WASHINGTON, April 20.-It is expected that the
judiciary Committee Of the House in tie matter OF
the subpoena of its file clerk by the Judgc-Adyocate
in the Hazen-Staucy court-martal will report that
the Judgc-Adyocatc may issue requisitlon FOR the
taking of dispositions, and under this may be al
lowed to obtain authenticated copies OF the docn-
mcuts desired from the House of Representatives.
II is a curious fact that the testimony in the lnVes-
tigaiion before the Military Committee for when
the Judge dvocate asks was never printed by the
House Influences too strong to be resisted were
used to prevent it's publication. 1t was the tesi-
mouV I'M which the abuses Of the post trIdcshlp -ys-
tenn were first cXroscd; and if the subject had been
closely followed no ar that time the Democratic
Congress would never have made the BeiAuap I'M

W,,uyGroN. April 20. - The report upon
agriculture by j. J. Woodman, Of Michigan, Assls-
t,nt-Commi,~oner to the Paris Exposition, CON
tains an interesting account of the exhibit OF
Grains II saws the finest exhibit Of agricultural
products from the United States was that OF the
Oregon State Commission. the other great ag-
rcultural and cereal producing States OF the Union
some were not represented at all and some only
partially.
The report contains q comparative statement Of
the present condition of agricultural interests III the
rrincipal countries of Europe, noting especially the
uoiuts i'm which they dillcr from the same indus
tries i'm our own country. In France the average
.zc of farms is sixteen and half acres arabic or
thirty-three and a half acres Of productive land,
making J, 077, 7sl farms. OF these. 2,o26,39s or
II per cent are cultivated by the owners; S3l'9l3
or ONLY II per cent rented AT fixed price; ana
: prr cent are worked on shares. The free use OF
fertilizers is mentioned as the reason FOR the heavy
crou. realized from small areas. The advantage Of
rotation has also been fully Observation-Disclosures.
In the English exhibit samples of Moldss new va
rieties of wheat were shown IN the straw and at
tracted much attention. II wa, claimed that this
wheat could be sown one month earlier aud would
require only onc-hali the quantity of the old yarc
Ties and would produce 100 grains from single
stalk. and III bushels from single acre. The re-
mort shows that the average production Of England
per acre is greater than III any other country IN
Europe if not in the world. In Austria and Hun
gary 92 per cent of the whole territory Is pro-
ductiye and the soil is highly favorable for agrl,u
ture The farmers generally own the soil they cu-
t,yntc The average yield of wheat is fifteen bush
els 10 the acre.
An elaborate and comprehensive table giving the
average amount of the cereal production of the
European countries which furnish surplus for
commerce and also those which are obliged TO I'M
mort breadsuils, shows that the average annual
production of cereals III Europe amounts TO 5,l47,
