Britons Never Satisfied.

LONDON, Feb. 3-The Post, in an
editorial on the Dunraven inquiry,
says: THE limitation of the inquiry
into the Dunraven charges requires an
explanation, and 1t is regrettable that
the cup committee was not represented
at the inquiry. If the result of the in
quiry is satisfactory to the New York
Yacht club, there is nothing more to be
said, but it is to be hoped that we have
heard the last of this regrettable

the Hawaiian islands and Japan. The
only stumbling block which they can
see is the opposition of Mr. Reed and
other Republican leaders to increased
appropriations on account of the CON
dition Of the treasury, which has been
demonstrated in all of the appropria-
ton bills reported up to date, and in
the work Of the committee on public
buildings and rivers and harbors. Mr..
Doolittle thinks that this policy can
not apply against an agreement by the
government to guarantee the bonds
of the canal company.

A REDUCED ACREAGE.
Farmers Everywhere Behind With
Their Flowing.

Special to the Globe.
FERGUS FALLS, Feb. 2.-The crop
in Otter Tail county last fail was i'm
mense-the largest that was ever har-
vested in 1.-The Park region" of which
this county is the center 1t was from
two to three weeks later than usual.
Farmers were taken unawares by the
unusual labor Of cutting and stack
ing such crop, and had not the men
nor machinery to do it promptly. All
these causes combined to make the
start on fall plowing from three weeks
to month later than usual. While
the autumn was mild one, the heavy
frosts arrived earlier than usual and
this cut short the season for blowing al
the other end. The result is that prob
ably not more than one-fourth Of the
usual amount Of land has been ploWed.
ready for the crop of 1885, 1t does
not follow that the wheat area will
be, on that account alone, greatly re-
duced this year. AS a rule, farmers
plow not only their wheat land, but
also the land they Intend to put into
other crops, in the fall but this year
they have devoted their whole time
to the wheat acreage, and that alone
is ready for narrowing. Probably
about four-fifths as much wheat land
has been plowed as usual Other
causes will assist to reduce the 1896
acreage of wheat
Special to the Globe.
ELBOW LAKE, Mimi, Feb. 2.-The
farmers of Grant county are behind
with their work Of plowing. The
threshing season was very unfavorable,
high winds prevailing during the month
of February. Consequently the work
of handling the big crop retarded all
other fall work ON the farm. The
ground did not freeze earlier than
usual, but still fifty per cent of fall
blowing remains undone Our farmers
did very little plowing in the spring.
The acreage for 1896 will be reduced
about 20 per cent compared with that
of 1Sq5
