KANSAS WHEAT DOOMED.
Very DiscOuraging Reports = Corn
the Only Hope Left,

TOPEKA, June 1.-Much anxiety is ex-
pressed over the disastrous reports in re-
gard to the condition of the wheat crop
in this state. The secretary of the state
board of agriculture said to-day that his
June report was not yet ready but would be
out Friday night. He refused to give
figures, but said the news had been very
discouraging, that the best wheat in many
instances would be total failure on
account of the Hessian-hy and chinch-
bug. Many wheat fields that, up to 10
days ago, promised half crop are now
proving worthless.
This" said the secretary, sis the
worst failure in wheat that Kansas has
ever experienced In long talk, in
which he declined TO give official figures,
he said it was no use in Disgusting the
fact that in many localities farmers would
not get their seed. His information was
that very large area of the wheat, which
ut his last report was considered promis-
ing, was now either being plowed up or
the cattle had been turned in upon it.
MIR. Croley, the manager of the largest
mill in this city, said that he had lust re-
turned from tour of the wheat districts
and that, in his opinion, the entire har-
vest would not exceed Is, 900, 900 bushels.
II was learned to-day that the secretary OF
the state board will reduce his April es-
Inmates 30 per cent, which will make the
estimated yield about $4,000, 900, OF
about 81 1000, 900 less than last year. Corn
now is the only hope for Kansas this year.

THURSDAY NIGHTS STORM.
Evidence That "A ScOw and Five
NEen We're Lost Near Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 6.-The scow Nellie
Winlack and her crew Of five men are num-
bered among the victims Of Tuesday nights
storm. The little craft has been missing
ever since that time, when she left Port
Clinton to return here with u cargo of sand.
Port Clinton is only 20 miles north of
Chicago, and the Winlack ought to have
covered the distance In less than three
hours, but she has not been heard Of since
she cleared from Clinton. The Winlack
left Chicago Monday last, and reached
Clinton during the afternoon. Her
crew worked part OF Monday
night and all day Tuesday load
ing her with gravel from the beach.
Shortly after the fist squall in the evening,
her anchor was weighed and her sails set
and she was started on her homeward trip.
How far she sailed is not known, but II is
believed she was not far from Chicago when
the storm burst upon her. 1t was from the
northeast and was accompanied by Il big
sea and the Winlack was too deeply loaded
to withstand 1t even II the precaution oil
taking in her canvas had been observed.
Mrs. Hansen wife of Capt. Peter Hansen
who was in charge of the vessel has visited
all the tug offices, the barge Office and q
number of newly arrived vessels and made
inquiries from all about her husbands
vessel but without any tidings and is nearly
crazy. The crew of the Winlack consisted
of five men all residents of this city. Tht
Winlack must have gone down very close t.
land otherwise some evidence of the wrecl
would have been picked up by passing
vessels. The weather has been 80 foggN
ever since, however, that any ordinnr,
wreckage would be overlooked.

Being upon the Foreign Affairs Com

when the Trent affair occurred, the writer
attended a dinner given by the Secretary
at this then HAPPY home. This was at a
time when men held their breath in trepi-
datiOn lest Great Britain and the powers
Of Europe might make the Trent matter

ton Of Southern independence. Some
feared that disparted republic would
have to give way before the jealous en-
croachmeuts Of those who sought to di-
vide our country as they endeavOred 70

writer: my young friend, when | was of
