POOR ENGLISH FARMERS.
Evils Resulting from Depression in
 Agriculture.

Mir. Chaplin, Minister of Agriculture, re- stunned the debate on the address in reply to the Queens speech. He commented on the prolonged depression in agriculture, and said that the subject was of greater importance than the Irish question: forming perhaps the great est problem of the time. It was . question which the Government mrst inevitably deal with at no distant day. The loss by deficient agricultural values was estimated for the year 1885 at f42 100000; it could not now be less than ESQ COG, ,0O0-an amount equal to reduc- tion of one-fourth in the export trade of the country.
 Many thousands of acres of land have gone out of cultivation, and there has been 8 con current decrease in cattle and sheep. Another effect of the depression was to increase the masses of the unemployed. Reliable estimates showed that 700, 900 persons were idle owing to the paralysis of agriculture, while those who were employed were found to work at greatly reduced wages. What could the Gov ernment do, he asked, to assist to better state of affairs? He presumed it was not by a return to protection.
 It was not for him to indicate remedies His object was to ascertain from the Government what the farmers had a right to expect from them.
 Lord John Manners, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, admitted the terrible condition of agriculture but said the Govern ment had no specific against it's depression. He hoped the improvement of general trade symptoms of which were now apparent, would lead to an improvement in the condition of the farming interests. Too little attention had hitherto been given officially to agricul- ture The Government, therefore, had decid- ed to ask the two Houses to give their assent 6 bill creating department of agricu tr1ro

MILLIONS INVOLVED; Mrs. Burton's Claim to Lower Cal ifOrnia Lands.

Great excitement in real estate and business circles exists at San Diego the result of two telegrams received from the city of Mexico. The International Land Company of Mexico was incorporated in Hartford, Conn.,, for the Low California. Edgar I. Welles of New York is president of the company. Through the company's San Diego office lands have been lou, in Ensenada, San Carlos, Punta Buena and other Lower California towns chased largely by small settlers and emigrants. Recently there has been controversy over the title of the lands sold. The contestant is Mrs. Burton, who derives her title from her mother, Ysabel Ruisse.
 The lands were converted to Don Jose Man ual Ruisse by the King of Spain in 1884. In December, 1859, Mrs. Burtons title was con- firmed by the Mexican Government On April I, 1887, Carlos Paceheco, Secretary of Public Works issued an order giving new titles to the land in question, in which it is stated that ''ncw titles of ownership be issued to the Mexican International Colonization Company of Hartford. onn.,' said lands be- ing situated in Lower California, between the thirty-frst and tl.irty-second degree of north crn latitude, and constituting the rustic prop erty known und.r the name of the Ranch of Ensenada de Todos Santos. Mrs. Burton, who is now an old woman, has labOred for IS years to regain posse ssion of this property. She found no transfer records in the city of Mex
 
 Government the original deeds and claims, and on the strength of these President Diaz has revoked the order of April 4, 1887, which fact was made known here to-day by the receipt of two telegran,s from Mrs. Burton's attorneys in Mexico.
 The tract of land to which Mrs. Burton has made claim, and which is known as the ssEn- sen ida de Todos Santos, comprises about 300,- 0>O acres, m which are several large towns, The company had already received to date about $2, ,O0O. GOO in cash for lands. The largest single purchase was that of lady who put $40 O00 in the investment The other pur- chascrs ranged from $500 to A5, 900. The con- pany has sold upward of s7,OO0, 900 worth of land on the inStallment plan. If Mrs. Burtons claims are allowed, all of the titles issued by the International Company will be null and void. and thousands of small settlers and in- vestors will be ruined.
 Mrs. Maria Burton is the widow of Gen. Henry s. Burton of the United States Army. He was fellow cadet with Halleck and Ord. He came to California with Stevenson's Regi- ment in 1847. Mrs. Burton herself is still a handsome woman of commanding presence. She is as we'll known in Washington as in San Francisco. In both cities she and her dashing daughter, Nellie, made 8 sensation in social circl s. She wrote a romance of Spanish Cali fornia life called The Squatter and the Don, " in which she bitterly satirized some of her ene- mi. s. She is also the reputed author of the novel Democracy" descriptive of Washington nOlitical life

A CHURCH TRUST.
An Idea that Emanates from the
 Nineteenth Century Club.

To the Editor of the Sun:
 Your article as to the discussion in the Nine teenth Century Club on sectarianism and its futility fails to notice distinct proposition made by me to facilitate that extinction of sec- tarianism which was desired by all. venture to restate my plan little more at length, and to ask place for it in your columns, as con- taining the, germ, perhaps, of valuable re- ligious movement in accordance with the spirit of the age.,
 I advocate the formation of Religious Trust;to prevent sectarianism, as follows; 1. A committee of responsible and devont men, un- der whose care all the sects shall be administer ed. When church is called for, let the trust be appealed to, and let it decide whether the church is needed or not.
 9. Then let the people desiring church be called together and decide by . majority vote whether the church shall be after the Pres- byterian, Methodist, Episcopalian or what ever denomination, Next let the majority ex- majority.
 8. Let the committee have power to close the churches of all names which are not at present self-supporting (especially in towns Der of inhabitants calls for), and turn the revenues to the better support of the stronger bodies.
 4 A basis of population should be fixed as the least number Of souls for whom 8 church should be provided or permitted.
 5. AS all the sects are to be thus amalga- mated they must each consent to forego the emphasis which each lays upon it's peculiar tenet, as the Baptists on immersion, the Epis- copalians on apostolic succession, the Pres hyterians on predestination, the Methodists on falling from grace, and the; like. .. Most differences may be held like differences on ssthe bodily presence in the sacrament" or on ritual or any other view inside of the consoli- dation.
 6. If no sect will accept this basis, it is be- cause the present sectarian feeling is too strong to permit it's reasonableness to be seen, and all the talk of clergy and laity deploring sectarianism is still merely sentimental, and aims at no practical result.
 2. The interests opposing such consolida- tion are, of course, strong, as, first, that the various church organizations furnish living and means of power to many clergyman whose importance might be destroyed; and next, that each church claims kind of ex- elusive divine sanction to it's own special ten et This last might be waived, however, on the ground that after much controversy the distinctive tenet of each had not proved itself strong enough to convince the rest, and. there- fore, would not be indispensable to religious organization.
 In business matters and national affairs just as great interests and rivalries have been merged successfully and to the common ad- vantage. How much more might success be expected in the reconciliation of bodies whose prime duty it is to preach peace and good will.

He says he cannot his way clear to regain possession of his schooners at these figures, and that if he cannot seat with them they will be useless property The Alas kan authorities have appraised the vessels so high that the Anna Beck is the only one Capt Warner could take on the terms asked.
