INCREASED EXPORT TRADE IN CATTLE.
A Morn Comprehensive Klrotlon Tmw

Outlook IHS
WASIIIVOTOV , Nov. 9. The secretary of
ngiiculturo has presented his annual report
to the president. By conmartng prices at
Cldcago for October 1(5 ( of 1800 and 1889 ho
shows the marked Increase In the values of
agricultural products , especially of cereals.
A tabulated statement of agricultural ex
ports the last fiscal year , including live ani
mals , barley , hriy , potatoes , hops , cheese ,
flax , wool , tobacco , wines , etc. , under the old
and now tarlH rales nto given nnd indicate a
material Increase In import duties on these
articles , and .show each to have been 1m-
poitcd in considcrablo quantities , iho sec
retary asserts that without Ignoring the of-
fcrts of natural causes In enhancing values
the economic legislation of the last session
of congress has directly bcnellttcd the farm
ers ; Improved the value of cereals.
Our Increased export trade In cattle and
anlimil products Is another cause of con
gratulation ho traces to the ciiergctlo and
effective measures adopted for the oradlcatibn
of plcuto-pneumonla and to the growing ap-
pi cclntlon at homo and abroad of the depart
ment's ability to suppress or oHectunlly con-
tiol contagious animal dsonscHe ( declares
that not a single case of contagious plciuo-
pncutnonla has been alleged to exist among
American cattle shipped to British polls
since March last. Similar energy has been
directed to our pork Interests. The secretary
stronglv recommends that the Inspection law-
bo made moio comprchcnsh o th m the present
ono , of all animals slaughtered for Interstate
or foreign trndo.
The outlook for the homo sugar Industry is
considered favorable. The analysis by the
department chemist of boots gio\\ In various
states from seed distributed last sm-lng in
dicates n high nercentago sf sugar mul affords
uhat Is legordcd as conclusive proof that
laigo sections of the country are adapted
to the successful culture of the
sugar beet. The practical results
obtained In Nebraska and Kansas ,
ho says , domonstinto the feasibility of home
grown su nr munufncturo. In the bureau ol
animal Industry arrangements havobcon per
fected for a dairy division , the establishment
of which was delayed somewhat by the lacl ;
of necessary legislation. Co-operation with
experiment stations has been umlcitakcn on
important lines , Including cxpctlmentsvltli
grasses In arid regions and the trial of new
economic plants for the collection of ngilcul'
turnl statistics of the reports of frroxviiifi
crops nnd of the probable supply of stapli
pioducts in tlio markets of tbo world.
Tlio production of taw sill : nsan iudigenou"
Industry is refcricd to In not very cucour
aping terms , though Its Importance la einphn
sbcd by rcfoienco to the Impotts ot raw silks
which have larcely Increased during the j cai
and nra valued for the year at upwards o
$24.000,000 , but tbo necessity for favorable
legislation as well as for Improvements In ma
chlnery Is insisted on. Encouraging words nr <
spoken with reference to flax culture , Secrc
tary Kunk believing thorcccnt changes In tin
tariff on linens \ \ \ \ \ servo to encourage mnnu
fncturcrs nnd provide a mnikct for liomi
grown ( lax. Irrigation nnd the artesian sup
ply of voter are mndosubjects of special refer
cnce. Kofcrcnco Is mode to the forthcoming
transfer of the weather bureau to the depart
meat of agriculture , with the declaration o
the sccrctarv'sdesi.10 to widen the prcsen
scope of the bureau so as to Increase its benefits
fits to agriculture. Ho also Insists strongl ;
on the necessity fov moro frequent reprcscnto
tlon of the department nt meetings of agri
cultural nnd kindred societies. The possibil
S Ity of serving corn growers throughout tin
country by extending the market for Indlni
corn lu foreign countries has engaged th
secretary's attention , with the result that h <
luis nppolntcd a special agent abroad , havlni
special riualiilcatlons for his dutv. to Invest !
gate nnd report upon the possibility of pro
moling the consumption of Indian corn ii
European countries.
In concluding his report ho says : "A care
ful rev-low of the events of the past year ahi
n general survey of the agricultural Held tc
day betoken a maikcd improvement In th
condition of our agriculturists and promts
\\oll for their future well being. " Ho cud
bv declaring that ho looks forward with cor
fldenco to tbo time when in the high qualit
of its woik , as well ns In the magnitude of it
rntorpilso. the agriculture of the Unite
States shall not only lead all other Industrie
in this country , but shall bo the leader In thl
great Industry of all other countries.
A STIlAXUt ! CASE.

Ni.w YoriK , Nov. 9. There Is strong suj
. port for the theory that the famous Burche
case has found .1 parallel In the alleged su
cido of \venlthy Knglblnnnn nt Yonhers.
Bonwcll , who has money , was lured to th
country nnd robbed and murdered. Jam <
II. Edgar , a wealthy London druggist , wi
lured to this country , nnd has boon found dec
mid penniless in a Yonltors hotel.
Humorous circumstances sufroundlng h
death suggest n question which the po'.lco i
that town can not Ignore. Kvldunccs of su
cido do not deter them in their seal eh for tl
murderer.
Captain Mongln of the Yonkcrs force n ;
plied to the Now Voile police department fi
' assistance on the case , nnd Inspector Byrne
detailed Uvo of his most competent men fi
the task of tracking down the consplratoi
who are responsible for a rcnt crlmo or <
otherwise unraveling a mystery which grov
daily moro tantalizing.
Tno details of the supposed sulcldo n :
already familiar. An expensively dressed el
gentleman , who two weeks ngo gave n r
eelpt for $5,000 In cash , was found dead In
loom at the Getty house , Yonkcrs , with lei
than 11 on his person ,
In.tho room was a bundle of rags sue
us no man in his condition of life vvou

' 'Uoorgo Smith , " asking pardon for the ii
convenience ho was causing , and saying thi
the inhumanity of a few persons had drive
him to death.

Shortly before the marrmgo the husband c
talued uii appointment lu the Indian cl'

nnd they becnmo such linn friends
that two jciw ago , when the hus
band got n long leave of absence and
with his wife cnmo buck to Pennsylvania to
visit her iclntlvcs , Kipling came with them ,
A few days after the party arrived the gos
sips began to say that Kipling was deeply In
love with his filcnd's wife. She did not
seem to bo aware of It , nor did her husband.
Her treatment of the guest was frank , friendly
nnd Indvllke , without n particle of affectation
or filrta'tlon. All the gossips agreed ou ttiii
point , nnd they snld further that It was n pity
the journalist could not have bestowed his af
fections in u quiu-tcr wheio them could have
been hope of retinn. Now word has como
that the husband Is dead , and that the young
wUow will soon return to her Heaver home.

Orrv\VA , Out. , Nov. 0. The finances of

termed n deplorable condition. The legisla

and , with a population of losi than 2,000,000 ,
the ptovinco is shown to possess n debt of
something like $30,000,000. Thopiomlerof the
provlnco is now looking around to see where
ho can float a loan of $5,000,000 to meet press
ing liabilities , but. In view of the fact that It
is currently stated that the dominion govern
ment will have to como to the rescue of
Quebec , Mr. Mcrclrr 1-j not likely to find
many eager speculators will ting to invest In
the dohentutes ho may have to offer , lie-
tween church nnd state the people of Qtictieo
bear a heavier burden of taxation than these
of any other provlnco in the dominion , nnd It
Is not surprising that within tlio past few
years thousands of thorn have emigrated to
the United States.

sympathetic speeches nnd a parndo of 12,000 ,
people marked the celebration today of the
third anniversary of the execution of the an

of the tlmo. The weather was cold nnd
checiless. The procession marched through
several down stiects with banners furled and
draped with crnpo.
When the special train reached 'tho ceme
tery the pioccsslon again formed and
inarched past the graves , each society as it
passed oy , deposited its floral offering until
the graves were piled high with a mass of
red and white flowers in various designs. The
crowd then assembled In front of a small
platform and listened to the speeches.
George Sihernldlnger said that the purpose
of assemblage was to commeraorato the mur
der of their comrades by the machinery or
the capital. L. S. Oliver said that the mem
ory of the noble dead would stir the laboring
man to do and dare , and when that time
comes let somebody bowaro. "Though scaf
folds and gibbets were built nt every cross
road , let us have courage , comrades , to inarch
forward. " H. B. Bartholomew , in his ad

that Is a friend of Ireland to a man , would
