LONG DROUTH MIYIIUURE CROPS WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN SAYS THE PEACH CROP WILL BE LESS THAN HAS BEEN EX PECTED. Rain is badlv needed in the agricultural •actions of this state. The weekly crop bulletin, issues, Tuesday by the Geor gia section of the climate and crop ser vice of the weather bureau, shows that the drought to becoming intense in some of the counties of the state, and. while the crops have not been damaged as yet. If rain does not fall within a short time the crops will be badly injured by the drought. The corn and cotton crops are in fine shape and will be unusually large. Irish potatoes in the state are almost a faLure. The peach crop, according to the weath er bureau. Will not be as good as has con fidently been expected. The shedding of the fruit continues and the crop will be less abundant than has been expected. The following is a copy, of the weekly crop bulletin: There was a general absence of rain throughout the week, except on Saturday, when local showers occurred in scattered localities In a very few sections the . •bowers were copious. The prevailing fair weather has afforded fine opportunity for cultivation of crops, and the latter are in excellent condition in this respect. The cool night temperature and lack of moist ure were detrimental to crop growth, es pecially to cotton. The drought is becom ing intense in many counties, but as yet, its effects, except on gardens and grain crops, are not regarded as serious. Corn and cotton continue to do well, and are considered fine crops. Corn has received second cultivation, and cotton has been worked to a stand in numerous sections. Complaints of damage to cotton by lice are infrequent. Harvesting of wheat and oats Is in progress over the eouthern half of the state, the yields are ln % general short. Rice and sugarcane continue to do well. Irish potatoes are mostly a failure. Shedding of peaches continue*, and by reason of this the outlook for an abun dant crop is less favorable than anticipa ted earlier in the season. Early peaches are being marketed. NORTHERN SECTION.

Ga. THE SEMI-WEEItLY .JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1902. $5,000 GIVEN TO GEORGIA TECH OF THE SIO,OOO NECESSARY TO CLINCH OFFER OF GENER AL EDUCATIONAL BOARD, $5/ 000 IS SECURED. President Lyman Hall of the Georgia School of Technology announced this morning that the first 45,000 of the 310,000 necessary lo secure the additional SIO,OOO offered by the general educational board of New York city had been raised and that he was working hard in an effort to raise the other $5,000 before June l»th. when the offer of the general educational board will expire. Captain Hall this morning sent letters to some of the promlent citizens of Ma con, Columbus, Augusta and Savannah, asking that they raise S6OO in each of those cities. He also wrote to the editors of the papers, asking that they take up public i subscriptions to aid him in securing the necessary 16,000. •‘The other cities of the state should aid in raising this money," said Captain Hall this morning. “The Tech is a state school and there are as many students educated in the school from these cities as there are from Atlanta. By giving money for the school the people are not giving to Atlanta, but to a school whose benefit is felt as much in south Georgia and middle Georgia as it is felt in Atlanta. “I realize that we will have hard work to raise the necessary $5,000 by June 19th, Jhe last day for clinching the offer of the general educational board, but we intend to have the money. We will not have time to make an actiye canvass of the entire state, because the time alowed us is too short, but we want the money’, and we are going to have it. The people of Atlanta have responded liberally, but I want them to keep up the good work. The Tech school is doing great work throughout the state, and the people ought to support IL The need of an elec trical and experimental laboratory has long been experienced at the school, and now that we have fan opportunity to se cure one we do not intend to allow the chance to escape us. “I realize the difficulty of raising the other SS,CCD, because we can hardly ex pect any more donations as large as those of Messrs. Steele, Atkinson and Swann, and must expect to raise the other $5.(00 in donations of SIOO or $250. We have not time to make a canvass of the state, but we will have to rely upon the people of Atlanta to display their usual generos ity toward the school. We need the mon ey and we are going to have it. I shall, as soon as I can get the list complete, fur nish a list to the papers of the contribu tors. in order that the people of Georgia may know what friends of the school have proven their friendship at a time it was much needed.” The general educational board of New York, of which William H. Baldwin. Jr.. Is president, and Dr. Wallace Buttrick is secretary, a few days ago offered SIO,OOO toward the equipment of an experimental and electrical laboratory, provided the other friends of the institution would raise an additional SIO,OOO. James Swann, of New York, and A. B. Steel and H. M. Atkinson, of Atlanta, immediately gave SI,OOO eaph toward the $lO OCO, and other friends of the school have given the other $2,000 whloh has been raised in sums vary ing from SIOO to $250. Captain Hall, presi dent of the school, now asks Columbus. Macon, Augusta and Savannah to raise SSOO each toward the other $5,000. and. as those cities are benefitted by the school as much as any other city in the state. It fs hardly likely that they can refuse to give that small a sum In so far as over ss.uo(i has been raised by Atlanta friends of the school. The Tech Is sorely in need of an experimental and electrical laboratory, and President Hall is dping his utmost to raise the SIO,OOO necessary to secure the additional SIO,OOO offered by the generAl educational board. If this money is raised In time the equipment of the laboratories will be Installed during the coming sum mer vacations, and will be ready for use during the fall term of tne school. The building has already been erected, and Is waiting for the equipment. The friends of the school should certainly give the money and Captain Hall says that, though It !.h going to be a hard task, he does ndt in tend to stop until he gets the money. “We need it and we are going to have It” is what he says, and he means It. * BIG WATER SPOUT STARTLESPENSACOLA CLIPPED OUT TOPS OF TREEfi AND FLOODED THE COUNTRY. DAMAGE, HOWEVER, WAS SLIGHT. PENSACOLA. Fla., June, A water spout one hundred feet in height and in three formations sprang up in the Gulf of Mexico near the Pensacola light house Saturday evening, and for a time it seem ed as though great fatalities would be re corded. When It was first observed It was al most opposite Fort Barrancas and just within the mouth of the harbor. It trav eled eastward passing over the Santa Rosa Island point and came with alarming noise and rapidity directly toward the fort. Be fore it reached the fort, however, its course was swerved and the violence of water was blown whirling over the naval hospital. It did not touch any of the buildings, however, but as it passed over the trees the tops were snipped off as with a pair of monster shears. When nearly directly over the naval hospital site its course was again swerved end it came toward the city of Pensacola, nine miles distant. The whirling elements again wrestled with the water and car ried it out into the bay, where the danger ous and fearsome natural wonder collaps ed of Its own accord. The course of the waterspout was mark ed by a big deluge of water and In some places it was flooded, resembling the sud den rise of a high tide. Old residents of the reservation declared to The Journal representative that they had never before witnessed a “spout” having such a pe culiar formation. It was in three sec tions. each distinct and separate in Itself, but when the land was reached the three would join and make one large one. When it would center over the waters of the bay the trio would separate. This marvellous phenomena was seen by hundreds of per sons, and for the first time. When the waterspout was first observed from shore It seemed as though it reached hundreds of feet in the air. Two fishing schooners were at anchor about 800 yards apart, and the whirling watery mass passed between them. Had either of them been in the path of the thing they would undoubtedly have been swamped. In fact a report to this effect telegraphed here, but the rumor proved unfounded when Investigated bv interested parties. Somebody should turn the light on that .wick ed lamp trust.

NEW YORK, June 4.—The cotton market opened steady with prices one to sixteen points higher. The former being in the June option -only. Following the call there was a period of uncertainty and feverish trading, the room con tingent being far from settled in Its mind, as to whether or *>t the maiket would rally ma terially from the late severe btVak. Then came foreign and southern buying orders which promised moderate demand from both sides here, July stiffened up to 8.72 and August to 8.47, this being 12 to 13 points above the low figures of yesterday. The Liverpool cables were better than expected and report has it that the demand in the south was picking up at the concessions granted by sellers late yesterday. But toward the the first hour the market became late yesterday. But toward the close of the first hour the market became dull and heavy. The crop report as a whole were quite up to the recent bearish in formation and the weather chart gave no sign of unfavorable climate cohditkms active in the belt. ' V At midday the market was quiet but firm with prices net to 8 to 11 points’higher on room covering and light buying for a tnirn. July sold at 8.74 and August at 8.49.

NEW YORK, June 4,-In the local cotton maiket this mo-nbig pijcea started higher for June end 1 to 4 higher for, other months. The main cause for the improvement was found in Llveipcol cables which shewed a steady market and the e fact that she was disin clined to assume aggressive short selling at present j>ut local bulls in good humor. Wheth er the jfaesent level of prices can be maintained under existing crop conditions is an open ques tion. It Is hardly to be expected bulls will ap pear in war paint just now but it Is quite cer tain that a set-back to the crop between pow and September 1 will decidedly help the market which the. best people consider low enough for the present. There Is no little difference of opinion as to the supplies being carried by mills one side claiming big stocks and the other only moderate. Liquidation is regarded by some as far from over but we have reached that point where extreme caution Is advisable In purcuring bear operators. There was sell ing by leading warehouses for southern account and this was offset by Liverpool buying. The port receipts were 4,500 against 6,8)0 last year. Leading flew Orleans bulls were prominent In July dealings in that market. The weather south was fair at all points except slight rain at Memphis. The Texas forecast was of fair weather. Southern Exchange Cotton Letter. NEW YORK, June 4 —Phenomenal support from the bull element was the chief tfactor In sustaining prices this morning. Thi session onenea with Liverpool showing a fractional ad vance over yesterday’s closing figures and on this precedent our market displayed an early tendency to create pronounced animation on the upward movement. The hears noting this soon became eager to liquidate their holdings which were taken on after the government’s report of yesterday. Notwithstanding the ex cellent report sent out by the government, which should. If correct, allow shorts to have their own way, It is nevertheless positively known that traders on the bear side do not piece their convictions entirely upon this report and from now on will no doubt undergo a ner vous strain. We still adhere to the opinion that In the event of any unfavorable crop news we will witness a steady upward move ment that it will take considerable pounding from the opposite side to check. Port receipts were estimated 4,500, against 6,805 last year. Liverpool declined 1-16 on spots with sales of 12,000 bales, of which 11,200 were American. Re ceipts at ports and interiors continue to drop off as the season goes on. Grain and Provisions. CHICAGO, June 4.—Grains started today with a fair reaction from yesterday’s depression. Ca bles, while lower, were not as weak as might be expected. In addition to this, the govern ment crop report was somewhat bullish on rust In the wheat in Kansas, Oklahoma and Mis souri. Receipts were also bullishly light. Jtrty wheat opened a shade to %®*4c higher at 71%@ 71Hc and on heavy buying by elevator Interests sold up 71%@72c. At the advanced prices the buying eased off, trade was only fair and July sold back to a steady position around 71%c. Lo cal receipts were only 7 cars, 3 of contract grade; Minneapolis and Dtiluth reported 148 cars, making a total for the three points of 155/ against 146 lats week and 489 a year ago. Buvlng picked up again in the wheat pit toward the close and July closed flrm, %c up at 71%®72c. July corn opened higher to He lower at 61H®61Hc on lower cables and a bullish crop report. Receipts were smaller than estimated at 195 cars. Country offerings also were light and started a good bullish sentiment. Reports Indicate a need of cultivation of corn In the Missouri valley. Kansas sent word of much water and weeds In corn. July sold up to 62® 6256 con fair support, but the crowd was in clined to the belief that the big bull house was changing to September and that some selling at the advance for July Indicated letting go by holders. July eased tn 614ic and steadied. Shorts covered actively much of the session and prices of corn held well. July sold to 64%c. Oats were firm al the opening. The harvest In Texas is over. Late advices from the fields are not as encouraging for the growing crops as of late. Cash demand was Improved. Re ceipts were not large, at 92 cars. Tne strength of the other grains influenced Ju ly to open He up at 36%c and to sell to 37Hc- Early trade in provisions was almost lifeless. The hog run at the yards was liberal and prices weaker. Support was lacking, and because of the teamsters’ strike there was not much in clination to do anything.

There is very little cash business here but seaboard reports 169 lads with more likely. There was the same sort of July support ear ly which sa been prominent of late. Armour was conspicuous in it. A featute has been buying of December and selling of July, Harris-Gates and Wrenn A Reynolds took September liberally. Ohio report made June condition 75 against 74 in May. The local mood has been to get out of short side on the ground that selling has been overdone. There has been a very irregular market in corn. Pr»pes were up a cent at the best but not holding. The feature has been buying September and selling of July. It is the as sumption that the bull crowd is doing the charging but doing It through other houses. There was early selling of December and May for foreign abcount, but the future turned strong suddenly under good buying. ' Cash oats were very strong again today as they were yesterday and spring sales were probably large. Futures weie some higher, July leading. There was a good commission house trade on the advance. The small stock of ribs only 15,000,000 pounds has kept that product stronger than the balance of the pro vision list. Pork strong, there were 33,000 hogs here with good hogs steady in the afternoon.

Gaynor and Benjamin D.

IN THE SENITE CINIL BILL STMS OP MORGAN BEGINS FIGHT ANEW ON MEASURE WHICH HE HAS CHAMPIONED WITH UNTIft ING ZEAL FOR YEARS. WASHINGTON, June 4 —The fight for a canal connecting the waters of the At lantic and the Pacific looms up in the sen ate now. The Philippine civil govern ment hill has been disposed of and a clear way Is open for the canal bill, which has already passed the lower house. Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama, will champion the canal project. He favors the Nicaragua route. In fact there is no other route available, in his opinion, and those who oppose the Nicaragua route are opponents of canal, project. There is an, element in the senate In favor of the Panama route. This element, under the leadership of Senator Hanna, has been powerful enough In the past to keep down canal legislation, but now Senator Mor gan claims to have them beaten In the matter of votes and he confidently ex pects to see this session authorise the con struction of the Nicaragua canal. Senator Hanna and his crowd favor the Panama route because they know there is an abundance of legal complications connected with that scheme, complications which will prevent the construction of an American waterway across that Isthmus. Os this there is not the slightest doubt. Panama’s most ardent advocates know there can be no work done on that route \ by American hands, and they support that project for no other reason than that it stands in the way of the more avallabto route across Nicaragua. All this will be brought out in the de bate. which Is expected to run for weeks. There will be charges of double dealing and counter charges and an Interesting time of It is assured. The project cannot be said to belong to either party, nor will the vote be a party vote in any sense of the word. In the house of representatives there was almost a unanimous vote in favor of Nic aragua and In the senate there will be a patriotic, rather than a party support, ex cept in the case of those Republican sena tors who may be Influenced by Kunna to vote against the measure. The relative freedom of each route from volcanic disturbances will be made the subject of interesting debate on the canal bill. The Panama advocates began to shout .that Nicaragua was subject to vol canic disturbances when Martinique war lately overwhelmed, and they declared At canal across that neck of the two conti nents would some day be wiped out of ex istence by the eruption of some volcano. Now, however, they do not feel eo happy" at their suggestion, since the crowd have secured the testimony of eel* entists who declare Panama Is in greate® danger from volcanoes than Nicaragua. Altogether the debate promisee to be th® most interesting of the entire session in the senate. Certain it is that it strikes a popular chord In the American breast, for every American wants to see a canal built. The Spooner amendment, which gives the president the authority to select th« route, has some followers, but from pres ent Indications, it seems the Nicaragua route will be chosen If the bill ever comes to a direct vote. TROLLEY HITS FLYING" AUTO IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, June I.—Four person* have been severely injured—two of them fatally, It is feared—in a crash at Rocka way Beach between an automobile end a trolley car. \ 1 .
