BIRD IN TROUBLE. NEWS IN BRIEF. THE BALTIC CANAL, i SCALDED TO DEATH. LIBERALS AltE OUT. KANSAS NEWS NOTES.

Kansas Crop Report. The board of agriculture has issued a report on the state's present crop condition, deduced from observations made by its regular correspondents in practically every township in the state and Secretary Coburn thinks the showing is in many respects one of fine prospects as compared with the report made May 1. The report is as follows: Winter wheat Previous estimates indicated the area sown to winter wheat as acres, and May 1 it was believed that 53 per cent of this would be harvested. Present estimates are that about 37 per -cent, or 1,496,791 acres will be cut and the average yield 8.24 bushels per acre, or a total of 332,333 bushels. The largest average yield per acre for a county is 15 bushels in Wyandotte.

Allen, Coffey, Doniphan and Phillips report 13 bushels per and 33 counties an average yield of 10 bushels or more. Spring Wheat Of "spring wheat "6. per cent of the acreage will be harvested, or about 80,000 acres. The yield is set down at 773,000 bushels, or an average of nine bushels per acre for the thirty-two counties in which it is reported growing. The highest average, sixteen bushels, is figured from Phillips county; nineteen counties report a probable averge of ten bushels or more per acre, and indications of the quality are medium or good.

There is but a single exception as to the quality. Corn It is corn, the crop overshadowing in acreage, value and importance any other which Kansas produces, wherewith the state now promises to exceed by far the best of its wonderful previous yield records. The area now reported planted is 8,410,918 acres, or an increase of almost ten per cent of the estimate May 1, and also an increase of 1,417,741 acres, or more than twenty per cent, over the largest ever before planted, which was acres, in 1S88. Oats The rains have worked a very notable change in the condition of oats, causing them to head and fill much better than seemed possible May 1, although the straw will be unusually short. The yield promises to be not less than twenty -five bushels per acre, or a total of 32,000.000 bushels of 'medium" to "very grain the largest output since 1S92.

Chinch bugs have been more or. less numerous and industrious in Atchison, Chautauqua, Cnerokee, Crawford, I ranklin, Labette, Montgomery, Sumner, Wabaunsee and Woodson, but recent rains must inevitably check their injurious work, and also strengthen plant growth to better withstand their assaults. live Rye sown on 165,540 acres, which 51 per or 84,935 acres Site Is Ready to Jilt Japam and Throw Herself at Russia. Yokohama, June 7, via San Francisco, June 24. Although no international complications: are -apprehended on Formosa's account, the latest Corean developments are justly regarded with grave anxiety.

Count Inonye, the Japanese representative at Seoul, has been recalled, ostensibly to take part in consultations as to the future policy of Japan, but really, it is believed, to discuss the question of abandoning entirely the attempts to introduce social and political reforms into the corrupt monarchy. Until a few weeks ago the dominating influence of the Japanese was securely maintained, but since the announcement of Jahan's submission to the recent demand of Russia and her allies, the Coreans have convinced themselves that Russia alone is to be feared and courted, and that they may safely repudiate their pledge to the island empire. Little deference is paid to Count Inonye, and the government leaders are seeking to ingratiate themselves with the Russian diplomatic agent by conceivable device. EVICT1 BY INDIANS.

It I Formally Opened With Most Imputing Demonstration. Hamburg, June 20. In the presence of the greatest aggregation of war ships ever gathered together at one time, the celebration of the opening of the great Baltic canal, linking the North and Kast seas, began yesterday when the emperor of Germany and all the representatives of the nations assembled here, and a great state dinner and a concert on an island in the Alster basin were followed by a tour of Hamburg harbor and the departure of the kaiser for Kiel on his yacht. The purpose of the Baltic canal is a two-fold one, commercial and naval.

As for the commercial advantages, they result plainly enough since the shortening of a voyage hitherto made around the Skager rock is considerable. From Newcastle, Hull and London, the saving in nautical miles is 107, 181 and 239 respectively; from Dunkirk and other points along the French, Bel-gium and Dutch coasts, from 236 to 250 miles, and from Lmden, Bremen and Hamburg, 583, 323 and 425 miles respectively. A similar saving of distance and time is effected for Baltic ports of Prussia, Mecklenburg and Russia. Tho military advantages accruing lie in the fact that henceforth in time of war the Herman navy cannot be rent or kept apart and provisioning of either the Baltic or the North sea cannot be interrupted or rendered impossible. The construction of the canal was begun eight years ago and its total cost has been $38,500,000.

fhe total output shows a great decline from the output of 181)3, due, the report says, mainly to the financial con ditions, but also to special features which affected the net result.

Chicago, June 24. By the explosion of a steam valve in the whaleback steamer Christopher Columbus, off Waukegan Saturday night, two men were killed and thirteen were dangerously or painfully injured. The dead are: Frank Wilson, coal passer, E. J. Steit, fireman.

Half a mile in the boat's wake plowed the rival excursion steamer, the Virginia, which cleared the harbor some fifteen minutes later and had on every pound of steam possible to overtake her competitor. On the outward trip the Virginia had not only held the advantage but doubled it, and the crew of the whaleback were determined that they should not be passed, and the Virginia was gaining.

Suddenly there was a shock of ex- fdosion. The steam valve in a six-nch connecting pipe over the starboard battery of three boilers had blown Down in the hold six firemen and a waterman found themselves enveloped in a scalding mist so thick one could not see his hand. When they tried to make the ladder they jammed against the heated oven doors. In their frenzy they fell over one another and delayed embracing the slight chance of escape offered. The blinding vapor made help impossible.

The scalded men were brought up to the cabin as soon as possible, and several surgeons who were on board did all possible to alleviate their sufferings. For three hours the whaleback iay, getting up steam for resuming the journey. It was found that one battery of three boilers had been made useless, but the other was cut off from it, and at 11 o'clock there was enough pressure to start the engines. The beat finally reached her dock in Chicago at 3:15 a. m.
