Nobody would wish to make the United
States flag cover fugitive from justice.
But Gen. Barrundia was political refugee
Ii was easy to trump up charges against q
man engaged In unsuccessful revolution.
He dared say that Gen. Barrundia's
character was none Of the best, but when
he sailed under the American flag
OF asylum. Was Gen. Barrundia entitled
to the right of asylum from Commander
Reiterl He tMr Lodge thought he was.
Mr. Lodge believed that the duty of every
American officer was TO take the chance of
error in the defense of the flag, aud not
stand on legal tecbnicallties. This question
was wider than international law: It was a
question of naval policy.
DoLLIvER DEFENDS THE SECRETARY.
Mr.. Deliver Of Iowa also defended the
action of the Secretary Of the Navy. He
trusted that the time would never come
when passengers who were political refugees
on American vessels should want the pro-
lection that was necessary TO preserve the
rights and traditions OF the republic.
Mr.. Boutelle of Maine said that while he
entertained the greatest respect and esteem
for the head Of the navy department, he
was so unfortunate as not to be able to COM
mend the secretary's action toward Com
mander Reiter. He simply rose to say that,
standpoint, he would not have writ
ten the letter to Commander Reiter
that the secretary had published, and if he
had written it, he would not have published
1t.
Mr.. Fithian of Illinois opposed the ship
ping bill, and attacked Charles Hill, secre-
tary of the shipping league, on account Of
his statement that he tsfr. Fithian) was a
British emmissary. He denounced that
statement as a lie and the author of it as an
unmitigated liar.
Mr.. Farouhar of New York briefly de-
Tended Mr.. Hill, and, without disposing of
the bill, the committee rose and the House
adjourned.

Dingley and Donald Impeach the
Veracity of the Witness.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Representative
Dingley, chairman of the silver pool investi-
cation committee. to-day made the follow
ing comment on the published assertions Of
J. A. Owenby (telegraphed last night in a
Chicago interview to the effect that the
committee refused to allow him TO give in
evidence important facts and papers
bearing on the subject Of inquiry,
etc.: "Owenby states in this Chicago in
terview," said Mr.. Dingley, "that the COM
mittee declined to allow him to include in
his testimony cipher furnished him by
Mr.. Donald for use in telegraphing, and
several kilograms from the latter. The fact
is that all these were admitted and Owenby
was questioned concerning each, as also was
Mr.. Donald, who explained that they re-
ferred to information which Owenby was
to furnish him as to the prospect OF legisla-
tion relating to the currency.
owENBY CoNTRADIcTs HIMSELF.
"0wenby says in his interview that he
has great quantity of evidence which he
was not permitted to give. bear ing on the
subject. The fact is that. Afwenby testified
that he had given the committee all the
knowledge aud information that he pos
sessed on the matters OF the inquiry, except
the names Of senator's and representatives,
who, he said, Messrs. Donald, Gun
ningham and Littler told him
were concerned in the silver
speculation. As Owenby testified that he
had no personal knowledge that any sena-
tors and representatives were concerned in
the silver speculations, the committee
unanimously decided that the gentleman
whom Owenby had gwen as his authority
for the names should be called to testify
as to what they knew, rather than to admit
the hearsay statement Of Owenby. These
three gentlemen were called, and they de-
MED that they had ever told Owenby any
thing of the kind, and testified that they
had no knowledge or information in the
matter.
DONALD GOES BACK ON owENBY.
"Owenby mentions in his interview the
name of representative whom he says
Mr.. Donald told him was concerned In
silver speoulating. But Mr.. Donald testi-
hes that he never told Owenby anything of
the kind, and that he never had such
information, and the representative referred
to. having learned through the public
prints that his name had been connected by
Owenby with silver speculation, has ap.
peared before the committee and denied
the charge under OATH

The Monthly Report Of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture.

The Monthly Report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON. Feb. TO- The cotton re-
turns Of the department of agriculture for
February report the estimated product
compared with last year, the proportion
sent from the plantations and the yield of
lint to seed. The plants were prolific in
boiling. opening SO rapidly in the early au~
tumn as TO tax the capacity of the pickers
and leave the cotton exposed to the weather,
which was unusually moist. There is con-
sequently general complaint of discolor-
alton and 10 some extent injury Of the fiber
from the same cause. An unusual amount of
trash was gathered with the cotton that
was thus exposed. Consolidation of the
county estimates as returned by the re-
port, makes 106 per cent. Of the pro-
duct Of last year.
AVERAGES OF THE STATES.
The state averages are as follows: North
Caroline, which had very small crop last
year SO, South Carolina 106, Georgia
los, Florida 95, Alabama 104, Missis-
sippi 103, Louisiana 95, Texas 108,
Arkansas 102, Tennessee 110. Some CORES
spondents claim that there has been an or
ganized effort to hold back the delivery of
the crop, In the hope Of better prices. Others
report its rapid marketing to get the benefit
of the higher rates OF the opening of the sea-
son. 1t is possible that these causes were
both operative, one early in the
season and the other later, counteracting
the early movement. The proportions
sent from the plantations are thus reported |:
North Carolina SO per cent, South Caro-
lima So. Georgia IS. Florida 90, Alabama
SO, Mississippi Sc, louisiana 90, Texas 80,
Arkansas So, Tennessee IS; general average
81. The proportion of lint to seed Is re-
ported at SO TO 80 per cent, the better re-
suits being in the Atlantic coast states and
in Louisiana and Texas
