Mexican Wheat.

The enactment of new law by the
Mexican congress which permits the
impor tation of seed wheat into that
country free of duty is attracting con-
siderable ttention of grain circles in
the United States, and is taken as an
indication that the Southern Repu bile
IL anxious to become factor among
wheat-producing countries.
Mexico has been gradually increas-
ing her production OF wheat for sew
eral years, and last year exported q
considerable quantity of the cereal.
There are very extensive tracts OF
land in that country which are parti-
cularly well fitted for the production
of wheat, both on account of the ma
ture of the soil and climatic condi-
tions.
Labor is extremely cheap, and
farmers are beginning to experiment
pretty generally with the culture Of
both wheat and corn.
G. NJ. Darlington, a prominent bust
ness man of the City of Mexico, who
has been visiting in ST. Louis, in
speaking of the resources OF Mexico,
said: 81 believe that wheat-grOw1Dg Is
destined to be one OF the chief resources
of Mexican agriculture, as the climate
is very favorable for growing soft win
ter wheat, and with the development
of the country, on account of the cheap,
ness of our labor, we will be able TO
compete with any country on the globe.
Our soil Is SO fertile that the yield per
acre is immense, aud we are not sub
iected to the uncertainties in regard to
freezing and thawing, or drought, that
has to be commended against in the
United States.
1--WE exported some wheat last year,
and the venture was so profitable that
the acreape will be largely increased
next season.
"When Mexico gets to growing both
wheat and corn, the United States will
not be shut out Of our markets for
these grains, but we will be able to
supply some of the Southern states
cheaper than they can buy wheat in

Although the author of ''.Jane Eyre
considered the author of Emma ga very
incomplete and rather insensibIe woman
she was certainly of her mind concerning
clothes when she packed James trunk on
the occasion of departure from LowOod to
Thornfeld, says a writer in Lippincott's.
There was the plain black frock which,
Though Quakerlike, at least had the
merit of fitting to a nicely" One clean
white tucker, the black silk of which Mrs.
Fairfax fastened for its owner on the oc-
easion of her first evening with Mr..
Rochester; the best dress of silver gray,
purchased for Miss Tenn ple's wedding, and
which was too fine to be worn Except on
first rate occasions" and the lilac ging-
ham in which she threatened to be mar
ried when Mr.. Rochester was bent on fol-
lowing the custom of the light novelists
We hear a vast deal concerning Miss In
grams clothes, and very queer ones they
were, almost confirming the early critics
in the suspicion that the author of "Jane
Eyre must be a man, since no woman
would array a lady in a morning gown of
sky blue Grape and twist an azure scarf in
her hair for brenkfast-but must confess
that have never seen what good the fine
clothes of this beauty did her. Certainly
it was the owner of the clean white tucker
who became Mrs. Rochester and whose
name, emblazoned in gold, shines forth on
our library shelves.

n. Y. DEFENSES COMPLETE.
The Estimate for Fortifcations Is Cut
AWAY Down in the Bill


Washington, Feb. 3.-The house, after
three days spent on the District of Co.
lumbia apprOpria ton bill, mostly in polit-
ical discussion, passed the measure yes
terday and then took up the bill to pros
vide fortifcations and coast defenses fol
the country.
Mr.. Hemenway (Rep., Ind.), in charge
of the bill, explained its provisions. The
estimates of the department for fortif1>
cations and other works of defense, arma-
ment, etc, were $13.71S,771, while the
amount carried by the bill was but s4,-
IA, 912 In discussing the harbor defense
works erected under this policy, Mr. Hem
enway stated that the defense of New
York harbor was complete. He quoted
the chief of ordnance as having said to
him that not enough war vessels could
now enter the harbor in the face of the
present defense system to materially dams
age the city.
1t is arranged that the general debate
should close today at o'clock.
Mr.. Underwood (Dem., Ala) criticised
the fortifcations bill because it did not
provide for the Inauguration of defense
works at the harbors along the coast or
the Gulf of Mexico. Mobile harbor would
be the first harbor entered by the Spanish
fleet if we should be involved in a war
with Spain.
Mr.. Mcclellan Dem, N. V also criti-
cised the bill.
At p. m. the house adjourned.

M'KINLEY LIKES 1T.
Is Pleased With the Suggestion of a
Department of Industry.

Washington, Feb. "a joint commit

Chicago, president of the National
Business league; Theodore G. Search
of Philadelphia, president of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
and John w. Ella, of Chicago, counsel
of the National Business league have
had an interview with the president in
the interest of the proposed department
of commerce and Industries. The com
mittee represented to the president the
general concensus of opinion which they
had obtained in favor of the proposed
department and requested the president
to issue a special message favoring leg
islatiOn in that direction. 1t is under
stood that no definite reply was made
by the president, but there seems to be
a general understanding that he is in
sympathy with the movement and win
take such action as he deems proper in
furtherance of it.
These gentlemen have also arranged
with the interstate commerce commits
sion of the house to have a hearing be-
fore that committee on Friday at which
hearing they will lay before that com
mittee the results of the CORES Ondence

The spirited confabs between Mr.

son, OF Kansas, are not entirely without
precedent. The two had an Interchange
OF words last summer during the con-
Slderat1On in the house of the DingleV
bill. There was a provision in that
measure, allowing logs. cut on Ameri-
can soil, to be dOated down water

and back again. The provision was in
tended for the benefit of Maine lumber
men, who operate on the headwaters of
the St Croix river. That river, on its
way to the sea, forms the boundary line
between the state of Maine and the
province of New Brunswick, so that
