The report of tlie Ivnijlits of Labor LcgislatWc Com mittee docs not meet with the favor of V. F. Caffrer, the secretary, and third member hi" that committee. "When Chairman Butler ircpared his report to the Knights of Labor, Secretary Cafl'rcy refused to sign it, de claring it to be inaccurate and biased. To day Mr. Cafl'rey gave out a statement, the nib-stance of -which is as follows, which lie says he can substantiate by the official re port of the sessions of the last Legislature: The report of the Knights of Labor Legis lative Investigating Committee by Messrs. Wright and Butler is so unfair, inaccurate and incmmilcto in Its treatment of llie sub ject aud sounjast to friends or labor, to both sides of the House, to the order and to my self that I proposo to isuc a report npon tlio notion taken on all lills. The vote-, pub lllied in the so-called liutler reports contra dict his on n comments aud conclusions in c era! instances. . He.-e ave a few sample's: The workinpmen ai o told that Mutators Kobinson, Uobin, l'en rosc. Lemon and Lieutenant Governor Wat rou were "friendly" on the Republican side. The l-ecoidcd votes in the appendix to the icport show that senator Kobinson was "present and not voting" upon the anthra cite mine bill, and also on the factory in spector bill. SOME ;I.AKING IKACCl'KACIES. In enc portion of the report we aro told that the factory bill was lost in the Senate, while page -29 shows 37 Senators voting aye, whnout a word of explanation to inform the reader that at a later stage of tho proceed ings senator Koliinon moved to Indefinitely postpone the said factory bill, using the verv express e appeal to his colleagues, l.ct us butcher thUhill," and they did kill and bury it ituout ceremony. The records show that the vote was reconsidered on motion of Mr. Kever. The bill then passed finallv and was messaged to the senate, wlieie our "lricndly" Kobinson butchered it" on the ei cnlug of May 27. A fair report would sue the final vote on this or any other bill In both Houses. senator Kobinson is recorded as "absent and not voting" upon the emasculated eight hour bill: "-absent and not voting" on the dockage bill, which was not an "extra" measure, this report informs us, but was named -ide by side with the company store bill on the first six important demands con tained in tho circular letter to the House ami Senate. He inlM) recorded as voting against the checkwciglimnn's bill to protect the miners. "The Old Boman" Senator Brant Is recorded as voting for all our bills. He made a gal lant fight for ballot find tar reforms, and yet in this brilliant report bis name does not appear among those specially and honor ably mentioned. That is a falrsample of the whole report, and there are others. I.AME EXCUSES IX THE REPOET. senator Oobin, who, according to this re port was "Irieudlj,"' is recorded as "absent ami not voting" flvo times and voting sigalnst tho check weighman's bill for the protection of the poor miners, senator (.(.bin denounced ballot reform of every description. The report is full of excuses lor the action taken upon the defeated labor bills. For instance. A. a Robin was not a son. of Pittsburg, who member of either House or Senate, is held responsible lor the failure to secure a genuine eight-hour law. Whom will the people hold responsible these outsiders or the men who were elected to represent their lights? The report shows 16 Republicans wjting against the miners on that bill, and 10 Democrats and 1 Republican voting in l.n or of abolishing a stupendous system of robbery and spoliation. It says little or nothing about the House Committee on I.'ailroads and Corporations, which, killed ISurk's anti-Pinkerton bill, geanors atrti-li-criniination bill. Ferry's safety coupler hill, and the railroad fence bill. Did the gentleman, who wrote this, mis lending report lorget bow ably Mr. Hitter defended tho eight-hour bill berore it was killed by amendments which the House ac cepted? Did he forget how emphatically and earnestly Mr. Hitter demanded the pasaC of the constitutional convention bill which our committee had approved? Does he deserve no creo.it for the many clforts made by him and his colleagues to perf ; it the ballot reform bill? ON CV A FEW OF MAXY ERKOF.S. These are but a few of its defects, sufficient at this time to indicate reasons for refusing to sign it. I believe in giving every person or party full credit for work done, but the delegates -who were present at the State convention of our order will remember the intention was that a full and fair record of action taken for or against the cause of labor khould be kept and published for in formation. Considering the unfairness, inaccuracy and incompleteness of the aforesaid report, I deem it a duty which I owe to the order, to the friends of labor on both sides and to mvself, to prepare and submit for their consideration a complete report made up from my daily notes and the official records.

IVORTn ONK BILLION DOLLARS MOKE THAN IN TEARS, Corn Will Average Ono Dollar and Oats Forty Cents ler Bashel on the Tarm Cotton, Ityc, Cattle and Tobacco Ad vancing Rapidly. New York, Aug. 16. Farm profits will be 1,000,000,000 more this year in the United States than they have been during the recent years of depression. At least this is the estimate put forward by the American AariadUirid in its annual review of the harvests, to be published iu the forth coming September issue of that magazine. On the basis of present prospects this au thority estimates the corn crop of 1891 at 2,000,000,000 bushels, -wheat 500,000,000 bushels and oats 622,000,000 bushels respect ively in 1890, and 1,700,445 and 558,000,000 bushels as the average for the preceding 11 years. This makes the total prospective crop of corn, wheat and oats 3,122,000,000 bushels, or 28.8 per cent greater than last year, and 14.7 per cent over the average of the preceding 11 years. The American AgricvlturUt believes that unless unexpected influences wholly change the current of events, the value of corn on the farm will average 51 per bushel and oats at least 40 cents. On this basis the value of the corn crop to the farmers will bc?l,000,000,000, -wheat $500,000,000 and oats f250,000,000, or a total of $1,750,000,000. This is 4450,000,000 more than the value of these crops in 1890 and ?625,000,000 moie than the valne of the average of these crops lrom 18SU to lM) inclusive. Cotton and rye will command better prices than last season. Cattle are worth one-third more than 18 months ago, -with other live stock in proportion. Tobacco is advancing heavily for cigar leaf, contracts being made for the crop in the field at an advance of 15 to 50 per cent over last year. Hops are firm at good prices, winter fruit will command large values, and all vege tables are yielding fairly, with every indi cation of a remunerative market. The export outlook was never better. Immensely increased sums will be sent to the United States for our produce. Ul terior influences may of course interfere with this brilliant prospect, bnt we confess we are beginning to share more fnlly the hopes of certain well-informed, bnt conserv ative agriculturists, who predict better profits for the farmers of the United States during the next five years than ever be fore. The American Agriculturist says there will be no return of "war" prices, but the money received above expenses will go further and enable the farmer fo get more valne out of his profits than at any previous period. A BABY SMOKER. Bis Parents to Bo Prosecuted by the Illinois Humane Society. ClHCAC.O, Aug. 16. The Illinois Humane Society has decided to prosecute the 2-year-old Leonard Turner, the tobacco-smoking baby. The child's case was brought to public notice a day or two ago. Ever since the baby was 2 months old, his father, who is said to be a dissipated character, has been teaching the child to smoke. The child has now become so accustomed to the weed that he cries for his pipe and tobacco. The mother has had to work to support the family and of late has been leaving the little fellow at a day nursery. The matron of the nursery "retnsed to allow the use of tobacco aud reported the case. The Humane Society at once took the matter, and yesterday two physicians examined the child. He was found to be in a very feeble con dition, already suffering from acute nico tine poisoning and having what is known to physicians as the "tobacco heart." His skin, eyes and brain are also affected. He dis plays but little intelligence now, and bright ens up only when his pipe is placed before his eyes. Acting on the report of the physicians, the Humane Society has sworn out warrants for the arrest of the parents. The penalty for such an offense is not less than (10 nor more 500 fine, or one year in the penitentiary, or both. Doctors express doubts as to whether the child can be brought back to a healthy condition. GOTHAM SMUGGLERS TBIPPED DP. One Had 50 Yards of Silk Aronnd His Body and More in His Trunk. Xkw Yoiik, Aug. 16. The Custom House officers made several important seizures of smuggled goods on the steamship Umbria, which arrived from Liverpool last night. Joseph Zeiter, of Syracuse, Jf. 1'., was found to have 50 yards of black silk -wrapped around his body, and in his trunk was found 50 yards more of the silk, bcldes gold watches, six shawls, 12 sets of fine cutlery, a number of meerschaum pipes and a quantity of lace. Two other passengers on the same vessel were also caught in an attempt to smuggle various articles of jewelry valued at 600. They wereAbram Yesner'and Jacob Kosen bcrg, of this city, and they were discovered through their passing a package to a friend on the pier. The officers lollowed the three men to a saloon in the vicinity, ar rested them and found several hundred dol lars' worth of jewelry id tlieir possession. The jewelry was confiscated and the men locked up. BENNINGTON'S F0TIBTH OF JULY. The Memorable Battle To Be Celebrated by the Dedication of a Monument. Bennixotos, Vt, Aug. 16.

Back A FULL SUPPLY OP. CURRENCY In This Country Now, So Therc'3 No Actual Necessity for Gold. A FRESH EXPEDIENT FOR INSOLVENCY SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Xev York, Aug. 16. Matthew Marshal reviews the financial nnd speculative situa tion for to-morrow's Sun as follows: It grieved me mightily to find, on going downtown last Monday, that my deliver ance of that morning had been received with some dissatisfaction by those of my friends, who, in the parlance of the street, are "bulls." The younger and more irrev erent among them had the impertinence to suggest that I wrote under the influence of a bad digestion, and that another summer's trip abroad, by improving my health, would improve the soundness of my finan cial judgment. "I think I shall so far accept the sugges tion as to take a vacation for a week or two, or at least until all danger of a recurrence this season of the hot weather of last week has passed over; but I repel with indigna tion the charge that ill-health has anything to do with the judgments I expressed on financial matters. The truth is that one's opinion on any subject depends on the point on which he views it sop's fable of the shield which appeared to be of gold or silver according to the side upon which the observer stood, teaches a lesson of per petual valne. FORECASTING THE FDTUHE. A man who, like mvself, looks at facts and events philosophically, intent only upon forecasting the future according to abstract general principles, will usually come to quite different conclusions from one who considers only the day s market, and buys and sells for eighths aud quarters on the spur of the moment. I have no hesita tion in confessing that I do not understand the fluctuations of the speculative securities dealt in on the Stock Exchange, and I have always disclaimed any proficiency in read ing the signs of their prospective rises and falls. That my opinion, s therefore, should some times come into collision with those of my .bull or bear friends is not lo be wondered at. The proposition which I endeavored to elucidate a week ago was that the market is overstocked with securities, manufactured during the era of enthusiasm which pre vailed for the year or two preceding the Baring collapse of last November and that they will not be taken off the hands of their holders except at a reduction from the prices which have hitherto been asked for them. BAKED UPOJf FACTS. I based my opinion upon facts, some of which are common property, and others which came to my knowledge confidentially, as it were, so that I did not feel justified iu specifying the particulars. Still I think every one of my readers .is possessed of enough such facts himself to judge whether. I am right or wrong, and is under no com pulsion lo accept my conclusion if his own differs from it. My further inquiries this last w k con firm my original view, and I, thereto -e, ad here to it, A great deal of benefit to the market is expected, and some of it has been already experienced from the formation of the syndicate to relieve the financial dis tress of the Union Pacific Kailway Com- fiany undoubtedly, by lifting from the pub ic mind the apprehension which the im minent bankruptcy of so great a corpora tion was beginning to create. Any meas ure which averted, even if it only post poned the catastrophe, would be reassuring. CAN'T SEE THE BENEFIT. Nevertheless, I fail to see how the stock of the Union Pacific Railway Company is worth any more intrinsically because its floating debt has been gathered into the hands of a syndicate, Instead of being bar tered about among the various money lend ers of the country. If my friend Jupiter Morgan is correctly reported as forming one of the syndicate, he is not the man I take him to be if he does not get well paid for his services. Modesty in fixing their value never was one of his failings, and he is not likely to succumb to it at this late date. The other reputed members of the syndi cate also have sound business views of the compensation they are entitled tc, and altogether I am quite sure that nothing will be saved in the way of interest and com missions through their intervention. I ad mit that the company's stock rose on the formation of the "syndicate being announced and fell when the failure of the scheme was feared, but I attribute the phenomenon to the manipulation of operators, who under stood the game of playing upon the imaginations of their fellow-operators on the Exchange far better than I ever expect to ilo. NEW NAME FOB INSOLVENCY. I simply cannot understand how, apart from the control which the possession of large blocks of it gives, any investor should buy Union Pacific stock at any price what ever. Indeed, this syndicating of the Union Pacific floating debt, like the similar arrangement made in London last fall with the debtof;Baring Bros. & Co., is only uiiuiiiui iuiii ui num. in iii couj uusiness days, used to be called an assignment for the benefit of creditors, and which was in variably accepted as a formal announce ment of insolvency. The abuses of these assignments finally led to the enactment of a law declaring them void whenever they were made "with intent to hinder, delay or defraud credit ors," and under this law it was adjudged that any provision which gave the assignee the right to do anything with the assigned property, except Convert it into can as speedily as possible, avoided the assign ment. I suppose the Union Pacific syndi cate will Steer clear of this legal snag. But the fact of the company's insolvency is made none the less conspicuous by the ex pedient to which it has been compelled to resort. IHG HOPES ON CHOPS. Great things are expected from the abun dance of the crops of this country, and the more or less extensive failure of those of Eurone. Hundreds of thousands of neoDle indulge in pleasing dreams of the wealth which is going to flow in npon us through our good fortune and Europe's ill-fortune in this respeot First and foremost, gold is to be imported by millions of dollars, to pay fof food purchases; next, our own capi talists are going to have millions to invest in existing securities or in creating new ones, and, finally, Europe, besides buying liberally of Our breadstuffs and our provis ions, is to be equally lavish in buying our stocks and bonds. I do not pretend to be infallible, and I shall be very glad on patriotic grounds, if I shall prove to have been mistaken, but I expect as the result of ourood harvest and of Europe's poor one, neither large gold imports nor an extensive buying- of securi ties, either by home or by foreign capital ists. EUROPE NEEDS THE GOLD. "Whether Europe sends us gold in pay ment for our food products, or whether she pays for them in her manufactured goods, or in her own securities, is a matter to be determinedly circumstances as they arise. My own opinionwhich I have already Ex pressed on previous occasions, that since Europe actually needed the gold which she took from us in the spring and still needs it, she will do her best to retain it and to in duce us to accept payment for our grain and our provisms, first in her "manufactured goods, ftnf, failing that, in our stocks and bonds. My private advices confirm the belief that, in order to induce us to take goods i in stead of gold, the prices of the goods will be cut down, so as to make them tempting, in spite oftheMcKinlcy tariff. So many fac tories abroad are dependent upon this mar ket, and so many factory hands must starve iftheydonot accept the lower wages their employers will be compelled to pay to re tain our trade, that I look upon increased importations of cheap foreign goods as al most a certainty. TI.KNTY OP JIONEY HERE. Besides we do not need to import gold for any really good purpose. e have an abundance of currency, and we are adding to it 54,500,000 per month by the issuing of legal tender notes against the purchases of silver bullion under the act of July, 1890. The gold that we have recently sent nhrnnrl j-nmn mntlv from the United States Treasury, where it had been lying unused for years, and its witddrawal did not hurt business any more than if it had fallen from the clouds. The proof that we have all the currency we need is found in the absence of the usual demand for it here at this season to send to the West and Southwest to aid in moving the crops. These sections arc aniply supplied already, and do not call for more. Gold, if it were to be imported, couldn't be profitably used. It would lis idle, as it lay idle before it was exported, and would add nothing to the country's busi ness. In another point on which I found myself compelled to differ with many authorities, the event is already vindicating myjudg ment. Six weeks ago I showed by arithmetic that the profits of the national banks on circulation would not be a sufficient inducement to them to buy the maturing i per cents and extend them at 2 per cent. This was in the face of a declaration by a prominent New York banker that if the Government would make the extended rate 2 per cent instead of 1J4, which it proposed to do, the national banks of this city would buy up and extend the whole of the'bonds in private hands. THE PROSPECT AHEAD. Now I see he recedes from the position he then took, and the prospect is that the Gov ernment will have others to deplete its $100,000,000 greenback redemption fund to stay off the non-extended 4Js, or else let them run till Congress meets at 4yjer cent, as the contract provides. Nevertheless, whatever may be the fate of the Union Pacific Eailway Company, the movement of gold or the disposition of the L4 per cent bonds, I am entirely in accord with my bull friends in taking a cheerful view of the immediate business future of the country. "Whether stocks. go up or go down, and whether this, that or the other embarrassed corporation or firm does or does not pull- through and escape insolv ency, the broad fact remains that the earth this year will add liberally to the country's wealth, and will furnish a solid basis for business prosperity. This will not help concerns which have only 90 cents of assets with which to nay 100 cents on debt, but it will be of material benefit to all the rest. JAY GOUID'S MEEBY OUTING. A Traveling Operation Enables Dim to Communicate With Civilization. San Francisco, Aug. 16. There is abso lutely no foundation for the reports that Jay Gould is seriously ill at Soda Springs, Idaho. Parties who have just returned and who met the "Wall street wizard deny posi tively all such reports. Mr. Gould is as spry and alert as he over was. His special train of three cars is switched on a siding, while the party is in the country fishing and hunting. "Whenevera good.fishing ground is reached a lineman cuts the "telegraph wires and puts in an instrument, so that constant communi cation is kept up with the outer world. Manager Clark, of the Union Pacific, is Gould's constant companion. The Gould party takes long drives offiuto the country, miles away from civilization, and enjoys camping out at ranches they come across. The party will probably reach Salt Lake early next week. A BABBIT'S NINTH MUEDEH. He Slays a Texas Deputy Sheriff Who At tempted His Arrest. San Antonio, Aug. 16. Antonio Car rasci, a noted bandit chieftain and despe rado and the slayer of eight men, has added another victim to his list Torribio Pas trango, a Deputy Sheriff, who has secured evidence showing that Ojrrasci was the mur derer of Charles Fusselman, a sergeant of the Texas Hangers. He attempted to arrest the bandit Friday night at a fandango given on the Texas, side of the river. As the Deputy Sheriff ad vanced into the room the chieftain drew a revolver and shot Pastrango, after which he made his escape. Fifty Mexican rangers have followed his trail into the mountains, but it is unlikely that he will becaptured. The residents of the peninsula have made application to Governor Hogg that a de tachment of State troops be stationed there. BIG GAME 70S THE POLICE.
