AGRICULTURAL APPROPRIATIONS.
The Bill rs Completed by the HOUSE
Committee.

Committee.
The agricultural appropriation bill, as COM
ple.ed by the House committee. carries APP
preparation OF sS,ls9. 500. a reduction OF
SSS. SEQ as compared with the bill for the cur
rent fiscal year, and is Sl25. 700 below the esti-
mates. The principal change is the reduction
of Sl00,00 in the appropriation for the work
Of the bureau of animal industry, but under
changed conditions it is not believed that the
decrease will seriously affect the operations of
the bureau.
There is intended to be proposed an amend
ment providing that the packers OF the country
be assessed small fee for the inspection 81
their meat. This expense has been heretofore
borne by the government, though the packers
receive the benefits of the inspection and are
enabled TO secure about sL50per head more for
the cattle having the official approval OF the de-
pGrtment than for uninspected cattle.
The cost OF stamping out pleCro-pneumonia
last year about $4,000. The amount
saved on this account and the probable assess
ment OF a small fee from packers having their
meat inspected, it is believed, will Offset the re-
duction made by the House committee.
The weather bureau receives an appropria-
ton of s950,OoO, an increase OF nearly $50 900
over last year. This will be expended in the
dissemination of the forecasts and other special
information by telegraph and otherwise 20
IN OlstSnl ana remote LOCALITIES thot
have hitherto not enjoyed the predictions Of the
signal service.
The bill also provides that $4,000 shall be
expended in the introduction of American food
products abroad. Mr.. Murphy. the special
agent who has been introducing corn products
into Germany, will visit Sweden and Norway
and Denmark and other European countries
and recommend Indian corn to the people Of
those countries. There is no provision In the
BIZ for any more rain making experiments

tons of Sayles and Yeatman.
The fact that Sayles and Yeatman, alleged
members of the gang of safe blowers, have
given testimony against Banks, Foulke and Nc
earthly, published in yesterdays STAR, may
gain them immunity SO far as this jurisdic-
ton is concerned. but they may be indicted
in Maryland and taken there for trial when the
trials of their companions are finished.
Detectives from Philadelphia and Baltimore
came here yesterday and saw tie prisoners, but
were unable to identify any of them. Rev.
Father Rosentelle of Rockville, who was robbed
by members OF the gang, also called at head
quarters. as did Prosecuting Attorney Peters of
Montgomery county. A pair of shoes well as
the overcoat found at the house of Mrs. Lackey
were identified by Father Rosentelle as his
property.
A Maryland officer said that if there was any
likelihood Of the escape of the prisoners be
would guarantee ten years sentence in Mary
land for some of them.
AS published in yesterdays STAE witnesses
went before the grand jury yesterday and told
OF the extensive operations of the gang, which
was a startling revelation and a complete sur
prise both to the prosecuting officer and the
members Of the grand jury.
