Notes From WASHINGTON
From Our Regular Correspondents

From Our Regular CORRESPONDENT
The House of Representative this
week re.enacted the old and wea-
ther beaten legislation providing
for the distribution of free seeds by
the Department of Agriculture \
This expenditure does not amount
to very much. 1t is an appropria-
ton for 1898, 600 to be expended in
field and garden seeds that are
afterwards put up by the govern
ment and distributed in small pack
ages to members of Congress.
Each member is entitled to $4,000
packets of nominal value of cents
each. These are sent out under
government franks to the constitu-
ents of the members. and are sup
posed to have some little affect in
impressing the rural constituents
with the fact that CHS Congress-
man" remem bers his name and ad-
dress and consequently is more or
less of personal friend. Seedsmen
all over the country have been fight
ing this system of free distribution
for many years. Naturally it hurts
their business about 1898, 900 worth.
There was this year great effort
made to do away with the free seed
distribution and make the same ap-
preparation available for the pur-
chase and distribution Of "rare and
valuable seeds,' thus leaving the
sale of common seeds in the hands
OF firms who make business of it.
This change in the free seed Law
was recommended by the House
Committee on Agriculture and there
was every reason to suppose that
like most recommended pills it
would 90 through without trouble,
but the House calmly rejected the
recommendation, and put in the old
appropriation just as it has existed
for the past forty years.
The explanation of this action
seems almost too small to credit,
yet it is this. Many of the members
vino are entitled to their quota Of
II, 1000, 600 packets of seeds are men
from city districts who have little
call to distribute flower seeds at all,
but instead of failing to call for their
quota, they all draw the 100000
packets and then the members who
do not want the seeds sell them to
the members who do. congressman
before the Agricultural Committee
who are in the habit Of sending out
from 10000 to so, 900 packets of
seeds admitted that they bought the
extra packets from young men
around the Capitol VINO made a
business of selling them. The re-
gulation price seemed to be cent
packet. which would make just q
little graft Of $500 for each member
who sold his entire quota, and less
than that for members who sold only
part of it, Such a proceeding
seems almost to small too credit but
it is true none the less, and the
proof lies in the fact that free seed
appropriation has been put through
the House as usual in the face OF the
Committed recommendation.

upon. Re
1t was only short time previous to
this that Japan launched at one of her
own shipyards the 1920 ton battleship
Satsuma larger ship than any our
own navy at present contains. In fact.
the Satsuma is heavier by 1,200 tons
than even the much vaunted British
battleship, the Dreadnought, whose
launching not so very long ago CAUSED
futter in every navy department in
the world. Up to the time the Satsuma
was launched the Dreadnought had no
rival for size and armament in any
quarter of the globe Now Japan takes
the lead, but she will not hold it long.
as the two 10000 ton ships authorized
by our own government win put the
United States ahead, so far as having
the biggest ships is concerned. OF
course the British navy, taking it as q
whole, will still be greater than our
own when the total armament possess
ed by its many vessels is considered.
The United States has about half
dozen battleships either already afoat
or nearing completion which approach
the Dreadnought IN tonnage. The
Louisiana and her sister ship. the Con-
necticut, have each tonnage of 1900.
which comes within 400 OF the tonnage
Of the British sea fighting monster.
Twenty million dollars are made avail
able for the construction Of the two
new battleships by the provisions Of
the. naval appropriations bill which re-
Gently passed congress. The total
! amount OF the appropriations carried
in the bill is about $100,000000. The
bill was steered through the house OF
representatives by Congressman George

affairs committee, who said in the de
bate that nations which advocated dis
armament must be judged by their acts
England, he said, though In favor Of
peace conferences, was building foul
