TUGSIN THE STRAITS.
Canada's Claim to Half the
Channel IncontrOvertible.
MoouL SEIZURE NOT ILLEGAL.
Secretary Window Warns American
Towboats to Keep on the WASH
ington Side of the Water.

WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. 10.-fSpecial l.
Secretary Window has issued the follow
ing circular to customs officers in regards
to towing by United States tugs in the
straits of Juan de Fuea:
This department is informed that the tug
Mogul, vessel OF the United States, has been
seized by the Canadian authorities for taking in
tow vessel In the straits of Juan de Fuca Mt a
place more than three miles from the Canadian
shore, but on the Canadian side of the center of
the strait and towing said vessel to place in
Canada, and that fines have been
imposed by the Canadian government
as understood, under the provision OF chapter So,
revised statutes of Canada, which prohibit the
towing of an American steam vessel, or any
ship, vessel or raft from one port or place in
Canada TO another port or place in Canada, ex-
cept in case of distress. IL is understood that
the practice has heretofore been on the part OF
both Canada and the United States to allow tow
ing in the straits mentioned without such re-
strictions. The Canadian inspector of ports,
however, has informed the local
agent of the owners of the tugs
Mogul and Coils at Port Townsend that the de-
cision of the department of customs and of the
department of justice OF Canada was such as to
leave him no doubt OF the views held by the
Canadian government, and that on the first
arrival OF either of these tugs which had been
guilty in the past OF breach of the laws of Can
ada in the respect mentioned, he would demand
the payment of q further penalty of $500 for each
time that given tug had been guilty.
am informed by the secretary of state under
date of the 18th ult- that his department is not
prepared to eontrovert the claim OF the Canadian
government as to jurisdiction to the middle of
the straits and that owners of American towing
vessels in the locality of the straits should be ad
vised so far practicable as to the purpose of
the Canadian government.

PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS.
Everything but Hay Is Quoted at q
Higher Figure.

WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. Dissatisfied
returns Of the department of agriculture
for December give average farm prices of
agricultural products from estimates made
both by the government and the states
The present corn crop Is worth more than
the last and the farmers will receive more
for 1t. Unfortunately, the districts of fail
ure do not realize this portion of
the advance in average value. The
average price by the present returns
is. SOL cents per bushel, against 2s.3 for
1889, an increase of ~ per cent. 1t is the
highest December price of the decade, ex-
cept 1884, when tho average rose to 6S6
cents, that being the only year of the de-
cade in which the final average of condi-
ton was worse than that of the present
season. The present average shows that
small crops are sure cure for low prices.
The prices in the seven corn surplus states
are: Ohio 81 cents, Indiana Al, Illinois 43,
Iowa Al, Missouri ii, X Kansas 81 Nebrask a AZ.
The average farm value Of the wheat
crop is estimated at 81 cents per bushel,
against 69.S for 1889. The value of wheat
is affected by the harvests of other coun-
tries, and therefore prices are not entirely
governed by the size of the homegrown
crop.
The price of oats responded sharply to
the pressure of the small crop and the in
increased demand because of the short
corn crop The average is. 42.2 cents,
against % cents last year. 1t is the highest
report since 1851.
Rye, like oats, at 62.9 cents, is higher
than since 1881, and the same is true of
barley, at 6i.S.
The deficiency in the potato crop has
caused an advance in values in all sections
of the country. The average is III cents,
an increase of more than 80 per cent. over
the prices of the past two years.
Returns show slightly higher prices for
tobacco than have prevailed since 1881.
Hay alone, of all the farm products, re-
cords decline from last year. The present
price is $7.4 per ton, and the falling off is
due to an increased product.

NEW CONTRACT LABOR BILL.
At Least 90 Per Cent. Of the Immigra-
ton Is i'm Violation OF Law.

WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. 10.-The repre-
sentatives composing the House contin-
gent of the joint congressional committee
on immigration have agreed upon bill to
regulate immigration. Chairman Owen
will report the bill as soon as possible. In
explanation of the general features of the
measure Owen said today:
1t is new contract labor law. The old law is
SO wretehed. inefficient that, according to the
testimony OF the labor inspectors, 20 per cent of
the immigration now coming to the country is
in violation of the contract labor law. The
statute was framed TO meet the condition of
things that existed at the time the law was pass
ed. Employers have now changed their meth
DDS, ana the law is unable TO reach them. 1t is
practically useless, so we have framed the new
law. We have also very much enlarged the
prohibited classes of immigrants.
The bill is substantially that introduced
a week ago by Owen, and heretofore pub
hshed. Polygamous persons are added TO
the list of classes defined in the Owen bill
as not entitled to be admitted into the
United States. The tax upon aliens, which
in Ovens bill was fixed at 30 cents, was in
creased by the committee to $40.
