 WAsHINGToN, Feb. 5-The war on the agricultural department which has long beon chronic, now bids fair to become acute, if it bo lawful to speak of it as a disease. Tho department is condemned by the railroad interests for putting the crop estimates too low and by tho farmers for putting them too high, by the rival bureau of Dodge, Snow x Co for various depar- lures from their methods, by silverites and Populists because it Is officially for mono metallism and by few million other folks because Secretary Morton is, as they put it, "so stuck on himself" It has, however, ono defender who is a host in himsclf-namCly, the crop statistician and farmer optimist, C. Wood Davis-and as he is now accepted in England as \ mcri- ca's best expert tho department reports go in that realm. The people have not paid much attention to this littlo war because the finances have absorbed all popular in tcrest, but it is really quite important, and it is now possible to give an intelli- gent opinion on the merits of the depart ment and the correctness of its reports.
 Mexico Not Much of a Rival.
 After worrying Chairman Hatch of the house committee on agriculture until, as l fear, he dreaded the sight of me, sought certainty at several other places. The Mexican minister gave mo a very enter taining talk on the prospects of his cOun- try and has since kindly supplemented it with a written article tho effects of frco silver coinage there but he soon con vinced me that Mexico is our rival in nothing unless it may be sugar and cattle. The Argentine minister almost convinced me that We might as well go out of the wheat business, as his country could sup ply all the needs of Europe, and the de-

In the Senate.


 WASHINGToN. Feb 9.-Interest in the senate Centered in the two messages from the resident the first on finance and the second transmitting Minister Willis latest dispatch from Hawaii, stating that two American citi ems were under sentence of death for participation in the royalist up rising, The closest attention was given to both messages. and they were the main topics of comment throughout tho del.ate
 Tho Hawaiian dispatches had opportune bearing on the subject under discussion- the building of cable to Hawaii-and MT. Halo of Maine and Mir. Morgan of Alabama pointed out that it showed tho imperative need of quick communication by means of cable with Hawaii.
 The speech of Mir. Morgan. chairman of the committee on foreign relations. was one of the most notable efforts the senate has heard in some time. It set forth in forcibe terms the need of establishing connections with Hawaii in order to over come the aggressions of Great Britain in the Pacific MT. Morgan declared that Great Britain was secretly plotting to wrest Pearl harbor from the control of the United States and thus secure the Gibral- tar of the Pacific.
 The days session closed with a spirited controversy as to the attitude of this gov ernment toward Hawaii's condemnations to death of those engaged in the recent uprising. Mir. Morgan urged noninter- vention. Mir Hale declared that Hawaii would forfeit the sympathy the United States had thus far given her if these death sentences were executed.

that 67 of those elevators are idle for want of grain, and tho firms secretary gives it as his opinion that the crop of South Da- kota was only s, 900, 900 bushels, instead of 15, GOO, 900, as reported.
 One more source of error should be noted. At first reports were obtained largely from those in the railroad interest, and the department had to be constantly on guard against overestimates, but as the machinery got in better order tho reports came in directly from farmers, and in 1890 it was discovered that farmers were rapidly tending to underestimate. The department, long accustomed to guard against one exaggeration. was suddenly called on to guard against the exact oppo- site, and on top of this came the surprise crops" of 1S9l-2. Even so cautious and experienced a calculator as Wood Davis was badly deceived by this combination. He had confidently promised that the grain glut would soon give way, and that this year at the furthest would bring rising prices. The Hungarian minister of agri- culture and II. Rains Jackson of Eng land, probably the best cstimaters in Flu rope, raised his figures and put the world : yield of 1893 at something over ,. 200, COG, 900 bushels, but the trade movements showed that even they undGrestimated it, and though our own crop was short the world that year probably produced nearly ?, 100, 000, O00. And only 45 years ago but the business was not then on n scicn- tific basis-eXperts estimated the world : crop of wheat at only 500, GOO, OOO No wonder 1t is cheap!

has been deferred OF any accrued obligation
.of the Government. and no man can he 1ound
with dscredted Treasury warrant in his pos
session" The fact Is that no secret was made
of the deliberate purpose TO force the June bal
ance The expenditures that month on all ac-
counts except interest were So 122.O00 less than
the monthly average for the first eleven months
OF the fiscal year The disbursements on account
of civil and miscellaneous expenses fell $2,J's,-
600 below the monthly average OF the first eleven
months: on account Of the War Department they
foil S525. 900 below the average: on account OF
the Navy S912 900; on account Of Indians, $780,
900. and on account Of Pensions, S1,122,OOO. The
interest account Is omitted from this comparison
because payments are always light in the month
OF June. This year they amounted to only WIS
O14. The statement that mo man can be found
with discredited Treasury warrant in his
possession is as true as 1t Is amusing. because
Treasury warrants are not used In paying
claims against the Government But it Is also
true that claims for services TO the amount OF
many thousand dollars, which are represented
by certificates and vouchers issued by Govern
ment officers, are outstanding. many or them
having been sold by the original holders III Il

of the United States have been closed on account
of lack of funds to pay court officers and attend

eral and the Secretary Of the Treasury are re-
sponsibc because they neglected to ask for s'fii-
cent appropriations. Congress appropriated
every dollar that was asked for the support OF

and only three days before the expiration OF the
LID Congress the estimate for deficiency APP
preparation was reduced by the sum OF nearly
$1,000 by the Attorney General with the knowl-
edge and approval Of the head Of the Treasury
Department 1t appears that the Administration
is trying to shoulder all the responsibility Tor the
existing condition Of the public finances upon the
Lid Congress, which Is now not only accused
Of ''prodigaity in appropriations but blamed
for having enacted laws THAT have proved ihaue
'alatc to furnish sufficient revenue TO meet cur
trent obligations" II the Administration could
have had It's way. the revenues would have been
less by some millions OF dollars year than they
now are. and as for the appropriations, most OF
them were recommended in estimates sent to
Congress by the Secretary of the treasury ana
by the heads Of other Executive Departments.
The Administration cannot escape its full share
of responsibility for the laws affecting the MI
tiona finances or the entire responsibility Tor
the management OF them. or for the clumsy at
tempt TO deceive the country in regard TO the
real state Of affairs at the end Of the fiscal year.
