THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
President Conover VIII Endeavor {,
Secure q Federal AppropriatIon.

PoRr TOWNSEND, Jan. 7.-[Special-Ef-
forts are being made to secure $50, 900
federal appropriation for the state agri-
cultural college to be opened at Pullman
next Wednesday. DR.. Conover, president
of the board of regents, is trying to get
congress to pass bill allowing that much
for the college. He says:
l find that in addition to the SIS, 900 appro-
priation made by congress to aid agricultural
colleges, $4,000 more is allowed for the first
year, and the amount will be increased 81, COO
annually until it shall reach SIS 900. The col
lege at Pullman is sure to become a solid insti-
tuition. The opening ceremonies will not be
elaborate, though the people of Pullman are
quite enthusiastic over the prospects. The state
has suffered enough in litigation, and there will
be considerable difficulty in securing a
federal appropriation for the first half of the
hseal year. The delay in opening the school
has also been loss to the students who were
DESTROYS of beginning their courses earlier in
the winter The regents did their utmost TO
hurry matters and become personally RESPONSE
bic for Il large share OF expenses Attorney Gen
eraI Jones opinion therefore is very satisfactory
to them, and / do not think there will be any
further trouble with the auditor. We shall try
to secure the passage OF bill this congress Civ
ing us $4,000 for the last fiscal year. Wyoming
secured the amount which we might have oh.
tanned If we could have established the college
at once without interference.

JOHN SHERMAN ON POLITICS.
Harrison the Republican Nominee. Prob
ably-Carlisle an Ideal Democrat.

PITTsBuRG, Jan. Hon. John Sherman
was in the city tonight, en- route to Wash
ington City. He said Foraker behaved
well in the senatorial contest. Governor
Mckinley acted wisely in not interfering
in the fight. Concerning the presidential
question, he said Secretary Blaine could
have the nomination if he wanted it, but
he did not think his health would permit
acceptance. The candidate should be
physically able to fill the requirements of
the office. With Blaine out of the way,
he thought Harrison would be the NOM
inee.
Senator Carlisle was the proper man for
the Democratic nomination, as he more
clearly represented Democratic principles.
Palmer was a good man, but too Old.
Regarding national legislation, he said
free silver bin would pass both houses, but
would be vetoed by the president. The
tariff bill would pass the House, bat be de-
feated in the Senate.

Tacom. Charter Revision.

TACOMA, Jan. Especial. Comment
ing upon the work of the city charter re-
vision committee, Mayor Handle says
he favors the continuance of the board of
public works, to consist of the city engi-
neer and street commissioner and another
member to be appointed by the mayor.
He believes the council should confirm
the mayors appointments, but that the
mayor should have the power to remove
such officers for cause. Unless this is
done, he says, the mayors salary should
be reduced to $500 a year, and that his
only duties should be to entertain visitors
aud attend banguets. The mayor, he
holds, should be something more than a
tigure-head, and should be responsible for
his appointments. He considers the char
ter good one, but too expensive for

THE RETALIATION PROCLAMATION
Products of Non-Reciprocating Nations
to Be Dutiable March 15.


WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. I'm view of
the provision of the reciprocity section of
the tariff law making it the duty Of the
president after January 1, 1892, to suspend
by proclamation the free admission of
syrups, molasses, coffee tea and hides
against "such countries producing these
articles as after that date MAINTAIN duties
on American agricultural and other pro-
ducts which he may deem unequal and
unreasonable" the president has sub
mitted to the attorney general the
question whether the law authorizes
him to issue a proclamation fix
ing future day when the duties
imposed by virtue of the proclamation
take effect. The attorney general has
given an opinion that the duties must at
tach and be collected on and after the date
of the proclamation, and a future day
cannot be named by the president.
Owing to this decision, Secretary Blaine
today sent notes to the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of Austria-Hungary, Colombia,
Haiti, Nicaragua, Honduras, Spain, for
the PHILIPPINE islands, and Venezuela, in
forming them that on the 18th of March
the president would issue proclamation,
unless in the meantime some satisfactory
reciprocity arrangements had been
made with the countries named
granting to the agricultural and other pro-
ducts of the United States reciprocally
equal and reasonable duties, a proclama-
ton suspending the provisions of the tariff
law relating to the free introduction into
the United States of sugars, molasses, cof-
fee, tea and hides. The notice to Spain,
however, only applies to the PHILIPPINE
islands. The negotiations with France
and some other countries have reached
such stage as in the opinion Of the presi-
dent to warrent the secretary of state in
Withholding notice to them of the procla-
nation affecting their products.
A Bill introduced in the House by Stew
art of Texas today requests the
president to invite the government
of Mexico to designate three
commissioners to meet like number
designated by the president, to negotiate
reciprocity treaty between the two coun-
tries

Pa1ouse Farmers Tempted by Big Price
Whitman County DRYING Up.

SOuHty DTyIHS
TACOMA, Jan. 7.-[Special. Lake D.
Wolfard, of this city, who is an extensive
owner of wheat lands in the Palouse dis
trict, stated today to correspondent of
the PosT-INTELLIGENCER that he did not
think the Palouse farmers had reserved
enough seed wheat to put in this years
crop. SIN many instances" said he, ''the
high price paid for wheat has tempted the
farmers to sell very close, and while visit
ing the Palouse district a couple of weeks
ago / became satisfied that there is not
enough wheat there to seed near all of
this years acreage. The result viii be
that the farmers will have to pay double
prices for their seed"
Speaking of the Palouse district wheat
crops for the past halt dozen years, Mr..
Wolfard said:
THAT country seems to be gradually
drying up. When I first went there in
1872 large quantities of snow fell each win
ter, and there were snow drifts eight and
ten feet high. Ice formed foot or more
thick, and when the spring thaws came on
there were great floods. At Colfax the
streams tore about, and there were ice
jams and overfiows on all sides. But
for the past five years there has been
nothing OF this sort. Streams which used
to overflow and tear about savagely in the
spring time, scarcely flow at all during the
same season, and dry up completely dur
ing the summer season. When first
knew Colfax it was about in the center OF
the prolific Palouse district, now it is
pretty well along on what during any
thing but q rainy season has come to be
known as the dry belt. at present, at
least for the past five years, there does not
seem to be near so much water In the
country. The old-time volume of water
does not come down from the mountains
and there seems 20 be general drying up.
OF course land well up in the mountains,
where the soil is of deeper, heavier loan,
does not feel this change much, but
farther on down towards the sage-brush
country the change is very perceptible.
For instance, in 1890, remarkably good
season for the land skirting the western
edge of the Palouse district, the town of
Endicott alone shipped over 1.0OO, 600
bushels of wheat. The past season, with
dry, burning weather just when moisture
and mild days were needed for wheat
when in the milk, Endicott did not ship
over 100000 bushels.
Mr.. Walford says mistaken impression
has gone forth regarding the Palouse
country wheat yield for 1891 The yield
he saws. as whole was an average one,
but did not compare with the yield of
1880. The crop promised well when in the
milk, but few hot, scorching days stunted
many fields, especially in the western por-
ton of the district

BUSINESS TROUBLES.

Creditors Object to a Receiver-New
York Cotton Brokers Assign.
CHICAGO, Jan. Judge Blodgett, of the
United States court, was today asked to
remove A. Hegewisch, receiver of the
= United States Rolling Stock Com
pany. 1t is charged that his ap-
pointment is void because of the
lack of jurisdiction in the United
States court to make such an appoint
ment. The receiver is also charged with
favoring stockholders and bondholders,
and acting against the interests of the I'M
secured creditors. The Judge gives the
receiver twenty days to answer.
New YORK, Jan. affairs were de-
moralized in the cotton market this after
noon, the decline at one time being fully
twenty-six points. from which there was
little reaction. At 2:40 notice was received
from Hanskel & Riordan that
they were unable to meet their
liabilities, and almost Immediately the
market came to pause, it being
too late for the trade to fully obtain its
surroundings and the amount in default.
The announcement occasioned general
surprise. They had done large business
and were quite prominent. 1t Is under
stood that they had large line of South
ern buyers who failed to respond to calls
for margins.
BALTIMORE, Jan. Meal & Son, dry
goods merchants, have assigned for the
benefit of their creditors. The firm was
one Of the largest in the dry goods trade
doing business in Baltimore. 1t is esti-
mated that the liabilities will exceed $780,
900, while the assets will fall short of that
sum.
PIrTsBURG, Jan. THE receiver of the
Economical Mutual Benefit Association
of Sandy Lake, appointed last November,
has just issued circular stating that
there is absolutely no hope of div
idend for the surviving members of
the concern after the pending death
and disability claims are satisfied. The
affairs of the association are in decided
tangle. The receiver thus far has failed to
find the books of the association. The
total assets are less than 5000 in actual
value, against $145000 which the receiver
thinks the association should have.

The whatoom County Tide Land..

OLYMPIA, Jan. Z-[Special. The tide
lands commission held a meeting today.
The commission decided that it had no
jurisdiction to approve or disapprove the
report of the Watcom county tide lands
appraisers. The report was filed, but the
only requirement of the statutes is
that the report shall be filed in
the county auditors office, and difference
of opinion has arisen, therefore, as to
whether or not the period of sixty days
given owners of improvements and abut-
ting uplands in which to apply to pur-
chase, begins to run from the time of i'll
ing at the county seat. Land Commissioner
Forrest will tomorrow begin receiving the
applications for the purchase of Whatcom
county lands.
