THE GREAT COMING WHEAT CROP.

The "Hon. Eli Perkins writes TO the New
York Spm from Kansas under date Of March
23d:
| am IA natural optmist. but even stole
could not fail to be moved if he should see the
magnificent prospect of the winter wheat crop
throughout the entire West. In riding 1000
miles through the winter wheat belt OF ONO,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, have
not seen two pieces Of bad wheat 1t all looks
magnificent. Everywhere, too the acreage Is
increased. In southern Illinois | see thous-
ands Of acres Of wheat where have not seen
it growing for several years. Kansas Is one
great wheat field There seems to have been
winter wheat mania in that state. Every Tar
mcr caught the disease last fall, and again dur
February and March, when the weather was
so warm IL second mania struck Iowa, Illinois,
Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas. Then, for
the first time for years, they sowcd large guam
titles of spring wheat in February, and to-day
we see, especially in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa
and Illinois, the astonishing anomaly of fields
of wintSr and spring wheat growing side by
side The winter wheat is waving in the wind,
beautiful yellow green, about six inches tall,
while the spring wheat is out of the ground
about two inches.
Farmers in Missouri and Kansas say that
they have never known spring wcat sowed in
February that did not produce good wheat and
a large crop.
predict that during the coming summer
the largest wheat crop ever produced in the
United States will tie harvested.
Minnesota and Wisconsin are now sowing
their spring wheat, and it is safe to say that
the Northwest will increase its wheat acreage

There is one circumstance which will be
Of great benefit to the government in case
Of an outbreak on the part of those Indians
of whom trouble is now expected, which
that there are large numbers of red men up
and down the Missouri river who, by rea-
son Of their attachment to their agents, and
through the influence Of the missions estab.
lished at different points, may be depended
upon for valiant and effective service
to Spotted Tail, Red Cloud or on the north
ern frontier. These civilized Indians will
protect the agencies at which they are To-
Gated, and many of them would take the
field in case Of general war. At many of
the agencies bodies Of native scouts have
organized, and those at Cheyenne river.
numbering about thirty. have 10 numerous
ways evinced their regard for their agent,
DR.. Cravens, and their value to the
government. The most significant
circumstance in this regard is the part
taken in the matter by Bull Eagle, who,

the DARDANELLES.
New York Herald.

THIS strait, anciently known as the Helles
pont, has taken its present name from the
four forts built at its entrance in the seventh
century-two by Mahomet II. and two by
Mahomet ~. These were constructed to
prevent the approach OF war ships to Con-
stantinople. Put in good condition and
armed with the artillery Of these days, they
would trouble the passage of any fleet,
though they have been repeatedly passed,
and might therefore make the pretence of
the Porte to cloee the strai: rather more than
diplomatic curiosity. This pretence has
been recognized BY treaties in 1909, 1s4l in
in 1856 and in 1871. In 1871 the confer.
ence Of London, called in consequence Of
Russis's Reputation, in 1870. of certain
clauses of the treaty of Paris, decreed the
continuation of this restriction as declared
in the treaty Of Paris, but conceded the
sultan's authority to permit the passage OF
the ships of the friendly powers in time OF
peace. This concession Of the sultan Eau
thority'' in his own dominions indicates
that the closure of the Dardanelles
had in course of time become Of greater in.
terest to another power than to Turkey, and
it was the consent Of that power-England
that was thus given to the Padishah. In
the circular of 1865, in regard to the pas
sage Of the Wabash, the sultan claimed te
exercise this restriction as a territorial right
1t was in that sense that the treaty of Paris
affirmed the right, as an ancient one; but
that treaty even deprived the sultan of the
right of consent in regard to it. There are
therefore, some rational and legal entangle'
ments that are rather queer. The Darda-
nelles are within the sultan's territory; but
they are closed, not by his will, but by thu
will Of remote naval power, and yet tina
power does not exercise authority there Al
it might by mere force on the high seas, bu
constitutes the sovereign sultan the execu
tive of its will and though it is not read.

calls out on Europe to maintain it and not Il
let victorious Russia encroach therein, be
cause this would be violation Of the privi
leges OF that poor old sultan.
