». Secretary

Husk in his third animal report estimates that the increase in the value of agricultural pro.lncts this

year

over

last will not be less than £700,000,000. lie asserts that during the first three months of the present fiseal year American exports in cereals alone have aggregated Sili,000,000, with indications that the sales abroad of the surplus from farms will, during the present year, largly exceed those of any previous twelve months. He notes the increase of some $28,000,000 in the imports of agricultural products during the lirst ten months under the present law, by comparison with the .same period during the last year under the old law, but emphasizes the fact that the increase is confined almost entirely to articles not competing with home products such as sugar, tea, coffee, etc. At the same time, he claims that tho changes in the rales have checked the importation of products which may be produced at home. lie notes a decrease in tobacco imports from 517,000,000 to 50,000.000, a fulling off iu foreign burley of nearly $1.'00,000, in eggs Sl,2ii0,000, in horses nearly 51,500,01:0, and a gradual decline in the imports of all live stock. Referring to the import of hides, admitted free of duty, lie says that this causes a great depreciation in prices realized for hides of home production, and earnestly recommends that the duty provided for in section 3 of the tariff act, approved October I, 181)0, be imposed ill all cases where the counties from which such hides are shipped have, not granted equal concessions in regard to the admission of the agricultural products of the Uniten States. lie speaks at some length of the withdrawal of the governments of tiermany. Denmark and Italy of the prohibition against American pork, reviews the subject of meat inspection and urges a system of inspect ion for all articles of food which are the subject of interstate or foreign trade. Thi! secretary earnestly recommends that congress be asked to make un appropriation sufficiently large to extend the inspection to all applicants.

He estimates that the losses to our pork raisers during the past ten years owing to the prohibition, which an efficient market inspection can alone remove, aggregate over $200,000,000. He concludes that the condition t)f the United States trade and the vigilant supervision of our government juslify the strongest presen-tation-to the British government of the grievance which our cattle raisers suffer unjustly by reason of its arbitrary regulations enforced against American cattle, coupled with an urgent demand for their removal, adding that they have been clearly shown to be use-1 less, and that their maintenance can only be regarded as an evidence of unfriendliness. lie says we have far more justification for the exclusion from tho United Statos of all animals coming from lireat Britain and its dependencies than they have for, the interposition of any obstacles to cattle exports from the United States.

The secretary regards it as highly desirable that the people of foreign countries should be informed of our resources and facilities for supplying their wants, and refers to the work done in Great Britain during the last year by the special agent of the department charged with introducing Indian corn and its products to the attention of Europeans as an economic substitute for other cereal foods, and highly commends the work already done in this direction.

The secretary deems it tho duty of liis department to keep the farmer fully informed of the market value of his wares in order that he may know before he markets his goods just what their value is. lie congratulates the country upon the success of the experiments In the extraction of stigar from sorghum. "There seems to be no reason," he says, "why we should not look forward with confidence to the day when the 8100,000,000 paid by Americans to foreign producers for sugar should be turned into the pockets of our own people."

In all efforts towards diversifying crops climatic conditions must play an important part, and in this connection he declares his convictions of the importance and value to agricultural interests of the transfer to his department of the weather bureau.

In reviewing the work of the division of chemistry with reference to the adulteration of foods the secretary emphasizes especially the adulterations of coffee, which are found to extend to a very large percentage not only of the ground coffee but the coffee bean, wholly artificial beans having becn introduced into the market, of which many samples bought on the open market were found to largely consist. These artificial beans are sold to the trade at

four

cents a pound. In large measure tlicy are imported, and the secretary urges that such importations, as well as their manufacture and use in this country, be absolutely prohibited.

Touching the experiments in producing rain, lie states briefly that they have been made, but that he has no data yet at hand which would justify him in making any conclusions on the subject.

In concluding his report Secretary Rusk states that from tho time he assumed the reins of oflicc he has devotod his personal attention to a gen eral enlargement of the scope of the

work of lie department in Hut interest •f practical agriculture, especially to the cxteiisi-m of the for the dtsnr-:it of the surplus of our great staple i.-ripi. He points out liiat. to fully i-arry out bis views will unquestionably involve liberal expenditure, but Ii says that within twenty years the efforts of the department on such lines as he has laid down will have increased the value of annual agricultural products from between 5:1,000,000.000 and Si,000,000,000 to at least twice that enormous sum.

mpoi'taiit Order to Grand Army Veteran* —Comnmmler Palmer S.iys They Must Not Attend Reunions Whore the Stnrn and IJurs An* Displayed.

AI.HANV, N. Y., Nov. 0. (Jen. rainier, commander in chief of the Crand Army of the Republic, has just made public the following order: "HIC MtylTAItTKIIS CltANI) Al(MY OPT1IK ItEPl.ll'lll'. AWTANT EN1:I1AI.'S OPFICK. Alhany. N. Nov. 4.—The utU-iiUon of (lie commander In elilcf has been culled tn tho fact that comrades wenrlnp (lie Undue and uniform o( the Urntul Army of the Republic participated in icciMit demonstration where tlm confederate flair was carried nail displayed. "For four long years j»,u hrun-d all the perils and vicissitudes of war to wipe out all thill that (lag represented. When your irreat work was accomplished thesriind union armies had become the mosl powerful and elTeettve the world had ever seen. They melted away like the snow on the hilltops under the beams of noondny sun. You resumed the peaceful vocations of civil life and the nation resumed once more its career of unparalleled progress, prosperity and hap piness. There never was ia the history of any civilized warfare such magnanimity evinced toward a foo as the terms of the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox. We had learned to admire tho gallantry of the men we had vanquished as only men could admire them who had tested their endurance and valor upon many bloody battlefields. "When they iaid down their arms we sought jeace we reached out the rlKlit hand of lellowship to all who would accept tt on the hrond grouads of American citizenship nnd uncoadltioaal loyalty. The contest had cost us untold millions of dollars and the lives of thousands of the bravest and the best who marched under tho stars and stripes down into the jaws of death, not for a party or a crood, for men of ull conditions and anillatlons gave up their lives to suve the nation from disruption nnd the Hag from dishonor. To day the same Hag which floats over and protects tho conquerors protects equally as well the conquered. "We udmlrc the spirit which prompts the people of the south to commemorate the gallantry of the men who sacrillced their lives to the 'lost cause,' but that civil coutlict settled one great question—the battle for the union was right, the doctrine of secession was wrong and the stars and stripes, tho cmblim ol liberty, equal rights, Jas-

tict? mill ln\\\ la tho only ting which the loyal people of ibis grout nation respect nnd honor. We saved our cMhlrcn the contest that they would huve hcen compelled to cucounter. We have given thein heritage of pence and prosperity instead of enormous and expensive litigation to be nettled by a jury of soldiers, nnd to-dny every American citizen 1B in full enjoyineut of the fruits of our grent labors. We cannot afford to lo.*e sight of the valor that achieved victory for the right. We can never forget wl»at the contest cost us in bpjod and treasure. We must not forget that loyalty to country la not mere sentiment, but that it requires a devotion to principle, and that principle means that the tlag which every union soldier stood ready to deft ud with bis life must now be saluted with nc nor. One of the greut principles of our orgnuizatlou 1B to teach the rising generation loyalty to country and lldelitytoduty. The union soldiers have repeatedly said to the .soldiers of the south: We have no desire to arouse sectional animosities or passions engendered by the war. Give us loyalty nnd in return we will give you frntornity. "You have demonstrated your fruti rnity on numerous occasions, but when comrades joined in the recent ceremonies in honor of the tncm» ory of a patriotic southern journalist nnd philanthropist they found their fraternity confronted with the 'emblem of treason,1 which is an evidence to you that there still lurks in the hearts of a few a desire, by the display of that tlag, to lire the hearts of the young generation of the south to rebellion. "A comrade wearing the badge or uniform of the order participating In any demonstration where the rebel* ting is displayed violates his obligation 'to maintain true allegianco to the United States of America to honor its constitution, to discountenance whatever tends to weaken loyalty, Incite treason or rebellion and to encourage universal liberty ana justice to all mankind' nnd brings dlsgraco upon the order of which he is a member. "While the commander In chief has neither tho right nor disposition to interfere with the individual rights or privileges of members of the order, he has assumed an obligation to protect It against any and ull nets that will bring reproach upon its good mime. Do you propose to (surrender what you fought for and what your com rades who sleep in heroic graves died for! As the stars ure tixed In the skies, so your pnirlotism is llxed nnd Immovable to pre serve tbe memories and fruits of that great struggle. If this grand army of loyal citizens serves no other purpose it will keep fresh In the huirts of tho rising generation that love e.' «\.rrtryt that devotion to the union, that reverence for the stars and stripes, the constitution nnd tbe laws, which In the fu tare, as they have been in the past, must be the anchors which bold us firmly to a solid, permanent and prosperous national existence. "With these words of admonition, I have sufficient contldence in your honor and fidelity to the principles of the order to feel that there will be no further participation ir^nny demonstration or parade where 'the emblem of trca son* Is carried or displayed. Let the cause which triumphed in the war bo maintained in tho completeness of its victory and tho fullness of its signilicnncc. "JOHN IVAUUBH. Commander in Chief.'1

STOItlKS OK PltlVATlON.

CnATTANootiA, Tenn., Nov. 9. Of the -ISO convicts turned loose by the mountaineers only about 150 have been returned to the state authorities, although the most vigorous efforts have been made to catcli them. Most of these ISO are petty criminals whose terms of punishment would have been over soou Those who had been condemned for theft, arson and crimes of personal violence are, for the most part, still at large, and are either safely concealed in Tennessee until their next crimes reveal them, or are across the border in Kentucky. Of tlioso captured, most gave themselves up and express great delight at, a return to confinement when liberty was so painful.

There were until noon Saturday about fifty convicts in the jail yard here in Chattanooga. They were petty thieves who gave themselves up at Wartburg. in Morgan county. They were taken Friday by the expedition -sent out from Knoxville by the warden, and were in such a sorry condition that they hailed the arrival of the stiite otlieers as a sort of rescue expedition. They reached Chattanooga in time for supper. The jailer said that never in his long experience had he seen men eat ns these wretches ate. They saiil that they had eating nothing but some green stuff found in the woods for more than twenty-four hours. The jailer provided a supper of beef and bread with coffee of a most indifferent quality. The convicts fell upon the meat which was given them and tore it and swallowed it as a pack of famished hyenas would have done.

The convicts told a most pitiful story of what they had suffered. Most of thein are from the lowlands of west Tennessee, and not at all acquainted with the mountain region. When the miners told them to strike for the north they at once set out, and found themselves lost in the forests. One of the convicts said that as he and a companion, who was in prison for stealing a cow, were stumbling along in the darkness the stones and earth gave way under them. lie caught in a tree and heard his companion rolling down the mountain Side, shouting nnd cursing. Soon there was a sound of tumbling stones and then a loud cry and a faint sound of a fall. He climbed painfully up the mountain side, and as soon as he could muster strength and courage he went on. Another prisoner left the companion he was traveling with dead in a hollow where they had taken shelter from the cold. As soon as the convicts got out of the immediate neighborhood of the mines they were treated by the people as con, victs are ordinarily treated.

The miners' families past whose houses they were traveling the first day out gave them food and sometimes a little clothing. Hut these farther mountaineers, who knew nothing of the miners, turned them away from their doors, gave them nothing to eat, forbade them to sleep anywhere near their cabins, nnd saw them to a safe distance at the front of shotgun. The least hardy were soon looking for officers of the law, who were hard to find in the mountains. So, whether hardy or not, all pushed on—going round and ronnd, making no progress, having no place to go, and being deathly sick from hunger anil cold. As they lay about the jail-yard their sufferings were written on their faces. Convicts are seldom healthylooking men. These, even the colored men, had. a shrunken appearance of the cheeks and about the eyes. Their clothing was tattered, their bare feet projecting from their shoes and in one or two eases there were no soles to their shoes except the heel.

Outside of Knoxville and the counties where the miners lives, there seems to be a profound indignation against the weakness of the state authorities, and it may be that this will force the governor into putting back the convicts at the old places in rebuilt stockades. Should this be done it may mean the same troubles over again, only in far greater violence.

SPOILED A TOWN'S LOOKS.

A Jllock of liusinesft Houses Destroyed in a Massachusetts Village. ORANOB, Mass., Nov. 0.—A gasoline tank exploded in the barn in the rear of Washburn's block Saturday afternoon which started a fire that destroyed nearly $200,000 worth of property before it was got under control.

SKVUKAI. OT1IKIIS INMI UKI). Wn.Kr.siiAititK. Pa., Nov. 9.—Another horrible aeeident has been added to the long list of mine disasters in the anthracite reg'-on. I'.unday evening a number of men went down No. 1 shaft of the Susquehanna Coal Company at Nanticoke for the purpose of inspecting some of the workings. As the men were going along the safety lamp of the leader suddenly blazed up, and before they could retreat it exploded. Instantly the mine was a mass of flames and the poor victims were enveloped in it. So great wa« the force of the explosion that they were dashed against the walls of the breasts and not only burned, but some of them were mangled almost beyond recognition. Seven men were instantly killed and three died soon after being taken out of the mine. Six others were injured, some of whom will die.

The forco of the explosion was so great that it was felt above ground and the inhabitant of the town only knew too well what had happened. In an instant the place was a scene of confusion. Hundreds of people, including the children, brothers and sisters of tho men in the mine, rushed to the shaft The smell of the fatal after damp that found its way to the surface only added to the fever of suspense, and all these anxious ones could do was to wnit The officials of the mine soon had a band of brave volunteers together, the engines were set in motion, and they were sent into the subterranean caverns. They groped their way through the darkness and soon came upon their fellow-workmen. One by one the unfortunate men were tenderly lifted nnd carried to the foot of the shaft and were hoisted to the surface. Ambulances were soon on hand and some of the men were taken to their homes. Others were taken there on stretchers. The force of the explosion had hurled the men against the walls of the mine as if they were feathers. Large mine cars that were standing on the track were picked up nnd smashed into splinters, and fragments of flesh were found among the wrecked cars. One of the rescuing party told a thrilling story of the search for the victims.

They almost lost their way in the darkness, and they felt the gas and after damp coming upon them. Some of the number were growing faint and could go no furthci when they providentially found the air current and were saved from a fate as horrible as those mot for whom they were searching. The explosion was caused by the men attempting tc change the air current

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.

Two llnlldliiK* In nil Ohio Town Collnpsc, Imt All tlin Occupants C«t Out. AKHON. O., NOV. 9.—By the collapse of two three-story blocks in South Howard street at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon thirty people were buried under brick and stone and 850,000 worth of prope.rty destroyed. The two bnildings which fell were occupied respectively by 11. C. Ilerrick & Son, china dealers, and S. H. Laffcrty, baker and candy manufacturer. Without any warning the roof and front walls fell. So far as known no one was killed. All the employes have been accounted for. but there were twelve or fifteen, people from the country in LafTerty's store at the time, and it is feared that when the debris has been cleared away some one may lie found buried underneath. Mrs. David Frank and her daughter Zedella were just leaving the china store, and tlicir escape was little short of a miracle. Kricks and heavy stones fell all around them. A horse hitched six feet away was instantly killed, but they escaped with slight bruises. Some of those in the candy factory were less fortunate. Frank Zimmerman was carried in the collapse from the third to the first story and his right leg was fearfully mangled. A heavy stone crushed the left leg of Miss F. Miner, making amputation necessary, and it is feared she will die from the shock. Fortunately the rear walls did not fall and to that the others who were in the building owe their escape, although all were more or less bruised The loss on the buildings is 828,000 and on stocks $22,000.

ANOTHER BANK SUSPENDS.

President Montt Kxpresses Confidence in Kgnn—Alleged Threats Against Gen. Canto Not Credited by the Chilian Government.

VALPARAISO, NOV. 9.—In the notice issued Friday night by Intcndente Carlos Lira to the crowd of liot-licaded young Cliilinns at Santiago, who were unduly exciting themselves about the alleged plot to assassinate Gen. Canto, he not, only said that there was no truth in the stories pttblished in some of the local papers, but added that no arrests had been made in connection with the affair.

Tho meeting of tho young men on the plaza at Santiago appointed a committee to go to the Moncda, wait upon Frcsident-elect Jorge Montt and ask him, in view of the reported attempt to kill Canto, if the fact that public opinion held tho refugees in tho United States legation culpable, and ns also of the common belief that dictatorial sympathies had not been stamped out in certain parts of the country to see that justice was meted out to the Balmacedists who were protected by the American minister. •Admiral on tt's reply wasadmirable. He said that ho fully appreciated tho generous nnd patriotic sentiment of the young men of Santiago and of the people at large, but at the same time he was impelled to state that the junta had had no further information relating to flic plot than that published in certain papers. In its conduct of affairs, he continued, the junta had to be governed^ by the laws of the country. It was its duty to see that these laws were faithfully and legally administered. In regard to tho charge that the United States legation sheltered refugees, who ure still engaged in plot- .. ting mischief, ho know positively that

Minister Egan had interdicted tho sendIng out of letters by refugees unless the letters wore subjected to inspection. If any such message had loft the legation Admiral Montt added, ha was sure thot it was without tho knowledge of Minister Egan, and thai if the matter had been brought before Mr. Egan he would have caused the prompt exclusion of the offender from the asylum. Montt's remarks were the strongest source of evidence that he desires to protect the legation.
