STRAIGHTENED OUT BY DODGE DECLARES THERE IS NOT THE DEFICIT PREDICTED. Former Member of the Department of Agriculture Makes Interesting Corrections in Sir Wil- liam’s Estimates. Sgectal Dispatch to The Call, ALBANY, N. ¥ =0 R e stician of the United States Department of Agri- | culture at Washington, has written to the Country Gentleman an exhaustive answer to the address of Sir William Crookes before the British ience sociation. He takes Sir William to task for presenting inaccurate figures. He says: “Sir William Crookes declares that there is already a deficit of wheat area of 31,000 square miles, or approximate- 1y 20,000,000 acres, rather unreasonable in view of the fact that this area at the present rate of yield would produce nearly 260,000,000 bushels, while the European deficiency, which is the prin- cipal one in the world, is by the Beer- | sl bohm record only 310,000,000 bushels’ average in the last eight years. He assumed the present annual require- ment for bread is 2,324,000 bushels of wheat, while the official and expert estimates of the period since 1890 aver- age more than that figure, the compil- ation of such estimates for seven years by the Department of Agriculture averaging 24 5,000, an excess of over 150,000,000. Though the eminent scientist is almost as lame in his sta- tistics of consumption as he is in those | of production, really minimizing both, he makes the supply of the year only 1,921,000,000, whil in the statement quoted above the product of 1897, the smallest of seven years, is given at 2,214,000,000. “It is a very unreliable forecast that understates production nearly 10 per cent. It would be uncharitable to hope for a scarcity of bread rations, still our wheat growers would not feel very despondent over a prospect of good prices. “The Crookes view is a distinct en- | couragement to them, and &imilar views have been put forth sometimes apparently in the hope of raising prices. Unfortunately when exaggerated a temporary rise of 10 per cent is fol- lowed (as the result of natural reac- tion, and from the effect of increase of area, stimulated by temporary advanc in value) by & fall of 20 to 30 per cent, | as between 1891 and 18 It is hard to convince people, scientists as well as | plain people, that honesty is the best policy and truth in statistics cannot be safely departed from. The practice of stock exchanges as well as that of advantage can never aid the cause of science or of rural economy.” RECIPROCITY FINDS FAVOR IN ARGENTINA Senate Sanctions a Customs Law De- signed to Re-establish the Treaty. Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1598, by James Gor- don Bennctt BUENOS AYRES, Argentina, Dec. 25.— | The Senate sanctioned vesterday the cu: toms law adding to the present regul tions one providing in brief that the “Gov- ernment is authorized to accord a reduc- tion of tariff not to exceed 50 per cent in favor of a country which may accord an equivalent reduction on the products of Argentina.” This action is especially designed to re- establish the recent reciprocity treaty with the United States. NO NORTH, NO SOUTH. Presbyterian’s A;;-l for a United Church in America. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 2%.—Rev. Dr. 1. Vance of the First Presbyterian Church, In his sermon to-day, urged the wiping out of the terms “North” and “South” applied to the church, saying: I wonder if the time is not at hand for the effacement of geographical marks from the name of our beloved Presbyterian church in America? She should be the first to put into practice the Gospel she proclaimed. And, yet, it must be admitted that while Mason and Dixon’s line has dikappeared from the geo- graphy of citizenship, it survives In the geo- graphy of the church. I speak to-day for a presbyterianism that shail no more be marked “North” or “South,” but whose territorial boundaries shall be co-terminous with the ut- ermost Timits e republic—an Presbyterian church. 0 T PO — o —O—0—0——0———>—>—>—@ CO000C0000O0COO0000O00O00000000000000 JUDGE DAY IS SLATED FOR THE SUPREME BENCH Says He Is Now Out of Politics.

Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 25.—The Washington correspondent of |© the Herald telegraphs: Chair- man Day of the Peace Commis- mission is slated by President McKinley for-the first vacancy on the bench of the United States Supreme Court that may occur during this administra- tion. In the meantime it is the President’s intention to make him a Circuit Judge. There is a bill pending in Congress creating a new judicial circuit in Ohio. Mr. Day’s friends in Congress, at the solicitation of the Presi- dent, will try to have this bill passed immediately as a special compliment to Day for his .good work in the peace negotiations. If the bill is passed Day will be at once appointed to the judge- ship created. No vacancy on the Supreme Court bench is at pres- ent expected, but Justice Gray is eligible for retirement on ac- count of age, and it is thought possible he may desire to give up active service before the end of the present administration, and in this event Day will doubt- less be promoted from the Cir- cuit to the Supreme bench. COOO0OO0O000DCOI00O0COCO0OOO0DO000CC000 CCCO0000CCQOO0000D0 CANTON, Ohio, Dec. 25.—Judge Day, president of the late Peace Commission. {and Mrs. Day, reached their Canton home in time to take Chri with | their family. They arrived at 10:55 this morning over the Pennsylvania Rail- | road. There was no formal greeting | arranged for them, but a committee of | the Stark County bar, several personal ! friends and members of their family { were at the station to meet them. The Judge is in excellent health and | spirits, and the trip abroad has evi- dently been beneficial. Mrs. Day is also in excellent health, and, notwithstand- ing the seasickness on the return voy- age, comes to her home in much be ter health than when she left it. Judge Day, when asked as to his plans for the future, said he expects to remain in Canton and resume the prac- tice of law in the firm of which he was a member before entering the Cab- | inet of President McKinley. The work ¢f the commission ended when the tiesty was delivered to the President. and he does not expect to visit Wash- iugtcn again in connection with ny duties on that commission. = ked as to whether he had auny de- s which State of Ohio could he sai f you refer to polit- {ic res, 1 have not.

In the case of Mr. Fot | ter there is no parallel to the Paris commission. He was retained for a | very large fee to perform certain duties. | In the case of the Bering Sea the com | missioners were paid very modest sums | for their work, but associated with them were a number of attorneys of note in the capacity of counsel looking after large interests, and as such were paid liberal fees. A number of friends have called on Judge Day since his return and to them he has talked entertainingly. The work | at Paris was felt by the commissioners to be arduous and left little or no op portunity for pleasures, which the Judge would have been glad to have enjoyed in a city which impressed him with its beauty and historic interest. The French Government treated the commissioners very well and the room in which negotiations were conducted was a magnificent one, well adapted to the work in hand. The Americans were in session every day, and during journ in Paris. They took a vast amount of testimony bearing on the questions to be disposed of and were in constant communication with the President. Whenever, under instruc- tions from Washingfon, the American | position was closely defined a session was held with the Spanish representa- tives and at such sessions the Amer- ieans always presented a firm and united position. There were but two critical perfods in the negotiations, the first regarding the Cuban debt, which was an open question for more than a month, dur- ing which time the Americans never swerved from the position presented to the Spaniards. The other was upon the Philippine cession, and after the Americans had reached a conclusion in their own councils as to the concessions that could be granted, there was no long hours most days, during their so- | MANY HAVE ma possessions. three famine-stricken men. loss of many fishing boats.
