Special to Tun Dec. | The chamber and
fienato will resume tholr labors next week.
The first matter of importancs which will
demand the attention of thu members of the
former body Is the selection of a president.
Thlft Is now the principal topio of discussion
in political circles , nnd it Is prohablo that the
question will shortly bo discussed nnd de
cided In a caucus of mcmbars of the loft , with
whom there nro two candidates , who appear
to have cnunl chances of success Fioqunt and
Caslmer Pericr. The selection of either of
them will have no little significance , us nti
indication of the tendency of the republican
majority In the chamber , for Porier Is Idon-
tilled with the most moderate jjroup of re
publican ? , while Floiiuot is the favorite of
the radical wing of the party.
The chances of the latter are perhaps tbo
best , for the reason that there are symptoms
of a deal between the opportunists ana radi
cals by which the former will veto . for the
candidate of Iho latter on the cxnrass con
dition that they will act with the present
cabinet. Ills election will mean an alliance
between the opportunists and radicals and a
continuation of the line of policy followed by
thu present cabinet.
This is nil the harder to understand when
wo remember that the true meaning of the
recent elections Is that the country desires
to return to a mora moderate ! policy. If the
opportunists open thn session with such a
concession to the radicals , it Is probable that
they will follow it with others , and the ro-
suit will bo that they will remain in power ,
not to carry out their own ideas , but to bo
governed In the Interests of. the radi
cals. They nro allowing themselves to
bo deceived by nn Illuslonary and
paradoxical hope. They fancy that with the
support of Floauot , Clemenceau nnd the fol
lowers of these two gentlemen they will bo
able to carry out a moderate policy , ono of
pacification and tolerance , but as soon as
they make an attempt upon this line they
will Und tholr Intentions thwarted by the
radicals , who never lollow any other guide
than their passion , notably in the matter of
religious questions. The radicals will bo sura
not to yield ono iota of their pretensions.
The war cry of Gombctta , ' clericalism ,
viola Ic onemio , " is still the
last word of their policy , and the opportun
ists will soon find that in this they will
cither have to follow the lead of the radicals
or will have to get along , not only without
their support , but with tholr open hostility.
If In the next chamber there Is not a
speedily formed majority composed of the
moro moderate elements of the various par-
tics , and strong enough to shc.po legislation
independently of the 'support of the
extrcmoists , no government will bo
able to exist except on tel
erance. Any cabinet that take * oQlce
will have to resign Itself to getting along
without a programme of Its own , and the
tenure of power will depend on the skill in
keeping an Englishman between moderate
opinions and radical impatience.
Such a state of things Is nothing moro and
nothing less than , a continuation , pure and
simple , ot what took place in the last cham
ber , and at the end of four years the re
public will llnd herself brought face to face
with the same dangers from which she has
Just almost miraculously oscapjd , and over
which she may not perhaps again triumph
o easily.
Uoulangism has fallen from the proud po
sition of being 4)10 ) all-absorbing political
topic of the day. The newspapers treat it as
onciont history. Ono of them has , however ,
Judged that it would bo of interest to know
what Henri Rochofort , despite his faults ,
was onu of the most sympathetic members
of the Boulanglst party , thinks of this
episode In hla career. Suld Kocbcfort sadly :
" 1 behovo Boulangls.m Is very sick.riho
fault is with these who conducted the enter
prise. If wo had been better organized and
bad committed less errors wo should have
been qulto successful. "

ivoro in the rear ot the column.
At a signal from ono of the Indians the

mediately back of him , while the two Indians
Immediately In front of the deputy wheeled
about and secured his qun , with which ,
after killing him , they shot the sheriff , who
was being held by their companions.
During the melee the Mexican prisoner ran
'orward to a utngo wjiich was about forty
yards in front and warned the driver.
The latter drew his pistol , but
was shot twice by the Indians.
After securing tbo keys to the shackles and
removing them the Indians mutilated the
body of Reynolds , crushing In his skull la a
horrible manner. They then disappeared.
Ttio driver , after recovering sufficiently ,
walked back to Riverside and gave the

lil,1 ! FouuTBESTii STIIEBT , V
WASIIISOTON. D. C. , Nov. 3. |
The publication of the annual report of the
major of police of Washington has brought
out comment upon the condition of the negro
n the District of Columbia whien almost
ilnrms some of the cow whlto residents.
The report shows that ten blacks for ono
vhltc person upnear In the police and crltn-
nal courts charged with crime ; that the
lumber of blacks received at station houses ,
out to the worn house or jail and the ponl-
ontlary from the District of Columbia Is in
ho same proportion to the number of whites
cut to these places.
The question la balng discussed by the local
icwspapcra whether the Increase of tlio
> luck population and the consequent Increase
of crime Is bncoming sufllciontly alarming to
vnrrant either congressional or police action ,
t Is believed that the census of 1803 will
show that the District of Columbia has 250,030
ranulatlou and that there Is of this number
00,000 blacks. Senator Ingalls is quoted as
laving s.ild recently that the District of
Columbia is a public reservation for civil ,
military and political purposes , sot apart by
the pcoplo for ttio central seat of govrrmcnt ,
and that congress and the president coultl
order off , and remove by force , If necessary ,
at a day's notice , every resident.
The fact that there are bettor school privi
leges and church accommodations for the
icgrocs In Wuslunzton than in any other sec
tion of the country is pointed out In the face
of the statement that the colored individuals
ire continually retrograding , und that
vhoroas ten years ago but ton or twelve
colored persons were aur.ually charcod with
murder In the first degree the
number now averages ever tbirty
and that the number charged
vlth manslaughter and criminal assault is
hroo or four times larger in proportion than
luring the past decade. After the colored
toy or man is educated in Washington , It is
said , ho refuses to learn a trailo or go to
work upon farms or in gardens , but Is contented - '
tented to stand about the streets blacking
shoes , holding horses , carrying boxes , soli
ng newspapers , driving carts and doing
other odd jobs. After this condition of af
fairs is pointed out and tbo question raised
whether concresi , in view of the situation ,
would not be warranted la taking some kind
of action in tuo matter , no remedy is sug
gested.
The trend of the agitation is simply to
raise the race question. The old inhabitants
are from the ancient families of Maryland
aud yirgmtM with all of the race prejudices
held by the bourbons ,
TWO MINISTERS TO RESIGX.
Hon. George 15. Loring , minister to Portu-
; al , will resign , to take effect about next
March. Ho does not like Portugal , aud
wants to llvo In Washington. Ho was Presi
dent Arthur's commissioner of agriculture ,
and was at onu time a member of congress
: rom Massachusetts.
Ex-Senator Palmer , of Michigan , will re
sign the ministry to Spain and return ho-o
loxt autumn. He said ho promised his wifu
not to remain in Madrid over sixteen or
eighteen months.
CASTS NO SHADOW DEFOBE.
Congress will assemble four weeks from
; o-morrow.
At this tlmo the closest observer fails to
liscovcr the least hint of the nicotine. A
week hence , however , the situation will bo
materially changed. The candidates for
speaker and other olllcos m the house will
nave begun to arrive and open quarters , and
life m congressional circles will begin to
jrow interesting. At present there are not
VO dozen members of both houses of con
ress in tbo city. They are nearly all in
their states attending to private business or
stumping in the impending campaigns which
close to-morrow.
Preparations for the meeting of congress
are not complete at thu capltol. The paintIng -
Ing Is about finished , but the carpets are not
all down , and the committee rooms ,
or many of them , are topsy
turvy. A very few of the employes
are on duty. A dozen of the fifty or sixty
policqmcn lounge drearily around the broad
corridors , tell stories , .smoke , poke fun at
verdant visitors and talk of the "tiffs"
which are anticipated m the organization
and the battles everybody expects over pro
posed legislation In ttio house , where tbo re
publican majority Is small and the minority
contrary and strong.
None of the speakorshlp candidates are
hero to-day , uut they are all expected within
ten days. Messrs. McKiuloy , Reed and
Unrrowa are hustline the first and last
named on the stump In" Ohio and Virginia ,
resnectlvcly with the gentleman from
Maine a-ound the states of New York and
Now England trying to maltotho delegations
as nearly solid for him as possible.
Two weeks from to-day the city will be
full ot people who have como to engage in
the work of congress , and there will bo such
a scene of buttonholing for votes on the part
of the candidates as never was witnessed
before. It is estimated that the number of
department employes who are nut of ttio city
to vote at the elections on Tuesday Is less
than eight hundred , about one-half as many
as went to their homos to vote In 18iO. The
extension und enforcement of civil service
reform Is believed to bo thu cause of the de
crease of Interest.
DAKOTA DI'.STITUTION HXAQaEIIATED.
Senator Moody , who will represent South
Dakota with Senator Pottlgrow in the unpor
branch of congress this winter , and who Is
feeling very fine to night ever the admission
of his country into statehood , says that the
reports of destitution among the settlers In
any part of Dakota are exaggerated , and In
many instances circulated for tlio purpose of
doing harm. Ho Buys that In the extreme
northern part of North Dakota ttie drouth
made crops short , aud that there is suffering
among n comparatively few families , but
that it does not extend to South Dakota.
Speaking of his own state the senator said
to-day :
"When wo open the great Sioux reserva
tion to settlers , and immigration begins to
pour in early next spring , tlio lower part of
South Dakota will develop beyond all
conception. I expect to see 100,030
people COIIIQ in before tbo end
of tbo year In the lower purl of South Da-
itota , especially.ntonRtnoMlssouri river. Wo
ruUo as good corn as lowii. Our farmers
made the mistake of confining their crops to
wheat for many years and , they suffered by
having to sell at low figures , owing to the
ver.v largo crops of wheat raised. A few
years ago they began to raise corn and
learned that they could bo very successful ,
and that thry could inako big money by put
ting thulr corn Into houb. They are now
looidng In that direction , and of course uro
making money.
"An Immerino pork pack ing establish
ment , M Imx'O as any west of the Mis-
sUsippi , will bo In operation In
Soutn Dakota in tlmo to catch the
crop of hogs next full. Then our people will
have a homo market for bqtli corn ana hos
and their prosperity will receive a now im
petus ,
"Take a cigar ; a clga * made from to
bacco grown in South Dakota. It may not
bo like ono that comes from Havana or Key
West , but it Is a gooil cigar all the same. "
The South Dakota delegation novy tn
Washington are all proud of the rapid de
velopment of their country , and are enthusi
astic over the outlook when they will begin
tp receive the benefits of the legislation
which is incident to statehood.

WASIIINOTO.V , Nov. 3. The annual report
of Iho secretary of agriculture deals at
length with certain plans for the thorough
reorganization of thu department and sug
gests several new features in Iho interest of
the development of agriculture. The re
port calls attention to the fact that the llrst
efforts toward reorganization wore hampered
because of the fact that the appropriations
for the current ilseal year wore miido en-
tlroly upon the basis of tuo old organization ,
no account being taken of the entire change
m the status of the government.
The secretary anticipates a portion of his
plan of reorganization in the estimates for
the forthcoming fiscal year at $1,350,000. Ho
says the aggregate sum asked for in his esti
mates must not bo measured by what
is past , but by what n great agricultural
country should do towards "sustaining , pro
tecting nnd promoting the calling which Has
at the foundation of its prosperity and
power. " A striking contrast is drawn be
tween this amount and tlio appropriations
for agriculture tnado In those countries
which the report says "aro the most active
competitors of American farmers In thu
world's market. "
A comparison shows that great Britain
appropriates for agriculture ? 1SOOOJO.
Germany $3,850,030 , Brazil $20,003,000. For
ngrlculturo ar.d mines.Franco $3.000,000 and
Austria more than fj,000,000.
The problem of getting the results of the
worlt done by the department more promptly
before the pcoplo has been solved by the
establishment of a now division , which fur
nishes promptly to the agricultural and com
mercial press a synopsis or the main points
of every bulletin and report published.
The division of statistics is dwelt upon at
length. Of the crop reporting system ho
says :
"While only an approximate , it is In dan
ger of becoming discredited by tbo popular
acceptance of Its results as exact In precision
an d absolute In authority. It should bo re-
intj inhered they are not the conclusions of a
thorough census. They are a consolidation of
the local estimates of agricultural exports
and uro intended as a foil to interested ,
biased and untruthful statements that specu
lators ISRUO to mislead their victims. "
Of the rupld development of agriculture in
tha Kooky mountain districts ho says :
"It will surprise the eastern states with
now views of the wealth and progress of the
great American desert of tbo recent past. "
Special suggestions In regard to this db -
slon are the extension of local statistical
work aud the enlargement of the corps of
state statlcstllans by tno appointment of ono
In every state. A comprehensive plan for the
agricultural surveys of the states and terri
tories is also suggested to bo'pushed as fast
us available moans will permit.
The Intention is expressed to adont a
method by which the relations existing between
tween the deiartmcnt' | and its numerous
county correspondents can bo utilized to secure -
cure a representation ot the department at
state aud county fairs.
The condition of the sugar industry is re
viewed In detail and the results declared are
of a mixed character , in some cases yielding
well and in other cases proving disappoint
ing. Special attention is to bo given to the
development of the varieties of sorghum
containing a Higher proportion of available
sugar. Important progress has already been
made in this direction. Many localities in
the United States , especially In the north
ana on the P.icillo coast , are known to
bo especially suitable to the production of
sugar bcot riqh in saccharine matter. The
Interest in this subject developed by the suc
cessful experiments in California will be mot
by the publication during the coming winter
of a full report on the bcot sugar industry In
the United States.
The botanical department Is to b < ) es
pecially occupied lu an effort to solve the
problem of increasing the forage yield on
! 300Oi)0OUO ) acres of the arid region outside of
possible irrigation by promoting the pro
ductiveness of the grasses now growing
there.
In regard to textile fibers , the question
now occupying tbo attention of the depart
ment is the utilization of Has , jute , ramie
and other fibres. The report urt'cs it as the
duty of the government to assume more defin
ite supervision oi such forest areas as nro
still owned by It and as occupy a position of
importance in tno regulation of the water
How und other cltmatio conditions , and em
phasizes the Importance of the relations
which forests beur to the problem , of irriga
tion of arid lands und of tholr immense an
nual product.
A special Investigation was ordered a few
months ago , through the pomological divis-
sion , to secure Information regarding fruits
growing naturalv ! in unsettled portions of
the country , and to collect specimens of
them ns nn ald'to doturmiuiiif ; the most suit
able varieties of our cultivated kinds for
propagation in that vast region.
'J ho subject of agricultural organizations
Is dwelt upon earnestly , their astonishing
growth during thu past few years being
cited as strong evidence of the growth of the
spirit of self help among farmers. Farmers'
Institutes are referred to as one of tlio
greatest movement In the history of agri
culture nnd as the strongest lover for
raising and upholding the work of superior
agricultural education represented by our
system of agricultural colleges and experi
ment stations , Thu secretary recommends ,
without going Into details , that tbo depart
ment should bo empowered to afford aid and
encouragement to this work.
In regard to the bureau of animal Industry ,
plouro pneumonia Is tbo tlrst noticed , the
situation being regarded us most encourag
ing. The disease is now effectually under
control and restricted to Kings and Queens
counties In Now York state , toNow.lorsoy
nnd a limited section In each of the status of
Pennsylvania and Maryland. A careful re
view of the field , together with the arrange
ments made for the supervision of the limited
districts still Infected , justify , in thu socrn-
tury's otilnlon , the "most sangumo ho pus"
in regard to the complete eradication of the
disease.
Texas fever is generally spread through
the channels of Intor-stato commerce , ami
therefore c.m only be effectually controlled
by thu federal government , hence thu neces
sity of legislation which shall bo umplo and
clearly defined ,
Ttio lunguugo used by Secretary Husk In
regard to the national mea * Inspection law
is pointed and vigorous. The necessity for
inspection at the tlmo of slaughter lie says
Is first , to enable the authorities to promptly
locate any cattle disease- centers , and sec
ondly , to avoid the anamoly of leaving the
Inspection of our owu meat products to the
olllcmU of other countries , thus giving
foreign governments some reason fur the
claim that they have butter opportunities
for learning of disease among American nat-
tlo than nro enjoyed by our owu government ,
Authority aud means arc also desired to en
able the department to exercise close super
vision ot the economic sldooftho cattle mar
kets , the characteristics of stock command
ing the highest prices , the variations an to
age , weight and quality , and all facta bearing
upon tha cattlu indubtry which will ennblci
tuo bureau to supply to farmers such information
mation ns it Is Impossible for them to obtain
for themselves.
Sheep and wool ro celvo arena ! considera

referred to as ono to bo gaeatly encouraged.
A to wool groivlnp , the reduction of the
tariff In lbS3 U earnestly deplored. To it ia
attributed the treat rcductlou in the number
of aheop , which has sdnco then fallen off by
about 7,000,000 head , whllo the importation
of wool has increased from 7 ,359,057 pounds

reproscntliKf a population of 30,000,000 pee
ple. wnllo the value ol llvo stock alone is
estimated ntS2,50rOJO,000.
Referring to the agricultural depression ,
the report docs not undertake the duty of
legislators In diagnosing the causes and In
nnnlyzing proposal panaceas , but the right
of the farmer to the fullest onjovmont com-
untiblo with tlio rights of his follow citizens
of the benefits of the protective system ,
which la thn rock-rooted principle of the re
publican party , is earnestly Insisted upon.
"For till such articles ns our own soil can
produce the farmer Justly asks that protec
tion which will Insure to htm all the benoilts
of our homo market. "
The secretary closed his report with this
earnest exhortation :
'Tho great nations of Europe strain every
icrvu to make pclcneo the handmaid of war ,
Int It bo the glory of the American pcoplo to
make sclcnco the handmaid of agriculture. . "

Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY , Nov. 3. A scene of frontier
excitement occurred in the streets of this
city to-day. It lasted for llvo hours , and dur
ing that time a herd of stampeded Texas
steers had possession of the thoroughfares In
an area about two miles square. A number
of persons were tossed on the Horns
of the infuriated beasts , nnd before
the herd waa corralled again eight
of their number had been killed.
At 8 o'clock this mo/ning eight cowboys
started with a drove of cattle fi-oin the stock
yards , bound for Clay county , across the
Missouri river. The steers rotused to cross
the bridce , and upon being urged , stam
peded , Then the excitement began. The
herd had proceeded down Blult street for
two squares at A clattering pjco , clearing all
before it , when four of the cowboys , with
frontier foresight , cut around the block and
headed it off. Before the cattle were
driven bade nnd corralled at the river's
bank , eight of them had broker away from
thu herd and started on a tour of the city.
At Broadway und Bluff streets ono of the
cowbuys succeeded in lussooing ono of the
animals , but could not control it. The steer
started for the river. At a bluff about
twenty-llvo foot ever tno river the cowboy
refused to go any further , but the pony nnd
steer plunged ever Into the water below.
Both swam ashore uninjured.
In thu meantime the mounted police were
called out. Two of them elniBod one animal
an far as Nineteenth and Harrison streets ,
This WOB , in the fashionable residence portion
of tlio city , and , occurring Just when church
goers thronged the atrccts , created great ex
citement. Quo pedestrian who was not
quick enough in seeking a place of safety ,
was tossed by a steer , but was not seriously
hurt. Finally n bullet from Sergeant Mu-
Vcagh'g revolver laid the fiery unluial low
nnd ended tlio chase.
At Twelfth und Grand nvcnuo n cowboy
killed another of the steers with his Win
chester. At Fifth and Bluff streets ono of
tlio unruly beasts butted n tramp Into uncon
sciousness who had sought the warmth of a
brick yard there for a morning nap , but did
not injure him seriously. The steer fell
among the dubrls of the yard and a pursuing
cowboy put n bullet m his hejrt. At Six
teenth and Walnut strcotn a negro barber
thought ho could stop another of the Btum-
pedcd Btoora by shaking his apron nthim. Ho
was tossed in tha nlr for his pains.
At Fourth and Walnut another steer started
up the cable track with his head down. It
did not sea an approaching car or did not
propose to be stopped by it if it did see It ,
and butted the grip car full In the front.
The shock killed the animal outright and
staved in tbo car. At the corner of Ninth
nnd Grand uvenuou lady was knocked down
by another of the beasts , but wns not seri
ously hurt. Finally all the stcora were killed
or returned lo their herd.
