MAYOR GRACE REPLIES To MR.. GOULD.
Mayor Grace has replied to Jay GOulds
communication complaining OF the Mayors position on
the question of taxing the elevated railroads. MT
Gould offered TO and argue the question.
IN behalf OF OF allowing them 10 settle their
taxes on the basis OF assessment adopted as TO the prop
ery real and personal Of other corporations in the city
The Mayor in his reply that this is exactly the
basis as the city authorities regard it, upon which the
elevated companies have already been assessed. The
only error which has been acknowledged court
by the city authorities purely clerical one due to
the manner in which tho written statement Of the
elevated companies TO the amount paid for their real
estate was made up and rendered to the Tax Commits
soners The errors can be recined whenever the rail.
road companies desire and the controversy be
ended by paying the balance or the sum claimed The
Mayor adds that the elevated railway companies
with number OF other corporations have
been cndcavorng TO escape the payment Of
not only part but Of all OF their taxes on their
bill prepared by the Corporation Counsel. and,
with the approval Of the Mayor and Controller sub
United 10 the Legislature for enactment. There is
reason MI Grace says, why the elevated railroad
panies should be exempted from the provisions of the
bill The Mayor declares that lie desires to wrong
one bnt he Intends far lies in his power, to
that the city has its own. lie has Lad prepared sub
visions Of bin affect all companies alike, and enable
them 10 itigao all questions other Than The one as 70
whether they 10 escape taxation altogether IOr local
purposes Tor 1850 and 1881.

would substitute payment FOR the Of the streets in
lieu of taxes and the second for the payment Of
"a percentage OF the gross receipts or the companies

ALARGE APPROPRIATION BILL.
Innx ~. A I'LL 20 L u "


WASHINGTON. May 9.-The House Committee on
Appropriations will probably report the Legisla-
tive Executive and Judicial Appropriation bill 10
the House this week. The amount recommended to
be appropriated by this bill will be in the mel hbor
hood of $40 600, 600 This will be large increase
over the amount appropriated in the same bill for
the current fiscal year. II is understood that the
increase will be mainly on account OF additional
clerical force in the Pension Office the Adjutant-
Generals Office. the Surgeon Generals Office, the
General Land Office and the Patent Office.
The Appropriations Committee has come to the
conclusion that it will be both economical and wise
TO provide for enough clerks IN the Investigation
and settlement Of pension claims to bring up all ar
rearagcs of work of that sort within the next three
years. This will be welcome news to the pension
claimants throughout the country, many thousands
Of whom have been waiting months and years to
have their claims investigated and adjusted, which
has hitherto been iInpracticable owing to the linn
tied force employed for that purpose.
For several years there have been many just COM
plants because sufficient clerical force has not
been employed in the General Land Office. In some
of the divisions the work is years behindhand. and
in hundreds of cases this has caused serious incon
venience and loss TO persons having dealings with
that Office. The Is true OF the Patent Office
As that branch of the public service more than
sef-suppOrng, the injustice of subectlug inventors
to long and expensive delays is all The more glar
ing; although the Democratic majority in the last
three Congresses could never be brought to az
knowledge or realize If. 1t is understood that the
increased appropriations on account OF the pension
service alone Will amount to nearly 81. 100000.

THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
lnY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.


w.survoroS Nav q. The House of Representa-
tiyes devoted the entire day to the discussion and
consideration of the bill to enlarge the powers and
duties of the Department of Agriculture and before
adjournment the previous question was ordered on
the bill and amendments. Although the final vote
was not taken there il no doubt that the bill VIII
pass the House by very decisive majority. The
proposition TO transfer the Geological Survey 10
the new Department was very wisely stricken out
Only two other material amendments were adopted
One Of them requires the director of the Geological
Survey TO furnish. application of the Secretary
of Agriculture such information rs he may possess
respecting waste lands, lands bearing gypsum and
other natural fertilizers. and other information
which may he useful to agriculture. The other
amendment provides for a " division of forestry"
the chief Of which "shall ascertain the annual
amount Of consumption, importation and exporta-
ton of timber and other forest pre- ducts the prob
able supply for future wants; the means best
adapted to the preservation and renewal OF forests ;
the influence of forests upon climate. and kindred
subjects" The House also determined that the sec
rotary OF Agriculture must be an experienced ana
practical agrlculturlst.
The discussion of the bill to-day rather ami
mated, and some OF the nosiest speeches IN us
favor and in benal1 of the great agricultural IN
terosts of country were made by lawyers At least
feature of the bill as 1t now stands is open TO
criticism and objection. Ii provides for bureau Of
statistics and among the duties Of this bureau are
enumerated many which now regularly per
formed by other branches OF the GoVerninent-by
the Bureau of Education in the Interior Depart
ment, and the Bureau of Statistics Ill the Treasury
Department. There seems 20 he no good reason Tor
a duplication of work by the different branches of
the public service in Washington As matters are at
present organized, there is even now considerable
unnecessary duplication. especially of statistical
work. in the several Departments, and the evil GER
tainly ought not TO be aggravated or the expense
unnecessarily increased.
