Missed the Main Issue.

WASHINGTON, Sept 12.-The letter
Of Secretary Carlisle to Senator CAT
ferry does not decide the main ques-
ton in which the sugar growers are
Interested, namely: Whether the
sugar bounty for this year earned up
to the time the tariff bill went into
effect will be paid. The decision yes
terday is simply an official refusal on
the part of the secretary to appoint
sugar bounty inspectors and testers
and does not decide the other ques-
ton, although there seems little
doubt that he will hold that he has
no authority to pay bounties earned
this year before the new tariff bill
went into effect. The law says II
shall be unlawful after the passage
of this act to pay such bounties. Inc
only recourse left to the sugar grow
ers for bounties earned would be tt
sue in the court OF claims.

To Reduce the Force.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 7.-Some
changes in the force Of special agents
of the general land office will be re-
uuired unless additional appropria-
ton for the service is made early in
the next session of congress. The
present appropriation for that work
is $50, 900, which is said to be made
quate for the expenses of the force
OF between thirty and th;rty-five
agents. None have been dismissed
so far. but some may be suspended
pending further appropriation, which
is expected to be made. The apprO-
priation for last year was $4,000 and
later on an additional appropriation
of $40, 200 was made. Commissioner
Lamoreaux has just ordered the dis
missal OF twelve agents and the names
of twelve more will be dropped from
the rolls on December l. This &C.
ton will reduce the force to about ten
at the end of the year.

S99, of which $ll. ll4,2 9O was on the
cane sugar. OF the bounty on cane
sugar $40, S6S.S94 was paid in Louis

Carlisle is expected to render decis-
ion to-day on the claims for sugar
bounties unpaid prior to August II,

der the law he is not only unauthor-
lied. to make these payments, but
specially instructed by the new tariff
act not to pay them. The sugar pro-
ducers contend that congress had no
right and did not intend to prohibit
the payment of bounties on sugar

in force, cad that tho license issued
