PROGRESS IN CHINA.
Edicts Issued which Prohibit Foot
Binding and Permit IntermaF-
rage With the 1Ianchus.

Washington, April 5.-The state de-
partment made public copies of two
Chinese edicts, which were sent by
United States Minister COnger at
Picking under date OF February >.
These edicts indicate the IoOsening
of the bonds of custom and the pres
ent trend toward a new order of
things. The first edict removes the
prohibition OF inter-marriag between
Manchus and Chinese, and is Of pOlit-
zeal significance, says Mr. COnger, as
indicating a desire to emphasize less
strongly the distinction between
rulers and ruled. 1t also bids Chi
nese officials and gentry to persuade
Chinese women to do away with the
old custom of foOt-binding and let
their extremities grow as nature in
tended. The practice, says the edict,
is "an injury TO the good order Of
creation"

BEATS ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS.
american Farmers Have $4,000
600 Acres Seeded to Wheat.
Drought Has Seriously Injured the
Crop in Kansas, But Elsewhere
the Outlook Is Fully Up
TO Last Year.

Chicago, April S.-American farm
ers seeded last fall 100000 acres
OF winter wheat, an area 4,OOO,OOO in
excess of that which they reaPed in
the summer This great planting, far
surprising any other in the history
of American farming, viii offset the
damage done to the wheat crop by
the long drought of the fall and win
ter, and careful inquiry in the wheat
producing states gives reason to be-
heve that the crop Of this year viii
be as large as, If not a trife larger,
than the record-breaking crop Of last
year, despite all the losses that have
been suffered.
The Kansas wheat condition is es-
timated at "A per cent, against los
IN April last year. The area was
originally increased u per cent, to
5,ss5, 600 acres, but IS per cent. has
been plowed up, so that the area is
4,s25,OOO acres, against 5,25O,OOO last
year The prospect is for a yield
o. about $4,000, 600 bushels. Mis-
sourfes acreage has increased by $780,
600 acres. In Missouri the wheat
condition is 90 per cent, and the area
Is estimated at 81 per cent. larger
than last year, or 2,449, 900 acres,
against 1852, 900 acres in 1901.
