from all the surrounding country. Almost
any Sunday one can find the residents
of Mott street increased by 800 persons,
vet we never have occasion to make an ar
rest They behave themselves peacefully,
and never quarrel among themselves
Within my experience as Captain of this
precinct, have not arrested Chinaman
for assault and battery. There were more
than 1000 arrests in my precinct last year.
OF these, only thirty-two were Cinnamon
OF these, thirty were arrested either for
I keeping opium joints or smoking in them
The other two were arrested for firing
fire crackers. | know of only one Chinese
vagabond in this precinct, and only two in
the city. The one in my precinct has
never been arrested for drunkenness. He
simply gets comfortably filled with beer,
lies down among his friends and sleeps it
off. His countrymen regard him with sem
timents of pity, and feed him. Cinnamon
have not reduced the price of labor in the
East, simply because they have got hold of
only one ndustry-laundrying For this
they charge more than any of their rivals
Another thing decidedly in their favor is
the treatment of their wives. There is
only one Chinese woman in my precinct
and only two in this city. In the former
case her home life is most happy. A large
number OF well-to-do Cinnamon have
white wives, and live peacefully with them
We never have a complaint that China
man has beaten his wife.

Probable Wheat Yield of the United
States-A Poor Outlook
MILWAUKEE, June Sth.-S. w. Tallmadge
| has furnished his first annual estimate by
States of the probable wheat yield of the
| United States for the year 1885. The figures
are made up by States, with the assistance
of the different State Agricultural Depart
ments and other reliable authorities, and
are based upon the actual acreage sOwn and
present condition of the growing crops.
The estimate shows the probable yield of
winter wheat to be 231 900, 600 bushels of
spring wheat, 130,O00,000 bushels total
of winter and spring, 361 600 900. The
| United States Department of Agriculture
officially reports the crop of 1884: Winter
wheat, 100000 900 bushels; spring wheat,
143, 900 total of winter and spring,
| 513,0O0,0OO bushels. From these figures it
will be seen that the crop of 1885, compared
with that of 1884, will show a shortage in
winter wheat of 139,000000 bushels; spring
wheat, 100000 bushels; total shortage
152, 600, 600 The average wheat yield of
the United States for five years past is
461 DOT, 900 bushels. The estimate shows a
shortage compared with the average crop
for five years of 100000 bushels.
