Washington. July 31.-Professor Hen
ry w. Elliott, who, according to a
Washington dispatch to the London
Chronicle. has written a letter to As
sistant Secretary of State Day bitterly
attacking John w. Foster, the author Of
the state departments note to Embas-
sador Hay on the seal fisheries ques-
tions, has no connection with the
Smithsonian institute, and his attack on
Mr. Foster has therefore no official sig
nificance. Professor Elliott has been
employed at various times and in vari-
Gus capacities for years past by the
Smithsonian officers and at one time
was secretary to Professor Henry.
Professor Elliott has written several
works on sealing. having visited the
seal islands. and one Of his papers was
included several years ago in a Smith
sonian report. In the Garfield cam
paign Elliott wrote a statement Of the
American side of the seal fisheries con-
troversy and submitted 1t to Secretary
Blaine. who repudiated it. The state
ment was afterward placed in the hands
of the British minister, who used it as
the alleged correct version of the Amer
ican side of the case from the stand
point of an expert.
Professor Elliott was justified in
charging Mr.. Foster with being the au-
thor of the letter to ambassador Hay.
although it has been attributed to
Charles S. Hamlin. ex-secretary Of the
treasury, now associated with Mr. Fos-
ter in the fisheries negotiations as well
as to Professor Townsend Of the fish
commission and various other persons.
Mr. Foster viii undoubtedly at the
proper time and in the proper way ac-
knowledge the authorship Of the letter,
but at present It would be a fagrant
breach of official etiquette for him to
do so.

is almost wholly composed of chalk.
The island is about 10 miles in length
and abont 5 in breadth and has more

any other spot of equal area on the

there are not less than $4,000, 900, 900

A Reporter Bushes.

A good joke is related at the ex-
pense of modest young newspaper
man not many miles away. 1t is to
the effect that the pusher of the pen
Gil was sent out to report party the
other evening, where the home had
recently been blessed with new baby,
Accompanied by his best girl, he met
the hostess at the door, and after the
usual salutations asked after the
baby's health. The lady who was
quite deaf and suffering with grip,
thought he was talking about her
cold and told him that though she
usually had one every winter, that
was the worst she ever had; it kept
her awake at night good deal at
first and confued her to her bed.
Then noticing that the scribe was get
ting nervous, she said that she could
tell by his looks that he was going to
have one just like hers and asked
him to 90 in and sit down. The pa
per was out as usual the next week,
but the local editor has quit inquiring
about babies.

According to the report of the de-
partment of agriculture, the annual
product of our forests is valued at
s1.05S, $4,000. The combined annu-
al production of gold and silver from
the mines amount to $40, ,922 600.
The total value of the corn, wheat.
oats. barely, rye and buckwheat raised
in this country aggregate 81 ,O43,OO7,-

forests bring in greater revenue to
the people than the entire grain crops,
and yet fully half OF the trees cut are
