The Census Office has issued n , preliminary bulletin on the truck Arming industry of the United States, prepared by M r. J. H. Hale, thspecial agent. A treat J in the bulletin, truck farming is distinct from market-gardening. It shows thatupwards of ?100,oo,rtoo are in vested In the industry, the annual product reaching $75,61 7, 155 on tin' farms after paying freights ami com missions, and realized upon 5.i4,GO acres of laud. There are employed In this Industry 216,7(i5 men, fl,254 wo. men, and 14,874 children aided by 75,866 horses and mules.and 8,971,206 worth of implements. Nearly 76 per cent of the truck produced in the United States comes from a bait of country along the Atlantic coast ly ing east of a line drawn from Augus ta, Maine, to Macon, Georgia; from Southern Georgia, Alabama, ami Florida; along the north and south lines of railroad in the Mississippi Valley from Mm Gnlf, Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City, and from tha celery districts of Michigan aud Ohio. The life of a submarine telegraph cable is from 10 to 12 years. If a cable breaks in deep water after it is 19 years old it cannot bo lifted for re pairs, as it will break of its own weight. On this account cable com panics are prepared te put aside i large reserve fund in order that they may be prepared to replace their cables every 10 years. The action uie e is me great eaeiny or the su- bermarine cable; it eats the iron away so completely as to turn the outside coating to dust or sediment' while the core is still intact The breakage of an ocean cable is a very costly accident, owing to the difli- culties to be encountered in repair ing it It olten becomes necessary in case of a break to charter a ship at foOO per day for several da vs iu suc cession trying to iix upon the loca tlon where the cable lias parted. One breakage In the Direct Cable Company's line a few years ago cost that syndicate $125,000. Tens of thousands of Chinamen eaT China every year and Bettte In ether countries, especially South AmeriM, me isianas oi the i'aeinc, and the "West I rules; bat it is a rare thingfor Chinese women to leave the land of their birth. There are proba bly leu than one hundred of them in tha United States, and there are hardly any in Brazil or the Sand wich Islands. It appears by the Cu ban census which has just been taken that there are now nearly 50,000 Chi nese men In Cuba and only eighty four Chinese women. The customs of the Chinese people are ad verse to female emmigration, which, moreo ver is'. Under official restriction. Few Of the Chinamen who go abroad are married ; nearly all of them are quite young. They leave China in the hope that they will make money and return there to get married. .

NIbIU "law t Aiiwcr tk kk-cretarr'e Tolef ram Washington Post: No further ac tion will be taken by tho Federal an thorities at Washington in regard to the snooting or Italians at iaw Ur leans untilafter the receipt of Gov. Nlchol's reply to Secrelary Blaine's telegram stating tho position of the Government in tho matter. It was stated iv officials of the De- purtmeut of Jnsticeaud the War De partment, lu explanationof why the i.overuiueni nau taken no steps to prevent niou violence, that tho fed eral authorities aro powerless to act in eases of disorder in the States, ox cept when called upon foraC Vy the State authorities, or when n issary for the si eelal protection of Govern ment property. .Neither of these con tingencies arose at NuwOi leans. The Governor did not ask for assistance, and the public buildings at New Or leans wcrent no limn m any dauger froin the inch. These statements in dicate clearly that, un to the time of tho killingof the suspected murder ers, tho case was wholly beyond the scope of Federal action. I he fact that several of the men killed were subjects of Italy. aud the further factthat the Italian govern ment has made a formal demand for an investigation, has given the caso an aspect calling for diplomatic ne gotiations. IState Department offi cials llnd some difficulty in acting on this case lor tho reason thnt it Is entirely without precedent In the diplomatic annals cf tho country. It is settled, however, that no fur ther steps will be taken uutil all tho circumstances leading to and sur rounding the case shall have been officially communicated. Secretary Blaine refuses absolutely to discuss tho matter. He has re ceive! a number of teletrrams from Italian organisations in different parts of the country protesting agaiust what they term "an outrage,'' and demanding that all Italian citi zens or the United Btates be proper ly proieeieu against violence and race prejudice. The matter Is almost the sole topic of conversation In ui iioiuaiiu circles, ana so iar as can be ascertained the general opinion is that the Stateof Louisiana, aud not the l lilted States, must he held re sponsible. A demand of indemnity would, of course, come from the Italian government, through Itsmin ister resident, and transmitted by the (Secretary of Btate to the gov ernor of Louisiana, and if repudiated by that Btate. would be submitted to Cougress for such action as might be deemod advisable. Representative McCreary, former ly chairman of the Foreigu Affairs Commltteeof the House, said that the Mate Department had no money it could gpeud in the case, and that it wax difficult to tell just what it could do. Tho Department would have to await the reply of Governor .Mctiois to tiio communication from the Secretary, and make such fur ther investigation of the matter as ft could. Then the Becretarv would probably have to report to Comrross for such action as that body thought proper. During the first excitement ainonir the Italian residents of the United States,Baron Fava sent to tho Italian itaitan consul general at New York, me MMiowiug leiegram: 'I learn from the papers that ex eiti ment ih prevailing in tho Italian colony on account of the New Or leans events. I have to resort to your influence and authority to urge upn tiie Italians of New York that they should by dlguiied. calm, and strictly legal behavior show them- elves in these circumstances worthy of their civilized country." it is understood that similar in structions have been sent bv Baron l ava to all the other Italiau consuls in tlm 1' ultud Btates. in order to calm and avert, by this moans, to the fullest extent possible, all undue ex citement.

Supersti tious people among the French Cath olics in this city are wondering over the rate wmcii oeieu juouis .be Way last Monday, who, they claim, was stricken dumorortuasnphemy. The Rov. Father Lacusse of Montreal had opened a mission in Br. Louis's Churoh, aud ho had preached an elo oueut sermon, telliDtr the neoolu to recall the wandering and careless members of the churoh to their reli gious duties. "If you know any one." said the speaker, "that is a Catholic aud should come to this mission, remind him of it aud tell him to look to his eoul's welfare while yet there is time." '1 Ills aroused tho missionary anirlt in bis congregation, aud Louis Le May was one of therecalcltraut Cath olios who was approached to go to church. He has not been to church in a long time, and, beirg "a good fellow," his more devout eo-rellgion-ists endeavored to Induce him to re new his vows of allegiance to the Catholic faith. Le May responded to these endeavors with sal,-. i nesn. His duty was urirer! iidou him when he became enraged and said : "to nell with the mission." and then he began a profoue tirade, curs ing the mission, the Church, the priests, me rope, and overvthinir connocted with the Church. Sud denly he grew rigid, hia arms twitch ed convulsively, and he gasped for Dream, lie endeavored to speak, but he could not utter a word. He was stricken dumb. Hlnce then ho has grown a little better, but he can yet articulate only a little. The doc tors say ne had a stroke of paralysis urougui on uy ins excitement, but the h rench Catholics look upon It as a visitation from God for blasDhemv. The story is known to every Catholic in me city, ana the mission has been crowed every day since. C '. Bell Sue for ;U,000. v,irmji:ATi, Aiarcn io.
