AMERICAN CORN BEATS THE WORLD

ferior Quality.
WASHINGTON, Nov 23-An analysis of
maize from the Black sea and the Danube
was recently made in the chemical division
of the Department of Agriculture with a
view of determining its comparative value
as a feeding stuff with that grown in this
country. OF late years these countries have
been shipping corn in large quantities to
Germany and Great Britain and other
countries of northern Europe. The imports
into Germany from Roumania alone last
year exceeded those OF the United States.
of southern Europe in competition for this
trade, owing to their geographical location
and the avoidance of along sea voyage, are be-
lieved in this country to be Offset by the
superior quality of the American product and
this impression Is strikngly confirmed by
the recent analysis. The samples were found
to correspond in composition to poor corn
grown in the United States, being from IS 10
II per cent lower in protein and fully 80
per cent lower than the last averages OF over
200 samples of American grown corn. While
an average for corn for the world shows but
9.45 of protein and this average is higher
than samples from the Black sea and the
Danube, the American average is 1915. The
samples of dent and flint exceed this, many
indeed, exceeding II per cent
1t Is pointed out by the department that
while these facts speak eloquently of the
higher quality of the American product they
also testify with equal force to the I'M
portance OF maintaining the high standard OF
the feeding quality of American corn IN
foreign markets, as that Is unquestionably
the characteristic upon which main reliance
must be placed to enable the American
growers to compete successfully with the
cheap labor of southern Europe. The ship
ment of inferior grades of corn under the
circumstances would be to deal death blow
to American corn exports, even to those
countries whose maize is used only as food

Patrick Ford, jr., has filed a motion for a
new trial on the charge of highway robbery,
of which he was recently convicted in the
criminal court. The motion is based on some
alleged remarks made by w. ID. Clark one OF
the members of the jury before which he
was tried.
In an affidavit accompanying the motion
Henry Foley, one of the panel, swears that
he was seated behind Clark In the criminal

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The Treasury
department today, in order to recoup in part
it's falling gold reserve. took the extremely
unusual course of agreeing to pay express
charges both ways to persons and corpora
ticns forwarding gold in exchange for other
currency.
Secretary Carlisle In a circular letter sent
to the United States subtreasury during the
afternoon gave instructions to hereafter re-
ceiye gold coin In sums Of $500 and multples
thereof, and to pay express charges on the
gold and also on the currency returned in
exchange therefor. He also instructed the
subtreasurers to receive light weight gold
coin and TO ascertain the exact value of such
coins and pay for 1t at face value, less 4
cent for each troy grain, on such coins as are
found to be below standard weight.
Today is believed to be the second time
In the history Of the government that 1t has
paid express charges both on the gold re-
ceived and the currency returned therefor.
The only exception, 1t is said, was In 1898,
when 1t was done in few instances.
The secretary's letter of instruction to
subtreasurers regarding light weight coin
was as follows: Department instructions OF
July 8 and August 23 1895, requiring you TO
reject and place a distinguishing mark'on all
gold coins presented to your depository for
