Condition OF IIrnna.

CHICAGO, June 1s.-The newly ap-
pointed United States commissioner of
agriculture, Norman ]. Colman, is here
to attend the nurserymen's convention.
In an interview he says that the outlook
for crops is generally good. with the ex-
ceptIon OF winter wheat, of which there
would be but tWo-thirds of crop. This
deficiency would, however, nearly
be made up by the production of spring
wheat, which, since the introduction
of the roller process, makes as good,
if not better flour, than that produced
from the winter variety. He had every
reason To believe there would be a large
crops of corn, oats and barley. and in
fact all cereals. Referring to pleuro-
pneumonia among cattle IN Missouri Mr..
Coleman said it had entirely disappeared,
although he kept his men
there yet to guarantee against a fresh
outbreak. In speaking of the admins
tration, he said the president would sup
port him In all his new ventures He
did not consider his department pOliti-
cal one-appolntments would be made

pOintee. AS yet but few changes had

the former fixed change, while the
latter would depend on the distance.
James Harding, another of the state
