against Sl.2 last year. That of rye is $50.
The averages Of the principal wheat states
are as follows: Ohio, 81: Michigan "a; In
diana, ST. Illinois, ~; Missouri '6 and
Kansas, 81. The average of these six
states is 742. against 71 in April 1892. 1t IS

favorable condition, with the exception of
California, where too much rain is re-
ported.
Seeding was late in the Ohio and Mis-
sisSppi valleys, because of the widely
prevalent drouth, causinga poor CONDITION
of the soil and retarding the germnat!on,
and in some cases wholly preventing the
same. SIS in Kansas, where reports show
total failure over considerable areas In

The plant entered the winter in the main
wheat producing states in a low state OF
vitality, caused by persistent drOuths and
early cold weather Snow covering has
been general throughout the eastern, mid
die and northwestern states, but. notwith-
standing this, the reports show much
abatement from the benefit of the protec
tion thus afforded, because of the excessive

THE GEARY LAW.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Apil 10-lnStruc-
tions which were received from Washing
ton modifying the Chinese regulations by
dispensing with photographs and requir-
ing only creditable witnesses, came as a
surprise to the treasury officials here and
all other persons who are directly inter
ested in the Chinese registration act Col
lector of Internal RevenueJohn c. Quinn.
in commenting upon the modification of
the regulations, said:
This new regulation is great surprise
to me, because heretofore the government
has required US to employ every precau-
ton to prevent improper registration.
The very best safeguard against fraud in
the future has been the photographs
OF the applicants. Without their Use It
will be difficult matter to secure q
complete Identification. The importance
of this identification will be felt later
when certificates are transferred to
Chinese, who have been smuggled into
this country. The change, however, will
relieve US of considerable labor and we
will be enabled TO register about four
times as many applicants in the same
time that we do now. Just what has
caused the department to make these
changes do not know. Regulations for
the enforcement of the law are issued by
the secretary of the treasury and subject
TO cnanSe by MN at any time. w nat
effect this will have upon the Chinese l
am not prepared to say. They have al
ways objected TO furnishing their photo
graphs, and many have given that as a
reason for not registering. The Chinese
are controlled by the Six Companies, and
until they consent the number of regis
tered will be small. If they should decide
to come in now we will do our best. We
can register them. but it would be i'm
possible to receive all before May j.
Gong Tong, the secretary Of the Six
Companies. when informed of the change
made in the regulations, declared it
would not cause the Chinese to register.
They would continue to oppose the law,
and only cease after decision by the
United States supreme court. King Ow
yang, vice CONSUL when Informed of the
news from Washington, said:
''The consul general and myself have
not expressed any opinion or used any in-
huence with our people for or against the
Geary act. They have asked us to advise
them about registering, but we have al
ways told them to do as they please about
it. This change in the regulations is up-
expected news and we do not know what
influence has been brought about. 1t will
remove one of the most Objectionable fea-
lures of the registration act, and may
cause a larger number to apply for certifi-
Gates of residence, but of this am not
certain"

CROSS vs.. CRESCENT.

WORCESTER, Mass, April l0.-Last Sun
day week the Catholic Armenians had al
Easter celebration aud invited many Ma
hometaus and Greek church friends. The
Mahometans observed their spring festival
Yesterday, and asked their Catholic friends
to participate. While the festivities were
at their height Domitt Jacobs, a Catholic
Armenian, cut a cross with his pocket
knife in table in the house of George
Dullowe where the feast was held. THIS
precipitated fight, which was adjourned
to the street, and soon a mob of over one
hundred AsiaticS were making things
lively with stones and clubs, while pistols
and knives were also brought into play.
They fought for over an hour, when the
police appeared on the scene and arrested
sixteen OF them, including Jacobs. All
the prisoners were more>Qr less bruised
and wounded.

TARIFF REFORM

WASHINGTON, April 10-AIr. Springer of
illinois, chairman of the ways and means
committee of the last congress, remains in
Washington engaged in the preparation of
n tariff bill, and is in constant communl-
cation with Secretary Carlisle upon that
subject. The basis of this measure ac-
rording to private intimations which Mr..
Springer has given, is free raw materials,
with reduction all along the line of the
Existing schedules. 1t is the purpose of
Mr. Springer to add TO his free list the
articles of WOOL lumber, salt, binding
twine coal, iron ore and al other raw ma
terials entering into the more advanced
stages of manufacture There VIII be,
moreover, a large reduction In the duties
on manufactures of woolens and cottons
Mr. Springer is of the opinion that the
president will be earnest in the advocacy
of free raw materials, and that bill
framed along that line will receive the
support of the administration. An as
sault is to be made directly on the tin
plate provisions of the Mckinley law.
Provided that the administrative party
shall not have sufficient strength to make
the law stronger, this is Mr.. Springer's
program. 1t remains to be seen whether
it will be the Administrations program
and whether President Cleveland will 60
as far as Mr.. Springer claims he will in
the reduction OF duties and IN the assaults
upon the Mckinley tariff. Nothing has
happened since March 4 to indicate what
the views of Mr.. Cleveland are upon that
subject.
Meanwhile the administration has pre-
pared no tariff bill, and Mr.. Springer has
not received any assurance that he Is to be
chairman of the committee on ways and
means, and, il current reports, indeed, are
true whether or not Mr.. Crisp shall be re-
elected speaker. Mr.. Cleveland was by no
means satisfied with the organi-
cation of the committees OF the
last house. particularly with those
which have jurisdiction over the tariff and
financial matters. Plainly interpreted
this would seem to Indicate that Mr..
Springer will not be the choice of the adj
ministration for the craftsmanship of the
committee on ways and means. On the
contrary, if Mr.. Cleveland shall have his
choice, the man who viii be at the head
of The committee will be Mr.. Wilson of
West Virginia, one of the most pro
nounced, able and eloquent OF the extreme
free trade advocates IN either branch of
congress.

THE MONEY MARKETS.

New YORK, April 10.-Henry Clews, in
his weekly financial circular, says, in
part:
''The determination of President Cleve.
land to call congress together in Septem-
Der has acted as a relief to the financial
markets. Of course it affords no Specific
indication as to what measures of legIsla
tion may be undertaken; but it does give
assurance that there is TO be the speediest
possible termination of much of the sus-
pense in which large interests have been
held. And from such shadowy intimations
as are appearing, there is more disposition
to hope that, SO far as respects commercial
legislation, conservative respect viii! be
shown for the existing status ofiudustriai
interests dependent upon the tariff; while
the latest canvass of the views of ongress-
men tayors the chances of "A large anchor
alton OF the silver situation.
THE gold exports may quite possibly
assume larger proportions at any time; at
the moment, however, there IS a good sup
ply OF exchange from shipments of Sc
curties and financial negotiations, some
five millions being expected to accrue from
the placing of that amount of bonds OF the
new sole-leather combination which have
just been disposed of in Europe The
question as to whether the Brussels con-
ference will renew its consideration of the
silver question can hardly be considered
an influential factor in the situation. II
seems to be regarded very generally as
virtually immaterial whether or not the
president asks for the reassembling of the
conference; the view being that, if lie does
not, the silver problem will be left to
drift towards its own settlement;and that,
if there is a reassem bling, nothing can be
ageeed upon. The conclusion there
fore Is that each nation must finally
be lett to take its own individual course
under the circumstances, with the result
Of "A still further decentralization of silver;
a result which may be satisfactorily met
SO far as this country Is concerned, provid- |
ing congress can be induced to suspend
the purchase Of silver, which apparently
becomes more likely dis time and discussion |
do their work Of conversion. An assuring |
circumstance as bearing upon our credit |
abroad aud upon general confidence in the |
general situation, arises from the fact |
that the administration has no expecta |
tion OF being required to issue bonds for |
the procurement of gold before congress |
meets in September What may be done |
after that viii largely depend upon what |
congress may do towards the reCoustruc- |
tion of our monetary ana banking arrange
ments in the way OF limiting the use Of /
silver, economiZiug the use OF gold, aud |
modifying the arrangements which now /

THE CHEROKEE COMMISSION

GUTHRIE, o. T., April l0.-[Special. J.
The Cherokee commissioners are in camp
near the Ponca agency. Governor Jerome,
Judge Warren g. Sayre and Mr. King,
secretary, are on the ground. The Poncas
have been obstinate as regards signing
contracts owing to other than occult rea-
sons. They have been advised by other
tribes particularly the Osages aud Chero-
KEGS, not to treat for their lands. Cattle
men desiring the reservation for range
purposes have tried to convince them that
they would derive more in lease money
than they would from renting to whites.
Their lands have been allotted, Miss Helen
Clarke having devoted considerable time
to the matter. 1t now remains to treat for
the surplus lands and to finish up several
minor matters. This the commission will
accomplish.
No former commission has ever accom-
plished the work that has been accom-.
plished by this one The gentlemen COM
prising it have proved themselves equal to
the Herculean task assigned them and
the hundreds of happy homesteaders of
Oklahoma have them to thank in a great
degree for the farms they can now call
their own.
The gubernatorial aspect is still hazy. 1t
would seem that Sidney Clark was in the
lead. with Mr. Lowe for second choice.
The friends of the respective parties are
still very sanguine.
