minnesota Crop Estimates.

The crop guessers, as usual are early in
the field, and without going into details here
are the results, as summarized by the Pioneer
The acreage ANA probable yield OF corn in
Minnesota, has nearly doubled, and that Of
oats, barley and other crops largely in
creased. This accountSI for the fact that
with total aonltivated acreage largely i'll
creased the a'rsage Of wheat has fallen uff
from 1903, 1854 in 1881 to 2,472, 9o9 in
1882 Notwithstanding this decrease in
,acreage, however, the Increased pro-
fductivelless ofthis year jr1stifes the ex pee
tation of a largely increased aggregate yield.
Estimates OF yield per acre range from, twelve
to twenty bushels The average OF all the
estimates is l5.4S bushels per acre, which
gives probable yield for the State of 80, 1885,
662 bushels or trite short Of the 10 900, 900
bushels which has been the anxious goal of
the Minnesota crop guessers for many years.
The only serious peril not yet passed is a
wet harvest. Such a:calamity as that which
s6Vertool1 the wheat harvest in August of last
year might cut the aggregate crop down by
several millions of Bushels and cause ali
equal OF greater loss by lowering the grade

The Times correspondent announce,
that DeFreycinet has been Entrusted
with the formation of a cabinet.
GsmbettA's speech in the Chamber o.
Deputies yesterday, was very eloquent
and WIGS spplauded even By his adver'
ssries. especially the part in which he re.
pudiated the insinustions that he asprad
tothe dictatorship. After the speech, he
proposed that the clause in favor Of the
seruttn de liste be inserted in the COM
mittee's resolution, that the final para
graph Of the resolution which govern
me- OPPOSED. namely: the one asserting
that 1t is expedient to revise constitu-
tionsl laws, be voted upon first. The
proposal was made principally in the
hope that the Cham Der would not satisfy
itself by reversing the decision it had just
recorded on Barodet's amendment in
favor of the revision of tie constitution in
its entirety. The Chamber adopted the
paragraph by a vote Of 2S2 to 227. Gam
beta then announced his resignation.
BY this maneuvre he appears before the
country as having been overthrown for
opposing wild scheme for indefinite re-
form. Other votes on the bill we're
taken subsequently. After the sitting
