second comptroller of the treasury, has rem
dered decision that naval officers who
travel at the government expense are not
entitled to mileage, and that mileage is al
lowable only when they travel at their own

result in a saving to the government of sey-

Ored man named Wallace assaulted a four
teen-year-Old daughter Of well-lnown citi-

spasms, and her condition had grew hourly
more alarming until yesterday. when her
death was declared to be but a question of a
few days. The feeling against Wallace
reached fever heat last night, and when it
became evident that an attempt would be
made to lynch the brute, Sheriff HoI-
man resolved to protect his prisoner and
enforce the law at all hazards, and sur
rounded himself with a strong guard. At

Billy Chandler DcFcnds Roach.

BosToN, Mass, July 14.-Hon. W. E.
Chandler, eX-secretary of the navy, has
written letter 10 the Journal in reference
TO the recent opinion of Attorney General
Garland that John ROach's contract
for building the dispatch boat Dolphin is
void. that payments to him are illegal and
may be recovered, and that the Dolphin may
be seized as security for repayment. The
eX-Secretary says: This may seem to be
an extraordinary decision, but it was not
difficult TO an attorney general, who. when
so requested, wiped out an amend
ment of the United States conSti-
tuition with the utmost prOmpineSS
Lawyers, business men and fair-minded
citizens must judge of the sOundneSS of
his present position. 1t depends ap-
parently upon the proposition that
it was an essential and fundamental
condition of the act of congress
that the Dolphin should have fifteen knots
sea speed, which Secretary Whitney says.
she has not reached, that the
contract omitted to require the
contractor TO produce the speed,
and on the contrary expressly provided
that failure to reach ., 800 horsepower
should not prevent the acceptance of the
ship if the materials and workmanship were
good and that the omission was
4 FATAL DEFECT,
and rendered the contract wholly inoper-
alive and void from the beginning.
Let it be noted that the wicked
assault upon Mr.. Roach by two
full-fledged cabinet ministers, resulting
in misused power, is perpetrated solely for
the assumed reason that the Dolphin has
not fifteen knots sea speed, when, in
fact, OH every one of her several
test trips she has reached fifteen
knots, and the last trip was made at sea in
pursuance Of the orders of Mr.. Whitney.
but Mr.. Whitney, enraged at the re-
suit, says the sea was not high
enough, and fifteen knots sea speed means
seventeen and One-half knots when there is
not a high sea, and upon this ar
bitrary assumption the whole fabric of
outrage committed by him is built"
The communication concludes by saying
that even the picked board organized by
Secretary Whitney to condemn the
Dolphin reported that the engines
boilers and main machinery appeared TO be
in accordance with contract.

Agricultural Reports.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Some adverse
criticisms of the governments agricultural
reports has called forth a statement from
Prof. ]. II. Dodge, the statistician of the
agricultural bureau. He says, in part: 1t
is not the province of an official statistical
service either to advance or depreSS prices,
but to tell the truth. 1t is repeatedly
reported that misrepresentation of crop
production insures only the advantage
of the Spectator or wealthy purchaser
Honesty, then, is the best policy for farm
ers in crop reporting. With reference to
the wheat reports of this department there
is some dissatisfaction on the part of specu-
lating or dyspeptic extremists. There al
ways is. Either they do not want the truth
or they cannot see it when materialized.

SOME CRITICS

is a lOoSeness Of statement which has no
foundation in fact. The first report of
winter wheat made on the 1st OF April, be-
fore growth had commenced. on a part of
the area, and when several states were COW
cred in part by snow, indicated probable
reduction of %, 600, 600 bushels as compared
with the previous crop. This was the low
est estimate ever made in April. 1t voiced
the opinions of the farmers of the apparent
status OF the crop at that date, but it is
said, further, the real status of the crop
will be better shown a month hence, when
the vitality of 1.-The roots has been demon
strated and the character of the spring de-
termined. On the LIST of May, after an un-
unfavorable April, when the plant had
PROGRESSED SUFFICIENTLY
TO show the real injury by freezing, the in
dications pointed to a crop of 240, 1000. 600
bushels, reduction of $4,000, 600 only.
On the 1st of June the returns showed that
the discouraged farmers plowed up millions
of acres of damaged grain in the hope of a
more profitable crop of corn, oats or other
grain, thus reducing the prospect again. for
much of this area would have brought a
partial crop. The June returns showed a
promise of 207, 600, 600 bushels, a reduction
of 56, 900, 600 bushels from the April prospect
which was fully justified by the fuller
revelation of winter inquiries, the bad
weather of April and May and the subSti-
tuition of other crops on an immense area
of injured wheat. 1t is a reduction of
149, 600, 900 from the winter wheat record
of 1888, or almost AZ per cent, of which
over 26 per cent. was reported on the LIST of
April. Less than 10 per cent. of this re-
ductiOn is the difference between April and
