WHEAT CROP.
Report Given Out by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The statis-
ticfan of the Department of Agriculture
reports the wheat crop of the United
States for 1899 at 547, 10000 bushels,
or 1913 bushels per acre. The produc-
ton of winter wheat is placed at POI,
100000 bushels, and that of spring
wheat at 255,6O0,000 bushels.
Every important wheat-growing State
has been visited by special agents OF
the Department. and the changes in
acreage are the result of their investi-
cations.
The newly seeded area Of winter
wheat is estimated at 30, 49, 900 acres,
which is about 100000 acres greater
than that sown in the fall Of 1898. The
sowing of wheat is still going on in
California and some of the Southern
States, and the foregoing estimate is
subject to correction. The sverage
condition is 81.
The acreage sown with winter rye is
estimated at per cent. less than that
Of last year. The average Of condition
is 9S.2 per cent.
The compilation of the annual re-
turns from Individual farms is ap-
preaching completion. Any slight
changes that may be called for in the
average yield per acre of corn, oats
barley and other crops published Octo-
Der 18th will be made at an early date

ing of partnership funds.

to develop mining properties in Tuol-
umne and other counties of California.
When he demanded a settlement in the
spring of the present year his claims
We're ignored.
At the trial, which lasted for nearly
fifty days, Wiltze testified that New
house had deceived him repeatedly, and,
moreover, he (Wiltze) said he never en-
tered into any agreement with New
house, as alleged by the latter He
admitted that Newhouse was employed
by him in various capacities, but
charged that while acting in such ca
pacity Newhouse had collected certain
funds for which he failed to account
The suit was bitterly contested, as

ally taken away, as provided by Griggs'
opinion, the present holders who have

WOMEN'S ATHLETICS.
Students at Stanford Cannot En-.
gage in intercollegiate Contests,

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. Is.
The Faculty Athletic Committee has
announced its decision In regard to
women's athletics,and no intercollegiate
basketball games will be allowed in
the future.
The committee has decided that such
exercise is too severe for girls. and has.
therefore, forbidden any intercollegiate
contest which requires team work of
any kind.
A further provision iss that any con-
test in which the girls take part must
be played on the home grounds. No
objection is made to any contest which
does not require a severe physical
strain, such as tennis, track and field
events and handball, and basketball
games between the classes In the uni
versity may be held, but the committee
objects to any contest with outside
teams.

Far Greater This Year Than During
the Cholera Epidemic,
Principally Confined to NatIvs hawallaks
and japanese Residents.
Though There Has Been q Large
Increase in the White Popula-
ton, the Death Rate Shows
Marked Decrease, Due Probably
to Their Manner Of Living.

HONOLULU III. ~. Dec. S.-(Va
San Francisco, Dec. 15.)-The number
of deaths in this city during eleven
months of this year is an increase of
40 per cent over the number during
the year when cholera visited the ISL
ands, and an increase of no less than
80 per cent. over the figures for the
year following, which was just after
the city had been given a thorough
cleaning. Statistics show that the prin-
cipal increase is among the native Ha-
waiians and the Japanese. AS there
are no recent census figures upon which
to compute a. death rate, it is impossible
to compare death rates, but physicians
think that the growth of population IS
not enough to account for the increase
in deaths. The native population Is
decreasing, yet there will be 526 deaths
during 1899 if the rate keeps up, while
in no year since 1889 has there been
more than 461. This seems to confirm
the idea that the natives are dying out.
The Japanese population has increased
enormously, so that an increase in the
deaths might have been expected There
is great increase in the deaths among
the Chinese and Portuguese as we'll,
but, strangely enough, the white popu-
lation does not show such a state of
affairs. 4sifRa
According to the figures for eleven
months, there will be ST deaths among
white people during this year. Last
year there were H. and in several pre-
vious years the figures have gone over
30, while the population has undoubt-
eddy grown very much. From these
figures it appears that white people
are doing better in Honolulu as regards
health than either natives, japanese.
Chinese or Portuguese. The manner of
living may have something to do with
this, and an agitation has been start

CATTLE QUEEN or MONTANA.
Adventurous Career OF Mrs. Nat Col
Inns, On the Plains.

The city has n notable guest no
less n parsonage than Mrs. Nat. Col
Inns, who is known throughout the
Northwest as 1.-THE Cattle Queen or
Montana" says the Minneapolis Trl-
bune. She came to this city with a
trainload of cattle-thirty- carloads
all her own property.
Mrs. Collins has had romantic ca
reer, although not devoid of what
would be considered grievous hard
ships by the average American wo-
man. She Is now about fifty-five years
of age. She began her Western expe
rience at the age of ten years, and
he's lived upon the plains ever
since.
1t was her boast that she went
through Denver when that great city
OF to-day contained but one log cabin
and a few tents. Long before she was
twenty years old she had made ten
trips across the plains between Omaha
and Denver. acting in the capacity of
cook in the wagon train of which her
brother was wagonmaster She visited
Bannock and many other points, and
was the first white woman in Vir-
gnia City. She was ut Helena before
there was such a place. ana 1t was at
Helena some time later that she we'd
ded Nat. Collins. a well-known and
respected miner
The marriage occurred about thirty
years ago, and shortly after the cere-
mony the young couple quit the mining
camps and went into the northern part
of Montana and established themselves
in the stock-raising business, to which
they have clung persistently and with
great success ever since. They have
but one child, a daughter 16 years old
They began ranching with about $50
head of stock. The animals We're turned
loose upon the plains and allowed to
increase as rapidly as they would, and
to-day Mrs. Collins says it would be
utterly impossible for her to give even
an estimate OF the number of head OF
cattle upon her various ranches No
effort is made to count them. Each
year they round up as many rs they
care to ship, and the others are UNI
molested.
When Mrs. Collins began to ship her
stock to the Eastern market she found
herself confronted by railway rules that
no woman could ride In the caboose at
tached to the stock trains. She put in
n protest. and as tho agent could give
no satisfaction she carried the matter
to the division superintendent. THAT
official found himself powerless. and
finally James ]. Hill. president of the
Great Northern, was appealed to. Mr.
Hill reluctantly refused her the desired
permission, and by so doing raised n
storm of Indignation about his luckless
head. In n few days he was fairly
smothered With letters from prominent
ranchmen and cattlemen of Montana
demanding that he accord the GUS
tomary privileges or the road To Mrs
Collins. Mrs. Collins got her pass and
has had one each year since, and is
to-day the only woman SO favored.
