IN THE FACE OF MANY PROTESTS, Mr. Goldsboroagh Re-Examined Before the Kock Creek Commission. The Rock Creek Park commission to appraise the property continued its ecssion yesterday. ‘The arguments as to the right of the govern: ment to recall Mr. Robt. H. Goldsborough to testify in chief were concluded. The commission said that the objection of Mr. Abert was sustained, for they had con- cluded thet after Mr. Goldsborough had testi- fied in chief and_ his cross-examination practi- ally concluded they could not hear him in chief again. He had made no request to cor- rect or explain his testimony.

Mr. Perry xaid what he now desired was to ascertain what was the judgment of the witness after he ined ‘the ground. Mr. Wilson argued that the government was not entitled to testimony based upon what wit- ness had learned since his examination in chief. Commissioner Norris asked if Mr. Golds borough felt that he had done injustice by his testimony. Bir. Goldsborough—No, sir. NO CORRECTIONS TO MAKE. Commissioner Burchell asked Mr. Goldsbo- rough if he wished to change his testimony as to any piece of property. Mr. Goldsborough answered in the nezative, and he explained what he had done as being the request of Mr. Perry Mr. Perry asked if he desired to change his testimony and Mr. Goldsborough answered in the negative. Mr. Wilson objected and noted an exception, saying that it wus not proper for kim to re- iterate. Mr. Goldsborough asked to make an addi- tion, and after some objection and discussion said “I went over the Zepp tract as well as the Dos Passos—" Several objections were made, but witness was allowed to proceed. The witness continuing said that there were two properties which he would, if ailowed to, testify value a little higher. Mr. Perry—What properties are they ‘Tue owners’ counsel in chorus—We object. Mr. Perry argued that he was entitled to the answer. Mr. Atchison claimed that the government was preeluded from having two chances while the owners had but one. Mr. Perry called attention to the owners re- calling Mr. Duvall and urged as 2 matter of right that he was entitled to th ewer. Mr. Hagner said if this witness was allowed to proceed the same course could be taken with others, and there was no telling where the in- v would end. If they went on in the line .

The McLaughlin tract he valued at $1,000 per acre. Mr. Wilson objected and excepted to the overruling of the objection. THE VILLA SITE QUESTION. ‘Mr. Goldsborough said, in explanation of his remark, that the villa site idea bad not taken possession of the public; that properties had been bought by Mr. Thompson, Mr. Wagga- man and others for the purpose of dividing into sites, but there had been no demand. The Willis property had been ou the market for five years, and there was no handsomer place for such sites ora more splendid place for a mainiature castle, and he had been unable to find a purchaser at 21,000 per acre. It was very expensive business to subdivide ground, for besides what it lost in the streets the tax is an element. If the land is in bulk it is re- garded as agricultural land and assessed by the acre, but if cut up theassessment is by the foot.

How They Will Be Represented in the Sculpture of the Library Building. The new National Library building, which is to cost $6,000,000, is about half way up. ‘This does not mean that it is half finished, for after the walls are up and the roof on there is an immense amount of work then to be done, but the outer walls are about up to the half-way line and the inner walls are advanced consider- ably beyond that. There is enough of the building now to give @ fair ideaof the grand structure it is going tobe. Even in this un- finished, rough condition the building goes be- yond the expectations aroused by a view of the drawings. The walls of stone and brick and the arches—all the masonry—ix up as far as the main gallery, beyond which there is but one The outer walls are of granite. and in the interior masonry 14,000,000 bricks ave already been laid.

The democratic primaries which closed here ‘Thursday at sunset showed on a count of votes that Capt. George A.

This insures the’ nomination of Capt. Mush- bach and, in all probability, his election, as he will appoint the Alexandria delegates to the convention of the 10th of Oc- tober and by agreement the Alexan- drin delegatess will name the candidates. Capt. Mushbach, although not a native of Alex- andria, has grown up here. He has bee: prominent at the bar for fifteen years, and served Alexandria as its representative in one of the sessions of the house of delegates.

The comedy is a satire on the apartment house system in New York and gives great scope for the introduction of a series of novel specialties, Mr. John T.

At the recent annual meeting of the Ameri- ean Chemical Society, held in Washington, D. C., the question of the value of carbonate of ammonia as a leavening agent in bread or as used in baking powders came up for discus- sion, in which Prof. Barker of the University of Pennsylyania, and presiden,t of the society; Dr. Richardson, late of the Untited States De- partment of Agriculture in Washington: Dr. Ym. McMurtrie, late professor of chemistry in the University of Illinois; Dr. E. H. Bart late chemist of the Brooklyn, N. Y., board of health and professor of chemistry of the Long Inland College, and others took part. ‘The consensus of opinion was overwhelming in favor of the employment of ammoniu. It was stated as a fact that ammonia rendered the gluten of the flour more soluble than the orig- inal gluten, and that the bread in which this action was produced by carbonate of ammonia must be more digestible and hence more healthful, and because of the extreme volatility of carbonate of ammonia, and its compiete ex- pulsion from the bread in the process of bak- ing, it is one of the most useful, most healthfal and most valuable leavening agents known, These conclusions are borne out by the very elaborate and exhaustive experiments made by Prof. J. W. Mallet of the University of Vir- ginia, which show conclusively that bread made with a baking powde: in which 1 per cent of carbonate of ammonia is used, in con- nection with cream of tartar and soda, is not only of uniformly better color and texture, but a product more wholesome, because the’ am- moni serves to neutralizeany organic or lactic acids present in the fou: —_--— A Morning Passenger.

Something About the Bulletins Soon to Be Issued by the Census Office. Tho great mnss and variety of data respect- ing manufactures collected by the eleventh census is now, as stated in Tue Stam, in pro- cess of analysis and arrangement for publica tion. Butone complete bulletin relating to manufactures has yet been issued by the census office. This bulletin treats of the manufacture of lumber and forest products in the states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. A bulle- tin reporting statistics of all classes of manu- factures in the District of Columbia will be pub- lished at an early day, and this will be followed by bulletins in similar form for each of the principal cities. It is proposed that each of the bulletins shall contain ten tables designed to properly present the information which has been supplied by individual reports of manu- facturers upon the forms or schedules of in- quiry issued by the census office for that pur- pose. Mr. George A. Priest, one of the experts con- nected with the division of manufacturers in the consus office, speaking of the scope of the inquiry, said to a Star reporter: Special schedules of inquiry were prepared for twenty-six principal industries, and one general schedule was formulated for the re- ports of establishments the operations of which Were not embraced in such special echedules. Many of the noted students of economic ques- Hons, as weil as pron.inent manufacturers and experts in principal industries, were consulted with reference to the formation of these schedules, which are uniform with respect to securing a full statistical presentation under the general heads of “capital invested,” “mis- cellaneouw expenses, or and wages,” “ma- terials used” and “goods manufactured.” The collection of statistics relating to certain indus- tries of peculiar characteristics was assigned to experts in such industries. ‘The industries so selected and the names of the special agents for each are as follows: 1. Coke, Joseph D. Weeks, Pittsburg, P RK. Foote, Washington, D. D. Weeks, Pittsburg, Pa.: 4. Iron and steel, Dr. Wm. M. ‘Sweet, Philadelphia, Pa: 5. Manu- factured gas, Geo. W. Graeff, jr., Philadelphia, Pa.; 6. Salt, Henry Bowor, Philadelphia, Pa. All othe: statistics of manufactures have been coliveted by special ators who were assigned certain end charged. with the duty of personaily visiting every establishment of productive industry in their respective districts, with the exception of establinuments engaged in the special industries noted, and obtaining distinct reports upon the forms prepared for that purpose. ‘The term “establishment. of productive in- dustry” was defined in ite broadest meaning, as intended to embrace not only mills and tae: tories, but also the operations of all small manufaccuring establishments and the mechan- ical trades. The work of properly classifying about 750,000 individual schedules which have been received, so that the number of industries shall be re- duced to the minimum consistent with a clear presentation for distinct classes, has required careful study. In the publication for the census of 1890 of tabular statements for counties and cities it is proposed to make w specific statement under 3.

All industries hav- ing less than three establishments will be stated in’ a group, in order that the private business affairs of individual establishments may not be disclosed. which disclosure is especially pro- hibited by census regulations. CAPITAL AXD LaDoR. In comparing industrial statistics for 1880 and 18% it should be constantly considered that some very radical changes have been made in the form of inquiry used in the census of 1890, as weil asin the mauner of presentation of results. Since it has been charged that the results of previous census inquiries relating to manufactures were quite misleading, it has been the aim of the census office, in tormulat- ing the schedules for tho eleventh census, to construct them so as to secure the most accu- rate returns. ‘The objections referred to have becn mainly directed at the data heretofore presented under the heads of “capital invested” and “labor and wage Owing to the tendency of manufact- urers to understate the amount of capital em- ployed, obtaining correct data touching Vested capital has proved to bo the most diffi cult duty pertaining to the collection of indus- trial statistics. The form of questions respecting capital used in the census of 1880 was u follows: “Capital (real and personal) invested in the business.” It became evident from the results then ob- tained that this question was neither sufti- ciently comprehensive nor properly understood, and for this reason the full amount of capital employed in productive industry was not re- ported, thus forming an erroneous basis for deductions which have proved disadvantage- ous to Lacarpindenra | interests. The word “capital,” as employed for the purpose of the census inquiry respecting man- ufactures, comprebends that portion of the wealth of the country which is employed in productive industry. Capital is the product of former labor, used to provide the materials and tools @equired for the various processes of manufacture and for the payment of wages to the employed. The census inquiry is cic} upon this definition and is intended to com- prehend all the property or assets strictly per- taining to a manufacturing business, whether such property be owned. borrowed or hired. Table No. 4 is a presentation of statistics re- lating to labor employed and wages paid in each industry. It states for “men, ‘women™ und “children” respectively the average num- ber of wage workers employed during the year, the average number ot weeks eimployed, the average wages per week per hand and the total wages paid; also the number of hands em- ployed ut picce work and their earnings. The average term of employment in weeks and the average wages per week are obtained by a com- Putation made in the census office, embracing all the individual reports for each industry. ‘The first half of table No. 5 exhibits, under the general head of “materials used,” the cost of the principal material, the cost of fuel, the cost of mill supplics (comprising those sup- plies which are expended in the various pro- cesses of manufacture, which do not enter into the composition of the product) and the cost of all other materials used for the manufac- ture of the product reported. ‘The second half of the table exhibits the value of goods manufactured. The value stated under the head “total value of products” is the reported market value at the place of production, not including any allowance for commissions or expenses of scli- ing. Fao amount stated under the head “actual produced yalue” is prosented for the purpose of showing the contributions of the respective industries to the actual wealth of the country, and is obtained by deducting the cost of ma- terials used from the market valueof products. ‘This becomes necessary because it frequently ccurs that the products of one industry be- come the materials for another, and the repeti- tion may occur through several processes of manufacture, thus constantly ing to the total value of product by the repeated duplica- tion and inclusion of the cost of original ma- terials. While this is obviously unavoidable and is statistically correct it is linble to form a basis for erroneous deductions, unless ac- companied by a statement of the net or “actual LATE NEWS FROM CHILL The Government May Kedeem the Paper Money Issued by Balinaceda.

Electrical industries, Allen | 1891—SIXTEEN PAGES LINCOLN AND GRANT. ‘The Recent Discovery of Two Portraits They A remarkable photograph, or rather « pair of photographs, has recently been produced by the Treasury Department. It is « reproduction of an old proof that has lain among some rub- bish for years. On one side of a large card ie a wonderful likeness of Abraham Lincoln. with his beard, and on the other side is a speaking Portrait of Gen. Grant in uniform. Th Portraits are of the head and shoul- ders only, and contain many of the blem- ishes that are found on untouched prints. ‘These photographs have a curious history. They were taken in the spring of 1864, when Grant came to Washington to receive from President Lincoln's hands his commission as lieutenant general. It was suggested that the two distinguished men get their pictures taken together, and ac- cordingly they went down the street to en avenue photographer. The first sitting did not please the artist. There were some faulte in the negative that he did not care to take the trouble to eradicate or that he could not, and so he destroyed the plate without printing any but a couple of proofs that were untoned and unmounted. They were thrown among some rubbish that appears to have fallen into the hands of a curio eeeker. ‘They had never been touched until recently, when they were turned over to the official pho- tographer of the Treasury Department, who developed their faded tones aud copied them, producing two of the most valuable portraits in existence, The President had a newspaper in his hand, the edge of which shows in one corner of the picture. Gen. Grant's uniform coat and vest are negligently unbuttoned and one of his hands showed a trifle. ‘The portraits have been pronounced by all sho have seen them to be wonderful likenesses. The motes on the right side of each fuce—Lin- coln’s was lower than Grant’s—the wrinkles, brows, all bring to the memorics of those who knew the two men a vivid recollection of them as they lived. or THE MARYLAND OYSTER PROSPECTS. Commander Seth Says the Supply Will Be Greater Than Last Year. After a cruise in the bay Commander Seth of the Maryland oyster navy says the oysters this year are thin and in poor condition, the best being found in Pocomoke sound and "atuxgnt river. ‘The supply this year, bi will be 30 or 40 per cent greater than last year.

A curious spectacle was to be scen on the outskirts of Gainesville, Fla., recently. Alachua lake, from ten to fifteen miles in length and covering some 40,000 acres of land, is no more. On its banks were lyingjthousands of dead fih, dead alligators floated ghastly in pools of black water and the atmosphere was heavy with noxious gases. Men and boys were there in throngs with hoes and rakes, dragging to shore hundreds of fish which had sought the pools for refuge. The waters were fairly alive with their struggles for existence. Except for a small stream known as Payne's creck, flowing from Newman's lake into the Sink, the two main basing of the Sink and a few stagnant pools no water is now to be scen where a few Fours ago steamers were ploughing their way. ‘This is the second time since 1823 that a similar occurrence has taken place. At that time the bod of the lake was s large prairie— Payne's prairie—having in it a body of water called the Sink and a small creck. In 1868 heavy rains filled up the prairie, bat the water disappeared after a short time, and the prairie was again dry land. In 1873, after a series of heavy rains, the Sink over- flowed and the ereek swelled to the dimensions ofjalake. During several years the waters in- creased till a larger lake was formed, and for fully, fifteen years suficient depth of water stood over the prairic to allow of small steam- ers. During the last two years, however, the waters have been gradually lowering, ‘and about four weeks ago they commenced going down with surprising rapidity, the lake falling about eight feet in ten days, until ffow nothing is left of Alachua lake but the memory of it. ‘Tho Sink is considered the cause of this change. There is evidently an underground passage connected, and for some reason not under- stood this underground has been act- ing as a drain until all the water in the has been drawn off. ——_~e- Baby Got It, M.

I greatly admire the Englishwoman for her utter refusal to worry or be worried, and the consequence is that she looks young at fifty. She undertakes no more than she can com- fortably carry out and thoroughly believes in the coming of another day. By thisI do not mean that she procrastinates; she simply will not let the domestic machinery grind her down to ill health and early old age. She isa frequent bather and regards heaith us the prime factor of life, to be looked after before everything else, though the breakfast might bean hour late. She sleeps nine hours, and takes a nap during the day at that. she ar- ranges her day's work in the most systematic manner, and her little memorandum «lip al- we shows two vacant hours: they are for rest. She eats heartily, but the most digestible food. In the most modest home, no matter how little but the best. She would rather have « mouth- ful of good food and go partly hungry than cata whole meal of cheaper things.
