SECRETARY WILSON'S REPORT
Work OF the Governments Agricultural De-
partmenE-Diseases OF Live Stock
Our Foreign Markets

Washington, Nov. 30.-The annual
report of Secretary Wilson, of the
agricultural department, made public
yesterday, begins with a compliment
tary reference to the work of his
predecessors, which has brought the
department to its present state of eff
fciency.
During the quarantine season of
1899 over 100000 cattle were moved
under the supervision of the bureau
from the district infected with the
southern cattle tick. In Texas alone
over 357,O OO cattle were inspected for
shipment to other sections. The sheep
industry suffered greatly from sheep
scab, and much time and attention
have been given to securing its control
and eradication. Results so far are
encouraging and the secretary be-
ieves that few more years of ear
nest work will effectually eradicate
the disease.
Secretary Wilson cites the introduce
ton of wheats from Russia, Hungary
and Austria, greatly exceeding in
yield our present varieties, and points
out that if, as the result of these in
Productions. the wheat yield of the
United States should be increased by
but one bushel per acre. this would
mean at the farm price for wheat in
1899 an edition of see, 900 to the
income OF our farmers.
Under the head of the section of for
eign markets the report says that the
study of markets abroad with special
reference to extending the demands
therein Tor the agricultural products
of the United States has been prose-
cuted with zeal and intelligence. The
rapid growth of our export trade to
the orient in recent years is most
striking. Five years ago our total
shipments of domestic merchandise to
Asia and Oceanicn were valued at
$40, 600, 900, of which only 50 700, 900
were agricultural. In 1900 our export
trade with the orient amounted to
$1O7 100000, of which 10000, 900 worth
was from products.

San Francisco, Nov. 3O.-As result
of the most horrible catastrophe tha5
ever occurred in San Francisco -
people were killed and fully SO badly
injured oy the collapse of the roof of
the Pacific glass works on Fifteenth
street. About rs people fell through
the roof upon the red hot furnaces
and glass watts below. All were hor
ribly burned and it is feared that in
addition to ID deaths already re-
ported there will be several more.
Two hundred people. all men and
boys, had gathered on the sheet iron
-0Of of the glass works to obtain a
tree view of the annual football game
between Stanford and the University
of California. About 20 minutes after
the game commenced there was a
crash, plainly audible from the foot
ball grounds, and a portion of the
crowd on the roof went down to
horrible death below. The fires in
the furnaces had been started for the
first time yesterday and the watts were
full of liquid glass. It vas upon these
that the victims fell Some were
killed instantly and oil ers were slow.

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.


j. B. Tomlinson, warden of the pen
itentiary, has delivered his biennial
report to the governor. When he
went into Office he found a deficienc.y
of $1,729, which he recommends that
the Legislature pay. OF his own ap-
preparation for two years he will turn
back into the treasury $1,O83. He
wants telephone and fire alarm sys-
TENS established, and asks an appro-
priation of $4,000 for repairs and i'm
provements, among others cold
storage plant and a new cell room.
the latter 70 cost $4,000. Since the
establishment of the binding twinc
plant in the prison he has sold $780,
1856 worth of Irvine and has $1,000
worth on hand. There are not suf1i-
-cient accommodations at Lansing for
officers and employees, and since the
prison has the stone, brick and labor,
he suggests that the state build a
few cottages.

Kansas Narural Gas Waning.

F. G. Lottercr, proprietor of one of
the large brick factories in the Kan
sas gas field, says the natural gas of
the Kansas field is so rapidly exhaust
ing that, unless new developments are
made, the supply will be insufficient
for the operation of the factories soon.
Mr.. Lotterer located a few years ago
at Cherryvale and had a fine supply of
gas. His wells have gone entirely
dry as a result of such heavy pull
ing by his and other factories, nd
he is now buying gas from a pipe
line at the rate of rs cents for every
1000 brick he burns. The capacity of
his factory is 10000 per day.

Edward White, of Wyandotte
county, was implicated in dishonor-
abble business transaction in Kansas
City, Mo-, recently, and failed to ap-
pear in court to stand trial. White
was former soldier of company b,
Twentieth Kansas volunteers. With
William B. Trembley he swan the Rio
Grande in the Philippines, carrying
rope across in the face of the enemy
so that the troops could be ferried
over. This heroic deed caused White
and Trembley to be mentioned in the
dispatches.

Gov. Stanley has addressed letters
to governors of states where the death
penalty is not inflicted to ascertain
whether mob violence is increasing.
If he finds that it is, he says that he
will recommend the restoration of
capital punishment in Kansas. There
now are 40 prisoners in the peni Cen
tiary under death sentence. Stan
ley's idea is to relieve the governor of
responsibility, allowing the sheriff to
carry out the sentence of the court.

Kansas Producrlon of Coal.

The 1899 product of coal in Kansas
was 3,652,267 short tons, with a spot
value of STATS, f12. It was the largest
in the history of the state, both in
amount and value. The working
time lost by reason of strikes in 1899
amounted to about five per cent. of
the total time made. One strike
lasted but three days, one lasted 300
days, ten lasted between 80 and 90
days.

It was announced that V. Y. Sab

Elm, had been practically ruined by
losses of bets on the recent election,
he having taken the Bryan end of
several thousand dollars of wagers. It
was charged that he even lost about
5000 of stake money which was up

that Babcock had fed the country.

The announcement OF the popula

county officers there. The county

Guarding the State treasury.

Following the lead of Gov. Stanley
all the other state officers are recon-
mending in their reports the necessity
of economy by the Legislature this
winter. Already the heads of the
several state institutions have recon-
mended appropriations for more build
ings, but if the governor and his asso-
ciates have their way every grant
of money will be cut down to the
minimum

Gov. Stanley will take up the Klon-

John Williams, a Lawrence boy, has
returned from years service in the
Boer army. He went from Lawrence

With the exception of the last dec
ade, the growth of Kansas has been
marvellous. The greatest numerical
growth was in the ten years previous
to 1880, when the gain was 631, 697,
or 1885 per cent, the total popula-
ton being 996,O96. The next largest
numerical gain was during the decade
