SHORT WHEAT CROP MEANS
THE LOSS OF MILLIONS
State Statistician Presents Further
Figures, Showing that Yield
Is Reduced.
MANY ARE SOWING OATS
Raising of Staple Considered I'M
practicable in Many Counties,
Due to Peculiar Conditions.

Intrenched behind "A vOluminOus mass OF
figures from which the ordinary mortal
could extract neither meaning nor sense
calmly sits State Statstician Benjamin r.
Johnson Seemingly oblivious OF the chaotic
condition OF affairs which reigns about,
he ever grows more absorbed in the long
increasing line OF figures in front OF him.
At last, after days and days Of ceaseless
figuring. careful estimation and faultless
addition. Mr.. Johnson has reasoned out that
this years wheat crop. which, second only
10 corn, is the farmers main standby, will
be but half its normal size.
After the severe exposure suffered by tho
crop in February, the wheat raisers appre-
hendcd the present outcome, and the con-
hrmation of their fears only adds another
phase 10 the seriousness of the situation.
Something must be done at once, but the
farmers are puzzled to know what that
something is.
From letters received from many farmers
IL appears tEat they are unwilling TO rely
upon improved wheat crop and are
pursuing the latter course.
The inclemency Of the weather during the
past month has played havoc with the in
terest Of all tillers of the soil. and all their
work has been handicapped Never before
IN the past twenty years have they had to
face such a discOuraging outlook as that
which now opens up before them.
1t is shown by reference to statistics that
the average crop in previous years has
amounted TO H.345.440 bushels which. val
ued at about 80 cents a bushel, would be
81, Oh, SOS. This crop is raised on 26l3,215
acres Of land Therefore it may be inferred
that II the crop has fallen off this year &c
the extent Of 80 per cent. the output will be
n 1857 bushels, which means a loss OF
$15,545.9O4.
Last year the crop amounted to q. 713, 35I
bushels. valued at $40, 7S5,01S which though
considerably below the average, would be
"a gOdsend this year. The assessors OF
eighty-nine out Of ninety-two counties have
sent in their reports. which reveal the APP
proxinate state Of the crop. although many
townships have not been heard from.
Mr.. Johnson, who lives in Benton county
says that wheat raising there is imprac-
ticable.

CUSTOMS OFFICIALS
REFUTE CHINESE STORY
Alleged Mistreatment of Visitors
to Worlds Fair Explained at
San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 13.-Oficials of
the United States immigration Bureau at
this port refute the story of alleged mis-
treatment of Chinese visitors to the worlds
fair on account of which the Chinese minis
ter at Washington, ID. c., is said to have
filed a protest with the State Department
They say that the cases referred to are
those of twelve Chinese who arrived on Feb.
% last, coming i'm the steerage and one in the
cabin without the necessary certificates. a
report was telegraphed TO Washington and
pending the arrival of the reply the serV-
ants and the cabin passenger were kept
on board the steamer for four days, at the
end of which time they were, with ex-
ception, permitted to land and resume their
journey. The exception was Chin All
Sheng, who was denied a landing because
he was afflicted with a lOathsome conta-
gious disease.
The cabin passenger. in conformity with
the regulations, was required to give a bond
i'm the small sum of 500 as security for his
going back to China after the close of the
exposition.

SECRETARY DISCUSSES
HANNA MEMORIAL CHAIR
Lasting Monument to Ohio States
man Is Planned in College
Endowment.


William G. Oswald, of Cleveland, secre-
tary of the Marcus a Hanna Memorial
Chair Association, was in the city yesterday
calling on Governor Durbin and other
prominent Republicans. While in the city
he also called to see John Mitchell presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers OF Amer
lea, who is one of the trustees of the as
ISOLATION. Governor Durbin is also trus-
tee
The association was formed for the pur-
pose OF raising $4,000 with which TO en-
dow chair of political science in Western
Reserve University at Cleveland. which will
stand as a monument to the late Senator
Hanna.
THE movement is yet in its formative
stage" said Mr.. Oswald last evening. but
we have received such encoura cement that
we are already assured of success. Some
subscriptions have been received, but the
amounts and the names of the subscribers
have not yet been made public.
I'VE believe that IL is peculiarly hitting
that the memorial TO Senator Hanna should
take the form of an endowment OF chair
of political science. Such a monument Will
do far more to perpetuate his memory
than a shaft of stone or a statue OF bronze,
no matter how imposing they might be,
for il will stand for just what the senator
stood for and will be of material aid and
benefit TO countless generations OF young
men
when l walked over to your Statehouse
to-day / stopped and admired the statue
of Governor Hendricks, and recalled what
Hendricks had achieved and what he stood
for, but it impressed me because L was a
stranger Hundreds Of people pass the
statue every day and never give il a
thought. and it cannot be of tangible bene-
fit to anyone.
"As Senator Hanna devoted the last and
perhaps the most active years OF his life
to the study and practical application of
political theories to our present and flu
ture welfare, it seems eminently appro-
Pirate that a memorial should be the one
undertaken by the association, for it will
not only honor him, but will be a stimu-
lus to future generations"
