AGIUCOLTURAI, REPORT.
Some Timely Suggcstlona From
Secretary Rusk.
'pet i.ll lt TlIK ASTOKIA .1
Washington-, Nov. 0. The secre
tary of ngriculturo has presented his
annual report to the president. He
expresses a distinctly hopofnl view of
agricultural nffain, indica ing obvious
benefit to fniraers if certain legisla
tion which is specified is passcJr
By comparing prices nt Chicago fot
October IGtb, of 1800, nnd of 1889, bo
shows (i marked increase in llio values
of agricultural products, especially of
cereals, decretory Husk naerts that
without ignoring tho effects of nat
ural causes in enhancing values it is
evident tbattbi economic legislation
of tho last session of congress bns
directly benefitted the farmers.
The improved status of cereak, as
be behoves, being largely due lo si I
ver legislation, which moreover has
lessened the iniluenco of Itustia nnd
India over wheat competitors in Brit
ish maikets.
Our increased export iu cattle and
animal products is another oause of
congratulation which ho traces to tho
energetic and effectivo measures
adopted for tbo eradication of pleuro
pneumonia and to growing apprecia
tion at home and abroad of the de
partment's ability to suppress or
effectually control contagious animal
diseases. In line of further precau
tion the department is now prepared
to carry out an inspection of expoit
cattlo beforo shipment, provided for
by the act of August 30th: Similar
energy has been directed to our pork
interests, the department having
already undertaken tho inspection
called for by tho samo law.
The secretary strongly recommcuds
an inspection law still moro compre
hensive of all animals slaughtered for
mter-stato or foreign trade.
The present immunity of "Northern
catue irom Texas lover he believes to
be due to a general complienco with
the regulation of the department is
sued last spring.
The outlook for tho home sugar in
dustry is considered favorable but the
secretary predicts that in tho near
future half of of sugar will bo thus
supplied from the sugar boot
In the provisions of tho tariff bill
Secretary Kusk nds what he remarks
as some "glaring inconsistencies" in
that it gives entire control of mirror
manufacturing and bounty payments
to a Buoorainate omcer of the treas
ury department in spite of tho fact
that heretofore the denartmnntnf nfrri.
cnlture has been charged with tho
kcuuiui bupciruuuu ul us sugar in
dustry both in its cultural and manu
facturing phases.
The production of raw silk as an
indigenous industry is referred to in
not very encourarinc termR. thnnrrh
its-importance is emphasized by refer
ence, to the imports of raw silk, which
navo largely increased during the
year and are valued for the
xear at upwards of $21,000,000,
out the necessity for favorable legis
lation, as well as for improvements
in machinery, is insisted on, Secre
tary Busk, believes that tho recent
changes in the tariff on linens will
servo to encourage manufacturers to
provide a market for home grown
flax.
Beference is made to the forthcom
ing transfer of tho weather bureau to
the department of ngriculturo with a
declaration of tho secretary nnd n. ?.
sire to widen the present scope of the
uureau, so us xo increase lis oeneuts to
agriculture.
Be also insists strongly on tho
necessity for a moro frequent repre
sentation of the department at the
meetings of agricultural and kindred
societies not only to give them en
couragement andvsuppy information,
but for tbo benefit of tho department
workers themselves, who will thus bo
brought into closer contact with farm
ers and will become more -amiliar
with their wants and the beat means
for meeting them.

Special by The United PittUi 1
Chicago, Nov. 9. Cuba is ripo for a

that island's inhabitants, J. A.
Gonzales, who is a guest nt one of the

made.
"Could we have the assurance that
the United States would but indirectly
assist us," ho said, ,Jwe would riso en
masse, to-morrow and throw off the
grasp, which Spain has upon the
islands.
"Why is this? Because of the
misgovernment to which wo are sub
jected. You, in America, talk of tbo
tyranny of the Czar and the terrors of
Siberia, why do you not give your at
tention nearer home to Cuba, where
the situation is" not a whit less better
nor the liberty of people more pre
carious than in Bussia. Could you
go to Cnba yon would see and hear of

they are arrested for, to say nothing
nboutatrinl, and they aro shot too
with just as little ceremony, and yet
you ask why aro wo ready for a revolu
tion. "If tint cause wero not enough our
business is going to rnin, tho planta
tions are not raising half their for
mer crops and it would b j difficult for
you lo find on the entire island a
Cuban in comfortable circumstances.
This is duo lo the grinding taxation
that Spain puts upon us.'

DOUBTFUL DISTRICTS.
Republicans and Democrats
Both Iiivc in Hope.
Special by The Usited PbessI
San Fkancisco, Nov. 9. The fight
in the first congressional district is be
ing watched with increasing interest
and the result still hangs in the bal
ance. Forty-eight hours ago Geary,
Dem., rejoiced in a majority o sixty
five. Yesterday that disappeared be
fore a majority forBarham of G22 and
to-day that is lowered by later returns
to 254. One quarter of the district
has yet to be heard from, including
the entire county of Del Norte, which
in 1883 was equally divided by the
two great political parties. The out
look is still favorable for Barham.
The contest between Blanchard and
Caminetti in the second district is just
as exciting as that in the first. This
morning the republican candidate had
his majority narrowed down from 397
to 82, a very dangerous margin, con
sidering the fact that only tliirty-four
precincts remain to bo heard from,
of which nineteen are situated in Mar
iposa county, where tho democrats
had a majority of from one hundred to
one hundred twenty-fivo in 1888. The
remaining nrecincrs also wnfe Wrrplv
democratic in tho presidential cam
paign and the prospect for Blanchard
is not m consequence very reassuring.

TOE FAITIIIVE IN' IRELAND.
The American Committee Want
No Relief.
Special to The Astokian.
New Youk, Nov. 9. Tho American
committee for relief in Ireland has
issued a statement announcing tho
temporary withdrawal of its nnneni tn
the American people. At tho time
iuo appeal was issued the committee
says there was no reason for believing
that the distress which would follow
the failure of the potato crop in Ire
land wonld be relieved, otherwise than
uj .cumuriuiiu jjeuurosiiy.
No steps having been taken by tho
British government to meet tho crisis,
tho first effort of action of the Amer
ican committee was to provoke flip
pant ueniais iroin tne government
press that distress existed or that f am
ino was threatened. Nevertheless de
velopments of tho last month have
confirmed the committee's warning
and the British government has been
spurred to investigate the situation
and undertake a system of public
works in the distressed districts, which
by partial relief will at least postpone
the threatened famine.
The committee has reason to be
lieve that this sudden HP.Kvifv nf Ihn
British government is largely due to
me sympainy ana support offered
from America, and inasmuch as the
government is now pledged to prevent
distress coming to the Irish people, is
of the opinion that there may be need of
sendincr food and clothino- fo Trolnni
from America. This conclusion is
reached after a friendly consultation
with representatives of the TrisTi non-
pie now in America, who represent
mac ic woum introduce an interfering
element into Irish politics if aid in any
shape should bo sent to Ireland by
any charitable agency, before the pres
ent resources of imperiled peasants
were exhausted. When that point is
reached, if it.does come, tho commit
tee will renew its appeal and trust to
the generosity of the American public
to carry on an adequate relief move
ment Tho Crisis Will come nt nlmnf. flm
close of tho year and it will then be
apparent whether the -nle1ra nf fha
British government is to be kept and
whether relief mens res -nrnmicnA
under its nuspiccs will bo adequate.

maintain its organization so that it

Special by The UmixD Pkess.
Washington, Nov. 9. With tho re
turn of the members of congress to
the city, the contest for the speaker
ship of the next honso begins to as
sume local interest.
Tho fight for the position will bo
waged warmly during the coming
winter and will undoubtedly have its
effect even on the deliberations of rep
resentatives. The most interesting phase of tho
discussion of tho subject at this time
is the question of its relation to the
contest for the democratic nomination
tho presidency in 1892.
One of tho current bits of gossip is
that an alliance may bo formed be
tween the east and tho west in the
speakership contest with a view to an
arrangement for tho presidential nom
ination. Prominent democrats now in the
city say that tho democratic strength
of New York, New Jersoy, Connecticut,
West Virginia, Maryland, part of
Pennsylvania and part of Virginia
can bo thrown for a western candi
date for tho speakership in exchange
for western votes for an eastern can
didate for the presidential nomina
tion. Governor Abbott, of New Jersey,
ex-Governor Black, of Pennsylvania,
Senator Barbour, of Virginia, and

OUR COAST DEFENCES.
No Reason Why Tucy Should Not
Not Perfected.
Special to The Astoriax.1
New York, Nov. 9. The Sunday
issue of tho Sun, in commenting on
General Nelson A. Miles' appeal for
harbor fortifications on the Pacific
coast says: "There is nothing unrea
sonable in tho general's demands
although practically the Pacific
coast can only expect to share in tho
general provisions for coast defense
like tho Atlantic for securing and per
fecting land titles. It is believed
that 5250,000 would cover all
emplacements from Vancouver south
to tho Mexican border. This is be
cause the points thero needing forti
fication are few in number and are all
perfectly known, while the site3 to a
larger extent are owned by the gov
ernment. With a gun factory at
Benicia, and a navy yard at Paget
Sound, the Pacific coast could begin
to supply its own defenses just as it
now is supplying new war ships of
the best sort for the Pacific and Asiatic
squadrons.

tho story told by one of Hunt's in
timate friends he left his home in
Garnett, Kansas, a year ago for a trip
in tho West for his health.
On the road he met Miss McCroskey
and their friendship soon resulted in
an engagement and althongh no cere
mony was performed they lived to
gether in Tacoma as man and wife,
Hunt soon departed for the East and
Miss McCroskey discovered after a
while that she was to become a mother.
"Wishing to avoid scandal she camo to
visit friends- in Iowa and remained
thero until her child wa3 bora. It did
not live long.
The young woman then determined
to hunt her recreant lover up and on
coming to Chicago she met him and
demanded that he marry her. He
agreed, the wedding being fixed for
to-day.
Nothing more was heard of Hunt
from last Monday until Friday night,
when he walked into the saloon ac
companied by threo women. He
bought them drinks and telling the '
bar tender he had no money, offered
his overcoat in settlement, saying he
would not need it again. The bar
tender refused to accept it and with
out a word young Hunt whipped out
a revolver and sent a bullet through
his head. He has wealthy relatives in
Garnett, Kansas.
