London, June 24. Advices' from
Teheran today state that conditions
in tho Porslan capital nre worse than
they wero yesterday.
Pillaging, lighting and looting by
tho shah's troops continues and some
streets aro completely blocked with
dead bodies, Houses have boon
wrecked and a largo portion of the
city Is In ruins.
I JjruilK Willi wieir utcM .ui jL-niui-

j Over a thousand men, women and
children hnvo been killed by tho sol
dlors who nro showing 'no quarter.
Houses have boon Btirrounded by thel
coB?acks and when their occupants
have refused to come forth Into tho
stroet and bo shot down, tho houses
hnvo beoii dynamited.
Women and children wero dragged
out of their beds early this morning
by tho drunken soldiers who tor-

bo killed. .1
No ono Is on tho streets today but

rulnB of yesterday's qarnage, com
mitting more outrages,
So far tho legations of foreign na
tions have not been threatened. It
is undorBtood that tho rihah has given
strict orders thnt no foreigner Is to
bo killed bocausQ ho fears an Inter
"ventlon from Europo that may take
.away from him his seemingly com
rpleto control of tho government and

Dispatches from tho Persian fron

ilizing troops to bo i readiness to
'mow on Persia nt any moment. The
BrltlBh and Russia consuls have de
manded that the shnh release all po
litical prisoners an.l restore order an
soon as possible.
Bpecial trains to fight against th
nomination of Bryan.
It Is understood that Tammany
will hold out' for a conservative
platform and. fight Bryan's plans on
the ground that they are too radical
and not of a character to attract tho
vote of the Nation following th
Roosevelt administration.
Leader Charles F. Murphy, It if
said, believes -that the Democrats
will have a better ohanco to win this
year If they como out on a "safe and
sane" platform that will gain the
support of financial Interests and
promise lnduitrlal prosperity.
It I claimed at Tammany hall
that Bryan has not pledged the votes
that have been claimed for him. it
was not so announceu uui u '- (
posed tho Tammany delegation will,
favor the nomination of Governor,
Johnson of Minnesota.
William J. Connors, of Buffalo,
the state chairman, who will be at
the head of the up-state delegations,
also Is opposed to Bryan and say4J
there are half a dozen condjdates
who cputd make a better fight if
nominated.

nro for n cfop of 48,500,000 bushel

ho, 7,000,000 -buihelB Washington,
29,000,000 bushels.
This will rptnpnro with, a total of
'Cn;'06D,000 Vushols' '"forToo? nnd
47,521,855 bushels as Indicated for
1000. It will therofore be noted thnt
this year's wheat crop promises to bo
larger than that of two years ago,
although the record breaking pro
duction of n year ago will not bo
reached by nt leant 4,000,000 bushoU.
The production shows h decreaso
not becnufro of any decrenso In acro
age for tho three sthteB show an nct
ual Incrcnso this year of about 200,.

Perhaps one of the chief dofocls
during the growing season was tho
cold, raw nnd chilly weather during
late spring months.
This year the three states liuvo an
ncrcngo of 2,540,000 ai compared
with" 2,340,000 during tho previous
year. This year Oregon had 725,000
acres Bowed mostly to winter whent
while the larger portion of Washing

Spring wheat was principally affected
