WASHINGTON.

A Washington report has it that Dr. Chauncey M. Depew is soon to wed an $8,000,000 heiress. The Morgan-Rothschild syndicate has made its final payment of gold on the $62,400,000 bonds bought from the Government last Februaßy and the gold reserve Wednesday jumped to $107,447,855. _ The assigumeut of agents in thq new system of gathering crop statistics has been completed, save for two districts. The new plan practically does away with the State agencies, as the States are grouped into districts which only one State agent will supervise. The present system of county reports will also be supplanted by one providing for a reporter in every township, and the two systems will be used conjointly, each acting as a check on the other. The country will be divided into twenty-one districts.
