This, he explains;, may happen from a variety of causes such as the roots ot previous crops iaking some years to, decay, and the want of sufficient alkaline salts in the subsoil.; He lays particular stress on the fact that all, our agricultural operations tend to aooumu late the food of plants close to the sur face of the soil, while it lis only such soluble salts as chlorides and nitrites of soda and lime which pass quickly into the sub-soil and carry in the drainage water. He ako points out the ftct that a deep-rooting plant like clover, feed ing ou lime, has little chance against a creeping-rooted plant like couch-grass, which feeds on silica, a far more abund ant produot in most soils.! It is to be remembered, however, that there are many forms of "clover-sickness," and probably as many different causes. One form of it is due to a fungus, and "clover fungus" is more common than is generally supposed. Some German observers hold that oloyer-siokness is due to parasites in the toil, bat they have adduoed no positive avidenoe.ef this. As, however, "beet-sickness" has, in certain instances, been; traeed to Darasitcs in the soil, it is unite within the range of posibility that the failure of clover may sometimes result from a suni lar eaaa.

KJHed. A ntSPBBATI HAND-TO-HANO FIGHT Bl TWRRN MEXICAN TBOOPB AND BANDITS. Chicago, Sept. 18. A special to the Times from Lampasas regarding the killing of El Coyote, says : "Capt. Jose Maria Herrera and seventy men of the 10th cavalry sur rounded El Coyote- and thirty of his band yesterday while enjoying an after noon nap at Santa Domingo ranch. Their horses were staked out, their guns stacked and the bandits had their shoes off when the soldiers quietly approached with drawn swords, and began the work of extermination. The bandits were taken by surprise but made a desperate hand-to-hand fight and twenty of them fought their way through the ranks of the troops. Eight were killed and two wounded. Among the kilted are Col. Juan Rodriguiz Martinez, better known as El Coyote, Capt. Manuel Perez Yela and Lieut. Paulina Chavery. The troops lost one killed and one wounded; It is a matter of general surprise that the wily Coyote, who has so long been a terror on the border, should have been caught napping. When the troops closed in on the slum bering bandits, El Coyote wsb the first to awake. He fought like a demon and tried to rally his: men, but his herculean form went down pierced by a dozen sabres amidst exultant yells and victo rious whoops. J he bodies of the eight bandits were buried where they fell." The tiraa Taebt Baca, NawpoRT, R. I., Sept. 18. The great yacht race is the event here today. The course is trianguLr, about 45 miles long. The signal was given for the start at 10.30. The Galatea crossed the line at 10.32, the Puritan at 10.33 and the Mayflower at 10 42. The latter was half a minute behind at the start. There are ten other schooners and sloops in the race. - 12.25 p. M. The Galatea is in front and has a good lead. The Puritan is gaining on her, but the Mayflower does not seem to be overhauling either sloop. Nwport, 1 10 p m. Part of the yachts have turned the stake boat. A large sloop which cannot be distin guished is ahead. The wind is getting very light and the race cannot be fin ished by daylight unless it freshens. Nrwport, I. 9 t. m The win ners of the race are as follows : the Galatea was the first of the first-class sloops ; the Stranger of the second-class sloops, and the Gitana of the schooners. In the third-class all were ruled out for fouling a buoy. No official time is sent. H Nrwport, R. I., 6.30 p. m. As there is no time limit to the race, it is proba ble that the yachts will drift around until they reach the winning line, which will be several hours. It is now too dark to distinguish any of the yachts The pleasure yachts are all abandoning the drifting yachts. Hvxleo Bow culta Coart.au. New Labsdo, Mex., Sept. 18. Yes terday afternoon U. S. consul Maakey, of this city, on hearing that an Ameri can oitixen named Robles was under arrest, charged with desertion from the Mexican army, called upon the regi mental commander and through his in fluence had the prisoner released. His release was purely a matter of courtesy to the United States government, as there can be no doubt the man was really a deserter. This action on the part of the Mexican authorities causes much favorable comment from Americans on both sides of the river.

Lenwane, Clinton, Liviogston and Wayne oonnties were the chief suf ferers, but serious damage has been re ported at other points. At Brighton barns were blown to pieoes, orchards and crops ruined and a new German Lutheran ohuroh blown from its founda tion. In Victor township, Clinton county, houses and barns were wrecked and scattered broadcast. At Howell the greatest fury was appa rent.

The coke syndicate has decided to close down all the works in the Connellsville region Wednesday, until further notice, on ac count of the falling off in demand. No change has been made in prices, because the present slackening demand is not considered as indicating any change in the volume of the iron trade. It was caused by a number of furnaces having gone out of. bl&st for repaiis and every one of these will go into blast again as soon as the repairs are oomplet d. The production of pig iron during July and August was greater than during those months of any previous year Thus, although the demand is large aud steady, stocks nave been increased, us to be abundant to meet it.

It may not be generally known that on the line of Saunders street, the prin cipal thoroughfare of the northwestern part of the oity, there are fissures of equal length and much greater width Would it not be well that the street commission examine them, as they are dangerous to travel on that route? H.lp tba Hospital. St. John's hospital is certainly an in stitution in which the people of Raleigh should feel a peculiar pride. It is, strictly speaking, the only hospital in the State and it merits the most cordial support The institution is seldom well povided with funds and is too often con ducted in a hand-to-mouth fashion. The earthquake injured the chimneys and two of them will have to be taken down. The roof is greatly in need of repairs. Altogether $500 is needed at onoe to put the hospital in the shape it should be in. The News and Observer has several times printed appeals for aid for the hospital, and invariably there have met with kindly and prompt re- l.l ..I -1 r - sponses. It is nopoa mat tne pcopie i Raleigh will give like heed to this ap- peal, and help this worthy institution, which ha relieved and is relieving so muoh distress. Raleigh's charity is well known. It is certain that no place in the State has more appeals for aid and none are permitted to go unanswered. This appeal is a very earnest one. Win ter is coming on; the season when such an institution needs and must have tha. most particular care. Mr. A. P. C. Bryan, the treasurer, who was inter viewed yesterday by a reporter, is the authority for the above statement of the hospital's wants. It is yet a little early, but people are reminded that thanksgiv ing day approaches and that it is hoped steps will be taken, as was done last year, to make special donations to the hospital.

Since the announcement last week, by- the News and Observer, that Ral eigh wss to have a cotton eomprdss, very great interest has been felt by tho business public in this new enterprise, which all men of judgment know will very greatly increase tho cotton receipts of liaLcigh and prove of value in other ways. Last evening Mr. Omega II. Foster president of the Raleigh com press company, returned from Philadel phia, where ho purchased a Morse com press,? ninety-inch cylinder, of tho v.ry ldtest and fioest pattern. Of the 111 compresses in the United States, about eighty are the Morse pa tent. This one weighs obU.UUU pounds and it will requirs twelve cars to trans port it here. It stands thiriy-four feet in height from the base to the top of the cylinder. All tho work is of the very best character, lhe compress will be shipped in a few days and it will be up and in working order in thirty days. It will be erected at the northwest corner of the cotton platform, where the two railway tracks meet. Its capacity ia 1,600 bales a day. The work of com pressing will be done in the most thor ough manner, equal to the best in tie united States, lhe compress company has a capital of $5U,U00. Rileigh will hereafter buy cotton at compress ratej; that is there will be an aii vai. ue ui g cent a pouna. J. nai is big 'thing. This market is always 8tiff;one, very nearly equalling Norfolk in prices, and with this advance it w pay butter to ship cotton hero than! ill to Norf.ik. Tho compress will do a business.
