Department of Agriculture.

If the blishment of the Department of Agriculture was regarded by any one as . mere concession to the unenlight, ned demand of . worthy class Of people. that impression has tesn most efectually removed by the great results already attained. Its home influence has been very great in disseminating agricultural and horticultural informetion; in stimulating and direct ng a further diversihcation of crops in detecting and eradicnting diseases of dom stic animals: and, more than all, in the close and informal contact which 1t has established and maintains with the farmers and stock raisers of the whole country. Every request for tnfor- nation has had prompt attention and every suggestion merited consideration, The scien. tifc corps of the deTa tment is Of high order, and Ia pushing its invest gations with method and enthu sjasni.
 The inspection by this department of cattle and pork products intenred for shipment abroad has been the basis of the success which has ate ded our efforts to secure the removal of the restrictions maintained by the European governments. It is particularly fortunate that the increased demand for food prod ucts, resulting from the removal of the strictions upon our mt and from the recfp- TOT al trade arrangements to which 1 have re- ferr d, should have colne at a time WI the agricultural surplus is so large. Without the vailed The Secretary of Agriculture estt- mates that the restrictions upon the imports market for s2o 000ooj worth oi these products annually.
 The grain crop of this year was the largest in our history, 80 per cent greater thau that of last year. and yet the new markets that have been opened and the larger demand resulting from short crops in Flu ope, have sustained prices to such an extent that the enormous sur plus of mea and breadstuffs will be mark eted at good prices bringing relief and prosperity to an industry that was much depres sed.

The ch,l,an compllcations.

The civil war in hilf. which began in Janu- ary last, was continued, but fortunately with infrequent and not mrortnn armed co, ,lisions, until August 2s, when the on sres sional forces landed near Valparaiso. and after o bloody en- gsgement cap ured that fly.

Our Minister was promptly directed to recognize and put himssl II in mmunieafion with this govern ment as it should have established it's de facto character, which was done. During the pen- dency of this civil contest frequent indirect sp- peals were made to this Government to extend bel igerent rights to the insurgents and to give audience to their representatives. This was declined, and that policy was pursued through out which this Governmen when wrenched by civil war so strenuously insisted upon on the part of European nations.

CHARLES F. CRISP.


 Crisp was nominated on the thirtieth ballot of the caucus and the thirteenth of the day, the result being reached after the following fashion:
 Twentieth ballot--Crisp 9a, Mills %. Springer IT. McMiilin F, Hatch 5, Stevens1.
 Twenty-frst ballot-Crisp 94, Mills 9i, Springer IT, McMiliin IT, Hatch 5, Stevens l.
 Twcnty-second ballot-Cr;sp 95. MilIs 9a, Springer F, McMillin l9, Hatch [. Stevens l.
 No result was reached until tho thirtieth ballot which stood: Grip 119, Mills 104. Springer 4.
 Necessary to choice 114.
 About o'clock last evening MT. Springer met his twelve supporters in private caucus, and after thanking them for their votes released them from further allegiance to him. The meet. ing is said to have been very affecting. Bryan of Nebraska and others wanted to go down with Springer, but that gentleman said he would no longer ask or expect them to support him. In the
  and vote for the candidate of his choice as his judgment dictated for the beat interests of the party.
 Mir Springer saw all the afternoon and evenirg what other bright foll<s fallen to discover. He saw that It some period near or remote he would have an opportunity. either in person or by some trusty friend, to cast a de- cisive vote. So he quietly bidcd his time.
 When he entered the caucus-room Mr. Springer knew that the McMillin forces had gone pretty strongly to Mills, but that Crisp was still in the lead, though lacking an actual ma jor ty. Durborow and McGann had started the procession on the early evening ballotiny by voting for Crisp. but the others of the Sp ing,r guard were still holding of waiting the word. He gave it when the voting stood 113 for Crisp to los for Mills, and seven Springer rren still holding out. When they got the word enough were assured to Crisp to elect him, but it was left to Springer to give the vote which gave . majority. He said: ssMr. Chairmanx desire to vote"
 ''The cleik will call Mir. Springerss name," came from the Chairman.
 The name was called and Mir. Sprine- or re ,ponded calmly: Crisp"
 He had exercised the same right m the other candidates, McMillin and Hatch. The cheers were terrific, and for several minutes nothing could be heard bi tories of Crisp, Sl ringer"
 Mir. Crisp took his hor o modestly. ''It was what cxI c .ted. 2 he said.
 Mir. Mills had been sick al day, but when the news came he took it calmly and philosophically.
 The other House officers reelected were: James Kerr of Pennsylvania, clerk; s. s. Yodder of Ohio, serg eant- at-arms; c. H. Turner cf New York, doorkeeper; l.. G. Dalton of In iiana, postmaster.

The Chinese Question.

The enforcement of the Treasury Department of the law prohibiting the coming of Chinese to the United States has been effective as to snch seek to land from vessels entering our ports. The result has been to divert the travel to v-s- S l, entering the ports of British Columbia whence psSsage into the United States at ob- scure points along the Dominion boundary fs easy. The Dominion Government collects c head tax of s 0 from every Chinaman entering anada. and thus derives . considerable reve- nue from those who only it ports to reach laws.
 There seems to be satisfactory evidence that the business of passing hfnameu through , aDada to the United states is organized and quite active. The Department of Justice has cons ruei the laws to require the return of any Chinaman found to be unlawfully in this coun- try to nina as the country from which he camo, notwithstanding the fact that he came by way ot Csuada. This construction robs the law of all effectiveness. and recomme Ed such legisla- ton as will remedy defects in the law.
