Work M ao Vmat Veer by
Lireaavlng Borvlee.
Washington, Nov. 19. -The report
of the secretary of agriculture begiu
with the report of work of the bureau
of niuial industry.
The total number of auiuials in
spected at the slaughterhouse wi con
siderably over 18,000.000, an increase
of more than 5,000.000 over the prev
ious year. During the year ante-mortem
inspection was also made of 6,000.
000 animal. The oost of inspection
was also reduced to 1.1 cents per ani
mal. In 1898, inspection ooet 4.75
cents per animal, and in 1891 it cost
1.76 cents. Over 1,360.000 animals,
cattle and sheep, were inspected for
foreign market, of which 675,000
were shipped abroad. Over 45.000,
T00 pounds of pork waa inspected mi
croscopically, exported, as against 35,
000,000 in 1894. and 23.000,000 pounds
in 1898. Of the amount exported last
year nearly 23,000,000 pounds went to
Germany and over 9,000,000 pounds to
France. This inspection involved the
placing of over 1,900,000 specimens
under the microscope. The cost of each
examination was less than 6 cents, or
for each pound of meat 2 mills, consid
erably over any previous year. Losses
of cattle in transit to Europe were
greater than in 1894, being respective-
ly, for 1895 and 1894, U.ea ana v.oi
per pcent
Over 80,000 cars, carrying over 820,
000 animals, were inspected for Texas
fever at qaurantine pens during the
quarantine seasons, nearly 9,000 car
loads of cattle being inspected also in
transit, and over 28,000 cars were
cleaned and disinfected. Besides, over
156,000 cattle from non-infected dis
tricts of Mexico were inspected for
shipment to Northern states.
The secretary says their importation
free of duty is advantageous to feeders
having a surplus of feed and to the
consumers, who outnumber the pro
"Sneers. Much space is devoted to discussing
. the opportunities for American meat
products in foreign markets. Of 341,
TjOO tons of meat received at the Lon
don central market in 1894 71,000 tons
were American, while nearly 60,000
tons came from Australia. The Amer
ican proportioan has been maintained
during 1895.
t JEIe oloses with a discussion of the fu
ture of farms and farming. The aver
age value of farms by the census of
1890 was 2,900. The value of imple
ments, domestic animals and sundries
will make a total farm plant of $4,000
for a family averaging six persons.
These farms fed the farmers and their
families and 40,000 urban residents,
besides supplying $500,000,000 worth
of products for foreign consumers. In
the presence of these facts the secretary
says:
"How can anyone dare to assert that
farming is generally unremunerative
and unsatisfactory to those who intel
ligently follow it?"
The mortgages on farm values do
not exceed 16 per cent, a less incum
brance on the capital invested than in
any other line of industry. He fortells
confidently a steady increase in the
alue of farm lands as the population
of the country increases.
Be port of the Lifesaving Service.
Washington, Nov. 19. Mr. Kim
"ball, superintendent of the lifesaving
service, in his annual report, states
that at the close of the last fiscal year
the establishment embraced 251 sta
tions, 184 being on the Atlantic, 53 on
the lakes, thirteen on the Pacific coast,
and one at the falls of the Ohio at
Louisville. The number of disasters
to vessels vritbin the field of operations
of the service during the year was 4S3.
There were on board these vessels 5,402
persons, of whom 5,382 were saved,
and 20 lost Eight hundred and three
shipwrecked persons received succor at
the stations, to whom 2,232 days' re
lief in the aggregate was afforded. The
estimated value of vessels involved was
18,001.275, and that of their cargoes
12,645,960, making a total value of
property imperiled $10,647,235. Of
this amount $9,165,095 was lost. The
number of vessels totally lost was 73.
' In addition to the foregoing there
were during the year 192 casualties to
small craft, on board of which there
were 421 persons, 415 of whom were
saved, and six lost Besides the num
ber of persons saved from vessels of all
kinds, there were 110 others rescued
who had fallen from wharves, piers,
etc., the most of whom would have
perished without the aid of the lifesav
ing crewB. The crews saved and assist
ed to save during the year 379 vessels,
valued with their cargoes at $4,561,
665, and rendered assistance of minor
importance to 181 vessels in distress,
besides warning from danger by the
signals of the patrolmen 249 vessels.
The investigations made into the de
tails of every shipwreck involving loss
of life, and into the conduct of the
lifesaving crews at these wrecks, show
that the unfortunate people who per
ished were beyond any possible aid
from the service, and no life was lost
through lack of prompt and faithful
efforts on the part of the lifesaving

Hawaii Waal, to AM o This
Country aa a Territory.
Port Townseud, Wash., Nov.lt.
t.i advice received from
Honolulu today, ou the bark U U.
Bryant, sentiment bluK cultivated
in Hawaii to grant Princess Kaiulani,
heir apparent to the late throne, a pen
sion of $6,000 a year. Many of the
legislators have expressed themselves
as favorable to the proposition.
The bitter contest which was waged
against the confirmation of William
Castle, late minister to the United
States, who was barely continued by
one majority, culminated iu a compro
mise bv the peruiauent appointment of
J. C Hatch, a member of Dole's cabi
net. A few days previous to the minis
ter's departure for Washington, the
cabinet convened in lengthy session
and discussed the possibility of Hawaii
becoming a part of the United State.
One cabinet officer stated that Hatch
was instructed to proceed on lines
tending to closely oeuient the two
countries until the American adminis
tration changed, and then to insist
upon speedy admission of Hawaii as a
territory.
THE ALEXANDRETTA MASSACRE
ConBrmatory Advlcea Have Been Re

Constantinople, Nov. 19. Late ad
ri. nraivnd here from t lexandretta,
Northern Syria, confirm the accounts
' of a massacre of Christians in the town
j in the presence of 800 Turkish soldiers
who did not render any assistance to
' suppress the disorders. Armenians and
1 Mussulmans accuse each other of burn
j ing the village and of other outrages
which have occurred in Northern
R-rria.
Beports received from numerous Ar
menian villages toward the end of Sep
tember describe numerous and well or
ganized Kurdish raids, followed by
stealing of flocks of the Armenians.
In some cases murdering of the men
and assaulting of the women have oc
curred. Any complaints made to the
authorities were simply ignored.

A Vtii Virginia Desperado.
Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. 19. A
terrible tragedy occurred this morning
at Wileyville, Wetzell county, twelve
miles from New Martinsville, the
county seat The result is the death
of one man, an officer of the law, who
was instantly killed; the fatal wound
ing of another, and a serious injury to
a third, and the escape of the perpetra
tor. The tragedy occurred on the outskirts
of town, and was witnessed by several
persons. Among others were James
Baird and a citisen named Hibbs, who
attempted to overpower the murderer.
White opened fire on them, bringing
down Hibbs with a wound in the stom
ach, from which he will likely die,
and hitting Baird in the leg. This in
timidated the others, and White es
caped. It is now reported that a posse
has been organized and is after the
murderer, with prospects of a lynch
ing. .

electric motor car, containing about
twenty passengers, went tnroogn me
draw of the central viaduct at 7:45
o'c.ock this evening and dropped 101
feet to the river below. It is a horror

iron. It connects the heights and the
prosperous residence sections on botn
sides with the business center of the

THE SUGAR TRUST.
It Has Ilerlareil a lloyeolt Agaln.t the

Chicago, Nov. 10. A special from
Umaha says:
The growth of tho beet-sugar Indus
try iu this state has attracted . tho at
tention of the sugar trust, which has
alreudy taken steps to prevent the sals
of Nebraska sugar. Jobbers and deal
ers have been notified that If they sell
the refined product of tho Nebraska,
factories tho trust will decline to sell
them the cheaper grades, which sro
not manufactured by the Oxuard.
The result of this Inhibition is that
$100,000 worth of Nebraska in a do su
gar Is stored in warehouses in Qioahs.
The matter has been laid befonl thn
Manufacturers' & Consumers' Associa
tion, and effort will Is) made to get
Western jobbers to agree to handle the
Nebraska product regardless of conse
quences. There is a strong bouio pat
ronage sentiment in the stute which
will favor the Nebraska sugiir-niakcrs.
It is estimated that the year's output
in the Grand Island and Norfolk sugar
factories will reach, If not exceed, a
value of $H00,O0O, or nearly one-third
of the total amount consumed iu the
stato.
