Mr.. Ingalls, as an Accession.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 24.-The sem
timents expressed by ex-senator Ingalls, in
his Boston interview and his interview al
Baltimore are very gratifying to the farmer
alliance officers here.
Mr.. Ingalls, keeps telling the people through
the newspaper interviewers that they greatly
underrate the importance of the farmers
movement, and entirely mistake its sigui6-
canoe, and he hints that it is time for the
east to become frightened. He now e1-
presses belief that the farmer alliance is not
only sincere in its aims, but most of its am
billions are laudable.
Congressman Jerry Simpson said that he
was glad to observe the manifestation of re-
pentance on the part of Mr.. Ingalls,.
u am glad to see Mr.. Ingalls, coming
around to our News" said he. 1--WE shall
De pleased to welcome him into the ranks of
the new party. Mr.. Ingalls, is one of the
ablest and most brilliant men of the time,
and we need all the recruits of his kind that
we can get.
Il am only sorry that he did not fully ex-
press himself before the election or during
the campaign last fall as he does now.
suppose his conversion is the result of the
severe discipline administered by the people
of Kansas. We want more republicans con-
verted, and well get them, too. The people
of the east will wake up pretty soon to the
realization of the fact that the farmers of the
west mean business"
"Yes," concluded the sockless statesman,
''the alliance is growing every day, and the
accession of ex-senator Ingalls, is highly
gratifying at this early period"

From the Big Mills.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, March A.-The
Northwestern Miller says: The mills ground
more flour last week, the total product being
LIE, 200 barrels, against 1858 barrels the
week before, and 137 900 barrels for the cor
responding time in 1890. The flour market
is in rather an inactive condition, trade for
the last week having been limited. Patents
are hard to dispose of, though the domestic
demand has been rather improved. Foreign
markets are about Is too dow. Bakers are
easily kept sold up to production and at fair
prices, mainly for export, while low grades
are in very active demand at top quotations,
both from home and foreign markets.

New YORK, March 24.-The state senate law
committee continued its investigation into
the sugar trust. William Dick, of Dick 4
Meyers, one of tine trust companies, testified
that be could not tell anything reliable con-
corning the trusts profits. H. A. Havemeyer
was submitted to a long examination. He
testified that the 81, 000, 900 loan was made by
the constituent companies as individuals and
not as a corporation. Mr.. Havemeyer de-
clined to give the valuation placed upon his
stock turned over to the trust. The witness
said the books of his company showed no
personal property when the company was
organized into a corporation. The refining
business was conducted entirely on borrowed
money IN amounts ranging all the way from
one TO fifteen millions. Sensation. Mr..
Havemeyer refused TO tell the number of
shares of his corporation that were turned
over to the trust. He declined also to tell
what were the profits of the trust. He said
the books would show the profit. The books
were in the Office of the Central Trust COM
pany in New Jersey. He refused to produce
the books. The trust was formed, the wit
ness said, fo- the pecuniary advantage of the
members. He evaded the question asking if
it was not formed to keep up prices.

Germany Must Swallow Our Pork.

New YORK, March 21.-A Washington spe-
cial to the Mail and Express says: President
Harrison has decided upon summary meas
subject of German opposition. Minister
Phelps has been notified by the state depart
ment, at the request of President Harrison,
to demand of the German authorities that
the embargo be at once removed, else the
president will proceed to exercise the author
ity given him by the last congress, and by
proclamation close our ports against Ger
man imports. The announcement amounts
to nothing less than threat, and the result
will be interesting. The state department
officials refuse to discuss the matter. There
is no doubt that communication has been
sent to Minister Phelps, for the president so
informed senator who called on him.

Good Words for Our Colleges.

BosToN, March 21.-President Eliot, of
Harvard, has returned from his trip through
the west. He was greatly impressed with
the educational development of those states.
He said of this:
THE advance which the west has made in
educational matters in the last few years is
marvellous. I was particularly impressed
with the rapid strides which all the state uni
Versities have made. They have advanced
wonderfully and have become broader and
more generously equipped IN every way.
These western colleges have been able, owing
last twenty years, to make an advance which
it took our old Puritan fathers a couple of
centuries to complete"

This failure is 8 direct result of the assign
ment of John D. Knox & Co. thirty days ago.
Although the institutions have not been
connected IN any way, the public, and par
ticularly the eastern creditors were unable to
see It in that light, and almost Immediately
q quiet run was commenced upon the United
States Savings bank. The eastern creditors
holding time certificates, presented their
accounts and they were paid as fast as pre-
sented, and some of the local depositors
withdrew their funds. The officers of the
bank had completed arrangements with an
eastern banking house by which they were to
get any amount of money they might need.
The security was agreed upon and the bank
did not look elsewhere for assistance.
When the time came for the use of the
cssh, however, it was not forthcoming, and
the officers of the bank were compelled to
put the institution in the hands of an as

A SHIP LOAD
Of Italians Lose Their Lives in the Bay Of
Gibraltar-In a Storm q Steamship
is Driven Upon the Ram Of
a War Vessel
out of $50 Souls on Board see Lives Are
Lost-There Were 700 EmiErant Pas
seneers-The Winds and Waves
Were Irresistible.

GIBRALTAR. March Cot is now believed
that the loss of life by the sinking of the
steamer Utopia was much greater than at
first estimated. Several bodies have been
washed up on the Spanish shore. Everything
possible was done by the British war ship to
rescue the unfortunate immigrants, so much
SO that four of the seamen were washed over
board and drowned. The scene was heart
rending. The 700 immigrants on the sink
ing ship filed the air with wild and horrible
cries for help, and shrieks of terror as they
saw death awaiting them in the angry waters.
Overhead the clouds rushed furiously, driven
by the southwest gale. Almost 200 were res
cued.
At this hour, $50 D. H., the number of the
saved is 331, and the loss of life is placed at
about 400. Thirty-five bodies have been re-
covered.
At 4:3O it was announced that the official
report of the number of persons on board
the Utopia show that when she left Naples
the steamship had $50 souls on board, in
Guiding passengers and crew. Of this num-
Der only 81 have been saved. Thus $50 of
her passengers and crew are either drowned
or missing.
An officer of the Utopia says: 1--WE were
slowing our engines, preparing 10 ducnOr
when. before we realized our danger, We
found ourselves broadside on the bows of the
Arson. There was a shout from both yes
sells, which was instantly followed by the
Anson's ram tearing into the Utopia. We
were about a quarter Of mile from the
shore at the time. The officers in and about
the catastrophe say that they will never for
get the scene that followed the collision.
The Italians were thrown into q state of
complete and cowardly panic. They yelled
frantically and fought madly to reach the
forecastle. few of the married men
dragged their wives with them, but the bulk
of the single men were needless of the pite-
Gus appeals of the women and children. The
forecastle and rigging were soon crowded,
and the vessel began to settle down."

Rules of Hog Inspection.

NEW YORK, March 21-Secretary j. n.
Rusk is here to study some details prior to
putting into operation the new law provid-
ing for the inspection of meats for foreign
markets. He talked with great enthusiasm
of the future of the American hos. He will
make the rules for inspection as simple as
possible, and will not direct microscopic ex-
aminations to be made, except in shipments
to countries where fear of trichina has been
shown. He believes that the law will satisfy
Germany, France and England, and he an
ticipates large increase in the expectation
to those countries.

A SHARP SECRETARY.
Jerry Rusk Outwfts the Old World Gov.
ermnentS

Jerry Rusk Outwits the Old World Gov.
ermnents.
CHICAGO, March A.-The sensationally
large purchase of cattle in Canada during
the past week by American capitalists
brought to light here the first public knowl-
edge of the results of mastery international
campaign that has been quietly but effectually
waged by Secretary of Agriculture Rusk.
The object was to afford relief to American
cattle growers by opening up the markets
abroad, and according to statements of one
of the largest dealers in Chicago, success has
already been attained, while much greater
widening of the foreign outlet Is now close
at hand. The Canadian purchases, it ap-
pears, are simply in the nature of Dreliml-
nary tactics to secure the unrestricted entry of
American cattle into Great Britain. Cana
dian cattle, though inferior to the American
product, are legally unfettered by British
enactments, and the Americans who have
just bought some immense Canadian herds
propose to utilize the Canadian animal and
familiarize the people of rural England,
Scotland and Wales with the beef from this
side the Atlantic. This Canadian venture is
to result in a loss to the Americans inter-
ested, and they are confidently counting or
recouping themselves when, under the plans
laid down by Secretary Rusk, the American
DeeNes are freely introduced anu slaughtered
at will throughout Great Britain. At present
American live stock can only be handled or
killed at three ports, and that, too, under
harrassing restrictions. That the Rusk plan
will accomplish its purpose in Queen Victo-
ria's populous domain, the results already
reached through him in France, Germany
and the Netherlands leave no doubt, to say
nothing of the fact that the essential features
of the plan have just now been formally en-
bodied IN the United States statutes as to the
federal meat inspection law. Months ago,
it is learned, Secretary Rusk put to work on
an experimental scale, exactly the inspection
provided in the bill. His agents inspected
certain shipments and certified the animals
to be sound as an American dollar. Against
this certificate the authorities at Paris, Ant
werp and Hamburg have been unable to
maintain the time honored pretensc that
the cattle, being American, were, as matter
of course, diseased. Beginning December 2,
six different shipments have been landed up
to date at Hamburg, aggregatlng l ,307 head.
The shipments to Paris, thirteen IN numb Der,
commenced arriving August 1, and now have
reached total of 1851 head. At Antwerp
the shipments began still further back, May
5, and that port had received thirteen con-
signments, altogether 4, 233. Great Britain
is now the market stronghold toward the
capture of which is being bent all the surplus
energy of American cattle growers, led by
Secretary Rusk.

weekly review of trade says:
There is found in almost all quarters :
feeling OF confidence and hopefulness as tc
the future. Though the present effect OF
short crops Is felt in the northwest, the pros.
pect for the coming season is exceptionally
bright, and while in some of the chief manu-.
features operations are checked by uncer-
tainty regarding prices, it may be expected
that the relations between materials and I'm
ished products will be soon adjusted to the
new conditions.
Sales of wool at Boston, New York and
Philadelphia this year, so far show an in
crease over last year of 20 per cent. and still
continue large
The dress goods makers have closed the
most prosperous season known, and hope for
better prices presently. In knit goods some
complain that they are carrying too large
stocks and that margins for profit are close,
out great many orders are still received.
The expansion and diversifcation of the
manufacturers leaves for foreign supply only
the inner grades of worsted that are not made
here, and even in mems woolens there is
some improvement, though the demand
looks to style rather than quality.
The boot and shoe business is retarded by
specializing In hides and leather, as prices of
goods are no higher than year ago; but
Wnlie buyers are cautious they are numerous,
yet the shops are fairly supplied with orders.
The iron trade shows no change, buyers
believing that as soon as the demand for
consumption increases again no strikes or
shutdowns will restrict production. The
general average of all prices is still advanc-
ing and have risen half of per cent. tor the
past week.
Trade in the east is not very brisk. At
cities west of the Mississippi trade is fair for
the season.
The money markets are easier at most of
the interior cities, including Chicago and
Boston. At New York rates have been
changed but little-211l to 8 per cent. on call,
but there is some difficulty in obtaining com-
mercial loans. The treasury has put out
81 SOC, 900 more money than it has taken in
during the week, besides issuing 81, OOO, 900
more silver notes.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days were
275 as compared with 273 last week.

stories of Goulds stock manipulations,
which have resulted IN giving the railroad
king controlling interest, was unfounded

indicate that there is a well developed plan
to place George Gould at the head of the

General Joseph E. Johnston Dead.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 24.-General
Joseph E. Johnston died at his residence on
Connecticut avenue. The general has been
suffering for the past three weeks with an
affection of the heart, aggravated by cold
he caught soon after General Sherman's
funeral in New York. His physician has
been trying to keep mis- strength up for some
days, but mis- advanced age has given little
hope of his recovery from the beginning OF
his illness. General Johnston was the last,
save General Beaureguard, of the six full
generals of the confederacy.
