$3.75 to 5000, Jugs run from S2.2S
to $500, and trash from S1.5O to
$500.
There was full beard of buyers
in attendance.
In Robertson County.
A dispatch from Springfield,
Tenn, says:
The farmers in this county are
very much exercised over the to
bacco situation, as almost two
thirds of the crop is hanging in the
barns unsold. Those few who
have been so fortunate as to sell
can't get good season TO strip out.
the recent rains making 1t too cool
for the weed to come in case. Prices
are much lower than last year and
farmers say that they are as able
to let their tobacco hang in the barn
as they are to give it away. Very
few are making any preparations
for another crop, and it is needless
to say that the crop will be cut
very short in old Robertson another
year.
A great deal of interest is being
taken in the bill introduced at the
present session of Congress by Con-
gresham Gaines bearing upon the
tobacco situation, and should this
become a law the people of the
county feel that great good will be
accomplished; that this will thwart
the trust and then tobacco will
bring its worth upon the market.
At greensboro.
The Messenger says:
Eighty loads of tobacco were sold
at the auction house Monday at
prices which producers say are be-
low the cost of production The
average price is little better than
3 cents for the variour grades. The
fact that 1t is going below the cost
of production is due, at least, to a
large extent, to the poor quality of
the offerings. AS matter of fact,
the cost of producing given guam
tity of poor tobacco is as great as
the cost of producing the same
amount of good quality. AS
consequence, the man who produces
poor tobacco gets little or nothing
for his labor. The offerings yes
terday were unusually poor. AS
one buyer expressed it, Every
thing was the matter. with it. 1t
was thin and short and green, and
generally all of it was either too
dry or too wet. A few loads were
offered and were disposed of at cor
respondingly fair prices. One load
brought SIS for leaf and others were
nearly as good.
On the whole, the condition of the
market is not very encouraging
either to the producer or the mer-
chant. The farmer is hardly get
ting enough out of his crop to live
on while the merchant, if he buys
at all, is loading himself up with in
ferior goods that will be hard to
dispose of. Men who have hereto
fore been of the opinion that the
poorest tobacco was offered at the
beginning of the season are shaken
in their belief. The indications
are that the crop, as whole, is not
as good as was thought few weeks
ago.

RED CROSS PROPERTY.
Miss Barton Transfers Title Which
She Held IN Her Ozcn Name.
rFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington. June 2-Of1ciaI record was made
yesterday of the transfer by Miss Clara Barton
to Charles A Baker and Samuel ". Briggs, 'in
trust for the use and benefit Of the American
National Red Cross" OF four building lots in
this city for a consideration Of SO. The actual
value Of the lots is estimated to be approx-
mately $4,000. This transfer is cited by the
remonstrants in proof of their contention that
the affairs of the Red Cross have been managed
on anything but a business basis. It is also
pointed to by the friends of Miss Barton
proving the absolute recttude of the woman
who has long been president of the associa-
ton.
The facts appear to be as follows: Some years
ago Miss Barton had in hand balance from
the Johnstown flood relief fund Having no
immediate use for the balance she determined
to invest it in real estate and selected the lots
now transferred to trustees of the Red Croe3.
She relates that the balance was insufficient to
pay for the lots, and she supplied the defcieaE
from her own purse. having the lots decided to
herself. No record of the transaction ever ap-
peared on the books of the association. and had
Miss Barton died the property would inevitably
have been regarded as part Of her estate, al
though such would not of course, have been her
intention. No mention Of this property was
made in the four reports since made to Con-
gress purporting to exhibit the assets Of the
organization.
When Miss Barton resigned the presidency
she promptly transferred the property to the
Red Cross, although there was no evidence that
it did not rightfully belong to her. The property
has doubled IN value several times since the
purchase was made, q stone quarry having been
developed thereon, and its present value largely
accounts for the discrepancy between the assets
OF the Red Cross, as shown by its books, and
as indicated by Miss Barton in her valedictory.
II is admitted by Miss Barton's friends that she
never appreciated the necessity Of separating
her personal accounts from those of the
accounts
E1-Secretary Of State John W Foster is be-
ing mentioned for the presidency of the re-
organized Red Cross. Admiral Dewey has been
asked TO go on the new board of trustees, and
General Miles will probably be member. hut
no information regarding the personnel of the
remaining ten members is yet available.

Pittsburg viii have the title of Special AS
sistant Attorney General
The charges and counter charges made against
the government officials IN Alaska have been
source Of worry to the Department Of Justice
for many years It is not an exaggeration 70
say that no man has ever served as judge, dis
trict attorney or marshal Of any court in the
Territory who has not been charged with some
thing or other before the department Lately
the shafts have been aimed at Judge Melvills
c. Brown, OF the First District; Judge James
VVickersharn. Of the Third, and Governor Brady.
Judges Brown and Wickersham will retire on
June 6, unless they are reappointed, and it is
possible that many OF the unkind things said
about them were inspired by the men who
would like to see them retire to private life and
have the places filed by their own followers.
Attorneys representing many OF the big mining
ana transportation companies assert that these
Judges have used their Offices for private gain,
mainly through tying up" the concerns with
unnecessary receiverships. Governor Brady is
not charged with any moral turpitude. but is
opposed by a large number Of persons in the
Territory, who say that he is too conservative,
is not progressive, and 'cares more for the
birds and fishes than he does for improvements
that will benefit the people"
Judge Alfred S. Moore, the third judge in
Alaska IS not under suspicion, but his court
Will coma under Mr.. Young's scrutiny with the
other two. Charges have been preferred against
Judge Moore-s clerk, a man named BOrchenius.
