WASHINGTON, June l0.-The June re-
port OF the statistician of the department
of agriculture makes the area in winter
wheat as compared with the breadth
harvested last year, 11l.5 spring wheat,
1884: barley, 1911; rye. 10l.5; oats, 97.9.
Conditions: Winter wheat, 96.6; spring
wheat, 92.6; barley, 90.3; rye, 95.4; oats,
So.
In comparison with 1889 the increase in
wheat acreage is quite moderate. The re-
duction last year OF more than 1000, 900
acres suggests the reason for most of the
present increase. This advance is, there
fore, both replacement and development,
the former notable in Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas and California, the latter in less
degree in Washington, Oregon, the Da-
kOtas and in several territories. These
violent fluctuations make the investiga-
ton difficult and in some districts will
render necessary supplementary work.
To this extent present estimates may
be considered as preliminary. The
extension of acreage according to our cor
respondents depends on the price OF wheat
and not on available lands. 4 large in
crement of wheat breadth is reported in
Washington. a large amount of new land
is being broken for next years crop, and
the local opinion is expressed that not
more than one-fifth of the wheat land of
that new state is under cultivation. The
winter what crop is encroaching upon the
southern and eastern borders of the spring
wheat district, notably in Iowa and Wis
consin, under the protection of crops,
diversi6cation aud new methods of cult
vation, while spring wheat extension re-
spends moderately to the stimulus OF
higher prices.
The condition of winter wheat has de-
clined only one point The average OF
New York Is SO; Pennsylvania 81; Geor-
gia 9S; Texas 9S; Ohio 80; Michigan 80;
Indiana 90: Illinois 9S: Missouri 90 Kan
sas 50; California 81. The first monthly
statement of averages of spring wheat
makes Wisconsin II; Minnesota 80; Iowa
So Nebraska 81; the DaKOtas SO. Early
sown wheat was injured by frost in Wis
consin and Minnesota. termination was
arrested by drouth in the same region.
In South Dakota drouth has retarded
growth. Conditions have been more IA
vorable generally in North Dakota. Re
cent rains in Nebraska and Iowa have
greatly benefited wheat and encouraged
the growers. Drouth III May has greatly
injured oats on the entire Atlantic coast.
Winter oats in the southern states
are far better than the spring
crop which has been partially destroyed
by drought and insects Not only was the
acreage reduced in the Ohio valley, but
condition is low in consequence of dry
weather. In Minnesota the injuries of
drought were supplemented by those of
cut worms. Condition is highest on the
northern Atlantic coast and on the Pa
cific where areas are very limited. The
increase in the acreage of barley is gen.
eral in almost every section where it is
grown, and especially markedin the states
of the Ohio valley, in Wisconsin and Cali
fornia. Condition is uniformly high ex-
cept in portions of the Northwest, where
it has been lowered by drought and cool
weather.

The CEar Well Awnre of the Crueltles 10
which the jews Are Subjected.
LONDON, June lin an interview to-
day Herr Goldberger, the well-known
Jewish fnancier, director of the inter
national bank of this city and consulting
general for Belgium in this city, who was
recently expelled from Russia apparently
in a most unwarranted manner, said, that
contrary to the usual belief, the czar is
well aware of the cruelties practiced; that
he has always been rabid anti-Semite
and that his hatred to the Jews had in
creased since the memorable railway acci-
dent which happened upon line built by
q Russian Jew-Von Polieskof.
Herr Goldberger thinks that Russia will
not only suffer from the commercial dis
asters sure to follow the expulsion of the
Jews, disasters which Russia with her
great resources might meet with impun-
ity but that these measures have brought
about a feeling of in5ecuritY among the
Russian protestants and among the num-
erous foreigners residing in Russia, TO
whose enterprise most OF the commercial
undertakings owe their existence.

watch over the girl on Sunday and took

Grace had heard Of her mothers ap-
proach and had concealed herself in the
woods near by. Her mother returned
home without her. That night Grace
slept at Dodge's house. On Thursday
Charles Raynor, Grace's brother, went TO
Dodges and took her home. Her father,
to prevent her leaving home until his re-
turn that evening, placed a small chain
about her shoe top at the ankle and fast
ened 1t to the floor. Grace from a
window complained of cruelty TO a friend
of the Curtis's who was passing. lie
lodged a complaint with Justice Carman,
who sent letter as follows:

have your daughter chained in her room and
that she complains that she is in torture and
has been beaten. This ought not TO be, rs you

FRITZ" EMMETT.

was in charge OF nurse. Village doc
tors visited him daily and at last a New
York physician was called in consul
tation.
lJoseph Kline Emmett was born in 1871 st
St. Louis where, when he was about twenty
years old, he married Miss Elizabeth Webber,
daughter Of weIl-to-do German parents. lie
was drummer boy at that time. In 1866 he
got an engagement as a variety actor in Cincin-
natl, snd later joined Brysnts mlnstrelsin New
York. While a variety actor he originated his
German song aud dance" which attracted at
tention at once. In 1862 at Buffalo, he made
the hit of his life as "Fritz.' Since then fort
une had smiled upon him. He went to Albany
20 live N 1881, building a costly and pistur-
esQuo villa in the outskirts of the city and a
park with artificial lake surrounding it. Is
was furnished sumptuously. Mrs. Emmett Sc
cured u divorce abOnt year ago. Mr.. Emmett
entering no objection. With characteristic
generosity he gave her about $50, 600 and also
decided over to her the villa. For ten years,
from 1875 to 1885, Emmett made probably more
money than any star in America. The theaters
were scarcely large enough 10 hold the crowds
who fooked TO see him. and he could dictate
his own terms 10 local managers. A net profit of
$4,000 a year would probably not be an
over estimate. During the last few
years. however, Ar. EmmetPs star has
been declining. His outbreaks OF dsslpa-
ton were largely responsible for this, for
when he was on spree and this happened
frequently, he was altogether uncomfortable,
and disappointed audiences and managers so
frequently that they had little confidence in
him. He has paid very large sums OF money
Tor damages on account OF his nOn-appearanceS
during his seasons of dissipation. When he
once started on a spree bolts and bars and per-
sonal surveillance could not stop him until
sheer physical exhaustion compelled him to
quit. A few years ago. Emmett was very
wealthy mad, woTta perhaps H million, bat
considerable of this has since gotten
away from him. Emmett played here
in his then new play OF Fritz" several nights
in the old Academy OF Music, then situated
on the corner of Illinois and Ohio-sts The
theater was afterwards burned down. He drew
immense audiences at that time. which he con-
t;nued to do overy time he appeared in this
city. His last appearance here was in the
earlier part of last season. Although his
voice had lost much of the sweetness of his
earlier manhood and his figure and stage
movement much Of the gracetulness OF the
same period of his life, yet he continued TO be
one of the most attractive personalities of the
stage until he quit il forever.l

to identify the dead. Forty bodies which
lay in q freight shed were recognized,
mostly as those of inhabitants of Basle.
The exact estimate of the number of
the killed is yet impossible. There are
several persons missing. and others who
are in the hospitals who are sinking, who
will probably have to be added to the
ultimate total of the dead.
The driver and the stoker Of the second
engine miracnlously escaped with con-
tusions. Two guards were killed. A
corpse of military engineers are building a
