Stamped Out

WASHINGTON, D. c., November g.
Secretary Rusk, in mis- third annual re-
port as Secretary of Agriculture, says
that Notwithstanding the abundant yield
of crops this year, values are well sus-
tanned, and estimates that the increase
in the value of agricultural products
over last year will be not less than $780,
OOO.O
He states that during the first three
months of the present fiscal year our
exports in cereals alone have aggregated
SIC, 900, 600, adding that the indications
now are that the sales abroad OF the
surplus from our farms will during the
present year largely exceed those OF
any previous year.
He notes the increase by some S23,-
900 in the imports Of agricultural pro-
ducts during the first ten months under
the present law, by comparison with
the same period during the last year of
the old law but emphasizes the fact
that the increase is confined largely to
articles not competing with home pro-
duets, such as sugar, teas coffee, etc.
At the same time he states that the
change in the rates has checked the
importation of products which may be
produced at home.
Referring to the import of hides, ad-
mitted free of duty, he states that this
causes great depreciation in prices re-
allied for hides OF home production and
earnestly recommends that the duty
provided for, in section 3 OF the tariff
act approved October /, 1890, be i'm
posed in all cases where the countries
from which such hides are shipped have
not granted equal cOnceSsions,in in regard
to the admission Of the agricultural
products Of the United States.
He estimates that the losses to our
pork raisers during the past ten years
owing to the prohibition by foreign
countries aggregate over S2G0,00O, 900.
Pleuro pneumoaia. he regards as quite
under control and limited In territory
to TWO or three counties on Long Island
and in New Jersey over which thor
ough quarantine is exercised. Inspec-
tion by American veterinarians OF cattle
landed in Great Britain has been con-
tinued as well as the inspection OF such
animals before shipment.
The Secretary points out Tue lact lnat
for more than year there has been no
we'll authenticated case Of plero pneu-
monia in American cattle exported to
foreign countries, .and adds that the
coadttien- Of United States trade and
vigilant supervision Of our government,
Justify the strongest presentation to
the British government OF the griev-
ance which our cattle raisers suffer un-
Justly by reason OF its arbitrary regula-
tions enforced against American cattle,
coupled with an urgent demand Tor
their removal, adding that they have
been clearly shown to be useless.

MOLLY MAGUIRES.
The Society Said to Have Been Revived In
Tennessee and Behind the Release Of
Couyicts,

The Society Said to Have Been Revived In
Tennessee and Behind the Release of
Convicts.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, November s..
From reliable source it becomes ap.
parent, that the society of Molly Ma
guires has been revived in the noun
tainS of east Tennessee, after its SEEM
ing death in Pennsylvania, and that to
the order is due the recent release Of
convicts leased by the State, in pursu-
ance of a deep laid plan.
The liberation was accomplished
by men mostly from Kentucky,
who came to the scense ostensibly
looking for work. and were quartered
in the cottages of the resident miners,
the local leaders having gone to Knox
Vile, which, by the way, was the un-
derstoOd signal for the raid.
Another singular feature appears in
the meeting of the Welsh Eisteddfod in
this city, the trouble eliminating at
Briceville that night.
The membership of the Eisteddfoi is
largely made up of miners in Georgia
and Alabama, and it is understood by
those in the secret that the situation in
those States was discussed, with what
result the near future will tell. The
end is not yet; the movements so far
have been open secrets, and it is almost
a foregone conclusion that a movement
will be made on the Tracy City and In
man convict camps, Notwithstanding
the strong guards there.

Work Since tho Rebellion.
New YORK, November S.-The Brook.
Navy Yard presented an appearance OF
activity, witnessed for the first time
since the exciting times OF the rebellion,
to-day. The hum and din of the busy
workmen on the war vessels Mianto-

bath stiffness.

day and night for the past week In pre-
pairing the two vessels for speedy ser.
vice at sea. Yesterday the work OF
preparation was continued, it being the
first Sunday since the late war that
such q thing has occurred. There were
eighty men at work on the two vessels,
and all expedition will be used until

sinking of the Baltimore, but it is con-
ceded that the strained relations be-
tween this country and Chile has caused
the government much anxiety to get all
it's war vessels ready for any possible
contingency.
