Changes in acreage of States are very slight, except in Kansas, where a reduction of twenty-two per cent 1s reported, caused by bad harvests and low prices, Thespring wheat area has been enlarged six per cent from increase of immigration and tarm-making west of the Mississippl in’ the districts traversed by the Northern Pacific Railroad. “Most of the increase 1s in Dakota, which reports an Increment of twenty- four per cént. ‘The total area of wheat 1s about ‘37,000,000 acres, a fraction of one per cent more than that of the previous crop. In condition of Winter wheat there is no inarked change, the ave- Tage being 84.9, a reduction of nine-tenths of one percent. In 1886 the June average was 82.7, Re- ports of short straw are very numerous, In some istricts there are indications that the yleld of grain will be larger proportionally than of straw. ff there Is no increase from this cause, the yield must be less than an average. The harvest 1s already in progress up to the thirty-elghth degree of north latitude, Condition of spring wheat 18 good in Dakota, and Territories, west- Ward, but below average records in_Wisconsi Minnesota, Towa, and Nebraska. ‘The genera average ‘for spring ‘wheat is 87.3 lower than ih recent years, but thirteen points higher than in 1881. At harvesting last year condition averaged 80. Dry weather In April has been Jurious to winter wheat. Insects have committed greater depredations than usual. The central belt, ‘westward from Pennsylvania and Virginia, has suffered local damage from the Hessian fly,’ and the chinch bug has Wrought injury in Iilinols, Mis- sourl and Kansas, ‘The area of winter rye has been diminished over 6 per cent, mainly by a large reduction in Kansas, Conditisn is better than thut of wheat, as usual, averaging 88.9. An apparent enlargement of the barley acreage of 3 per cent 1s indicated, ‘The in- ¢rease 1s in’ Dakota, California, Oregon and the Territories. Condition averages 87, being slighuly above that of wheat. There is a continuance of the extension of oats culture. ‘The increase 18 4 cent, and there 1s a tendency to enlargement n all sections of the country. In the acreage of cotton an increase of 1 per Cent 1s reported. Com dition of cotton 1s higher than in any June since 1880, averaging 96.9, and has only beet exceeded threé times since 1870. ‘There Is generally an un- usually good “stand” or “plant.’ cee ‘The Naval Academy. ‘THE CLOSING EXERCISES TO-DAY—THE ALUMNI AS30- CIATION. ‘The program of the graduation exercises at the Naval Academy to-day 1s as follows: ‘L. ‘The cadets will form, march to the chapel and_ stack arms. 2.

Andrews, of New York, has received by tel- egraph one of the most important decisions that had been given for many years in the matter of the repudiation by Southern States of the interest on State bonds. The decision involves interest of avast amount. Judge Bond, of the United States Circuit Court at Raleigh, N.C., has decided theim- Portant case of the special tax bond-holders in ‘Uheir favor. ‘This suit was brought by Alfred H. Temple, of Raleigh, N.C., 1n the interest of Morton, Bliss & Co., of New York, and other holders of the special tax bonds of that State, The State of North Caro- Una issued those bonds in_ 1860, and has not paid the interest for many years. The ent of the bonds Lo the amount of $10,000, was secured by @ provision in the act of issuance, which ordered a levy of a special tax on all the real and personal Property of the State of one-eighth of one per cent. ‘The object of the sult was to compel the State officials to levy this tax to the overdue cou- pons, which amount to nearly 100 per cent of the total issue of the bonds. The difficulty in all previous suits on State obligations has been that ‘the State has been held to be a necessary party, and the courts have held that the State cot nou be sued by citizens of other States. The plainuff in this case, however, Mr. Temple, isa resident and citizen of North Carolina, ‘The decision holds that the acts passed by North Carolina to stop the collection of taxes to pay this interest are null and void, and that the agents of the State must collect the taxes to. the inter- est. North Carolina has funded all her debt ex- cept this single Issue of bonds, and it 1s expected that a special session of the lature will be Creer toconsider the situation produced by the ion. ‘Tue local judge of Raleigh dissented, but under the law he has no vote in the result. cee Fomiays Narvmat Gas Josie —Pully 50,000 strangers arrive A yesterday, to participate in the natural aS celebra- on, Senator Sherman, Secretary of State Robinson and Gov.

To this meeting Judge Chipman, the new member of Con- gress for the Detroft district, sent a letter, which contains some paragraphs of much more than umporary significance, and capable of a far Wider than’ local “application. He ‘sass: “We have long passed the stage of growth when labor was scarce. Workingmen of ail capacities are abundant in’ numbers,’ All that we do for allens now must be subordinate to the necessities of men, Women and children who are within our gates. " All competition in the industries by which Uhey live by mmported labor 1s an artificial, un- natural, unpatriotic cheapening of their flesh’ and Diood. “This country belongs to us and to our children after us.

Three exceptions are made to Judge Haight’s rulings: First, that no overt act was committed in Erie County, and, therefore, that the county had no jurisdiction; second, that Lawyer Truesdale, of Rochester, should not'have been al- lowed to betray his client's intention to explode the Buffalo still The third exception contains the broad claim that there was nothing in the whoie trial to show that the Everests were guilty, and they should have been dischi ‘The pro- Posed care contains 450 pages of epitomized testi- mony bearing on these points.

Some of them favor a regular discussion on the old lines, so that when Friday arrives not more tian half the bill will have been concluded, to be closed by a formal pro- test. Others are in favor of a point-blank refusal to take part in further debate. ‘The first course 1s dramatic and the second dangerous, as it would almost certainly lead to the partial suspension of the Irishmen.
