meteors always on the night between the

Queale, McGovern and Didrichsen took part
giving their opinions pro and cen. The
President in a very able manner summed up
the central ideas expressed by the different
speakers and reviewed them in order, looming
to the following conclusions
l. That it was impossible for small sugar
growers. to grow sugar under three cents.
2. That personally he Intended yet for u
time to stick to sugar, hut would advise
others to try anything that was likely to
yield some return in the shortest possible
time.
8. That tobacco seemed to be the best
thing TO take its place, if the island WAS to
De prevented from going out of cultivation.
4. That what we wanted chiefly was a man
English speaking, expert in the curing and
preparing of crude tobacco for the market
we had already one who could show us how to
grow it.
5. That "%union, was strength" therefore
all must join hands in this matter if it wa
to succeed.
8. That the experience of Mr.. Dendtler
as to the poor quality Of tobacco grown at
Richmond (mentionsd by Mr.. Lunny) may
have only been from detective curing.
7. That seeds could be easily got, his
firm. undertaking to supply all that were
needed.
8. That Government had already done
much in this matter. by putting an expert
mental gardening station, for which many
thanks were due to the la = Governor
Arendrup.
8. That Mr.. Wilson's proposal of getting
money from the immigration Fund with the
consent of Government and the Colonial
Council for the payment Of an expert was a
step in the right direction because it was 50
hard to get men to join in private enter
prises when they had to lay oat any ready
money.
10. That the proposal to let each estate
owner present agree to put an acre or an acre
and II half in tobacco during the coming
twelve months be put to the vote.
This last proposal was carried unanimously
and each or most Of the estate owners
present signed a paper to this effect, and it
was further resolved t. get up a petition
to the Government and Council in the matter.
Thereupon closed th9 public part Of the
meeting the members Of the Agricultural
Association present were then called upon
to decide as to the oxpedienoy of continuing
above named body which was not in u
heal thy condition in any sense. After some
debate it was decided by a majority that
the said Association be henceforth dis
solved"

Vest Working Hard for Taylor.

From the New York SUM
Senator Vest, of Missouri. is hard at work
endeavoring to secure the confirmation Of
Charles H. Taylor. the colored man from
Kansas. who has been nominated TO be re-
corder of deeds for the District of Columbia.
Seven of the nine members of the district
committee are opposed to Taylor's confirma-
tion, and his rejection is generally antici-
pated. In the fight for Taylor Senator Vest
is assured Of the cordial support OF Senator
Martin. OF Kansas, who is one OF the principal
indorsers of the Objectionable nominee. Sena-
tor Vest says that Taylor has built up large
colored Democratic organization in Missouri.
but the average Democratic United States
Senator does not take much stock in the col
ored Democratic idea. II was suggested TO
Senators Vest and Martin that if they think SO
highly of Taylor they should have secured
for him federal appointment in either Mis-
souri, or Kansas. To this suggestion it is un-
derstood that both of these Senators objected,
on the ground that such an appointment
would not be popular with the rank and file
of the Democratic party in those states.
The Washington times., 1894-04-16
HE HAD RETTER RTN AGAIN.

Mr. Breckenridge does not take the verdict
kindly. He thinks the opposing lawyers
were INSCRIPTIONS, sbe judge prejudiced, and
that The TIMES and other newspapers caused
public sentiment against him. Mr.. Breck-
inridge. very naturally, does not see the facts
as others see them. To US it will seem
strange if there is not an almost universal ap-
proval of the verdict. Here was an idol OF
the Kentucky people, gifted, engaging man
in the prime of life, guilty by his own state
ments of making improper advances to a girl
or woman who, whatever her age, was
his inferior in all worldly circum-
stances and experience, younger and un-
der his special guardianship as the daughter
of another member of orders that derive much
of their supposed value from the protection
they are thought to afford to the widows and
orphans of deceased members. These are the
facts, with the undenied promise of marriage,
that the jury decided on. The jury decided
against him. The public seems to do the
same. There is way, Mr.. Breckinriige, for
you to test the public of your district, and it
will have also the value of an unique expert
ment in American politics. Run again for
Congress. You may be justified. Another
thing, if you win and are economical, you
might make beginning towards paying off
this SIS 900 damages.

WANTED: A LIVING CHANCE.

Printed in yesterdays TIMES was a COM
munication addressed by the council of the
carpenters to the editor of the National Build
ing Register, who had referred TO the sup
posed hostility OF the carpenters to the en-
ploying builders of this city. The letter states
the position of the carpenters better than any
fewer words may do. But, briefly, they want
living chance. They cannot expect. and do
not expect, that the builders will build if it
will not pay them. They make objection,
however. and make it strongly, that the build
ers should cut their wages, for the simple rea-
son that times have been hard. and many are
out of work. and consequently that it may be
supposed to be easy to fill the places Of those
who do not choose to submit. These skilled
