C.,, Nov. 2. of the secrotary of agriculture has been sub- mitted to tho prasident. The report boxins with & comparison of the export trade of the vast fiscul year with that of former yoars and emphusizes the fact that of more than $1,000,000,000 reprasenting (ho exports of our domestic produots tor the past year, nearly 80 per cent consisted of agricultural pro- ducts, thus not only making the United States the craditor of the world for a sut oxcooding $200,000,000—tne excoss of our exports over imports—but relieving our home markets from a surplus whicn would other- wise have reduced prices to & point below cost of production. Ior a large sharo in bringing avout tue conditions which have made thoso gratifying results 1ossible, the secretaay claims credit tor his departmont. The report loan crops of 1501, 8o that thers was actually more whoat grown 1n that year than 1n 1580, Kven the cxports from Itussia, where fam- ine existed in 80 large & section and whers exports wero for the time prohibited, amountad to 105,000,000 bushels, neariy as much as tho average of the past four vears, ana more than the average for tho past ten voars. Ho eays: The cooditions waich havo at least ovorwhelmod cotton growers now confront wneat growers. Hence the American firmer must reduce the whent area, and so bring production dowa 1o the normal domand Of barley, he says: “The domestic mor ket, which has hecotofore absorbed 0,000,000 bushels of foraign barloy, is now reserved for the domestic product, and our acreage and production have incransed and boon dis posed of at good pricos. Domestic Sagar, o experionce of tho department in tho domestic sugac inaustry for the past yoar confirms his former reports and shows that domestic sugar can be produced with prolit to the grower of tho crob and to the manu facturer, provided Lhat the conditions of turc and_manufacturs insisted upon by depariment are secured. . Tne seoretary inaulges in a retrospection of the work of the department under his ad- ministration, which ho believes to bs uppro- priate in suvmitting his last report. In it ho oricfly refors to the speciaily - important measures underiaken and carried out during this administration: to the large incroase ia tho divisions of tho work and the importaut part wulch the new divisions have played in extending the usefulness and maintmning tho efiicioncy ot the departmont. Referring to the cconomy with which ho hus endeavored to corty out his comprohen sive plans, he says that after deducung the In regard to imports he flads oncourage- ment for the farmers io the factthat iu spite an of aggrewato increaso thoro is a re fuction in the proportion of imports consisting of products which compete with our American agricvlture, for while in th fiscal year ended 1801, 5 per cent of the imports were competiog, onlv 44 per cent of imports for the past fiscal yoar dia socompote.

Burenu of Animal Indasery. Reviowine the work of tho bureau of ani- wal industry ho summarizos the work and cost of the siiporession of plearo-pueumonia showing the cutire cost to have been iess $100,000 than was paid out by Great during seyen years for indemnity for slaugh- tercd cattie aione He also points out that the total loss to the 26,000,000 yearly as an instanco of the bro- ducts imported, which could, with proper encouragement, bo produced in our owu coun- try. He declires these figures to indicate the main ultimate object of the work of the de- partment which he datines in brief as the closest study of all markets abroaa which muy ve reached by our own agricultural products, accompanied by persistent and intelligent efforts to uxtonn them acd the suustitution in our markets of home.grown for foreign- grown products. Since his last veport probibitions against Auwerican pork proaucts huve been with- drawn 1n all countries where they oxisted, and 40,000,000 pounds of Inspocied pork, which without inspection couid uot have found a market abroad, lave been exported. Compuring tho export trade for May, June and July and Ausust of this yearas u period i which the efforts of iuspection can oo clearly noted with the same period lust voar, ho notes an increase in quantity shippad this voar of G2 per cent at an advance 1 prices which incroased values for the same nperiod by Gilg per cent. He compares prices for Scptembor, 1802, with those of Seplember, 1340, the year before pork inspection wus adopted, aud ahows an incraaso of 80 couts per 100 pounds in favor of this year, an average of $2 per head on every hog shipped, an increaso in price highly gratifyig i view of the large ingrease 1n tho number of hogs marketed.

By theacts of a young man, a doublo murder was committed, two people wounded and the murderer narrowly escaped violence at the hands of a thousand citizens. Herman Seigler, & German, living with his wifo and three children at the residence | of his wife's parents, shot his father-in-law and mother-in-law, iustantly kiliug cach, His next visit was to his wile, but she was ouly siizhily wounded. lieforo the polico were able to disarm slots wero exchangad and he was woundod in the rightside byea bullot from a police- man's tevolver, o was removed to the hospital.

At 5 o'clock this morning Seigler put on tis hat and ovorcoat preparatory Lo leaving the house, He told s wife ho lat ended go ing hunting and he went to the residenco of his brother to borrow a shotgun, He secured tho gun, together with fifteen cartvidges, Seleler did not tarry long at his brotuer's home aund returned to his owu residence, whore he arrived at 10 o'clock. Ho entered by the frout door, went back through the hallway and placed the gun in a small closet in the kitchen. Fle took it out almost imme diately and veturned to tho parlor whero his children were. His wifa was in the rear part of tko houso and the first intimation of any disturbance was when Seigler's little 10-ye old son began to scream. Acted Like a Fiend, “Papa, put down that gun,” he was heard to say by Mrs. Siles, Setzler's mother-n- law, Who was with ber husband upstairs. N iles hurried down to the parlor and as sho entered the room Seigler attempted to cl- evate the guu as thourh be intended to shoot her. She did not hesitate a moment, out rushed up to Seigler and throwing ber arms about bis neck tried to take tho gun away irom bim, “Keep away,” shouted Seigler, he pushea tbe aged woman aside. Then pointing the gun against her left breast e fired. Sho sunk to the floor dead. Mrs. Seigler, hesrieg the shot, ran into the bouse ot Mrs. Fredagicka Heyden, calling for assistance. A she passed tbrough the nallway she took hgr children with ber. Leaving the childréh T Mrs. Heyden's caro Mrs Seigler hastenedback to ber bhome, and as she enlered tho front door auotlier shot was fired by her busband. It 1s supposed that it was intendea gor the body of Mrs. Siles, but some shots:istrack Mrs. Siezler. Oue entered her right breast. Nono of these wounds will result.fatally. These shots aroused; M.
