BISMARCK, OAK, July. 25.-Major
Warner, commander-in-chief of the G..
A. r., and a member of the Sioux
commission, has arrived here and
leaves for Standing Rock to-day. In
speaking of the recent trouble between
the G. A. r. and the railroads with re-
gard to rates to the national encamp-
ment to be held at Milwaukee, he said
that the &. A. r. would go on with
the eDcampment, and will treat the
people of Milwaukee with respect and
consideration, to which their generous
preparations entitle them. He added
significantly, 1--WE will settle with the
railroads afterwards. He says that
the eastern people will suffer little by
the refusal of the roads to give a spec
ial rate to the encampment. but 1t
will be a hardship on the G.. A. r.
men of the west, where the rates are
high.
With regard to the prospect for the
success of the commission now treat
ing with the Sioux Indians for the
opening of the reservation, Major
Warner said that the result at Chey-
enne is not satisfactory nor encourage
ing, and that he has little knowledge
of the feeling of the Indians at Stand
ing Rock, to which agency the com
mission is now enrOute. General
Crook and other commissioners are
going to Standing Rock by boat. 1t is
Mt that place that the commissioners
will meet their most uncounpromising
and ablest opponents in the persons
of Sitting Bull, Gall and John Grass,
who are said to be as strongly opposed
to the opening of the reservation as
they were a year ago. Sitting Bull
has improved in health and will be
present at the conference.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, July 25.-The
following crop estimate is compiled by
Colonel Rogers of the Market Record.
one of the most reliable statisticians
in the northwest: The maturing grain
in the spring wheat sections has pro-
crossed enough toward maturity so that
1t is possible to form something like a
fair estimate of the yield. That it will
amount to more than was comomnly
figured few weeks ago there is not
the least doubt. The greatest trouble
is in arriving at approximations of
crops that are below the average and
above the average. 1t will be about
fair to offset the increase in acreage
with the amount plowed up and that
not plowed up that will not be cut,
leaving the acreage about the same as
last year. If Minnesota gets fifteen
bushels, which many think not too
high, the total would be some AZ 900, :
900 bushels, and for both Dakotas
eight bushels may not be too high, OIL
round up of SO, 900 900 bushels, max
ing $4,000, 900 bushels for both. The
last crop, while called go, OOO, 600. was
more than 10000, 600; perhaps not be
low as, OOO,0 900 bushels of all sorts. II
is quite generally conceded that the
promise is for some ten million bush.
els more than year ago, which con-
cession, IL correct, would indicate
eighty to eighty-five million bushels
this year. Cutting is getting quite
general in the south and will begin In
the north next week, although a preat
deal in the south is not ripe enough
now and much in the north will notshs
next week. So far very little shrunkeI
wheat has been discovered, but som,
is IN stage that might be affected yet

Porter and the Census

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Frank Viii
liams the expert in charge of the work
of collecting statistics for the eleventh
census has returned from a trip
through the manufacturing centers of
the east. During his absence he con-
suited with leading manufacturers,
political economists and representa-
tiVeS of labor organizations relative to
the scope of inquiry to be made and he
will now prepare a schedule for the
recording of the statistics on the
this subject. Before the schedule is
finally adopted, however, Superintesn md
ent Porter will send copies to free
trade professors and others inter
ested in the subject invit-
ing their criticisms and sug-
geStionS. By this method Mr.. Porter
hopes to be able to make the enquiry
on this subject not only comprehensive
and complete. but free from the sus-
picion that it is being conducted in the
interest of any theory or any class.
Mr.. Porter will also appoint Chas. II.
Sweetley and j. w. Collins of the
United. States fish commission, as ex-
perts to assist in the collection of fish
cry statiticS. He has also designated
John S. Lord, of Illinois, Fred W.
Knouse, of New York, and Geo K.
Holmes, OF Massachusetts. TO make
tests in their respective localities with
the view of ascertaining the best meth
cd of collecting the statistics of the re-
corded Indebtedness. The difficulties
| in the way of obtaining reliable data on
this subject are so great that Mr.. Por-
ter says he will not undertake it at all
unless he can see his way clear to
| reaching some satisfactory results.
These gentlemen will see what can be
done in small district such as coun-
| ty, and in case they are unable to re-
| port upon an effective plan, Mr.. Por-
ter will ask the repeal of that
portion of the law which makes
| the gathering of these statistics
mandatory upon the superinten-
dent of censue. In the collection of
statistics of mortality, Mr.. Porter in
tends to establish new system. In
stead of following the municipal divi-
sion of cities in wards, he has instruct
ed his agents to have all the principle
cities divided into districts in such q
way that the different classes of popu-
lation will be brought into separate
districts, as for example, the tenement
house population can be included in
certain districts and the statistics
will show the death rate prevailing
there and will bring out in a clearer
form than under the old system. b
r. Carol, the editor of the New YOrf
Independent, will have charge of the
work of collecting religious statistics

Inc treasury department to-day de-
cided an enteresting question in regard
to the classification of the so-called
garretted wool waste. The question
arose on an appeal by j. Wild s. Co..
from the decision of the collector of
customs at New York assessing the
duty at 80 cents per pound on recent
importation of that merchandise which
they claim to be dutiable at the rate
of 10 cents per pound. 1t appears
from the special report Of the United
States appraisers. that merchandise
consists of so-called WOODEN waste,
which has been garretted or put
through some process by which it is
restored to the condition of unmanu-
featured secured wool of the first-class.
In the letter to the collector Acting
| Secretary Batcheler says, that the
question as to the classification Of
merchandise of this character was de-
cided by the department on the 18th OF
October 1887, and it was then as it was
on the 18th of July. 1887. held that
wooden waste which may have been
broken up and put throug the garrett
/ ing machine whereby it becomes prac-
tically secured wool, was dutiable at
the rate prescribed for secured wool.
