CABINET GOSSIP.

A Weak Leg I'm the Cabinet Said to be Caus-
ing Anxiety i'm the Mind of the President
Hints That Bayard MAY Retire.
NEW YORK, June 25.-The Suns WASH
ington special from an occasional COR
respondent says: "All is not harmony IN
the Cabinet, and the President is
troubled. lie is not at one with the
Secretary of State, and the differences
that have arisen will not be mitigated by
time or obliterated in the progress of the
administration. Bayard's course in re-
gard to appointments and the general
spirit in which he has conducted the de-
partment, have been great disappOint-
ment to the President, aud to some other
members of the Cabinet. Bayard, they
say, has proved capricious and uncer-
tain; his course has not been guided
by any fixed policy or logical purpose,
and he is declared to be the one dissen-
tent and permanently inharmonious e!e-
mcnt in the administration. The Objec-
tons to Bayard are cumulative, and no
degree of patience. leniency or ingenious
explanation can conceal either the pres
ent drift or ultimate result. That result
is that Bayard will presently leave the
Cabinet. The President is kindly dis
posed and by nature very tolerant man,
but in respect to what he regards as un-
justifablc obstacles he knows no amen
tiles whatever"
WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 25.-In re-
ply to an inquiry to-day respecting his
probable retirement from the Cabinet,
Secretary Bayard said: SIT is Mr.. Clcve-
lands Cabinet. You had better go and
see him about it. l have nothing to say
in regard to the matter"

Craps Bad in Franklin County-Poor and
Shrunken Heads.
ST.. LOUIS, June 26.-JOhn VAIL & Co.
yesterday received the following letter
from Henry c. Thias, of Washington,
Franklin County, one of the largest grain
shippers in the State: "All parties are
holding off. The majority of the millers
and spectators are expecting liberal re-
ceipts of new wheat in short time; per-
haps they are right, but around here, so far
as | can learn, the farmers will all stack
their wheat. l have not heard of any
who will thresh out of the shock.
l have noticed that the reports of
the growing crops are better, and that in
some localities they have commenced cut
ting. AS far as the latter is concerned, l
can say the same from here. but the i'm
prOvement in the growing wheat Can not
see. Admitting that more wheat heads
are to be seen than some time ago, what
will these wheat heads bring? Nothing
but poor and shrunken berries, on account
Of not ripening at the same time as the
earlier heads" Reports were also received
from Gasconade County, adjoining Frank
lin, that careful inspection shows that
that county will have twO-th.rds of an
average crop.

The Special Agents Report Shows the
Manufacture of 1t to be Complete
Failure.
WASHINGTON, June 25.--The Depart
ment of Agriculture has just issued re-
port by Professor Wiley, chemist of the de-
partment, upon the sugar industry of the
United States, comprising statistics of cane,
beet, sorghum and maple sugars. Some
idea of the value of sugar of all kinds used
in the United States may be formed when
it is considered that fair estimate of the
total cost to consumers places the sum at
$3.50. l3l $50. The duty paid by consumers for
both sugar and mOlasses is about SSS.05 per
capita, and The amount of sugar used per
her head is about fifty-six pounds. The re-
port of Mr.. A. j. Decker, special agent of
the department., shows anything but favor
able report of the various efforts to manu-
facture sugar from sorghum in Kansas and
elsewhere. While the amount manufactured
during the past year aggregate 100000
pounds, yet the cost of production was so
great the enterprises entailed heavy losses
almost everywhere. Referring to the
Hutchinson, Kan, sugar works, Mr..
Decker observes: ''This factory was
built and operated by learn
GU ciit1lISi, having nlgn ScnOldTly aCtall1-
Nen!s, and his calculations gave the exact
amount of sugar that would be produced.
But his calculations were at fault some
where, for the season closed without devel-
oping a single pound of sugar. The next
season, 1888, the service of Prof. Man.
gus Swenson, of the Wisconsin University,
was secured as Superintendent. The re-
suit of the seasons work was 1000, 900
pounds of sugar. This was heraIded by
Kansas spectators as. the solution of the
sugar question, but the facts were that the
cost of production was far in advance of
the amount received for the sugar, and the |
company became bankrupt. The |
property not being suitable for other
purposes, another effort was de- |
cided upon, and Professor SwensOn placed !
in the position of Superintendent for the |
season Of 1884. That season has now
passed, and the result shows $50, 900 pounds |
Of sugar, but again at heavy loss in the
lost of production, and this factory will |
probably not be run again for making sugar
from sorghum" The same conditions ap-
pear to occur with the Kansas sugar com
Dany at Sterling. Kan, Drllmmond Bros,
