The Wheat Outlook.

The following crop summary appeared
IN the Farmers Repicv last week Of the
numerous returns made by its correspond
ents: The returns from the winter wheat
fields are almost uniformly good. They
present an outlook nearly as favorable as
that OF 1885. The snow has entirely disap-
peared from the fields, enabling clear un-
derstanding as to the condition of the plant,
and from nearly every county in Ohio, In
diana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Ken
tucky and Kansas 1t is reported as looking
strong and healthy. The utter disappear
ance of the snow covering is the only serious
menace now threatening the growing grain,
and with another general fall Of snow the
outlook could hardly be better. The latest
reports from California, Oregon and Wash
ington Territory are generally more favora-
BILE than at the same time last year. In
Tennessee the reports indicate an average
outlook

Numerous Petitions for the Removal
of the Railway Tracks.


of the Railway Tracks.
The disaster at the Four-and a. half street
crossing Of Virginia avenue on Saturday
has again stirred up the advocates for the
removal OF the railway tracks from the ave
nues. Petitions are being extensively cir
culated among the property owners and
residents OF South Washington for their
Endorsement of the bill introduced In the
House by Mr.. Harris and In the Senate by
Mr.. Vance, defining the routes of steam
railroads entering the city, and which was
indoised by The CRITIC on January IL.
The petitions have been placed In most Of
the stores in that section aud are receiving
the Endorsement OF almost the entire popu
lation. They will be submitted to the Dis
trict Committee for the purpose Of urging
an early and favorable report on the bill.
The provisions OF The bill have been re-
peatcdly indorscd by 'mass-meetings which
have been held by the citizens OF that sec
tion and other sections Of the city. The
bill removes all the b. IL o. tracks from
the northeastern part Of the city and causes
them to enter the city at Fifteenth street
northeast, down which they shall run to L
street northeast, and continue by tunnel
under Fifteenth street to the point east of
the Navy-Yard tunnel, where they will
meet the Baltimore 81 Potomac line. Then
turning to the left and leaving the present
course of the Baltimore & Potomac the
combined lines are carried on viaduct
built parallel with X street over the squares
between X and l. until the confluence of
Seventh and Water streets is reached
From this point they will cross the Long
Bridge, which is to be constructed at the
common expense Of all the lines using 1t,
aud, according to plans and specifications
hereafter to be agreed upon by the Com
missioners, all the tracks now used by the
