TUe executive ?committee of tho Isth&fan Canal (Join mission has docidcdUto purchase In *he markets of tho world tho material and supplies necessary for tho build lng the Panatua canal. This Important doelolon was reached to** ? with some reluctance, because it was ^ appreciated hy Secretary Tuft and the executlvo committee that, thoro would Barely be a great outcry from two great interests in tills country, the .'producers of material and tho ship ?owners If the purchases were not lim ited to tho American product's. But It wfta decided that the mooot consider ation wa:j so great that It could, nol Fbe ignored, for It was held that In ? some cases fully fifty pqj* cent, nipre 'would be charged for material needed In canal construction thdji the same goods could bo purchased for In Eu rope. Chief Engineer Wallace, for in stance, showed that two ships, in ad dition to those running between Now York ami Colon, and owned by the -Panama Railroad Company, were ab solutely necessary to carry the food .'supplies and material nestled for the nvdrk. No American ships could be bought Bt any reasonable prfce, and when it enme to buying ships, Secre tary Tuft said that while hu could buy two of o,900 tons ships in Europe for $750^.-i)0, It would cost $1,400,000 to bul*j shipn here. As to material needed for canal con struction, the committee decided that lby reserving to itself the right to pur ?v ?chase in the world's markets, it would at least objlgo American manufactur ers to bid against their foreign compet itors if they wish to sell goods to the commission.

PALMETTO CROP CONUII IONS Weather Conditions Given Out by the Department Observer. The week ending Munduy, May J 5th, vfts considerably warmer than usual with the dally maximum temperatures ranging from 80 to 96, and the night temperatures from 05 to 75. There was consMerablu cloudlneps, more than usual to the season, and there were damaging high winds locally In the northwestern and northeastern coun ties. With the exception of the southwest ern counties vhore the precipitation was generally light and where cultiva tion made rapid and favorable pro gresB, the week was very wet ^from Anderson county In the west along the North Curolina border to Marlboro, as well as over tho. eastern portion^ gen erally, ao that farmwork was further delayed and plowing or cultivating Im practicable except on one or two days. Lands were badly washed and bottoms overflowed la tho northern and east central counties. Tho weather conditions were favor ably for generation and growth, but all lleld crops arc in need of culti vation and artj foul with grass and weeds. Some replanting has been done on account of the grass. Stands of both corn and cotton are uniformly g:ood, and the same applies to all crops except to rice in the Georgetown dis trict. Early corn is growing nicely, and It) many places has received Its first working, but cut and bud worms are still damaging. It has been generally too wet to plant bottom lands to corn. Cotton planting continues over the western counties where this work has been greatly delayod by the recent raius. Chopping Is iu progress In all sections and somo fluids have been cultivated. Fields are generally foul, and In places stands are dying. Wheat Improved In places though It Is still rusting and being damaged by the fly ?n others. Oats are generally promising, with exceptions in -the northwest where fall oats were winter killed; spring oats are doing well. Early oats are ripening, and some have been cut in Georgetown. Fruit is all killed in the northwest, but. in other sections a fair crop i^ promised, thoughrjpeaehes are dropping in places. Tobacco Is doing well. Min or crops and gardens, truck and pas tures made rapid growth. ? ,J. W, Bauer, Section Director. General Cotton Letter. . Cotton Crop Letter furnished by W. F. Klupp & Co.: The weather conditions since some-' time have been quite unfavorable for the Crop, on account of heavy rains having retarded farm work, in nearly all sections of the Cotton Belt. In North Texas, Tennessee, Arkan sas, Mississippi and Louisiana, the acreage will be much more reduced than at first contemplated, on account of unsatisfactory woather for pfanting I. cotton, and scarcity of labor, and we believe oy^r the whole the average re duction will be about 15 per cent, and. crop In all sections from two to four weeks late. The market has been effected favQr ftble recently, on> account /of continued unsatisfactory reports about the crop and scarcity of offerings of medium and better grades, and prices will continue Very susceptlbale to weather N condi tions for some time to come. ?

KiofY, Tomsk, and other cities say the work men observed the day as a holiday; that the shops were closed* and that *i 1 1 i?* t was not disturbed. In St. Petersburg the day pasted In almost perfect quiet, and happily with out a drop of blood being shod. The Revolutionaries found It Impossible to execute llio program of demonstrations and bomb-throwiuK which they had so widely advertised, the worklngiijou de clining to saoritlfe themselves to ad va ri^e the propaganda of their self-con stlt^lcd leaders, and the advertised meetings were attended chiefly by spec tat opr. ' Coven/or (.oiiera^ Trepoff handled tlie situation flrnibr, but with n view to avoiding collisions. Squads of Cos sacks patrolled the streets, reserves be in. u: held out of si^lR in courtyards, and the (Juard Regiments were re tained under arms In their bnracks. A newspaper correspondent, who rodo lb ton vch all sections of the city and suburbs, found the streets perhaps b\?s thronged than usual. More or less tension and agitation were ap parent In the industrial quarters I among workmen promenading under the eyes of Cossacks with whips In their builds, but otherwise the city I wore almost a normal appearance. The weather, Svhloh was cold a 'lid raw, per haps acted as a deterrent to would-be demonstrators, as Russians dislike physical discomfort. At the Proobrajeusky Cemetery, where the principal meetings of honor of tlie "January martyrs,'' as the vic tims of the "Red Sunday" are Inrly called, had been advertised, tliero W!is a scanty crowd, composed largely of the curious. Cossacks dispersed the crowd, the more aggressive members of- which sang the "Marseillaise'' as they were crossing the fields. This defiance *ns met, by a charge ofTos sacks, who used flielr whips freely, In flicting many nasty injuries. There *as a similar incident on Va? sill. Island, where a dozen students, inaliily-Nglrls, sang tho ^'Marseillaise" and gathered va Cossacks can kered up ami dispersed tlie crowd'with whips, seeming to take special pleasure lit slashing the girl studttits with their whips, but the girls were ^apparently anxious to pose as martyrs, and delib erately provoked attack by singing revolutionary song*. * ? The afTnlr gave rise to rumors that a number of persons had been killed, but In the Incident, which happened under* the eyt*s of a correspondent, sabres wereVot even drawn, and nobody was seriously hurt. * The day wound up with a tumult In one of * ho people's parks, where, while merrymakers wore dancing Russian national dances. agitators scattered proclamations nmonx the crowd nnd drov? a scanty guard of police into a shallow artificial lake. Cossacks came up at a gallop wielding their whips, rescued the police, anil made numerous arrests. It was noticeable that the Cossacks rode widely apart, evidently to minimize the effect of bombs should ?they be thrown. The (Jovernor CJeneral attributes the lack of trouble largely to wholesale arrests of incendiary leaders. The pfestlge of the Hocinl Democrats nnd Revolutionists has suffered greatly by the day's failure, though they were trying that night to retrieve it by Issuing a manifesto attributing their inability to carry out the pro gram to the overwhelming force of military nnd proclaiming o general strike. The leaders were so confident of success in advance of the event that they prepared a number of In formal hospitals or bandaging stations^ in the ncighbovhQod of the various vertlsfd meeting places In order to ren der first old to the victims of the ex pected rioting. Part of t lie onus of their failure rests upon Father Capon, who sent n message from abroad to the leaders of his old organization Bay ing. "I)o nothing until I return." - The police prevented a meeting of resident clergy who desired to pnss resolutions of sympathy with the Met ropolitan Antonlus, who hat been tra i1*frfre?i to the Caucasus on account of hir ngWUton In favor of a revival of the Patriarchate. When represents ti vps of the clergy asked an officer It* thry mlgh^Tjohl a meeting In -a church he replied in the negative, sating that Ms orders Were not to permit a meet ing anywhere.
