Development Abroad.
South American Wheat Used as an
Illustration-Beef Shipped
From Australia.

The rapid advances made by the agricul-
turists of other countries, both in the mat
ter OF production and the facilities for mar
keting them, are wal chcd with deep concern
by the officials of tie Agricultural De-
partment. Secretary Morton said yester-
day:
1T looks as if the farmer Of all the big
producing countries is trying 10 smut out his
American brother. The agent OF harvester
company, now in Russia, a gentleman of
intelligence and experience, writes me
that he has seen crops of 70 and 90 bushels
of wheat to the acre threshed out there
What would we think of such yield here?
And see what Agcntlaa is doing A re-
port dated July II has reached the De
partment from Buenos Ayres, stating that
upon the basis OF The figures for the first
six months of this year, Argentina viii
send in 1895 100000 head OF beer cattle
alone to Europe.
Accompanying this was a photograph
of scene 300 miles inland of an ocean
going vessel lying alongside an elevator
and being loaded with wheat that grew
on the other side of the elevator, stacks
of grain being shown in the picture. Alb
solutely no land carriage at all when our
wheat reached the Seaboard or a point
where 1t can be loaded ON ocean vessels
a pretty penny has been added to the cost
Of production in the freight paid for its
transportation by railroads.
Only to-day" continued the Secretary,
"a MI. Featherstoneaugh member Of the
Union Club, Sydney, Australia, was in
here, and told nie he had Just completed ar
rangenlents for shipping dressed beef from
that country to London, with tie privilege
Of thirty days storage in cold storage

true, that tea il being successfully grown
about Odessa, Russia, l don't see why it
can't be made to grow in South Carolina -"

TO REGULATE INSURANCE,
Life Underwriters to Make an Effort
to Secure n Federal Law.

10 secure II II eucFOl Law.
Insurance underwriters of this city are
planning to exert all Of their influence to-
ward getting legislation at the coming ses-
sion of Congress which will remedy the ex-
listing deficiencies in the law relating to the
Insurance business here. A statement by
Assessor Trimble in his annual report call
ing attention to the inadequacy of the pres
cnt laws, and the appointment of a COM
mittee by he Fire Underwriters Associa-
ton to confer with the District Commits
soners and formulate some definite plan of
action, has aroused a special interest in the
subject.
Mr.. David S. Hendrick, president of the
Life Underwriters Association of the Dis
trict, when asked what action would be
taken by the life insurance agents, said
to a Star reporter last night that the sub
ject had been before the Association on
several occasions. and that at the next
meeting, which would be held tomorrow
afternoon, the matter would receive further
consideration. He said that the whole ques-
ton could be easily solved by a federal
regulation of insurance. and that a bill
would be brought before Congress at the
next session for the adoption of a national
Insurance department, and that no effort
will be spared to make the project a reali-
ty. This bill would not only be instru-
mental in providing laws for the District
but would provide for all of the states in
the Union. The Life Underwriters Asso-
much in favor of federal regulations, and
would in due time invite the cooperation
of the fire underwriters. The question of
national supervision of insurance has long
occupied the minds of underwriters in ali
parts of the country. and at the national
convention. held at Chicago last year, Mr..
Hendrick was appointed chairman of
committee to bring the subject before Con-
gress. The plan, which is already familiar
TO the public, is to provide national insur-
ance department, with headquarters in
washington, which is to supersede the
various state departments, and to whom
all reports from the insurance companies
doing business in the United States are to
be made. 1t is not intended to materially
interfere with the present state depart
ments, so far as the local companies of any
state are concerned, but company doing
business outside of the state in which it is
incorporated would have to get certiff-
cate from the national department, and
would then be subject to the regulations of
that department.

THE STREET EXTENSION CASES.
Jury of Condemnation to BE Or
gnnixed Next Monday.


AS stated in The Star, Chief Justice Bing-
ham yesterday afternoon announced that,
after a consultation with his brethren of
the District Supreme Court, he had con-
Guided to sign an order directing the mar
shall to summon jury of seven appraisers
in one or more Of the street extension cases,
the jury to report to Judge Cox Monday
next.
The announcement of the court was a
matter of considerable qualification to the
many owners and counsel present in the
court room. and then followed discussion
as to the terms of the order of the court
directing the appointment of the jury. 1t
was finally agreed that counsel should SUBJ
NIT the order for the courts signature to-
morrow morning.
Mr. Wilson at first insisted that the order
should be submitted to the court not later
than o'clock that afternoon, but Mr.. A B..
DuvaE of counsel for the District Com
missioners suggested that the court nav
ing determined upon the appointment of the
Jury. no time would be lost, as the marshal
could meantime decide upon the seven men
he will select as the jury.
Chief Justice Bingham thought, too that
no time would be lost, remarking: "One
thing is now settled, and that is that a jury
shall be summoned. But in what case or
cases the jury shall be sworn is matter
which the court may determine after the
jury shall have been summoned. OF course,
whether the condemnation proceedings Will
or will not hereafter fail is a matter we need
rot now consider"
The hearing was then adjourned until to-
morrow morning, when 1t is expected that
one or more cases will be agreed upon in
which the jury shall be sworn. The case or
cases will, 1T is said. be such as will bring
before the court all the many provisions
contained in the street extension act, that
the constitutionality of the act may be
passed upon. Chief Justice Bingham an
nounced that the court in general term
had assigned Judge Cox to preside in the
District Court after December list, and there
the cases will be heard.

BENJAMIN johnson, Who Killed Capt.
Reyeli, Sent to the Penitcntiary.
The jury in the case of Benjamin John
son, the colored sailor, en- trial for the MUIR
der of Capt. B. F. Revell, in the Potomac
last September, returned verdict of man
slaughter yesterday afternoon at La Plata,
Nd, and the prisoner was sentenced to
three years and six months in the Mary
land penitentiary.
The jury had in the morning sent word
to the court that an agreement could not be
reached, and had asked to be discharged
The court, however declined to accede to
the request. When word came out of the
jury room that a verdict had been reached
the court room filled rapidly with specta-
tors. 1t had been anticipated that John
son would not be convicted of murder in
the first degree. The man himself had evil
IDENTIFY cherished the hope that he would es-
cape with lighter penalty than that con-
templated in the framing of the indictment
against him. When the clerk asked the
foreman whether the prisoner at the bar
was guilty or not guilty, the foreman re-
Piled Not guilty of murder, but guilty of
manslaughter." Jchnson's qualification was
manifest.
Judge Briscoe, in imposing sentence,
stated that there were eXtenuating -circum-
stances in connection with the crimes COM
mission. hence the maximum sentence
would not be imposed.
