The COnmsrcial Buiiotin, Of Chi
cago, presents the returns from 2lO
counties in the northwest as to the con-
dition aud amount Of the spring wheat
crop. They say 1t seems evident that
the culture OF the winter wheat is com.
ing into greater favor in the northwest,
especially In the older agricultural dis
tricts. The farmers appear also to
have enlarged their corn area ut the ex-
pense Of the spring wheat. The yield
Of the latter is, however. greater than
in 1879. The old crop is sold very
close, much closer than usual. The
yield In the states OF Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, wiscon.
sin and Dakota territory, reckoned
on the basis OF the returns received, is
l4I, 13l 600 bushels Of spring wheat,
against 1876 .46G 600 last year, and the
average per acre is IL. 50 againgt lo.li
per cent. in 1879. The acreage is 46l,.
900 greater than in 1879.

noon, at the Fifth Avenue hotel, and
while there three enormou baskets Of
flowers were sent in by the wife Of n
millionaire banker. The actress was TO
choose the one that should he sent up
to her upon the stage In the evening.
She wa severely critical, turned them
around and finally. with delightful dis

That night, after the second act OF
"Romeo and Juliet - she was recalled.

AFRAID TO go HOME.

The Chinese government abandoned
all attempts TO enforce the return to
China OF Yung Kwai, the Chinese stu.
dent who graduated at the high school
In Springfield, and has since been ad-
mitted To Harvard, but who was order
ed home by his father for having EN-
braced the Christian religion. Kwai
started from Harvard with a number oil
companions, who had been ordered
home. for San Francisco, by way Of
Springfield, n few evenings since.
While the agent In charge was securing
through tickets, Yung kwai and n
Harvard sophmore named Taw, who
had been ordered home for some rea-
son, disappeared, taking their baggage
checks with them. They readily found
friends who kept them secreted for n
day, meanwhile employing u distin-
guished Boston lawyer TO confer with
Secretary Evarts TO ascertain their ex.
act status rs relating 10 their home gov
eminent. The reply OF Evarts, giving
extracts OF the treaty between our gov
eminent and China, Is just received,
and sets ut rest all fears Of the friends
OF these young men concerning their
liability to be forced back TO China and
prosecuted, and perhaps beheaded for
their religion.
The extracts are Us follows:
Chinese subjects shall enjoy all the
privileges Of public educational institu.
tons under the control OF the govern
ment OF the United states, which are
enjoyed In the respective countries by
the citizens or subjects OF the most fa-
vored nation. Chinese subjects in the
United States shall enjoy the entire
liberty OF conscience and shall be ex-
empt from all disability or persecution
on account OF their religious faith or
worship In either country. Both gov
ernments consequently agree to pass
laws making II a penal offense for n
citizen OF the United States or n Chinese
subject to take Chinese subjects either
to the United States or to any other
foreign country, or for u Chinese sub
ject or citizen OF the United States 10
take citizens Of the United States to
China or to any foreign country, with
out their free and voluntary consent res
pectively.
The Chinese commissioner at Har-
ward has already notified Kwai's
friends that they shall not modest him,
and the young man is quietly awaiting
the opening Of college.
