In 1900 the state grain inspec-
ton cost $50, 5o7 Al more than un-
der the last Republican admins
tration; yet there were more cars
inspected in 1898.
The binding Irvine plant at Still
water cost 1858, Ioo.61 for the year
ending July 81, 1900, as against
$3I6, 539.16 for the year ending
July 81, 1899
The reports show that the Irvine
plant had on hand, at the end of
the season, I,I75,53e lbs. OF sisal
for which it paid almost three cents
above the market price and, that
although it sold Irvine to the farm
ers at two or three cents more than
jobbers' prices, it cannot dispose
of this surplus stock except at a
loss.
The per capita cost of state in
situations steadily decreased under
Republican management, but when
the 'sreform" came into power al
the close of 1898, this decrease
stopped and there was an increase
in the cost of the charitable and
correctional institutions.

Hope for an Agreement.

Washington. Dec. 3.-Administration
officials continue sanguine that the
ministers of the powers at Pekin will
soon reach a common ground of agree
mcht in the demands to be made upon
the Chinese imperial government in
satisfaction for the Boxer outrages,
The State Department is in commune
cation with the ministers and ambas-
sadors of the United States to the Eu-
ropean courts and advices which have
come from them from time to time lead
the officials here to hope that the pow
ers will be brought to the position
maintained by the United States in
dealing with the Chinese. viz: That
there should not be demands made
upon the imperial government which
it is not able to fulfill.
Our government has persistentIy held
to this view in the progress of the ne
gotiatiOnS between the ministers at
Pekin and if the principle of this con-
tention can be maintained in the COM
bincd note to be handed to the Chinese
plenipotentiarics a decided advantage
will be had at the start
