THE INDIANA WHEAT CROP OF 1879 GBAXD TOTAL, 65,000,000 BUSHELS. The theory has been urged that in the immediate ' future the people of the United Slates and of other countries, in so far as . they may be dependent upon this country for wheat, must look for supplies from lands beyond the Mississippi and from the far Northwest. 1 To establish this theory we have been told that the wheat fields of Western tew York, Pennsylvania,' 6hto anrl 1 Indiana have been practically given up to other crops, while all eyes centered upon the new lands of the West, from the boundaries of Arkansas . to British North America. Cut this theory is erroneous, except in so far as farmers in the older wheat-growing States have found it profitable to abandon wheat culture for more remunerative crops; and the correctness of this view of the subject is conclusively established by facts relating to wheat culture for the current year, 1879. The first thing to be considered in the discussion of any of the cereal crops, so far as tbe discussion relates to the ability of the country to supply, in any degree, the foreign demand, is to ascertain, - approximately, the quantity required , for home consumption. The best authority at hand estimates the home consumption of all the cereals at 34 bushels per capita. If we estimate the population of the United States at 50,000,000, the quantity of cereals required to meet the borne demand would be 1,400,000,000 bushels. The total yield of all the cereal crops in the United States for the year-1877 was 2,178,934,646 bushels, and if the crop of 1879 is placed at the same amount, the sur plus for export would ' reach 778,934,00 tushela, but it is fair to assume that the cereal crop for 1879 will be ' fully 20 per cent, above 1377, which would give .- for export .. 1,214,724,375 bushels. The . wheat crop o ; , the ? , United States in 1877 is given at 364,194,148 bushels, while the exports for that year amounted to 7,043,937 bushels leaving for -..home consumption, seeding, etc, 307,130,209 bushels, or 6 4 bashels per capita, estimating the population in that year at 43,000,000. vWe assume that the wheat . crop-i for 1879 will reach 450,000,000 , bushels, which would be about, 86,000,000 busheli ebove the crop of 1877. ; This estimate of increased production we regard as admissible,' owing to the increased acreage and largely increased production in all of the States. This Increased production is' brought into special prominence - by the crop in Indiana,' which 'we herewith' tabulate, and which aggregates 55,000,000 bushels. Adhering to our estimate of 450,00,000 bushels for 1379, and estimating the population of the country at 50,000,000, and that six bushels per capita is a fair estimate for home consumption, etc., the United States will have a surplus of wheat ' for export amounting to ' 150,000,000 bushels, an excess -over the exports of 1878 of 56,860,704 bushels. We are told by the " New York Produce Exchange that the ' European export demand will reach 250,000.000 bushels, as. follows: France," " 80,000,000 bushels;' Great TBrfliah, 120,000,000 bushels; Germany, 10,000,000 bushels; Switzerland, 10,000,000 bushels; Spain and Portugal, 5,000,000 bushels, and Italy 25,000,000 bushels. If these estimates are correct, the United States can supply three-fifths of the foreign demand, leaving the remainder, 100,000,000 bushels, to be supplied by Russia, Australia, British India, Canada, Egypt, Roumania and the Turkish Provinces. : . " ' Assuming the papulation of Indiana to be 2,000,000, and that six bushels per capita is re quired for home ' consumption, our figures show that the State will have for export 43,000,000 bushels, or something above 17 par cent, of the entire foreign demand, and more than 28 per cent, .of the entire available supply of the whole country for exportation. These estimates,, based as they are upon the most reliable data that can be obtained, brings Indiana into the boldest prominence e a wheat-growing State. "This will tbe stall more readily seen by a comparison with - other States. . The wheat crop of Minnesota is estimated at 40,000,000 bushels, or 15,000, 000 busbels below the crop of Indiana, and the crop of California is estimated at 33,000,' 000 bushels, or 22,000,000 less than tbe crop of this State. ", The publishers of the Sentinel have taken special pains in compiling tbe following esti mates of the Indiana wheat crop to arrive at the facts, and the information is derived from the most authentic sources available. . Circu ' lars were addressed to tbe auditors of the vari ous counties in the State, and in cases where no replies have been received, other means of information have been resorted to, but in every case with a prudent regard for relia bility.

There is a lurking suspioion that the element of astonishment has not been extracted from him. .'; Hos. Wm. T. Hamilton, who was nomi nated for governor of Maryland last week by the Democratic party ot that commonwealth, is a native of Washington county, Md aad still resides there. He Is over 60 years of age, has been a lawyer of prominence in Maryland for 30 years, served two yean In the State Leg' islature and three terms In the Lower House of Congress.' He also sat in the United States Senate from .March 4, 18y, to March 3, 1875. when he was succeeded by Senator Whyte. During the sessions of 1874-75 he made several speeches on the civil rights and the enforce ment bills. He was a candidate for governor In 1875, but was defeated in the convention by Governor John, Lee Carroll. Mr. Hamilton appeared before the 'convention alter being notified of his nomination. He accepted the honor In a speech of considerable power, concluding as follows: "My Democratic Irienda, allow me to admonish yon that the elections of this year - are tbe precursors of next, The great struggle is then to be renewed, and with an earnestness and a aeal never before equaled, and with appliances perhaps never to the same extent used before, Great antagonizing principles and . creeds meet it may be for the final trial tbe CaesarIsm of centralization against tbe liberal and benign principles of JeSbrson, the underlying principles of our precious Federal Unlon-the reserved rights of the States are to be put on trial.

Unfortunately for all the parties concerned, the truth has not yet fully appeared here, but I, give you news from a source as to which there can be no question. ; . THK TBOUBLK A BOSS ' . ,:', between ex-Governor Sprague and Senator Conkling. The affair occurred on ' Friday evening. Either on Wednesday night or Thursday morning Senator Conkling arrived at Karragansett Pier. With him, or after him, came a trunk and a large valise. Thtse articles of baggage were taken to the Sprague mansion by the direction of Senator Conkling. He remained there as a visitor the next day, and was on a hotel piazza the next evening conversing with some ladies. During Friday afternoon a UOVERNOB 8PRAGUK , I. was observed driving about JSarragansett Pier, having been at home entertaining his guests the night previous, though he bad been absent lor a day or two Detore. ue had trun with htm: -which it is believed that be loaded earlier in the day. Finally he drove to the rear of his house, which, is about a mile and a half from the Pier, and came through the bouse in a -somewhat excited condition.,' Be got out to the piazza, where be round senator (Jon sling conversing with Mrs. . Sprague, who,, was, at - a . winaow. Governor Sprague then" said,' addressing Senator Conkling: I . "abk xooLAkMED ,',3iEr.;" Conkling replied, "No, I am not." "Then,'' said ex-Governor -tjuracue, !'I give you five minutes to get off these prem ises. It yoa are not then away I will nre at you." xix Governor aprague is saia- men to cave made use of some further exasperating language. Senator Conkling, seemingly much surprised, but remembering that he was under ex Governor Sprague's roof, rose and took a few steps away, while Mrs. Sprague came out of the bouse and stood between them. Ex Governor Spraeue stood looking at Senator Conkling while a carriage drove p which had been ordered to take Mrs. Sprague for a drive. -When Mrs. Sprague found that ex-Governor Sprague was apparently determined on . ' AW UNPLEASANT SCKXB, ';' ' she called for her hat and shawl, which M r. Martin, a friend and a gue:t in the house, brought her. In the bouse at tbe time as guests were Mrs. Martin, Miss Martin and Air. Alexander, as well as Senator Conkling. A story which has been circulated here that Senator Conkling carried an invalid out of tbe house, is nonsense. He went away entirely alone. " J , : ; .i ' . ' THE SCATTERING. ; 1 f'CONK," CUMBS. After ex-Governor Sprague had repeated his peremptory order to Mr. Conkling to quit his house, there was some hesitancy on the part of the New York senator as to what should be done, but be finally took his hat, and, entering the carriage, went down to the Pier, stepping on tne way at tfiuirjgton restaurant. Scarcely had he arrived there and got out of the conveyance than exGovernor Sprague, who bad followed, csmi up, and it is therefore certain trial tne latter must have kept his horse bitched apt ready for use, ,,, , . . " TO FOLLOW SENATOR CONKLING, On the arrival of ex-Governor Sprague at Billington's another exchange of words took place, but there is not the slightest testimony to"show "that at any time a hand-to-hand encounter such as has been spoken of freely bere to day, took place. But u is certain that there was an excited and threatening encounter between the two in one of the most public spots In the whole place, and thus it came to pass that the most exagger ated irumors were set in motion. . Sifted down, the foregoing are the principal tacts n the case so far as Mr. uonziing ana air. Sprague are concerned. On Thursday night, according to ex-Governor Sprague himself, '; HE COCLD HOT SLEEP.' ' ' '' , ' ' He said to a tradesman here the next day that his mind was troubled,- that - he could get no rest, and that some one had to be cleared out oi his nouBe mat xnaaymgni.

The attentioos which Senator Conkling paid Mrs. Sprague during the first year of their intimacy were not very marked. The scandal did not become the topic of social eossiD till about two years ago. Then they bezan to appear frequently in eacn otner s company at social dinners, public receptions, nnvata names ana nubuc amusements. Senator Conkling's family has not resided in Washington for fixe or six years. The ill health of Mrs. Conkling and the distaste o Miss Conkling. the senator's only child, for Washington society was tne excuse given the public for their absence. It . was, how ever, no secret to the initiated that . v, ' A LIAISON OF. THE SENATOR , , with the wife of a Federal .official wellknown in New York was the real reason for the abdonment by Mrs. and Miss Conkling of the aocletv of the National eaDital. Tbe relations of Conkling to this woman did not cease till some time late in the- year 1875 or early in 1876. Coincident therewith, the scandal of his devotions to Mrs.' 8prague began to grow apace. For a year they attracted but little attention outside of official society. Within this circle, bowever, they were the subject of more or less comment. The house of a Southern senator who knew Mrs. Sprague In ber girlhood days in Ohio was for a long time the trysting .place. ' - - , : HUSBAND AND WIFE.

'-.. ' i SCENES TS THE SENATE. ' ' IN THE TOILS ' ' ,'';' 'r''1 So dramatio ' and' public-defy ing were the actions of . Senator Conkling and Mrs. Sprague that it became one of tbe additional incentives for scene lovers to visit the Senate chamber, for, however dull the debate, there was a never-flagging interest in witnessing a great leader in debate so in the toils of , a brilliant woman that he openly paid bis court to her from his desk in, the Senate chamber as she fondly watched him from the private gallery set wide, for the use of senators' families. , This j(! '-:-:DAILY PCBLIC' DEMONSTRATION : ' was at times of such an exaggerated character as to almost surpass belief, unless actually witnessed. . At times it seemed aa if every speech Conkling made was for Mrs. Sprague's benefit. Tbe moment she entered the gallery was almost invariably the signal for Conkling to pose for her benefit by at once entering by some pretext into whatever migbt happen to.be pending before the Senate. It was over a' year ago that Mrs. Sprague's attendance upon the proceedings of th9 Senate became so marked. From tbat time there has hardly been a day when she has not been found eagerly WATCHINO CONKLING'S EVERT MOVEMENT, . while they exchanged notes or ardent glances with the carelessness of lovers so beside themselves with ' their passion for each other as to pcorn to employ any means to conceal their extraordinary intimacy. The average visitor who visits the galleries of Congress goes there to goesip and study the personal peculiarities of prominent people, so that it is safe to say that several hundred people each day lazily and maliciously followed every movement of the' foolish creatures who found lite too short for the affectionate intercourse of private hours alone to satisfy them. During the last extra session Mrs. Sprague's attendance on ?he Senate became ' .' 7 MORE NOTORIOUS . .' than it had ever' before. Early aad late, through interesting or stupidly and excruciatingly dull days, she was always found in as unflagging attendance as the official re porters. When she was ready to retire, Mr. Conkling always accompanied her to her car nage. During one ot the hrst aii-nignt ses sions of the prolonged debate of this last extra session, Mrs. Sprague sat in the front row of the private gallery seats watching until 3 o'clock in the morning. This made such an uproar of . , 1 SCANDALOUS GOSSIP " ' among the senators and attendants of the Senate that Mrs. Sprague the next uight flanked herself with two ladies, the perfect pinks of respectability Mrs. Senator Blaine and Mrs. Don Cameron. When Mr. Conkling made 1 HIS FIRST LONO SPEECH in debate his private secretary ' retained a seat in the special gallery for Mrs. Sprague, and sat by ber side to protect her froni tbe enormous crowd that packed the galleries on tbat occasion. When be bad concluded, and was surrounded by a crowd of eager associates warm in their congratulations, it was noted that Mrs. Sprague seized a card from the secretary and scratched a line thereon in all the hot baste of eager, enthusiasm. The secretary caught ' THE NOTE . ...,',; and disappeared. " A moment after he was seen approaching Senator Conkling, who turned away from half a dozen senators who stood with outstretched hands and eagerly read this little note.- - As be glanced over it a deep flush of pleasure passed over his face, while be put tbe note in his pocket and looked a warm glance of thanks to Mr. 8prague, who was eagerly watching bim from the gallery. This open acknowledge ment ' of a anion ot hearts was one ot the sensations of a very interesting afternoon. The favorite amusement of spectators, who were fond of watching the Sprague-Conkling comedy, was to study the ostrich-like ART OF CONCEALMENT . employed by the two in writing each other notes. .Ridiculous as it may seem, it is nevertheless fact that there was hardly ever a time when Mrs. sprague visited tbe gallery that the two did not at ' once begin a correspondence. a aa means of emphasizing the open glances which they were constantly exchanging. 1 Mr. Conkling would write Mrs. Sprague a note, fold it up deliberately, and place it with a oiank piece oi paper ana a small, envelope inside of a large official envelope, when ;.: :,.', A COLORED MESSENGER .,1'..,', would appear 'Without even being sum moned, and the package would be banded him. Then he would disappear..' -After a while he would be seen tc enter tbe gal lery and to band . the large envelope to Mrs. Sprague. Instantly all the ladies about ber would be on . the qui vive. Mrs. Sprague was never in a hurry. It was ber custom to place the envelope upon ber lap and let it remain : there for- some moments, as if it were some trivial matter. Then, , after proper time, she would open tbe envel pa, read the molosnre, and then the blank piece of paper would be used for - , .u--. ..... li--- WRITING THE ANSWER. " Then the colored messenger would again appear and receive the reply. As the messenger left tbe gallery It was Conkling's habit to rise and go to the doors leading out from the center of ' the senate chamber, where he would stand with bis hand behind him, apparently absorbed in tbe proceedings of the senate. Any close observer would however, notice the doors behind bim to open slightly, while a dusky baud would drop tbe note into the bands tbat were waiting to receive it. Even then there was but little attempt at concealment. Conk' ling would run to his desk, tear open the envelope, and eagerly read the note in closed. '- .!.', ' 1 ' ' .1 : t , .,. THESE INCIDENTS .' ,:. were the property -of every person who visited the Senate during this last extra session, bat no one except Matt. Carperter was ever bold enough to permit Conkling to ea that he understood what was going on. Upon the occasion of Conkling's receiving the congratulatory note at tbe close of bis great speech. Carpenter assumed his most rakish air and went tip and chucked the dimified Conkling in the ribs ' with hilarious chuckle as if to say: "'Oh, yon lucky dog, yon." Bat it was noticed that Conkling became very stiff and red at this assumption of pleasantry, ana that . CARPENTER at once gave up his c ha fling. During the closing nights of the extra session Mrs. Snraeue. in a yellow-brown dress of summer goods stnpea wiui a aaer orowu, m uunu of roses at ber throat and a black lace bat on her brown hair, followed Mr. Conkling with most unflagging attention. She was present during the terrible , . , ., , LAMAB-CONKLINO EPISODE, and it is to her presence that everyone at tributes Mr. Conkling's excessive arrogance. ana aim tuiuiwuh vt nfij r 'drew out xsunara cauauo closing raiuar.
