It is deemed advisable to issue this" preliminary report before any fertili zer analyses are sent out by the Ex periment Station in order that every one who Is interested in the forth coming analyses will be able to recog nize what difficulties have to be met in ibe varied requirements incident to the regulation of fertilizer control. In the first place there have been two objections urged against the analyses of fertilizers as made in the past, either of which it is .considered by some may tend to defeat the princi pal object; for which these early analy ses are desired- 1. That owing to the late period at which the analyses have heretofore appeared, the benefits to the farmers who Wish to consult these analyses before purchasing their fertilizers, for the spring sowing have not been as great aa could be the case were these analyses given to the public at an earlier date. .2. That if samples are taken early in fcii season and the analyses pub lished, it may be believed by some that', manufacturers might take ad vantage of this fact and ship a lower grade of goods into the State after ihe first examination has been made and the result published. As to this last, while we do not be lieve that there are any fertilizer manufacturers now dealing in the State who would be guilty of such fraudulent schemes, yet to make our position perfectly secure, the official inspector will be on the road and will take Samples of all brands found, not only in the early part of the season, but in the middle and latter part, so that by a comparison of the analyses of samples taken during the various stages of the season it can be made evident that no deterioration in grade can occur without such fact becoming known to ns. The fertilizer law is very strict in regard to this point and will be rigid ly enforced. A variation in analysis showing a variation in grade will Sub ject anybrand to seizure by the in spector, i The farmers of the State may be sure that their interests will! be pro tected by every official endeavor on our part. It only remains then to see if the analysis cannot ba published at 'the vry earliest date aa well as later on. The analysis of a fertilizer is a much more difficult work than is generally sup posed, for much skill and no less than four days and sometimes more, are requited to complete it. But by sys tematic working several analyses , can be made at the same time, and the work thereby1 greatly facilitated. Believing it of the utmost impor tance that the result of these analyses shall reach the eyes of the farmers at the earliest possible, date, the labora tory will be pushed to its utmost ca pacity to attain this object consistent with accurate work and justice to all parties concerned to both farmers and manufacturers. Working now as is the case with ft greatly decreased force, thia promise means heavy work and a strain both day end night for several months, but aa it will redound to the interest of the people we feel that the endeavor to be of the most service to. the peo pie will be appreciated by them. A word in regard to the sampling of fertilizers. The official inspector takes the sample in the presence of the agent selling the same, who testi fies that the sample is a fair one and taken according to the inspector's in structions. A numbered tag is placed with'' the sample, whicli is her metically' sealed in a tin can in the Agent's presence and forwarded by express for analysis; and not till the analysis is completed and the results reported, is the name of the sample known to ns. The inspector is ea pecially instructed not to draw sam ples: from goods in any exposed or damaged condition and to sample at least, one-tenth of the bags in any given lot. With this system it is impossible lor ub to get other than lair and aver age samples, and for the analysis to De other tnan strictly impartial. 'it . H. 13. Battle, Director. 1C0NGRESS.

TI1ATIO.VIA, MICHIGAN, ROMANCE. Judge A. B. Morse, of Ionia, Mich who. has; been held in some quarters more or less responsible for the ma licious falsehood recently told on Congressman Henderson, writes a let ter to the Wilmington JUessenatr, in which he says: "I wish to set myself lgbt with the people of Mr. Header son's State. The Herald special was a lie manufactured out of the simple fact, ol ; the banquet, the presence of Messrs. Henderson, Tarsney and myself there, and Mr. Henderson's response to a toast in a speech Which he himself has since then truthfully reported. The fact that Bower, instead of publishing the story in his own news paper or in any Michigan paper, when they are all eager for news, and dated the special from my home instead of his own, a lie of itself, ought to be enough to satisfy any candid man 'who is the liar.' "As soon as I found out he was the author, nearly a week ago, I wrote him, asking for the Bource of his in formation. He has not been man enough to reply. He is busy now. in our papers' trying to explain. It is needless to say that his evasions and prevarications only tie him up more strongly in the rope the lie of his own making."

FIRST SKIRMISH ON THE SUBJECT OF REVENUE REFORM. is THE WAYS AND MEAN3 COMMITTEE VICTORY FOB THE REFORMEBSi OTHER TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. ' Train Robbers. Esst St. Louis, Jan. 19 Train robbers were found last night in an attempt to rob an express train on the Wabash & Western road at Cooler's Lake, twenty-four miles east of Kansas City. The county officials had been warn ed of : the intended robbery and they sent an armed popse on the train and had another posse concealed in the woods close to Cooley's Lake., The robbero' programme was carried out all right up to a certain point. The train was stopped by a red light,and three tneD, armed with repeating rifles, covered the engineer and ordered him td dis mount. He did so, and as he reached the ground, a part of the posse , con cealed in the engine gave the robbers a volley. Others on the train came up, and so did those in the woods. The robbers returned the fire from repeating rifles, but did no harm. They ran for cover, firing when pur suit became too close. Reports have been'received that two robbers have been captured and one killed. TLey are known to be farmers living in the neighborhood of Missouri City. Paralysed In Court.

The mercury is now fifteen below and still falling. Washington; Jan. 19. The first skirmish of opposition lines on the subject of revenue reform took place today in the ways and means commit tee, resulting in a slight victory for the tariff reformers. Chairman Mill?, who has been indisposed for a day or two, was unable to attend and Mr. McMillih, of Tennessee, presided. A formal motion was made by him to refer to the appropriate committees the various bills referred to the com mittee that have been received from the Public Printer. It was adopted. Mr. McKinly, of Ohio, then moved to take; up and consider his bill repealing; the tobacco tax. Some discussion ensued, from which it appeared that the Democratic ma jority was averse to considering any specific reduction bill at this time, preferring to take up that class of bills in connection with the general reduction bill which it is the intention of the committee to present to the House. Finally Mr. Breckenridge, of Ar kansas, Jmoved to defer the considera tion of Mr. McKinly's bill until the general subject of revenue reform is taken up by the committee, and this motion, prevailed by a strict party vote of '5 to 4. The Subject is expected to come up again at the meeting of the committee next Tuesday. Unprecedented Cold In Texas. Chicago, Jan. 19. A special from Burnett, Tex., says: Reports are be ginning to come in from the wheat districts of serious damage to that cereal and it is feared every field of wheat in Burnett, Wilsbn and oth-r counties along the Colorado river has been destroyed by the severe frost Definite reports of loss of cattle du ring the recent blizzard are slowly cominer. in. Every ranchman admits a heavy loss. Sheep men report loss of from two to twelve head out every flock. The Brazos and Colora do, rivers are frozen solid, something never known before. The failure of the crops last year reduced the supply of feed for cattle, so that durincr the cold Spell the herds were without wa ter or food. Reports from the graz ing district of the State say that the cattle of the southwestern ranges weathered the great bl zzard in very good shape. The loss was confined entirely to the sickly and poorly fed slock. ' A great many large herds however, were frost bitten about the leers and since the weather has mod erated, their lees have swollen to al mo&t twice the natural size. to His Inability of ail Insurance Agent Principal. Cor. ofthje News and Observer. The question of how far an agent of an insurance company can go o: his own accord, in disregard of his principal's instructions, ia a matter of considerable interest. It is a general rule of law, that all contracts made by a Servant, within the scope of his authority, either expressed or im plied, bind the master. This liability of the master is founded on the ground of the respect of authority delegated to : the servant. Now would seem that the principal should have some recourse and protection when his agent or servant disregards instructions directly given.

THE PACIFIC RAILROADS. president Cleveland's special message to congress concerning thfm. On Tuesday the President sent to Congress a message transmitting the Pacific railroad reports. The House ordered the message and reports to bo printed. After reviewing the circumstances under which the Commission was ap pointed and the duties prescribed for them by act of Congress, the I resi dent says the Commissioners have been unable to agree upon how these roads should be treated respecting their indebtedness- to the United States or to unite upon the plan best calcu ated to secure the payment of such indebtedness. This has resulted in the preparation of two reports. The majority of the Commission are in favor of an extension of the time for the payment of the Government indebtedness of toe companies, upon certain conditions. But the chairman of the Commission, presenting the minority report, recommends, both upjn principle and policy, the insti tution of proceedings for the forfeit ure of the charters of the corpora tions and the winding up of their affairs. The President reviews the argu ments in defense of the railroads and hen recalls the grants and benefits derived from the general Government by both the Union and Central Pa cifies for the purpose of aidirg the1 construction of their roads. "The laws enacted in aid of these roads, while they illustrated a pro fuse liberality and a generous surren der of the government's advantages, which, it is hoped, experience has cor rected, were nevertheless passed,upon the theory that the roads should be constructed according to the common rules of business, fairness and duty, and that their value and their ability to pay their debts should not be im paired by unfair manipulations; and when the uovernment subordinated its hen to another it was in the ex pectation that the prior lien would represent in its amount only such bonds as should be necessarily issued by the companies for the construc tion of their roads at fair prices agreed upon in an honest way be tween real and substantial parties. For the purpose of saving or improv ing the security thus afforded by its junior lien -the Government should have the right now to purge this par amount lien of all that is fraudulent, fictitious or unconscionable. If the transfer to innocent hands of bonds of this character secured by such first mortgage prevents their cancel lation it might be well to seek a remedy against those who issued and transferred them. If legislation is needed to secure such a remedy the Congress can readily nupply it. "It is quite time that the trouble some complications surrounding this entire subject, whica has been trans mitted to us as a legacy from former days, should be adjusted and settled. "No one, I think, expects that these railroad companies will be able to pay their immense indebtedness to the Government at its maturity. "Any proceeding or arrangement that would result now, or at any other time, in putting these roads or any portion of them in the possession and control of the Government, is, in my opinion, to be rejeoted-1-certainly as long as there is the least chance for indemnification through any other means. "I suppose we are hardly justified in indulging the irritation and indig nation naturally arising from a con templation of malfeasance to such an extent as to lead to the useless con- A TRIUMPH.

" we cup me joiiowuig: "In the suit of the Hanover Com pany and the Underwriters' Agency againBt its agent, E. B. Ames, for the amount of a loss which the company suffered through the neglect of the defendant to obey its orders, a judg ment was recovered against Nr. Ames. He placed a risk on the fixtures of the American District Telegraph Com pany, in the Warner block, after the general agent had instructed him to place no more there. A verdict was returned against him for $209, tne amount of the Hanover s loss, and a proportional amount for the loss of the Citizens. The case created seme interest because it was the first one of the kind ever tried in this part of the country. Judge Ames is one of the best known insurance agents in Minneapolis." The bearing and ruling of .the law seems to be plain and unmistakable. There is no question that the master is liable for the acts of his servant, if done by his command, either ex pressly or impliedly given. It would seem to be a legal hardship if an agent could disregard at his will his principal's express instructions, in consequence of which his principal sustained inconvenience and loss; and the principal be without any remedy It would be well for agents to con aider these matters.
