From Washington.

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Oae of the suffer
ers by the taxation movement OF the Next
can government had this morning an inter-
view with the President upon the subject -
II is understood that he will make an affidavit
of all the facts in the case and file 1t in the
State Department. Acting under the advice
of Minister Forsyth, he refused to pay the
tax, and with another citizen was compelled
to leave Mexico. II is not probable that MIR.
Forsyth would have been directed to with
draw from the legation and return home lad
he not have terminated his functions with
the Znloaga government.
Contrary to the published statement, 1t is
we'll known here that Col. Kane will not pub
lish report Of his Utah mission. Sufficient
reasons are assigned why this would not ad-
vance the public interest.
There is good reason to believe, from the re-
Gently received information, that our govern
ment is DOW in fair way to acquire the Is
land Of Cuba. This is derived from On IN
questionable source. (?l
VIM. II. McGrath, Of Salem, New Jersey,
has been appointed consul to Maranbau,

The Chinese In California.

The California papers find it hard to fight
against destiny. They cannot stem the new
tide of excitement, and they have changed
their tone in regard to the exclusion Of
Chinese emigrauts. as the following para
graph goes to show;
"Tbe Chinese are buying up abandoned
claims 10 California; and it is surprising to
note in places where, few months ago,
white men were working, to see Celes,ials
husily employed. The discovery of gold on
Frazer river will have the effect OF changing
our policy towards the Chinese. Instead of
preventing their immigration here we will
have to encourage it. The Legislature, at
it's next session, will repeal the act prevent.
ing their entrance here; and il is not at all
impossible 'cooie' bill will pass. We can
not do without labor. What has left must
be supplied"

British and American Iron.

A sufficient tariff would. of course, put .
stop TO the importation Of Euglish iron-bus
we confidently look forward to the day when,
even without the aid of tariff, American
iron.mongers will be able to compete sue
cessiuly with their foreign rivals. The
truth is, the British are now sending their
meGnest quality of iron to us--reserviug the
nest for their own use, and for the Continent.
Although we get rails cheaper than we could
make theu, yet ours are so much superior
10 quality that they are cheaper 10 the end.
1t Is getting to be q very general opinion
among those who are experienced in railway
management that rails Of American manu-
facture are cheaper in the end, though they
may, originally, cost from twenty to thirty
per cent more than the common Welsh rails
We get from abroad.
Pennsylvania and Virginia, alone, have
iron enough TO supply the North American
Continent Tor century to como. The de-
,aaut-partculurly for railroad iron-will
Increase every year. We anticipate the day
for labor is advancing in England--when
our importatiynS Of foreign iron will cease,
and the immense wealth 0! our own country,
in this respect, will be fully Developed

The Apple crop.

\ letter from an intelligent gentleman,
about the apple crop of jefferson and Bel
mont counties, Onig, says the supply Of ap-
ples 10 these counties will not be sufficient
for hume use; and adds:
These counties formerly stood in the
foremost rank for fruit, snd the popular va
rie;ies were very tuIl of bloom this season; and
apples set on well; but the unprecedented wet
season caused not only the fruit to blight
aud fall, but the foliage itself bespeaks an
unhealthy condition OF the trees, and it is an
t,cipatei that a general decline is taking
place, and that fruit growers will have TO
renew their orchards"
