AMERICAN BUTTER GOES.
Soils With the Best Danish Butter in
the London Market

Washington, Sept. 15.-The secretary
of agriculture has received complete re-
ports from the third experimental ship
ment of butter to London by this de-
partment.
This consisted of a lot of Minnesota
creamery butter in Sc pound boxes and
tubs and lot of MaSSac husetts cream
cry butter in small tubs, family pack
ages and fancy prints. The export was
made in June. 1t cost 21a cents pound
TO carry the butter from Central Min
nesOta to London, by the single ton
with the best refrigerator accommoda-
tons all the way excepting short trans
fers.
sachusetts cost rather more because of
the absence of a refrigerator car line
to New York and the necessity of pay
ing expreSsage.
This butter was all placed by the de-
partment agent in London in the hands
of retail dealers. They paid from Is to
1919 cents per pound for it, the same
butter being then worth Is cents in New
York.
The wholesale price of Danish butter
was about. 20 cents in London at that
time. 1t was retailed to consumers at
"a, Is and 20 cents per pound, most of
it at &c cents This was the same as
the retail price of the best Danish,
which leads the London market for salt
ed butter.
The retailers upon being convinced of
the high quality of the states butter,
paid the same price for II in TUBS as in
the favorite Australian or cubical box.
Six different dealers took the Minnesota
butter at uniform price of Is 1-5 cents
per pound. 1t cost about 16 cents deliv
cred to these London dealers. The
Massa chusettS butter was of equal
quality, and although some of it sold
to dealers at 1912 cents, the small pack
ages were not liked by the trade. This
butter was worth 20 cents for local sale
in the neighborhood where made. Thus
as in other cases the western creamery
butter was sold at fair profit, over
cents per pound, while the New Eng
land creamery butter was sold in Lon
don at less than it would have brought
at home.
The London retailers margin of profit
-615 to 10 cents, and about Z cents on
an aVera ge-waS too great. The con-
sumner paid twice as much for the Min

BALTIMoRRs PENNANr AGAIN
The Orioles Now Have an Almost Safe
Lead Over Boston.

Baltimore Sept. 15.-The base ball
season for 1897 is now about over Sum
day, October g. will see the closing
games, and on that day the tBaltimores
will again be crowned as champions.
The Orioles two victories over the Chi
Cages practically gives that team the
pennant for the fourth consecutive
year.
Their playing all season has been of
the gilt-edge variety, and in the face
of accidents to Jennings, McGraw, Rob
inson and several other members of the
team, they have played at a winning
gait all the time, and are now ten points
ahead of the Bostons, their nearest COM
petitOrS.

LANGLEY WHARF.
The Controversy Over II Again Be-
fore Appellate Court
Funds Received From Sale With Excep-
tiOn OF One-Fifteenth to Be Paid Out.

The famous Langley wharf controversy
of Newport was again brought to the at
tention of Judges Stiness and Tllinghast,
who sat in the Appellate Court today.
The wharf property was sold under de-
cree Of the court in February and the sale
was an agreeable surprise on account
of the sum realized TO Colonel Samuel X.
Honey the owner Of one-eighteenth of
the property and who had been somewhat
Of an agitatOr in regard TO its affairs.
There was no attack made on the sale
today nor directly on the funds, the mat
ter was before the court on the petition
Of Henry Is. Thayer, George LaDgdon
Thayer Mary Ellen Thayer and Marie
Snow Thayer who represented that they
were entitled to one-ffteenth OF the fund
secured from the sale OF the wharf
property. They approved of the sale and
Of all the proceedings in the case but
represented that their mother, who was
sister of John ;. Langley, made deed
which they now claim To be defective and
that they are entitled To one of the two
fifteenths of the fund which the court by
decree had directed should DO paid TO John
;. Langley, their uncle. They are not
residents and claim they knew nothing of
the sale until the 9th OF the present
month.
Colonel Honey stated the petitioners
side OF the case and incidentally gave
brief history of tho wharf and of the
Langley family saying he had relied on the
attorneys for John >. Langley being
acquainted with the history of the
latter's family.
Walter +. Angel, who was associated
with William II. Sheffield, Jr.. of New
port suggested that one-fifteenth of the
proceeds of the sale remain in the custody
of the court and that the court decide to
whom il belongs.
suggestion, saying that was lust what ho
wanted. After brief discussion il was
decided that John c. Pegram, the master
who had charge.of the sale, should paw out
the funds in his hands except the fifteenth
in dispute and this he should retain until
the court decided To whom il belonged.
