DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
Annual Report submitted by Sec ret,,, y
Morton.

hSpOFC Dy S6CrGItfy

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The annual
report of the Secretary Of Agriculture is
particularly interesting because Of its
reference to current troubles with for
eign Governments over the Importation
of American products. He reviews the
subject of foreign markets, and gives
figures of four agricultural experts,
especially those Of Great Britain. That
country paid during the year 1893 tor
American breaQslutts, provisions, cotton
and tobacco, over S324, coo, 900. OF dressed
beet Great Britain took from us during
the first SIX months of the year 1854 SiO,-
100000 worth. Australia is our chief
com petltOr for the trade.
Referring TO the frequent allegations on
the part OF the European Governments
that live animals from the United States
are diseased, the Secretary expresses the
opinion that these allegations are some
times based on fear of infection, but are
a other times made for economic reasons.
lie suggests that If certain European ma
tlons continue TO insist on a microscopic
inspection of our pork and veterinary
inspection OF our beet, with governmental
certification to each, the United States
Government might we'll insist upon such
inspection and certitication by such
foreign Governments OF all lmpOrtatiOnS
therefrom, whether of the edible or bev-
erages intended for human consumption.
The review of the foreign market leads
him to certain conclusions as to the
future of our export trade in agricultural
reports as follows: Competition OF Rus
sia, Argentine. Australia and other coun-
tries favored uy conditions which enable
them to grow wheat at a low cost, and
especially by the proximity of their
wheat-growing regions to water COM
munications, warns American farmers to
no longer depend upon wheat as a staple
export crop. On the other hand, good
market at lair prices is to be obtained in
the United Kingdom for barley and corn,
aud owing TO the great variety OF uses to
which it may be applied, promises TO be
in constant and increasing demand.
With reference to the Weather Bureau,
the Secretary shows that by needing adj
monitions OF the bureau relative to the
great tropical storm OF September, 1894,
vessels at over SI7 100, 600 were saved. so
in October, when over l,20O vessels, val
ued at SIS, 200, 900, were kept in port ow-
ing to the bureaus warming. Moreover,
many human lives were preserved.

Shooting Tournaments Held Yesterday
by the Pelican and Spoon
bill Gun Clubs.

There was quite gathering of knights
of the trigger yesterday at the shooting
tournaments of the Pelican and Spoonbill
Gun Clubs of this city. The former dal-
lied with live pigeons at its grounds near
the American River bridge, while the lat
ter put up series of bluerock (or clay
bird shoots at Agricultural Park.
Among the sportsmen from abroad who
participated in the different matches were
CIittenden Robinson of San Francisco,
George +. Zentgraff of Green Valley, Ell
Dorado County, and NJ. Fendner OF
Dixon, Solano County. These gentle
men, who are all accomplished shots.
took part in the live-bird shooting, and
the scores given below show that they
knew what they were about.
Another gentleman from the country
also dropped into town to ''try his hand" F."
1t was j. ii. burst of the Wheatland -Four
Corners. He took in the bluerock shoot,
and the way he pulverized the elusive
disks established his claim not only to
the four corners of the shooting world
but all the country embraced within
them.
Among the Spoonbill Clubs events
was one especially for newspaper men.
There wasn't a newspaper shooter in the
whole town who had ever shot at dozen
bluerocks, so several of them went into
the match, each OF whom considered that
he had at least an even show with the
others.
When they found the Wheatland news
paper man on the ground they winked at
one another. They thought they had a
sott snap, but they were soon undeceived.
The result showed that the Wheatland
pilgrim was 'onto himself" and that the
local newspaper sharps were not. he
not only walked off with the match, but
he came out first best in every one that
was shot during the day, much to the
dlsmay OF the Spoonbill experts.
THE PELICANS' SHOOT.
There was a good attendance at the
Pelican Clubs grounds, where some 900
good, strong-flying birds out OF the 300
on hand were disposed of during the day.
The first match, intended as a sort OF
eye-opener, was at six birds, 50 entrance,
the money divided into 80, 30 and 20 per
cent. prizes. The scores were:

The Iacas of IraIana

The revival of lace-making in Ireland
will, no doubt, give Irish point lace the
preference. Much OF the Irish point sold
here is but coarse crochet work. and
not TO be admired. The real pillow lace
OF Ireland is fine, beautiful in design and
workmanship. This is made by basting
cards of varying sizes in designs upon
stiff linen. The rings are formed by
winding cord about the finger or a large
needle. holding them to ring form by a
stitch or two, and then basting them into
place All cords are closely buttonholed
with fine linen thread, only used for
this purpose, and by catching the designs
together with slender, hard twisted cords.
Sometimes the whole design is in close
button-hole stitch, like old point, but
having more piquets.

THEY DON'T ENLIST,
Industrials Have No inclination To.
ward the Army.

According to Capt Charles Porter who
Is In charge OF the recruiting office for the
army In this city. the hard times and the
arrival of the various Industrial armies has
had practically no effect on the number Of
applicants for positions in the ranks OF
Uncle Sans defenders. Capt. Porter was
asked by Star reporter this morning
whether or not the influx of men admitted
ly out of work had increased his work.
Not to any appreciable extent" he said
In fact, only two men who were connected
with these so-cailed industrial armies have
been passed into the ranks in this CITY I
supposed myself that a large number of
these men would be only too glad of a
chance to get regular work, even IL II in
volved the wearing Of the blue uniform
but so far We have had very few applicants
one requisite to enlistment, you know, is
that the man shall furnish a recommenda-
ton from some one under whom he has
been employed within six months prior to
enlistment. This fact has probably had its
full effect in keeping down the number. /
am really surprised that more of these men
do not enlist, for in point of fact a posi-
Ton IN the army is not half bad sor any
man who would otherwise be out Of work
through no fault of his own. / believe
really that II soldier used economy at
the end of his term OF enlistment he would
be better OF than he would as n mechanic
or laboring man at the end OF the same
period.
The term OF enlistment is five wears
but man can obtain his discharge at the
end OF three. He has practically no ex-
penses. tobacco being about the only thing
he has TO buy. His allowance for clothing
Is amply sufficient after the first year and
l nave known of many cases where a man
has saved from $40 to 500 during his time
from this one item alone. Then a soldier
has the privilege of deposlting any Of HIS
savings with his paymaster. receiving in
terest at the rate of per cent from the
time OF its deposit on any sum exceeding S5
He cannot take this out until he gets his
discharge. and in case OF desortion / believe
this amount is turned over TO the surDort
of the soldiers homes. This is the surcst
kind of savings bank and any soldier who
is half way careful during his term OF
service will find himself the possessor of a
verT tidy sum when he comes to quit the
army. One would think this would lie a
great opportunity for men gho are unable
to secure regular employment, but n is
true that they do not take advantage of Il
TO the extent that one would expect. In

ROUTED by THE TROOPS.
Strikers Mt Oakland, CAL, Try to
CAPTURE a Trnin.

AT Oakland. Cal, yesterday the strikers
formed into several riotoJs mobs of 200 or
500 men each. All incoming and outgoing
passenger trains were so strongly guarded
that they were not interfered with, but the
fury Of these mobs fell upon such luckless
non-union men as the strikers were able
TO waylay going to and from their work.
Several times the troops were called out to
dispense the rioters and rescue non-union
men.
Shortly after noon a freight train was
started from the yards on the Mole. At
the 9TH street crossing the ncn-union men
" charge found themselves at the mercy
of a mob. \ striker had mana ged TO climb
aboard and cut the air-brake. The train
was stalled, and the rioters, who were
soon swarrning about, had drawn all the
coupling pins out.
y troop OF cavalry and a company Of
infantry came down upon the mob The
cavalrymen used their sabers and dubbed
with their pistols. and foot soldiers prodded
freely with their bayorets. In the struggle
two shots were fired by the soldiers though
no one was hit The strikers were finally
put to flight. A number of the rioters
sought refuge in the cottage of a striker
The soldiers followed, raided the house.
and arrested twenty-One men. Several Of
the rioters were cut and bruised. The
freight train was run to a side track and
abandoned.
After this occurrence the soldiers, going
on the trains as guards, were given posi-
tive orders to shoot any one who attempted
to interfere with any train. Finally a
freight train was sent out, guarded by
about 600 militia.
