Appeals are being made to the farmers OF
the northwest to SOW less wheat this year
than they did last. But. like the cot
ton planters Of the south, they appear I'M
willing to take good advice. The farmers
of one county only, in Minnesota, have
consented to sign a pledge to reduce their
acreage. The others will each probably
depend upon somebody else TO cut down the
output, with the result that it will not be
cut down at all.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-04-11

The Office Of superintendent of the gu ar
antine division OF the department OF agri-
culture was intended by its creators to be a
soft snap" for favorites. Secretary Nor
ton says it was not needed by the depart
ment, therefore he decided TO abolish it.
The newspaper talk about the Office having
been abolished in order to get Mr.. Blaines
brother out of job is all nonsense. Sec
rotary Morton did not even know that the
superintendent was Mr.. Blaine's
brother when he arrived at his
decision. But, to come squarely
down to business, what claim to the consid-
GRAFTON of this administration has the
brother OF James G. Blaine more than a
brother of Dink Bolts would have?

POLICE PUZZLED
by the Strange Disappearance Of Photogs
rupher Swnu of Norway. Mes-

by the Strange Disappearance Of Photogs
rupher Swan of Norway. sfes--
BosToS, Dec. s.--John Wesley Swan. a
photographer OF Norway. Me-, came to
Boston about month ago. remained in
this city four days, and then dropped out
of sight. 1t Is one Of the most mysterious
cases with which the police have had to
deal with for some time.
The story of the events leading up to the
time of the disappearance Is very simple.
just before the winter holiday season of
every year Swan made it q practice TO come
to Boston and secure a supply Of goods.
and the trip which he recently made was
for that purpose. He arrived in Boston on
Nov. IA and registered at the Quincy
House. The next four days he spent in
the city.
There was nothing ont Of the ordinary
noticed In his manner during the four
days which he spent in Boston. and on the
Isih he left the Quincy House jdst after
breakfast, ostepsibly to go home.
When several days had elapsed and bis
wife had not heard from him. she wrote TO
his brother, James A. Swan at Sher.
brooke, Que, and the brother left his
work at once and came To Boston. He
ing man, but he could not follow him an
inch beyond the hotel door.
The reason for the disappearance, IL
there is n reason, is az inexplicable as the
act itself. There were no domestic or
financial difficulties. Swans home rela-
tions were of the pleasantest nature. He
had wife and two children whom he al
most worshipped, and business had been
good with him, for in addition TO his shop
at Norway. he controlled another at Isl
and Pond. VT.
There is no question IA to his mental
soundness, and the only remaining
theories OF which his friends can conceivs
nre that he has been foully dealt with or
that he has accidentally been killed and
been buried without being identified There
have been no bodies found by the polics
which ansMer his description, and he is
not confined at any Of tho hospitals or
prisons, nor Is there any woman in the
case
The whole matter is serious conun-
drum at the present time. He went to
photographers shop on Bromfield street
and ordered some goods. which he had
laid aside. and for which he promised TO
pay when he called on his way to the
depot. The goods sre at the store yet. He
never afterward called at the place.

Bourko Cochran Says 1t Will Pass After
Reasonable Debate.
NEW York, Dec s.-Congressman W.
Bourke Cochran passed part of yester-
day in town attending 10 some law busi-
ness. He did not call upon Richord
Croker, nor did the Tammany chief visit
him. Mr.. Cochran said he had to hurry
back 10 Washington In the afternoon, as
the subcommittee Of the committee OH
ways and means. which has been prepsr-,
Ing the Wilson tariff bill. was to meet
again. and he had promised to participate.
1--WE are getting along very nicely with
the bill, said Mr.. Cochran. "the Republi-
sans have been given until Monday next
30 examine it. Soon, therefore, it will be
reported to the house. OF course one can
not predict jnst how long it will take TO
pass II. Many amendments will probably
be offered. Still, under rules now in
vogue and others which may be adopted.
we hope to secure its passage after rea-
sonable chance is offered for debate"
"How do you propose to supply the de-
fciency in the government revenues which
the bill appears to crente?"
'T doubt il there will be any serious deh.
cheney after the first year or two. Several
plans have been suggested to meet that,
and they will probably be considered at
the next meeting of the subcommittee. I
am not at liberty to tell you what they are.

"More emphaticallv than ever. don't
believe in prosecuting TIE rich any more
than believe in prosecuting the poor. We
ought to be just to them both. I shall
have something TO say upon this proposi-
tion when the bill is under discussion in

before talking about it at length"
what do you think Of the reported
rupture in the Democratic state machine"
Mr.. Cochran smiled rather broadly and
replied Really, | know very little about
it except what / have read in the news

gossip about IL i'm Washington, hut have

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
VIII the President Make Public Instruo-
tions to Minister Willis?

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.--When the presi-
dent complies with the resolution passed
by the senate yesterday and sends in all
the correspondence on orr Hawaiian rela.
tions from 1881 TO 1893, the result will
probably he one OF the bulkiest executive
documents on record.
The main interest will center round this
point: VIII the president deem it "com-
patible with the public interests" to in
olude in his response at this time the in
structions originally given TO Minister
Willis, and any subsequent correspondence
that may have led TO the modification OF
those instructions, if such has been the
course taken.
The Democratic members OF the senate
committee on finance held their first con-
ference on the subject Of the tariff today.
These meetings are to he OF an Informal
character and are intended 10 afford op-
portunity for an exchange Of views among
members and for general preparations
upon the tarlr question. 10 the end that
when tie Wilson bill reaches the senate 1t
may be promptly taken up and disposed
Of
IL is now ssid that there will probably BE-
no hearing by this committee until the bill

PowDERLY DEPosED.
Is Severely Criticized by Prominent Mem.
bers OF knights of Labor.

NEW YORK, Dee Snow that T. ".
Powderly is deposed, his critics talk freely
about him. Prominent members OF the
Knights of Labor, which he ruled so long,
charge him with lack OF courage and un-
wise friendships with capitalistic powers.
Indeed, these are the reasons given by
the several leaders Of the Knights for the
downfall of their late general master
workman.
'Thc man was devoid of courage said
a prominent knight, whose name he
would not permit TO be used for obvious
reasons, ''and the members Of the order
began to find il out Anything that he
undertook, or was undertaken for him, he
had not the courage 10 carry it out"
'Were there any specific charges OF
cowardice'"
"Well, yes. there were, and other things"
was the emphatic reply. Secretary Hayes
showed letter on the floor of the general
assembly which Powderly swore was n
forgery, yet which every member OF the
executive board knew TO be genuine"
nd the contents Of that letter."
The knight ignored this question, but
continues: "When the great railroad
str ike was in progTess in the west, Pow
derly was being dned and wincd by mill
IdlllOltl hldEus'bcS eAiu iiCh iiSIl-

'In 1886. the same year rs the pork pack
ers' strike in Chicogo, we would have won
that strike but for our general master
workman. Tom Barry, who was hand
ling the strike in Chicago, was told by
Armour g. Swift that the strike had been
ordered of by Powderly "a hours before
be Barry or any of the strikers knew Of
it."
'IIow does the present incumbent COM
pare with the pastY
"James II. Sovereign is a man." was the
reply, "who never moves without courage
as tho moving power. Powderly never
began anything that he had the courage
to finish; that's the difference"
The general executive board of the
knights is now in session at the Broad
way Central Hotel. According to the pre-
dictions of members Of the board. the out
lined policy of the knights will henceforth
be much more aggressive and far-reaching
than under the administration of the past
general master workman.

Statistics compiled for the census of

Modern pathologists aver that consumption
