Condition Percentage the Lowest
of Any Recorded Year EX-
cept One,
According to Reports Received
by The Orange Judd
Farmer.
Worlds Crop of 1896 Was About
118,OOO,O 900 Bushels Less
Than in 1895.

CHICAGO, March 80. The monthly
crop report Of The Orange Judd
Farmer, compiled from county returns
received up to March 26, makes tho
present condition of winter wheat the
lowest since 1885, and, with that single
exception, the lowest ever reported.
The general average is $50, against
so last year, and S5.3 in 1895. The
government records for the past Is
years shows that the April report has
averaged nearly one point higher than
the May following during that period,
and an unusual allowance for possible
future recovery has been made in
figuring this report of condition, it
may be accepted as a fact that the
country is face to face with a third
short winter wheat crop.
To ~localize and illustrate the disaster
which has overtaken the crop, the pres
ent condition in the six great winter
wheat states is given, with the changes
from conditions reported at this date a
year ago.:
Ohio s6, or IA points better Michigan
81, or 4 points lower Indiana ~, or Ii
points lower Illinois 45, or Al points
lower; Missouri 70, or 10 points lower
Kansas SO, or 3 points lower.
General average for the six states rs,
against So last year..
On the Pacific coast, in Texas, and in
the Eastern states, the season has been
satisfactory, and state averages are
quite generally high.
The crop was seeded late, and did
not secure good root growth before the
heavy freeze of the latter part OF
November. 1t went into winter lack.
ing i'll vigor, and the abnormally cold
weather in January when there was
little snow protection in the Ohio and
Mississippi valleys resulted i'll the actual
freezing to death of the plant.

Said President Mckinley Will Take That

New YORK, March 30.-A dispatch
to The Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley has definitely de-
cided to send q special commissioner to
Cuba.
The president has in view a close
personal friend and a man Of consider
able legal ability in whose Judgment
he has the greatest confidence.
The specific object Of the special
commissioners visit to Cuba will be to
take part in the intended investigation
of the alleged murder Of DR.. Ruiz, an
American citizen.
Consul General Lee has absolutely
refused to join in this investigation Oh
the ground that he is convinced the

for all officials connected with Ruiz
death.

1t hove in sight about the time that
church was over. and in half an hour
had traversed the heavens and had
once more disappeared. 1t was seen
by people in all parts Of the city. This
time the "airship" came into view in
the southeastern portion Of the horizon.
1t was in the shape Of a big bright
light, too big for a balloon, and glowed
steadily. 1t sailed over the city to the
northwest and there disappeared be-
hind the bluffs. 1t moved very slowly,
and seemed to be quite near the earth.
Nothing but the light was visible. A
big crowd at Twenty-fourth and Lake
streets waited the trip of the visitor,
and speculated upon 1t.

Year Since 1882.
WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-THE tide of
immigration is at the lowest point since
the general government assumed 1u-
riSdiction of the subject in 1882. The
number of arrivals from all countries,
according to treasury statistics during
the last fiscal year was 230,832, de-
crease as compared with the previous
year of 1928 The highest immigra-
tion of any previous years was in 1895,
when the number from all countries
was 279,94S. The year of heaviest i'm
migration was the first of the period
be ginning with 1882, when arrivals
numbered 1885, 1892 During the entire pc
Rod of federal supervision {, 432, Ole hav-
ing entered the United States. The ar
rivals of Russian Jews for the past year
numbered 22,750, as against 45,137 for
the fiscal year ended June so, 1896. Italy
furnished the greatest number of emf
grants, "a, 4Sl, a decrease of $500 from
last year.
The cause of the heavy Italian immi-
grafton of 1890 was assigned to the
war of Italy with Abyssinnia, but the
figures for the last year are not alb
normal, having been exceeded by sew
eral years of the period. Since 1882
there has been a large and steady de-
crease in German immigration; in 1882
25O,6S0 entered the United States from
| that country, while in 1896 only %, 5S3
arrived. immigration from Austria
Hungary decreased from SO, JOB in 1895,
to S3,031 in 1897. The decrease from
1896 from other countries is as follows:
England, 1892 to 1874; Sweden, u, 137
to 1874; Norway, S,155 to 5,S42, and
Ireland, &C, 262 to 2S,421.
