Condition Generally Favorable and Prospects Promising. The weather crop bulletin, for thA week ending last Saturday, eavs the reports of correspondent, indicates anotber favorable week. Very bene ficial showers occurred during the imuaie oi xne week:, the average rain fall for the State bein 1.25 inch. Sunshine was slightly deficient. Crops have made progress during the week and the prospects are more prom ising. In the eastern district, thouch cool the first of the week, warmer weather and favorable raiii the latter part greatly benefited crops. A - few local heavy rains occurred : the amount of eunshine was lees than the normal. Though grass is getting troublesome, iarmers generally have crorm clean and in good growing condition. To bacco is doing fairly well, but worms have made their appearance. A cor respondent remarks that it has a ten dency to button out on account of proceeding dry weather. Cotton is nearly all chopped, improves elowly ; may be considered nearly a month ate. Corn, though very backward, s improving, with good color but poor etand. Injects are ttill doing: some damage. Some corn isiufct com ing up. In the extreme southern part of the State it is beginning to tassel. Corn is doing better than cotton, and the proepact for good crop has increas ed this week. Sweet potatoes are still being set out. Some oats have been cut ; and though some report heading low, the crop will be an average. W heat nearly ready for hai vest. Shin- ping Iribh potatoes continues with yield probably half the average. Fruit is still ehedding. Pice planting done at last. In the western district a fine week with plenty of buii at the majority of places during the evening or night, not leaving ground too wet to plow next morning, except where heavy rains oc curreel in portions of Cabarrus and Rowan counties. The extreme west has been drier than other portions of the State. A hail storm occurred in Surry county, damaging w heat. Farmers are better up with their work than in other sections. The outlook is promising. Corn is growing rapidly, and late planted is coming up tine; a little dam age by bugs is still occuring. Wheat and rye are being cut. Wheat is good, oats are fine, especially spring oats. A few correspondents notice emut and rust in wheat. Irish potatoes in bloom and still attracting potato bugs. A great fruit crop is probable in this sec tion. Qrapes are free from rot; cher ries are ripe. Gardens are looking nice and clean. A Ills Addition. The Canton Manufacturing Com pany recently decided to add to their plant at Concord another mill, to operate 5,000 spindles and about 125 looms. This mill will be erected on the company's ground, near the reser voir, a few hundred yards above the mills now standing. This will neces sitate new buildings not a few. The Special Tax. The State Treasurer has decided that the special tax on boarding-houses, ho tels, doctors, lawyers, and dentists, of 50 cents a room, and the $10 license, must be enforced. It is one of the laws made by the last Legislature. All who are liable to this tax and have not paid up, had better do so at once. Adjouvaed at Last.

A dispatch to the Charlotte Observer, dated Thursday, thus describes the opening of the wonderful German Ship canal at Kiel, Germany: With imperial pomp and ceremoney and amid the plaudit of thousands upon thousands of people, the great canal connecting the Baltic and North Seas was opened to commence today. The weather was perfect, and the in auguration ceremony was highly suc cessful, save in one particular, the grounding in the canal of the North German Lloyd steamer, Kaiser Wil helm II., one of the vessels that took part in the naval parade. She took bottom near Leveusau, near the east ern extremity of the canal, but she got off without damage. At 3 o'clock Thursday morning the dispatch boat Grille, entered ihe lock at Bruns buttel, the western extremity of the canal, and went through as a scout, examining the banks and locks and taking soundings in order to prevent, if possible, the occurrence of an accident when the great parade navigated the canal to Kiel. Long before the hour set for the start ing of the parade, every available-space aloDg the river front was pre-empted by eager crowds, all anxious to see the Kmperor, German PriDces, and other royal personages, than which a larger gathering has never been seen in this part of the empire. The scene, as the Kmperor and four of his eldest sons drove along the river front last evening to embark on the imperial yacht, IIo henzollern, was one to be long remem bered. Everything capable of being decorated bore masses of flags and vari colored bunting, and the crowd, filled with holielay fervor, cheered incessant ly as the Emperor and Princes passed. The Ilohenzoliern passed into the western water gate at 3.43 o'clock this Homing. As she passed into the canal, the entrance to which was crowded at every point, a salute was fired by a park of artillery stationed a little dis tance from the entrance to the lock, while the soldiery, composed of cavalry, infantry and pioneers, liniDg both banks, presented arms. At the same time a military band played the German national anthem. The approaches were crowded with military students, visitors and residents of the vicinity, who cheered loudly. The Emperor was on deck, and he bow ed in response to the ovation he receiv ed, exhibiting much emotion. The Hohenzollern at 4 o'clock cut the thread which had been stretched across the entrance to the canal, and began her passage through to Kiel, the bands on shore playing national airs and the crowds cheering. The other vessels in the procession followed in this order: The yacht Kaiser Adler, having on board Prince Luitpold, Regent of Bava ria, the King of Saxony, the King of Vurtcmbur2 and Grand Duke Alexi3 of Russia. Then came the North-German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II w ith the German Princes and the for eign ambassadors and ministers; the Lensahu, with the Duke of Oldenburg; the British royal yacht Osborne, with the Duke of York, representing Qusen Victoria; the Italian royal yacht Savoa, with the Duke of Genoa, representing King Humbert, the Austrian torpedo catcher, Trabant, with Archduke Charles Stephen, representing Emperor Francis Joseph, the Hamburg-American Line steamer Augusta Victoria, with the members of the Bundesrath and of the diplomatic corps; the same line's stea mer Columbia, with members of the Reichstag; the North German Lloyd steamer Strave, also with mem bers of the Reichst;ic, and the Prussian Landtag, and the llambure-American line steamer Rhaetia with members of the Reichstag and Landtag. The warships steamed through in this order: Grille, Arethus, Surfer. Grosiastchy, Marques tie Ensenade, Edda, VikiDg, Marblehcad, Mircea, llecla, Alkamar. The rear of the procession was brought up by the Turkish yacht Fevaid. At 10:30 o'clock at night everyone who was expected to go through the canal on the American cruiser. Marble head, was on board that vessel, though she did not leave her berth until this morninjr. Among those on board were Admiral Kirkland and staff, Captain Evaus, Captain Shepard, the lieuten ants, ensigns and marine officers from each ship of the American squadron, the Rev. Mr. Tripp, chaplain of the cruiser San Francisco; Mrs. Louis II. Moore, representing the United Press, and the fleet surgeon and -fleet pay master. The Marblehead sailed slowly down the Elbe and anchored at Bruns buttel at 6 o'clock, awaitiDg her turn to go into the canal. The Marblehead is very popular, ow ing to the fact that her officers have shown every possible courtesy to visit ors, and she was cheered last evening by the occupants of hundreds of steam and electric launches and thousands of people on shore At 11:30 p.m. the Hohenzollern was in sight of the Iloltenau locks at the cast end of the canal. The immense crowd of people who had assembled on the Iloltenau festplatz, to witness the spectacle, set up a mighty cheer as the imperial vacht was sighted. Five min utes later she had steamed up to the locks, w hich she entered at 12:35. The Emperor stood up on the high bridge, behind the m tin mast, attired in the full uniform of an admiral of the Ger man navy, si:2cesticg the well-known picture, " Wiih full steam ahead." The bands of the regular and veteran troops struck up "Heil der ricgerkranz," which the Kaiser acknowledged by a salute. At vzaq ail or the shirks in the bay fired an imperial salute. It was a grand spectacle. On each sl4e of the lock was drawn up a company of the First Foot Guards of Poisdam, with a band, and a company of the Kaiser Flensburg Regiment were lined on the north shore, in front of the harbor officers, with the marine band. The admirals and gen erals stood upon the centre rampart which divides the sections of the lock. The immense crowds kept up con tinuous cheerings as the Honenzollern passed through and went to her an chorage, followed by the Kaiser Alder. The harbor was teeming with pleasure boats cf every description which swarmed about the warships, the Ameri can vessels receiving their full share of attention As the Kaiser Wilhelm was passing a point near Lavensau she ran aground, compelling all the vesseh behind her to stop. ' She got afloat later and arrived at Kiel at 5 o'clock, followed at short in tervals by other vessels taking part in tbe procession. A large number of British and Ger man sailors were given shore leave this evening and are eujoying themselves hugely in the fashion of sa-lormeD CifK E WILLIAM LAVS A PTOUE, A5D MAXES A IFRVESr IXV.XAT1.JX.

One or Ihe ?lo.t Stupendous Works of Modern Kngineerln?. Nearly eisrht yars have now passed since, on June 3, 1SV7. Emperor William I. laid the foundation fetor" of the Iloltenau lock'of this canal, near Kiel. Tho President of the Reichstag handed th Emperor a trowel and hammer, and the Emperor, tapping the etone. pronounced the work to be one of peace, honor, defence and progress. Then, various Trince?, ?Iinisters, members of the Bundsrath and other functionaries each struck the Etone three times. The practical task was pushed forword vigorously, and It Is said that nearly 8000 officials and men were kept at work upon it continuously. The canal is about sixty-four miles long. Its course from Holtenau is through the route of the old Elder Canal and thence by a course as direct as possible, and yet with not a few decided swervings from a straight line, It reaches the Elbe a little east of Brunsbut tel. The Eider Canal, which was, of course, a Danish enterprise, lia i existed, over a cen tury, the advantage of avoiding the long de tour around Cape Skagen having been ob vious for generations. Germany, in taking up the new project of a thip canal, had large ly in view it3 strategic uses, but it also had Its advantages on the commercial side, and these, to a greater or less extent, the whole 'world can share. In order that the canal ,may be constantly employed and earning imoney, it will be lighted at night by elec tricity. The level is fixed for that of the Baltic; and in order to protect it from cur rents so strong as to impede progress, huge locks have been built. The width of the canal at the top is sixty metres and twenty-two at the bottom, and, as Is obvious, large mer chant thiDS can meet and pass each other, while, with a view to the demand of the very largest warships or other vessel!, there are half a dozen side stations in which to accommodate one of the passers. Very hig'i tides are to be feared only rarely, and the heavy locks provide 1 offset this SDure or trouble.

OLNEY DEFINES THE POSITIOX Americans Should Assume Toward Cuba a Insurgents. Secretary Olney has practically defined the position American citizens shouid assums toward Cuban insurrection, in a letter to a Cuban sympathizer, the cashier of a bank, who wrote to Mr. Olney lor advice with re gard to receiving contributions to tha in surgents cause on deposit at the institution with whPh he is connected. The bank cashier wrote as follows: "Farmers and Merchant' National Bank, Wi-o, Tex. lion. Richard Olney, Secretary of State: I have been a pproated by alleged agerjts of the Cuban Insurants with the view of securing this tank's consent to act as a depository for contributions from sympa thizers In the United States, but have with held consent until such time as I eould hear from your department a to whether we would, by so doing, lay ourselves liable to prosecution under tbe neutrality laws. This we desire to avoid not only technically but morally as well for we are too loyal to our country to seek to overture, ln. any sense, her laws. T, mysflf, am fn entire sympathy with the cause of Cuban independence, and I attri bute the singling out of this tank to that favt, lyicg known to a few who are identified with the eause in that eoantry. It is nesliess to say that from a business standpoint it would result in great advantage to this bank, and I hope you will see your wayclearln allowing u? to publish acceptance of the trust to the world. Jous P. Masset, "Cashier." To this the secretary cf state repued: 'Whether the ba:;k or its offWrs could b criminally prosecuted under the neutrality laws of the United State. because the bank had knowingly male itself a depository f tho funds contributed by sympathizers In the United States, in support of the present Cuban insurrection, is a question as to which opinions may differ, and which can be satis factory settled only by the adjudication ot tbe proper eourt. Should a bank engage in such a transaction, and. as you suggest, publish its a 'ceptaae or sa"h a trust to the world, it would be my duty to -lall upon the department of justice to test tht question whether or not the proceeding was a crime against the United States. It might also be m v duty to sugg'vt whether a bank holding a Uuited States charter dos not abuse it. f raachis-js and furnish ground for rheir for feiture l y acts in aid of hostibties against a nation with which tho United Sfaf's is at peace. "I do not anticlpat. however, that any thing done by your bauk or its officers Is likely to promote the solution of the inter esting I'igal questions your letter presents. "You ak me not m rely as to your tech nical legal liability, but also a to your moral obligations, aiding Tor we are all too 'oyal to our country to seek to overthrow, in any case, her laws.' I heartily commend the sentiment oi the quotation and am iu a posi tion to say that your moral duty in the pre mises does not a lmit of the lea.t question. It has been expounded bv no b'ss an author ity than the supreme court in ths following language: 'The ir.tereours- of his country with foreign nations and its policy in regard to them are placed by tine constitution of the United Statep in th hands of the govern ment and its deoisious up.m tbas3 subjects are obligatory upon evsiy citizen of the union. II i is" bound ti b at war with the nation against -.vhieb th war-muUng power ha3 declared war. and equally hound to com mit no act of hostility a rsinst a nation with which the goverumer-t is In amity and friend ship.' "This pric'lpie is universally acknowl edged by the Ih as of natioas. It lis at the foundation of all governments, as ther? could be r.o social order or peaceful relations between the citizens of different countries without i. It is however, more emphatical ly true in relation to citizens of the United States.
