GENERAL GRANTS CONDITION.
He Passes an Almost Sleepless Night, the Re-
suit of Hard Work on His History.

New YORK, June 10-General Grant passed
an almost sleepless night DIR. Douglas said
this morning, that it was not because of pain
but that it was the result of steady thought and
application to literary work yesterday The
local conditions were unchanged
General Logan spent three hours in chat with
General Grant, and lunched with the family.
During Senator Logan's visit Colonel Batchelder
called with letter from the Secretary of War
to get the Grant trophies, to be taken to Wash
ington for safe keeping. Colonel Batchelder
was informed that the property would be turned
over to him as soon as it could be prepared.
Drs Douglas, Shrady and Sands met in consult
alton this afternoon. The Generals throat was
examined, and their conclusion was that the
swelling inside the throat had decreased since
their consultation, while the swelling outside
had increased. The Generals condition was not
materially changed, and the liberated parts at
the base of the tongue showed no marked dis
position to spread.
A special correspondent thus writes of Grants
condition: ''The General is a very sick man. He
bears up heroically, but his appearance shocks
those who see him for the first time since he was
taken i'll "a great swelling, bigger than mans
fst-almost twice as big, in fact-has appered
on his neck under his right ear. His face
has lost little of its natural freshness,
but his body is frightfully emaciated, and
his bony wrists and hands betray the fact to
visitors. Every now and then, as he talks his
throat becomes filled with the discharge from
the sore in the back of his mouth, and he has to
stop talking and rid himself of the troublesome
accumulation 1t is supposed that the swelling
in the side of his neck is sympathetic result
of the trouble in his throat The doctors still
insist that the General is slowly dying of the
cancerous growth there. General Grant spends
his nights, and nearly the whole of every day.
in the second-story front room. He sits by the
padded, leather. covered chair That chair is
also his bed, for he cannot lie down He sleeps
in nearly an upright position. Were he to lie
down he would choke"

OFFICIAL CROP REPORT.
Returns to the Agricultural Bureau Indicate
Yield of S60, 600, 900 Bushels of Wheat

WAs4INGToN June 10.-The June crop report
of the Agricultural Department estimates the
total wheat crop of the country at 36G, 900, 600
bushels, of which 100000 is winter and
153, 600, 600 spring The condition of winter
wheat is lower than ever before in June, being
62, against 20 in May. The condition of spring
whsat is 81.
The June report of the Department Of Agri-
culture will make an increase in the cotton area
of to per cent The condition is: Virginia,
107 per cent; North Carolina, 102 South Caro-
lima, lob; Georgia, l04; Florida, 102; Alabama,
103; Louisiana, 1O7; Mississippi, LOG; Texas, no.
Arkansas, 100; Tennessee, 1Ol. The total area
exceeds Is. 600 acres. The plant is healthy,
its growth nearly average, and the stand good.
In grass the general average is 80, which
is higher than in the three preceding
years in June. There is an unusual uniformity
in condition, only Tennessee showing less than
so. The State averages are: Virginia, SO; North
Carolina, 93; South Carolina, So; Georgia, 95
Florida SO; Alabama go; Mississippi, 92
Louisiana, So; Texas, 80; Arkansas, 81; Tennes-
see. 49,
The condition of winter wheat is reported
lower than ever before in June; the general per-
centage has declined from 70 in May to 62.
The averages of the principal States are: New
Ork, IL; L pennsylvania, OF Onlo, 90; michigan,
94; Indiana, 63; Illinois, 40: Missouri, 81 Kan
sas, 56; California SO. In some States there
has been a greater loss of area than was
anticipated in previous reports. The average
yield will evidently be less than ten bushels per
acre. The probable product of the winter wheat
States, according to these returns, is reduced to
about 207. .000 900 bushels, but none of the Terri
tories are included in the winter-wheat area.
The report of spring wheat is more favorable.
The disposition, last autumn to reduce its
BREADTH on account of the low price, was
checked by decrease of the winter wheat area,
and later by the British Russian war rumors.
Substantially the same area has been seeded AS
last year. about IL, 600, 600 acres, in Northern
New England Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa. Ne
braska, and all the Territories. The percentage
of last years area is 95 in Wisconsin,
SO in Minnesota, 1O2 in Iowa. 98
in Nebraska, and l03 in Dakota. The condition
of spring wheat is 81, and indicates crop of
about 153, 000 600 bushels. The average for
Wisconsin is 49, Minnesota 81. Iowa 100, Ne
braska 1922 Dakota 10l. The present report,
therefore, indicates wheat crop of 800, 600, 900
bushels %, 000, 900 bushels smaller than that of
1881.
The general condition of rye is 83. The area
Of barley is nearly the same as in 1884, and the
average condition is SO. The acreage of oats has
increased per cent, and the average condition
is "a Corn will be reported in July; voluntary
returns indicate an increase of area.

THE APACHE RAIDERS.
General Crook Urges that Preparations for
! Hostile Operations Be Vigorously Pushed.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-In telegram dated
Fort Bayard, n NJ, the 6thinst., Colonel Brad
ley states that it is certain the hostile Apaches
are making for Mexico by way of STEMS Peak
range.
Under date of Deming, June s. General Crook
telegraphs:
Preparations to operate against the hostiles,
in accordance with my telegram of the 9th,
should be made with the least possible delay. In
my Judgment IS rule, the Indians thus far
have only killed citizens to get arms and arnmu-
milton, bat if, after some of their number have
been killed. the Indians are driven back into the
United States. there is no estimating the
damage they will do. The number of peo-
pie living in the mountains, and their property
interests have increased enormously since the
time Of Victorio so that if the Indians meet
among these mountains again, such wall will
go up as was never before heard. An early reply
is requested, which will serve to instruct me as
to the intentions of the government, but desire
to reiterats that delay is extremely dangerous"
In transmitting this dispatch, General Pope
says that he has complied with General Crooks
request to the extent of his power, and submits
the matter for the action of the War Depart
ment. In another dispatch from Deming, Gen.
Crook says
tFrom the report Of Lieutenant Davis,
Just received, it is probable that all the In
dians have crossed the railroad, having got
past the troops in Stems Pass, except party of
six or seven bucks and few women and chill
dren, under Mongus, who left the main party in
the Mogolan mountains. This party is now west
of Hillsboro. moving south, with Captains Scha-
fer and Wallace on the trail The scouts think
that the main part of the women and children are
already in Mexico, though it is possible that Law
ton may intercept them. have some hopes that
Crawford may be able to intercept some of
them. Davis has orders to join Crawford
soon as possible, who will then follow the trail
into Mexico"
