THE CROPS.

SAN Francisco, CAL, July IS
The crop reports indicate the wheat
yield to be very heavy. .
CHICAGO, ILLS, July 15.-The
latest returns from the agricultural
districts tributary to this market,
although conflicting, seem to estab-.
lish pretty clearly that in the whole
northwest the. winter wheat crop is
saved in good order and with about
an average yield; and the spring
wheat crop, as rule, has less to the
acre than last year, but the increase
of acreage will make the yield somes
what greater than that of 1879,
provided the weather becomes a lit
tie more favorable.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-The fol-
lowing statement of the condition
of the corn ard wheat crops was
issued by the department of agri-
culture to-day:
CoRN.-The increase in the area
planted in corn is one per cent. over
that planted last year. The aver-
age condition of the crop for the
whole country is the highest for
many years, and is 100, being
seven per cent. more than last year
at the same time. There are some
complaint of drought in the south
Atlantic states, while in the valley
of Mississippi and those states north
Of the Ohio river there is complaint
of too much rain. The Pacific states
report a very high condition. (
WHEAr.-The general average o.
winter wheat for July 1st, 1880
was 95, against 81 for July 1st
1879. It improved slightly during
June. The whole south falls of
nearly a fourth, but the heavy winter
wheat region north Of the Ohio
river rules high at SO. The middle
states are 8 per cent. above tn
average and the Pacific 4 per cent
West of the Mississippi the crol
averages "a against SO last year
Spring wheat averages 81, same al
in July, 1879. This shows a grea
decline in July, when the averag'
was 81. The New England state
average SO, middle states 93, nortl
of the Ohio 96; west of the Missis
sippi the general average is 80
Minnesota being 101, while Nebrask'
falls to 81; Iowa stands at 81; OF

Black caps were made from black
handkerchiefs. The colors were to be
hoisted at the moment to give solem-
nifty to the occasion, and then the
gun was to be fired as signal at the
ropes to pull. Spencer wanted to
give tho signal, but afterward he re-
quested Captain Mackenzie to do it
for him. When all was ready, the
condemned men sitting in their ham,
mocks, awaiting the dreadful sum-
mons to another world, the gun belch-
ed forth its thunder, the men at the
three ropes drew in, and the three
unfortnnates shot aloft, the sudden
contact with the blocks above break
ing their necks, and hurrying them
into the presence of the grea. white
throne. Two Of the men were hung
to one OF the main yards, and the
third to the other. The bodies were
sewn up in sailcloth. the feet weigh
ed with shot, and the earthly re-
mains of the reckless youths were
slid on plank through the portfolios
and disappeared in the depths of ihe
ocean.
When New York was reached a
court of inquiry, composed of Com
modores Stewart, Jacob, Jones and
Dallas, examined the case, and ap-
proved the course Of Captain Mack
enzie. A court martial was also held,
Commodore Downee being president,
and the action of Captain Mackenzie
was endorsed. Captain Burlington
says that after reaching New York
the ship physician shot himself,
throgh it did not appear that he had
been concerned in the mutiny. Capt.
Burlington knew of no other surviv-
ors of the crew. A colored man en-
ployed at the Union depot, who died
last summer, was on board the Somers
at the time. 1t is probable that there
are some living, as the crew, which
consisted of eighty persons, was COM
posed of only eight able-bodied sea
men, the remainder being boys of the
first and second class. The excite
ment over the affair in the United
States was intense, and opinions were
given for and against Captain Mack
course.
