The Ontario Departliheet of Agriculture bas leaned rt bulletin eoveeing the condi, tion of the °rope up to June 10th, incited- ing therefore the period of heavy rain. June weather se far has been quite favor• able to the growth of orops, nmumT. Tho frost in May did some damage to fruit. Geapovinee have suffered quite ex- teosively fn the West Midland, Lake Hu - inn and Georgian Bay counties. Poach trees were injured to some extent byfrosb, '" and,"leaf ourl" is reported by many, Thee is promise of only a fair orop, Ap- ples are setting well, and, on the whole, promise a good crop, especially East of. i Toronto. Pears are in good form. Plums and cherries are reported fair. Small fruits give prospect of extra yield, Straw- berries, on the whole, aro reported as turning out fairly well, The Essex and (tent and Niagara districts give, on the whole, very favorable reports as to fruit. TALL WHEAT. Thio crop has stood the heavy rain and changes of weather much better Ibhan the Spring crops. Throughout the entire Pro- vince soros low lauds have been flooded and the crop drowned out. On very • heavy olive there has been some damage, but on light, and loamy soils very little injury has resulted. The reports for this time of the year are quite up to the average. The frost of the first week of June was felt to a very slight extent. The reports from all parte of the Prov- ince are praotieally the same -that after therein the wheat anon picked up and showed less injury than had been suppos- ed. No more than usual has been plough- ed up and re -sown to Springgrain. Head- ing out was in progress on the 16th. In some places the growth was quite rank.. With favorable weather for the next three weeks a good orop of Fall wheat may be looked for, At present the conditions promise an average yield. In the Lake • Erie district the crop was fair to very good, except -on low lands and very heavy clay. Damage by frost was very slight. In the Lake Huron district most of the reports are for a good crop. Some atten- tion is given by correspondents to the benefits of drainage, which were very ap parent during the present season. In the Georgian Bay counties a small fraction of tee crop has been lost, but on the whole it is quite up to the average. In the West Midland group the best reports come from Wellington and the worst from Middlesex, where, however, the crop is reported fair. Along Lake Ontario the reports are favorable for a fair orop, fully up to the average. In the Eastern coun- ties the amount of Fall wheatis too small _ to affect the total,'but reports aro favor- able. To sum up :-The present condi- tion is fair, with prospects of a orop quite •0» to, if not a little over, the average, with favorable weather, AMMO- MMIen. As usual, there is but little Spring wheat in the Western part of,the Prov- ince., while in the Eastern half the acre- age is declining. The low-lying lands have suffered severely, but the higher lands have fair crops. The grain was sown in fine condition, and is- now re- covering rapidly from the extra rain. In many planes correspondents statothat the rain did more good thaw harm. In the Eastern counties about one-third of the Spring wheat is either destroyed or is in poor condition ; two-thirds may bo said to be fair to good. Less than usual has been sown in the Northern districts. On the whole present indioatioas are for a crop about two-thirds of the average. 1hARLEr. In the Lake Erie district only a moder- ate' quantity has been sown, and the con- dition is under the average. It has suffer- ed from rain and alsofrom frost. In the Lake Huron district barley is not in so good a form as Spring wheat ; it is back- ward and a little yellow iu places, but is now improving. Ia the Georgian Bay district rain and frost did some injury, but an improvement has taken place since , -warm weather returned. In the West Midland district the crop is reported as being uneven, or .patohy and backward. In the Lake Ontario district the condi- tion is a little under the average. In the St. Lawrence and Ottawed/strict the con- dition is reported as more favorable, and, with good weather, afar crop will be ob- tained. In the East Midland district the crop is fair, In the Northern districts nothing of any consequence is reported. On the whole 1t may be concluded that the baeleyhas suffered quite extensively, is backward in growth, but at present is mniring very rapid progress, and, with a continuance of favorable weather, will probably come up to nearly theaverage of the last two years. OATS, 1.1l, ran ADD CORN. Oats -The reports from every section of the Province are practically the same. and to the following effect :-Tho rains drowned out the crop on low-lying fields. On the higher land on those under -drain. ed little or no damage was done. At the time of reporting the crop was making a 'vary rapid growth, and becoming some. what rank in straw. A few fields were baked by the hot sun, but on the whole the prospects were most promising, the only unfavorable report being as to the low lands. The orop is on the whole somewhat more backward than usual, but present conditions point to a yield fully' up to the average. Rye -There appears to be less and lees of rye sown every year. As far- as reported upon it Dame through the Wiutor01 good condition, was favor- ablyaffectedby the eontinued mine, and in now in excellent condition, having made u very heavy ljrowth. Peas -The con- tinued rains did more damage to peas than to the other Spring -grown crops, Early sown peas have done well on high lands, but on low lauds have suffered heavily. The rain retarded sowing, so that a large acreage has been put in late. As a consequence the yield will be a little short in quantity, but at present the quality of the crop is in general all that could bo desired. The reports from ;the largest pea a0untiee of the West are, quite favorable. Cern-In the Southwest a ,BRUSSELS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, considerable quantity of corn lord been ploofinted it had to be re.planteiI, Ththe mau came, and o op over the Province is backward, growth being Omitted by cool weather. The condition at present is. hardly up to the average. Tho late start may interfere with the maturing of the Southernensilage varie- ties. Many report the young Drop as not looking very thrifty. Front all parte. of the Province) come reports of re -planting, of late planting and of slow growth,. Prospects are for a crop a little undo the averego in quantity. TIsi000y. AND CLOVER, Timoth sMall of timothy was Wziter••hiiljlod,•bu0 thetl principal dam- age bas resulted from the cold, wet wea- ther of Spring acid early Summer. Tho reports from all the counties are in agree- ment that we shall have a short hay orop1 this year. Old moadowe are thin an li backward ; now meadows ole only in fair condition. Tho rapid growth now being made will not be sufficient to bring the orop up to the average. The prospects are for a orop about two-thirds of that of 1898, The crop is hate -a mouth late in some motions. In some places it is head- ing out on short growth. There is no need to different oountiee or districts, as all report the same, namely a light crop. The heavy crop of last year may be responsible in part for the light growth of .thea year. Clover -This orop has suffered more tlhantimothy. Complaints of Winter.killiug are universal. The old fields are very patchy and rmeven ; the new fibkls are coming on ha fair condi- tion. A few report the crop as excellent, but the majority report a short and un• even crop of red clover. Alsike, now in bloom, is showing up well. Ontho whole the clover crop promises to be below the average. Damage by insects is repor.ed from a fow counties. Roots and pota- toes-l'nun1y planted potatoes were much injured by frosts, and large quantities rotted on low lands. Late planted pota- toes are now coming on well. The "bug" is 110t more numerous thaw usual. The ammonia not far enough advanced to re- port upon roots, as sowing is later than usual: RENS AND no5T0v. Reports regarding the condition, of bees are variable. The loss during Winter ap- pears to have been about the average, whore hives were left on the stands, but the mortality appears to have been great- er than usual where the bees wereWintee- ed. indoors. The fine weather of the late 1lfarch and early April days gave bees an earlier outing than usual, but the wet and cold weather which afterwards prevailed was very trying to the apiary. Several correspondents complained of Spring dwindling, and losses from chilled brood and hunger were reported from various parts of the Province. There has been practically no mention made of foul brood. With contfrmed fiuo weather it was expected that colonies would pick up, and that honey making would go rapidly forward, ':Anon AND MAGES. Out of every eight correspondents re- porting seven state Ahab there was a sufficiency of labor, and as regards qual- ity, one out of every three men offerine for farm help was considered spoor hand. Tho result of the large number of men seeking rural employment in the Spring and early Sumner Is seen in the lowering of the scale of wages. The average amount paid monthly, with board, was 816.48, compared witu 817.17 in tlteprevi- ous year. Without board, monthly wages averaged 824,48, or 22 cents below the average rate of the preceding year. Day laborers averaged 83 cents with board, a falling off of 5 cents compared with 1893, while those working by the day, withor.t board, received but 81.11, or 5 cents lose than in the year previous. Domestic servants 515 still scarce on the farm ; the women question has still to bo settled in that quarter. General. Nevv,e. Alexander Logan, a well known citizen of Winnipeg, is dead.

Sadi Carnot, President of the French Republic, was stabbed mortally at 0:15 o'clock Saturday, in Lyons, by Cesare Giovanni Santo, an Italian Anarchist, 22 years old, and died shortly afterwards. President Cannot wont to Lyons to visit the exhibition. He left the Chamber of Commerce banquet, given In his honor, shortly after 9 o'clock, and walked to his carriage, which was waiting in the Place de la Bourse. IID had hardly taken his seat when Santo, a newspaperinhis hand, pressed through the crowd and sprang up the, carriage stop. President Carnot started slightly. Santo snatched a drag- ger from the newspaper and plunged it into the President's abdomen, nese the liver. The President sank beak tm0011- scious. He was taken at once to the Pre- fecture, and the most skilful surgeons in the city were summoned. Meantime Santo was arrested. The news spread swiftly to every part of the city. Lift -minted crowds filled the streets. Before 10 o'clock an Italian res- taurant had been sacked, and the police were obliged to strain every nerve to pro- tect the Italian consulate. President Carnot arrived in Lyons Fri- day, and inteuded to remain there over Tuesday. He was accompanied by Gen. Borius, chief of the military household, most of his other household officials, Pre- mier Dnpny, M. Bordeau and members of the Cabinet. He was received enthus- iastically at the station by the Mayor and district officials, who escorted hire andbis party to the Hotel De Ville. Cheering crowds filled the streets and gave the President such a welcome as he had sel- dom received. There was a luncheon at the Hotel ole Ville, and in the evening a dinner at the Prefecture. From the bal- cony of the Prefecture the President re- viewed a large torchlight procession, which was followed by tiro -works and an illumination. Afterward the program of the oity officials for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday were submitted to him in detail, and he expressed his satisfaction with the arrangements. Friday the President audbis party paid a State visit to the exhibition h i the Parc de la Tete d'Or. Afterward the President gave a reception ab the Prefecture. He planned to go to the Grand Theatre on the Place de la Comedic) Friday evening after the banquet et the Ohamberof Com- merce. He was in a peculiarly happy mood during the banquet, and was notice- ably elated by the cordiality of his recep- tion, not only by the crowd outside the building, but also by the guests within. He WAS cheered incessantly froni the moment he left the Ohamberof Commerce until he took the carriage for the theatre. The demonstrative effect of the crowd caused the 0onfusion which gave Santo his opportuniby,as he was able to pnshhis way forward quietly until at the stop of the carriage. As Santo sprang from the car- riage steps and tried to escape he was seized and surrounded. But for the prompt interference of tlhepolice he would have been tarn and trampled to death on the ep01. As soon as the police extrieted him from the hands of his captors theyhurriedhim off to the station house. Whoa Santo was withiu a few feet of the carriage ho waved a paper, as if in- tending to present a petition, end thus throw off their' guard the persons nearest the President. He was seized just as lie was about to jump from the sbep, and had but half withdrawn the dagger. The President had repeated hemorrh- ages after he was removed to the Prefec- ture, He sank gradually but steadily until 12:45 o'clock when he died. His Excellency the Governor-General ou the advice of his Ministers Monday tabled to Lord Dufferin, British Minister at Paris, requesting him to convey to the French Ministry the sincere sympathy of the Canadian Government with theFrenoh people in the calamity that has befallen them iu the assassination of President Carnot. Sir John Thompson sent a mes- sage of condolence to Mine. Carnot, con- veying his personal eympathy with her in her heavy beteavenhent,
