WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, April 8.
I he new cauiui'1 nominations
wliich have been no long sntuiated,
have at (last been made. That of
Senator Teller for the Interior De
partment will be confirmed without
opposition by the Senate. Mr.
Chandler for the Navy Department,
it is aUo thought, will be confirmed,
but not witout opposition. Mr.
Chandler was born at Concord, New
Hampshire, in 1335. He graduated
at the Harvard Law School and be
gan the practice of law iu 1856. He
has been a member of the Legislature
several limes, and was, for two years,
Speaker of the House. In March,
1865, lie was appointed by President
Lincoln the first solicitor and judge
advocate general of the Navy De
partment. In June following Jbe was
made first assistant Secretary of the
treasury, and held the office fov near
ly two years. He was Secretary of
the National Republican Committee
during the Grant campaign of 1808,
iu 1876 he was counsel for the Hayes
electors in Florida; and, it may be
said that, if it had not been lor his
presence iu Florida during the count,
Hayes would not have been Presi
dent. He was the head of the Blaine
delegation from .New Hampshire at
the last Chicago convention.
Senator Henry M. Tellei, 'who has
been nominated to succeed Secretary
Kirkwond, is a native ot Alleghany
county, N. Y., and is now fifty-two
years old. He practiced law in his
own State, and arterwards removed
to Il'inois, where he resided four
years prior to his residence it Colora
do, which dates from 1861. Upon
the admission of Colorado as a slate,
he was elected lo the United States
Senate, which is the first public
office he ever held. During the pres
cut (session, he has been chairman of
the committee on pensions, and also
a member of the judiciary, claims,
railroad cinmittees.
The reasons f.r the removal of
Secretary Kirk wood seem to be that
he is old and very siow in the trans
action of business. Secretary Hunt
of the Navy has been sick much of
the time, and unable to attend lo
I he duties of the department. He
has been appointed minister lo Rus
sia, where he will have nothing to do
but to maintain the dguily of his
posifjon, which he can do quite as
well as his predecessors Curtiu, Jew
ell, and Stoughton. Few men can
carry more dignity than Judge Hunt
besides he speaks French fluently,
which is an important consideration
at St Petersburg.
Since I began writing I have
learned that Senator Telle? has been
confirmed; and, if Mr. Chandler
shall be confirmed. President Ar
thur's cabinet by his own appoint
ment will be completed, with the
exception of the present Secretary of
war. Robert Lincoln, who remains
the only cabinet officer appointed
by Garfield. The first appointment
by the present executive was Judj-e
Folgsrr as Secretary of the Treas ry,
and this appointment was followed
by those of Frelynghuyseu, Brew
ster, Howe, Te)lr? ami Chandler.
The House is liil debating the
tariff commission bill. The presiden
tial count bill passed the Senate yes
terday without amendment. The
bill to improve the Potomac river
front, which affects the interest ot
the district in a greater degree than
any measure that ha been before
Congress lor years, will come up on
Monday.
Mr. Farley introduced a bill in the
Senate yesterday to execute certain
treaty stipulations. It is identical
with the vetoed bill except that the
term ot suspension is made sixteen
vears.
made last year iu 20 slates and ter
ritories, California, Colorado and
Washington Territory producing
the metal for the first time. The
North Carolina furnaces also pro
duced pig iron for the first time since
1877. The largest increase in tons
was in Pennsylvania, which pro
duced 107,65fl net tons more than iu
1880. Nearly all of this increase
was in Allegheny county. But the
largest percentage of increase was
in Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Ten
nessee, Illinois, Miclr'gan, Connecti
cut, Minnesota, and Oregon the last
two states, of course, producing but
little pig iron in either year. Ot 701
furnaces in the United States on De
cember 31, 1880, there were 446 iu
blast and 225 out of blast; of 710
furiiac'S on December 31, 1881, there
were 457 in blast and 259 out of
blast. The slocks of pig iron unsold
iu the hands of makers or their agents
on the 31st of December, 1881,
amounted to 210,693 net tons against
456,658 tons at the close of 1879.
In 1881 there were built 25 new
furnaces in the United States. The
building of 23 other furnaces was be
gun but not completed. In the same
year 12 furnaces were abandoned.
During the year the probable eou
sumption was 4,982,565 gross tons,
an increase oi about 1,000,000 gross
tons. About one-third of this in
crease was used iu the production of
Bessemer steel; the remainder was
required lo supply the miscellaneous
iron and steel works of the country.

in the United Slates last year was
4,144,252 gross ton, compared with
3,835,191 tons in 1880, au increase

The Journal of Commerce says?
San Francisco will, within two or
three years at most, have to handle
sixty million bushels of wheat yearly,
where il bad previously to handle
not more than sixteen at the greatest,
and where last year it" had only
about thirty-six million bushels to
dispose of. There will be a jump
from last year's figures of over 20,
000,000 bushels. And it will not
slop here, for with the spread of cul
tivation the product will increase
year by year, how fast, il would
hardly be safe to set a limit to,-considering
what has been done in that
way in ihe past. From Is74 to 1880,"
that is in six years, it doubled; it also
doubled in the proceeding years.'
Suppose il takes the longer period
to double, the wheat crop of the
State would be 112,000,000 bushels
in 1888, or six years hence; let it take
ten years, and it would have reach
ed that figure in 1890. The wheat
crop of the joast, which San Fran
cisco would have lo handle, would
be in the same year probably 130,-
000,000 bushels. Of this not more
than 20,000,000 bushels could bo
consumed on ihe coast, so that there
would be 110,000,000 bushels to get
rid of by export, or about 70,000,000
bushels more man California and
Oregon shipped in I860. This is
equal to from 4 to 3 per cent of the
loial wheat ciop of the world to-day.'
The importing countries of the
world may be named as Great Brit
ain, i' ranee, Holland, lieigium,
Austria, Hungary, Italy and some-
limes Spain. Sometimes France
furnishes enough lor her own con
sumption most usually she does
not. In oidinary years the needs
of all these countries are 235,000,000
bushels that is about double the sup
posed increase.
Provided, therefore, that the
demands of these countries and the
production of the other exporting
countries remained the same, the
Pacific Coast would have lo push the
latter out of ihe market to this extent
somnthing it could not well do.
file case would not, however, be as
supposed; the consuming population
would increase. Il does increase in
Europe, probably at the rate of a
million annually; tl. at would give in
ten years, ten millions taking 40,000,-
000 bushc-Is more of wheat at the
rate per head of consumption. Sup
posing the other countries to increase
production lo the same amount as the
Pacific Coast, then the latter would
be able to sell only 20,000.000 bushels
more, and there would lcmaiii un
sold 90,000,000 of bushels.
An increase of one bushel per
head iu the consumption of tre im
porting and tile principal producing
countries would, however, take 200,
000,000 bushels more, and about keep
pace with the iccreased production.'
