WESTERN MEN WANTED.

a recent dispatch from Washington
says:
Senators Plumb of Kansas and Vest OF
Missouri have had an extended confer
ence with the president respecting the
appointment of commission under the
recent act of congress providing for the
extinguishment of the Indian title &c
the Oklahoma lands. The particular
point made by these gentlemen with the
president was that he should select
western men for members of this com
mission; pereOns of high character, whC
understood the subject matter in all it,
details.
That is the ticket exactly. There arr
numerous men in Kansas and othe
western states that are posted on Okla
homs, the Indian Territory and IndifI
affairs generally. 1t is q well know
fact that the ideas Of eastern men, how
ever intellectual and well-informed Of
general topics, are often extremely crud
on the subjects above mentioned. tn
majority of that commission ought to b
composed of weIl-informed wester
gentlemen of high character.

Mexioan BANK Embarrassments.

CITY MEXICO, June 25.-There was a
protrscted meeting last night of the Ma
tional bank of Mexico, at which Senior
Dublan, minister of flnance,Iwas present
and Intercepted as to whether arrange
ment could be made whereby the bank
might be exempted from the operations
OF the lay decreed on Monday last. The
minister replied that nothing could be
done, as the law had been decreed by
full cabinet, presided over by
the president of the Republic.
The National bank Is badly embarrassed
and it Is predicted that it cannot survive
this shock The London bank Is quite
unaffected by the law. There is talk
that the National bank, Central railroad
and National railroad will join in
common protest to the government, but
not until their Saturdays meeting, when
1t will be determined on what grounds
this can be accomplished. The National
banks capital was largely held in France,
where it is backed by the Franco Egyp-
tian bank. To-day rumOrs have been
current that the French government
might make q diplomatic protest
In behalf of the bank. The question has
also been raised regarding the attitude
OF the United States government, should
the American railroads be seri ouSly en-
barrassed. Minister Jackson is in To-
luca, where his wife is il, and could not
be interviewed by interested Americans.
Large German mercantile houses have
bought up custom house certificates at q
discount, and the point has been raised
in the German circles that the home
government Is likely to make diplomatic
inquiry why these certificates have been
dIscTedited. Regarding the question
of possible interference by the
United States government. 1t is said
in legal :circies American railroads are
Mexican corporations under the terms
of their respective concessions and can
not appeal to Washington. 1t is report
cd that the government will. in few
days, publish a new scheme for the ad-
justment of the English debt, and it IS
expected that favorable result will fol-
low on the London market. The imme-
diate effect of the financial coup de etat
here must be beneficial. The govern
ment will have more ready money at Its
command, now that 81 per cent of the
revenues have been released from the
burden of subsidies. A few weeks ago
the government had but little money and
could not pay its employees, and bust
ness here was greatly depressed. The
merchants now look tor an improved
trade and are likely to order more ex-

Talmage has prepared his monthly crop
report and the second estimate on the
probable wheat yield of the United
States for 1885. He says there is nc
longer any question as TO damage and
loss 10 the winter wheat In this country.
A falling of OF 100, OOO, 600 bushels IN
winter wheat from last year is calsmi.
ty and unprecedented in the history Of
wheat raising IN the United States. The
present condition of spring wheat Is
good, but there must be favorable wealth
or until harvest TO produce the amount
of wheat shown n the pres
emit estimates, as they are
based upon the present condition
The estimates show the probable yield
of spring wheat 70 be 121 .0O0. 000 bush
els; winter wheat, $4,000, 900; total
spring and winter, 331 ,O00. 900 bushels.
From these figures il will be seen thet
the crop of 1885, as Compared with that
OF 1884, will show q shortage in winter
wheat of 16O, O00, 600 bushels; spring
wheat, $4,000, 600 bushels; total short
ace. 1S2, 600 600 bushels. The average
wheat WELD Of the United States for i've

with the average of i've years, Of $780,
