An Agreement Reached.

WASHINGTON, August 15.-The eonfeFees
on the part of the two houses on the army
appropriation bill reached an agreement, and
the fact was reported to the house this after
noon. According to the terms of the agree
mcnt the appropriation for the equipment of
Watervliet arsenal, New York, which was
fixed by the senate at $4,000, has been re-
duced to 800, coo, in consideration of the fact
that the sundry civil appropriation bill carries
an appropriation of 100000 for that arsenal.
The 100000 appropriation made by the SEN
ate for steel forging was reduced by congress
to $4,000, which is to be expended in three
years.
At the instance of Senator German, the con-
ferees also provided for the appointment of q
board consisting of the secretary of war, chief
Of ordnance, All artillery officer and chief of
engineers which is to supervise the expendi-
lures for steel and at Watervliet arsenal. The
house conferees accepted senate provision Of
the purchase Of the Kinsley property at West
Point, with an amendment reducing the num-
Der of the board to be appointed to make the
purchase. The senate item of $500, 600 for the
manufacture, purchase and testing of cannon
is reduced to $3.50, eco.

Carlisle and Mills Disagree.

wAsHINGroN, August 10. - TSpecial] -
Speaker Carlisle has said TO O member that he
thinks tariff bill should pass both houses Of
congress before adjournment, and as the SEN
ate will not pass the Mills bill he is Ia favor Of
the house passing the senate substitute, pro-
yided it makes a sufficient reduction in rev.
enue.
This is Mr.. Gamblers position exactly, but
Mr.. Mills seems to disagree with them, and
doesn't believe there are any democrats in the
house who will join the republicans in passing
q senate tariff bill.
In speaking Of the partial repeal OF the in
teFnal revenue tax justifying southern demo
Gratis in voting for the bill, Mr.. Mills said;
"The southern men will vote with their
party They can't ford for the sake of con-
ciliating certain people who are not satisfied
with the present system OF internal taxation TO
forget they are democrats. The congressman
from Georgia, North Carolina or Alabama who
should repudate our measure and support that
Of the opposition because OF some particular
feature, would soon find himself in hopeless
minority at home. You may rest assured that
when the senate tariff bill reaches the house
every democrat who supported tho Mills bill
will be found voting against it,"
CARLISLE As ATTORNEY GENERAL.
il is said here that IN the event that Presi-
Gent Cleveland should secure reelection,
Speaker Carlisle will be rendered the attorney
keneralship, to succeed Mr.. Garland, who has
Repeatedly announced his determination to re-
tiro from public life upon the expiration of his
present term. It. Is generally believed that
Mr.. Carlisle would accept IL is not improba-
bic that other changes viii also occur, for, as
has previously been mentioned in these dis
patches, il Is understood that Mr.. Whitney
will retire from tho office of secretary of the
navy, and it is known that Mr.. Bayard Is dis
satisfied as secretary of state, and it is OK
pected lac will withdraw and seek return to
the senate.
ABOUT ADJOURNMENT.
Mr.. Chandler says he thinks the time Of adj
iournment Is simply matter of endurance be-
tween the two houses. He believes each is
disposed 10 wait for the othor to move an adj
3ournment, and consequently congress will be
IN session until December.
Senator Brown says he believes an adjourn
ment will DO had by the first OF October.
The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1888-08-21

At further conference of the representa-
tives Of the two houses they have reached an
agreement upon the naval appropriation bill.
The basis of agreement is a substantial eences-
sion of the demands of both senate and house,
the former agreeing to restore to the bill the
original provision for a 1900 ton armored
cruiser, and the latter accepting the 1900 ton
gunbOats proposed by the senate.

HOW IT is DONE.
The work of the agricultural department is
quite interesting, and the reports issued on
the 10th of each month are the most reliable
that can be obtained. This is easily under
stood when the readers of THE CONSTITUTION
are informed that the government has nearly
ten thousand men scattered all over the coun-
try watching the crops and collecting mforma-
ton from the farmers. 1t is from the reports
of this army of agents that the department es-
Inmates are made. In every county there is
one inspector and three or four assistants,
who watch the crops with ex-
tFeme care, and report each month whether
or not the season is favorable and the condi-
ton of the growing crops. This work costs the
government but little, for these agents are not
paid for their work. This fact is believed to
be in the interest of exactness of report, as
well as economy. If they were paid it is be-
lieved that there would be a scramble to get
the places. and many incompetent men would
be put in. These offices are considered places
OF distinction, and the leading farmers of the
different sections occupy them. The most eX-
perleneed men are always willing to furnish
the needed information Blanks are fur
nished by the department and the agents only
have to go into the fields and look for them
selves, talk with other farmers, and then
fill out the blank which is returned to tie de-
partment. These reports are all examined
carefully at the department here. From them
a careful estimate is made by Mr.. Dodge and
his report is the result.
DISPOSITION TO MlsREPREsENT.
In making up these reports Mr.. Dodge has
to take into account great disposition on the
part of farmers to represent that their acreage
is less than it really is. Mr.. Dodge thinks
this is probably due to a desire on the part OF a
farmer to make the number of bushels per
acre appear as large as possible. OF course al
lowance has to be made for these things and
Mr.. Dodge after twenty years experience
knows about what percent of misstateInent to
allow for. The true acreage is ascertained by
comparing the amount of product with the
average yield per acre.
ITS INTEREST TO BROKERS.
In addition to the reports from agents
throughout this country the department gets
regular reports from an agent in Europe
From all the information acquired through the
different agents and com piled here it can gen.
orally be told about what the prices will be,
consequently brokers are always OH the alert
to get the earliest information from the depart
ment for guidance III specializing.
About the last OF July Mr.. Dodge can gen.
orally tell what the amount of all the principal
products Of the country will be. In examin-
ing the reports of agents he sees how at every
stage of its growth the cotton, wheat, corn or
tobacco is progressing and from this he is ena-
bled to make his estimates.

WASHINGTON, August I.-[SpeciaI. THE
republicans OF West Virginia have determined
10 nominate Steven b. Elkins In the second
district, against the distinguished William l..
Wilson, the present representative.
This is TO DO done in obedience TO com
pand from republican headquarters. In order
to do this they have set aside Mr.. John w.
Mason, who, it il claimed, is entitled to be
dominated, but who is not possessed Of sufli-
Client funds. Ekins has the funds, and tho
republican party will also contribute literally
towards the election
MIR. Wilson is n member of tho ways and
peans committee. and he made one OF the
best tariff speeches ON the democratic sido Of
the house lie only defeated his republican
opponent In the last election by ninety votes,
and for that reason the republicans think. by
the liberal use of money, they can defoat him
this time.
1t seems 10 be the object Of tho republicans
70 vigorously contest the seat of every demo-
cratic member of the ways and means commit
tee whore there appears to DO the slightest
chance of success.

WASHINGTON, August 15.-In the course
of his speech on the. fisheries treaty today,
Mr. Morgan 0here having sbeen some
illusions to "yankeo' on the one side and
"slave-holder" ON the other) said: "You
have not hesitatcd to sheer at us, and to say
that VIC are rebels, traitors, men not to be
trusted, men who violated our oaths and at
tackled the national flag, men whose conscien-
COS arc burdened with political sin, that we
all deserved to be hanged, and that we are
living now by your mercy and grace; and /
have only said that you did not dare to hang
any of us. You had Jefferson Davis under ar
rest and the United States government did not
dare toibring him to trial because it would have
turned out-in opinion Of great jurists, who
would have had to try hiln-that he had not
committed treason"
Mr.. Frye--"When the senator from Alabama
was making those charges he was looking at
me. l beg him to remember that in the whole
course of this debate l have made no charge
or insinuation against him. / am a full
blooded yankee, but l do not know man on
that side of the senate for whom l have more
profound admiration that have for him."
Mr. AIorgan--"My eyes wandered to the
face of the senator from Maine because /
knew that they rested ON an honest and benev-
olent face, and. it was some relief to me to
have that opportunity when looking on that
side of the chamber"
This was greeted with hearty laughter The
vote on Mr.. Morgans motion to postpone will
be taken tomorrow.

TIsl,cs End Yetoes.

WASHINGTON August 1.-THE senate re-
sumed the consideration OF the fisheries
treaty in open executive session, and was adj
dressed by Mr.. Morgan. He expressed himself
more and more impressed with the belief that
the attitude in which the government would
be placed at the conclusion OF the proceedings
would be very embarrassing, and probably one
OF great danger, SO far as the peace of the
country was concerned, or at least 50 far
as guietness and the proper progress of
commercial affairs was concerned. lie be-
lieved that after the treaty had been rejected
by the senate, the country would again be
abroad on that sea Of turmoil that had so long
-agitated il on the fisheries question; that re-
newed difficulties would be found in the way,
and that the American people would be found
hardly in state OF preparation to receive,
with composure, the necessary outcome and
result of the senates action.
In the discussion of the question of fresh
fish, Mr.. Beck suggested TO Mr.. Morgan the
fact that, while the tariff bill was pending IN
the house, no New England member had ven
tured to offer an amendment imposing tax
on fresh fish and that therefore the president
could not, (under retaliatory law, place an in
hibition on fresh fish, but would have, if he
nterfered with the Canadian trade at all to stop
the subsidies paid by the Canadian railroad
companies TO railroad companies in Maine and
Vermont.
When Mr.. Morgan had reached in his argu-
ment the question of the protocol of 1885,
arranging modus vivendi, he said he would
reserve the discussion oil that and other queS-
tions till tomorrow.
SOME VETO MESSAGES.
The senate then resumed consideration of
legislative business, The presidents veto
messages in three pension cases were pre-
sented, read and referred to the committee on
pensions. Two Of the bills were
for the widows of soldiers, and in
each case the president holds that the
cause Of death was not attributable to military
service. In one case, where the pension
granted was twenty dollars, the name Of tho
widow is not given, and the woman had re-
married and again become a widow. In the
third case, whore the pension was for disabili-
~, the president failed to find any reasonably
satisfactory proof that the disability was in
cured in the military service.
The senate has confirmed the nominations of
j, j.. Bacon, minister to Paraguay and Uru-
quay; Rufus Magee, envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary to Sweden and Nor
way r. b. Roosevelt, minister to the Neither
lands; Lambert Tree, envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary 10 Belgium; and
G. L. Scott, minister to Venezuela.

A herd Law.

Few, perhaps, are aware of the fact
that this territory has herd law, but
such is the case nevertheless Let one
get a copy of the laws passed at lasr
session, turn to page $50, paragraph
5000, and reads as follows: at be-
ing impracticable to properly inclose
the fields in this Territory, all animals
must be kept under a shepherd, so
that no injury may result to the fields
and if any damage should result it
shall DE paid by the owner of the AMI
mails causing the same, to be assessed
by the justice of the peace in the pre-
clnct in summary manner, and paid
to the person or persons whose fields
may have been damaged. Turning
over to page SCI, paragraph 1926, he
will find that ''all laws conflicting with
the provisions of this chapter are
hereby repealed. Then he can exer-
else his own judgment as to whether
there is not a herd law in every coun-
ty Of Arizona.-Nogales Herald.

editor, and one powder agent and
capitalist. Simpson, of Apache, is
the superintendent of the Aztec
cattle company; Dunlap, of Graham,
and Peters, of ella, are also stock
men; William Hardy, of Mohave, is
an oldtime miner; Geo. w. Chev-
ney is mining superintendent in
Tombstone; J. II. Hoadley is the en-
gineer for the Bisbee consolidated
mining company, and J. NJ. w.
Moore, of Yavapai, is the president
OF the Arizona ore company and
Prescott sampling works, and the
owner of Amulet mine, one of the
best paying properties in Arizona.
Sam F. Webb and L. II. Orme. of
Maricopa, are farmers: Darlington,
of Yuma, is the editor of the SEN
TMEL; Sloan, of Pinal, lawyer;
Drake, of Pima, agent for powder
