Northwestern Crops.

CHICAGO, May 17.-Reports from large
number of points in northern Dakota fully
confirm the estimates of an increased wheat
acreage in that section and On both sides of
the Red river valley. The increase ranges
from 10 to 80 per cent. and averages 80 be-
tween the Mississippi river and the Red river.
In north Dakota the increase ranges from 25
to so per cent. In the newly opened territory
along the Northern Pacific between the Red
river and DEVILS lake the increase can hardly
be estimated in percentage. The wet prairies
of last year now contain thousands of acres of
wheat. The weather is favorable and the
work is progressing finely. Equally favorable
reports come from southern Minnesota.
Much more corn will be planted than hereto

PENNSYLVANIA NOMINATIONS.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE nomination OLA.
j. Kaufman to be the collector of internal
revenue in the Sixth district Of Pennsylvania
was discussed at some length in to-day's ex-
ecutive session by the Pennsylvania senator's,
and was confirmed without division. Mitchell
contended 1t might be rejected, on the ground
that it involyed the displacement of a faithful
public officer, and in violation of the prlnci.
pies of civil service reform. He also insisted
that it's confirmation by the votes of the Re-
publican senators would be contrary to the
civil service resolution of the Harrisburg Re-
publican platform.
Cameron, in reply, submitted document
to show that Collector Wiley is an unpopular
officer, and that his term has expired. He
therefore claims there was no good ground
for disputing the right of the president to
make new appointment.
The nomination of JACKSON as internal
revenue collector for the Allegheny district
was not taken up.
