Below we present dispatches from the
maj part of Minnesota and some sections
of Wisconsin, showing the condition of the
crops and the progress of the harvests up
to yesterday afternoon. They present, as
1t were, photograph of the grsnary of the
world, taken instantaneousiy- faithful pic
ture of the harvest fields laid before the
readers of the GLOBE.
An inspection of the dispatches will prove
source of qualification. All along the line
of the Northern Pacific road the wheat is
represented to be in excellent condition,
having suffered little if any damage from
the recent unpropitions weather-which in
deed does not appear to have reached
chat section. The yield promises to be very
large and of excellent quality. In eome
sections the harvest is already i'll progress,
and the farmers are we'll pleased with the
product of their toll. Along the line of tho
st. Paul g. Pacific railroad some little dam
age has been done by the rains, grain being
somewhat lodged. 1t is being harvested,
however with but little extra labor, and al
though the berry is not as plump as could
be desired, the yield promises to be consid-
erably above the average, and will grade No.
! or good quality of No. 2. liz Che south
ern part of the State, along the line of the
Sioux City railroad there seems to have
been numerous local storms that
have lodged The grain badly, and
IN some sections rust has made its appear
ance. Considerable difficulty is being ex-
perienced IN the harvesting, and it seems
probable that there will be loss in that
section OF from 20 to 20 per cent in the
yield. But as the prospect previous to the
storms was unusually bright, there seems to
be no reason to fear but the yield will be
nearly if not quite an average one in guam
tity, and almost average as to quality. From
other sections of the State and from that
part Of Wisconsin tributary to st. Paul, the
reports are somewhat contradictory, the pre-
ponderance of testimony being favorable to
fair crop. while in some localities the indi-
cations point to an extraordinarily bountifpl
yield.
Altogether there seems to be no cguse as
yet for solicitude. The golden grain is be-
ing garnered as speedily as possible, and
within ten days, with ordinarily fair
weather, the bulk of the crops will be be-
yond the possibility OF injury from the the
elements, if farmers execute due care in
stacking. Taking into consideration the in
creased acreage sown, and esti rating the
injury from all causes at Is per ceut.-a
very liberal figure-we are safe in predicting
that the wheat crop of Minnesota for the
present year will fully equal, if it does not
exceed, tho enormous product of 1877.

Winter wheat is nearly all harvested. So is
barley. The former is in fine condition, the
latter mostly colored. Oats lodged, but do
ing well. Corn backward, but now growing
finely. Will be . fine crop if there is no early
frosts. Rye good. Indications of potato rot
in some places is quite disastrous. On all low
lands the crops are injured greatly. On up
lands very little damage.

MADISON. Wis. July 26.-Farmers in ST.
Croix county are generally at work at their har-
vest. About on9ahalf of them commenced cut
ting on Monday last, but in some localities the
wheat will not do to cut before next Monday.
The damage from smut and rust in some cases
is very considerable, but will not injure the
average crop of the county over 10 or Is per
cent. The weather this week has been fair,
and should it continue the wheat that is ready
to cut next week will be of niue b better quail
ity than that cut earlier, as the early cut wheat
will be somewhat injured in quality owing to
| the extreme heat and rains of few days since.
1t is quite likely that with even good weather
until the harvest is secured that one-half, at
least of the wheat, will fail to go No. 1. From
present indications the average yield for this
county will be about fifteen bushels per acre.

JacAey o,un srr,nx Races,

SACRAMENTO, June 3l.-The
Spring meeting of the Sacramento
Jockey Club opened for week.
racing to-day. The weather was
fine and the track in excellent con-
dition. Attendance light. The
race, running, for three-year- % Ids,
mile heats, was between the sor-
rel colt Mark l. and the bay colt
Frank Hastings, both being Mon.
day stock. The purse was $780,
$500 to first horse and $50 and $40
respectively to second and third.
Hastings had few friends and was
in heavy flesh. Nevertheless he
made u good race and came
out, though loser, advanced in the
general estimation. Mark l.. took
two straight heats in l. As and List.
In both heats Hastings stood close
upon Mark LIS flank, falling off
only on the upper turns and re-
gaining his place OH the home
stretch, to fall off two open lengths
on the second and one on the first
heat as the score was passed. The
race tomorrow Is a trot for the
three minute class.
The Jockey Club has excellent
arrangements at the track, has re-
duced prices ne.half, made the
grand stand free and has plenty of
accommodating ushers and officers.
The whole management is so no.
ticeably good as to be worthy OF
special mention.

PORTLAND, Ogn., June 3.-The

to the number of tickets in the

ing and trading it is impossible at
present to make any estimate as to
the result. 1t is expected that by
tomorrow evening some couclu
sion can be arrived at.

WASHINGTON, June 81. - Ed

dietary Committee, to-day submit
ted an amendment to be offered at
the proper time, with the recon-
mendation of that committee as an
additional section to the House
bill which appropriates 5000 for
the expenses of the Potter Investi-

ton provides that $50, 900 be placed
to the credit of the Contingent
fund of the Senate, to be applied
towards defraying the eX-
penses of such Investigations

already or may hereafter be direct

WASHINGTON, June Sd. All
doubts as to the fate of the two Pa
ctic Coast timber land bills were
set at rest to-day by the official
announcement made to the Senate
that the President had approved
them. Although they immediate
ly go upon the statute books as
laws of to-day's date, they will not
become effectual for practical pur-
poses until the regulations and in
structions required by their terms,
to be prescribed and issued by the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office and the Secretary of the In
terror, shall have been received at
the various local land offices,
which will probably require about
a fortnight. One of these bills
provides for the sale of timbe
lands in California, Oregon, Ne.
vada and Washington Territory,
and also for the individual use of
timber from the public lands by
miners and ogriculturists without
purchasing it. The other bill au-
thoriZes timber to be taken for
mining and domestic purposes only
from mineral lands in Nevada,
Colorado and the Territories.

Terrific Storm.
OMAHA, Neb., June 3d.-Mrs. p.

ceeded this morning to a pond and
deliberately drowned herself and
daughter, aged twelve.
The storm of Saturday, although
severe at Omaha, did little dam
age, but at various points in Ne
braska, Iowa and Missouri it was
terrific, causing great loss of prop
erty and destroying many lives,
reports of which were received
here to-day. A house at Council
Bluffs was struck by lightning and
two persons paralyzed; an opera
tor in the Chicago and Rock Island
office was also paralyzed by light
ming. Washouts occurred on all
the Eastern railroads and trains

layed until evening.

AN effort is being made to press
Mr.. William Bowden, a gentleman
who was at one time editor of
Santa Ana paper, for nomination
in to-day's Democratic Conven-
ton as one of the delegates to the
Constitutional Convention. Fro m
an affidavit which appears in our
local columns it will be seen that
Mr.. Bowden is yet an alien, By so
staunch and reliable Democrat as
Mr.. Theodore Z. Lynill we are in
formed that Mr.. Bowdeu's caudi-
dacy is the result of y Republican
conspiracy to belittle the Demo-
cratic ticket. Mr.. Bowden Is not
entitled to such an honor. He is
new in Los Angeles county, he is
young, he ought to be willing to
allow older and more experienced
men to step to the front for so deli
cate and responsible tosition.
Waving all this, lie lacks ability
to fill the place. The Democratic
party, in such a crisis, when its
attitude is challenged and is being
nicely observed, cannot afford to go
into the throes of labor aud emerge
with-a Bowden.
