What Secretary Rusk Has to Say in His December Orop Report. MANY PEOPLE JUMP AT CONCLUSIONS. The Senate Committee on Commerce Agrees to Heport Favorably the Omaha Bridge Bill With Amendiments, Wasmxerox Bureav Tiae Ovam B } 513 FounteeNTi Strerr, WasuiNaroy, D. C.. Jan. 22 Secretary Rusk has just issued his Decem- bercrop report. It contains no report from Nebraska, but lins some genaral observ ations ofimportance to the farmers of that state. Speakingof corn, the report sa; “The November return of the yield for some states was craticised in a few quarters, generally by panic-stricken dealers, who insisted upon the necessity of counting out large areas as abandoned and further disconuting the loss by mentally including the whole area in the calealation necessary to determine the average yield, This was especially true in the case of Nebraska, where the carefully made and considerel estimates from corre- spondents, which showad about 6) per cent of the rate of yield of the previousyear, were discredited by these lightning calculators, who generally based their estimates upon a kaowledge of the result in a fow of the worst counties and hastily assumed that the whole state was as bad. For th usfaction of this offico an additional investigation for this state was made after husking gave better op- portunity for mature judgm: Theso later returns from our correspondents, every producing county in the state being covered, reduced tho first estimate by about two bushels, making the rate e instead of the ten which A striking verification the fact that our re- shteen bushels crities insisted upon, of this final estimate tums from nearly sixty-eight thousand Ne- braska farmers make almost the sime average for the state, and the county by county slow but little varlance. Itis a stril- ingtribute tothe care and accaracy of our Nobraska county correspondents. ‘The error which those not accustomed to cron reporting fall into is hasty aggregation. One critic, who was especially emphatic in his assertion that the estimate was double what it should b, was asked to give his own estimate in detail for all counties with which he wis personally familiar, Hedid so, and it was slightly higher than the re- wmns from correspondeuts from the same covnties.” Nebruskans interested in will read this from the report: has veen @ large one, ne sugar in the sugar crop ““The sugar the output Louisiana being evi- dently in excess of that of last year.” The year ma an important, forward stepin our experiments with other sugar providing plants, the making of sugar from beets having been a commercial success in Nebraska, Kansas and California. The results of this campaign give promise thut the time when this country shall be less de- pendent for this staple “article upon the plantations of foreign countries is at hand, and itmay be that within afew years the $00,000,000 ancually sent abroad Wil go to the pockets of our own farmers.” ¢ AHE OMAMIA BRIDGE A CERTAINTYa - <7~ The senate committee on _commerce today agreed to report favoraoly Senator Mander- son’s bill providing for a low railroad bridge across the Misssourt between Omaha and Council Bluffs. The commitwe made some amendments to conform to the recommendy- tions of the secretary of war and that oficial now endorses the measure. The amendmeuts are to the latter part of secction 2, which is made to read as follos “The saia bridge shall be constructed without interference with the security and convenicnce of naviga- tion of said river beyond what is neces: to carry into effect the rights and privileges hereby granted; and in ovder to secuve that object the said covporation shall submit to the secretary of war for bis examination and approval a design of and drawings for said bridge and a map of the proposed 1oo ion giving for the space of oie mila above and one mile below such+ proposed location the high and low water lines upon the banks of the river, the direction and strength of the currents at all stages of the water, withsoundings acurately showing the bed of the stream and the loca- tion of any other bridge or bridges, such maps to be suicicntly in detail to enable the secretary of war to judge of the proper location of sald bridge, and shall urnish such other information as may be requred for a full understanding of the subject, and until the said plaa and loca- tion of the bridge are approved by the sccre- tary of war, the cdnstruction of said bridge shall not be commenced.” The last part of seetion 8 is made to read thus: “This act shall be nulland void if the construction of siid bridge shall not be commenced within one year and be fivished within three years from its passage These amendments cover all the sugges- tions of the sceretary of war, who savs in h lotter, which was written by General Case; chief of engineers: *“The interests of navi- gation in my opinion are sufficiently pro- tected by tho terms of the bill, and1f amended as recommended 1 sec no objection to its passage by congress.” It s the gen belief now that the bill will be passed by both houses at this session, If this bridge bill becames alaw—and there is every reason to believe it will-Omaha, it is statad, will get n boom in railroad business, as_ some roads will run brauches iuto that city. It willalsobo the first bill congress bas ever passed providing for a low bndge over anavigible river. The perseverance of Senator Manderson did the work. Itwas die” to his personal efforts thut General Casey and the secretary of war endorsed the bill nnd the committee on commerce favorably reported it to thesen- ate. Itis the purpose of Senator Manderson 10 get the b |I passed before rival companies get in their work, and Mr. Connell says ho will have the bill taken from the desk of Speaker Reed and passed without reference 10 committee, as the committee on commerce has already reported favorably a duplicate. NOT THEIR CHOICE, Senators Paddock and Manderson are con- siderably vexed over thoappointment of Prof, Warner of Lincoln to be supermtendent of charities for the District of Columbia yester- duy without their conseut. They very carnestly urged the appoiutment of Gov- eror Thayer and believe that he was especially fitted for the position, They both say that they want it distinctly understood thast they did' not even consent to the appoint- mont of° Warner because thiey did not believe that the republicans of Nebraska are espec- jaily interested in this gentleman, as he has been in the state but a short time, aud they ted an old wheelhorse like Governor The place will of course be taken out of the state patronage. INGALLS AISENT ON IMPORTANT BUSINESS. A very significant and amusing announce- ment wiis mude in_the senate this moruing. When the roll was being called Mr. Allison arose aud stated that bo wis pairal with the sonator from Kansas, Mr. Ihgalls, upon all questions affecting the cloture resolution and the federal eloction law. As Mr, Allison is in favor of these propositions, of course Mr. Ingalls is against them, Mr. ‘Allison crehted asmile when he stated that Mr. Ingalls was absent at his home on important business affecting bis pemunal fnterests. Very few people supposed that Senator Ingalls would oppose the cloture resolution, although it was understood that he was against the election bill. Senator Washburn of Miunesota re- marked today that while he was I favor of the cloture rule he was opposed to the elec- tion bill and would vote against it. There were nine other republicans who were also the measure without any dowbt It Mr. Washburn is right in his eatvass there is no reason why Mr. Hour should sntin 10 sthe bill, as there would mot be the htest probabiiity of its pusstge, ARMY MATTERS.

Vire ow did not ven- turp any definte opinion, however, on the question as to whether death was caused in consequence of the mistaken treatment. Dr, Ewald expressed great satisfaction with the therepeutic successes he had obtained by Koch’s method in the case of putients to whom he had applied it in August at the hospital and whom he had been able to send home long ago. Their con- dition, on the whole, was v and he was convinced that Koch’s remedy would do more towards the cure of consump- tion than anything previously known. At the same tme, he admitted thal he had mot yet seen any compl cure. Hourgently advised his colloagues not to treat all pulmonary patients indiscrimi- nately by Koeh’s method, but to discriminate very strictly in order to avoid unpicasant accidents. Prof. Weber of Halle publishes a veportin today’s number of the German Medical Weekly, attributing little value to Koch’s fluid for the diagnosis of tuberculosis and advisiog, 1s other authoritics have done, that at all events very small doses should be applied at first.
