SECRETARY RUsK's REPORT.
The Increase in This Years Value
 Products @7OO, 100000.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Secretary Rusk has presented to the President his an- nual report as Secretary of Agriculture He calls attention to the specially noticeable feature regarding the crop values of the present year. They are so well sustained in the presence of large yields that the Secretary estimates the probable increase in the value of agri- cultural products for 1891 over 1890 at not less than $700, 900, 900.
 Reviewing our exports and imports Of asricultural products, Secretary Rusk states that during the first three months of the present fiscal year our exports in cereals alone have aggreg at ed in value over $76, 900, 900. He notes the increase by some $2S, 900, 900 in the i'm ports of agricultural prod ucts during the first ten months under the present law by comparison with the same period during the last year of the old law.
 He reviews the subject of meat in- spection, stating that it was not only demanded in order to keep our roreig n markets and develope them, but that there was very general demand foy some such inspection by the people of our own country, in many states of which laws had been passed providing for local inspection. He urges system of inspection for all articles of food which are the subject for inter- state or foreign trade.
 Secretary Rusk devotes considera ble space to a review of the work of the bu- reau of animal industry. Pleuro pneu- monia he regards as quite under control and limited in territory to two or three counties on Long Island and in New Jer- sey, over which thorough quarantine is exercised.
 He earnestly recommends increased appropriations to extend meat inspection to all applicants. "The benefits, D he says, (which have already acrued by the opening up of the foreign markets to pork products, the increased demand for beef products, and thu establishment of their reputation for wholesomeness and soundness in the markets of the world, together with the protection which this inspection furnishes to our own consumers, amply justify liberal appropriation. -r
 Of the rainfall experiments he states briefly that they have been made, but that as regards the production of rain he has no data yet at hand which would justify him in expressing any conclu, sions on the subject.
 In concluding his report he indicates that from the time he assumed the reins of office he has devoted his per. sonal attention to a genera enlargement of the scope of the work of the depart ment in the interest of practical agri- culture, especially to the extension of the market for the disposal of the sur plus of our great staple crops.

Republican Party of Brazil Not in Love
 With the Dictator.
 RIO DE JANE1Ro, Nov. 9.-The new dictatorial government has prohibited the holding of public meetings until all signs of uneasiness pass entirely away. The newspapers are commanded not to make any remarks about Da Fonseca's s dissolution of Congress or dictatorial proclamation.
 There are many evidences that the Re- publican party is disgusted with the acts of the President. Baron de Lucena is the only one of the Ministry who re- mains in the Dictator's Cabinet, and is regarded as an Imperialist.
 Both the army and navy continue to uphold Fonseca in the new role he has assumed. The rumored uprising in the State of Rio Grande do Sul seems to have died out, according to the latest news from that part of the Republic, for everything is reported to be quiet.

A Surprise for the Little Tot.

We have closed out some 200 boys reefers and capes, overcoats for the little fellows from to years. They are OUR kind RIGHTLY-MADE, from the leading manufacturers of children's clothing in this country. We bought them SO low that we have marked them lower than the regular wholesale price. If you have a boy, you want one of these warm top coats, $3. 50, $4, $4 50, $5, a few as high as $7.50, but they are we'll worth the money for they were $S at wholesale two weeks ago. Boys three-piece and double breasted suits are the thing this winter. We have them, just what you want and at a very low price.

sHADRACK NUGENT's AGE.
He Was Probably 100 Years Old, but Not
I3I, rs He Claimed.

Shadrack Nugent died Mt his home, 22l6 NJ
street, yesterday with the firm belief in his
mind that he had passed the age of 131 years.
This would have made him. without doubt, tho
oIdes. man which the District has ever
possessed. Mr.. Nugent mas always been
decided in the assertion Of his age He was
born in Montgomery county and has always
claimed to remember the revolutionary war
At the time he has said he was bound out TO
Lieut.. George Croft being free negro,
until his twenty first year. According 70
Nugents "reminiscences as given before ms
death no was twenty -oue years OF age at tbs
close of the revolutionary war. Mr.. Nagent
has lived In Washington for many years. ms
marriage occurred here and all bis chlidren
were born in this city. He leaves three ciiI-
dren, the eldest being sixty-three years OF
age
1t ia probable that Mr.. Nugent during his
whole life has mistaken the war of 1872 Tor the
revolutionary yar,whIch would have made him
Mt his death little over 100 years Ibis Is
probable fo- several reasons His recoliecnons
OF the war be calls the revolution have many IN
cidents connected with Baltimore. which Would
be impossible before 1900. Again, his father,
Rev Eli Nugeut, a weii-knovn minister IN this
citv. died in 1861. His brother, Mr.. Nugent
has said. was five years older than himself, and
Levi Nugent at the time of his death was, ac-
cording TO his family. seventy-hve years OF age
IL he had lived he would be one hundred and
Eve wears today and if he was five years older
than Shadrack Nugent the latter at his death
was ore hundred years.
Mr.. Nugent will be buried Thursday, No
yelnber 20, at O'Clock.

THE STORM AT JAMESTOWN.
Havoc That Was Played at This Settlement
by Wind and Rain.


Mondays storm caused the partial destruc-
ton of jamestown, for which there is JOY ana
sorrow expressed by the residents who escaped
injury TO person and property. This town Is
the settlement between Lincoln Park and the
fail and the residents are made up Of white and
colored people, many Of them being OF the
poorer class
The shantes in many instances are made up
Of dry goods boxes, pieces OF old boards OIL
every description, fragments OF tin and In some
of the shanties pieces Of old carpet are nailed
against the wall to keep out the frost just De
fore the storm reached the settlement many OF
the natives were out on the vacant lots, ana
quite a number OF them rashed mig .ne ..
places of abode and prayed 20 the LORD 70 save
Presently the chickens. ducks and turkeys
began flying about the yards az II tney were
eognizant of the approach Of something ter
rible, while the goats, mules and horses niaue
all the noise imaginable.
Neichbor Wilson, a colored man who be-
lieved that an ounce of prevention vas
worth a pound OF cure, mas reason
for experiencing change OF mind. HIS
poor cd horse was in the stable and the animal
was sick The stable was roughly constructed
concern. and the owner of the shed and animal
concluded that heavy wind might cause
scattering of boards that would result IN the
death of his valuable steed. and so he turned
the poor creature out into the world for short
while to brave the storm.
Naturally enough the animal went in the
direction Of where the grass was greenest, and
lust this side of the patch of grass the bank was
highest. The poor borse was near the edge oil
the bank when the wind came and IN few
minutes Neighbor Wilson's steed was at the
bottom of the bank with broken neck, and the
stable is as good as ever.
With the storm there was the noise made by the
boards being blown from houses and pieces of tin
were sent through the air with such force that
the natives, who had rushed from their houses
to be safe. as they had supposed, were forced to
return Several Of the shanties were unroofed
or q side taken out, but the domiciles Of
Mary shade and Susan Jones were COM
pietely wrecked. The wrecking OF these
houses caused many of the iawiess class to re-
ioice and the law-ablding citizens expressed the
deepest sorrow for them. Mary's shanty, how
ever, was insured for $500. and her relatives
insist that the policy holds good for damage
by Ere food or winds, ana consequently they
are not troubling the ruins Others IN James
town are troubling them and as long as theirs
Is a stick of wood left they will not suffer fol
want of a red-hot stove.
Mary shade and Susan Jones have Ions
boosted that they were law-abiding member
of the community. Those who sold liquor OF
the sly or kept" speak easies,' as the police cal
them suspected these women Of having giver
the police information and that's why the.
were so well pleased at the result Of the storm
and they are firm In the belief that the LORI
punished them on account, as they accuses
them, Of standing in with the police.
