There is a tree in Mexico called
the oily eocba. Its seed is almost en

recently shipped to Europe.and a Stutt

as a substitute for lard in making bread
and Cake. The, seed contain 12 per
cent more actual grease than ordmory
pork lard, and can be kept for months
without spoiling, lhere is said to be a
fortune awaiting the man who will go
down to Mexico and develop this business.
French statistics just published
contain alarming information concerning
the increase of crime among children of
both sexes. Tbe demoralization of the
young idea has already; reached a point
in x1 ranee which demands tbe serious at
tention of all interested in the future
welfare of the country. The number
of offenders under 16 years of age has
augmented from 2,235 to 5,579 for
bovd, and from 418 to UUS for girls.
From 16 to 21 years of age tbe number
of criminals has increased from 5,936 to
20,489 for boys, and from 1,046 to 2,-
o39 for girls. The ratio of crime among
offenders under age . has therefore con
siderably more than doubled daring the
past Ave years. The statistics register
for the first time numerous cases of sui
cide committed by children.

The Charlotte Democrat says : Sow
now some millet or corn in drills, to
have green food to cut for milch cows
and colts during August and September,
when pastures may be getting sere and
barren, and ,tne hay ana other dry ior-
ago is getting slack in the barn, it is
a great help all through the late sum
mer, and costs very little.- Bat it re
quires rich or highly fertilized ground
for it. Do not think of succeeding on
poor land, if you chooscj, you may
raise a great amount of nico forage for
winter by this plan. It is somewhat
slow to cut. but . it can be cut and
shocked in the field, and if well set and
fastened will stand a great deal of bad
weather without serious injury. Those
who onoe try green sailing in summer
and sowing corn for forage seldom aban
don it afterwards. Our late summer
season is generally very favorable for
caring this kind of forage, aad there is
nothing better than both millet and In
dian corn, if out early, before the stalk

THE
REBATE PASSES 1 THE
BESOLCriOX.
SURPLUS
Senator Vane Doc. Some Very Plain
lulklutf.
Washington, July 30 Sknatk.
As soon . the reading of the journal
was concluded the Senate went into se
cret session, but the doors were opened
in a few minutes and the public busi
ness was proceeded with.
On motion of Mr. Pugh the Senate
amendments to the House bill to pro
vide for the appointment and compensa?
tion of a district judge for the southern
district of Alabama were reconsidered
and the amendment (section 3) fixing
the salaries of all the judges of the dis
trict courts at 5,000 was struck out.
Another amendment; that no relative
of a United States judge (within the de
gree of first cousin) shall be appointed
to any office or duty in the couft of
whieh such judge h a member, was also
struck out, the reason for the action
in both cases being that the original bill
was a local one, while these amendments
(offered originally by Mr. Logan) were
of a general character.
Mr. Hoar attempted to get up his
resolution of yesterday for the appoint
ment of a ominittee to arrange for the
centennial celebration of the adoption
of the constitution (in 1889) and the
four hundredth anniversary of the dis
covery of America (in 1892), but he
found that, under the rule, the resolu
tion had gone to tbe calendar. He
therefore offered it Bgain as from him
self, (not as the report from the library
committee), and it went over till to
morrow. The Senate at noon resumed the con
sideration of the surplus resoiution.
Mr. Hoar continued his speech, in
terrupted yesterday by Mr. George's
question, to whieh Sir. Joncs.of Nevada,
repHed. tie reJterred to the question
asVed him -yesterday by Mr. George, as
to whether he knew, any method of com
pelling the owners of money to put it
in circulation. He had answered that
question in the negative. His answer',
however, applied to banks and indi
viduals. It did not apply to the' gov
ernment. The pending resolution looked
to compelling the government of the
United otates to pay out the surplus
money which was now locked up in the
treasufj beyond the reach of the busi
ness enterprises of the country.
Mr. Vance spoke in support of
the resolution as it came from
the House. It was plain and
simple and the plain people of the
country, not learned in the technicalities
of finance, so regarded it. The ques
tion simply was whether the govern
ment should pay its debts- from the
money in hand. That course was the
plainest dictate of common sense and
old-fashioned honesty. He did not
trouble himself to inquire whether the
joint resolution would or would not be
vote of want of confidence in the ad
ministration. Tbat was an argument
unworthy to be addressed to a Senator
of the United States, and it was un
worthy of the dignity of his position for
him td lit ten to Fuch an argument. To
suppose that a Senator would abandon
his honest convictions or suffer
himself to be influenced by -any consid
erations other than those affecting the
public good was insulting. To suppose
that the President desired Senators to
be actuated by any other aim in their
legislative conduct was not complimen
tary to him or to the Senate. For him
self, he had only inquired as to whether
the resolution would promote the gen
eral welfare of the people. He was con
stantly told 'that this was his adminis
tration, that he had helped to put it
in power and that as it was the only
democratio administration which the
country had had for a quarter of a cen
tury it was entitled to and should re
ceive his cordial support. That was all
very true. The administration was en
titled to and should have his best sup-

t earectf ully sul milted to the cash trad
that the duty of suspending the execu
tion of the law did not belong to the sec
retary of the treasury and should very
rarely belong to the President. On
many occasions, however, it had been
found necessary to vest in the supreme
executive authority power (in emergen
cies) of suspending the execution of the
law or the policy of Congress. But it
never had been T-ited in any subordi
nate officer, and never ought to be. The
amendment was agreed to.
Mr. Coke moved to add the follow
ing proviso: Provided that such sus
pension and the reasons therefor shall
be reported to Congress within ten days
after its next meeting or immediately,
if Congress shall be in session. Agreed
to.
The chair laid before the Senate a
message from the President, returning,
with his objections, an act to authorize
the construction of a highway bridge
across part of lake Champlain, the ob
jections being that an act for ' the same
purpose was already on the statute
book and that he could not dis
cover any excuse or necessity for
new legislation on the subject. The
message was laid on the table and or
dered printed.
Mr. Maxey addred the S jnite on the
surplus resolution, favoring it as it
came from thoHouse. The committee
amendment as amended was then
agreed to; yeas 37, nays 27
Mr. Sewell moved s au amendment
the bill for the reoeipt of trade dollars
at their face value. Mr, Edmunds
moved to lay it on the table. Rejected;
30 to 31. The amendment was then
agreed to; yeas 34, nays 29. The joint
resolution and amendment were reported
to the Senate. The vote was then taken
on the trade dollar amendment and it
was agreed to; yeas 33, nays 30. Mr.
Gorman moved to lay the joint resolu
tion on the table. Rejected; yeas 50,
naps 57. Tbe joint resolution was then
passed; yeas 42, nays 20.
The House bill to inereaso the naval
establishment was then taken up,
amended and passed.
A conference was asked for and Messrs.
Cameron, Hale and MePherson were
appointed conferees Adjourned.

Mr. Smalls, of South Carolina,, offered
a resolution appropriating 100,000 for
the relief of persons rendered destitute
by the overflow of the Santee, jPcedee
and Waccamaw rivers, in South Carolina,
which was referred to the committee on
appropriations.
In compliance with the arrangement
made yesterday, the House resumed the
consideration of the vetoed pension
bills, the first being that granting fifty
dollars per mouth to the widow of Gen.
David R Hunter.
The House refused to pass the bill
over the veto; yeaa 111, nays 108; not
a constitutional two-thirds in the affirm
ative.
The consideration of the vetoed bills
granting pensions to Mary Norman.
John W. Farris and David T Elderkin
was postponed until next session.
The House refused to pass orrr the
President's veto, yeas 119, nays 95,
(not a constitutional two-thirds in the
affirmative) the bill granting a pension
to Mary Anderson. This disposed of
the vetoed pension bills upon the calen
dar, and, in accordance with an agree
ment, the House resumed the consider
ation of the inter-State commerce bill
The previous question was ordered and
the question recurred on the substitute
(the Reagan bill) to the Senate bill (the
Cullom bill ) The substitute was agreed
to; yeas 166, nays 104.
Mr. Baker, of New York, moved to
recommit the bill, with instructions to
the committee on commerce to report it
back amended by the substitution of
the Senate bill. Lost; yeas 70, nays

the adoption of the Reagan substitute
was then passed; yeas ley, nays 41,

THE SCNDBY CIVIL BILL MB. MAURt's
APPOINTMENT.
Washington, July 30. The con
ferees on the sundry civil bill discussed
that measure for two hours last night
and then postponed further conference
until tonight. The Senate amendments
increase the total appropriations ovsr
twopiillion dollars. Tho increase is di
vided up among some 250 amendments
which fact involves considerable work
in the conference The conferees on the
deficiency bill have not had a meeting,
but will probably get together tonight.
rrobabiy nfteen minutes will suihee to
disposa of the fortifications bill so far as :
the House appropriations committee is
concerned, as it is only neces
sary to go through tho formation
of reporting back tho disagreement
as to the Senate amendment, with a re
quest for a conference. The committee
will not be called together for that pur
pose, however, before tomorrow after-
noon, so that it is aouDttui.u a confer
ence can be ordered before Monday. In
a secret session this morning Senator
VanWyok offered a resolution provid-
rag that the extraumon treaty wun
Great Britain fhall be considered with
open doord The resolution Will be con
sidered when the treaty comes up. The
secret session lasted only a few minutes,
but the galleries, the upper corridorb
and the committee rooms wero cleared
of all their occupants; at least all but one
a stranger who seemed to have been
overlooked. During the ,6ecret session
this gentleman innocently walked into
the gallery. He was appalled by the
warning gesticulations of the Senate
officials on the floor and backed out very
hastily. He has not since been seen
about the building.
Mr. Butler introduced in the Senate
and asked for immediate consideration
of a joint resolution providing for one
month's extra pay of certain employees
of the Senate and House.
Mr. Edmunds objected to its immedi
ate consideration and it was referred to
the committee on contingent expenses.
The President today nominated Dab-
ney li. xnaury, ol v lrginia, to be en
voy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary of the United States
to tho United States of Colombia.
Not of tbe Crop",
TheWadcsboro Intelligencer says: The
past week has been a perfectly glorious
one for the farmers, and with the encr
getic work which they put in on the
cotton and corn fields, has changed ma
terially for the better. Ihey have killed
i a a a I 1
many a good bale oi nay, ana crop-
that were not swept away by the flood
in the bottom lands will make much
more than was expected, and the wolt
has fled from the door. Corn; bread,
however, will be the main stake; as the
wheat crop is -undoubtedly short by
half an average crop.
The Pittsboro Home says: Tbr
ground is hard and dry, and vegetation
is beginning to suffer. Corn will be
cut short very soon, if no rain comes to
its relief.
The Greensboro Watchmen says: Corn
has in some places been drowned out,
while in other places, notably in Orange
and Alamance counties, along the hill
sides and ridges, you can easily see
that the yield must be very heavy.
The Greene county Enterprise says :
The crops have very much improved in
the past week, and the farmers are more
cheerful. With good seasons from now
until the fall 'it is thought that there
will be about an average crop of both
cotton and corn made in Greene county
this year.

did iron bridge on the Carolina Central
extension at the First Broad river has
been completed and the track laid be
yond the river. The bridge is a great
piece of work, six hundred feet long
and eighty feet high, one of .the finest
bridges in the State The character cf
the work done is the best evidence
that the Carolina ; Central has come to
stay, tor some years now this road
has been improving its road-bed and
track, preparatory to making a great
thoroughfare, and the day is not far
distant, we think, when it will become
a great through line between the At-
antio coast and the northwest. The
force is now at work on the bridge
across Brushy creek. In October it is
assured the train will run to Ruther-

believed that the action of the House in
passing the joint resolution (207 to 65)
reflected the wishes of the people and
he proposed to be obedient to the pop
