A Valuable Kesuine of the Production o Mlnneiota--B>fficul'y of Securing ReU nble Returns-Over 300.000 Increase li Acreage- -A Big Increase In Production- TheTleld of Wheat for 1880 Set Dotn at 8,339,350. Stats or Mimseiota, ) DSPABTMSST or STATE, r BCBKAtJ or Statistics, St. Paul. Aug. 10, '80. » To the Newspapers of the State According to law, I hereby present the fol lowing statements of acreage and yield of tin principal cereals of the Stato for the year 1879 and also the acreage for ISSO, as compiled bj me from official returns made to this bureau: The counties of Aitken, Carlton, Crow Wing Murray and Pipestone have not reported to thit date, but have been carefully estimated, and are included in the total results, as shown ir the tables. The total acreage in wheat for 1879 is giver in the table to be 2,762.521 ceres, and the croi therefrom is reported to be 81.215.684 bushels which gives an average yield per acre for th« State of 11. SO bushels, bat as the reports, mad« by the town assessors to the county auditors, are very incomplete, and in manj instances are % endorsed by th« assessor with "farmers refuse to list" oi "this is a statement of twenty-three farmers out of abont sixty, mo»t of them refuse tc give ary Information." it must be stated, that the above result Is far from a true and correct one, and by comparing the total of the offioia] returns with the shipments of wheat la the State and the receipts at places of destination the commissioner is fully convinced, that at least twenty per cent, should be added to the total yield, which than shows the wheat crop oi 7879 to have been 37,462,860 bushels. The low average yield of 11.80 bushels to the aore should perhaps he increased by a corres ponding percentage, but as it is impossible to fix an exact standard of increase between the acreage and the yield, it is given us the result of the reports re ceived by the bureau. The long, dry spell in the summer of 1879, followed by very hot weather just before the ripening of the wheat, caused considerable injury to the crop in cer tain localities and brought the yield in ono county down to 2.16 bushels to the aore. The crop harvested was however of good •iiiaiity, being mostly No. 1, and oats and corn yielded abundantly. The average yield per acre for the State of the other principal cereal* was. for 1870: Oats, 36.85 bushels; corn, 8". 95 bushels; and barley, 24.89 bushels. The increase in the acreage iv wheat in 18S0 over 1879 is 200,804 acres, or 7.27 per cent., mainly in the northwestern part of the State. In the southern part several counties show no change at all, while others have a falling off of from 1,766 acre* in Ja-kaoa county to 17.313 acres in Fillmore county. The full acreage in wheat in 1880 as reported below is 2,963.325 acres, and from the reports so far received, as well from official as from other sources, the average yield par a^ra at the present out }«ok is certainly not lea? than fifteen busbela, which, according to the reported acreage, gives the result to be 44.449,875 bushels. Add to this total estimated yield the same percentage (30 per cent.) as above explained, and the pret entcrop of wheat, now beins harvested in the State, will not fall short of 53,839,850 bushels. With the exceptions of a few tracts in the notthwwtern part of the State, where several ity persons have induced the cultivation of wheat on low lands, which consequently was injured by the revere rain storms early in th« season, and the dam&ge done by the chinch ting* in some of the southwestern counties — 1880, must certainly be recorded as a favor able year for Minnesota cereals, and if th* ex ect acreage could be bad, and the total yield will hold out as oemparcid with 1879, and for mer yearn, the average yield per acre would un dcnbtedly be somewhat higher. The increase in serfage of the other princi pal cereals of the State for 1880 is :Oats. 21.33 per cent.; corn, 19.95 per cent, and barley 22.59 per cent., and at this date they give promise of a very abundant yield.

England is opposed to the plan, urging that such a com mission should consist only of representatives of states bordering only on the lower Danube. Germany supports Austria.

The special errand of his visitor was to remind the general of the criticisms bestowed upon his let ter of acceptance by some Democratic as well as Republican nawsDapers on account of its omission to deal with certain topics of para mount importance. "To what topicsdo they aluae?" asked {Gen eral Hancock, lighting a cigar and planting himself squarely in an armchair. ''To free ships and a revenue tariff. 1 ' "There must be some mistake. If you look at the letter yon will observe that, in the first place, it distinctly accepts 'the principles enunciated by the convention as those I have cherished in the past and shall endeavor to maintain in the tuture.' Further on there is an express recommendation to 'encourage the harmony and generous rivalry among our own industries, which will revive oar languishing merchant marine, extend onr commerce with foreign nations, assist oar merchants, manu facturers and producers to develop our vast natural resources, and increase the prosperity and happiness of our people.' In ho brief a letter," continued the general, "it seemed to me that a full acceptance of the platform, to gether with a special emphasis upon the im portant points defined, was qaite sufficient." "Still it is nrged that a more definite and comprehensive statement of your personal views of these subjects might be of great val ue and advantage at this time." "I do not think so/ responded General Han cock. "I have, it ie true, very definite views — olear to my own mind, at least — upon both the topics yon submit and, I trust, noon oth ers winch concern the country's welfare. It was not without serious deliberation that I concluded they had no proper place in the let ter in which I accepted the great honor con ferred on me by a great party. Two consider ations prevailed : — First — That a letter of acceptance was not the right medium through whioh to announce my final judgment upon any great question de pending for its solution upon future legisla tion and careful execntive review. Second — That I had no sight to mar the present situation of the party by a set of ex pressions superflons to its adopted platform of principles, with which, as I said before, lam in full accord. The questions of tariff and free ships were so interesting to General Hancock that he did not refrain f rera a private discussion of them, which was intensely interesting and at the same time most tantalizing to hi« listener, whom the general forbade to record a word of it "No," said he, "I do not propose to supple ■tent my letter of acceptance by any addendum- It is enough that I am cordially in line with the party and the campaign. 1 ' ' — "Bat, general, perhaps yon are not aware of the importance that attaches to any expres •ion of yours since the letter to General Sher man was published. When one achieves the reputation of an oracle he is not only privil •gad but expected to speak. General Hancock smiled rather grimly at ihis pleasantry. At a later stage of the con versation, when it was suggested to him that in case of his election both Congress and the country would expect him to take the initia tire in respect to measures of precisely the game character which he deolined publicly now to discuss, he modestly/; said there would be weight in whatever recommendation! might be made in a President's inaugural or special mes sage, supported, as his own convictions would be, by the judgment of his constitutional ad visers.

"" :¥•- z~r- *i}~\'- Another Convert to Hancock. The following letter to Col. Forney is from a Pennsylvania resident in Washington City: " Washington, D. 0., July 22, 1880.— Dear Colonel: I have always been an uncompro mising Union man, and I went into the laat war for the preservation of the Union with both my sons, and we did what we - could to preserve the Union and the Constitution as handed down by the fathers. I was in Kansas with Governor Geary, and supported him twice for governor of Pennsylvania. I was ' on Gen.

You would be surprised to see the number of old Grant Republicans here who are quietly for Hancock, and who will make themselves felt before the campaign is over. These men cannot be made to feel that Hancock is a rebel at heart, and that if elected he will be ran by the South, or by any other section. lam glad to see that my old friends (the Bullocks— B. Bullock's sons), the most stalwart Republicans in Pennsyl vania, and who did bo much to give Lincoln his - great majority 'in Philadelphia, are now heart and soul for Hancock. Who did more to suppress the rebellion among your influen tial citizens than this great manufacturing firm? They raised, equipped and clothed whole regiments of Union troops, and now they wish to see the Union they helped 'to save a living and glorious reality, covering with its flag the most magnificent country upon the earth, where peace, equality, constitutional liberty and generous fraternity shall be the universal rule. Is it not worth a »reat effort to bring about such a state of things? Yours truly, Richabd MoAli/ISteb, 1310 Connecticut avenue." BEATING THE RECORD.

New Yoke, Aug. — The grand jury in the United States court to-day made a presentment in the Seawanhaka disaster case. They say they believe the accident was duo to the criminal carelessness and negligence of certain govern ment officers.and officers and owners of the ves pel. . There were indictments against Austin Eaync and Andrew Cref t, inspectors of life boats, etc.;againat Jack Mathews and Alexan der Caldwell, inspectors of boiler machinery; against Charles B. Smith, captain, and Edgar Weeks, engineer of the Seawanhaka; against Benjamin C. Kirk. L. L. H. Barlow, Stephen Tabor, J. Udell, Edward Morgan, Silas Mott and Stephen H. Townsend, directors and own ers of the Seawanhaka.. The offense charged is manslaughter. Bench ■ warrants of arrest have been issued, and certified copies of the presentment have been forwarded to President Hayes, the head of tbo Senate and House of Representatives, the attorney general and the secretary of the treasury. , The grand jury say the inspection of steam vessels and licensing of engineers and other officers of such vessels has not been and is not conducted in a careful and intelligent manner. There is no form or system of examination through which applicants are required to pass, but inspectors simply view the man physically. His testimonials of Xhtml . chapter are ex hibited and then he is rated such few and sim ple questions as suits the conven ience and momentary - intellectual grasp of the inspector. That not one of the seven licensed engineers examined by the jury could answer the question, "How to ascertain the amount of steam in a boiler if for any reason such boiler had no steam gauge," bat in several instances engineers admitted that they had not got the education to figure it oat. In allowance of certificates to officers of Steam vessels, other than engineers, more con sideration is given to the question of the ap pliant's availabilty for a "special place" than to his general qualifications. The form of inspection of boilers and machinery of steam vessels is observed each and every year necessarily. Legislation to remedy existing evils and correct irregularities are strongly urged. Uapt. Smith received great praise from the public and commendation from the news papers for his conduct at the time of the disaster in remaining in the wbeelhouse until the boat was reached. Although the flames sur rounded him and he was badly burned the grand jury say that by his felonious miscon duct, negligence and inattention to his duties and his failure to provide the steamer with such life saving apparatus as would best so jure the safety of all on board in case of disaster, he was guilty of manslaughter, The other in dictments are similar in their nature. All charge the indicted persons with manslaughter. anmssßKß gone mad. Chicago, Aug. 10.— Daniel E. O'Neil, the young man arrested charged with the murder of John McMahen, went mad this morning.
