COMPOUND LARD.
Southern States Protest Against
the Bill to Tax 1t.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Prof.
Sharpless, the state chemist for Mas
sachusetts. gave expert testimony be-
fore the senate committee On agricult-
ure this morning in support of the bill
to tax compound lard. He did not
charge Fairbanks & Co., Armour & Co.
and other well-knOwn and reputable re-
finers he named with using hog grease
or any obnoxious or unWhOlesome in
gradients, but said they could be used
and that it would be difficult to detect
them. He admitted that in all of the
sample or refined lard he had analysed
he had found no dead hog grease. Dur
ing the examination of Prof. Sharpless
Senator George, of Mississippi, declared
his unalterable opposition to the bill
under consideration, and said the entire
South opposed it as proposition to
ruin one of the principal industries in
the South-that of producing cottonseed
Oil-and that he had received kilograms,
petitions and letters expressing this OPP
position of the people of the South, pro-
testing against the bill and showing
that they are practically solid in oppo-
sitiOn to it, He desired to see the hear
ings closed now, and was ready to vote
against the bill, but the committee de-
cided to give one more hearing on a
week from to-day, when Prof. Wiley, of
the agricultural department, will be

WASHINGTON, March 10.-TOday de-
veloped the fact that Callahan Brothers,
of chippewa Falls, are animated by per-
sonal malice against Gregory because of
his refusal to ratify their contracts.
This came out by shrewd cross-questiOn-
ing of Senator Blackburn. But the In
dian witnesses, Ira Isham, Johnnie
White Feather and B. E. Mosagesic, of
the Doreille reservation, and Madaway
asung, of Flambeau, through Inspector
Coffey, corroborated the testimony of
Callahan. MadawayaSung, an elderly
and venerable Indian, said: II am very
old, as you see, but violations of treaties
and SpoliatiOns of our lands are among
the recollectiOns of my childhood long,
long ago. At present Sherman Brothers

then gave similar testimony. He has
seen logging going on by the Superior
Lumber company this winter under
Kennedy, Maxim and Eastman. Gala
han, being cross-examined, said: Eyes,
l employed Thad. Pound fol- my attor-
ney. and he was a good one" There
upon Senator Blackburn asked that
Pound be subpenaed. Chandler issued
a summons for Pound to appear before
the committee. This is believed to be a
fatal error. Pound knows more than
any other man. The Indians wanted
him to testify for them and he would
not consent, but Blackburn sum-
moned him and thereupon brings as an
unwilling witness the very man who
can most damage Gregory, Villas and
the whole outfit. Although protesting
innocence of completely, Pound is really
the instigator of the investigation, and
Blackburn has made mistake in sum-
moning him. This is the general senti-
ment. Callahan was not shaken on
cross-examination, except to acknOwl-
edge his animosity against Gregory.

THE SUGAR TRUST.
Claims of Cheaper Prices Through
MANAGEMENT of the Trust,

WASHINGTON, March 10.-The inves-
tigation into the sugar trust was con-
tinued by the house committee on man
ufactures this morning, 81. o. Have
meyer, of New York, being the first
witness. He said that the original in
tention of the sugar refining company
was to put the stock of the various COM
panies in the hands of the Omitted States
Trust company, and it is pity they did
not, for the functions of those trustees
have been wrongly stated. The state
ment that they managed the sugar refn-
ing business of this country is abSo-
lutely false. 1t is likewise false that
they control in any manner the business
of any one of the companies signing the
deed. There is strict provision in the
agreement to the contrary, and that
hered to. The effect of the
trust in witness opinion had been
to make sugar cheaper to the consumer
than it otherwise would have been.
Sugar was half cent pound higher
than a year ago, but it would have adj
vanced cent pound, as it did in Lon
don but for the trust. Raw sugar was
also higher now, than year ago. For
merly consider able sugar was exported,
but the treasury officials had kept re-
ducing the amount of drawback to be
allowed on the imported materials used
in the manufacture of refined sugar I'M
til they got it down SO low that the eX-
port trade was destroyed. The sugar
industry could not exist without prOtec-
ton, because of the higher price paid
to American labor. The sugar refinerS

being greater on raw than refined

CROP ESTIMATES.

The Corn Crop Is the Smallest
Since 1884, and That of WheatS
Larger Than Last Year.
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The statis-s
tical returns of the department of agri-
culture for March relate to the distribu-
ton and consumption of wheat and
corn, the stock in farmers hands, thei
proportion of mercantile corn and
average prices respectively of merchant
able and understandable. The corn
crop is the smallest since 1884. and thei
remainder on farms also the smallest inI
several years. It is estimated at $685.
100000, against 603,OO0,O0O last year and
1893, 0G0,O00 two years ago. The indi-
Gated stock of the wheat of 1887 in the
hands of the farmers was 132,000,000
bushels, against 122, 900, 900 last year,or 80
per cent of the crop against 26.7per cent
last March. There has been used in
seeding of winter wheat S4,OoO:.ooo
bushels, 100000 in eight months
consumption, 100000 bushels ex-
ported in wheat and -four, 38,000,O00
visibly supply, and all unusual quantity
of minor elevators and mill stocks in the
course of distributions between farms
and local consumption. The report of
cotton marketed was complete for eight
states month ago, but for deferred re-
turns from the CarOlinaS and Texas. 4
The apparent proportions forwarded
from plantations on the first of February
were as follows: Virginia, 80 per cent;
North Carolina, "a; South Carolina, 90;
Georgia. 81; Florida, 81; Alabama, go;
Mississippi, 80; Louisiana, So; Texas, !
"a; Arkansas, go; Tennessee, SO: Mis-
souri, and Indian territory, 20. The gen.
eral average is 90 per cent. This indi-
Gates an increase of 3 or per cent ON
the aggregate of the country estimates
of the first of October, although
the February returns of estimated pro-
duct compared with that of 1886 were
nearly identical with the November re-
turns. This furnishes further illus
tration of the local tendency to under
estimate the production. 1t was sug-
gested in the November report that it
might be assumed that deep-rOOted and
early and well-developed plants would
produce better than is expected in their
apparent loss of condition, and that it
should suppress this first estimate, the
excess might be due to this cause. This
view was correct. An allo vance for the
depression effect OF panic in local re-
turns, stoutly opposed by spectators,
is again found necessary. The quality
of the fiber is superior, condition clean
and the yield of lint little above 80 per
cent. The value of seed averages 16
cents per bushel on the Atlantic, is Is
