Condition of Wheat Crop.

Chicago, III, June l3-Advices re-
ceived this week from all sections Of
the wheat belt indicate that the
yield generally will be larger than at
first anticipated. In important wheat
growing states the reduction in acre
age compared with last year is not so
great as earlier reports indicated.
This is especially true in the great
spring wheat states of the northwest.
Through the winter wheat bell of the
middle states yield nearly as large
as last year is reported from most
quarters. In Kansas aud many points
south the yield of the enormously re-
duced acreage will be larger than at
first indicated. Abundant rains have
fallen, and from all sections come re-
ports that while the straw is short the
growing grain is heading up very
heavy, and an excellent product is
expected. SO far there is no trouble
from insects.

THIEVES FLOCK
TO LONDON
Looking for Rich Picking
During Coronation.
Constabulary Fears 1t Will Not be
Able to Cope With the Coterie
of Bad Men--AmericaEs
Most Feared.

London, June 13-The officials of
Scotland Yard and the Metropolitan
police openly express fear of their in
ability to cope with the many thieves
of all descriptions who have invaded
London for the coronation, and a
statement had been issued to the
public asking residents and visitors
alike TO exercise the utmost vigilance
in guarding their personal property
during the next four weeks. The
citizens of London are especially
warned against leaving their homes
unguarded on the day of the corona
tion parade. The authorities believe
that the invasion of crooks will be
much larger than at the time of the
queens jubilee. The BELIEF is BASED
on the fact that large advance guard
of the gentry has already put in ap-
pearance. The thieves of high and
low degree, confidence men, badger
workers, pickpockets and others who
live by their nerve and wits believe
that there will be rich picking dur
ing the coronation exercises, and they
evidently want to be on the ground
early.
Not only have they come from all
parts of Great Britain, but from all
over Europe and America as we'll
most feared are those from America,
who have long enjoyed an interna-
tional reputation for their extreme
cleverness and boldness in plying
their nefarious trade. The Ameri
cans are considered particularly clever
as hotel thieves and pickpockets. As
a rule they are more intelligent and
of better appearance than their Euro
pean brethren and consequently it is
more difficult to detect them. The
Lundon authorities rely greatly on
the aid of outside detectives in the
work of running down the crooks
New York, Berlin Paris and other
large foreign cities have sent some of
their best men. They are supposed
to be acquainted with the expert
thieves of their respective cities and
will take them into custody on sight,
to be kept under lock and key until
after the close of the coronation festi-
vities. Scotland yard loudly com
plains that it is cramped in its work
by lack of sufficient funds and an ex-
traordinary appropriation is now un-
der advisement to provide for the pro-
per protection of the thousands of dis
tinguished visitors now assembling in
the metropolis.

Questions Answered

James D. Bllsborrow, Wolverton, MINI
Will you please let me know through the
columns of T j o urnal why when the
boundary line between Canada and the United
States was settled the United States was given
the piece OF land north of the 18th parallel
in Minnesota?-When the treaty Of Paris OF
1888 was drawn it was supposed that the 49th
parallel was north Of the Lake Of the Woods,
the geography Of the region being imperfect
ly known at that time When the boundary
line was finally laid down it was found that
the 49th parallel was to the south But the
treaty definitely declared that the boundary
line included the most northwestern point OF
Lake of the Woods. 1t was finally decided
to run the boundary to that point and then
drop 1t south to the 49th parallel.

THE MILLS HOTEL PROJECT.

Minneapolis will have a Mills hotel.
What the Mills hotel in New York
stands for Is pretty generally understood.
A man by the name Of Mills in that city
got the very sensible idea into his head
that the practical way in which to help
men, honest, decent men, who are reduced
to the necessity of making a nickel go as
far as it Will, or of even asking charity
when the last nickel is gone, Is to provide
wholesome food, decent lodging and the
privilege Of the bath at the lowest posi-
, BILE figure. To carry out his idea he built
the Mills hotel, a strictly tire-proof. scien-
titlcally ventilated and sanitary structure
where lodging and meals may be had at
the lowest possible prices, and where the
surroundings are calculated to help men
who are the victims of misfortune to
maintain their selfrespect and enjoy the
best opportunities for improving their
condition.
The Mills hotel has rendered a great
service to men of this class in New York,
while at the same time 1t has proven to
be profitable business venture.
The Mills hotel in Minneapolis will be
conducted under the auspices Of the Union
Mission, an institution which has won the
confidence and support Of practical people
In Minneapolis by years of faithful, quiet,
well-directed and effectual effort for the
betterment Of homeless and unfortunate
men, both as to their material wants and
their moral natures. The Union Mission
has undertaken to buy the st. James hotel
on Washington avenue and adapt that
building to it's uses. Mr.. Akeley, whose
judgment with regard to the practical
value of such an undertaking will be &C
cepted as conclusive, has contributed
1000 to this cause with the understand
ing that $4,000 in all shall be raised for
the purchase and remodeling of the prem
ises named. 1t Is understood that $50, 900
has already been received and it is hoped
that the remainder will be pledged soon.
Certainly Minneapolis will not allow an
institution so well calculated to minister
to public order, so we'll designed to extend
public charity, and having behind it such
a splendid record as this life-saving sta
tion has made, to fail in It's very COM
mendable effort for lack of a sum so in
considerable in comparison with the ben
eft to be derived from it by the COM
munity.

Exclusion Of Chinese students.

New York Commercial Adyertiser-Ws fully
sympathize with the protest made by Sem
ator Cullom yesterday against the passage
OF the Chinese exclusion bill In its present
form. No member Of the senate has given
more thoughtful consideration to the ques-
ton or is better qualified to express an
opinion upon it. He is just firm for the
exclusion Of Chinese laborers as are the
congressman from the Pacific coast, but the
proposed legislation is mot framed that
Cinnamon OF the better classes, who for pur-
poses of this measure include those who are
not coolies, will be free from inquisitorial
proceedings Of a humiliating character II
they come here. And there have never been
so many reasons why they should come here
as there are now. Both in our universities
and in our Industrial and commercial life
Cinnamon are sure to be more In evidence
than before. The proposed bill is framed to
prevent rather than promote liberal treat
ment of the class of Chinese which, on
grounds Of policy and Of our own interest in
foreign trade, we ought to welcome here in
furtherance of an international relation which
is sure to become more binding and impor-
tant in the near future.

Africa Chevalier. Cligny and Rambaud
completed scientific investigation to de-
termine the material resources of the
colonies. In 1899 and 1900 the hinter-
land Of the Ivory coast and French
Guinea was explored by M. Hostans and
Captain d'Ollone. Attacked by the natives
in the Jungle, they fought for six days
without resting, storming forty-four
towns. Against multitude of negroes,
they had only twent sengalese soldiers,
Captain WoeNoell commanding another
expedition, had to fight for every mile Of
advance and soon lost two-thirds of his
command OF. 100 Many other minor ex-
petitions have cleared up geographical
obscurittes. Altogether these explora-
lions have greatly changed the map Of
northwestern Africa.
1t Is doubtful whether France will ever
gain enough In a material way from these
heroic explorations to pay for the loss
OF life and expenditure of money. While
IN the Soudan and the Tchad region there
are fertile countries and valuable for
ests both there and along the coasts, the
climate will forever prevent successful
colonization and, like as not, it will be
the fate of France to be shut off even
from their exploitation. One Of these
days when the African successors of
Champaign and La Salle Joliet and Mar
quette, Tonty and Iberville shall have ac-
compished their glorious work and shall
have shown that now, as for a thousand
years, the French can produce fearless
and indomitable explorers and fighters,

and this demonstration caused the with
drawal by the clericals Of their electoral

opposition by reducing their vote. The
riots of 1898 brought about q more liberal

political disturbances ever since it separ-
ated from Holland after the revolution of

LEOPOLD's TROUBLES.

It is announced from Brussels that the
Belgian government will proclaim mar
tial law Monday. If the socialist riots
was characterized by much violence, yet
the tumultuary proceedings have not been
equal to those Of former years.
The socialists of Belgium are not the only
promoters of discord, for the troubles
which break out from time to time are
caused chiefly by the antagonism of So
cialists, liberals and democrats toward
the clerical party and, in addition there
is kind Of race war, as the Flemish
population are all with the ultra clerical
party, while the Walloons comprise the
people of the Industrial mining and man
ufacturing provinces Of Liege and the
Ardennes, who are French In language,
and liberal or socialistic in politics.
There is no affinity whatever in race or
language between these two elements, and
1t is easy to see how attrition comes
about and what miserabel time King
Leopold must have trying to keep the two
from fighting.
The Walloon element was compelled to
submit few years ago to the passage OF
a law, which put the Flemish language on
an equality with the French, by requiring
official acts to be published in Flemish as
we'll as in French. The socialist 4progra1n
in Belgium, according to the leaders, is
| to have wealth decreed the common prop
erty of all humanity and to abolish the
class system, abolish the monarchy and
set up socialist republic.
This is radical enough. surely. The So
Icialists are now trying to secure stronger
Representation in the parliament, as they
have more voters than the clericals and
yet have only about third Of the seats
in the chamber OF deputies.
In 1899 the rioters barrioaded the
streets. tore up the paving stones and
tried TO burn down the public buildings

An English view OF Cuba.

London Times-The political relations be-
tween the United States and Cuba are q little
difficult to define with precision. To describe
them as protectorate Of the island Is, per-
haps, near enough for practical purposes.
There are some analogies to our own position
In the past with regard to the Transvaal. As
the United States have fought to free Cuba
from Spanish domination, 80 We fought to
save the Transvaal, then BANKRUPT and des-
pondent, from the numerous and we'll
ciplined Zulus. In both cases the fighting
nation has been hailed as deliverer, and in
both cases the delivered have expected the
deliverer to fight for their baux yeux. We
retained suzerainty over the Transvaa1
which its inhabitants proceeded to repudiate
as fast as taxation OF the god mines put them
in possession of means. We trust that the
United States will have better luck, and, In
any case, the conditions are vastly more fa-
vorable to the suzerain power.

Treatment of Cuba.

Portland OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES limits We are
under heavy obligation OF honor to deal
fairly with Cuba. We have taken from her
such preferential access as she had to Spanish
markets, we have refused to allow her e
exercise absolute independence in her foreign
relations, and we certainly should refuse to
permit her to accept part In OF protection
under any other great power. Therefore. we
cannot treat her as stifly as wee would II
these limitations did not exist. We are un-
der some such moderate obligations as the
ways and means committee proposes. per-
haps concessions even greater. But the idea
that she should be treated as child at this
family table, whittier Porto Rico has gladly
come and the Danish islands are coming. is
foreign to the fact. She can have free trade
with the United States any time she consents
to annexation; and as no more humiliation
or disadvantage will accrue to her under that
status than accrues to Florida across the
strait, she cannot complain II her treatment
fits her resolution.
