CHICAGO. September 10th.-The CONNER
etaI Bulletin presents returns from 30 coun-
ties in the Northwest as to the condi-
ton and amount of the spring wheat
crop. They say it seems evident that the

older Agricultural districts. The farmers APP
pear also to have enlarged their corn area at
the expense Of 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 total yield in the States of
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas,
Wisconsin and Dakota Territory, reckoned
on the basis of returns received, is 147, 49,
600 bushels OF spring wheat, against 126, 1885,
600 last year, and the average per cent. is 13s,
against u 1-5 per cent. in 1879. The acreage

AiI About Chinese Students.
New YORK, September 10th.-A Tribune
Boston special says: The Chinese Govern
ment has abandoned all attempts to enforce
the return to China of Yung Kwai, the
Chinese student who graduated at the High
School in Springfield and has since been ad
mitted to Harvard, but who was ordered
home by his father for having embraced the
Christian religion. Kwai started from Hart
ford with 3 number of companions who have
been ordered home, for San Francisco by way
of Spring field. a few evenings since, while
the agent in charge was securing through
tickets, young Kwai and a Harvard sopho-
more named Taw, who had been ordered
home for the same reason, disappeared, taking
their baggage checks with them. They
readily found friends who kept them secreted
for a day, meanwhile employing dis
tinguished Boston lawyer to confer with
Secretary Evarts to ascertain their exact
status as relates to their home Government
The reply of Evarts, giving extracts of the
treaty between our Government and China,
Is just received, and sets at rest all the 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 as follows:
Chinese subjects shall enjoy all the privileges OF
public educational institutions under control OF the
Government Of the United States which are enjoyed
in the respective countries by the cit zens and the
subjects Of the most favored nations. Chinese SUBJ
Jects IL the United States shall enjoy entire liberty
OF conscience, and shall be exempt from all disabil-
ity persecution account of their religious faith
or worship in either country. Both Governments
consequently agree to pass laws making it penal
offense for citizen of the United States Chinese
subjects, 10 take Chinese subjects either to the
United States to any other foreign country with
out their free and voluntary consent, respectively
The Chinese Commission at Hartford has
already notified Kwai's friends that they will
not modest him, and the young man is quietly
awaiting the opening of the college term.
Treatment of Chinese i'm New York.
NEW YORK, September 10th.-A Times
editorial says 1t is disgrace to the civil
Kation of this Republic that just complaint
should be made of the treatment which |
members of the Chinese Embassy are CON-
PEELED to endure whenever they appear in |
the streets Of New York. That they are |
pelted with stones and hooted at by young |
" Russians many citizens will testify. |
L. this outrageous conduct copy of the !
habits of the California hoodlum. But there |
is no Chinese question" here to infame |
the hatred of rowdies and loafers, and if |
there were, our g finest body of police in the
world should be able to protect the
strangers. 1t is said that when the police
men are appealed to by members of the EN-
bassy they only laugh and do nothing. If
our foreign born policemen do not defend
our foreign visitors from insult, American
citizens, who have little manliness left in
them, should know the reason why.
