A ud a Review oi Its Condition During
the Panic?llio Secretary of Agriculture,
in His Report, Ilecommends
a Change in tlio System Governing
the State Experiment Stations?Be
Favors Taking the Protective
Tariff Off ol' Farm Products.
WASHtxaTOK, D. C,, Nov. 26.?United
Statos T-ioasurerD. Morgan has submitted
to Secretary Carlisle bis annual
report on tho operations and conditions
ot tho treasury. It shows that
the net ordinary revenues lor the fiscal
year 1893 wore $385,819,628, an increase
ot $30,881,844 over those of the year bofore.
The net ordinary expenditures
were $383,447,554,011 increase of $38,454,023.
There was, therefore, a decreaso
oi $7,772,779 in tho surplus revenues, reducing
them to $2,341,674 Including
tlio public debt, the total receipts were
$732,871,214, and the total expenditures
$773,007,998. The public funds amounted
on June 30,1892, to $746,548,055. Alter
sotting apart those sums of gold, silver
anil I'm tod States notes which were
held for the redemption of certificates
oi deposit and treasury notes, there was
left a reserve or general fund of $187,012,740
in 1892 and $168,167,391 in 1893.
i'heso amounts, however, included cortain
sums of certificates of deposit,
lionds and coupons, which were unavailable
for any other pnrpose than
tlicsottlementoi the treasurer's account,
and which, if cancelled, would have left
an actual available working balance of
$165,945,886 and $150,295,696 on the two
dales respectively.
By September 30, this balance had
. j; ??.i ?. ffi.inoi:no(ia
ilGOU uiiutuiauuu 1<J mi/is, uniu(;
toadeficicncy in the revenues. In seven
months, beginning with lost December,
upwards of SSI,000,000 was drawn oat of
the treasuryin redemption of notes, and
the gold reserve was reduced daring
the same period by $29,000,000. Daring
tho next mouths, with licht redemptions
and a deficiency of $19,000,000 in
the revenue, tbe treasury lost $15,000,000
of gold, but tho reserve fell ofl only
Sl',000,000.
THE BOLD SITUATION.
The amount of gold exported during
tho liscal year waa tho largest ever
taken out of the country or brought
into it in a like period, being upwards
tif $100,000,000, and that $102,000,000 of
it was drawn out of the treasury by the
premutation of legal tender notes.
Most of ths gold exported in former
years was supplied by tho treasury in
exchange for gold certificates, and the
report says it is the first time that any
considerable soma of notes have been
presented for tbe metal.
With the exception of an increase of
*15,500,000 in the amount of treasury
notes isBUod in the pnrchaso of silver
bullion and a decrease of $80,000,000 in
tbe combined volume of gold certificates
and currency certificates, thoro has been,
the report says, no important chango in
the public debt.
According to the revised estimate the
total stock of monoy of all kinds in the
country on June 30 was $2,322,557,977,
or nearly $51,000,000 less than at tho
same time last year, This contriictibn
took place notwithstanding the addition
of $45,500,000 to tho stock of silver, and
an increase of $6,000,000 in tbe outstanding
bank notes, and was caused by the
exports of gold. In July, however,
there began a heavy roturn movement
of the metal supported by a rapid expansion
of the bank note circulation.
By tho end of September the stock of
gold was restored to what it was when
' ' * TKa tnful innvanaa
Hit U4(IU>Va UV^UU. *?U ?/ ? hiviumuu
of tho effective stock of money in the
three months wag no lowor than $95,(100,000,
bringing it up to a fieuro much
above tho highest ever rcached before.
Too treasurer remarks that this suddon
contraction and expansion within the
spaco of eleven months afford* a striking
illustration of the decree of flexibility
possessed by the currency.
HOSE* IN' CIKCCHTIOX.
Tho revised figures for tho amount of
monoy in circulation, that is, outsido
of the treasury, on June 30 places it at
$1,590,840,829, or about $0,000,000 less
than it was a year before. During tho
four months ended with October there
was an increase of $125,000,000, a record
altogether without parallel in tho historv
of the country.
lho redemptions of United States
paper currency have been unusually
iieavy, amounting to $377,000,000 in tho
fiftonn months ended with October.
During the past two fiscal yearn thero
was recoined nearly one-fifih part of
tho whole estimated stock of tho subsidiary
silver, an improvement, the report
says, that is expected to increase
the popularity and usefulness of this
part of the curroncv. Contrary to expectations,
the Columbian souvenir
coins have not proved popular. Some
of them were never taken out of the
treasury, and others have been returned
ior redemption. An arrangement has
boon in contemplation under which tho
lull dollars in tho treasury will bo rejoined
at the expense of the management
of the exposition. It has not yet
boon decided what disposition is to be
made of the quarter dollars of this
coinage not disposed of.
Although the nominal amoutit of
counterfeit coins and paper currency
presented at the treasury was greater
than in tbe previous year, the increase
was lets proportionately than the increase
of the amount of monoy handled.
Considerable additions were made to
the bonds held in trust for natioual
banks and f?r tbo Pacific railroad sinking
fund.
l'lio treasurer concludes by urging
t hut the vaults and safes in his oQice bo
put in better condition in accordance
with recommendations mado in tbe report
of the commission appointed to investigate
the present methods of this
kind of construction.
AU UIOULTUKAI, DEPARTMENT.
Ths Srrretarj'a Annual Report?Impor(ant
Kcoomineudnttout.
Washinotox, D. C., Nov. 20.?The
' uotary o( agriculture, in big report
just submitted to the President, regrets
tho vaguo character oi the department
organization, which, ho says, "offers
opulent opportunities for the exercise
of the most pronounced paternalism,"
but. he adds that there nro many proper
ways in irbich the federal government
may legitimately serve the cause of
agriculture. He devotes considerable
spneo to a review of what he regard*
as an anomoloua partnership botween
the government of tbe United Stales
and the government of tho respective
slates for the conduct and encouragement
of stato agricultural colleges and
experiment stations. Referring to the
sum appropriated for the use of state
experiment stations he eaya: "This anpropriation
is unlike any other public
moneys legislated out of the treasury
bocauso there is no officer of the
United States authorized to direct,
limit, control or audit its itomized cxpendisure."
lie suggests that tho stations ahould
be entirely divorced from the departmentand
thesum appropriated charged
diroctly to them, or that tho secretary
should have somo power to direct and
restrain thoirdisbursemonts so as to inBuro
a legitimate expenditure of tho
eaino. Ho adds that in view of rumors
that have obtained credence in some of
tho states anil territories to the effect
that money appropriated to the sta
lions Dave been diverted from their legitimate
public purposes, a thorough
investigation should be made to demonstrate
either the truth or falsity of
such reports.
CECT1XO DOWN EXPKSSES.
In reforenco to expenditures, the secretary
states that his stromtous endeavor,
in view of a depleted public
treasury and of the imperative demands
of tar-payers for economy in the administration
of tho government, has
been to "rationally reduce expenditures
by the elimination from the pay rolls of
all persons not neoded for an efficient
conduct of tho affairs of tho department."
lie gives the number of employes
when he took the charge as 2,497, and
statos that there are now on tho pay
rolls only 1,99-1, a reduction of 505.
lie presonts a table giving the appropriations
for tho current fiscal yoar and
his estimates for next year, allowing n
net saving in his estimates over tho appropriation)
for the current year of
$369,850 94.
The work of the bureau of animal industry
is reviewed in considerable detail,
each otio of its principal features
beiug briefly considered. The result of
thrt Tnrnia fnvcr rPL'lllations is nro
nounced to bo highly satisfactory; bat
to increa<*o thoir efficiency it is suggested
that a ponalty shoulil attach for
violation of the department regulations
by railroad companies transporting infected
cattle.
Further recommendations in the
work of tho bureau aro for the legislation
compelling the immediato destruction
of any animal condemned, for an
extension of the work in regard to tuberculosis
in co-operation with local authorities
until danger to human life has
been reduced to a minimum, and for a
civil service examination for inspectors
and assistant inspectors, with the requirement
oi a diploma from a regular
veterinary colloge.
YREE TltADE TALK*
The work of the other divisions is reviewed
in detail, but briefly and without
extondod argument. Tho quostion
of forestry comes in for some special
attention, and urgent recommendations
are inado for more thorough and extended
oflort on its behalf.
Of tho weather bureau it is reported
that tbo work lias boon carried on with
improved efficiency and economy, a reduction
in cost of maintcnanco of nearly
10 percent being effected, the estimates
with the fiscal year being correspondingly
reduced. A re-organization of the
bureau has been partially effected, designed
to modify expenses and magnify
the value of the service to agriculture,
commerce and tho people at large.
Keviowing with some detail our agricultural
exports and their destination,
un earnest pleA in made for the diversification
of agricultural exports and
tho widening of foreign markets thorofor.
"Wo want free entrance to all the
countries of tbo globe while it is in our
power to supply them with any product
the varied soil and climate of this vast
country will enable ua to grow at a
profit,"
Referring to the possibility that tho
virtual closing of markets for American
products in some parts of the old world
must bo due to tho high tariff dutiea
upon all products that foreigners deairo
to soil in our own markets, ho says tho
question is presented once more to tho
American mind, "Can any country shut
out the commodities and products oi
other nations without shutting in a
valuo equal to the things shut out?"
0|"Hides, fruits, nuts and wine," says
the secretary, "could all be producod
in this country, so, with a considerable
share of the libros, tobacco and sugar,
our farmers would bo benefitted by a
large number of subsidiary crop?, the
ovor-production of certain staples
avoided, tho variety of our agriculture,
supplies to foroign markets increased,
aud the markets themselves multiplied.
MR, MILLER'S REPORT.

Washington', D. C., Nov. 26.?Mr.
Joseph Mtller, the commiaaioner of iu*
tornal rovonue, bat submitted to Secretary
Carlisle this report of tbo operations
of the bureau for tho fiscal year
ended Juno .">0, 1S93, and alao cortain
additional information relating to tbo
collections mado and work performed
during tho first three months of tho
curront fiscal year.
It is a long document of over 200
printed pages and includes a number of
tables containing much statistical information
on tho operations of the bureau,
some of which date back for thirty
years. The report shows that the
recoipts from all sources of internal revenue
have increased from SU6,y0,J,8f>0
for tho fiscal year of 1836 to $161,004,889
in 18M. Tho estimates of the
last commissioner of internal revenue
were (hat tbo receipts of 1693 would
roach $165,000,000, but, owing to the
general bnsinoss depression, Mr. Miller
says, this amount was not realized, lie
estimatos that the receipts for the fiscal
year will bo $150,000,000,
A RADICAL MEASURE

tho Free List Will Surprise the Conutry.
Wasbisctos, Nov. 2(>. ? The new
Democratic bill will be laid before tbefull
membership of the ways and means
committee at IX o'clock to-morrow
morning. Tho committee will convene
at 11 o'clock, five minutes later the
bill will bo submitted by Chairman
Wilson and road at length, and a Democratic
member will thon promptly move
that strict party vote.
It is now definitoly announced -that
the internal revonue schedule will be
reserved until a later date, as it is not
yet completed.
In its general terms the newtariff bill
to bo made public to-morrow may be
called a radical measure. The free lilt
will be a surprise to the country. It
will include wool, iron ore, coal, cotton
ties, coppor, lumber, chocolate, salt,
hindinp twine. Sax. lead ore. and manv
oilier articles ol lest importance to the
lareo commercial interests.
Tho disposition of wool and woolen
goods has boen 0110 of the most difficult
problems that tUo committee liad to
solve. Alter two months of deliberation,
it has been finally decided to adopt
tho Springer policy of the lost Congress
in all tbe material details and the written
report to accompany this portion of
tbe bill will also be substantially the report
of tho last chairman of the ways
and means committoo.
The best information tonight is that
Rtool rails will probably be put at $8 or
$9 a ton, or a smaller figure representing
a tariff of 40 percent ad valorem,
while nails are selling at their present
low price of $20. Rails will be one of
the lew articles upon which a specific
duty will be retained. Fig iron will
probably be put at 50 per cent, while
bar iron will be reduced about 50 per
cent. The rato on nearly all
manufactures of cotton will bo
40 por cent. This will include
hosiery, which now pays compound
duties ranging ashisrhas 72 percent.
The classifications of diflurent grades of
goods will be abandoned.

on ways and means completed their
tariff bill lato last night, near midnight,
the last item finally acted upon being
the sugar schodulo.
It being brought to their attention
that speculators, falsoly pretending to
have information of thoir proposou action,
have been seeking to manipulate
the stock markot. They deemed it best
to depart from their general plan of
refusing information as to tariff items
until their full bill is made public, and
at once to publish their conclusions on
tbie schedule so that all men may stand
on the same footing of authentic information.
The now bill to be promulgated
to-morrow shows the following
changes in the sugar echodule:
The duty on refined sugar Is reduced
from one-half to one-fourth of a cent a
pound. Raw sugar remains free of tax.
The McKinley bounty is repealed progressively,
that is, one-eighth each year,
so at tho ond of eight years it is to ceaso

ing Mr. Powderly's resignation would
be almost unanimously accepted. cl
Members of tbe press committee do- "
niedthatany caucus was held to-day, bat
tbe action of nineteen of the dolegates 8,
seems at variance with that statement. ?'
A telegram was sent to James R. Bov B<
ereign, at Dei Moines, an king him if j?
be would accept tbe office which Mr. 'V
Powderly seeks to vacate. It was sent ~r
late this afternoon and was signed by ,
nineteen delegates, some of whom have 11
heretofore been known as being very re
friendly to tbe interesta of Powderly. 81
One of the delegates, who signed 'the cc
telegram, said to-night: "If all the ,
names of all who signed the message j"
were knows, it would create considera- ?
ble surprise in tbe Powderly camp. Mr. "j
Powderly has said that the" order could P
not get along without bltn, but the ac- "

mads that assertion. jjj
"Mr. Sovereign, who is labor commis- 0

DESPERATE TRAIN ROBBERS. ol
qi
A Trnin Polls In to Gonben With Eight o]
on Board?Foiled by Brave Trainmen. p'
Goshek, Iko., Nov. 28.?The first section
of train No. 60, the fait meat express
between Chicago and New York, c<
palled into this city last night with
eight desperate robbers on boaid. Between
this city and Elkhart they bad dl
made repeated efforts to uncouple a "
number of cars with, It is believed, the '
idea of wrecking the fait expresi train, 'c
which passes hero close behind the "
meat train.
Train No. 60 pulled out of Elkhart at J1
1:33 this morning, with orders to run to '?
Ligonier without stopping. When it Tl
had left Elkhart a mile behind the
train crew, which consisted of Conductor
John Uickok and two brakemen,
found that eight men wore on the train, ol
having concealed themselves between .]
tho cars. 1;
The follows made an effort to nncou- "
pie the last ten cars ?(tho train, but w
tholr efforts wore foiledby the trainmen P
after a hard fight, 'The crew, however, {'
were not able to drivo tho men off the ;
train. ?
Five miles furthor another attempt to i"
uncouple the cars and another fight re- Jy
suited which lasted until the train was "
pulling into Goshen. Uickok and ono
of the Drakemen were badly battered up
in the struggle.
The engineer blew hia whistle for J]
help and in a few minutes two officers j0
and a crowd of citizens were at the ,
train, but the robbers had made their J
escape taking with them the watches 01
of the engineer, two brakemen and condoctor
Hickok. They also secured a "
mall sum of money from each of the w
trainmen. ?!
Later in the night a man giving the
name ol Henry Zimmerman was arrested,
and in bis shoo was found (4,
tho amount taken from one of the c
brakemen. William Cono was alio V"
taken iuto custody, after making a bard
fight, and fl2, taken from Conductor
Hickok, was found npon him. jj

AS AWFUL TRAGEDY.
n Indiana Man Kill* His Wife, Throe
Children and Hlmaalf?Cold Brutality
Characterize* the Deed.
Skyhook, Xnd., Not. 26.?Newt hat
tit bean received bere from Carotherslle,
n village ten miles eoutb of bere,
lat Uniontown, an adjoining village,
at night furnished a quudrnple mursr,
followed by suicide. It is atatcd
lat John Foster, a well-to-do but critic
farmer of Uniontown, in a fit of
imporary insanity killed bis wife and
leir thrco children with a revolver
id then blew out his own brains,
ostor has always been regarded by his
Mow villagers as a little weak-minded
id queer. He bas frequently had
ouble with bis wifo, and several years
;o they separated. Recently n reconilation
was effected and Foster retrned
to his family.
There was no witness to the terriblo
fair, but tbe position of the bodies
lint to the fact that the wife was the
rat to meet her fate. She was shot
trough the back of tho head. The
muron wore lounti aeau 111 me next
ioiu, and from their position bad evijntly
boon aroused from peaceful
umbers by the ahoi that robbed thorn
their mother. Tho oldest child, a
>y, was found with hands clasped as if
the attitude of prayer for his life and
ie lives of hia little brothor and sister,
e was shot through the heart as were
te other two children. The father,
tor taking the lives of tho little ones,
turned to tho dead body of his wife,
id placing the pistol to his forehead
impleted his fiendish work.
The shots startled tho usually peace\
community and several men hurried
the scene ot tho tragedy. Tho sight
at met their gaze was appalling and
^ysiclans wcro sont for at once. The
st lign of life had passed from the
)diea of the entire family before a
nysici&n arrived on tho scene. The
)or of the house was one pool of
ood. The entire community for
iles aronnd visited the scene of the
agedy last night and gazed upon the
mdieb work of Foster.
AFTER THE ANARCHISTS.
lam Being Perfected lor Their Squelching?
International Co-operation l'arored.
London, Nov. 26.?An important
lestion occupying the attention of the
iveral European cabinets this week is
hether the time has come for internaonal
co-operation against anarchists,
ractical steps in this direction will
robably bo taken soon, but it is
aubtful if the measures adopted will
\ke tho shape of a formal agreement
stween the powers.
The Paris prefect of police suggests
le best reason for not giving treaty
cognition to the evil. He recently
irbado furnishing pictures of notorioug
larchists from the official flies to newsipers,
because such a fostering to the
inity of the despised creatures was tho
reatest possible incentive to the execuon
of their murderous plans.
A craving for notority before tho
orld ho regards as the main spring of
loir activity. Nothing would gratify
ie secret souls of these cowards more
tan to soe their hatfeful order dignilled
r the solemn official ban of all Europe,
ho opportunity to sbriok persecution
id proclaim defiance by fresh outtges

French government. To M. Meline,
the president entrusted the delicate
mission of endeavoring to pertnade M.
Casimir-Perier or M. Dupuy to reconsider
their decisions not to undertake the
reconstruction of the French cabinet,
but it is understood M. Casimir-Perier
emphatically declined to be persuaded
to undertake the difficult task proposed
to him and it is added, that Meline met
with an equally firm refusal from H.
Dupuy.
After completing bis unsuccessful

French cabinet The majority of th*
representatives of the socialist party,
including M. Jaures and M. Milltr. and
tho deputios who wore ao prominentia
attacking the programme recently outlined
by U. Dupuy, were at the entertainment.
M. Jaures. who was loudly applauded,
made n speech. After affirming that
tho socialists were moved by the spirit
of patriotism, the speaker deoiared that
tho fall of the ministry was the Aral
victory (or me socialistic parliamentary
croup, and that it wai an omen of ancci'bh
for their future undertakings. The
socialists, M. Jnuros added, knew that
a cabinet of their own choice was impossible,
but they did not overthrow

n crisis. All they asked waa
that the ministry ahould observe a benevolent
neutrality.
THE SPANISH CABINET.
Almost Itcnily to Resign on Account of Mie
Moorish Situation.
Madmb, Nov. 26.?The negative result
of the conference at Melillabetween
General Marcias and Muley Aruaf, the
sultan's brother, lias nearly led to a
cabinet crisis.
The cabinet mot late yesterday evening
and all the ministers present were
pledged to secrecy. In epiteiof this
pledge it has transpired that tho minister
of finance, Scnor Gamaz, declared
that if the minister of war declared that
it was impossible to immediately commence
activo operations against the
Moore, which wore cleurlydoroandedby
the circumstances as well as by public
opinion, it was evident that the ministry
ought to resign, as it could not continue
in undecisive policy without daneor.
This statement caused a profound
impression among the ministers, and
for a time, it is said, there was danger
of tho ministry adopting the suggestion
of the minister of finance and handing
in its resignation.
