the bill to increase the tax. Inquiry BY the
Journal correspondent at the Treasury to-
day developed that the Treasury authorities
do not expect favorable action. Internal
had ranai,,ed - me frnr, ~ cornrit-
tee for his opinion as TO the revenue to be
derived by the additional tax, and 1T was
broadly intimated in the Office of Secretary
Carlisle that no such law was expected.
Added to this is the fact that the bill has
been referred by the committee on ways
and means to a subcommittee. of which Mr..
McMnlin, of Tennessee, is chairman. Mr..
McMillin is thes father of the income tax,
and he looks on every bill that is now in
troduced to raise revenue especially a bill
that would raise as much revenue as the
beer-tax bilD as a direct attack on the in
come tax. Hence an U~nfavorable report is
to be expected from the subcommittee,
which will be adopted by the full commit
tee, and the beer tax bill will be killed.

~" * IA
Times Correspondent.
LONDON, Jan. ia dispatch to the
Times from Paris says that once more
France has emerged without a shipwreck
from one of the most unforeseen and
threatening storms that ever assailed her.
The contest was severe. Brisson secured
the largest poll obtained by any unsuccess-
full candidate In twenty years. This is
proof of the tenacity with which the two
opposing forces defended their positions.
The dispatch on the surprises
of French politics. 1t Sc VS. that Faure was
expected to play Waldeck-Rosseau's game,
but is himself elected. The Moderates chose
two names, almost at random. Waldeck-
Rosseau was chosen because it was supposed
that Casimir- Perier would later have in
vited him to form a Cabinet, and Faure was
chosen because a week ago he was pressed
to stand against Brisson for the presidency
of the Chamber of Deputies. So much do
thing go by chance that Faure, who did not
venture to contest the presidency of the
chamber with Brisson, wins the chief magis-
tracy against him.
The Rightists to-day showed themselves
wiser than when they opposed Casimir-
Perier's candidature. They had no can

THE NEW PRESIDENT.
Brief Sketch of the Public Career of
NJ. Felix Eaure.

Brief Sketch of the Public Career of
M. Felix Fa1re.
NJ. Felix Faure was born in Paris on Jan.
80. 1841. He was formerly a ship owner of
Havre and was president of the Chamber
of of that town. During the
Franco-Prussian war he was a chief of
battalion of the Garde Mobile and led from
Havre to Paris volunteers who assisted in
putting down the commune. He was first
elected to the Chamber of Deputies as a
Republican III 1881 and at the time of the
formation of the Gambetti Cabinet of Nov.
IA, 1881, he became under Secretary of State
in the then new ministry of commerce and
the colonies. He relinuished office, with the
other members of the Cabinet, in January,
1882, but he WAS called to fill the same
Office on Sept. IA, 1888, in the last Cabinet
presided over by M. Jules Ferry, and re-
signed with the other ministers on March
1, 1885. NJ. Faure was elected to represent
the Seine-Inferieure in the elections of Oct.
4, 1885, and for the third time became Under
Secretary of State, this time in the Tirard
Cabinet. In the elections of Sept. %, 1889.
he was elected to represent the Second dis
trict of Harve and in the Dupuy Cabinet,
which resigned just previous to the resigna-
ton of NJ. Casimir-Perier he was minister
of marine. NJ. Faure was slated for the
presidency of the Chamber of Deputies in
the event of the election of either NJ. Bris-
son or NJ. Waldeck-RosSeau.

FOREIGN
Yield of Wheat, Rye, Oats, Barley and
Other Cereals.

WASHINGTON, Jan. T7.-Statistics of
foreign crops for the past year are given in
a report issued by the Agricultural Depart
naenl. In European Russia the estimated
output for 1894 is as follows: Rye, S21, 534, 9o4
bushels; wheat, 2S2. 642, 04O bushels; oats, 6S7,-
$40, 30S bushels; barley, 1876, 71S, 2S bushels;
buckwheat, 43, 800, $50 bushels. The produc-
ton of Great Britain is estimated as fol-
lows: Wheat, area, 1,927, 1862 acres and prod
uct, 61,O37, 927 Winchester bushels; barley,
295, I'll acres and 74,55s, SO7 bushels; oats, 81
25s, 4o1 acres and 139, 1872, 723 bushels. In
France the output was in round numbers,
3343, 350. COO bushels of wheat, &c, So, 900 bushels
of barley, and 2lS, 1886, 900 bushels of oats.
The wheat product for the year in GERMANY

els; spring barley. $50, DOC. 600 bushels; oats,

ian government estimates the principal
crops of wheat at $4,000 bushels, rye, p
oats, 10,019.0 900 bushels. In Italy wheat ag-
gregated almost 123, 600, 600 bushels; oats al
most 100000 bushels, barley over 100000
almost 15,000,0 900.
Wheat exports from the Argentine Re-
Year aggregated esr NJ s7s,57s set tons' In ontario
the wheat crop aggregated over 2O,500,00
bushels; barley, II. 100000 bushels; oats over
100000 bushels; potatoes, II, 100000 bushels;
peas, Ia. 400, 900 Winchester bushels. Manito-
ba produced II, zoo, 600 Winchester bushels of
wheat; IL. 1000 bushels of oats and $780,
0N bushels of potatoes and other root crops.
Reports from European agents of the de-
partment show that there is a more hope
full feeling in the grain markets of En-
gland and that the farmers there are ex-
pecting better prices. In southern England
great floods have Overrun large expanseS
of arabic land and have limited somewhat
the area intended to be devoted to winter
wheat. The development of winter seedlings
of crops in France has been unusually rapid
and the condition of next years crop is
generally reported as highly favorable. Ex-
cess of rain has proved unfavorable to seed
in Roumania the wheat area is considerably
reduced. In Germany mild weather has
made the development of plants unusually
rapid and the sowings in Spain are re-
ported by telegraph as completed under
favorable conditions. The extreme wet has
compelled large numbers of farmers in Bel
GUM to POSTPONE sowing until very late.

Rates On American Products After
AbrOgatiOn of ReciprOcity.

AbrOgatfOn of Reciprocity.
WASHINGTON, Jan. lion the 18th of
December last the Senate adopted a reso-
luton. introduced by Senator Washburn,
requesting information Intended to show
the effect of the abrogation of the reci-
procity treaty on the trade Of this coun-
try with Cuba. The resolution was for
warded to the consul-general of the United
States at Havana, and the Secretary has
forwarded his reply to the Senate. From
this statement it appears that under the
reciprocity treaty the duty imposed on
American wheat was 80 cents per 100 kilos,
compared with 1895 at present; on flour, 81
then and S475 now; on corn the increase
IL rr1m % % sens 81 7s 70 Tb ss'sD mn and ON m of IRON IRON
lean flour decreased after the treaty was
repealed from O ,o43 bags for the months
cember, 1893, to Il, 1885 bags for the CORE
spending months in 1894. The rates inn
posed on American products are highest
products from any country. Since the let
ter was written, however, Spain has prac-
tically agreed to lower rates on American
production.
The Produce Exchange of Toledo appears
to have fallen into error when, on the 18th
inst, it adopted a resolution directed to
the State Department denouncing as unfair,
and unreasonable charges made by United
land, to the effect that American clover
seed. which is sold in large quantities in
Europe, was heavily adulterated. The res
Olutions go on to state at length that the
seed complained of was nothing more than
'siftings," and which were sold on sample
for just what they were. As a matter. of
fact, Mr.. Campbell made no such charges,
but he did transmit to the Department Of
State a published notice in a newspaper
purporting to give the findings of the On
tario agricultural station severely arraign-
ing the quality of American clover seed.
The Consul did not indorse these charges,
but as they were being widely circulated
sent them to America, in order that the
seed growers might be aware of them and
have an opportunity to refute them.
