CABINET MEETING.
A Proclamation in Strong Contrast With
Republican Precedent.

A Proclamation In Strong Contrast With
Republican Precedent.
WASHINGTON, October 5.-The cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by Secretaries
Endicott and Lamar, Attorney General
Garland, Postmaster General Villas and
Acting Secretary Fairchild. An interesting
question arose in the case OF United
States Attorney who had been nominated
for Congress with reference to the propri-
ETY. of his continuance in Office pending the
result of the congressional election. The
general opinion expressed was that the en-
cumbent had better resign his federal office
and he will be so informed. This action is
in accordance with the recent executive or
der in regard to federal officials participant
ing in politics.
A statement prepared at the Treasury
Department shows that there are now out
standing, $16O 139, ,952 in standard silver
dollars being the largest amount of that
coin in circulation since the issue began. A
rapid decline, however, is now expected as
the result of the issue of the more conven-
lent silver certificates.

THE GOVERNORS REPORT.

In compliance with the request of Secre.
+srv Lamar for information concerning
Montana, Governor Hauser has sent to
report embodyiDg facts, statistics and eug.
cestions which will doubtless materially aid
that department of the Government in
;ts dealing with the domestic economy OF
this Territory. Probably there is no man in
Montana who has a clearer conception OF
the situation in this Territory than Cover
nor Hauser. His long residence here, his
diversified business relations in different
rortions OF the Territory, his thorough
knowledge Of it's several industries, and his
intimate acquaintance with it's wants Pc
euliarly qualify him to give the department
the information it desires.
The Governor states that our agricul-
trral interests have greatly suffered for
want of rains, and that not over one-half
the usual crop Of farm produce will be har-
vested. From the sane cause the cattle
industry is liable to suffer great loss should
the winter prove a severe one, as the great
ranges are already closely fed by the vast
herds upon them, and that many large cat
tie owners, fearing the situation, are
driving their stock up in the British posses
sons where better ranges are afforded. The
sheep interests, however, have prospered
and the receipts from wool alone, he esti-
mates, will be 100000 to $4O0, 900
greater than ever before.
Owing to the extreme dryness OF the
season and the carelessness of hunters and
campers great loss of timber has been occa-
stoned by fire-a loss which lie thinks will
notbe covered by the timber growth of q gen.
Grafton. He estimates there are 1, 500, 900
cattle, 13O, 900 head of horses and 2,OOO,-
600 sheep upon the ranges in the Terri.
tory.
Speaking of the regulations of the De-
partment governing the cutting OF timber
upon the public domain for domestic pur-
poses, the Governor reminds the Secretary
that the mountains upon which our forests
are found are metaliferous, and deprecates
the too strict enforcement Of any timber |
cutting regulations, as it would cripple the |
miner in developing the great ore deposits |
therein. He estimates the population OF |
the Territory at 100000. = Il
Railroad construction is in healthy |
state OF progress, and with the 500 miles OF |
the Northern Pacific road, a branch of the
Union Pacific, and the branches each con-
templates building, together with the ex-
pected advent OF a third line from the
East, the Governor thinks that the time
is near at hand when the people will have
improved rates of transportation with
Al. IL
OF wages which will render valuable thons-
ands OF mines now undeveloped and a large
portion of the present output of the mines
that are now too low grade to be remuner-
ative." He estimates the products OF the
mines of the Territory for the past year
about as follows:

is progressing and in many portions of Ill
inois, Missouri, Kansas and Kentucky, is
completed, and some seeding has already
been done. The wheat movement in Da-
kota is now light, a great deal OF wheat
having already been marketed. The ruling
prices are SO to SIS cents per bushel. The
movement is slow in Minnesota, at SIS to
63 cents. In Illinois very little wheat is
being sold, with prices from 60 to Is cents.
In Iowa the wheat movement is fair at so
to 60 cents. In Ohio considerable wheat is
being marketed at so to 20 cents. In Mis-
souri, the wheat movement has fallen off
with ruling prices, from so to ~ cents. In
Kansas there IS scarcely any wheat NOV
ing, with prices from SO to 20 cents. In
Michigan wheat is freely marketed at 60 to
70 cents.

A Valuable Discovery.

WASHINGTON, October 4.-Last year the
Department OF Agriculture began to expert
ment in a small way at Ottawa, Kansas
with the diffusion of the sugar cane process
as it applied to sorghum cane. Instead ol
crushing the cane as in the sugar cane pro.
cess, it was shaved off in minute slices and
the sucrose. or sugar-yieldlng sap, ex.
tracted by streams of water. The results
obtained were so encouraging that the field
OF operations were removed to Fort Scott
this year, and with a largely increased
plant. Experiments are now in progress
on scale OF some magnitude. To-day a
telegram was received from Prof. Wiley,
chemist of the department, who is in
charge, announcing complete success. The
telegram says that syrup has been OBJ
tained from sorghum cane Of a light color,
good flavor and crystalizing well. There
was complete extraction of sucrose in six
cells of the battery. Commissioner Colman
is very much elated at the results. and re-
CARDS them of great value from an econom-
ical point OF view. In the process now
used in the South there is loss of nearly
SO per cent. of the saccharine matter con.
tained IN the cane, while the experiments at
Fort Scott show an absolute extraction of
all the sugar.
