WHEAT AND CORN,
Department Estimates Of Crops, Guam.
tity on Hand and Comparative Total.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-The statis-
tical returns of the department OF agri-
culture for March consist principally Of
estimates of the distribution of wheat and
corn. the amount remaining in farmers
hands, the proportion of merchantable
corn and the average prices of both the
merchantable and unmerchantable. The
report is based upon returns of corps
of correspondents of each county of the
several states and territories, and also by
an independent corps OF lumbermen re-
porting through the state agents of the
department. All grain in the hands of
farmers, including the surplus of previous
years, is embraced In the estimates given.
The returns of correspondents of the de-
partment throughout the great wheat
surplus states indicate new factor in the
consumption of wheat, viz: The feeding
of the same to hogs and other stock, fact
due, as declared, to the unprecedented low
prices. the claim being made that this
mode Of disposing of the cereal Is protita-
bic as compared with marketing it for
human food.
The returns also indicate that consider
able portions of the wheat now in farm
ers hands comes from crops prior TO hat
OF 1898. aud especially from that of 1912.
Such stocks have been held principally by
large growers. Some damage TO such
stores is reported from Michigan and
Washington. The iudictte stock OF
wheat in farmers hands is 1l4, 1000
bushels or 2SS per cent of the volume OF
the crop of 1898. This IS nearly 2l,000.oO0
bushels less than the estimate for March L
last year, aud nearly 10000, 900 bushels
less than the average for the past eight
years. The amount remaining in farmers
hands In the eleven priacip wheat grow
ing states is about s3, 600 600 bushels or
63 per cent of the amount in producers
hands in the country ~ large. The average
weight of the crop of 1893, per measured

SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS PROTEST.
Chairman Carriers Proposition Unau
thorized and Inexpedient.

ST. LOUIS. March 10.-General Powell
Clayton of Eureka Springs, Ark, was in
st. Louis today. General Clayton is deeply
interested in the discussion that Chair
man Carter has aroused by proposing to
change the basis of representation at the
national conventions.
$50 far as l understand the matter"
said General Clayton, Mr.. Carter proposes
to have the basis Of representation depend
upon the Republican vote cast at the last
presidential election. / am opposed to
that for two reasons. First, the commit
tee has no power to change the basis of
representation. At the national conven-
ton in 1884 this question WAS fully dis
cussed. The sentiment WAS so much
against a similar proposition that ths
mover WAS compelled to withdraw his
proposition. What the Republican party
in convention assembled refused to do, no
mere creature acting AS committee can
DO now unauthorized.
Secondly, conceding the legality of the
change, l deny its expedency. It Is a
well known fact that hundreds of thou
ands of Republican voters are practically
disfranchised in the southern states. Ii
Mr.. Carter's plan prevails his basis of rep
resentation, so far as the south Is con-
cerned will be made on these false and
fraudulent returns.

MUST GO BACK.

WASHINGTON, March 10-An interesting
alien contract labor case was today de-
cided by Commissioner Stump OF the i'm
migration bureau. 1t appears that Ch
Bari Fischer, a Russian subject. 50 years
old, arrived in the port of New York, Feb.
30 last, and Was barred landing by the
board of special inquiry as contract
laborer. 1t is admitted that Fischer was
an assisted emigrant. his brother-ln-law. n
pantaloon maker, in Philadelphia, having
paid his passage money and having prom
isea him work on arrival.
In view of his being assisted in addition
to there having evidently been an under
standing that ischsr was to work for the
brother-in- law, this commissioner holds
that he comes within the prohibition OF
the statutes. and therefore directs that he
be deported to the old country whence he
came at the expense of the steamship
company bringing him to the United
States.
