WASHINGTON LETTER.
'ECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR.

Washington, D. c., Mag II, '97.
The president will return to Wash
ington the last of this week, and he
will find important matters requiring
his attention in nearly every one of
the departments of government, so
that he will have to put in several
weeks of hard work in order to catch
up with current affairs. The state de-
partment has the Spanish agreement
for reciprocity between the United
States and Cuba and Porto Rico; the
Venzuela reciprocity agreement and
a number of minor affairs including
the question of our right to seize on
the open seas the Itata, the Chilian
insurgent vessel which after being
seized at San Diego, California, by a
deputy U. S. Marshal, on order from
the Attorney General, sailed away
with the Marshal a prisoner, but after
wards put him ashore. The treasury
department has the propositions of
Secretary Foster as to returning to
the old forms Of making up the month
ly statement of the nations liabilities
and assets, continuing the 458 per cent
bonds that will mature in September
at 2 per cent and other important mat
ters pertaining to our financial affairs.
The interior department has some
questions to submit as to the payment
of certain moneys appropriated for
the purchase of Indian lands.
There are also some details about
the Behring sea matters that the pres
ident's advice is wanted upon. Secre-
tary Foster has mailed the instruc
tions for the present sealing season to
the commanders of the reveue cutters,
and has notified them that supple
mental instructions will be telegraph
ed to them at Portland, Oregon, or Sc
attic, Washington, if they shall be
deemed necessary after the presidents
return. Secretary Foster positively
declines to make public the nature of
the instructions sent, SO that it is not
known whether the cutters will sieze
vessels Illegally sealing or not. There
is a general belief here that some un-
England that will stop ali sealing for
this season, although it is not based
on authentic knowledge.
By the way, speaking of Behring
sea matters, it is interesting to note
the opinion of Senator Morgan, the
leading democratic member of the
senate committee on foreign affairs,
of Mr.. Blaine's manner of conducting
| the negotiations. Senator Morgan
said of Mr. Blaine's last letter to Lord
Salisbury made public several days
ago: FfMr. Blaine is very adroit, and,
he has now got his questions just
right. like the letter. 1t is direct,
clear, dignified and has sufficient pug
nacity about it. He keeps Lord Sal
isbury right down to the point so that
he can not get away. The solemn
] truth is that ever since the war of the

HIGHER PRICES FOR CROPS.

The report of the statistician of
the department of agriculture, shows
an increase since April of last year of
more than 100 per cent in the price of
corn and oats, 80 per cent and more
in wheat in primitive markets, 80 per
cent in Chicago for choice beeves and
"a for Texans, and advanced values
for all cereals and meats.
A hopeful and cheerful feeling is no.
ticed, says the report, in official cor
respondence from all parts of the
country. The elimination of the sur
plus of corn and oats, through the un-
der production of last year, insures
good prices for those crops, and the
shortage of wheat of the world for
two years, with the low foreign pros
pect for the growing crop, promises
the largest foreign demand for 10
years at remunerative prices. Fortu-
nately present appearances indicate
ability to meet such demand with ease.
The opinion is expressed that farm
lands at present prices are promising
investments.

marshal remained on board and the
captain quietly sailed off at sea, send
ING the marshal on shore. AS soon
as the government was apprised OF
the sailing of the vessel, the Itata, the
war ship Charleston was sent from
San Francisco to overtake and cap
ture the vessel if possible. Another
Chilian ship, the Esmeralda, is in the
same waters and it is expected that
the Itata viii sail direct for the COM
panion ship, which is a regular Eng
lish built and armed war vessel of
very similar build and strength with
the Charleston. There is likely to be
a very lively fight if the three vessels
come together.

The WGtchnadl says that Colonel
Levi K. Fuller is making an interest
ing experiment at Vermont academy
at Saxton's river. Some time ago he
gave the academy farm, on which
he hopes some of the young men in
attendance will learn many things
about scientific farming, as well as
earn an honest penny. The plans for
remodeling the buildings have been
made, and during the season it is ex-
pected that the farm will be put into
permanent running order Within a
short time Colonel Fuller has sent sew
eral head of pure Holstein cattle to
the farm, and others will be added as
soon as they are needed. 1t is the
purpose of Colonel Fuller, we under
stand, to give the experiment as fair a
test as possible. 1t will certainly be
watched with much interest by all
who are interested in agricultural ed
ucation.

General News Items.

The Russian authorities have sus-
pended the expulsion of Jews from
Moscow.
Reports have been received at Pan
anna that a revolutionary movement
is in progress in Costa Rica.
It is stated that the Uuited States,
France and Brazil have offered to
mediate between the Chilian gov
ernment and the rebels.
Queen Vicroria has done a kind
thing to creditors in paying the debts
of her spendthrift son, the Prince of
Wales. 1t required $1,500,000.
1t is probable that a reciprocity
treaty with San Domingo will be the
next one announced by the president.
The treaty with Venezuela has been
approved by the government of that
country. It is expected to give a lar
ger market for our flour.
There has been great demand late
ly at the treasury department for ten
cent pieces, induced, it is presumed,
by the extensive use of new me-
tallic safe case which has been sold
extensively throughout the country
and which can be opened only when
filed with fifty of the ten-cent pieces.
A movement is on foot in the vari-
GUS departments of the government
in Washington to establish what might
be termed a comparative pension
scheme for the benefit of those clerks
who, through advanced age or physi
cal disability incurred by their SER
vice for the government, have be-
come unable to attend to their duties.
By a fund established through a small
monthly deduction made from the
salary of each clerk, those sick or
aged would receive a pension during
the time of their disability, or for
life when regularly retired by the ac-
ton of an authorized board.
MOTHERS There are upon the skin of every
human being, child and adult alike 2, 900 pores.
Through these pores in the form of insensibe
perspiration is expelled than one-quarter of

portance of keeping open these perspiration valves

digesting the food eaten. 1t to open the pores
of tha skin and to assimilate the food that Dr. Pitch
er formulated Castoria. Loose bowels, constipation
fever and eruptions which are so constant among
infants and children and which kill third of all
children before they five years old, arise prin-
cipally from these two causes. It is from the won.
derfuI results attendant upon the use of Castora in
regulating the stomach and bowels and keeping
open the pores of the skin that Castoria acquired
its worldwide reputation. With plenty of water
for the body, pure air 70 the lungs and Castora to
assinilate the food, there need be no unaccounted
for sickness among children. Castoria is a VI get
able prescription without morphine other narcot-
ic property. Thirty years extensive use has given
it a history never attained by another medicine.

NOT DISSATISFIED.

The Rutland Herald having pub
lished statement to the effect that
there is great dissatisfaction among
the Swedes, who went to Norton two
years since to take up lands and
make their future homes, Gov. Page
has taken pains through Mr.. Hobson
of Island Pond, to ascertain the facts.
The Swedes were induced to go
there by Mr.. Stetson of Boston, gen
tleman who runs the mills at Norton
Mills and who owns the land bargain
ed to the Swedes.
From a letter written by one Of the
parties who purchased the land, it
seems that the colony consisted of
several men and their families. They
bargained for the lands, but were not
required to pay for them till such
time as they could get established and
have some means to pay with. They
came and took up the lands, built
houses and made quite a start last
year toward building homes. Mean
while they had work in the mills and

economical and as the writer says
are thriving and happy. Their chill
dren are in good schools and they
have nothing to complain of. There
were two or three of them that got
uneasy and wished go to manufacture
ing villages, and they probably start
the story of discomfort, poverty and
Inconsistencies. It would seem from
the Swedes' account of matters that
they not only make good laborers
and citizens, but are satisfied with
their location and condition.

entirely in free goods, the comparison

Deafness can't be cured by local applica-
tions, as they cannot reach the diseased por-
tion of the ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional rene
dies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have
a rumbling sound as imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
results, and unles the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing viii be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

The United States consul at Vancou-

said, because he refuses to sing "God
Save the Queen'' and to drink the
queens health at banquets, etc. His
refusal to do these courtesies has
something of patriotic air about it.
but the British officials by whom he
was entertained can hardly be blamed
for regarding the act as in bad taste.
As far as diplomatic relations are con

their institutions must be regarded as

The men in Wheeling, w. Va, who
are working to pierce the earth's
crust in the interest of science, want
some more funds. They have put
their well down 410O feet, and yearn
to go at least a mile further. They
have interested the great geological
survey of the government slightly,
and are busy trying to arouse their
enthusiasm to the financial point. The
ingenious plea is made that it is pro-
posed to keep a careful measurement
of all the strata gone through by the
drill and gave samples of each differ
ent formation. These will be arranged
in glass tubes in the proportionate
thickness in which they exist in the
earth. These tubes will be exhibited
at the worlds fair in 1898, and after
wards preserved in Washington, and
careful statements of what is revealed
by the drill in it's descent will also be
kept at Washington for the informa-
ton of all nations of the earth.
