against John A. Mccall that they have
taken since the exposure of evils within
the company was was first made. They
adopted resolutions late yesterday, for
bidding him, or any other executive Of
fcer, to. make paymentsSof the Andy
Hamilton kind without the sanction Of
the trustees. They also directed that
an investigation Of all dealings between
Hamilton and the New York Life be
made and appropriate action be taken
when all the facts have been learned.
Today is the date fixed by John A.
Mccall for the payment Of all the
moneys owing to the New York Life
by Andy Hamilton. Until Hamilton
settles Mccall is under pledge to pay
the money out Of his own private funds

WEALTH OF FARMS.
REPORT OF SECRETARY WILSON
OF AGRICULTURAL DEPT.
Farms Produced $6,415,o 1000, ooo-Stu-
pendous Sum the Record for Any
Country for Single Year-Agricul-
ture in United States Shows Marvel
GUS Wealth of Nation.

wealth production on the farms OF
the United States in 1905 reached the
highest amount ever attained in this
or any other country-$6, SALE, 900, OOO."
In the first annual report of his third
term Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
presents an array of figures and q
statement representing the products
and profits of the farmers of this coun-
try, which he admits dreams OF
wealth production could hardly equal. "
Four crops make new high records
as to value-corn, hay, wheat and rice
although in amount of production
the corn crop is the only one that ex-
ceeds previous yields. In every crop
the general level of production was
high and that of prices still higher.
Besides the enormous yield OF
wealth. the secretary estimates thai
the farms of the country have in
creased in value during the past five
years to present aggregate of $6,l33,
100000.
Every sunset during the past tiyt
years." he says has registered an IN
crease of $3,400000 in the value of thu
farms of this country"
This increased value, the secretar.
suggests, is invested better than II
bank deposits and gilt edged bonds o
private corporations.
The method of handling crop re
, ports, he says, has been thorough
renovated during the year. There ais
has been a decided change in tn
methods of work prescribed for feel
: agents. Each agent is now confine
. to a definite group of states, wit
which it becomes thoroughly familis
by travel each month.
:, Analysing the principal crops for til
!, year, the secretary says that cor
reached its highest production
! 2,70S, 100000 bushels, a gain of $4,000
- 600 bushels over the next highest yea
y 1899; hay is second in order of valu
= although cotton held second place du
n ing the two preceding years.
The hay crop this year is valued

CHANGE FOR TWO KINGDOMS.
Korea and Norway Both Changed
Control.


The past week has been an eventful
one for two of the smaller nations OF
the world. Korea has passed under
Japanese protection and control, and
Norway has resumed her ancient rank
among the independent kingdoms.
The Korean emperor remains the
head of the Hermit empire, but the
real authority will be exercised by a
Japanese administrator.
Had Russia won in that war Korea
would have become a Russian prov
ince. Japan having won, it becomes a
Japanese protectorate.
Under the resascence in Norway
that kingdom will have an opportunity
to pursue the paths of her own choos'
ing and to work out her own individ
ual destiny, which she was not able
to do when united with Sweden. Hell
king has been welcomed to his throne
by his people and has been felicitateo
on his accession by the rulers of Other
nations. That there is no unfriendly
feeling with Sweden is manifested by
the announcement that King Haakon's
first formal visit will be to the kint
of Sweden. Let the revived kingdom
have peace and prosperity is the wisf
of the world.

THEISTHMIAN CANAL
ENGINEERS ESTIMATE The COST
At $23O,OOO,OOO.
Boards of Consulting Engineers De-
clare for Sea Level Canal-lt Means
Some Delay. Ime Required to Fin
ish Ditch at Panama Will Be More
Than Ten Years.

Washington.-The board of consult
ing engineers of the isthmian canal
commission has declared itself by a
large majority in favor of a sea level
canal. The conclusion was reached
after a long and careful study of the
projects.
Since the beginning of September
the board had held meetings and in
special subcommittee had studied the
plans for sea level canal with the
greatest care.
A trip to Panama was made to
enable the members to form better
idea of the physical difficulties which
had to be considered. The members
of the board are men of the greatest
reputation in their line of work. Ger
many, France and Holland had sent
their most eminent specialists at the
request of this government. At the
beginning it was evident that major
ity of these members were in favor
of a sea level canal. Their point OF
view was that even if it cost more
than a lock canal, and would take
longer in the building, it would ulti-
mately be of greater use, as it will
enable ships to make much quicker
trip than if they were obliged to go
through three or four locks.
On the other hand was minority
which wanted to see the canal built
, in as short a time as possible and
! with the least cost, declaring that a
faw hours longer for the triD through
, the isthmus made little or no differ
: ence.
No official statement will be given
n out before the decision reaches Presi-
J, dent Roosevelt, ABOUT January.
S Will Cost $3.50, 900.
The cost of the sea level canal al
- Panama is estimated by the board
h of consulting engineers at about $3.50,
100000 Although this amount seems
T much larger than the amount neces
" sary with the construction of loci
n canal, it is claimed by the advocates
h of the sea level plan to be in realit.
k only comparatively slightly higher.
Is was pointed out in the meetings o
" the board that the lock canal woul
is necessitate between s30,000,0 900 an
rs $40, O0O, 900 payment for the privat
grounds and the lands belonging t
the republic of Panama which woul
be inundated by the lock system. Thi
item in view of the majority of tn
" board, is entirely done away with b
- the adoption of the sea level canal.
