Lima, Peru May 30. --An attempt was made yesterday aftenoosi by adherents of Anguste Durand and.

Many shots were exchanged between the troops and the revolutionists, but the conflict did not last, for more than an hour. About a hendted were killed on each side and a large number wounded. Last night, following the attempted cold) d'etat, was one of anxiety for all the residents of the capital. Occasional- ly idiots were heard here and there, but there was no serious disturbance. Mar- tial litev had been proclaimed and strong forces of troops patrolled the streets. Everything- is quiet here to -day, but the troops are still very vigilant. Peo- ple are not permitted to assemble on the streets. A close sehreh is being made fotethe leaders of the uprising and they will be punished severely if captured.

London, May 30. ---Now that there is little hope of retaining in the country the Duke of Norfolk's great painting by Holbein, the portreat of Christina of Denmark, the committee of the national art collections fund eelases to state the amoubt ot the subscriptions made to purcbase the picture, but they are far short of the requisite amount. There have been a large number of sobscribers, but they gave small sums, none of them exceeding. $5,000„ It is believed that the pietore will go to America. The failure of the subscription is at- tributed mainly to Lite anger of -rich men at the budget, disgust at the huge profit which the Coluaghis demand., and the doubt raised as to the Duke of Norfolk's right to selling the painting.

WRECKAGE OF CONDOR. Remains of British Warship Found by Ronnyeastle Dale, 1,01.1,1,4 Hundred and Forty Officers and Men Disappeared With Her. One of thk. Seals Mysteries ercilliaeS to Yield Itself Up, New Yorle, May 30.—A. dosPateh to tile Herald from Victoria, 13. C., says: The wreck of the British sloop of war Condor, whose fate and, that of tho 140 officers. end Men forming her come pally have been one of the mysteries. of. the sea since December .3, 1001, has been located, submerged in com- paratively shallow water, about one and a half miles off shore at Long beach, midway between the soothers' entrance te 33erkeley Sound and the settlement ot Glayoquot, on the vest coast of Vancouver Island, The wreckage is about fourteen miles dis- tant from the village o ClaYoanote and seemingly rests upon an unchart- ed reef. The steles of the discovery of the long missiog sloop of war was brought from the coast by Bonnyea,stle Dale, a naturalist and journalist, who has communicated ,his discovelar to the British Admiralty. He regards. the evidence of identity as incontrovert- ible, and it is•expeeted that immediate investigations will be made by the Ad- miralty upon his report. WRECKAGE WASHED ASHORE. A surface wave beyond the line of the barrier reef that fronts the bay marks the spot where the vessel As supposed to lie. A. few weelcS ago a spar stamped with the Admiralty mark, with leaches patched with cop- per iu naval style, after being visible four days, floating aittached to the wreck beneath drifted ashore. Upon the same 'Waal some time age there dricted a jib -boom spar stamped Con- dors a life -buoy similarly marked and several signal. rocket oases marked with the nem° of the ill-starred vessel, mute testimony of the whereabouts of the long -missing sloop. About a mile and a half out from Long./teach the surface ripples over the ship that is supposed to be the sepulchre of one hundred and forty officers and men of his Majesty's navy. At high tide it is hardly vis- ible, but at extreme low tide the sea boils about the obstruction. Half a dozen residents of the west coast who have gone out to the spot itt smooth water and at low tide declared that the ltulk of the submerged ship is plain- ly visible. THE LAST SEEN OF THE C▪ ONDOR. On the morning of December 8, 1901, the sloop of war Condor, in com- pany -with H. AL S. Warspitee left Es- quimalt, the former never to return, the Condor was bound for Honolulu and Tahiti heavily laden with coal for O long cruise and carrying a large consigument of mails for the Britieh inhabitants iu the 'isolated South Sea In the straits a strong southeast gale prevailed and the warships part- ed company, the Warspite continuing on her way south and the Condor etarting to carry out gun praebice at the entrance to the straits, prior to making for Honolulu. Whether this gun practice was carried out has nev- er been ascertained. Outside the sbraits that fateful night a terrific storm was raging, which compelled every vessel in the region to fight for its life, and in this storm the Condor was seen for a brief moment, laboring heavily and flying signals of distress, by Captain Xames Boyd, now of the Bank Line steamer Ayxneric, and then in command of the southbound Iumber ship Springbank. "Naturally the name of the strug- gling warship was not made out, but there was no .doubt of her identity in the minds of Captain Boyd and his of- ficers. They did not go to the sup- posedly disabled gunboat's _assistance. Indeed, they gave her scant thought or attention at the time, as they were having all they could do to save their own ship and their lies. The same night was responsible for another mystery of the North Pacific. The collier Mattewan left Napalm() for San Francisco on December 2 and nev- er reached her port. Some believe she foundered. Some say she crash- ed into the Condor and both vessels were sunk. The Condor was of similes" type to the •Algerine and the Shearwater, now at Esquimalt Station, She had a very low free board, and the theory has been advanced that site shipped a tremendous sea, and before it had time to run through tho scrappers she was struck by another, which. caused her to found- er. Another favored theory is that her coal oargo shifted in the gale, and that she turned turtle. The ill-fated vessel was the seconde of het name, taking that of the 1%880 in which Admiral Lord, Charles Vetes- ford gained the title of “Coesilot Char- lie" by taking her under the guns 'of Alexandria la the bombardment of that port in 1888.

HURRICANE AND LIGHTNING.

Extreme darkness made the catastrophe awful. The storm formed half a mile south- west of Zephyr, and swept down on the village. (rutting a wide swath directly through the residence and business quar- ters. Nearly fifty houses were demi- tithed. Lightning struck a lumber yard and started a fire which destroyed an entiro business ablock. No effore was made to fight the flames, as the care of the dead and wounded demanded all attentionet. A section hand pumped. a Winker to. Brownwood and spread the Alarm. In two hours the Santa Fe Rail. road was speeding a special train to Zephyr with nine surgeons and a ScOrc or Brownwood citizens. Hundreds of rtersons in the eountry around Zephyr saved themselves by taking refuge in storm cellars, BLOWN TWO MILES. While the tornado's path was 300 yards wide, tho disaster swept the earth Lor a distance of only about a mile, Gs fury WaR more terrific than any previous tomato experienced in this re- gion. When the first relief party reached Zephyr a desolate scene awaited. The hillsides were covered with debris of rill kinde, intermingled with bodies of animals and human beings. The ruin* were dimly lighted by burning buildings, and the cries of the wounded rising above the screeching of the dying storm directed the rescuers to their work. Human bodies were found twisted about trees and distorted in inconceivable shapes. Two children were found dead two miles from Zephyr, having been blown that .distanc.ee. • - KNOW BUT ONE, Very Few Naval Ofifcers Can Speak Foreign Langy .

A GREAT FLIGHT. ZEPPELIN ;TRAVELLED OVEFI 458 • MILES IN HIS AIRSHIP. .••••••••••,00. Hundreds of Thousands of People Watched for His Arrival in Berlin —Emperor and Empress Among Them—All Disappointed. Berta hMay 30, —,Count Zeppelin,. ,Whose remarkable performances -in his first airship brought unbounded 'honors to the inventor, to -day complished the most striking feat in his career. He guided his Zeppelin II. front Friedrielishafen to Ritter - fold. a distance of snore than 450 withaub lauding. The journey lasted nearly 22 hours, and so far as is known to -night, Count Zeppelin is still in the air, on the return journey to Friedrichshafen. He had already beaten all records for dirigible balloons, with the opportunity of greatly improving the performance. It was announced and widely distei- buted in special editions of the news- papers that the Count evould come to Berlin aud land at the Templehof par- ade grounds. Hundreds of thousands ga- thered there this afternoon. The Emper- or and Empeess, several of the Princes, and the leading military officials and officers were preset*, and toward even- ing searchlights were set to work, in anticipation of the approach of the air- ship. Soldiers kept an enormous space cleared until 10.30 o'clock • at night, when a despatch from Ritterfeld an- nounced that the air ship was saturning to the starting point at Friedrichshafen, which caused the most intense disap- pointment. Count Zeppelin was in charge of the balloon himself, and was accompanied by two engineers and a crew of seven men. The voyage began under rather unfav- orable conditions. There was a lowering sky, rain clouds and a strong side wind, the airship left the floating hall shortly after 0 o'clock last night. Early in the morning the people of Treuchtlingen, a Small city in cm.. tral Bavaria, were awakened by the noise of the propellers of the craft, 'which was passing slowly at a low alti- tude. At this place the Count dropped out a card, divulging his intention to proceed farther north. This was the first occasion.he had journeyed over Ba- wl:via, and his arrival an hour and a half later at Neuremberg caused the greatest surprise to thousands of pleas- ure seekers who were preparing for the haliday excursions.

The exceedingly wet and cool weather prevailing during April and the earlY part of May is the cause. UatOrAg Were made to the Department as to the conditions- about the middle of May, and at that date more favorable wect. ther conditions had given a treat nn - Pulse M growth in both field and forest. • Pall Wheat—Reports coneerniug the prospects of fall wheat vary greatly, even in the same localities, some de- scribing the crop as looking well, though late, while others state that the fields are not only .bavkward in growth, but are thin and much "spot- ted Owing to the dry period pre- vailing when most of the seeding Was done, much of the new tall wheat did not start until the rains late Sep- tember came„ and the young plants entered tho Winter with very little top. Winter conditions, however, were not unfavorable to the crop, except where ice formed, and an early sPring. growth would have brought the fields along.. nicely; but the Cold and very wet weather of April retarded g'.'owth, and on poorly drained or low land al.nost drowned out the erop, -Much better growth was made on sandy and gravelly soils than on clays, owing to the excessive moisture. Winter Rye—The acreage of this erop is comparatively small, it' being raised chiefly for pasturing, soiling or for plowing under, It hae done better than fall wheat and is looking very well. Clover—Old meadows poor, new meadows promising, is a fair sum- mary 01 1116 returns received regarding this crop. Like fall wheat, clover looks best on, high land and on light soils: While many correspondents ,predict a good yield cf hae, others are looking for a comparatively light Out. Spring Sowing—The small portion of the spring crops that were put in early found an excellent seed bed, but heavy rains immediately followed, and the land. got too soft to work on, making further.sowing almost an im- possibility for weeks, except in a few cases where, to use the expressive language of some correspondents, the seed was "puddled" in. While those on high, light, or well -drained land have made fair headway with their spring Beeding, the bulk of farmers were not more than half way through with that work in t.Ins second week of May, a most unusual record for On- tario, However, farmers Lore ready and eager to get on the land with the first appearance of dry weather, and while some correspondents were tak- ing a rather gloomy view of the situ- ation others were most hopeful that with the advent of warm weather there 'Would be a quick advance in the growth of spring crops, Fruit Trees—All classes of orchard trees have come throh the winter in good condition so far as injury front the weather or mice is concerned, although butt -splitting is reported in some northern localities Unfortun- ately there are a number of references to the presence of San Jose scale and the oyster -shell bark -louse, and it is very evident that a steady warfare must be waged against these and other insect pests if c 15 fruit trees are to thrive. Fodder Supplies—But for the com- parative mildness of the winter there would have been much scarcity of fodder before live stock got upon the late grass. As it is, many farmers have had to for most economically, and some barns are rather bare of supplies. The pearcity of straw and roots told against generous feeding, and in many cases the situatio. . was saved only by the good crop of corn and the use of tie silo. Hay is in good demand, but in most cases there tit Only sufficient fot local demand, as a good deal was baled and shipped during the winter. Oats and wheat are higLar in value thah for years. Live Stock—The general condition of live stock may be briefly described as thin but thrifty. No disease of a serious or epidemic nature has appear- ed, the mild form of distemper re- ported in several path of the Prov- ince being of a local natme. Horses are said to be in e xl heart, although not looking so plump. or sleek as in some years, owing to dose feeding. Sheep have come through the wintet nicely, and lambing has been upon a generous scale; but fear s. the dog is holding back the sheep industry in Ontario.
