Commencement at Lawrence. Lawrence, Kans June 10. The com report of the Agricultural department estimates the total wheat crop of the coun try ai bushels, of which is winter, and 153,000,000 spring The condition of the winter wheat is lower than ever before in June, being now 62, against 70 in May.

xne report will show an increase in the cotton area of 5 to 6 per Virginia, wt per North Carolina, 102; Souh Carolina, 103; Georgia, 104; Florida, 102; Atlanta, 103; Louisiana, 107; Mississippi, 106; Texas, 110; Arkansas, 109; The total area exceeds acres. The plant is in a healthy growth and nearly up to the average. The stand good, where recent rains have been excessive, the crop is in the grass. The general average is 92, which is higher than in the preceding years in June. There is an unusual uniformity in its condition only Tennessee showing less than 90.

The state averages are Virginia, 98; North Carolina, 93; South Carolina. 96; Georgia, 95; Florida, 93; Alabama, 92; Mississippi. 62; Louisiana, 95; Texas, 9U; Arkansas, 91; Tennessee, 85., Wheat. The average of the principa States fare, New York, 91; Pennsylvania unio, Do; Michigan, 94; Indiana. 63; Illinois, 40; Missouri, 52; Kansas, 56 California, 58.

In some States there has been a greater loss of area than was anticipated in previous reports. The aver age yield will evidently be less than ten bushels to the acre. The probable product of winter wheat states, according to these returns, is reduced to about 207, uuu.uuu, out none oi the territories are included. ine report or spring wheat is more favorable. The disposition last autumn to reduce its breadth, on account of the low price, was checked by the loss of the winter wheat area, and later by the Russian rumors.

Substantially, the same area has been seeded as last year about 11,000,000 acres. In Northern Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and all the Territories, the per cent, of last year's area is 95; in Wisconsin, 99: in Minnesota, 102; in Iowa 98; in Nebraska 97; and 103 in Dakota. The condition of spring wheat is 97, and indicates a crop ol about 153,000,000 bushels. The aver age for VVisconsin is 88, Minnesota 94, Iowa 100, Nebraska 102, Dakota 101. ihe present report thereof, indicates a wheat crop of 360,000,000 bushels, 23, 000,000 bushels smaller than that of 1884.

The general condition of rye is 83. The area of barley is nearly the same as in 1884, and the average of con dition is 89. The acreage of oats has been increased 4 per cent, and the aver age of condition is 94. Corn will be re ported in July, but voluntary returns indicate an increase of the area. Indians Moving Toward Mexico.

Washington, June 10. In a telegram dated Fort Bayard, N. M. 6th Col Bradley states it is certain that the hos tiiA caches are making for Mexico via Stein's Peak range. The troops and scouts are stationed in Stein's Pass, Doubtful Canon and San Louis "Valley te intercept them.

Under date of Dem- ing, June 8, Gen. Crook telegraphs; Prepare at once to operate against the hostiles, in accordance with my telegram of the 5th inst. should be made with the least possible delay. In my judg ment, as a rule, the Indians thus far have only killed citizens to get arms and ammunition, but if after some of their number have been killed the Indians are driven back into the United States, there is no estimating the damage they will be likely to do. The number of people living in the mountains and their property interest have increased enor mously since the time of victono, so that if the Indians meet among these mountains again such depredations as was never before heard of will be committed.

An early reply is requested which will serve to instruct me as to the intention of the government, but I desire to reiterate that delay is extremely dangerous in the transmission of this dispatch. Gen. Pope says that he has complied with Gen. Crook's request to the extent of his power and submits the matter for action to the War Department. In another dispatch from Deming Gen.

Crook says from the report of Lieutenant Davis just received, its probable that all the Indians have crossed the railroad, having got past the troops in Stein's pass, except a party of six or seven bucks and a few women and children under Mon-gus, who left the main party in Mogollan mountain. The party is now west of Hillsbord, moving south, with Captains Chaffe and Wallace on their trail. The scouts think that the main part a of the women and children are already in Mexico, though its possible that Lawton may intercept them. I have some hopes that Urawford who left Acepar at hve o'ciock yesterday morning with scouts and a company of cavalry may be able to in tercept some of them. Davis has orders to join Crawford as soon as possible who will then follow the trail into Mexico.

CHURCHILL LONGS FOR OFFICE. London, June 10. The chief difficulty encountered by the Conservatives in their discussion regarding the formation of the ministry, says the Pall Mall Ga zette, is the problem what to do with Lord Randolph Churchiil. He claims to have done much in the work of destroying the Liberal government, and demands his share of the spoils.

Older Tories regard him as a troublesome and somewhat dangerous man to have around in tl National council. The Gazette intimates that a polite ef fort will be made to get rid of him: if the Conservatives form" the government he will, it is said, be requested to go to Ireland, if not to succeed Earl Spencer as Lord Lieutenant, then as the Chief Sec reiary.

The Post prints, from among its London correspondents, the following: "I have had a specially arranged interview with Mr. Parnell The center of interest at this moment is the Irish party and Mr. Parnell, and there is the liveliest desire everywhere to know what their action will be toward the Conservative Government. I have just had a long conversation with Mr. Parnell.

He is naturally elated at the great success of yesterdav. He says 'the result is a signal proof of the advantage of a policy of boldness and honesty. We should have expelled the ministry long said he, 'but for the secession twenty members, wno were elected on the same principles as ourselves. It would have been impossible for the gov ernment to have passed the firstcoercion act, and use it as it did, or to pass the second one, if renegades had not broken the unity of our party Parnell dwel at length, with much pride, on tha results accomplished for Ireland under his leadership. "By las night's division he said, triumphantly "we have taught a lesson to all future cabinets.

We have got rid of the pres ent one with its successive failures Forster, Trevelyn and Spencer, and we have saved the only remaining industry of Ireland, whisky, from a permanent burden. We have put an end to coercion or ever." With regard to his action during the rest of the seisson, Parnell as sures me that unless the Tories would attempt to carry through a coercion bill which he is confident they will not, his party will give them, what he calls, a fair trial. His attitude will be "live, and let live." He said, "We have never at tacked merely ior the sake of attack, and will not now." As regards tne Irian Nationalist candidates in England at the election its the intention to contest only four seats, one in London, two in Liver pool and one in Glasgow. He is confi dent of winning these candidates who are not yet decided on. All his energies now will be given to the work of regis tration." CONSERVATIVES WAIT ON NORTH COTE.

London, June 10. A private deputation of Conservative members of Parliament waited upon Sir Stafford Northcote and the Marquis of Salisbury and stated that if the Queen called them they must form a government. Salisbury said he would support Sir Stafford Northcote as Premier and he expected that the Queen's command would place Sir Stafford in that position. The quietness that has prevailed in the stock exchange throughout the present crisis is traceable to the public belief that the Conservatives must maintain for a length of time the continuity of the foreign policy. nARTINGTON SUMMONED TO BALMORAL.

Y.jhas caused a sensation in church and society circles here, this interview and document going to show that the Kev. Father Henry D. Jardine, Rector of bt. Mary's Episcopal Church, of this city, served a term of two years in tne Monroe penitentiary. having been sen tenced when but seventeen yeaos of age for the burglary of the store of his brother in-law, Mr.

Pritchard, of Rochester, in i860. A libel suit for $50,000 has been for some time pending against the Times for publishing certain charges of immorality against Mr. Jardine. The reporters failed to find Father Jardine to-day, but he was interviewed this evening and did not deny that he had served a term in the penitentiary in his early life. He asserted, however, that his congregation had confidence in him, that they were acquainted with his life during the past five years and would continue to support him.

A meeting of the vestrymen was held to-night, the result of which was not made public, but the impression given out is that a majority of the vestry will still stand by the rector. One of them said to a reporter that a resolution was adopted, but it neither exonerated nor condemned him. Kansas City, June 10.

Da vies, the Receiver of Grant Ward, to discover whether or not any of the tracts of land and buildings owned by Mr. purchashed with moneys secured from the defunct firm. Mr. Fish was stubborn in testifying. The first question was as to a number of lots owned by Fish in Chicago; Fish said they were purchased by him during the past three years and he became angry when he was asked if they were purchased with the money received from Grant Ward.

He blurted out once or twice, 'fdon't ask such foolish questions." When questioned as to his stock operations with Grant Ward, Mr. Fish answered, "I have thousands and thousands of dollars worth of stock stolen from me." He was very vig orous in his denunciation of Ward's mining schemes. "I bought stock from Grant and Ward," said the witness, "but it was a swindle; I bought and paid for many mines which only existed in the imagination of Ward; I was induced to take hold of Ward's smelter but Ward's brother told me they never had a smelter." "How about the "Mono mine," the witness was asked. "The Mono mine was one of Buck Grant's," was the reply. "That was a swindle too, the individual next door (Ward) can give you valuable information on these things." To the questions of counsel the witness replied: "Why don't you question the gentleman next door?" "Well," replied the counsel, "you issue a supoena duces te cum and we will bring him in." "Just bring him in and he'll get a black eye and a broken neck," shouted Fish and he looked as if he would carry his threat into effect The examination was adjourned indefinitely.
