THE CRUISE OF THE BOSTON.
Guatemalan Civil Governor Compelled
to- pole gize for Indiguitie- Our Con-
sul-Things Found Satisfied Dry at Corn

A Guatemalan Civil Governor Competed
to Apologize for Indignitie- t Our Con-
su1-Things Found Satisfied Try at Corn
island.
NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-The Tribune this
morning says: The recent cruise of tine
Boston seems to have been fraught with
diplomatic incidents Of Importance con-
corning which the public have been so far
ignorant. The Boston was first ordered
to Livingston. Guatemala, to investigate
the Imprisonment of the American Con-
sui. which proved to have been the result
of drunken freak OF the civil Governor
of the province in which Livingston is stu
ated. The Consulwas released after having
been locked up fol three hours. When
the Boston arrived. and her guns frowned
threateningly at the town. the Governor
made a most full and ample apology.
This matter having been satisfactorily
settled the Boston was ordered to Corn
Island, off the coast of Nicaragua. This
island is the key of the proposed Mica
ragua canal from a military point of view.
Information had been received at the
Ae,te Department that the United States
Of Colombo had set up some antiquated
claim to the island and had entered into
secret compact with France to
take possession of it and cede the
French Government coaling station
there. This would enable France to COM
mand the eastern entrance to the Nlcara-
guam canal. When the Boston reached
Corn Island it was found that the Mica
raguan Government had also heard of the
intended seizure of the island, and had
sent a garrison there with instructions to
the commanding officer to forcibly resist
any attempt to occupy the place by for
eign power. This relieved the United
States Government from any further ac-
ton in the matter.

rods on an Extended Visit to the United
States to Gather Pointers for the Future
Use-Progress of Railroad Construction
in Chili-A Great Inter Oceanic Railroad
Project.
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Pablo Manselli,
Commissioner of CHILEAN State railroads,
is at the Grand Pacific Hotel. in company
with General G. A. karwiese. Signor
MaseGni will spend year in the United
States Investigating for his government
our railway systems, aud collecting such
other industrial Information as he
thinks will be OF service to his
countrymen- Concerning the Gillian
railroads he said: 1.-The Government
OF Chill is very prosperous and the an
nual revenues in excess Of the expendi-
lures now afford surplus of So, 000.0 900.
This year there will probably be a sur
plus of S15.G00,G00. The policy of the
government is to lay out all the surplus
in internal improvements, particularly in
railway building. Every mile OF railroad in
Chill is now owned by the State. There
are 100 miles OF railroad in operation,
800 more being constructed by New
York syndicate and 500 projected. An
Argentine company has begun the con-
struction of a railroad from Talcahuans,
the southern port Of Chilli. to Buenos
Ayres- This inter-oceanic railroad, which
is to pierce the elevated Andes by
tunnel nine miles long. will proba-
bly, be a great artery for traffic between
Australia and England. Talcahuans is
in the same latitude as Australia and the
distance between England and Australia
by this route will be as short as by the
Suez Canal route, besides giving passen-
gers five days rest in travelling through
one OF the most delightful countries in
the world. This line will be six hundred
miles long and is estimated to cost S32,-

THE CROPS OF 1888.

Figures Collated From the Annual Report
of the Departments of Agriculture
Showing the Extent Of the Crops of Last
Year.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The annual crop
report of the Department Of Agriculture
shows that there is a larger aggregate
product of cereals than has ever before
been recorded. 1t will amount TO about
$500 100000 bushels or fully 80 bushels
per head. This is about three times the
average supply per capita of Europe from
home production, and receipts from other
continents amount to only about one
bushel per head.
The aggregate potato production is 800
000,00 bushels, the sweet potato crop
about &C, 900 900 bushels.
The production of cane sugar is small;
sorghum a medium crop.
Owing to the abundance OF moisture
and the moderate temperature OF spring,
the hay crop was very large.
The cotton crop is of medium yield with
increased acreage.
Fruits have been abundant. although
variable in production locally. 1t is the
''even year," and apples are plenty for
domestic use, while their cheapness has
favored expectation.
The wool clip of 1888 was slightly re-
duced in consequence of the reduct ion OF
hocks in Texas and elsewhere. The esti-
mated product is 269, Oo0, 900 pounds.
The meat supply has been very abund-
ant.
The area of maize, as estimated for the
crop of 1888. makes an increase of $780,
043 over the crop of 1887, and 13 304, 259
acres over the census cropo of 1879, indicat-
ing gain of u per cent. in nine years.
The estimates of wheat area make .
reduction of 305,64 acres from the
breadth of 1887. The aggregate is 81. $780,
13s, an increase of only 1,9l5,Sl5 on the
area of 1879, or little more than per
cent. The exports will probably be less
than those of 1s79-S0, by at least 100. 000.-
600 bushels, quantity more than ample
for the annual supply of all the increase
of population since 1880.
There appears to be a further increase
of the area Of oats amounting to 1871
$40 acres, and about Il, O00, 900 bushels in
crease in the quantity produced. The
yield per acre is % bushels, against ga
bushels in 1887.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-The House COM
mittee on naval affairs has completed the
Naval Appropriation bill for 1890. As re-
ported to the House, it approprlates So
9IS.51I. The total estimate for 1890 was
81, 1921, while the appropriation for the
current year was 1892. S35. Congress
appropriated. August 3. 1886, s, 0o0, 900 for
the erection Of the necessary plant at the
Washington Navy-yard for assembling
and constructing the most powerful mod
ern guns. an amount at that time estimat-
ed to be sufficient. This has proven to be
insufficient, and the present bill carries
the additional sum required by the esti-
mates, $685., 900. This bill, if enacted to
law, will complete the appropriations.
