The Grand Jury of Rockland County has not
wasted much time in disposing of the case OF
Assemblyman Demarest, whose embezzlement
and forgery were confessed by himself several
weeks ago. An indictment against him was
found on Thursday. In spite of his confession
he has continued to hold his place and perform
his duties as a member of the Assembly, ana
we do not suppose that the fact of his ndict-
ment will make his party associates think HIM
any less worthy of their comradeship and con-
Gdence. If he is convicted, even, they Will
probably insist that he is more sinned against
than shining.
Yesterdays proceedings in the Senate render
the prospects of passing Copyright law at this

the adoption of tie Frye amendment: Inc

ciple of the bill, and would imperil Its enact
ment even if the shortness of time did not make
action upon IT by the House practically lmpos-
sible. The Senate has sadly disappointed pup
lie expectation on this question. The House
was considered the weak point, and when the
bill went safely through that body its compete
enactment was looked upon as assured.

NEW STOCK-YARDS.
What Armour, the Chicago POrk-PaCker, Says
Of Them.


CARLSBAD, June lip. d. Armour of
Chicago. who is here with his invalid wife,
said to-day that he had just received long
dispatch from Chicago stating that ground
has been broken at Tolleston, Indiana, for
the new stOck-yards. He said they pro-
posed to establish packing houses there,
where they will not be so cramped for room
as at the old yards, which he says are alto
gether out of place in such close proximity
to the best part of Chicago They propose
to issue $40, 600 of stock, which they will
divide among the packers and dealers who
follow them. An Associated PTsss corre-
spondent asked If the packers will follow,
and desert the old yards. They cannot
help themselves" said Mr.. Armour. 1--WE
three-ArmOur, Morris and Swift-practic-
ally control the business. The others must
follow. Besides. it Is to their own Advantage.
The old yards charges are so high
1t scarcely pays to do business
there. We shall give accommodations at
more moderate rates. You see. the Old
yards, which originally cost about 81 ,000,-
900. were sold several months ago to an En-
Ors want to get interest on this immense
sum, consequently high charges are neces-
sary."
'But what will become of these mill
ions when you and all the other great
houses move away?" said the correspond
ent.
Il am not worrying about the English in
vestOrs," said Mr.. Armour. Il feel sorry
for them, but | must look out for my own
interests and the interest of the community
first" Mr.. Armour said there are also
sanitary reasons why the change should be
made. In the new quarters they will have
the most perfect arrangements for the
proper examination and packing of pork,
and he thinks as soon as Germany is con-
vlnced of the proper safeguards taken it
will allow the importation of American

AMERICAN VINES.
French Vineyards Restored With Resistant
Stock.

PARIS, June 1.-THE tariff debates in
the Chambers brought to the fore again the
question of the phylOxera and American
vines. which, it is again admitted. are an
important agent for the restitution of vine
yards. The Associated Press correspondent
having asked the opinions of eminent
specialists concerning the condition of the
vine-gr0wing regions, received numerous
replies, all of which confirm this statement
Pasteur says: Il have often heard our
wine-gro vers praise American vines"
Senator MeinadieT says: MY department
Gard, was the first invaded by the phyllOx-
era. We had 92,000 hectares of VINEYARDS.
of which only One-eighth escaped. To-day
we have about 1000 hectares treated by sub
merSlOn, about 1000 by insecticides, and
nearly 10000 planted With American vines"
Dr. Menudier. Vice President of one of
the Departmental Phylloxera Committees,
says: since 1889 the territory in the de-
partment of Lower CEarente covered with
American neS has nearly doubled"
In the departments of which Marseiles is
the capital the region Is planted with Amer
lean vines equally with that planted with
French vines The Professor Of Agric ulture
at Clermout Puy d. Dome, writes: French
vines grated on American vines are as good
II not better, than the ungrafted French
species
Tue report from the famous burgundy
vineyards IS most encouraging, and shows
the day IS rapidly approaching when that
region Will stand where it did before the
phylioxeTa invasion. Similar reports are
received from other great wine districts,
and it is now the generally accepted opinion
that within ten years the vintage of France

GRAIN DUTIES.
In attack on the P3ICy Of the German
Government.

BERLIN, June 11.-In the Lower House Of
the Diet to-day Herr Rickert made mo-
tion 10 the effect that the Government should
submit to the House the statistics and re-
ports upon which Chancellor Won CapriYi
based his recent speech upon the grain du-
ties. The Chancellor opposed this motion,
declaring that inquiries have been in prog
ress since April but, he added, they were
confined to official quarters, IN order to avoid
creating any excitement. The Government
he continued, IS convinced that there is no
distress existing from the duties now levied
on grain, but in consequence Of the agitation
which has been aroused in regard 10 this
matter the Government had since consulted
a number Of private parties, and naturally
could net submit these reports to the House.
He (the Chancellor was not IN a position to
mention the names Of the persons who have
been consulted.
Herr RIckert made 4 most sensational
speech, during which he said it would be
found necessary to recall the man who
alone IS able to direct the Government" He
charged the Government with endeavOTing
to silence those VINO were defending the in
teTeSts OF millions against minority. The
same speaker also said he discredited the
Government report abOut grain. The avail
able stO ks, he said were small and prices
would advance. Potatoes, he continued,
had already replaced bread as the food OF
tile people and has advanced to exorbitant
prices. His party would not rest until the
duties on grain were abolished.
Baron Ertfa- Weinberg insisted that the
agriculturists could not dispense with du-
ties. He denied that distress existed at all,
and called upon the FreiSinnige party to
cease its demag ogca proceedings"

BERLIN, June 11.-An Associated Press
correspondent to-day had a conversation
with Herr Goldberger, well-known Jewish
tinancier, who was recently expelled from
Russia. He went from this city in the in
tereSt Of the banking house with which he
IS connected having been furnished with
special consular pass by the Russian Consul
General here. At st. Petersburg NJ. Wish
negradsky the Russian Minister of Finance,
and other persons of high standing. showed
the Berlin banker special attention, but
this did not prevent the police of ST. Peters
burg from inscribing upon his pass the words
"the Jew GOldberger is here ON federation
and under police supervision" Herr Gold
berger does not understand Russian and
thought ii was some regular police annota-
tlon. He learned differently when he
reached Moscow. The police called upon
him and told him he must leave at once.
The hotel manager told him few rubles
would fix it all right, but Goldberger de-
cllned 10 pay blackmall and left at once.
He did not care to establish bank in a
country where each policeman had the

Herr GOdberger described some OF the
awful scenes of expulsion which he had
witnessed at Moscow during his two days
stay. Social standing and high position. he
said. were of no avail. None of the accounts
so far as published tells the whole story of
the misery, and the persecution is simply
indescrlbable. Contrary to the accepted
version, GOldberger says the Car is well
aware of the cruelties practiced; that he
has always been a radical anti-Semite, and
that his hatred Of the Jews has increased
since the memorable railway accident
which happened upon the line built by
jew, Won Poieskoff. Goldberger thinks
that Russia will not only suffer from com
mercial disasters, sure to follow the expul-
Sion OF the Jews-disasterS which Russia
with her great resources might meet with
impunity-but that these measures have
brought about a feeling of insecurity,
among the Russian PrOtestants and
among the numerous foreigners residing
in Russia, to whose enterprise most
Of the commercial undertakings owe their
existence. and nobody knows whose turn
is TO come next and no one cares to'risk

lutte bankruptcy.

TIN-PLATE TRADE.
English Manufacturers Rushing The Product

LONDON. June 1.-THE tin plate industry
in England is in state OF feverish activity
over the approach of July 1st, the date on
which the duties on the Importation Of this
commodity into the United States under the
provisions Of the new tariff law 60 into
effect Shipments from Swansea, Bristol
and Liverpool for the United States have
never before been so extensive as during the
past fortnight and they have been further
accelerated this week. Some cargoes aggre-
gated over 5000 tons of the metal, and one
cargo was more than 1900 tons.
The stock of tin plate in England has be-
come much reduced and is expected 10 be
well nigh exhausted in another week. The
exports for the current year to the United
States up 10 May 31St are valued at 93, ,947,-

IN 1890, and about 92.600.000 in 1889. The
resolutions passed by the tin-plate manu-
fac.urers of Wales to close their works after
July 1st will certainly be carried out, not
withstandng that contracts for delivery
during July and August were taken last

The procession, which was long and i'm

of people, who had gathered to do honor to
the late Premier.
During the day 10000 persons in double

funeral procession was the grandeSt ever
seen in Kingston. 1t was over two miles
long and occupied over forty minutes in

SIR JOHNS SUCCESSOR.
OTTAWA, June I1.-There is hardly any
doubt now that neither Sir John Thompson
nor Sir Hector Langevjn will be the next
Premier of Canada. Sir Hector might have
been formally asked to construct a new Cab

fuse, the private reason being his cOnnec-
ton with the Quebec and Kingston con-
tract scandals, the public-reason being failing
health. The opposition of the Protestants

him. 1t is believed that j. j G. Abbott,

CROW LANDS.
Collaborating on the Indian Reservation
Regulated by Law.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Interior
Department, acting upon the recommends
ti0n of the Indian Office. has adopted new
departure in the management of cattle
grazing upon the Crow Indian Reservation
in Montana. The Crow Indians were
authorized by an act of Congress of April
II, 1882, to permit cattle-grazing upon their
reservation. But under the previous ar
rangements much friction between cattle
men resulted from indiscriminate paSturage
on the portions of the reservation set apart
for grazing. This had proved fruitful
source of trouble and annoyance, not only
to the agency management, but to the de-
partment and Indian Bureau officials. To
ObViate these difficulties in the future, aud
TO give the Indians the benefit of the adyan-
tageS resulting from competition between
cattlemen for these grazing privileges, the
total unOccupied portion of the reserva-
ii on has been divided into five grazing dis
trictS, and proposals for grazing on the
same invited by advertisement.
The proposals received were opened at
the Crow Agency. The permit-agreements
covering each of said districts, are executed
by Agent Nyman, with the highest bidder,
and the permits are To be In force for
period of three years from July l, 1891.
These agreements are now before the de-
new arrangement will relieve the depart
ment of much annoyance aud trouble, and
be decidedly better for the Indians and for
the cattlemen. 1t brings the MANAGEMENT
of the whole business under the direct con-
troll Of the department, and by the terms OF
the agreement executed with the cattlemen
the stock will be removed from the reserva-
ton at any time by the department for any
violation of the stipulations of the same.
The improved holdings and herds of the
a.. l. N IL
of the cattlemen, and the grazing ranges
occupied by cattle belonging to the Indians
are to be kept undiSturbed. The pecuniary
advantage to the Indians is also consider
able, as they receive about $1,000 more un-
der this new arrangement than under the
old system, notwithstanding the fact that
the title To an area OF about 100000 acres
upon the western portion Of the reservation
has been relinquished to the Government.

NEW York, June 12.-The Times says:
Four months ago the New York Life Insur-
ance Company Issued printed statement
toits Spanish American policy holders signe
by the Director-General Of that department,
Joaquin Sanchez, stating that Julio Merz-
bacher, the company's Spanish American
agent, had retired from his business be-
csuse of ill-health. simultaneously
MerZb acher disappeared from the
c0mpany's Office and from his apartments,
and his whereabouts since that time has
been unknown. Yesterday the Times
learned that Merzbacher had defaulted for
large amount variously stated at
from $500. 600 to Sj00,000 First Vice. Presi-
dent Henry Tuck and Second Vice Presi-
dent A. H. Welch admitted after consulta-
tion, that default had taken place, but they
decline to state what the amount of the loss
was, saying that they did not know Both
the officers firmly insisted that the company
would ultimately retrieve its losses. and
that it would in no sense sui
fer from MerZbacher's operations or
the sudden departure of Merzbacher. The
Spanlsh-Amerlcan Department handled all
the business of the company in Mexico and
