Farmers and Others.
The Department of Agriculture has been
extending its work during the past year,
reaching further for new varieties of seeds
and plants; cooperating more fully with
the States and Territories in research along
useful lines; making progress in meteoro-
logical work relating to lines of wireless
telegraphy and forecasts for ocean-going
vessels; continuing inquiry as to animal
disease; looking into the extent and char
acter of food adulteration; outlining plans
for the care, preservation and intelligent
harvesting of our woodlands; studying soils
that producers may cultivate with better
knowledge of conditions and helping to
clothe desert places with grasses suitable
to our arid regions. Our island possessions
are being considered that their peoples
may be helped to produce the tropical
products now so extensively brought into
the United States. Inquiry into methods of
improving our roads has been active during
the year; help has been given to many To-
c~alities, and scientific investigation of ma
terial in the States and Territories has been
.inaugurated. Irrigation problems In our
semi-arid regions are receiving careful and
increased consideration.
An extensive exhibit at Paris OF the
products of agriculture has made the peo-
pies of many countries more familiar with
the varied products of our fields and their
comparative excellence.
The collection of statistics regarding our
crops is being improved and sources of in
formation are being enlarged, to the end
vices regarding crop conditions. There has
never been a time when those for whom
it was established have shown more appre-
citation of the service of the department..

MISCELLANEOUS.
Alien Contract ~Law-Civil Service
Care of Public Records.

In my annual message of Dec. 5. 1898, /
called attention to the necessity for some
amendment of the alien contract law.
There still remain important features of
the rightful application of the eight-hour
principle of arbitration 'and I again COM
mend these subjects to the careful atten-
ton of the Congress.
That there may be secured the best
service possible in the Philippine islands,
I nave issued, under date of Nov. 10. 1900,
the following order: THE United States
Civil-service Commission is directed to
render such assistance as may be prac-
ticable to the Civil-service Board, created
under the act of the United States Philip
pine Commission for the establishment and
maintenance of an honest and efficient
civii-service in the Philippine islands, and
for that purpose to conduct tons
for the civil-service OF the Philippine
islands, upon the request of the Civil-serv-
ice Board of said islands. under such regu-
lations as may be agreed upon by the said
Board and the said United States Civil
service Commission
The Civil-service Commission is greatly
embarrassed in its work for want of an
adequate permanent force for clerical and
other assistance. Its needs are fuliy set
forth I'm its report. / invite attention to
the report, and especially urge upon the
Congress that this important bureau Of
the public service which passes upon the
qualifications and character of so large a
number OF the officers and employees of the
government should be supported ty all
needed appropriations 10 secure prompt
ness and efficiency.

menf made by the heads or all the depart
ments Of the urgent necessity OF a hall

the number of circuit judges in Marion
county TO five, abolishing the Superior and
Criminal Courts. and providing that each
Judge shall sit on the Criminal Court bench
committee which will report at the jan
uary meeting.
The committee having charge OF the pro-
posed amendments to the Constitution pro-
viding for an increased number of judges
Tor the Supreme Bench and in the qualifi-
cations OF attorneys for admission TO the
bar, reported that the Governor had only
announced the vote cast for and against
the amendments and also the total vote of
the State which did not mean that the
amendments were lost. It is believed by
members Of the association that the
carried and the committee
was instructed TO look after the matter
and see that the Legislature makes pro-
vision for the roposed amendments.

The Eel River Road.

If reports are true there are three COM
panies that desire to secure the Eel river
road, which is thrown on to the market
through the result of the appeal to the
Indiana Supreme Court as regards the
lease of the property to the Wabash.
Richard Roddell. who has judicial decree
to dispose of the property, states that 1t
is his intention to proceed with the sale.
Whether he will dispose of it subject to an
appeal to the United States Supreme
Court, or whether such appeal will delay
the contamination of his purpose, is not
stated. The best legal authorities have
from the beginning held to the belief that
the Wabash cannot win the case, and its
only object in appealing TO the United
States Supreme Court would be to gain
further delay pending the building of the
Fort Wayne & Butler road, which the
Wabash will either lease or operate when
constructed.

BOARD OF TRADE ACTION.
A Short Session Held Last Night-New
Member Elected,

The Board of Trade held a short session
last night. Hugh III. Hanna. jr.. was
elected a member to succeed the late ].
S. Pratt. A communication from the st.
Louis Merchants Association relative TO
the removal of war revenue stamps was
discussed, but no recommendation was
made. Secretary Gage, of the United
States Treasury. has already advised a
reduction of revenue and the matter was
so complicated that the board thought
best to take no positive action at this
time. y communicated from the National
Board of Trade fixed the date for the an
nual meeting of that body on Jan. -, in
Washington, d. c., and gave the local
president authority to appoint four dele
gates. The appointments will be made
later.

AT ROBERTS PARK.


The revival meetings at Roberts Park
Church still continue TO draw large congre-
cations, the church last night being filled
almost TO its doors. Evangelist Harrison
delivered one Of his usual ex~hortations. and
met with a hearty response in the large
number of people that focked around the
altar. His subject was the personal pro-
noun 81" and his remarks were so force
full and spoken with such fervor that the
whole congregation seemed to catch the
spirit of them and joined with him In max
ing the meeting one Of the best of the Sc
ries. Altogether there have been about $50
that ave gone at some time during the
meetings TO the mourners' bench and this,
coupled with the fact that there have been
many professed conversions. is not only a
personal qualification to Mr.. Harrison. bat
has led the board OF directors of the church
TO express themselves well pleased with
the results. The meetings will be brought
to a close Thursday night.

MORE SHIPS AND MEN.


Very efficient service has been rendered
by the navy in connection with the insur-
rection in the Philippines and the recent
disturbance in China.
A very satisfactory settlement has been
made of the long pending question of the
manufacture OF armor plate. A reasonable
price has been secured and the necessity
for a government armor plant avoided.
| approve of the recommendations OF the
secretary of the navy for new vessels and
for additional officers and men which the
required increase of the navy makes neces-
sary.
/ commend to the favorable action of the
Congress the measures now pending for
the erection of a statue to the memory
o. the late David d. Porter
/ commend also the establishment OF a
national naval reserve and of the grade
OF vice admiral.
Provision should be made as recommend
&c by the secretary for suitable rewards
for special merit. Many officers who rem
dered the most distinguished service dur
ing the recent war with Spain have re-
ceived in return no recognition from the
Congress-.

An Unwarranted Report.

The reported differences hat existed be-
tween the Meier & Co.'S overall factory
and the Garment Makers Union over the
use OF the union label, was investigated
by Organizer John L. Teltman, of Central
Labor Union, and Miss Lille Frederick,
president OF the Garment Makers Union,
yesterday and 1t was found that the report
was unwarranted. 1t was charged that
the company was using the union label and
not paying the scale. The two representa-
tives met Mr.. Meier and a comparison of
the wages paid tailed with the agreement,
and in some instances was above the
agreement.
