SPRING WHEAT IN BETTER SHAPE.
The report of spring VIII at is more fav-
Orable. The disposition last autumn to re-
duce its breadth, on account of the low
price, was checked by the loss of winter
wheat area, and later by British Russian
war runOrs. Substantially the same area
has been seeded az last year; about eleven
million acres in Northern New England,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and
all the Territories. The acreage compares
with that of 1884 as follows: Maine, 9S;
New Hampshire, 81: Vermont, 101: Wis
consin, %: Minnesota, 90; Iowa, 1903: Ari-
IONA, 101; Dakota, 1903: Idaho, l05; Mon
tar2, 10; New Mexico, los: Utah, 1O2;
Washington, 104. The total may exceed
eleven million by one hundred thousand or
more. The report of condition is quite
favorable II compares with that of last
year in the principal States as follows:

The fact that Sir Henry Drsmmond
Wolff is an ardent admirer of Ismail
Pasha, the ex-khedive, is used as an ar
gument in favor of the theory that siren
uous efforts will now be made to depose
the son and restore the father to the
throne. There is no doubt that ISmaiI
is resorting to every means in his power
TO accomplish this result; but inasmuch
as his inordinate ambition and reckless
extravaganza brought so much ruin in
the country, it is not believed that his
scheme will be successful.

The District Offices.

NO EARLY CHANGES CONTEMPLATED.
Those who have seen President-elect Cleveland
during the past few days do not bring back much
encouragement for the applicants for the offices
within his gift i'm this District 4 well-known
democrat, who saw Mr.. Cleveland on Saturday
for half an hour, said to STAR reporter this
morning: Il do not believe there will be more
than one change in the Federal offices in this Dis
trict before the commissions of those now in eX-
Pire. That exception will probably be the U. $
marshal, whose relations to the President have
always been something more of personal than
an official character. Marshal McMchaels s
commission does not, however, expire till De
cember 4, 1856. The present Adjutant General
Farnsworth. of the state of New York, il was
generally conceded in New York city, would
succeed him. The pension agent, who holds the
best office in the District estimated at $4,000
year,, has just been appointed, and,
as he is legless soldier, viii hardly be
removed, except for cause, during his term Of
office; Postmaster Conger's term does not expire
till December 20. 1857; Register Ramsdell's
office runs indefinitely, and he will probably
not be disturbed, If for no other reason that IL
has always been deemed a courtesy TO an oI-
posing candidate TO grant him personally an
official favor. Ii Mr.. Blaine (Mr. Ramsdeil be-
ing his personal friend and biographer) should
request his retention, he would hardly be re-
moved. Fred. Douglass, as recorder of deeds,
may be retained, as Gov. Cleveland does not
desire to antagonZe him, though, when Doug
lass commission expires, which will be soon, he
may appoint his successor, and retain Mr.. Bruce
as register of the Treasury. That is, AT least,
the way it is talked over. As to the health Off
Ger, DIR. Townshend has made a good official, is
| a democrat any way and the brother of prom
inent democrat in Congress. 1t is not likely
that he will be disturbed. Under Mr.. Cleve-
lands general civil service declaration, reitera-
ted in conversation on saturday, District Conn
missioner Edmonds would be continued. Dis
trict Attorney Worthington, unless some good
reason appears in the meantime, will, doubt
less, serve TO the end of his commission, which
lasts nearly three years more"

this morning when the general court-martiaI
which is 10 try him on the charge of uniawfplly
obtaining and disposing OF forage assembled.
He was accompanied only by his chief clerk,
Mcdonald, and looked pale and anxious He
asked the court to grant him a delay of a week
In order To secure counsel.
Major Gardner, the Judge advocate of tho
court, opposed the granting of further delay in
this case.
Ihls whole business, he said, "seems to
SAVIOR very strongly of intentional DELAY: there
fore il seems 90 me that if the accused Is able to
go on with the case it should be required to pro-
ceed."
General Swain, In replying, resented the In.
situations OF intentional delay on his part.
After considering the application OF the &C
cused in private session, the court announced
that ii would grant him delay until Wednes-
day morning next The court then adjourned
until the day named.

Mr.. Cleveland and the Visiting Senator's
HIS FIRM STAND AGAINST THE SPoILS DOCTRINE.
Wash. Cor Bait Sun.
On the general policy of his administration,
and more especially as pertaining to the i'm
portant question of appointments to and re-
movals from office, the expressions of Mr. Cleve-
land gave still greater emphasis to the position
which it is understood he has determined to
assume. He inquired of several of the Senators
what was thought in Washington of his late
civil service letter and the principles laid down
therein. It was suggested to him that more
than one construction had been put upon the
letter. That it had been Interpreted for in
stance, by some office-seekers as not meaning so
mu0h as appeared to those who were not look
ing for place. To this suggestion he replied
very. decidedly that the letter meant exactly
what it said, no more and no less, and those
who were undertaking to read between the
lines would find themselves mistaken. He did
not purpose removing any republican official
who had been faithful and attentive to his
duties, and whose administration of his office
diately concerned. When the terms of fsiei such
to fill their places with good men of his owr,,
party If they could be found, which he did not
doubt; There might be reasons in some cases
why this position should not be adhered to- but
under all ordinary and usual circumstances 1t
would be the rule. In determining upon this
line of action Mr.. Cleveland follows British pre-
cedent We think our political differences ut
times are very bitter yet it is not possible that
they could be more acrimonious and intense
all changes of administration in Great Britain
those in accord with the victorious party are
promptly put at the head OF affairs, but the SUBJ
Ordinates are not disturbed. It is an understood
thing that when vacancies occur the party then
in power shall fill them with its own adherents,
and as tins custom Is observed by all parties il
hunt for Office" as we understand 1t, is there
fore unknown in Great Britain. II Mr.. Cleve-
doctrine from American politics It would be one
OF the crowning glories of his administration.

A Talkative North CarOlinian.

WHAT HE REPORTS OF HIS3INrERyIEW WITH
MIR. CLEVELAND.
There is n North Carolina democrat in the CITY
who has just returned from a visit to MIR. Cleve.
land. He was an elector, and was pleasantly
receivd by the President-elect He is quoted as
saying that Mr.. Cleveland asked him:
'Who is this Mr.. Jarvis, of your state?"
'Why," replied the North Carolinian, "Don,t
you know our ex-governor"
"Never heard OF him in my life until his name
was presented here for a cabinet position y
replied the President-elect.
This candid talk of the North Carolinian
reached the ears of some of the members of Con.
gress of that state, men of experience in the
affairs of life, and it seems they hunted him mn
and cautioned him not to tell tales out of school
He was particularly worried to 'keep out of the
clutches OF these newspaper men,"
