That Doard OF General Appraisers In Canal
street ia very much disturbed over the Wilson
Tariff bill. The Board consists Of nine mem-
bers. and every member has been in the Fed
eral service In one capacity or another for an
average lifetime.
The Board was the result Of Republican
legislation in Washington Immediately after
the advent OF President Harrison. and the
nine members OF 1t have about the pleasantest
berths one could imagine. The salary OF each
member is $500 year. and when they were
appointed they told their friends that It was q
lifetime Job.
The members Of the Board are: George G.
Tichenor OF the District of Colum bia. Charles
Fl. Ham OF Illinois. George II. Sharpe Of Now
York. Fred n. Shurtleff Of Oregon. and W. T.
Lunt OF Maine, and four Democrats, VIZ. J. A.
Jewell of New York. Joseph 7. Wilkinson, Jr
Of Louisiana. George II. Sharrett OF Maryland.
Col Tichenor Is President OF the Board and
he and his associates have discovered that the
Wilson bill legislates them out OF office.
From the advent Of the Cleveland Admlnls-
tration many New York Democrats have been
studyin methods to get rid Of this Board on
the ground that Its powers were altogether
too exalted and arbitrary.
But only yesterday did the members OF the
Board discover that the Wilson Tariff bill II
passed. would wipe them out ofiexistence, and
there was the greatest scurrying around you
ever saw. The Washington authorities will be
bombarded with arguments asking that the
bill be modified.

WOES OF BRITISH FARMERS.
Landlord. Deprived OF Rents and Tenants
1oiiinx without Front.


LONDON. Dec. IAN Agricultural Congress
opened in St Jamess Hall to-day. Tho Earl
OF Winchelsea presided. He said that resolu-
tions would be submitted embodying sugRes-
tons received from aGriculturists all over the
world since the last congress was held.
He was unable to congratulate the congress
upon any improvement In the agricultural
situation. Landlords were losing their rents
and tenants were being deprived OF their
prufita Thousands OF laborers were without
WORK, and the towns were suffering from On
Influx OF pauper lHborers. The question was
rapidly assuming ths proportions OF q national
disaster. The nation was becoming more and
more dependent upon food brought from for
eign countries. The consensus OF expert opin-
ion was that the navy was Inadequate to pro-
tect the food supply in the event OF war.
One cause OF the distress WAS the fall In
prices due to foreign competition. England.
the Earl declared was the only country in tho
a public enemy. and was taxed. rated, and de-
frauded out Of existence. 1t was necessary for
the producers to combine and ask. not for pro-
lection. but for fair play. The mem bers OF the
union now numbered IL 600. The Earl moved
that all interested in land should support the
Union This was unanimously adopted,
Sir Richard Pagct. member OF Par Lament.
moved the adoption OF a resolution declaring
that an excessive share OF the public burdens
were borne by farm lands compared with other
sources Of income. This was an injustice to
the producer and demanded tho i'm mediate
attention OF Parliament Carried.

Of the beach from Fiftieth street as far east

with the residents OF the Gulf side roads.
Property to the amount OF S1Oo.O 900 has all

tributed to the extension Of the south jetty far

Rineors. which has diverted the coast current

LONDON. Dec. 7.-As tho time OF the expirs-
tion OF the transatlantic mail contracts ap-
proaches. discussion arises as to how the new
contracts will be awarded. The Pal Mall Ga
zette to-day says the host transatlan passag
are made from Queenstown. The outward
passages are ten hours and ffty-three min
utes shorter than from Southampton. and the
homeward passage sixteen hours and thirty
two min utes better than the eastward passage
to Southampton. Passengers emharkinR at
Queenstown have day longer In London than
those taking passage from southampton. IL
all passengers sailed from Southampt they
would avoid the discomfort OF emharklng at
Liverpool or Queenstown. Where time is not
an object SOUTHAMPTON is preferable.
The GdJeHp thinks Liverpool will retain a
large share OF the, passenger traiiic because Of
its proximity to tho Midands. The steamers
sailing from Liverpool are under the British
flag while those sailing from Southampton
are under foreign flags. II would be- the height
of folly tor England TO give the mail contracts
to Foreigners to help them fight English snip
owners. 1t does not think England will give
the contracts to foreigners who in the event
OF war, would Withdraw their vessels and
leave the country without transatlantic mail
