It is expected to produce a revenue ot 115,000,000 a year, which is regarded as suf ficient for the support of the insular government and also to reduce ma terially imports from all countries except the United States and Spain. The State Department has no of ficial information in regard to the reported alliance formed by Austria, Germany and Russia against the United States, nor that Italy and France were likely to join the league, The story is not believed.

While steaming at eight or nine knots it would not be prac ticable to attach a torpedo to the bottom of any ship." The United States will not inter fere with Cuba's intention to pay the bonds issued during the rebellion. Under the Piatt,, amendment the amount of the indebtedness is limit ed by the provision that the govern ment shall not assume any public debt upon which the ordinary re venues of the government will not pay the interest, and also to create a sinking fund to pay the principal after defraying the expenses of the government. With these limit, how ever, Cuba is free to do as it pleases. Secretary Gage is willing to act on the decision of the Controller that the Secretary has authority to refund the duties collected on goods imported into the United States from Porto Rico between the date of the taking effect of the Treaty ol Paris and going into effect of the Foraker law, and has referred the matter to the Attorney General for his opin ion, l he Uontroller held some lure ago that duties collected in Porto Rico could not be refunded without special authority from Congress. The State department has receiv- j ed a curious complaint of alleged discouragement of the return of the Spaniards to the Philippine The private steamship lines which ply between Manila and Spanish ports are charging what are to be exorbi tant rates, and the Spaniards have a suspicion that the steamship com panies are encouraged to this by Amnrican officials,' who wish to keep Sianiards away from the Philippines. .The State company knows nothing of the matter hut it ally doubts the report, Minister Wu, of Chins, has filed claime against the United States for $500,000 indemnity for alleged in juries suffered by Chinese subjects at the hands of Americans in Mon tana. The injuries complained of date back to 1880 when the Miners' union at Butts, Mont, declared boycott against sli Chinese in that place.

Hackett will ten der his resignation as Assistant Secretary of the Navy in the fall. His place may possibly be filled by the reappointment of Charles M. Allen to the place which he quitted to become Governor of Porto Rico. The post is a most important one. The Porto Rican regiment, made up of natives and officered by Ameri cans, has survived the mustering out of the rest of the volunteer array and will probably ultimately be in corporated in the regular establish ment. - The officers expect this, and are holding their commissions with every prospect that in the transfer they will be provided with life positions. - Members of the Interstate 'Com merce commission have rt oaive no information in regard to the charges by Western shippers that the rail roads have advanced traffic rates from 30 to 50 per cent by man- puluting the classification of ship nents, and have not been advised of the intention of the Western shippers to bring this matter before them. Until these charges ure made,' the Interstate Commerce commission will not do anything in the matter, as it has nothing on which to base action. Secretary Gage is not well, al though he is attending to his du ties. His physicians have advised him to take a rest, at least during the hot season. The Secretary's condition ia not at all alarming, but he is worn out by the strain under which he labored during Mrs. Gage's illness and since hei death.

The chicks are strong from the first, good growers and easily raised. The great objection to this breed Is their feathered legs, and this objection Is more serious now than formerly, as the tendency of fancy breeding baa been toward heavier leg and toe feeth- OKa or tit BABjnrooro. erlng. This tendency Is to be viewed with alarm. We have already seen the Buff and Partridge Cochins practically taken out of tbe ranks of utility breeds by forcing them to be first of all feath er producers. It will be too bad If the Brahmas, the grandest of all breeds, shall be forced to follow them. Feathers on the feet and legs of chickens are objectionable from a prac tical standpoint They become accumu lators of filth In pens and yards and present an unslgbUy appearance upon the dressed carcass. Neither do they add to the beauty of the fowl. It Is true we have been accustomed to think that they are a necessary adjunct to the Asiatic breeds, but why should It be so?

It seems out of place to alloy tbe blood of tbe grand old, breed with that of soy other. I then began with birds of absolutely pure breeding, selecting those with at light leg and toe feathering as I could find and breeding from tbe cleanest legged of their descendants until I have succeeded In establishing a strain of pure bred light Brabross that are practically without leg and toe feather ing, fend they are beauties, as the very lifelike drawing by Mr. UIcbaadsoD, ac companying this article, clearly shows.

' Then tbe feed ing sheep are apt to crowd each other, which Is a serious objection, particu larly with horned sheep, and much harm may result Sometimes sheep get Into the habit of Jumping Into tbe racks; lambs nearly always do so Ue on the hay and befoul It These and wther drawbacks brought out tbe rack here described by a Farm and Fire side correspondent: . The rack is a- box 10 feet long and 13 Inches high, similar In construction to the old feeding rack, except that the sides and ends are tight, for the sheep are expected to food from the top In stead of from the sides. The Interesting part of ths rack Is Its rover, which Js constructed In the fol lowing manner; Lay a six. Inch fence board lengthwise centrally Upon the rack having It rest on the ends of sane. . Crosswise to this nail on short pieces of board six inches wide and Just long enough to rest on tbe sides without projecting. Space these boards IS inches from center to center, which will be about right for average sheep. They should also be tapered down to 2Vt Inches at each end, and be snre not to have any sharp or ragged edges about them, nor anywhere else about the rack; have everything smooth. It will take 11 erosaplecee for a 10 foot rack, and such a one will accommodate 24 sheep. This cover, as so far described. Is to be hinged to the rack' by means of three T hinges, so it may be easily rals TODIXa BACK TOR STOKf. ' td and lowered when It Is desired to fill the rack with bay or fodder., A piece of small rope orclotbesllne is tobt fastened to ths middle erossplece of tbe cover Just opposite the hinge. This Is run over a little pulley fastened to a Joist above. A snap or hook should be fastened to the other end of tbe rope aud a small ring tied into the rope at the proper place, so the cover msy be secured. In an upright position when filling the rack, by catching the snap Into the ring. ... This cover la not yet quite completed. Some means must be provided to pre vent sheep from Jumping upon i the rack. This Is accomplished by setting up three standards 18 or 20 Inches high, one at each end of tbe cover and one lu the center, aud they may be braced as shown In the lllustratleu. To these Is nailed another fence board, and tbea the feeding rock Is complete. Oeorsla Statloa Cor Nates.
