A Yaj-ary ot iho Law. A man in the citj of Baltimore etol a cat. The owner of the cat procured his arrest on a warrant for theft. Then the man's lawyer arose and told the court that his client had not stolen a oat, because it was legally impossible to steal a cat, because only property can be stolen, and cats in the commonwealth of Maryland are not property, but feras natnrn that is td say, fierae, which are wild beasts, such as tigers, lions and felis catus, living in the state of nature. The jnJge was 6truck dumb by this argument of the man's lawyer, and referred the ques tion to the attorney-general, a person of great learning, who in his youth was a mighty hunter of wild-cats, which he pursued over peaks and through chasms of the Blue Ri3ge and chased over back fences and through vacant lots in his native village. The formal decision of this eminent au thority has established that, under Maryland law, you cannot steal a cat. Which is another illustrative example of the variation and conflict of the local laws in this country. Legal Adviser. Japanese Patriotism. Lafcadio Ilearn asked in different classes of his Japanese school for writ ten anitwers to the question: "What is your dearef-t wish?" Twenty per cent, wished to gain glory by dying for the Emperor. Others stated a similar wifih in less definite language. Patriotism is, in Japan, devotion to the ruler personally rather than the country. -Atlanta Constitution. Berlin is one of tbo most cos mopolitan of European cities. Though it is the capital of Germany, only thirty-seven per cent, of its inhabi tants are Germans by birth. The McnruKua Canal. The projeot- or tuo Nicaragua Canal has been debated in tho U. K. Senato very vigor ously. One thing should be remembered about thnt climate ; It is death to almost every foreigner who gos thero, and laborers espeoially succumb.

I have made a discovery new to me, at least that the timber of the honey locust, Gleditschia triacantha, is as good, or nearly, as hickory for ax helves and handles of all kinds, writes E. 8. Gilbert to the New York Tribune. The sap wood of the yellow locust is not much good. The honey locust, like the hickory, has strong timber clear to the bark, at least in young trees. The honey locust is eas ier to start from the seed than the other. The nurseries sell the year ling plants for almost nothing ; it has no borer that I know of; its tough limbs are not torn off by the wind ; it seldom suckers, and is perhaps the hardier of the two. A butt I cut this fall has annual layers half an inch thick, and the wood is hard and heavy. A GREAT PTE APPLE. We have recently mentioned the Ben Davis as a leading profitable or chard fruit, both at the West and the East. That veteran fruit grower of Missouri, Judge Samuel Miller, says of it, that, while not first rate in qual ity, the vigor, productiveness and early bearing of the tree render it safe to plant extensivoly. Even in Eng land it is reported to give satisfaction. The fruit dried or evaporated is white and good; it makes excellent cider and is fine in apple butter. For pies it is a great favorite; a bakery in Chicago, which turns out 10,000 pies daily, uses the Ben Davis exclusively. Fruit of this tree grown on an up land, on trees not overloaded, is quite diflerent from the product of over loaded trees on bottom land. Culti vator and Country Gentleman. A NEGLECTED BUT VALUABLE PEAB. The Forelle pear is seldom seen, but it has so many good qualities that it merits a much more general planting. It is called by tho Germans, from whom we have it, Forellen-birne, i. e., Trout pear, because it is speckled like the brook trout. The pear is below medium in size, inclining to pyri form in 6hape. When fully ripe, it is of yellow lemon color, with a deep red cheek on the sunny side, marked with bright crimson specks. The tree is a good grower and a regular bearer. It is fine grained, buttery and melting in quality. It ripens late in Ootober and with care may be kept until Christmas. With our modern cold storage facilities, there would not be the slightest trouble in prolonging its season until well along in January and perhaps later. American Agricultur ist. THE BEECH AS A BOAD3IDE TREE. Nurserymen propagate and trans plant beech trees in large numbers without experiencing any great diffi culty in mating them grow. The transplanting, however, is usually done while the trees are small, or from five to eight feet high, for larger specimens are rather difficult to handle, owing to their widespreading roots. We certainly do not know of any good reason for the almost general neglect of the American beech, for it is surely one of our most beautiful and graceful trees, and so hardy that it thrives even far beyond the limits of our territory to the northward. Small trees found in open woods and fields may.be transplanted by giving a little care to the preservation cf the roots, and then severely pruning the branches before or as soon as planted. The trees selected for street, roadsides and parks ara mainly the choice of nurserymen wbo have a stock of the quick-growing and cheapest kinds. If the beech, chestnut, walnut and hick ory were planted in the streets and parks of our cities their nuts, when ripe and falling, would be a great temptation to the small boy and his sister, and this would never do in this age of high moral culture in cities. We advise you to plant a row of beech trees, and then enjoy thinking what a good time the children of the neigh borhood will have a few yeara hence gathering the delicious nuts. New York Sun. DYEING AND COLORING SHEEP PELTS. A correspondent asks how to cleanse and color sheep pelts for rugs. The following directions for tanning and cleansing are as good as any and are also the least troublesome way. Make a strong lather with soft soap and hot water, and let it stand till cold. Wash the sheepskin in it, carefully squeeze out all dirt from the wool. Wash in cold water till all the soap is out. Dissolve one pound each of salt and alum in two gallons of hot water, put the skin into a tub and pour the liquid over it. If not sufficient to cover, add more hot water. Let soak for twelve hours, then hang on a pole to drip. When well drained, stretch carefully on a board to dry, and stretch several times while drying. Before quite dry, sprinkle on the flesh side one ounce each of powdered alum and salt peter, rubbing it in well. If the wool is not firm on the skin, let the skin remain a couple of days, then rub again with alum. Fold the flesh sides together and hang in the shade two or three days, turning over each day till quite dry. Scrape the flesh side well with a dull knife and rub well with pumice or rotten stone to make the skin soft. When used for mats or rugs they do quite as well if a little hard, unless you want to sew the skins together, when they should be soil. Several skins may be sewed together to make large rugs. Woodchuck, skunk, cat and calfskins may be tanned by the same process as for sheep pelts. For coloring use diamond diss. Sew a loop of strong cloth onto each corn er of the pelt ; prepare your dye in a shallow vat or pan that has a large suface, have the dye hot and the wool damp, let two persons stand opposite each other, each holding two corners of tne pelt by the cloth loops, and dip the wool side into the dye bath, mov ing gently till all parts are colored alike. Rinse in the same manner, this prevents coloring or injuring the skins. Wool carriage mats are easily re-dyed in the same manner as the sheep pelts. When the wool is dry card it until it is smooth and fluffy. New England Homestead. THT, COXjOB OF HOBSES. W. H. Hawkes writes to the Aus tralasian as follows on that vexed question, the color of horses : "It is an old saying among horsey men, 'a good horse was never a bad color,' and yet popular prejudice as signs all sorts of good or evil traits of character to particular colors. I can quite understand this with those who do not know better ; but that an ex pert, like an Indian buyer, should hold to the popular fallacy ia almost beyond belief, seeing that we havb had innumerable instances, both in the old country and here, to the con trary. It was recently that some four or five races were won in one day up on one of our local courses by chest nuts, and I think the fact was men tioned by one of your contributors, and they are eqnally good either in saddle or harness. Yet there are numbers who will condemn a chest nut at once for his color only, be he ever so perfect in every other respect. The objection to a gray one can un derstand from a groom's point of view, seeu jj that they are so difficult to keep free from strains as age whitens their coats, but for no lack of good constitution or disposition. "Some will tell you that a roan is the hardiest of all horses, and yet I venture to assert that a greater por tion of aged roans does not exist. Others credit black horses with being allied to Dragonfels himself for tem per and untrustworthiness. The only objection to him ia that he is very rusty in his winter garb. " 'White legs are always a sign of weakness,' you are told by many. But I think three to one would be fair bet ting against the one white leg out of a set of four, the others being black. What about Odd Stockings and All Fours? Surely if white Jegs were a sign of weakness, such horses should break down at a very early stage of their career. Most judges prefer bays with black points, and it would be difficult to beat them for general ap pearance the year through, but I for one should certainly deny to them a monopoly of sound constitutions, tractability, intelligence, and all other virtues. I am quite with Mr. Basil Gray in his general remarks, but even he errs the other way, as he credits white legs with being indicative of 6ome peculiar virtue or, aa he says, 'they always denote quality.' This I very much doubt. That skillful break ing and future wise education has most to do with the charaoter and useful ness of a horse, as well as a man, irre spective of his color, oan, I think, he accepted as a settled fact. Renfrew was a splendid tempered horse until teased to such an extent that he be came a man-eater. Many a two-legged brother has had his character spoiled by those who should have helped to make him better. That horses, like men, have their temperaments goes without saying. That an eye for the beautiful leads fanciers to reject pie bald, skewbald, and horses with wall eyes and big blazes for hacks or car riage purposes is not to be wondered at. But that any should condemn many of our really beautiful chestnuts is an enigma. "The objection purely to oolor is, I think, much akin to the action of one who crosses himself when passing in the street a jjerson with obliqne vision." Bell's London Messenger. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Stallions are cheap. Developed speed is in demand. Brood mares are selling for a song. A sandy soil is the best location for a poultry yard. A few carrots or apples are excel lent for horses. Muddy barnyards are largely re sponsible for scratches. Why not cover the bits with smooth leather for winter'use? Make the stable comfortable if you would keep down expenses. If a sheep is kept dry it will stand cold much better than heat. There is a profitable market for handsome, useful, half-bred hackneys. If orchards are to be made profit able, they must receive as good care as crops. Should you stop anywhere during the cold days don't forget to blanket the horse. Be careful not to feed the colts or horses dusty hay. The trouble can easily be remedied by shaking out the hay well and then dampening it. The early purple Guigne cherry is probably the earliest of all cherries. It is ripe here towards the close of May, nearly a month in advance of any other ; and it is of good quality. Maine is gradually increasing the number of her dairy cows in the sec tion of the State where creameries are located, and in the remote sections the dairy oows are decreasing, espe cially in the potato regions. Curvature ot the Earth. Generally speaking, we say that the curvature of the earth is about seven inches to the statute mile. More ex actly, it is 6.99 inches to the mile, or 7.982 inches for a geographical mile. The eye, even though artificially as sisted by the most improved optical instruments, cannot possibly detect or perceive the least iota of curvature, though the gaze be directed from the highest known point. This is because the eye i& not capable of comparing heights and distances. Let us make a little experiment: Take down your globe and place a book against its side. You will instantly see that there is a very small point of contact be tween the two. Now let us suppose that the earth is as smooth as a bil liard ball, and that we have a mam moth book or other large, flat surface to press against its side. At one geog graphical mile irom the point of con tact the flat surface used would stand out nearly eight inches from the earth, at three miles they will lack six feet of touching, and at nine miles fifty four feet, and so on, the number of feet separating the two surfaces at any given point being equal to two-thirds of the square of the number of miles for any observable distance. St. Louis Republic. The Moon a Piece of the Earth. When the earth was young, accord ing to the testimony of our most noted astronomers, it turned with such amaz ing rapidity that the day was only about three hours long. The entire globe wa3 a liquid then, and as it spun around at that fearful rate of speed the sun, causing ever-increasing tides upon its surface, at last pulled it asunder ! The smaller portion be came the planet which we now call the moon. The distance of this moon frcm the earth has been gradually in creasing ever since, and the time will surely come when it will not look larger than a tenth-magnitude star to the people of the earth, St. Louis Republic. FLASHED BY THE CABLE. j Late Dispatches About Occurrences in Foreign Landst THE CHINESE PEACE ENVOYS. Teit of Their Credentials Fall of "tVel-Hai-Wei Make a 1eep Impresalon in China Many Porto guee Killed by Kebelllont Kaffirs Native Outbreak on the Wit Coast of Africa. The text of the credentials of the Chinese peace envoy?, whom Japan refused to treat with on account of the insufficiency of their powers, was as follows. "By decree we appoint you our Plenipoten tiaries to meet and negotiate the matter with the Plenipotentiaries appointed by Japan. You will, however, telegraph to the Tsung-Li-Yamen (Chinese foreign office) for the pur pose of obtaining our commands, by which you will abide. The members of your mis sion are placed under your control. You will conduct your miasion in a faithful and dili gent manner, and fulfil the trust reposed in you. Respect this." A despatch to the London Times from Pekin savs tho capture of Teng Chou (Wei-Hai-Wei) has made a deeper impression upon the Chinese than the fall of Port Arthur. The reported refusal of Japan to treat with the Chinese envoys confirms the belief expressed in Pekin that the Japanese are not willing to name their terms of peace. Imprisonment of Armenians. A despatch from Constantinople, report ing recent trials of Armenians at Yoozgat, Pashalic of Sivas, Asia Minor, says that many of the prisoners were' condemned without be ins: permitted to give evidence ia their own behalf. In one case a prominent Armenian was convicted although he proved that he was in prison at the time his alleged offence was committed. There were many similar cases, the trials being a complete farce. Armenians are being swept into prison by wholesale, tortured, and money extorted from them to gratify private spite. At Sivas twenty children were im prisoned for two months, their offence being the formation of a society to raise sub scriptions for the assistance of poorer chil dren. Many Armenians have been thrown Into prison for having in their possession Bibles and other books that did not bear the stamp of the censor. The Kaffir Rebellion. Advices rocelved at Cape Town, South Africa, from Lourenzo Marquez are to the effect that the rebellious Kaffirs entered the Portuguese camp at Maraqueen by the treacherous use of a flag of truce and the pass port, which they had by some means obtained. Onoe in the camp, they fiercely attacked the sleeping Portuguese, who were unable to get at their big guns. Lieutenant Antonio rallied his men and kept fighting after his body had been pierced by an assegai. Inde pendent reports are that from fifty to seventy of the Portuguese were killed and many wounded. British and German men-of-war are in readiness to protect the subjects of their respective countries should such pro tection become necessary. Held Against Africans. The British Commissioner, Major Sir Claude Maxwell Maodonald, Is holding Brass, Niger Coast Protectorate, West Africa, which is one of the centros of trade on this coast, with 100 men, two seven-pound guns and one Nordenfeldt rapid-fire gun. The Niger Company's troops are holding Akassa, which was not destroyed as previously re ported; but, although all the building'3 are standing, there was a great deal of pillaging during the disturbances. It is estimated t hat 1500 natives were engaged in the outbreak. Eleven Killed In Norway. Dispatohes received from Molde, Aaslund, Bergen and Christiansrind in Norway report that at all these places earthquakes were ex perienced between 12.15 and 12.43 a. m. The shock ran in the direction of southeast to northwest. No damage was done. Eleven persons were killed by the fall W an avalanche at Kvanagen. Gold Finds in East Siberia. The Siberian newspapers announce the discovery of rich and extensive gold fields along the upper reaches of the Rivers Beya, Nena and Uibat, in the Province of Yeniseisk, East Siberia. Revolution in Colombia. General Reyes, with 3000 Government troops, recently attacked the rebels at Honda. Colombia, and defeated them. Of the rebel forces General Aldama and ninety men were killed. Cholera in Constantinople. Cholera having broken out in Constantino ple, Turkey, all vessels arriving from that port are being subjected to five days' deten tion In quarantine. TRAIN ROBBERY IN KANSAS. Passengers Forced by Masked Men to Give Up Their Valuables. The Western express on the Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe Road, train Ni. 1, bound for Colorado and California, was held up one mile west of Sylvia, Reno County, Kan., at 11.25 o'clock p. m. by four masked men, who signalled danger. Two of 'the robbers covered tho engi neer and fireman and two went to the ex press car. For some reason they failed to effect an entrance and then went to the coaches and made the passengers give up all their valuables. The train was held for an hour and ten minues by tho robbers, who then rode South. Conductor MoGrath ran the train back toSylviaand gavethe alarm, and Sheriff Pat ton was on the train with his posse in a few minutes. The men were Lo lieved to be mem bers of the Stafford ban i of desperadoes. One of the men who went through the train is described as five feet nine inohes tall. He wore a wide-rimmed gray hat. The other man was tall and wore a mackintosh. BOY KILLS HIS COMRADE. William Perry, a Kentucky Youth, Mur dered in the Presence of Ills Schoolmates. Near Latonia, Ky., while at school, Richard Perry murdered his cousin, William rerry. Both were pupils and both aged seventeen. Their parents live on adjoining farms and there has been a family feud between their fathers, who are brothers, for years. While the boys were quarreling at school over the family difficulties, Richard knocked Will iam senseless with a baseball bat. William died that night and Richard is in jail at Cov ington. Both families are wealthy. All the school children who .witnessed the assault during play hour at noon testify that it w&s an exceptionally cold blooded murder. FOUND SI 000 IN HIS BELT. Strange Discovery in Preparing for Burial the Body of a Supposed Pauper. While friencU were engaged at Atlantic City, N. J., in preparing for burial the body of Alfred Conover, who was supposed to be penniless, they found strapped around his waist a money belt which con tained nearly $1000 in greenbacks and gold coin. Conover was forty years old, and was a son of Captain Isaiah Conover, the fisherman who was found dead in a floating boat last fall. How he managed to save the money found on his person is unknown. Ready to Battle for Their Country. The Secretary of War sent to Congress an abstract showing the militia force of the country by States and Territories. The entire force is placed at 116,899, of whom 107,374 are privates and non-commissioned officers and 9505 commissioned officers. The un organized military force of the country num bers 9,52,080.

Message of the Presidentto Congress Giving Details. $62,400,000 FOURS TO BE SOLD. Interest Rate About 3 3-4 Per Cent-The Amount Received From This Sale Will Be Over S5,0O,OOO. and Will More Than Restore the Reserve-Ten Day Grace for Congress. The President has sent the following mes sage to Congress: To the Congress of the United States: Since my recent communication to the Congress calling attention to our financial condition and suggesting legislation which I deemed essential to our National welfare and credit, the anxiety and apprehension th n ex isting in business circles have continued. As a precaution, therefore, against the failure of timely legislative aid through Congression al action, cautious preparations have leen pending to employ to the best possible ad vantage, in default of better means, such ex ecutive authority as may., without additional legislation, be exercised' for the purpose of reinforcing and maintaining in our Treasury an adequate and safe gold reserve. In the judgment of those especially charged with this responsibility, the business situation is so critical and he legislative situation so unpromising, with the omis sion thus far on the part of the Congress to beneficially enlarge the powers of the Secretary of the Treasury in the premises, as to enjoin immediate executive ac tion with the facilities now at hand. Therefore, in pursuance of section 370 of the revised statutes, the details of an arrange ment have this day been concluded with par ties abundantly able to fulfil their undertak ing whereby bonds of the United States au thorized under the act of July 14, 1875, pay able in coin thirty years after their date, with interest at the rate of four percent, per annum, to the amount of a little lest than (12,400,000, are to be issued for the purchase of gold coin amounting 'to a sum slightly in excess of 05.000.000. to be delivered to the Treas ury of the United States, which sum, added to "the gold now held in our reserve, will so restore such reserve as to make it amount to something more than 8100,000,000. Such a premium is to be allowed to the Government upon the bonds as to fix the rate of interest upon the amount of gold realized at per cent, per annum. At least one-half of the gold to be obtained is to be supplied from abroad, which is a very important and favor able feature of the transaction. The privilege is specially reserved to tho Government to substitute at par within ten days from this date, in lieu of the 4 per cent, coin bonds, other bonds in terms payable in gold and bearing only 3 jer cent, interest, if the issue of the same should in the mean time be authorized by the Congress. The arrangement thus completed, which after careful inquiry appears in present cir cumstances and considering all the objects desired, to be the best attainable, develops such a difference in the estimation of in vestors between bonds made payable in coin and those specifically made payable in gold in favor of the latter, as is represented by three-fourths of a cent in annual interest. In the agreement just concluded the annual sav ing in interest, to the Government if 3 per cent, gold bonds should be substituted for 4 cent, coin bonds under the privilege reserved, would be 8539,159, amounting in thirty years, or at the maturity of the coin bonds, to 616. 174.770. Of course there never should be a doubt in any quarter as to the redemption in gold of the bonds of the Government which are made payable in coin. Therefore, tho dis crimination in the judgment of investors be tween our bond obligations payable in coin and those specifically made payable in gold is very significant. It is hardly necessary to suggest that, whatever may be our views on the subject, the sentiments or preferences of those with "Whom we must negotiate in dis posing of ohr bonds for gold are not subject to our dictation. I have only to add that in my opinion the transaction herein detailed for the informa tion of the Congress promises b-ter results than the efforts previously made in the di rection of effectively addding to our gold re serve through the sale of bonds; and I be lieve it will tend as far as such action can in present circumstances to meet the determi nation expressed in the law repealing the silver-purchasing clause of the act of July 14, 18'JO, and that in the language of such repeal ing act the arrangement made will aid our efforts to "insure the maintenance of the parity in value of the coins of the two metals, and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in the payment of debts."

THE LABOR WORLD. The new President of France was once a tanner. In Great Britain the yearlv loss in wages through ill-health is 55,000.000. It is denied in Pittsburg that there has been a consolidation of the plate glass manufac turers. Reports from Swansea state that the de pression in the Welsh tin plate industry is as suming a serious aspect. Collieries in Pennsylvania of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Company shut down, throw ing 8000 men out of employment. Unemployed ersons in Buda-Pesth, Hun gary, marched through the principal streets and were dispersed after a serious fight.

BLIZZ ABD EAST AND WEST All Sections of the Country Suffered by Snowstorms. A REGULAR WINTER CYCLONE. It Spread North, Kant. SontU ami Wet Rivers ami Harbor Choked With Ice and Navigation Impelled l'eople Froien to Death in Various l'laces Ice Gorge in the Ohio Despatches from all r.rts of the United States showed that the intense cold, from which New York City and the East suffered, was widespread. In many places raging blizzards, the worst ex perienced in years, developed, and the suffering caused was intense. Trains t all the large cities ran ten and fifteen hour be hind time, and a larg number of towns were storm bound, and business was practi cally suspended. On several railroads, nota bly the Union Pacific, trains were staiM, owing to great snow drifts. Numerous dv .tths from exposure, especi ally in the West, were reported. Serious trouble has been caused in Ohio and othr localities where natural gas is generally used by the diminution in the supply of that fuel and the impossibility of securing an adequate supply of coal on short notice. From all the large "centres of population news came of th most intense suffering among the poor. The ordinary bureaus for the relief of the desti tute were practically paralyzed by the un precedented demands made upon them. In the northern part of New York State the thermometer fell to an unusually low point, reaching 34 degrees below zero at the Thou sand Islands and Alexar.JrU Bay. 28 to 30 t--low in St. Lawrence Couty. and 10 to 15 lie low in Watertown and vicinity.

Harbor is frozen to the mouth of the Thames River for the first time in twenty years, and at Portsmouth, N. H., the Piscataqua River is also frozen, a thing which has not occurred since January. 1857. The blizzard struck Chicago before it was expected, and early in the morning the ther mometer registered several degrees below zero and continued its downward course all day, reaching ten degrees below late in the after noon. The wind blew from forty to sixty miles an hour, and a fine snow which fell obstructed street car traffic. In St. Louis, at nine o'clock, it was seven degrees below and the thermotaeter fell all day. in Milwaukee the day started in with the mercury at eight degrees below zero and a four inch snow fell. The South and Southwest had their full share of the blizzard. Texas and Arkansas be ing the worst sufferers. In Texas tho wind blew Pt the rate of fifty miles an hour and the thermometer fell below zero. Thousands of cattle died of exposure. In Little Rock, Ark., the coldest weather on record there was experienced, the mercury registering three degrees below, and in Memphis, Tenn., the zero mark was reached. Eastern Colorado reported a blizzard with great suffering among destitute on isolated farms. The thermometer was below zero for two days. Throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware a fierce snow prevailed. At mid night the wind shifted to the northwest and the snow ceased. The thermometer was near zero. Blinding snow storms raged all along the line of the Fort Worth and Denver Railway. Snow which fell in Northern Texas eleven days before was still upon the ground.

President Cleveland's revised plan of cur rency reform was rejected by the House of Representatives by an overwhelming vote, leaving the Administration at liberty to an nounce a new sale of bonds. It was nearly noon when the House, in Committee of the Whole, tookup the Springer bill authorizing the sale of .500.000,000 of gold bonds to maintain the gold reserve and to retire the greenbacks. The pending ques tion was Mr. Bland's appeal from the ruling of Chairman Richardson that his substitute was not in order. On a vote by tellers the decision of the Chair was sustained 130 to 52. When it came to considering the substitutes pending, the Speaker ordered a vote to be taken first on that offered by Mr. Reed, which authorizes the issue of two-year three per cent, certificates of indebtedness to meet cur rent deficiencies in the revenue and bonds to cover the deficiency in the gold reserve. The vote on Mr. Rood's substitute resulted: Yeas, 109; nays, 187; present and not voting, 2. This was nearly a partv vote. Messrs. Cannon (Cal.). Crain (Texas'), Davey CLa.), Geary (Cal.). Griffith (Mich.), Lawson (Ga.). Pendleton (Texas) and Shell (S. C). Demo crats, voted with the Republicans for the substitute. The Populists voted with the Democrats against it. Tho vote then recurred on the engrossment and third reading of the Springer bill as amended in the Committee of the Whole, which, on a division, the Houe refused to order by the decisive vote of 97 ayes to 150 nays. The announcement of this vote was received with applause by the opponents of the bill, in the midst of which Mr. Springer was seen rather than heard demanding a vote by yeas and nays. This was ordered, and resulted: Yeas. 135; nays, 162: present and not voting, 4. Mr. Springer, having changed his vote for that purpose, moved to reconsider the vot and that motion, on motion of Mr. Hatch (Dem., Mo.), was laid on the table. y;is 135. nays 123, which finally disposed of the iu-jl'.-ter. TWO BIC IRONCLADS SUNK. The Chinese Envoys Fully Empowered to Treat With Japan For Peace. A correspondent at Wei-Hai-Wei telegraphs that the Chinese ironclads Chen-Yuen and Ting-Yuen have been sunk. The Ting-Yuen and Chen-Yuen were struck with torpedoes in three fathoms of water. They were sister ships and the most pow erful ships belonging to an Asiatic power. Each had a displacement of 7430 tons and 6200 horse power. Both vessels were engaged in the great battle at the mouth of the Yalu River early in the war, when so many Chi nese ships were sunk, but escaped with slight injuries. The Chinese peace envoys have leen fully empowered to treat, and will remain in Japan. Both countries are anxious to con clude the war. but Japan does not mean to leave China a loophole for backing out. Brothers Die Together. Don Ernesto Marquez and his younger brother, Don Enrique, Guatemalans, were shot and killed in a little dining saloon off from the rear of Mrs. John H. Meyer's saloon at the northeast corner of Lexington avenue and Forty-eighth street. New York City, at 8:30 p. m. It was supposed that one of them shot the other and then shot himself.

Mrs. McQuinn gave herself up to the Sheriff, saying she did the killing. Mastxr VmAJi Hodgson Bdbnett, the original Little Lord Fauntleroy, is now six teen and a football player. Highest of all in Leavening Power Latest U. S. Gov't Report L i VV ABOUDTTEELl POIRE Teat as Fuel. In Frieslan J and other parts of Hol land the "black turf is made into fuel for brick-kilns, litter for stable, and mould for mixing with sewage. Some of it is exported to Bremen, Brunswick and Belgium, and it is stated that 280, 000 tons of the fuel, worth $665,000, are annually consumed thoroughont the Netherlands. The Dutch canals facilitate the transport of the peat, and as the subsoil of the moors is al ways cultivated after the peat is lifted, the barges that take away the peat bring back manure for the ground. At Groningen, for instance, all tho sew erage of the city is applied to the re clamation of the surrounding turf moors. In Denmark, where there is no great Bnpply of peat, it is chiefly used by the peasants as fuel, or as bedding in the dairy farms. In Sweden, on the contrary, there are bogs extend ing for hundreds of square miles, and of late years over 600,000 acres of the moorland have been brought under the plow. The peat is prepared as fuel, and largely consumed in making iron, glass, or brick, either alone or mixed with coal and fir-cones. In southern Sweden there are factories solely engaged in manufacturing peat fuel for sale, as its use is steadily in creasing, and some 30,000 tons a year are employed in metallurgical opera tions. In southern and central Sweden there are some twenty factories for preparing peat-litter and mold, each factory turning out from 15,000 to 30, 000 bales a year, fetching nbout fifty cents apiece. The mould is used for gardening in Sweden, while stuffing for mattresses or furniture, and sur gical bandages are made from the white moss of the moors. In France the peat is moulded into "briquettes" with tar and resin, teased into litter, or woven into fabrics, which are used in the army, in barracks and hospi tals, as blankets, mattresses, and sad dle cloths, or for stuffing cofferdams and certain parts of machinery. The Nineteenth Century. Fireprool (.'oIIhIomI. Ordinary celluloid is a very useful material, but its manufacture is at tended with considerable risk, and its combustible character even unfits it for 6ome purposes. A so-called fire proof celluloid is now being made by a company of Exeter, England. It is prepared from the spent fibres of pa per mills, which are reduced to a gel atinous state by certain chemicals, given an even substance in a centrifu gal pump, colored as desired with ani line dyes and strained through flannel. The product hardens after a time, when it oan be cut into slices, or it can be moulded while liquid. Tren ton (N. J.) American.
