Chicago, June 3.-B. w. Shows re-
port taken to June 1, based on returns
from the country agents. makes the
winter wheat acreage 27,70O,00O acres
against 30,700,000 acres harvested last
year. The condition of the crop is re-
ported at 1872 on the acreage now
standing for harvest against 76.1 May
l on the whole acreage planted. This
shows an actual reduction of five
points or more during the past month.
The above decline is in Kansas and
Nebraska. Kansas now promises only
about fifty million bushels and Nebras-
ka about thirty-three million bushels.
Spring wheat seeding has continued
later than ever before and little was
still being put in June l. In spite
of this long drawn effort the total
acreage reported is nearly Is per cent
less than last years harvested area
CT 17,4OO,O0O acres against 19,1OO,OOO.
Minnesota shows loss of area of II
per cent; North Dakota 15 per cent;
South Dakota 5 per cent. The growth
has been SO small that unconditional
figures mean less than usual but the
average is returned at S6.5, against
94.3 last year and June 1 average
for ten years about ninety-four. The
winter wheat conditions indicate a
crop possibility of about 350,0O0,0 900
bushels, while the spring wheat sit
uation indicates a possibility of about
250,00O0OO bushels or total wheat
crop of 600,00O,0OO bushels against
776,OO00O0 bushels last year. The oats
acreage is returned at 29,5OOO00 acres
against 30,200,O0O last year. The win
ter wheat acres abandoned has gen
orally gone into corn. The condition
of the crop is a very low average
S1.3 against Sc last year and a ten
year average of 81. 1t is the history
of crop reporting that low oats con-
dition on June does not improve as
harvest approaches. so that it is a
reasonable assumption that the pres
ent crop condition is not above $780,
100000 bushels against 100000, 900
bushels last year.

mean p hssly that the state will not
he able & S,Sclude under three weeks
or possibly sAlrty days. The case for,
the defense will take equally as long.
1t may therefore be estimated that
the case will last sixty days after
the opening tomorrow. Sixteen days
of actual work has been spent in the
effort to secure jury. Counting the
adjournments the case has now been
going on one month.
Fremont Wood. the presiding Judge,
is trying his first important murder
case. The charge has been made by
the supporters OF the prisoners that
the state did not intend to give the
men fair trial. And it has evident
ly been the determination of the Judge
to prove that the utmost fairness
must be had. In fact the detail as
to the life of the talesmen under ex-
animation into which counsel for the
state and defense have been permitted
to go has been matter of comment.
Thus far Haywood has been a close
observer of every detail of the trial
ami has consulted with his counsel
on every point. While strong man,
his surroundings and the tedious pro-
gress of the case have told upon the
mans nervous system. Since his ar,
rest he has been accustomed to take
a great deal of exercise. For the last
three weeks he has failed to play his
customary game of quoits in the Jail
yard or to walk on the lawn. At the
same time he has been heavy eater,
and the physicians say that the nerve
strain and failure to observe the or
binary rules of health brought on a
congestion resulting in irritable head
aches.
One of the possible delays after the
jury box has been filled is the in
clination on the part of counsel on
both sides to go very carefully over
the record of the men who have so
far qualified.
A number of detectives have been
at work on this and it is stated that
afhdavits have been secured and may
be used to show that the court should
reopen the examination of two or
three men now in the jury box on
account of public expression of opin-
ion at some time since the arrest of
the prisoners.

the constitution drafted by Malikoff,
who was then virtual dictator of Rus

the emperor was even ascribed to
a reactionary plot that had for It's ul-
