4 REDTCED DEMAND.

The price OF Australian wool has averaged
little lower at London the last year than in any
previous year Of which we have record This
Is not because but in spite Of, the removal OF
duties by the United States, although the pros
pcct Of new and greater market here may
have impeed Australian growers to increase
their production when. after the trying expert
encc OF some years they might otherwise have

The depression In this as in some other farm
products Is not exclusively due to excessive pro
ducti0n nor yet 10 the situation created here
by The tariff. There Is more wool In the world
than Is wanted. rs there Is more wheat and
more cotton. but in part because the consump-
ton Of products in this country has been
checked. II is well 10 remember that the United
States alone, by consumption ranging in differ

entire consumption Of the world, have an cx-
ccptional power 10 affect prices by Il relatively
small increase or decrease In It's enormous de-
mand. II this country stops a third Of Its con-
sumption of pgrou. which is about what II

Evidence has come to light ut Albany of
purpose 10 hang IN the Educational bill affect
ing this city which prepared under The di-
rcction Of the Committee Of Seventy. This bill
WAS introduced by Asscmblyman Pavcy. but In
the Committee on Education yesterday after
noon the only votes ia favor OF reporting the
measure were given by Mr.. Pavey, Mr.. Percy
and Mr.. Sanger. Four rural Republicans ana
Tobn Of Tammany Hail. voted in the negative.
Tho explanation Of this action Is that Mr.. Pavcy
was jealous in securing the signatures Of New
York Assemblymen who pledged themselves 10
stand by Mayor Strong and that he is to he
punished by having his bill kept back or amend
ed out Of its original shape. The passage Of this
measure was of the things demanded by the
people at the recent masSmeetings. They insist
on reforms in our school system and are deter
mined to have them, Thomas c. Plat TO the
contrary notwithstanding.

young man who has shown marked aptitude for
public affairs. In the Legislature Of 1884 he
made an excellent record, and displayed hearty
sympathy with reform movements. Precisely
that spirit is needed in the Fire Department
now.

Mr.S Manogue, collector of customs at
Georgetown, called at the Treasury Depart
ment this morning and handed his resigna-
tion to Mr.. Van Senden, private secretary
to Secretary Carlisle, with an apology for
not having rendered it yesterday. His let

Only this and nothing more. He said that
he had nothing to say for publication.

Secretary Carlisle said this afternoon at

would probably not be appointed this after

They Were Migrants.

Annie Heller, young colored woman, at
tired in evening dress, and young white
woman, whose name was given as Matte
Barker. were in Judge Kimball's process
sion this morning, charged with being vag-
rants. There was nothing in their appear
ance to indicate that they are likely to be-
come chargeable to the District as paupers.
They looked more like they were ready to
attend a tall than to go to the work house,
but their arrest was made in the disrepu-
table part of the city known as the "Divis-
ion" because they violated the rules and
regulations established there by the police.
They kept their windows open, the officer
told the court, and solicited men who passed
their house.
The colored woman is the landlady, and
the white girl is a so-called boarder.
Judge Kimball heard the statements of
the young women, and imposed sentence
of ninety days in the case of the colored
woman, while her white companion was
sent down for sixty days.
