81 New York, May 1.-THE Times pre-
eents special dispatches from its CORES

Union, giving . careful and conserva-
i've summary OF the acreage, condition
md probable yield of cotton. corn and
Mheat in the states from which the in
formation comes are the leading ones
Engaged in the growing Of the articles
named.
The significant fact about the cotton
crop il the decrease in acreage. That
there is such q decrease Is reasonably
certain, though opinions differ a. to
how great it is. Estimates run from 10
70 Is per cent. less in Louisiana to 80 to
B5 per cent in virginia. Drought has
periously affected the crop in some
Ttates, in others it is reported to be in
excellent condition. The total yield
will be less than last year.
Corn has suffered from the late spring
u the great corn growing states, but
more particularly from continuous and
heavy rains. In some states the piow-
ing is not half done, while in others it
has not even been begun. Still, If good
weather should come at once, there
would be an average acreage and yield.
OF the great wheat growing states
South Dakota is the only one that
promises large crop. In Minnesota
the weeks of cold rain have made the
prospects of harvest far from dattering.
Similar conditions have prevailed in
Wisconsin in less degree, and the out
look for large crop ID not sgood.
Washington has enjoyed good weather
and though North Dakota has had a
wet spring, it Ii confident OF 3 good
crop. From Illinois, Kansas and Ohio
the rsports are not discouraging. though
these states have suffered from the
spring rains.

Prominent Republicans Meet at the Resi-
dence of Gen. AIger.
DETROIT, Mich, May 19.-The Tribune to-
day says: "Gen. J. s. GARRISON, chairman of
the republican national committee, came to
Detroit yesterday on his way to New York from
Hot Springs, Ark. He is the guest Of Gen.
Russell A. Alger and will remain until noon
today, when he will leave for New York.
At Gen. Algers house yesterday were also
several other republicans Of national promi-
nence, including ]. SlOat Fassett of New York,
who is a delegate to the national convention;
John NJ. Thurston Of Nebraska, John P. San
born, the Michigan member Of republican ma
tional committee, and John NJ. Langston, the
colored statesman from Virginia.
1T is understood that W. W. Grape of Massa-
chusetts was also guest of Gen. Alger yes
terday evening. There are not wanting indica-
tons that several hours were spent in earnest
discussion of the political situation and of the
prospective action Of the party at Minneapo-
lis"
The Free Press in regard to this conference
says:
From reliable source it was learned late
last night that the minds Of the meni assembled
some seemed to concentrate on Blaine while it
was virtually q case Of anything to beat Harrison
Mr.. Fassett favored Blaine first, last and at
all times Gen. Alger has declared himself for
Blaine on more than one occasion, but nat
urally would prefer himself. The conference
will end today, and whether Gen. Alger will
convince these leaders that he is the most de-
sirable man, with Blaine out Of the race, is a
question"
