Decrease in Produce Exports.


WASHINGTON, April 19.-It is fully clear
that the expectations of our chief products
are not to reach this year so high figure as
last. This is especially true of wheat and
pork. Statements just issued by the bureau
of statistics show that in the past nine
months the expectations of wheat have only
amounted to $57, 100000 in value, against
100000, 900 in the corresponding time of
the preceding year, the number of bushels
in the past nine months being
$53, 100000, against s94,OOO,O 900 in
the former nine months. The expectations
of wheat -four in the past nine months were
SCI, 000, 900, against S43, 900, geo in the cor
responding time year earlier. In hog pro-
ducts the falling off is equally great. The
expectations for the past five months amount
to only $50, 900, 600, against S3S, 600, 600 in
the corresponding time Of the preceding
year. In the expectation of beef and beef
cattle there has been marked increase, the
value of these exports in the past five months
amounting to $15, O00,0 900, against about
$11 900, 900 in the same period last year

No Cattle Disease in the Country.

Special Telegram to the Globe
Fort KEoGH, Montana, April 19,-The
secretary of the American National Agri-
cultural association having addressed letter
to General James S. Brisbine requesting his
views in regard to the holding of great
national cattle show, the general has replied
urging that the show be held and suggesting
that at the same time a National Convention
of Cattle Breeders and Stock growers be held,
at which all the stock associations throughout
the country shall be represented. He thinks
this is especially important, in view of the
pending congressional legislation on cattle
diseases and the bad results that are likely te
follow it. He takes strong ground against
congressional interference with the cattle
trade, and says there are 10 cattle diseases
in the country worthy of notice, much less
national legislation

VIII Susp end Whisky Production.

PEORIA, H., April 19.-The decline in
whisky in the Cincinnati market created a
futter among the Peoria distillers. No ser-
Gus alarm was felt, however, and at a meet
ing held last night it was resolved to maintain
prices. This was done on change to-day,
the board of trade circular quoting the mar
ket firm at SLY, the price which has pre-
vailed here for some time. Shipments 729
barrels. The news Of a further reduction
to-day, however, had a much more depress-
ing effect, and left no doubt in
the minds of local distillers of
general Generalization. Another meeting
was held tonight to consider the situation
but the distillers are reticent concerning the
proceedings, and it is impossible to learn
what was done, except it was decided to sus-
pend operations in all distilleries here on
Monday. Several thousand head of cattle,
which are being fed here, will be shipped
away as rapidly as possible. Eight cars were
shipped to- day, The distillers decline to
give any information or express any opinion
as to the future.

THE ORDERLY From MAINE.

The Loganites and others who are
after the scalp of Fitz John
Porter are for the moment happy. There
has been some new evidence discov-
cred which convicts that officer beyond all
peradventure. This evidence, lately ex-
humed is that of an orderly, who has just
been discovered somewhere down in Maine
Grant, Garfield all the leading military men
of the age have carefully examined the case,
and come to the unanimous conclusion that
Porter was innocent. But now there turns
up after twenty years, an orderly from
Maine, who is of different opinion from
that of Grant, Rosecrans and many others
who commanded armies during the war, and
this of course, settles it. The orderly knows.
For the sake of patriotic republicans who
are chattering over Porter, and who never
saw any war and who may therefore be OF
the impression that an orderly outranks a
Major General and is possibly "bigger man
than old Grant," it may be stated that an
orderly is private soldier who is species
of body servant to the officer to whom he is
attached. He saddles the steed of his SUI
matters and in the case of an officer of high
rank, the orderly is never anything
more than a species OF upper
servant. When commanding officer
wishes to send instructions to his subordin-
ates as to the disposition of troops, or other
important matters he always sends one of
his staff as bearer of the orders. When an Of
ficer wishes to borrow gallon of whiskey
from neighboring tent he sends an order
ly with his compliments; when command
ing general wishes to order a major general
to execute movement, the orderly is pre-
cisely the man whom he does not select for
the duty All the great Republican journals are
elated, enthusiastic, babbling over reVala-
tions of an orderly down in Maine. Grant is
nowhere and nobody. Garfield, Rosecrans,
and all the others are nowhere and nobody,
but the orderly from somewhere down in
Maine is everywhere and everybody. He out
ranks them all. He is superior to the best
military judgment of the age. His word as
against the great captains who led the nation
al armies and saved the union, is over
whelming and conclusive. And now that
the orderly has been brought out, let US have
the cook, the cook has as good an opportu
nifty to judge of Porter and the maneuvering
of armies as the orderly; possibly, better,
as he is man whose profession includes
thought and high order of judgment And
there is that intelligent contraband trot him
out He BACKED the boots of officers, stole
pigs and chickens for the headquarters mess,
and was in position to know more than the
orderly as to the movements OF divisions, and
the plans of battles. Let us have the contra
band. His testimony as to Porter's treason
will be conclusive. Lets have him He is
as valuable a witness as the orderly and not
unlikely better informed and more intel
ligent man.
