In the totals by states it is shown
that Missouri ranks seventl) in the
total manufactured product, and Kan-
sat. the eighteenth state as alphal -t i<--
ally arranged in the roll call, is also
eighteenth in value of manufactured
product The states which outrank
Missouri in value of product are: New
York, 91 ,711,577,671; Pennsylvania, t'!,-

tal value of Missouri's manufactured
product was 897,ttS", and the l<.t;i!
for Kansas II 10,219,WJ.Y
Although Illinois ranks third in the
value of manufactured
drops to fifth place in the number of
persons employed in manufactures,
and Missouri, ranking seventh in the
value «>f product tak<
number of employes. Michigan, in
round numbers, manufactures *.'MU)t)i).-
OUU less annually than Missouri, but
she gives employment to -jo.ouj inoiv
people. Hut notwithstanding tlie fact
that Michigan employs '20.000 more
person* in her manufactures than Mis-
souri, she lacks #10,000.000 of paying
theui as much wages as Missouri. And
so it is, too, with Ohio, which employs
^0,000 more persons than Illinois bul
lacks $1-j,ooo.ooo of paying them as
much wages.
The following table shows the num-
ber of employes and the wage j ;ti<I in
the eight leading states:

In the manufactures the great staples,
meats and flours, take an easy lead in
the total value of the product. The
meat-packing establishments are con-
sidered separately, but if to the valua-
tion of their product is added that of
the wholesale slaughtering, for which
separate statistics have been obtained,
the value of the meat product exceeds
that of the bread product nearly $100,-
000,000. The value of the Hour and
grist mill product in 1890 was shown to
be §513,971,470. Wholesale slaughter-
ing and meat packing is $433,252,Ml5,
and the wholesale slaughtering not in-
cluded In the packing house reports,
9128,859,353.
In addition to this meat product
must be added refined lards at $15,474,-
848 and $3, 055,367 for sausage, statistics
for which have been separately ob-
tained.
In the total value of the manufact-
ured product, the industries which so
far outrank all others as to be in a
class of their own, are five. They arc:
Flouring and grist mill products, $■"> 1 ■ J,-
•71,474; slaughtering and meat pack-
ing, $433,352,315; iron and steel, $430,-
•64,348; foundry and machine shops,
•414,701,872; lumber and other mill
products from logs. $408,607,575.
In the number of employes, however,
the meat product does not take high
rank. The five leading Industries of
eOUPtry, if the number of employes
be taken as the test, are shown to be
as follows:

40,409, or about one seventh the num-
ber in the manufacture of lumber, al-
though the total value of the meat
product U larger by some $300,000,000.
In the average wa . paid employes,
however, the packing houses exceed
all other iii'lustrie mentioned. The

Washington, March :7. Jerry Simp-
son's revelations of (Jen. I Hack's pri-
vate statements relating to th«s man-
agement of the Leavenworth soldiers'
home impelled the latter to make some
public exolanat ons. the exact text of
which will be interesting to most Kau-

The saloou tint the- g-nt • m 1 n fiom Kansas
speaks of is not a .saloon where spirituous
liquors are sold. It is what is called the beer
hall, which is run at all the branches of the
home, one where beer is sold to the men and
paid for by th tn. guaranteed to be of a good
quality ;ind subject to inspection. That my
p rsonal judgment has been against the estab-
lishment of thit hall is true, but the majority
of the board believ- d that with the habits
that many of these volunteer soldiers
had, with the contracted disorders cf
a quarter of a century, the
habits of a life time upon them, it was better
that there should be 1 regulated institution, a
beer hall inside of the horn • . wh.-re a clean,
wholesome beverage could b? sold, rather than
these men driven out bj their Impulses, their
appetites und their passions, should seek on
tbe outside an inferior Quality of liquor We
recogn /ed the fact that the servitude of fifty
years' appetite cannot be broken by the insti-
tutions themselves
TIIK \ 11 MOII I'l.ATK SCANDAL
Secretary Herbert Scncln an Arimver in Ite-
ply to ;t ItcoSiition of fh« House.
\\ a suing ton, March 27.—Secretary
Herl>ert to-day sent to the house a
long reply to the C'uinmings resolution
calling for details of the recent viola-
tion by Carnegie, I'hipps & Co. of the
contracts with the I'nited States for
the manufacture of armtjr plate for the
navy, which involved ?14'), |S'j. The
answer gives in detail the history of
the progress and discovery of one of
the most gigantic frauds known in the
naval administration.
The matter was referred to the chief
of ordnance and his associates. These
officials found that plates selected for
tests were re-treated at night and that
there had been doctoring of statements
us tc the heating and annealing and
reported tli.it the government had been
damaged 15 per cent, on all the con-
tracts. The fraudulent work was done
almost entirely at night
Mr. Trick was notified und came to
Washington und a settlement was
effected according to the terms of the
agreement The Carnegie Steel Co.,
limited, paid int. ) the bank of Pitts-
burgh, I'si., to tiic credit of the inform-
ants $o." .l il and it credited vouchers
for armor furnished to the government
with $l()o,:;s), which vouchers arc now
on file in the department No money
whatever passed through the hands of
the department.

OetatU.
Washington, March 47.—When the
i'o!lard-Breckinridge f. u.o t J breach of
promise marriage hearin g was resumed
.u the district court this morning,there
was a great crowd present, for the day
vas e\|H?eted to beau exciting one.
As sson as Judge liradley had taken
his seat, lie rendered his decision on
the objections of the plaintiff's attor-
neys to the admission of depositions
npeaching the charsftter of Madeline
t'ollard. First he refused to order the
throwing out of all the deposit ions, hold-
rig that under the law there was no
objection to this form of procedure
i hen as to the objection to the depo-
sition « f one Brand because he refused
1 answer certain questions concerning
iie woman who had introduced him to
di*-., Pollard and because he did not
• want to "give away" a married woman
i and then persisted that he did not
i know her name, the judge said that it
i appeared that instead of refusing to
answer, the man did not know or was
lying. The direct examination had
brought out nothing derogatory to tha
plaintiff and the judge overruled this
objection, remarking that there was
nothing reflecting upon Miss I'ollard in
the testimony, unless it was that she
j had consented to associate with such a
disreputable character as the witness
admitted himself to be. The deposi-
tion of on.- Kaufman was also admit-
ted, but the judge spoke very sharply
of the two papers, saying that they
were utterly unfit to be read before the
court and that he would gladly exclude
them ii' he could. The depositions of
John O'Toole, Dr. (Jreen and I>r. Lewis
were ruled out. because they were
based on hearsay. Lewis is the physi-
cian who testified that Col. Swope. the
late republican candidate for con-
gress in the Lexington district, hid
•'iske:l him to perform a criminal opera-
tion upon si Miss Pollard. The deposi-
tions of a Mrs Miller and of Uoselle.
who had been engaged to Miss I'ollard
while she was in the Weslevan insti-
tute, were admitted, the judge com-
menting that the plaintiff had place I
her charsicter and her maturity in a
measure in question.
Judge Bradley then made ;i few re-
marks in the interest of public moral-
ity, as he said. The eour* ha 1 been
deluge 1 with anonymous letters in this
ease It was said that anyone who
won d write an anonymous letter
should not expect to have any notice
taken of them and would do almost
anything mean. Some of these letters,
however, seemed to come from females
and to be dictated bv good motives.
Many of them referred to the publica-
tion of details of the trial While the
court could exercise no censorship over
the press, he suggested that papers
should ornit the improper details, sis he
thought s une of these if published
would subject these paper , to exclusion
from the mails. Moreover it was al-
most a calamity to the city of Wash-
ington and the country at large that
such matter should be carried broad-
cast into its homes
A Hi lav its of certain lawyers who had
been associated with Col. Breckinridge
in certain trials on certain dates were
read.
Joseph Skain, proprietor of the Clar-
endon hotel in Lexington, deposed
that Col. Breckinridge and members of
his family had stopped at the Phtenix
hotel, as it was then called, in 1887.
After tne noon recess a deposition by
James A. Ely, once clerk of the circuit
court of Fayette county, was read. lie
remembered that Breckinridge had
been engaged in a case on November
•J2, M and J4, 1887, and at the unveiling
of a stsitue of John C. Breckinridge at
Lexington, September 10, 18S7.
The deposition of Sister Mary Hya-
cinthe, who was 71 years old and said
that her memory was very bad, showed
that she could not remember that
Madeline I'ollard lisid attended the
Notre Dame convent at Heading, O , of
which the sister had been superior in
The reading of Alex. Julian's deposi-
tion and cross examination closed the
day's proceedings Julian is the blind
man whose adventure with Miss I'ol-
lard at a country frolic on Christmas
eve, ISSi, has been the subject of nu-
merous publicatious since the opening
up of this scandal.

Topeka, Kan., March 27.—The re-
publican convention of the Fourth con-
gressional district will be held to-mor-
row at Emporia. There will be no
contest, for Congressman Curtis will
be renominated by acclamation, but
the meeting will be interesting be-
cause it will be the first of the cam-
paign, and the platform it will adopt
will, in a measure, foreshadow the
declaration of principles of the repub-
lican state convention, which will not
meet until Jun •.
A Noted Irish ( omposer Dead.
Di bi.in, March 27.—Sir Robert l'rcs-
cott Stewart, the composer, is dead.

edgment of his musical uttainmcuts.

noon of apoplexy, ut his residence in

C I*ti W ar* Governor aud
Thru Senator.
Washinotox, March 27. — I'nited
States Senator Alfred Holt Colquitt, of
Oeorgiu. died at his residence iu this
city to-day. Around the bedside when
lie passed away were Senator tiordon
and his daughter, Mrs. Jones; Mr. Col-
quitt's private secretary; his nephew,
Mr. Hunn; his son; Mrs Colquitt; three
unmarried daughters, and his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Marshall, of Chicago. As the
end approached the senator's breath-
ing became very heavy, but lie relapsed
into unctJiis^iousuess aud suffered no
pain.
Mr. Colquitt was born April 21, 1S24,
iu Walton county, <ia , the son of llev.
Walter T. Colquitt, an eminent minis-
ter in his day. lie graduated from
Princeton college in the class of 1S44
and was admitted to the bar iu 1^45.
During the Mexican war he served as a
staff officer with the rank of major.
He was a member of the (ieorgia legis-
lature in 1 59 and was elected to the
house of representatives in the Thirty-
third congress. He was u member of
the secession convention of the state of
(ieorgia and later entered tlie confed-
eral service as captain and was soon
promoted to be colonel of the Sixth
(ieorgia infantry. Later he served as
brigadier-general and was commis-
sioned as major-general.
(len. Colquitt was elected governor
of Georgia in 187* , served four years
and was re-elected under the new con-
stitution for two years. At the expira-
tion e>f his term as governor he was
elected to the United States senate for
the term commencing March 4, 1 ss3,
anil was re-elected in 1SSH. His term
of service would have expired March 3,
1895.
Senator Colquitt was stricken with
paralysis in July, 1 v.rJ, and since that
time had been unable to walk without
assistance. He. however, continued in
a large degree his attendance on his
seriate duties, lieing wheeled iu and
out of the senate chamber in an in-
valid chair. He attended the meetings
of committees of which he was a mem-
ber, but was unable to make a speech
or take any active part in the debate
on the senate floor. He was present to
vote on all important questions and
during the prolonged silver struggle
in the recent extra session
was wheeled into the chamber to
help keep a quorum during the
nights w hen the senate sat in continu-
ous session. He was even in his en-
feebled condition active in looking
after the interests of his constituents
about the government departments
and bureaus, although he hail to be
taken there in his wheel chair by the
attendants. His seat in the senate was
the one on the democratic side nearest
the vice president's chair, at the foot
of the center aisle, where he could
readily secure recognition without ris-
ing. A few weeks ago Mr. Colquitt's
strength had s greatly increased that
he was able to dispense with the inva-
lid chair and walk into the senate on
the arm of a doorkeeper.
l-'or years Senator Colquitt was prom-
inent in church circles and during his
congressional career he was one of the
most active members of the congres-
sional temperance society, an organiza-
tion that had existed for more than a
half ci* at ury. Recently he had an-
nounce.1 to the state legislature that
lie w«'iilil be a candidate for re-election
for a third time.
