Most Of it in Kansas.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. April 2i.-The depart
ment of agriculture has prepared report
in answer to the senate resolution inquiring
as to the wherea bouts and conditions of the
experimental sugar machinery which was
purchased by the department at various
times, at u cost Of about $2S0.0oO.
So far. the report says, very little good
has ever been derived from 1t. The ma
chinery was loaned out to persons to make
experi ments and it is now in the hands Of
private parties. The most Of it j. in Kansas.
though small portion is IN Florida and
Louisiana. The department will also take
I'D the question of what to do with 1t, and it
is thought that it will be appraised and cold.
Some difficulty is anticipated in proving the
title TO the property, as great deal OF 1t 10
in the hands of people who claim possession.
In several cases the department of agricul-
ture has referred the govern ment cases to
tho department of justice. and it is expected
that United States district at Orneys will be
called upon to assist in retaining the ma
chinery.

Smith and Shockley.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. April 22.-The board
of managers of the soldiers home discussed
for some time the situation at the Leaveu-
worth home. The trouble there is the sub
ject of report made by a special sub-com-
mittee of the board last year. At the
meeting some months ago this report was
considered and the board appeared divided
on the matter of ousting the higher officials
there and putting Others in their places. 1t
was the opinion of half of the board that
the best way to stop the trouble between the
governor of the home, Colonel Smith. and
the secretary and treasurer. Major Shockley,
would be to ask for designations OF both.
But no action WAS taken. and the mutual
friends of Smith and Shockley made an
effort to bring bout a rsconci iation, aud 1t
has been intimated to the board by the
friends of both that the trouble would likely
remain buried if nothing more was done.
1t seems that this representation was made
to the members of the board at the present
meeting, and it was concluded to take no
further action on the special report made at
this meeting The report can be called up
at any time and acted upon, and it is likely
that it will remain in this attitude to remind
those personally interested that it would De
we'll to keep quiet in the future.

MOT a Fair Division.

WASHINGTON. d. c., April 2L-Dr. Sal
mon was shown a dispatch given out by r.
p, Woodbury., secretary of the Kansas City
stock yards, in which it was charged that
the agitation begun by the agricultural de-
partmeut has hurt the live stock industry.
In reply DIR. Salmon said: The United
States department of agriculture had its at
tentiou called to the discrepancy between
the prices of fat cattle on the hOof and the
price of prime beef in retail markets before
an investigation had been auth>Sized by
any person connected with the department.
He declared that he did not credit the
statement that the agitation had put down
the price of live cattle and maintained the
retail price of beef, if as it was alleged by.
the Kansas City stock yards people, prices
depended now and have depended all along
on the relation of the supply of beef to tho
demand for beef.
The advance in price by retail dealers OF
5 cents to the consumers when there IS an
advance of only a dollar hundred pounds
to the farmers and cattle feeders for animals
on hoof is not regarded as equltably pro-
pOrtiOned.

The Kansas Gas Wells.

lola. KAN, April 1a-William Moore, OF
Kokomo. Ind, an extensive manufactured
of natural gas machinery and one OF the
most expert practical gas men In Indiana
and Prof. E. Haworth, of the state univer-
sity, who has been making a careful study
of the natural gas fields of Kansas for sew
rral years, were in lola this week for the
purpose of testing and measuring our new
gas we'll. They made several careful tests
and found that the we'll has rock pressure
of 3l5 pounds and that its total yield OF gas
is 7,Ol4.OJO cubic feet every twenty-four
hours. Mr.. Moore was greatly surprised to
find SO strong a we'll here, and said that 1t
was equal to the very best wells in the In
diana field. Mr.. Moore and Prof. haworth
will 60 over the entire Kansas gas he!d max
ing similar tests.

Dun's Review OF Trade.

Dun'9 Review OF Trade.
r. G. Dun 4 Cas- last Weekly Review Of
Trade says:
In every speculative department. business
is growing. but this is really tbs least salts
factory feature of the situation. Cotton, oil
and wheat climb above tn, export price SO
that the marketing of products abroad must
be checked and money is absorbed which
ought to be employed IN productive indus
try and in dis,ribu ion of prod ucts to con.
sumers. Everybody knows that oil has not
Fl en- 100 per cent because it IS intrinslcally
more va liable. nor IL wheat actually worth
more than il was two or three weeks ago,
but tn. expansive and uplifting focce has
fortunately taken to speculation rather than
TO production. and so We have higher prices
in all speculative markets without q large
demand for consumption.
Wheat has advanced ovNr 3 cents during
the past week, and the western receipts are
small, only l.OO2.4S6 bushels against l.166,-
S29 last year. but Atlantic exports for three
weeks of April have been only 5,666.4Sl
bushels. -four included. against $3.50. 800 last
year. and there is no ind cation that the for
eign demand will increase.
The actual decrease in the receipts OF cat
tie at the four chief western markets has
been zoe. 900 head during the first quarter OF
1895 end the quantity killed has been only
$1,000 head less than last year, about 10 per
cent, but facts have lit 9 to do with prices
in this case, as in the case of oil.
Cotton manufacturers are encouraged by
improved prices and are fairy busy. Sales
of wool at the three chief markets have been
1898, eco pounds for three weeks OF April
against 14,6O2. 200 last year which indicates
that the production of goods 10 at present
larger than it has been at any other time
for nearly two years and while foreign CON-
petition is seriously felt in some branches.
the manufacturers ara making a vigorous
effect to retain home market. even IN lines
in which they at one time expected to
abandon.
Failures have been 241 in the United
States, against 2l9 last year, 81 In Canada
against As last year.

FoRr WORTH. TKx., April 24.-All Of Texas

Dwight Moody. called upon his audience OF
5000 Christians to pray feryently taat the
foodGates might be opened. This vas at
p. m. Al night when the tabernacle was
crowded by 10000 people from Fort Worth
and surrounding cities, Mr.. Moody an-
nornced that word had come from several
Points that rain had fallen. A few minutes
later tho storm burst on Fort Worth and
torrents of rain fell.
Then Mr.. Moody gave thanks to God and
ca led upon the conGr Cation to join in sing
ing Coronation" and '-All Han! the Power
Of Jesus n me. Let Angels PROSTATE Fall.
The song had slrged forth from 10000
voices, when a cracking noise was heard
and then the roof sank and tn rafters gave
way and the heavy timbers and boards COW
cred with tar and gravel came down on
portion of the congregation.
There was q panic Scores upon scores OF
women tainted. some men lost their heads
and piled pell-m mel over those near them.
Mr.. Moody. moving to the middle OF thu
platform, lifted both hands to heaven NOV
ing his arms slowly to and fro. HIS attitude
and GOODNESS stopped the panic and men
began to go to work to rescue those in dam
ger. drenching rain was falling. but they
worked hard and the wounded were soon
taken out and carried to their homes or to
tho houses near by. About forty persons
were slightly hurt.

Freshets in New England.

The floods throughout New England
reached higher point than has BEEN re-
corded for many ye"rs. No loss of life has
followed the rise of the waters. but great
losses of property have been caused through
dams being carried away. and from flood,
railway bridges. factories and cellars. Tele-
graphic and telephone communication has
been seriously interfered with, and thou
sands of mill operatives have been thrown
out of work temporarily by the flooding OF
the lower portions of mills throug bout this
section. All the mills along the Merrimac
river near Manchester are shut down. ana
fears are entertained for the bridges. There
was ten and one-haf feet of water over the
dam. The city of Nashua. n. H.. is practi-
caily cut of from tine north. no traine or
mails having arrived for thirty-six hours.
The electric power plant has been forced to
shut down, and, in consequence. many mills
have been compelled to shut down. Fully
1900 people have been made temporarily
idle. In the eastern part of the city the
streets are under water. Twenty-Five thou
sand dollars damage will result from ths
freshet at Haverhill, Mass.

Mexican Cattle Coming.

Mexican Cattle CONNIE.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. April 19.-The secre.
tary of agriculture received a number OF
messages from cattles,en in Kansas and
Texas. protesting against the order allowing
cattle to be brought in'o this country from
Mexico An effort was made at the depart
ment to keep the matter quiet. but tue IN
formation leaked out One of the messages
said that cattiernen in the vest expected
rise in Lrices from natural causes, AND that
they stocked up last year expecting an al
vance. but in making these calculations
they had not considered that. in the event
prices went up, they would be forced 10
compete with cattle from Mexico. Dr. Sal
mon, of the department of agriculture
stated that. in his opinion. there WI uid %
10000 head of beef cattle brought into TINS
country within month rs result OF the
new order. He also thought the order would
remain in force as long as gh prices pre-
vail. j..
Instructions were mailed 20 the agent OF
the department at kansa' City to keep an
account of all cattle from Mexico received
at that point. Il is believed that most OF
the beef catt'e brought in from Mexico VIII
be marketed at Kansas City. and hence they
expect to receive most of their returns from
that point.
