Secretary Rusk's s Hopeful View of t ' Parming Intere3taC ' . - - .' . : - Increased Exports of Cattle Sneoeisfnl KiperlmtnU In Frodnclns; Sngnr , l)rpar,tmcnt;1Vork. 1 1 "j, . The Secretary of Agriculture has presented his'annttal report -to the President. He ex presses a hopefnl view of agricultural nflalrs, indicating the obvious benefits to farmers of eertin legislation j which he specifies, By comparing prices at Chicago for October 16 of 190 and of 1889, he shows a marked increase in the values of agricultural prod nets, especi ally ofcefealsT iA. tabular statement of agri cultural Imports pf Jae last fiscal yea includ ing, livx animals, bailer, hay, potatoes, hops,' cheese jggs, fax,, votl, inbacco, igliMtflfeteV the old and new tariff rates being given for each, indicates a material, increase in the im port duties on these articles, and shows each to have been imported in considerable quan tities. The Secretary asserts-thaV without Ignoring thrf ienlclso riatttr a! causes' in en hancing values, it is evident that the ecbnb mio legislation of the last Bcssion of C n gress has directly benefitted. the farmers; tho im proved value of cereals, as be believes,, being largely due lo.the silver legislation, which, moreover, has lessened the influence ot Russia and India, oui wheat; competitors in British markets. ?;,t " 'f1 ; ;- ' ' Our increased export trade In cattle and animal products, another .cause of congratnla lation, he traces to the energetic and effective measures adopted forthecraUication of pleuro pneumonia and to the growing appreciation at home and abroad of the department's ability to suppress or effectually control con tagious animal diseases. As an Important step toward secnringfromEnopeah govern menta whioh have discriminated against our' cattle and aajmal "products, some official . recognition of the immunity of American cat tle Irom contagious diseases, he mentions the . system of co-inspection, established by him, 1 with the assistance of the Department of State, enabling American veterinarians in the service of' his. department to inspect all ' American cattle lauded at British" ports and . inspected by British officials. He declares that not a single case of contagious pleuro pneumonia has been alleged to exist among American cattle shipped to British ports since ,' this action; not, indeed, since March Inst The department is now prepared to carry : ons the inspection of export cattle before shipment, provided for by the act of August 80. Similar energy has been directed to our pork interests, the department having already ' undertaken the inspection called for by" the j same Tict "(The Secretary strongly recom- j mends an. inspection law still more compre-v hensive, of all animals slaughtered for inter-: state or foreign trade. lie is confident that ; all grounds, for allegations against the parity and wholesoroeness of American meat pro ducts, 'or against the. freedom of American animal from commuhicablediseases, would be" removed by the precautions which he conld thus enforce; that the government could then insUt upon the withdrawal of all ' each charges; and that in case present dis criminations are continued we should be fully justified in employing, the retaliatory meas ures provided by law.r , The present immunity of Northern cattle from -Texas fever he believra to be due to a geueral compliance with the regulations of the department issued last spring, assurances to this effect having been received froni large dealers in cattle, who report a consequent facilitation of their business, and a saving effected by reduced insurance rates, which for the season will aggregate over a million dollars. Greater 'authority is desired,; how ever, to enable the Secretary to deal effective ly with animal diseases. The outlook for a home sugar industry is considered favorable. a A good article of sugar is Shown to have been produced profitably from sorghum, varieties of which, with large . sugar .content, have been developed through the efforts of the Department of Agriculture. Analyses by the Department chemist of beets grown in varjons states from seed distributed lost spring, indicate a high per cent, of sugar, and. afford conclusive proof that large sec tions of the country are adapted to the successful-culture of the sugar beet. Practical results obtained in Nebraska and Kansas, moreover, demonstrate the feasibility of home . grown "sugar manufacture. The Secretary predicts-that in the near future half of . our sugar will be, thus suppjied. He announces the establishment of three national sugar ex periment stations, devoted one each to cane, sorghum and beet sugar. In the provisions of the iTariff bill, Seere tary Rusk finds wh&t he regards as some glaring inconsistencies in it that gives entire control of sngaY manufacturing' and boqnty payments to a subordinate officer of the Treasury Department, in spite of the fact that heretofore the Department of Agriculture has been charged with the general supervision of the sugar industry, both in its cultural and manufacturing phases. It makes it the duty ot the Secretary of the Treasary, furthermore, to furnish regulations as to the importation o' animals, the inspection of which devolves upon officers of the Department of Agricul ture, and to decide upon questions involving familiarity with the subject of animal diseases at home ana abroad; whereas the Secretary of Agriculture is the only officer required by law to be informed as to the existence of animal diseases in lorcign countries, and as to the possibility or probability of such diseases beinjreomnrenicatedto our domestic animala. Refereneels made to ISe forthcoming trans fer of the Weather Bureau to the Department of Agriculture, witMa declaration of the ; Secretary 't desire to widen the present scope of the bureau, so as to increase its benefits to agriculture. He also insists strongly upon the necessity for morefrequent representation of the department at meetings of agricultural and kindred societies. .He desires also to so utilize "atateand county ftirs, and thia he believes wilf moreover" lead to"' wider ac quaintance by the officers of the department iwith the .natural resources of the country, besides, nodonbt. affording a eood opportunity to add to the accessions of the agricultural tnnscum. , . .. The possibility of jervtng the eorn grower throughout tbe country by extending the market for Indian corn in foreign countries, has engaged the Secretary's attention, with the result that he has appointed a special agent abroad having special qualifications for this duty, to investigate and report upon the fossibilities of promoting the consumption cf ndian corn in European countries. The frequent occurrence of important inter national agricultural gatherings is mentioned, and the fact is pointed out that at these the United States, the greatest agricultural conn, try in the world, is most irequently con spicuous by its absence. In concluding his report he says: "I feel amply justified in expressing my general satisfaction at the condition of agricultural matters in our country," adding, that in spito of the effects of former agricultural depression and of such local depression as must exist, more or li-n, at all uns in soini auctions, at leas. f so vast a uuntry as irs, y, (, "a car"' ' ;evi- of e ev? i of " pit; ear and a general surrey of the agricultural field vday betoken marked improvement in tho condition of our agriculturists and promise' well foftheir future well-being, 't .

The remains of the Mjor General George Crook were brought to Washington fromOak-' land, Md., and interred swith military honors1 in the National Cemetery at Arlington in the presence of a few long-time friends of the. dead general.. The caskeVwhich was encased, inn pine box, enveloped, in a large United States flag1, was borne from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Station byf six sergeantsi of artillery and placed in a hearset The'body! had been escorted here from Oakland by Gen.

A-small procession, consisting of these gentlemen aud a few otheij intimate friends of the dead man, was formed); and moved slowly through the misty, streets to Arlington. " At the Virginia end "of the, Aqueduct Bridge the procession was met ana escorted to the cemetery by Company B, of the Fourth, and Company B, of the Sixth Cavalry, which, are now stationed at Fort Mycr, but were a p irt of General Crook's command when he was in charge of the De partment of Arizona. When the grave, which, liadbeen; dug near the last resting-place of, General Belknap,not farfrom the auditorium, was reached, the funeral party alighted and gathered around the graye. A cloud of mist o boon red the surrounding country, and the silence was only broken by the ratt'e of JiiH-j ing leaves as the body was lowered into the grave. There was no audible prayer deliv ered.
