tional prosperity far in advance of the
highest known records is emphatically
indicated in the crop estimate Of H. v
Jones, crop estimator, who gave out
his annual bulletin yesterday. The
winter wheat production of the United
States he gives as 420,O00,00O bushels
60,000,000 bushels over last year, and
the record crop of winter wheat ever
produced. Cotton and corn are in ex
ceediagly good condition, and with a
hot July and August may also break
the record; but nothing but wet har
vest can lower the wheat crop, says the
Jones estimate.
In company with John Inglis, Mr.
Jones has just completed a careful
tour of the winter wheat producing re

Cleveland, O., June 29.-The Stand
ard Oil company has sent out circulars
notifying all its customers that high
grade gasoline, testing from "A to rs
degrees, have been withdrawn from

the result Of the enormous demand for

Standard company to supply the same.
The high grade gasoline named Is used
almost universally in operating auto

stated that gas engines generally can
be altered so as to permit the use Of

that the emperor and court are leav-
ing Peterhof and returning to
Tsarskoe-Selo, owing to the discovery

Fall Of Cabinet Near.
The fall Of the Goremykin cabinet is
believed to be near. The protest
against its retention, in which the dou
ma and almost the whole country have
joined, has become SO violent and i'm
pressive that apparently the, czar has
determined to heed tito save his
throne. The constitutional democrats
were summoned hlrriedly to a caucus
yesterday afternoon and 1t was ru
nored that negotiations were proceed
ing for the formation Of ministry
headed by M. Mouromtseff, president
of the lower house Of parliament
The campaign to compel Emperor
Nicholas to dismiss the Goremykir
cabinet and accept the principals of a
responsible ministry, is regarded as
near successful close, but the EN-
peror and the court are being fright
ened into surrender less by the violent
attacks made on the government in
the lower house than the alarming
spread Of revolutionary disaffection
among the troops.
