Nows of tho Week From Our Regular Cor respondent at tho Capital. Washington-. .Iiii'o.'i, tll. Editor Okkho.v Scout: It requires no extraordinary percep tive powers to see that the present is a period of great uncertainty with tho politicians. When they drop into Washington they are as eager as news paper men to gather each otlierV views. They will talk to you for half an hour and tell vou things that would make a stir if printed in connection with their names, but they never fail to conclude with something like "Now, my boy, this is strictly confidential; everything is too mixed for me to father this sort of thing at this time." All of which is conclusive to my mind that the politician is carefully feeling tho public pulse, and when ho learns what tho public wishes he will not be backward about adopting that as his views. The average politician follows, but never leads public opinion, unless he happens to make a mistake, as he sometimes does. The I'ostoflico Department is a very busy place these days. The needs of. tho service are, owing to its extremely rapid growth, always a long way ahead of the appropriations made by con gress. Hero is an instance: Boston, Chicago and other cities are asking for an addition of letter carriers which in the aggregate amounts to more than 1,000. Now congress lias only appro priated for tho employment of 150 ad ditional letter carriers, and at least ,'!00 of them will go to small places shown by tho census to bo entitled to the free delivery service, leaving only 150 to be divided among tho big cities which ask for 1,000. The postmaster general hopes by the adoption of a letter box for every household, if a suitable one can bo found among the eight hun dred samples submitted to tho depart ment, to greatly increase tho odiciency of tho present force of letter carriers in the largo cities. Another problem, in connection with tho lottery business, is being worked upon by the I'ostoflico Depart ment. Shortly after the law shutting lottery matter out of tho mails wont into effect, tho presidents of the two largest express companies issued an order instructing their agents to refuse all lottery business tendered them. Now tho agents of tho ' department have secured proof that tho agents of the express companies aro ignoring these orders, presumably with tho knowledge and consent of tho mon who issued them, and aro doing a heavy lottory business. .Tow to stop this is the question that tho legal ad visors of tho postmaster general aro now studying, and it is probablo that if thoy can see any reasonablo prospect of success that an attempt will bo made through tho courts to compel the express companies to refuse lottory business. Tho secretary of tho National Asso ciation of Democratic Clubs denies that his organization is ongaged in booming Senator Gorman or any other man for tho democratic presidential nomination, as has been charged by a New York paper. Tho secretary is an honorable business man of this town, and, in this community, his word will go a good deal farther than any state ment made by the sensational paper which originated this charge. Mr. Columbus Delano, who was somo years ago a member of President Grant's cabinet, is hero. Ho is re sponsible for tho statement that the republican farmers of Ohio will unani mously support McKinloy. Other Ohio republicans aro far from being as- confident as Mr. Delano is, and appar ently their sources of knowledge of tho situation aro quite as good as his. It is said that Hon. John W. Foster, who in Secrotary Rlaino's absonco is in chargo of tho reciprocity pro gramme, has almost concluded tho negotiations for reciprocity with an- othor nation, but ho declines to make tho namo of tho country public yet. Somo think that it is Mexico. In spito of tho fact that it is thought to bo too lato to accomplish tho desired purpose, the administration is won pleased that England agreed to its proposition for a closed season iu Jehring Kca, Tho publication of tho correspondence reflects credit upon Mr. Rluino and shows tho falsity of tho chargo that ho was noting iu tho interoit of tho loascoa of tho American sealing privilege. When the atbitra tion, which was months ago agreed upon, is to tuke place will not be de termined until the details nf the erbitration are settled. .1. II. ("!. Crop-Weather, Bulletin No. 14.

A few days suubhino will ripen the cherries. Denies of all kinds promise to be plentiful.

HASTIJRN OltCfiO.V. Weather. The weather has been cool, with little sunshine, and general light showers havo prevailed. In t,ee lions there were heavy downpours, generally called cloud-bursts, ono es pecially near Vansycle in Umatilla county on the 12th. Tho rainfall varied from .05 to .00 of an inch. Some snow fell in tho mountains of Baker and Wallowa counties. Crops. The rain was of great bone- 111, 10 growing crops. Timely rains havo further improved the splendid prospects. Tho hot winds of May 25th burnt considerable wheat, but tho rains havo done far inoro bonelit than tho hot winds did damage. Through tho wheat districts tho rains wore not as heavy as in tho other sections, but some fell through the on tiro wheat area. In tho Gntudo Rondo valloy spring wheat is lato iu coming up, but tho present inoisturo insures tho crop. Cherries and strawberries aro fino and plentiful. Fruit is gonorafly in good condition. Entire Eastern Oregon and Washington havo boon favored with suitablo weather conditions to further improvo tho good prospects for an abundant harvest. IJ. S. PAGUE, Obfcorver, U. S. Weather Bureau.
