HARD Rival Breeders Experience Difficulty in Transacting Business Citcaco, July 20.—The exccutive commit- tee of the Columbian Dawry association and the joint committee from various dairy breedecs associations were in session all day. Both bodies had great difienlty in transuct- ing business owing to tue disinehnation of many to yield on points where the interests of rival ussoviatious diverged. “The Columbian met in the morning and listened to the propositions submit- ted by Chief Buchanan of the world's fair agricultural department. This proposition was that the world’s fair authovities furnish all necessary ouildings and the food and water for as mauy as fifty biead of cattle from cach of the va- vious breeds during the exposition and in return take all the products of the cattle. It was deemed best beforo acting on tnis to allow the breeders to meet and prepare & report regarding their purposes, the breeders bemng practically the only backers of the Columbian dairy” association in the proposed exhibit “The breeders' committea accordingly met 1 tho afternoon, There was lively dobate over the question of churns vs. a chemical test for cattle products. It was finally de- cided to recommend that all milk tests bo made by a chemwical analysis. The plan of a six mouths’ duiry school was endorsed, and a committee to make tests recommended con- sistiug of one member from each breed cn- tered, trom the college, one from the Columbian Dairy ussociation and one from the World’s ~ Columbian exposition. P'rizes were recommended to bo given for oue cow, ono week and for thirty duys, there to bo first, second, thivd and fourth prizes in each of the di- vistons, the contest to be between diff individuals aud not between any association and an individual. Tn submitting this report later the breedurs acknowledyed that but one association hud officially pledged itself to furuish the necessary cattlo for the exhibit, but that ull fol that” if necessary individual wembers would uuguestionably do so. The eutive evening session was devoted to the discussion of tno worlds' faiv proposal. Considerable disagreemont was manifosted among the various breeds represeuted, the chief point of ifference being upon the re- quirement that the cattle remain for six mowths. The Holstein breeders were tho most serious objectors to so long a time, With this exception ali sections of 'Mr. Bu- chiayan’s proposition were uccepted, and re- gurding time, a committee cousistiug of Messes, Boyd of filiuois, Ashburn of Ne- braski and Snerman of Towa was appointed 10 waiit upon the chiof of the agricultural de- { partment o see if some plan coutd uot be de- vised by which tho desires of the various breeders could be harmonized.

Countof Transcripts About Completed by the Census Oftice. Wasmixaroy, July 20.—The count of the farm and home transcripts made in accord- ance with the mortgage colleetion clause of the census act has been completed by tho census office, The figures are: subject to slight modifications. They were returned by the enumerators 2,491,630 farms and homes occupied by owners which are eucumbered by mortgages. This number;ineludes some farms and home about which tho enuuerators made no report and which belong partly to the olass, of hired and varily to the class of owned free as well as partly to the class of owned and encum- bered. Until this unknown quantity due to the l'uilu{,u uft.hudcn'umerlwu is ullulnhn:tell it may be regarded as mately true that 21{ per cefilwl the 13‘,%&?(@) mmiynes of the United States occupy and own encum- bered homes and that ‘0,256,000 families occupy farms and homes” thit ave eithor hired or owned free. "The proportions of hired and owned frec homes and farms will be known when the population division completes the count of the returns pertaining to them. The pre- liminary results indicate that the uverace deot for a farm in Towais $1,283; homes, $719; uverage for farm and homo, §1,140. 1f these averages hold good for the union the en- cumbrance on the farms aud homes of the United States occupied by owners is about £2,505,000. The success of this investiration, Superintendent Porter says, has been far beyond the anticipation 'of the most experienced statisticians and the result will bo of immense interest and value to the na- tion. The fivst volume relating to rocorded indebtedness will probably go to press this vear. Incomplete returns from western states indicate that farms and homes ure mortgaged for about one-third their valuo put upon them by the owners, Captain Armes Pardoned. Care "May, N. J., July 20.—The president nas actod upon several pardon cases, onc of which was that of Uaptain (icorge J. Avies. 'ne occurrence which lod to the trial by court-martial of Captain Armes created con- siderable comment at the time. Captain Armes ut the timeof the inauguration of President Harrison was a retired avmy ofticer, living in Wasbington, On inwugura- tion day Cuptain Armes received somo ran- cied griovance from some Penusylvama ofticials. A few evenings afterwards ho met Governor Beaver of Pennsylvania in the lobby of a botel and publicly insulted him, even going S0 far as to pull his nose. Captain Avmes was tried by a court martial for conduct unbecoming an ofii- cer and a gentleman, found guilty and son- tenced to dismassal from the army. The president subsequently commuted the sen- tence and ordered Cabtmin Armes to be re- stricted within a limit of fifty miles from the District_of Columbia for & period of three yeurs, Upon the recommendation of the sec- retary of war the president bas now com- muted this sentence, and Captaia Armes in future can go where he pleases, Western Pensions, WasiiNGroy, July 20.—|Spacial Teleg: to Tie Bee. | —The followlng list of pen granted 18 reported by Tnz Bee aad Ex uwminer Burcau of Claims: Nebras Origmal-Lucien D.

Of tha thirteen members of the committee there were present but soven, namely : Chairman M. 8. Quay of Pennsylvania, Vice Chairman 4.8, Clarkson of Towa, Secretary J. S. ' sett of New York, Treasurer W. W. Dudle of Indiany, Samucl Fessenden of Connecti- out, Garrett A, Hobart of New Jersoy and J. M. Haynes of Maine. Tho first business before the committeo was the consideration of the accounts grow- ing out of tho last campaign, submitied by Tressurer Dudley. This proceeding however, was interrupted for a time 1 order to allow Colonel Scott of Omaha, Neb,, to make a glowing speech in favor of holding the next republican national conventiou in that eity. Colonel Scott had reasons in plenty to support bis argument, based largely upon the precarious state of the party in the western states adjoining M braska, which might be improved by the in- fusion of party spirit engendered by a great national convention in the neighborhood. Ho also offercd substantial propositions looking to the facility of tho conveation’s work and the comfort of the delegates, When he bad concluded the matter was referred to the general committee and th ceutive committee resumed consideration of the treasurer’s account. A large mass of cor- respondence was also laid before the commit- tee by the chairman and sceretary for discus- sion. Many active politicians in different parts of the eountry had suggestions to muke and conclusious to draw from the outeome of the last congressional election. Some pointed out the dangerousness of the allianco move- ment in their states and submitted fngenious plans to meet its throatened inroads on tho republican party strength, aud others re. ferred to various gricvances and causes of dissatisfaction among republicans which might be overcome by proper treatment. Allof these communications that appeared to be of value were caretully considered wnd particular attention was calisted in behalf of an elaborate table analyzing in detail the last vote of the congressional election Some discussion followed as to th and place of meeting of the full national republican committee and it was tnully decided to entrust the selection of the plac of meeting and the exact date to Cnairm Quay and Secretary Fassett for determi tion, with the proviso that_the meeting shall take place some day in November. If the time-honored custom of allowing six months’ notice of the meeting of the nomin«ting con- vention is to bo observed this action is an indication that the next national convention will be beld not later than May next.
