PRICES OF FARM PROPERTY.

Eject Of the Present Tariff Law Upon Agri-
culture. According to MT. Hatch.
Representative Hatch. from the committee on
agriculture, has submitted to the House a
report prepared by the committee on the effect
Of the present tariff law upon agriculture. The
report says that careful comparison shows that
thare has been q steady decline in the prices OF
farm property and products Under the several
tariffs in force since the war, while for q cor
responding period and under the same laws
other interests have been more prosperous and
remunerative. The report insists that under
the low tariff of 1876 agriculture enjoyed its
greatest prosperity, and holds that the more
restrictive and prohibitive the trade with other
countries has been the worse has agriculture
Jared The result Of the prohibitive tariff
has been to prejudice European nations (our
best buyers) against the United States, and
in the retaliation which followed agriculture
was dealt an irreparable injury. The American
farmer is now compelled to sell his products in
direct competition with the psuper and slave
labor Of Asia and Africa. labor which manages
to subsist on wages averaging less than % per
month. The report presents statistics showing
the decrease in the values OF farm lands.

THE McGARRAHAN VETO.
Why the President Did Not Approve tn
Bill.

Why the President Did Not Approve tho
Bill.
The President in his message accompanying
the veto Of the McGarrahan bill says:
ut is quite possible that he has been wronged
and that he has Q claim for some reparation
from the government. I cannot, however,
think that this bill proceeds on Just basis. ~
The President then refers briefly to the pro-
visions Of the act and says II the claim Is es-
tablished it is provided in substance that all
lands, part Of said grant, which have been con-
veyed by the government or are in the occu-
pancy of actual settlers, or upon which there
are any smelling or reducing works. or the
lands claimed in connection with such reduc-
ton or smelling works" shall be excepted from
the patent which the Secretary Of the Interior
Is directed to issue to McGarrahan By this
provision the title of the New Idria Mining
Company, which has long contested with Nc
Garrahan the title to large part Of this prop
srty, is established and that company is relieved
from any responsibility to account for the
profits made in mining. On the other hand the
United States valves oil benefit Of Judicial pro-
ceedlngs which have resulted in its favor and
gives Mr.. McGarrahan an opportunity de novo
to try all such questions, and the decision. if in
lands yet undisposed of, but the United States
assumes to pay him the value Of the lands ap-
propriated by others and for their use for all
these years, and to account to him for all profits
that have been made by the New Idria Mining
Company or any one else in quicksilver or other
mining. The President says:
This seems to be wholly inadmissible. The
amount involved must be enormously large,
though at present incapable Of any accurate
estimate. II the title of the New Idria Company
has been established by final DEGREES Of court,
placing that title beyond question and that
company beyond any call to respond for use
and profits, why should the government Of the
United States, waving in It's behalf these
DEGREES which would protect it. also assume a
responsibility to account for the value of the
lands and for their use and for the net value Of
minerals extracted by that company or others?
1t will be noticed in the quotation have made
from the act that this company is allowed to
take all the land it may claim, but at the
expense Of the United States, not Of Mr.
McGarrahan.
"The bill is SO framed as to give full pro-
lection to the New Idria Mining Company to the
full extent of its largest claim, while throwing
upon the United States q responsibility which
that company should bear if the title Of Mr.
McGarrahan is established"

The Famous whalcback Has Been furne

Since the Wetmore's last trip she has been up
to the Pacific Steel Barge Works on the shoho-
mish river, and alterations have been made on
her at cost OF about s25. 900. She was laid
up at the works for two and one-half months.
The most noticeable change In the wetmo-e
is, Of course, the five masts that have been put
in her or rather on her, for they are stepped on
the deck. Around the base Of each mast 10

MIR. Watson was present, but stated that he had

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Tho loss Of two lives at Delaware avenue and
II street crossing Of Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road calls attention again to the constant
danger to which citizens are exposed in cross
ing these tracks. Is it not possible for us to
have union depot and have these railro Dads
enter the city either by using the same or
parallel tracks? Why can we not be relieved
of steam railroad in the northern section Of
the city BY having the Baltimore and Ohio
road enter the city along the Eastern branch!
Such a course would at least reduce the danger
TO human life BY one-half since it would leave
US practically but one road within the city
limits. Now the northern portion Of WASH
ington is completely divided by this road.
Would it not serve all our best interests to
have these roads united SO far az entering the
city is concerned? And why was the plan for
having the Baltimore ard Ohio road take q
course around the Congressional cemetery and
along the Eastern branch parallel to the Balti-
more and Potomac road abandoned? G. B. G.

Confidential reports from st. Petersburg say
that the Russian government is convinced tina,
the recent so-called cholera riots were due to
nihilists. There are abundant proffers of activ-
ity on the part Of the nihilists, who have seized
the outbreak of cholera as pretext to excite
the empire. The poor are melted not only
against the medical authorities, but also agains,
the well-to-do classes Threatening letters
have been scattered broadcast and citizens in
many towns are afraid to ask for police protec-
ton. Revolutionary agents assure the poorer
Glasses that they will be killed in the cholera

Justice John B. Floid Of Annapolis has sent
to Gov. Brown the following statement respect
ing the arrest at Bay Ridge Of Mr.. Albert
Georg. the att.ehe Of the Swiss legation, which
has called out an indignant protest from the
Swiss minister:
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, July %, 1897
To His E1cellency Frank Brown, Governor:
In obedience to your request make the fol-
lowing statement: About O'Clock ON the
evening Of July n, 1892, Deputy Sheriff James
E. Lowman came to my ONCE In Annapolis.
Accompanying him were q lady and two:gentle-
men. swore the lady. She gave me her name
as Mrs. ". D. Borde Of Baltimore city, state Of
Maryland. She said she was at the dairy lunch
counter at Bay Ridge. She went there to get
glass Of soda and laid on the show case her fan
and pocket book. After drinking her soda went
to pick up her fan and the pocket book was
gone.
She stated that the accused was the only per-
son anywhere near her; that he was resting his
arm on the show case close to her fan and
pocket book, and she swore most positively that
the accused had taken her pocket book and oon-
tents, which were four notes-three Of the
denomination Of two dollars, one Of the dsnom-
nation Of one dollar, one piece Of United States
gold coin Of the denomination Of ono dollar,
and several pieces Of silver coin Of smaller de-
nominations, dimes and quarters, all Of tho
currency Of the United States. I asked him
his name, and he refused to give It; but after
ward he asked for piece Of paper and pencil,
which furnished him, and he wrote the name
hereto attached. GName-Albert Georg.]
Deputy Sheriff Williams was In my Office,
and requested him to search the accused, to
which no objection was made in my hearing.
The deputy sheriff proceeded with the search
Finding nothing on the gentleman's person to
connect him in any way with the larceny of
the pocket book and contents / discharged him.
After being discharged, he said: Il am not
satisfied. l want this lady's address," which
furnished him. The accused never made any
claim of exemption from arrest by reason Of
being attached to any foreign legation. or for
any other reason; nor did l have the slightest
information from any source Of his being at
tached to any legation until some time after
had dismissed the case against him.
After 1 had dismissed the case Deputy Sher-
if Williams informed me that when he COM
menced the search Mr.. Georg said: ~ protest"
but from my position in the Office 1 failed to
hear it.
The justice failed to take the prosecuting wit
ness street and number, because, az he dis
missed the case, he had no further use for the
witness. He said he considered 1t simple
case merely, and had no idea there was anything
else in it.
