BERLIN, Aug. 1.-THE ReichSdn0ei
ger tonight announces that in the council
held today it was decided that no neces-
slty exists for a reduction of the duties on
corn, but that, on the contrary, 1t is more
necessary han ever to adhere to the
policy announced by Won Caprivi in the
lower house of the Prussian diet in June
last. hat the government had decided to
maintain the corn duties, aging the ex-
listing tariff must remain until at least new
treaty negotiations with other nations
have been arranged.
PARIS, Aug. l7.-There was an active
demand in the grain market today, es
p~ecially Tor rye, which advanced two to
three francs per 100 ~kilogrammes.
Wheat and -four advanced one franc.
VIENNA, Aug. 1.-THE grain market
was firm today. Autumn rye advanced
fifty kreutzers and wheat advanced
seventy kreutzers.
BUDA PEsTH. Aug. l7.-An active
gram market prevailed today. Wheat
advanced sixty kreutzers.
BERLIN, Aug. l7.-Mixed rye and
wheat -four was offered for the first time
on the produce exchange today in large
quantities. The mixture is much cheaper
than rye -four. Feverish activity pre-
walls in shipping rye at all Russian ports.
Eight thousand tons left st. Petersburg
in eight days. Yhe German Reichs bank
has decided to lend money on corn to two
thirds, instead of one-half, its value in
order to facilitate purchases by small deal
ers.
The Reichszdneager says the gov
ernment is confident there is sufficient
wheat to take the place OF rye and a re-
ductiou of the duties would only enrich
foreign dealers without affecting the price
of bread. The whole government press
reflect these views and declare hat high
prices are due to bourse speculation, not
to scarcity. and that the ukase would have
been issued sooncr had Germany reduced
the grain duties. 1t is significant, how
ever, that Count Kanltz, a Leading pro-
tectionist, pleads for a temporary suspen-
sion of the duties.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE following
dispatch reached the Associated Press
from San Salvador today. 1t had no
signature. but doubtless emanated from
an official source:
SAN SALVADOR, Aug. l2,-The reports
published recently in New York touching
the revolution in Salvador are altogether
inaccurate. They arc doubtless based on
the circumstances connected with the pas
sage of several Salvadorian refugees from
Nicaragua to Guatemala on board the Pa
cific Mail steamer City Of Panama.
Among the refugees was Los andre Le-
tona, a man who has been guilty OF com
mon crimes, and against whom criminal
charges have been preferred in San
Miguel. The court demanded that lie
tona be surrendered. The captain Of the
Panama, il Indirect violation OF the law re-
fused to deliver him, but weighed anchor
and sailed away without previous permits.
sion from the captain of the port. By this
act he rendered the vessel liable to the
penalty of confiscation. Such was the
origin of the false reports which have
been published. 1t should be borne In
mind that the authorities of Salvador
respected the existing treaties and made
no demand for the surrender of any other
refugees on board the Panama. 1t Is a
serious matter that the government OF the
United States should set our interests at
defiance, though justice is manifestly on
our side. Surely, then, we have fallen
on times when the right Of force prevails
over the force of right.

Few people are aware of the enormous
profits realized by the successful fruit
growers of California, and yet fortunes
are being made in this industry. A
notable example of this fact is A. T..
Hatch, whose success has been little
short of the marvellous, On his fruit
farm in Solano county he has 400 acres
of full bearing trees and 400 acres of
trees that are still too young to produce
even a small yield. Last year from the
400 acres, after paying the expenses Of
the entire orchard, he realized q net profit
of $109 900. The cost of caring for the
young orchard was nearly or quite $1O,-
600, SO that his actual profits were a
little more than $500 per acre. Prices
were unusually high, but the yield Of
this year is SO much greater that he ex-
poets even larger returns.-San Fran

BURLINGTON OFFICIALS
On n Tour Over the Burlington Lin
and VISIT CHEYENNE.

The big rum of the Burlington route
arrived here in private cars from Denver
yesterday and left this morning for the
East over their own road. The party was
met by a LEADER reporter and. while
they were willing to talk, as one of the
party put it, they had nothing to say.
They are highly pleased with the crop
prospect along their lines and think that
the West is to see again an era OF pros
perity. A handsome passenger train is
to be run out OF Cheyenne as soon as the
business will warrant it, and if tie crop
prospects IN Western Nebraska fulfill
their promise the train will soon be added.
The company has no intention of doing
any more builling this year. The Burling-
ton will stop at Gillette, where it is, and
will not build on into Buffalo until next
spring.
The members of the party are j. q.
Peascy, vice president and treasurer;
Geo. b. Harris; second vice president; L..
o. Goddard, assistant to first vice presi-
dent; G. NJ. Holdrege, general manager;
7. G. Calvert, general superintendent.
They are on a general inspection to see
what amount of business may be expected
in the movement of crops.

1t is proposed to establish in the lower
part of New York city a museum of
decorative art, where artisans and de-
signers for the various manufactures can
find specimens of the best work of all
ages, together with suggestive books,
charts, designs, etc, that will help them
to produce something out of the beaten
track. 1t is proposed to connect with
the museum a school that will teach
drawing and give instructions by letters
and Rotations. Such a museum as this
would contain models of the best work,
goldsmith's work, enamels, ivory, leather,
and wood carving, silverware, art work
in iron, bronze, brass and other metals,
pottery, and designs in silks, cretonnes
and other textile fabrics, wall papers,
painted tapestry, etc.-in fact, examples
Of every possible form of art as applied
to the industries. Speaking of industrial
museums, we wish to note that a very
complete little museum of industrial art
exists in the Pratt institute, Brooklyn,
being created as a part of that beneficent
enterprise.-Decorator and Furnisher.

The motion for a new trial for Parkison
was yesterday overruled by Judge Scott.
Parkison was convicted in the last term
OF court OF manslaughter. His attorney
received a communication from some bar
bers who stated on an affidavit that they
had heard a buglcr named Knight state
that he had killed Parkison. Their aft
davits were presented to the Judge but in
his opinion they did not carry sufficient
weight TO warrant a new trial.
The penalty for manslaughter is ten
years at the most but 1t is thought that
his sentence will be a light one owing to
the circunstantial nature OF the evidence.

Excitement In New York.

New YORK, Aug. l7.-Pandemonium

excited brokers could not restrain them
selves until the board opened, but for
halt an hour previous were climbing over

bowling and wildly waving their hands
like a horde of savages in their eagerness
to make a sale. Many spectators were
present. Gables reported the European
markets opening from one to three and a
half cents above Saturdays closing

mented by reports from Chicago. When
the gong sounded all sorts of conflicting

days close. January opened at $I.Is6.
September corn opened at seventy

after the opening a reaction set in.

SAN Francisco, Aug. IA CORE
spondent writing from Santiago de Chile,
under date of June 81. states that Balma-
ceda has issued $4,000, 900 in fifty cent
paper pieces, and it is compulsory on all
to receive it. The regiment so highly ex-
tolled by the government, which retreated
from Tarapace through Argentine Repub-
lie and arrived at Santiago 2U0 strong,
where they received their pay and were
granted five days leave of absence, since
which time they have failed to put in an
appearance. Balmaceda has issued a
proclamation to increase the army to co.
900. All departments are in the hands of
Balmacedan soldiers in squads, who are
picking up Volunteers which means
that every man gotten bald of is forced
into the ranks. 1t is believed that this is
bad policy, for most of these volunteers
sympathizo with the opposition and don't
wish to fight their own countrymen.
