CONCERNING THE CROPS.
and the Best Corn Crop in Ten Years. Buckwheat Bad and Potatoes Fair.

Small Yield and Poor Quality of Wheat and the Best Corn Crop in Ten Years.
 Buckwheat Bad and Potatoes Fair.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The agricultural department returns relative to the wheat crop are those of yield per acre, by coun- ties. As consolidated, the general average for winter wheat is twelve bushels per acre and for spring wheat slightly over ten bush els The former has yielded better than the early expectation, the latter much worse This is of course in measured bushels. The quality is much below the average which will still further reduce the supply, as we'll as can be shown more exactly hereafter, from testimony of inspection and millers' weights
 The winter wheat averages of states of considerable production are: New York, Al; Pennsylvania, 13.7; Maryland 145; Virginia, ST; Texas, 1l.2; Tennessee, 9.2; Kentucky 11.2; Ohio, 1l.2; Michigan, 145: Indiana, 11.3; Illinois, l3; Missouri 126; Kansas, 14.7; California, 12.7; Oregon, 1G.3 8.
 The spring wheat averages are: Wisconsin, Ills bushels; Minnesota, S.7; Iowa, 1OS: Ne braska, 10.S; Colorado, 11.5; Dakota, 92. Montana, 165; Washington 1S.5; Utah, 163. The spring wheat of the New England states ranges from fourteen to sixteen bushels
 
 Corn crop shows that it has been equalled only three times in ten years, and is exceeded materially only by that of 1873, when con- dition was 9S, and the subsequent ascertained yield twenty eight bushels, by the census of 1880. The present average of condition is 92, against 94.3 in September. There has been some reduction from frost in northern New England, New York and Michigan. There has been no decline in the northwest and the status of the great corn surplus states remains Sept. l. Bad weather in the south has had slight effect in reducing condition. The indications favor a result ranging little from twenty six bushels per acre, making full average
 The district of commercial corn gives the following averages:
 Ohio, 99; Indiana 9S; Illinois, 9S; Iowa, 99 Missouri, %; Kansas, -; Nebraska 97. The average of New York is S3 Penn sylvania, 93; Virginia, S6; Kentucky, 95 Tennesse, e6; Georgia, so; Texas, 9i
 The condition of buckwheat has declined heavily-from 931 last month to 791, mainly from the effect of frosts, as this grain is produced only in the higher attitudes.
 In New York the decline.was from 92 to 70; Pennsylvania, from 96 to 93; Michigan from s to 77.
 The average condition of the potato crop is about ST, decline of less than four points New York stands Tt S2, Michigan at SS-a decline of six and seven points, respectively.
 Tobacco has fully maintained the condition of last month, averaging for all kinds SS.S.

Delaware Fruit Growers Demanding Fair
 Treatment from n Railroad.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The hotel registers hold the names of numerous lawyers and hosts of witnesses on both sides of a casa which is now on hearing before the interstate commerce commission. It is the complaint of the Delaware Grange and Patrons of Illus. bandry against the New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad company.
 The interests involved are those of the fruit growers of the Delaware peninsula. They charge that the corporation, which is branch of the Pennsylvania railroad not only overcharged and discriminated in it's rates but also caused heavy losses by run ming the fruit trains on the schedule of freight trains, when they should have been run as express trains. The hearing promises to be long one.
 The fruit season is now practically oyer, but the Changers want ''indemnity for the past and guarantees for the lu.~re,n in the language of diplomacy.

Gaudaur Keeps the Lead.
 NEW YORK. Oct 11-Although eleven chAmpanion oarsmen, each star in his own watery Armament, were competing for fame an1 money, large numbers could not be et- tracted to the Madison Square Garden last night the fourth day of the road scullers' match.
 The new arrangement-keeping six men on for intervals of two hours for each squad worked to perfection.
 Teemer did not appear, but was seen by reporter, to whom he announced his inten- tion of staying out of the race.
 The racing from until 6 proceeded in desu tory sort of way. At the end of the first two hours Conley had made 9 miles and laps, Gaudaur only claiming "A miles and laps Then, accompanied by East and Bubear, they went to their supper, while the other six knights of the scull took their places
 The racing was more marked during the hours from 6 until 8, as Ross and Mckay kept their machines at high pressure for an hour and ten minutes.
 At 10 o'clock the last relief came on and the race between Ross and Mckay began afresh but the latter's machine broke on the fourth lap.
 Conley made the best score in his two hours, 24 miles and laps, with Gaudaur second, who made 9 miles and laps

Here Is Another Complication.

WASHINGTON, Oct, 1.-The collector of customs at Port Townsend, W. T., yester. day telegraphed the secretary of the treasury that "a number of Chinese laborers from Alaska were en route to that port, by ths American steamer Ancon, and that the vessel had touched at Victoria, B. C., but that none of the Chinese had landed" He asked what action he should take in the premises.
 Assistant Secretary Maynard telegraphed that they could not land under the terms of the Chinese exclusion bill. The matter may assume international importance, as Alaska is an American territory, and the transit hither over the high seas, on an American ship, is construed in certain diplomatic quarters not to take the vessel out of Ameri- can territory. The fact that the vessel touched at British port will also enter into the question.

 J. H. HAMILL, Eso., Globe, Ariz:-DEAR SIR: In reply to your valued favor of the 18th inst, in reference to display of minerals from Gila county, I beg to say, that it will give us great pleasure to assign space for such an exhibit at our exposition this season. We already have a nice collection of minerals from Arizona, portion of the same display which was at the New Orleans Exposition. This mineral, with "A cases, has been left here for permanent exhibit. Colorado and Montana are making great preparations for fine show ing, and Arizona should not be behind in this matter. I will see that you have a nice location, and will in addition, should you desire to leave handsome cabinet with us permanently, place it either in Cr directly adjoining my own office. Our building is open ali the year round. Important gatherings of all kinds whether local or national are all held here when coming to St. Louis, and the opportunity will be afforded thousands of strangers to inspect the cabinet. 1 feel sure it cannot fail to do you good.
 would suggest that you start the ball rolling, and I am sure you can secure a creditable repre- sentation from your Territory.
 One other suggestion. I would discourage all large or bulky speci- mems, and so far as possible con- fine the display to a showing of handsome and valuable specimens. which always attract more atten- tion from visitors than the others. Place some Tn nice cases and know they will be carefully ex- amlned. You understand we make no charge for space, 10 that you incur no expense so far as we are concerned. l can almost prom ise, and indeed will promise, that if you leave the collection with us for permanent display, I can get 1t through by rail from Denver or Pueblo free.
 1 take great interest in minerals, and will do all in my power to call attention to the exhibit when I think valuable parties can be in- terested who might be induced to make investments. I do this from good will and free. Any informa- ton will be gladly furnished at all times. Very truly yours,
