secretary of agriculture, said yester-
day:
IF the farmers of the country are

the department is simply complying
with an act of congress which is man.

AS the matter now stands, the duty
simply devolves upon us to render re.
ports accurate and reliable, and leaves
the responsibility OF their prOmulg ga

Until last year, for instance, the
estimate of the government was found
to be wholly reliable, and it was then
said that the farmers were the benef.

DIPLOMATIC CHANGES LIKELY

it can not be said that such a change
is now certain. The probability is that
Ambassador Meyer will remain at
Rome.
General PcTe!l Cl"vton, having de-
cidCd to reiinquish his post as ambaS-
sadOr to Mexico at the end of the
present administration, he will be sue
ceeded by Edward H. COnger, now
United States minister to China. 1t
is not expected that Mr.. Conger will
cOutinUe long at the Mexican capital,
as he is understood to intend to re-
turn to his home, state of Iowa, to be
a candidate for governor in succession
to Governor CumminS. When he leaves
the City of Mexico he will be succeed
ed by David Z. Thompson of Nebras-
ka, who at present is American min
lister to Brazil. Mr.. Thompson accept
ed the appointment to Brazil with
the understanding that he would be
appointed to a higher place in the
diplomatic service as soon as oppOrtu,
nifty affords. Mr. Conger will be sue,
ceeded at the court of Pellin by vii,
liam W. Rockhill, at present director
of the bureau of American republics
who is recognized as an authority on
all subjects pertaining to China.
John X. Gowdy, who was appointed
by President Mckinley as American
consul general at Paris, will be sue
ceeded by Frank H. Mason, now con
sui to Berlin. In succession to Mr.
Mason, John Lewis Griffths of In

1t is expected that some other
changes will be made in the corps Of
American ministers, but at this time
they are not Obtainable for publica
ton.
