WASHINGTON , D. C. , May 20. |
President Harrison has quickly "sat down
upon" all suggestions' as to Sunday confer
ences nt the whlto house. When ho first
took possession of the ofllco ho now occupies ,
Homo of his friends , with the habits of his
immediate predecessor In view , nskcd to hnvo
ntorvlows on Sunday. The president ad
mitted Bomo of them , but when they
broached politics there was an end to the
conversation. General Harrison has never
discussed politics or business on Sunday , nnd
Is not Inclined to begin it nt this time , es
pecially when ho has to llvo on it six days
nnu nights In the week. Those who hnvo
the hardihood io attempt to speak of official
matters when they meet him on the streets ,
going to or from church , have not mentioned
their rebukes to friends.
\\IIY CIIANOT.S WElti : NOT MAKE.
Several positions connected with the ex
ecutive departments remain In the Bnmo
hands they were In a year or two ago , and
the failure of the president to make changes
is the source of souie complaint on the part
of partisan republicans. These positions uro
more or less of general public importance ,
nnd whllo It may bo true in u few instances ,
the present Incumbents , taking but little in
terest in their offices , permit the public ser
vice to drag. There nro public reasons wny
changes in most instances have not been
made. Moro persons nro interested In
in the commlsslonorstilp of the general land
ofllco than any position held by a democrat.
The opening of Oklahoma und over thirty
million acres of land in Minnesota , Ne
braska , Montana and Dakota hits been
considered Biifllcicnt reason for retaining
Commissioner Siockslugcr till Secretary
Noble was properly inducted into office , now
there will , however , soon bo n change. The
president bus been unable to determine upon
the man ho wanted for commissioner of nav
igation , and that is why a democrat who has
never given satisfaction IK not put out. He
will soon bo relieved now that au appolnt-
can bo made. The public service Is not suf
fering on nccountof the present organization
of the iutcr-stato commerce commission und
HO long ns there uro such demands as there
ore for the president's time ho will direct
his attention to immediate wants. It Is un
derstood that there will bo no more oxtcn-
tions of the commissions , of the bureau of
engraving and printing nnd that Captain
William Mcridith , of Chicago , will talto
charge this xvcok. Twice the commission of
Graves has been extended for ten days. At
torney-General Miller has deemed it wise to
retain most of Ins assistants for the
good of the service , and it Is under
stood that there will bo no more changes
there , at least for some months. General
Rosccrans , register of the treasury , being nu
ex-union soldier on the retired list , will rellro
of his'own free will when his successor Is
selected , but no effort bus been made in that
direction for obvious reasons. General Joe
Johnson , commissioner of railroads , has not
been put out early because ho is inoffensive ,
politically speaking , nnd a southern republi
can cannot bo agreed uoon. Ho may stay
some tlmo yet. In most instances the promi
nent offices loft unchanged represent ofllcers
needed for the present , or the president has
seen no emergency requiring precipitate ac
tion. The complaint in nearly every instance
como from those who want the place.
DAKOTA MATTlillS.
Sonator-olcct Edgcrton , of South Dakota ,
arrived hero this morning. To your corre
spondent ho said of the constitutional con
vention which assembles ut Sioux Fulls on
the Fourth of July :
"Tho most important work to bo done will
bo the apportionment of the territorial debt
between North nnd South Dakota. It will
bo based upon property values. This work
will occupy soveuiil days , but it will bo com
pleted without any friction. The territory Is
in a prosperous condition and the debt is
small. The constitution adopted In 1SS5 was
by overwhelming majority ratified lust week
at the polls , and only North Dakota will
have a new constitution to frame. She has
never attempted to do that thing , und her
convention , which convenes on the sumo
day , will lust two di1 three weeks , proba
bly. "
Senator Edgorton will undoubtedly be
chairman of the South Dakota convention ,
Speaking of the opening of the grout Sioux
Indian reservation in Nebraska and Dakota ,
the senator said :
commissioners appointed for the
purpose will organize In Chicago this week ,
and I have no doubt that their terms will bo
readily accepted by the Indians. It Is the
best the Indians can do , and nobody knows
this better than they do. If they should refuse -
fuse they nro aware what it moans , when
the Dakotas send four senators and throe
representatives to congress this winter and
in favor of n law which will open the reser
vation to settlement without the consent of
the Indians. I um in fuvorof ttiut kind of
action. Wo should bo liberal with the
Indians , but when wo know wo uro doing
the proper thing there Is no lisa in negoti
ating. Our new governor , Mollctto , is n
magnificent officer , und wo huvo' secured the
best possible government under President
Harrison. "
SoimU.r . Edgorton Is here to nrpuo a case
1 In luw before the Interior department. Ho
has boon ou the stump In South Dakota for
six weeks , mid says his political work Is , for
the present ut toast , ut an end.

certain snt of negroes. On Friday n colored
murderer named Nelson Colbert was hanged
nnd yesterday his funeral occurred. The
occasion wus mudo ono foru most extraordi
nary demonstration. Over three thousand
colored pcopio gathered , nnd nftor the Inter
ment held u meeting , which was character
ized by the wildest disorder. The murderer
was buried with u whlto Illy in his hand. It
created an excitement which has not yet
subsided.
HETIIIEMENTS IX TUB AltMV.
President Harrison nnd Secretary Proctor
have taken up the subject of retirements In
tbo army , und nro endeavoring to formulate
a definite rule by which retirements will bo
made on the , limited disability retired list.
This list Is limited to100 , and there nro
aiwuys u largo number of officers eligible for
retirement. Secrotury Proctor fuvors the
promotion of ofllcers who huvo been longest

Adjutant-General Drum draws near there le
a grout deal of interest felt in the army ns to
whom wfll bo hia successor. At first nearly
nil the colonels In the adjutant-general's
corps were spoken of ns candidates , but the
contest is now supposed to bo narrowed

Mny Report or the Statistician of the
Agricultural Department.
WASHINGTON , Mny 20. Tno May report of
the statistician of the agricultural depart
ment contains the result of the Investigations
of the deficiencies of the surplus of each
European nation , especially In the production
of the agricultural products that America
sends to foreign markets. The question of
the possibly enlargement of exportation in
quantity nhd variety Is canvassed nnd the
opportunities for displacing any importation
by enlarged production lire pointed out. The
investigation was made pursuant to a reso
lution passed at u meeting of the National
Grange hold in Topoku , Kun. , last tall.
Some of the llgurca given in the statement
prepared are Btailllng. As to wheat , it says
Europe Is practically the only market Amer
ica can have for Ihls cereal nnd she Imports
only H4,000W)0 bushels nycar , raising 1,200-
000,000 bushels herself moro than hnlfof the
world's crop nnd twice that of all America.
Of the European tiollclcncy the United Status
supplies 1)5,000,000 ) bushels.
in oals and barley there is n very small In-
tcrnutionnl Irnde , Europe Importing only
19,000,000 bushels of outs and the United
Stntcs exporting 2,500,000 bushels.
Ofbarloy this country Imports 7GOO,000
bushels.
Uyo Is the great broad gram of eastern nnd
central Europe , and KUKSIU ntoiio produces
more than does the United States. Europe
Imports not less than 1,500,000 bushels ,
and the United Stutes exports less than
,00a,0l0 bUshols.
European countries requiring maize , do
not take half the product of Illinois or of
Iowa or Missouri. Great Britain takes
nearly ttirco-fourths of the total , or O'J-
000,000 and this country exports 08,000,000
bushels. The deficiency of Frunco could bo
supplied By McLean county , Illinois , uud
Germany requires still less. Russia nnd
Koumania hiivo a surplus nnd southern Eu
ro DO crows enough for homo consumption.
Europe imports over 1UOO,000OJO pounds of
rico , but none of It comes from the United
States.
Of potatoes Europe grows moro than she
needs , wiillo the United States supplies u
deficiency from Canada nnd Germany. Only
Great Britain , Belgium und Portugal , of nil
thu European nations , do not produce enough
butter und to spare to make up the de
ficiency 25,000.0 0 pounds , the United
Stutes exports 2 ,000,000 pounds , It requires
140,000,000 pounds of cheese to supply the
European deficiency , of which 118,000,000
uro furnished by the United Stutes.
Of course , Europe bus to Import nil her
cotton , tbo annual uverngo imports being
2o : ! ,000,000 pounds. The United States
sends lb50,000OHO pounds.
Europe gets from South America , Asia ,
Africa and Australia two or three times as
much wool as she imports from the United
Stales. The net deficiency of Europe is
780,000,000 pounds , slightly moro than what
la produced there.
The United States produces four-fifths of
the wool manufactured here. The aim of
the wool growers of this country is to supply
the homo manufacturer , if possible ; never to
export raw wool. If there over shall bo a
surplus , it will bring moro money to the wool
grower if sent abroad In manufactured form.
The United States Imports a net 09,000,000
pounds of wool every year.
Euiopoproduces ubout ns much tobacco us . '
the United States 500,000,000 pounds nn-
nunlly and could easily produce all she needs
but American tobacco is desired for two
reasons , it is cheap and very desirable for for
tifying the European product. So the United
Stales furnishes 2ri2,000,000 pounds of the
annual deficiency , 324,000,000 pounds.
In conclusion the statistician says : "About
one-tenth of our agricultural products nro
exported. No other nation exports so largo
a proportion , yet the articles shipped ubroad
uro few. They uro cotton , tobacco , meats
brcadstuffs , butter and cheese. All other
articles together are ubout 3 per cent of the
exports. An enlargement of the surplus
must Inevitably reduce prices , both at homo
and abroad. "
In response to the inquiry : "What agri
cultural products are now Imported that our
country and climate are capable of produo
mgl" sugar is first suggested.
"Flax uud hemp should bo moro exten
sively grown displacing foreign fibres cost
ing millions of money uud furnishing umlcral
for the bagging of cotton , wool and hops ,
and other fibres of sub-tropical
regions should bo produced along tlio gulf
const. Imported fibres , with their manufac
ture , altogether amount to the value of more
than two-thirds as much as the munificent
nnd boasted cotton exportation of the United
States. Thcro is an exportation of fruits of
the value of $ > \000.000 , half of which at least
should bo produced In tills country. "
It Affects 100,000 Cn'cs.
WASHINGTON , Muy 20 , An opinion of the
United States supreme court in the case of
the United States vs Jo tin D. Hall , wns ,
to-day , subject to earnest discussion among
the officials of the general land office. Ono
of the points at issue was that Hall had made
oath before a notary public. The supreme
court decided ttiat where an oath is required
by United States statute , that oath can bo
administered only by an officer of the United
States. Hence , n notary public being n state
officer , can not administer oaths to United
States ofllcluls , cxcopt the statutes specifically
utatu the oath may bo made before such state
official. Tills opinion , It is believed , seri
ously affects the status of moro than a hun
dred thousand cases in the mineral division
alone of the general land office. Deputy
mineral surveyors have for several years , it
is said , sworn to the correctness of their
statements before notaries public. During
the fast four years a lurgo number of cases
under the general lund la\\s have been re
ceived for patent at tbo general lund otllce ,
where final proof was not inado before the
officer designated by law for the purpose.
Where no other error wus found they hnvo
been allowed to go to patent. This policy
wus first adopted by Secrotury Vllas. The
opinion of the supreme court has created
alarm und n request for Interpretation of
section 2 , 135 revised statutes , 1ms been sent
to Assistant Attorney-General Shields , with
particular reference to the supreme court de
cision und Its effect upon pending eases In the
general land office.

Admiral Klmborly received n lotlor from
Matuafn n ( u\v days nftor ho hnd Issued Ills
proclamation advising tlio natives to glvo up
the war , In which Mntnnfn expressed his
pleasure at the proclamntion and ill the
kindness of the United States government ,
and said all dcstro for further war with his
countrymen Is ended. lie declares the war
to ho at an end , bccauso he earnestly desires -
sires that Samoa should ilnd n Btnto of pros
perity , and also desires to have Admiral
Klmbcrly act as arbitrator between tlio
two factions. Ho expresses the opinion
that Samoa would cscapo a danger
If the United States alone wcro to protect
and glvo support to It without the interfer
ence of any other power. Ho is sura that a
recurrence of the tlirco nation system would
bo useless , as In the past It has resulted in
the country being constantly in foment.
Admiral Kimberly replied , expressing his
pleasure that Mutnafu was willing to declare
the war at an end. Ho snld Tnmascso still
had nothing to sav of peace except on condi
tions of submission. Ha assured Mntnafn
that the efforts of the United States Govern
ment in the Berlin conference will bo directed
to obtain * those points that will tidvanco and
promote the Interests of Samoii in every re
spect , mid adjures him to bo of good heart.
Admiral ICImbcrfy declined to make the
correspondence between hlmsolt and Taina-
scso public , staling it must first go before
the department nt Washington.
The Gorman consul , Knappo , docs not
think Admiral Kimberly's proclamation will
amount to anything.
Hurr Stubel , the now Gorman representa
tive , arrived on April 2S.
Tlio Associated press correspondent had an
interview a few days ago with Mataafa , In
which the latter said his pcopio felt very
grateful for the interest the Americans hud
taken in their cause. Ho had no dcslro to
fight Tnmascso or the Germans , and would
like to see the United States declare n pro
tectorate over Samoa. He thought that was
the best way to avoid trouble , as the
natives wore continually lighting among
themselves when the consuls of tlio three
powers hnd eniinl authority. Allldavits
have neon prepared under the direction of
Matuafa which have been forwarded to the
Btuto department at Washington In reference
to the December battle , and in which several
native witnesses declare the Germans com
menced the lighting , killed ono of the natives ,
and wounded another before the Sauioaus
ilrcd a.shot.
An attack was made a week ago by some
of Tamaseso's men upon two of Matnafa's
party who were passing oy the camp. Both
men were slightly wounded. A number of
Mntaafa's .varriors were greatly excited and
wished to attack Tamaseso , but were per
suaded to allow the incident to pass un
noticed.
The British man-of-war Rapid , whipty Jpft

iness of the Presbyterian ? general assembly
opened this morning nt 0 o'clock. Dr. Me-

there were 277 missionaries nt work under
the board , of whom 203 were colored , and 102
of the 110 ordained ministers were colored
also. Hov. Dr. Allen , secretary of the fund
for missions among the frcodmcn , spoke of
the necessity for energetic , work among the
colored people. "In 'the south , " ho said ,
' there are 1,8-10,550 colored children of
school age , and of- this number only 800,585
attend school. Illiteracy U on the Increase.
It can bo seen ut the rapid growth of Illiter
ate voters , of whom unscrupulous politicians
take undue advantage. It is the duty of
Americans to care for the negro.
The nctrro has cotno to stay with us , and wo
must give him an education that will fit him
for his duty to God and man , "
A resolution recommending the adoption
of the report and recommendations of the
standing committee of the board of missions
for freedom xvas adopted. Dr. W. O. Kus-
tor , of Dubuque , In. , presented the report of
the committee appointed to Inquire Into
evangelical work among emigrants , particu
larly Germans and Scandinavians. The
emigrant question , the report said , had now
got Into politics , and the racial sympathies
and prejudices that existed were likely to
breed trouble. It would bo much bettor not
to recognize emigrants as u class at nil , but
let them mcrgo into the general population
and imbibe the American spirit. But many
o. M > m won't do to this , the report says.
nut. . . . the church must seek them out and
take them within the pale of American Chris
tianity. Fifty thousand Germans In the
city of Now York have broken every church
tio. Infidelity among foreigners is on the
increase. Over four millions of emigrants
in the last four years were protcstants and
almost three millions were not.
The report then gave a synopsis of the
work done by the various protestant denom
inations and emigrant societies , in evangeli
zation among foreigners. The Germans par
ticularly needed looking after by the Pres
byterian church. A foreign tongue must bo
used in evangelizing emigrants ,
The committee recommended that n third
secretary bo appointed on the board of for
eign mlssions.wno will devote his time to the
emigrant question ,
Dr. A. C. Smith , of Frcenort , 111 , , spoico
on the report. Ho said tlio Irish emigrants
did not come under the scope of the commit
tee bccauso they were Roman Catholics.
Their energies must bo devoted principally
toward evangelizing Germans , bccauso
they would leave a deeper impress on the
future American rnco than any other nation
ality. If they refused to preach to Germans
in the German tongue , they would lose the
opportunity of preaching either to them or
to their children. The Germans were thrifty
and Intelligent , and lnllupnced Vmcrican po
litical , social and religious life , and the Pres
byterian church could not afford to Ignore
thorn. The conference then took a recess ,
and further consideration of the report on
emigrant evangelization was postponed until
to-morrow.
In the afternoon scssfon Rov. Dr. Cattell
presented n report as chairman of the minis
terial help committee. The report recom
mended that every minister who had reached
the ago of seventy , and who has preached for
thirty years in the Presbyterian church ,
shall receive & 300 a year without his case
being considered annually by the committee.
