PRODUCTIVE FARM LANDS.
How the Farmers OF Washington Are
Growing Rich.

DR.. G. V. Calhoun, of La Conner, while in
the city attending meetings of the executive
committee of the Washington Worlds fair COM
mission and of the executive committee
of the State Board of Trade, told
of man near La Conner, Mr..
Tillingherst, who bought five acres of land
from him at $500 an acre. "That man." said the
doctor, sis now supporting his family and,
dare say clearing 5000 a year besides He
raises seeds for some of the big firms of seed
dealers in the East, and of course he gets excel
lent pay for what he sends there, because all his
seeds are of the best quality"
DR.. Calhoun also says that the best caulifiower
seed grown in America is grown on Fidalgo
island. There 1t ripens out of doors-a thing
which is unusual in this latitude.

Officials Puzzled.

Richard Trumbull, the sender of the dis
patch from New York to Jules NJ. Foster
at Washington, is one of the congressional
agents who is now under indictment for
violation of the neutrality laws in cOnnec-
tiOn with the equipment of the ltata. His
dispatch gave great comfort 10 the con-
greSsional partisans here. and Foster did
not attempt to conceal his satisfaction.
The absence of official information at the
department has puzzled the officials. Ger
tainly if decisive engagement has taken
place it was to be expected that Minister
Egan or Admiral Brown would promptly
report the fact, if communication were
open.
Admiral Brown is at Valparaiso and Min
lister Egan at Santiago. through which
place cabtegramS from Valparaiso must
pass to reach Europe and the United States
or run the risk OF falling into the hands OF
the insurgents on the Pacific coast. The
only theory advanced which IS plausible
enough to find acceptance IS that the tele-
graph lines being under military control
will not transmit cipher dispatches. such as
would be sent by our government reprtSeu-
tatives. II is not presumed, however, that
if the Bamaceda forces had achieved 4 sig
nal uictory they would attempt to prevent
confirmation of the news of the event from
reaching this country. The official Judge
ment here Is that no decisive combat had
taken place up to yesterday.
An hour after the dispatch from Trum-
bul came to hand the following dispatch
from Wei, confidential agent of the insur-
gent party at Lima, Peru, dated to-day and
addressed to Pedro Montt, principal con
gressional envoy III this city. was received
at the headquarters OF the party here:

Fighting About Rye.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug 2S.-The details of
the riOting at Viteback, Occasioned by the
peoples protest against the expectation of
rye, show that the disturbance was of a
serious nature. The governor reports that
there was evidence that a general revolt of
the peasantry had been planned. The peas
ants attacked the railroad officials, claiming
that no more rye should leave Nitebacll
and severely beat the Jewish grain dealers.
who are blamed for the whole trouble. The
peasantry also plundered the residences of
these grain dealers, and finally combined
in an attack upon the railroad station.
Railroad officials sent for the assistance of
the military, and the rioters resisted stub
bOrnly and their supporters outside the
railroad station made a fierce attack upon
the soldiery, severely iniuring many of them.
Finally the officers in command of the
troops after repeatedly threatening the
crowds gave the order to fire upon the riot
ers. The soldiers then fired vOlley kill
ing two peasants and wounding number of
others. This seemed to diShealten the
rioters for they soon afterwards dispersed.
Other and somewhat similar disturbances
are reported from Dunaberg, Vinto and
other places but no details have yet been
made public.

had and if he had done so he would have
enjoyed perfect immunity from criticism.
1t was no affair of his if, that bank
saw fit to give somebody 3 pei
cent of the average monthly deposits
for his influence in procuring the order. Ii
it could be shown that the judge got any
part of that commission, then would he be
liable to the severe criticism made, and a
fit subject for an impeachment trial.
This one conclusion" singled out from
several others contained in the minority re
port, is cited merely to show the animus
that dictated the report, and the evidenl
purpose to give the judge as black an eye
as possible.
Senator GarwOod was in close sympathy
with the men who We're known to be instru
mental in procuring the investigation. ana
while it was evident to the entire reading
public, when George Clark abandoned the
investigation at Galveston, that it had viz
tually collapsed, he disagrees with the
other four members of the committee, and
does what he can TO let the prosecution
down as easy as possible. His motives are
of course all right, and nobody thinks for d
mOmentsof questioning them.
There is one question that the majority
and minority report both ought to put tc
rest for good and ala question that more
than anything else, has worried the anti
HOgg press-and that is, 'why did Hog
intervene!'
The question was put in a Pickwickial
sense, and so as to suggest the answer tina
he did so to continue the receivership and
help his Tyler friends. Senator GarwoOd' 5
minority report contains this language con-
corning the intervention suit:
u concur with the majority of the COM
mittee in the opinion that the appeal of the
attorney general in the bond cases could
not have had the effect to protract the re
ceivership.;
So the answer to the inquiry, "Why did
Hogg intervene2" is clearly different one
from that intended by those who have asked
it so often. II they viii look into the cast
md for once get an inllling Of its true in
warducss. they viii learn why he inter
vened, and why he served an injunction
previously on the Missouri, Kansas an,
Texas railway TO prevent its assuming
control of the international

A CLOUD BURST.
MOUNTAIN STREAMS BECOME
RAGING TORRENTS.
They Leave Destruction in Their Path.
Several Persons Drowned-Bad
Observation-Disclosures Gone.
A Destructive ClouG-Burst.

Troy, n. Y. Aug. 2S.-The whole eastern
part of Rensselaer, county was deluged by a
cloud-burst last evening which made raging
torrents of mountain streams and caused
them to leave destruction in their path.
Glass lake and Sand lake overlooked and
sent a torrent through the valley of Wyan-
dana. Three dams were washed out at
Sand lake and damage of 100000 was
done. Several houses were washed away
at Swarts' paper mill in this city; one end
of the mill was torn out, the bridge was
carried away and a damage of $4,000 was
done. Bridges all along the stream were
torn from their fastenings and it is believed
the damage will surely reach S500,0 900. In
the valley the storm was equally extensive
and at Berlin houses were washed away
and two persons drowned. Travel on the
Lebanon Springs railroad was completely
INTERRUPTED by washout, and it is feared
it can not be repaired within week. The
Hudson and Hoosack rivers are very high,
and in the vicinity of Hoosack Falls many
bridges were washed away and railroads
ruined by the overflow Of mountain
streams.

A Grand Financial and Social Sue
cess-The Programme.
Special TO the Gazette.

SULPHUR SPRINGS, HOPKINS COUNTY,
TEX, Aug. 2S.-Last night was one long to
be remembered by the people of our town,
it being the date of the first entertainment
given by the Willie Devall club of East
Texas. All of yesterdays trains brought
visitors from the neighboring towns, and
last night an excursion from Greenyllle
came in with the Fifth regiment band and
the King Zouaves, followed by 200 ladies
and gentlemen from that city. Promptly
at 9 O'Clock the Fifth regiment opened the
entertainment with beautiful piece of
music, which was followed by one from the
Impe rial band of this city.
Professor DinSmore'S name was the first
on the programme, but, being absent from
the city, his place was filled by DR.. Becton,
who said a few well-choSen words i'll behalf
of the young lady in whose honor the benefit
was given. He expressed III behalf of the
multitude of friends present. the sincere
thanks to THE GAZETTE for the many IA
vOrs shown i'll the late contest. In conclu-
sion he assured THE GAZETTE and the young
lady's friends that Miss Willie while in
Hardin college would prove an honor to
our town and state, and more especially to
The GAZETTE. The regular programme
was then taken up, Mayor w. F.. Hender-
son acting as master of ceremonies:
Vocal solo-Miss Zadia Harrison, Green
vile.

was encored. After the entertainment was
over the young people repaired to the Wal
Ter hall and tripped the fantastic until a
late hour. The affair was grand financial
as well as social success

The railroad freight agents arrived here
Wednesday from Galveston, where they
uad been in session adjusting a division of
atoS under the new tariffs issued by the
commission. Their object in coming here
VAS to be near the commission for conSulta-
ion about interpretations of the latter's
rulings in doubtful cases. The law pro
Iides that the railroads shall agree among
themselves about the division of rates, ana
where they cannot agree it becomes the
iuty of the commission 10 settle the differ
noes. As far as known the traffic men are
not showing any signs of being badly hurt
ny the tariffs promulgated, and are not as
surfing anybody that their roads and prop
erty win be bankrupted or peddled out al
ISSignee'S or receivers sales for junk or old
IRON. Mr.. Groseclose of the Cotton Belt
told the writer that his road would lose.
under the cotton tariff, $l09, 600, and Mr.
Polk of the Arkansas Pass said that his road,
would be out 100000. Mr.. Masters placed
The estimated loss of the Santa E'e at
figure equally high. But none of them APP
pear 10 feel the alleged loss greatly or are
making any cutlery about it. There is not
very much room for complaint about rate
on cotton of about s. Il bale from Austin to
Galveston, when the roads are said to haul
cotton from St. Louis to New York for 81 a
bale.
