common, and the Congress Of Stockholm
seems likely to prove the most important

grave question.
Under authority Of Joint resolution of
Congress, approved February 16, 1875, .
Commissioner was appointed, by my pre-
decessor, to represent the United States
upon that occasion, and the Prison Con-
gress having been, at the earnest desire of
the Swedish Government, postponed to
1873, his commission was renewed by me.
An appropriation of e6, 600 was made In

meet tho expenses Of the Commissioner.
recommend the appropriation of that sum
for the same purpose, the former appro-
priation having been covered into the
treasury, and being no longer available
for the purpose without further action by
Congress. The subject is brought to your
attention at this time in view of circum-
stances which render it highly desirable
that the Commission should proceed to
the discharge of his important duties
Immediately.
CONCLUSION.
Asthe sayeral acts Of Congress providing
for detailed reports from the different de-
partments of tho Government require
their submission at the beginning of the
regular annual session, I defer until that
time any further reference to subjects Of

The report of the bureau of statistics

tinued for most OF the time; the figures

The Legion of Honor.

bhor has had list drawn up Of the
rembers belonging to the legion on the
.rst day of this year. At the date there
were 10 wearers of the grand cross, 267
grand officers, l,3l7 commanders, 6,434
officers, and l,l20 chevaliers or com.
panions, in all SO, POS members A GER
tain number Of these are in receipt OF

or $4Sl, 700; 146 chevaiers receive $40
each, or Sl0,220, and 29,s93 chevaliers
receive $50 each, or y, ,494, $50. Thus
there are in all 36,020 members of the
legion who receive annual pay of to the
amount of 81, 272,770; while there are
%, 1888 civilian members who receive
nothing, as pay is only granted to th.se
who have served in the army or navy.
The law passed five years ago to the effect
that only one nomination should be
made for every two vacancies has already

American Volcanoes.

Since we now have an active volcano
in the United States, the subterranean
disturbances of our neighbors will begin
to be of rome interest to us. Many Of
the Mexican volcanoes have been silent
ever since the discovery of America, and
others are on record as having famed
out for the last time shortly after the
Spanish invasion. Among those that
have been the longest quiet was the
mountain Ceboruco; but in 1870 il broke
forth after sleep of centuries. 1t has
been noticed that earthquakes, formerly
frequent in its vicinity, have not taken
place since its last eruption, and there Is
notion that the vent given by the
volcano has served as relief 10 pent up
gases and materials that otherwise would
have caused disturbance. If this theory
holds good. Caliinrnie aas...a,e 7scvrsrfy d
The yet unnamed volcano in her south
western corner. The eruption is said to
have taken place about sixty miles
north of Yuma. That place always had
a queer reputation. There is a story Of
the ghost ofa dead soldier being interro-
gated by the spirit-rapping process as 10
whether his present abode was hot.
4" Yes" was the reply, otis awful hot i;
but it isn't any hotter than Fort Yuma.

Turkish Cavalry In 1898.

The borses, especially those Of the
Asiatic Spahis, were small but fiery, well
broken, capable of enduring fatigue and
privations. The Kurdish and Csppado-
clan horses were accustomed TO be pick
eted, and 10 bear the midday heat and
the midnight cold. They were only
watered once a day, and kept in condi-
ton without barley, when fed on the
coarest fodder. The light and easy
fitting palanu or saddle, made of felt, re-
mained OH their backs day and night, 10
that the horseman was ready at any
moment to mount. The bit was very
severe for 80 well broken an animal and
was intended TO stop the horse suddenly
in mid career, or to wheel him round in
a moment. The bar of the bit was often
five or six inches long, and instead Of the
curb-chain that was a ring. The round
shoe was admirably suited to its purpose,
The steel was forged cold was thin and
light, lasted five or six weeks, and pro-
tected the hoo- admirably an stony
ground. Although thoy use no cruppers

Engineering Moving Water.

We have some idea of the amount of
water that must pass through a corn
plant, wheat plant and cotton plant,
to organize pound of each of these inn
PO-tant staples and we regard with
lively in.arest the waterworks with which
cities are supplied with water as throw>
ing light on agricultural engineering and
tho future supply of fertilizers TO the
country. An enormou. engineering
work is in progress TO supply Baltimore
with water, the present supply being
bad in quality and inadequate in guam
'{he new source is the Gunpowder river,
nine miles from the city, and the water
is TO be brought through tunnel seven
miles long, cut through mountain. This
will be the longest tunnel in America,
circular in shape, and twelve feet in dia-
meter. Five miles of the distance il
very hard rock, and the drilling is done
by manual labor, power drills being i'm
practicable in such small space. The
rest OF the way will be bricked. Fifteen
shafts have been sunk. The cost is esti-
mated at S3,000,000, about 800 men
are employed, and the tunnel will pro-
badly be completed in three years. The
employees are mainly negroes, who live in
miserable log cabins; and the contractor
says that his greatest difficulty is not Of
an engineering kind, but comes from
drunkenness among these men. Liquor
dealers infest the temporary villages with
portable bars, and sell vile whisky 70
cheap that the laborers buy extensively.
Few have any conception what moving
water will do in this country in three
generations from this time. II congress
will do nothing else for agriculture, it
ought at least to establish one institution
to teach agricultural engineering as
thoroughly to 800 pupils as military
science is taught at West Point. We do
not object to the scientific education Of
cadets and military officers, but we do
affirm that engineering skill applied to
irrigation will be quite as useful to man
kind ~ il can be in war. Educated Off
GERS often make superior farmers, and
one of the greatest lawyers in the city Of
New York is doing creditable work by
improving old fields in Virginia. When
shall we learn that knowledge is power?

remonetized all over the world, where.
upon prices will rise, and these gigantic
operators expect To sell out at extrava-
gantly high prices. These rich Jewish
capitalists find il necessary 10 influence
only few people in each administration.
As bankers they have direct access To
secretaries and treasures and finance
ministers and the people who manipulate
the press of the world. Upon various
plausible pIctexts they get laws passed
demouetizing silver; which being effected,
they take advantage of the ruinous fall
in prices which occurs all over the world.
From this they know there will be re.
action in favor of the two metals; and
they will profit, by the addition in the
market value Of what they bought at
low figures, and sell out. II will be
noticed that the syndicate represents an
immense Jewish interest, who have been
the most active monometalistt since the
beginning of the controversy.

Mr.. Evarts and the Jews.

At the solicitation of our American
fellow citizens protesting the Hebrew
religion, Mr.. Evar.s has instructed the
minister Of the United States at Con
stantinople to take such measures Of a
practicable nature as he may deem expe-
dent in order 10 prevent the outrages
and hardshirs inflicted on Israelites
dwelling in the provinces of Turkey.
Unfortunately, as Mr.. Evarts observes,
very little can be done in provinces
"under military control" of Circassians,
Bsshi- Bazouks and similar upholders OF
Ottoman supremacy in eastern Europe.
At the same time, in justice TO the
unimprovablc" Turk, il must be ad.
mitted that the 30 called provinces Of the
Turkish empire where Jews suffer most
hardships have long since escaped from
any control or pressure from Constanti-
noplc. The provinces VIC allude TO Me
Serbia and Roumania, and the word Of
authority goeth not from Constantinople
AS far as these countries are concerned
but frem Plojesti, in Wallachia, where
the ear Of Russia is a, present located.
IT, therefore, our Jewish fellow-citizens
desire to be of real utility TO their breth.
ren in the faith dwelling In Roumania
and Serbia. IL would be wise TO point out
to Secretary Evarts that the word in
season ought TO be transmitted 10 our
representative at st. Petersburg rather
than at Constantineple. The czar of
Russia is eminently humane and just
ruler, as his acts testify, and any repre-
sentation to him on behalf of the perse.
cuted Jews OF Serbia and Roumania
would not only receive attention, but
would obtain redress. At the same
time, we take leave to point out 10 the
American Jews that they can do great
deal themselves towards alleviating the
lot of their Roumanian and Serbian
brethren. The Jews in America are
numerous and wealthy, and possess cos
mopolitsn influence which might he
exercised directly in behalf of the Rou.
manian and Serbian Jews. A represen-
tation from the representative of the
house of Rothschild in New York to the
Russian minister of finance would posi-
bly, command as much attention on the
eve of new loan ss the observations of
our minister at st. Petersburg. Accord
ing to the statistics presented to the
board of delegates of American Israeiites
at their annual convention. their num-
bers in the United States were estimated
at 100000, and their church property IT
$6,000,000. These items must be con-
siderably understated-at last, as far as
regards the total number of Americans
following the Jewish religion-and IL
might te useful to themselves, as far as
their religious interests are concerned, to
obtain more accurate returns. As
respects their temporal interests, these
are cared for by the federal government
of the United States, who have never
recognized any distinction between
American citizens as regards religious
belief-Amerioon (Paris) Registe,, June
