THE WHEAT CROP.
Its Condition, as Reported by
Agricultural Departments,
IN NEBRASKA, DAKOTA, WISCONSIN,
Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio
and Pennsylvania the Ma
iority of the
REPORTS OF AGENTS UNFAVoRAsLE.

MILWAUKEE, April 27.-S. W. Tsllmsdge
has received to-day the following reports
from the Agricultural Department and
United States Statistical Agents as regards
the present condition of the wheat crop:
Reports show that no improvement has
been made in the condition, and the
prospects in the principle winter wheat
States are much more unfaVorable than
shown in the April report. Seed.
ipe in Nebraska and Dakota of
spring wheat is about completed, while
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota have only
commenced and will not finish work until
well into May, which is unusually late.
From present indications the area sown to
spring wheat will not be increased over last
year, and with backward season and late
seeding the indications are spring wheat
crops cannot equal the production OF last
year by several million bushels. Mr.. Tall
madge will make his first estimate on the
total production of the United States by
States about the first of June.
Indiana-Alex. Heron, Secretary of the
Indian State Board of Agricultural. There
is no improvement to report in the condi-
ton of the wheat crop of this State; rather
worse than my last report. Thousands of
acres of wheat will be plowed up and
seeded TO spring grains"
Missouri. W. Sanborn, Secretary, says
Il cannot report any improvement in the
condition of wheat. Reports are not as
good as April l. Considerable of the
wheat is being plowed up.
Ohio-W. |. Chamberlain, secretary, says:
"For the past three weeks it looked darker
than our april report, but now it is bright
ering under the fine growing weather.
Fields are growing up better than was ex-
pected, but as yet | cannot raise or lower
the April estimate"
observation-disclosures ]. Edge, secre-
tary, says: THAT one week of warm
weather has improved the chances of the
wheat crop, and would now estimate that
with fair average weather until harvest we
may expect crop of about twelve million
bushels. The last two days have dried the
surface somewhat, but not enough to do
the roads much injury.

New YORK, April 27.-Captain Thomas
Phelan, complainant again1t Short who
stten pied to assassinate him in Rossas
Office, disappointed the Irishman of the
Radical dS nsinite school by returning cas-
TO prosecute the case. His roOeat journey
from Kansas City to appear in Court
against Short came to cautious end tor
the time, two days ago, on the New Jersey
side of the Hudson. He sought secluded
and, as he supposed, secure place of refuge.
and decided not to take the risk OF
appearing in New York before it
was Necessary. Three detectives
who are said to be among those who have
done work in this country for the British
Consul in matters relating to the dynamite
gang were Capt. Phelan's companions and
guards during the journey east: They and
their convoy, it is alleged, noted OF different
stages of the trip that two men were keep,
ing too close to them to be entirely chance
fellow travellers. Ii was concluded that
tie men were actually in pursuit OF aud
watching Capt Phelan. Long before Jer-
sew City was reached there was no doubt
among any of Capt Phelsns party tbs
thew were under the surveillance of men
who Represented his enemies. When they
arrived in Jersey City it was thought thai
The vigilance of the two shadows had been
eluded, and for two days Captain Philan
rested in fancied security. Yesterday,
however, he became convinced that his
hiding place had been discovered, and that
from the house across the street he had
been carefully watched. He took counsel
of his friends, and they were nervous over
these movements of the suggestion. DE
