IDAHO.
Last Territorial Report - Agricultural
and Mining Interests.

Last Territorial Report - Agricultural
and Mining Interests.
George L. Shoup, the governor of
Idaho, in his annual report of the affairs
of the territory for the last fiscal year,
estimates the value of the taxable prop
erty of the territory at S95,5sl, ,30j.
This includes real estate and improve
ments, railroads, live stock, goods,
money. bank securities and personal
property not classified. About three
tifths of the agricultural lands of Idaho,
the governor says, are arid, and to be
productive they must be irrigated,
Thirteen out of the eighteen counties in
the state are in the arid belt.
One of the principal industries and
source of revenue of Idaho is stock rails
ing. The last winter was the most sew
ere ever experienced since the settle
ment Of the company, and the losses of
stock were heavy. Stock Of all kinds is
being improved by importation of well
bred animals, and satisfactory prices
have been obtained this seasea for
horses and beef cattle and stock.
The report says that there has been
for several years a satisfactory increase
IN the production of mines, the output
OF last year being nearly double that of
any former season. As TO the Mormons,
the governor SAYS that to al appear
ances they have resolved TO abandon
bigamy and polygamy. The total in
debtedness cf the new state of Idaho
on Oct. /, 1890. was $3.50, ,267. Idaho
was admitted into the Union rs a state
early in July.

land, Vt, special gives an interview
with Charles H. Wood, Of San Jose,
Cal, temporarily stopping there, who
was an eye witness of the death Of Gen.
Barrundia, at Acapulco, Central Amer
lea His version forA the most part is
simply corrohoration Of the chief facts
already published in connection with the
shooting,
Mr.. Wood says that when the
steamer having Gen. Barrundia on
board entered the port of Champerico,
it was boarded by the Guatemalan off
GERS, who demanded BalTundias sur
render, alleging that they had an order
of arrest IRON Miner, the American
minister. The purport of the order
was that if the ship was within league
of the Guatemalan shore, it would be
the captains duty to deliver up Gen.
Barrundia. Capt. Pitts, believing this
order a ruse, refused the demand and
sailed for San Jose.
The interview then detailed the al
ready well known facts of the boarding
OF the steamer at Sail Jose by the Guat.
emalan officers, whose order Of arrest
was stamped with the minister's official
seal, and in obedience to which the
party was led by Capt. Pitts to Barrun-
dla's state room, where the document
was read to the fugitive In the latter
part of the order, said Mr.. Wood, was
pledge on the part of Minister Miner
that Barrundia's personal safety would
be assured.
Barrundia, however, blinded by de-
spair, did not wait to hear the closing
words, but saying NYesn in French
darted behind his door and Immediately
rushed out, firing bullets from re
volver held in either hand, but injufirlg
no one. He was thea sjddled with balls
from the~oilicers' weapons.
Mr.. Wood expresses the opinion that
the affair was disgrace to the Ameri-
can flag, more especially rs two Aineri-
can warships lay near by and could
have assisted in saving Barrundia.

BY Way OF the rans-Continental Rail
way Routes.
Secretary WINDOWS annual report
will contain a recommendation that tlo
privileges now enjoyed by the Cana
dian railways in transporting freight
for this country shall be materially
abridged. In communication to the
senate concerning this subject, Secre-
tary Window said
Il am informed that since the COM
pletion of the Canadian Pacific railway
goods arriving at Vancouver, British
Columbia, from Asiatic ports destined
for the United States, have been placed
in the cars of that company, which
were then sealed by the United States
consul at that port and forwarded to
their destination in the United States.
"I find that this practice has been
acquiesced in by this department inso-
far that the customs officials at the
frontier ports of arrival have respected
the consular seats and allowed the cars
to go forward without entry aud ex-
aminations of their contents if the seals
were found intact. am of the opinion
that it was the intent of the law to con-
fine the privilege Of the consular seal to
cars containing merchandise Of the con-
tiguous country, and that such priv
ilege does not extend to cars containin q
imported merchandise landed in the
contiguous co ntry for transit through
it to the United States. In this view Of
the law it is in contemplation to restrict
the privilege to cars containing mer-
chandise of the contiguous country"
Il ii well understood that the admin
istration is determined in some way to
bring Canada TO terms for her arbitrary
conduct in the matter Of the Behring
sea and North Atlantic fisheries. 1t is
believed that this end may be secured
by striking at the system of Canadian
railways. and especially their transcon-
tinental route. The business which
these roads secure from the United
States forms a considerable part of their
entire transactions.

MEXICAN RErALIATIoN.

Its EGec.s win he Severely Felt IN the
Western states.
san ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 81 The re-
taliatory policy Of the Mexican govern-
ment against the Mckinley bill has
begun, and its effects will be severely felt
all through the western states. Begin
ming with Tuesday a tax Of $500 a car
load ON horses or cattle stock against
United States importations will be en-
forced in all Mexican ports.
Cattle and horses sent across the Rio
Grande Tuesday and Wednesday by mn
sophisticated owners We're subjected to
these duties. The consequence IL that
several loads have been seized
ON Hogs Also.
Thv Mexican congress, in addition,
passed q retaliatory tax upon importa-
tions OF hogs, which have been mostly
shipped to Mexico from Kansas City
The importation tax on United States
hog has been fixed at $3.50 a head.
AS there are no hogs Of any value raised
in Mexico, the result will be that the
Mexican consumers will pay twelve and
half cents per pound for pork in place
OF the persent price, whichis eight cents.
May Not Be So bad After All.
Expectations to Mexico have for the
present entirely ceased. 1t is UNDER
stood, however, that they will shortly
be resumed, as the Mexican purchaser
and not the American exporter win pay
the duty.

OUR DEFENsELEsS CONDITION.


Pointers in the Annual Report Of General
miles.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. Gen. Miles.
in his annual report, says thar the sub
ject of coast defenses is the most im-
p6rtant military question now before the
people, and yet there appears to be less
information upon it and less interest
taken than in any other National ones
tion, He feels thgt congress and the
executive is powefless unless prompted
and sustained by intelligent public sem
timent. and therefore proceeds to stat
the truth about our unfortunate condi-
tion.
He speaks Of the mistaken belief that
in case Of hostilities, ample time will
always be given to prepare for war.
History shows us the reverse. Only n
exceptional cases has declaration of
war preceded hostilities At the rate
of progress we ARE now making it
would require from fifteen to twenty
years to put our coasts III proper condi-
fion for defense, and in tine meantime
much Of the wealth Of the country is in
jeopardy and at the mercy Of any fourth
rate or iifth rate naval power.
The recent practice maneuvers of the
English navy demonstrated The fact that
their powerful navy could not defend
even the limited coast Of that island
and it is useless to suppose that any
navy we can construct can defend our
extensive sea coast. Land batteries are
far more economical than armored ships
as means of defense. In conclusion
Gen. Miles recommends that sites for
coast defenses be secured without delay;
that gun foundry be established on
the Pacific coast, and one-fourth Of the
required for coast defense
be made every year for the next four
wars
