delay. Washington, Special.-The Associat ed Press dispatch from Montreal, stat ing that Judge LaFontaine had render ed his decision committing Greene and Gaynor for surrender to the United States-; authorities was shown to the Attorney General. When questioned as to.what further rights of appeal Greene and Gaynor had, it was stated at the Department of Justice that the prison ers would have fifteen days from the date of Judge LaFontaine's decision in which to apply for a writ of habeas corpus. This proceeding, if taken, would come before another judge, who will have the power to discharge the pris oners or to re-commit them for surren der, in which case they will be surren dered within two months from the date of such recommittal. Peace Offer Well Received. St. Petersburg, By Cable.-Beyond the statement that the advisability of confiding the opening of peace negoti ations to President Roosevelt in the event that Emperor Nicholas shall have decided that the time had ar rived to indicate to Japan Russia's desire to end the struggle, was pre sented in a favorable light, no definite announcement can be made at this hour regarding the result of Foreign Minister Lamsdorff's audience with the Emperor on the subject of Count Cassini's dispatch communicating the President's practical tender of good offices. It can, however, be stated in addition that Grand Duke Alexander Michaelovitch, who, was the most un compromising advocate of war to the last ditch, has joined Grand Duke Vladimir, uncle of the Emperor, In counselling the conclusion of peace. Another important convert made by the advocates of peace is Admiral Alexieft. With Grand Duke Alexander Michaelovitch, Grand Duke Vladimir and Admiral Alexieft on the side of peace the backbone of what has been demoninated as the war party seems to havft been broken. Nevertheless, the final word rests with the Emperor himself. Washington, Special.-Pending the decision of the Czar regarding war or peace in the FarEast, the President and the European "ambassadors with whom he is daily conferring have agreed that silence regarding their ac tivities is- necessary,; and word to this effect has been passed along, lest Rus sia take offense and go contratry to what the neutral powers believe to be for her own advantage.

The first of the week ending Mon day, June 5th, was warm, the middle portion cool, and the close had normal temperature. There was widespread complaint that cool nights were un favorable on cotton. There was more than the Ubual amount of sunshine over the western and central parts and less than usual over the eastern parts. TheTe were local high, damag ing winds in the northeastern coun ties on the 30th and 31st, accompany ing thunderstorms. A large portions of the State had ?o rain during the week, but there were heavy rains in the east central, eastern and southern counties on the 30th and 31st, further delaying farm work and increasing the foulness of" corn and cotton. Farm work made rapid progress ov er the larger portion of the State, but cultivation is difficult owing to the rank growth of grass and weeds and the rapid drying of the soil which ren ders it baken and crusted. The weath er was generally favorable for growth of crops, and there is a marked im provement noted where they have been cultivated, but the general condi tion of all field crops is still poor. There is u marked improvement in cotton which looks well where work ed, especially on clay soils, but is still poor, yellow and small on sandy and gray soils, with less complaint of plants dying than last week. Lice are prevalent in the central and east? ern counties. There yet remains a small portion of the crop to chop to stands. Favorable progress was made in cleaning fields of grass and weeds, but much remains foul, and some will be abandoned owing to the rank growth of grass and the scarcity of laborers. First squares have been noted in many parts of the State. The conditions of corn ls variable, ranging from good to very poor, and . much of the crop is suffering for want of cultivation. In many places it is yellow and undersized. Where proper ly cultivated it is fine. Bottom lands were prepared and planted during the week. Worms continue destructive in the southern counties. Rice looks fairly well. A large acreage of June rice will be planted in the Georgetown district. Melons are late. Wheat is being harvested and the yields are poor, owing to rust and too much rain. Oats are ripe and being gener ally, harvested, with yields ranging from excellent to poor. Spring oats continue promising. Peaches are be ing shipped; the quality is good, but the fruit is small. In places peaches are rotting badly. Gardens are doing well but need rain in the west. Pas tures good. Minor crops generally "promising.-J. W. Bauer, Section Di rector. W. F. Klumpp & Co.'s Cotton Crop Letter. The following cotton crop letter is furnished by Messrs. W. F. Klumpp & Co.: The weather conditions the past fortnight have continued unfavorable, and private advices with few excep tions report the crop to be very back ward, compared with last season, far mers being unable to work the fields on account of the protracted rains. In the eastern belt, the plant, is making better progress than in the central and western belt, but as a rule over the entire region the crop is doing poorly, especially in Alabama, Mississippi and. Louisiana, where the plant is badly in the grass, and in Texas and Arkansas! where the outlook in many section? is very discouraging, farmers havina been unable to finish planting, an? some fields being abandoned on ac count of wet weather. The crop is about two weeks later than usual, and considering the reduc; tion in acreage, of about 15., as- per our crop letter of the thirteenth ult., the weather conditions of the next thirty days are of greatest importance; J as they will throw more light on theJ chances for a crop in keeping witw consumption. ^ ?

Chintzes and flowered linen taf fetas make better coverings, and they have the advantage of toning with the general color scheme of the rooms. Many of the new chintzes are exact reproductions of old English designs. Others are in conventionalized designs to please the taste of those who do not admire flowered surfaces. Proper Way to Iron Fine Linen. The doing up of fine undorlinen is far more important in these days than ironing a shirt, and a good living awaits the woman who cares to learn this art and practice it in the cities. When these articles are washed and dried, the ruffles and trimming should be dipped into weak starch, and rolled down tightly, keeping all starched and fine portions, inside. Iron in about an hour. First of all, iron the sleeves, then the ruffles at the bottom, then thc back, and finally all the ruffles and trimming and the front. With skirts, the ruffles first, and then the body part. Any crimping or fluting must be done last of all, after slightly damping the riffles over again. When ironing circular ruffles always iron "with the thread" of the goods and the ruffles will not sag. For white skirts and for dresses a skirt board is a necessity; it should bc about 13 inches wide at the bottom and narrow down toward the tip to about- nine inches, and should be about five or five and one-half feet in length. It is much better to purchase the folding skirt boards, being less expensive that hav ing a carpenter make one. Cover with taJiet fastened Jnto place un Where He Fell Down.

New York, Juno IS-In thc recent agitation hero about the price of gas, the demand for lover rates was sup ported by the argument that every resi dent is as dependent upon a supply of gas as upon a supply of good water. It has come to pass that the day la borer uses gas as his only fuel for cooking, because of economy, and the rich man uses gas on account of its convenience. Gas for lighting, with modern improvements in burners, is cheaper, better and more satisfactory than any other kind of light. Gas sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet in large cities, and from that to as high as #3.00 in smaller towns. The consumer of gas in the country uses Acetylene (pronounced a-set-a lene), and each user makes his own gas and is independent of Gas and Electric Companies. Acetylene is a more per fect illuminant than the gas solcl by thc big gas companies in the cities, and the co.st to the smallest user is about the equivalent of city gas at 85 cents per thousand. Acetylene is the modern artificial light, the latest addition to the many inventions that have become daily ne cessities. The light from au acetylene flam-; is soft, steady aud brilliant, and in qual ity is only rivaled by tho sun's rays. If water aud a solid material known as Calcium Carbide are brought into con tact, the immediate result is the mak ing of this wonderful gas. The genera tion of acetylene is so simple that ex perience or even apparatus is not neces sary to make it. If lt is desired to make it for practical lighting, and to keep it for immediate use, then a small machine called an "Acetylene Genera tor*' is employed. There are many re sponsible coucerns making acetylene generators. In practice this gas. is dis tributed in small pipes throughout buildings, grounds or entire cities and towus in the same manner as ordinary city gas. Acetylene Is the only satis factory means of lighting Isolated buildings located in the country or suburbs at a distance from city gas or electric plants._ Then Brutus Fled.

This was the first occasion when that historic expression was em ployed by any one, according to Livy, though common nowadays. MILK CRUST ON BABY Lost Ali HI?

It is a fine growth of wheat almost ready to come out into head. The stocks are nearly two feet long and the blades broad and healthy looking. It was at first thought that thin growth consisted of shoots from the tree, but on closer examination it vas found to be wheat. It has no foundation pf earth, or if there is any it is so hidden by the growth as to be invisible. The wheat grains in some way found lodgment in the crevices of the bark and have probably had no other earthy bed than that formed by dust which during the dust storms of the summer was blown there.-Ari zona Republican.

At the biennial convention of the Order of Raliway Conductors, recently held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions were unanimously adopted voicing their sentiments as to the effect of pro posed railway rate legislation on the 1,300,000 railroad employes, whom they in part represented. These resolutions '"Indorse the attitude of President Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates and other illegalities, and commend i ?ie , attitude of the heads of American rail ways, who, with practical unanimity, have joined with the President on this question." They then respectfully point out to Congress the "inadvisabil ity of legislation vesting in the hands of a commission power over railway rates, now lower by far iu the United States than In any other country," be cause such regulation would "result in litigation and confusion and inevitably lend to an enforced reduction in rates, irrespective of the question of the abil ity of thc railroads to stand the reduc tion, especially in view of the increased cost of their supplies and materials." They further protested against such power being given to the present Inter state Commission because "thp pro posed legislation is not in harmony willi our idea of American juris prudence, inasmuch as it contemplates, that a single body shall have the right lo investigate, indict, try, condemn and then enforce its decisions at thc cost of the carriers, pending appeal, whicli is manifestly inequitable." The conductors base their demand for only such legislation, if any, as would "secure and insure justice ami equity and preserve equal rights to all parties concerned" on the ground that the low cost of transportation "is the result of the efficiency of American railway management and operation which have built up. the country through constant improvement and de velopment of territory, while at the same time recognition has been given to the value of intelligence among em ployes in contrast to foreign methods, I where high freight rates aud lowest wages to employes obtain." In pressing their claim against legis lation adverse to their interests, they point out the fact that "the freight rates of this country average only two per cent, of the cost of articles to the consumer, thus making the freight rate so insignificant a factor in the selling price that numerous standard articles are sold at the same price in all parts of the country."
