Tie havoc Of the army worm among
tue farms of New Jeraey and Long Is
land bids fair to be complete aIid without
remedy. The vineyard and farm lands
OF Burlington and Ocean Counties, New
jersey, tract greater than that lately
burned over, are being eaten clean by the
pests, and large portion of Long Island
is being overrun by them, though the
multitude is thickest on the south side
around Islip, Amityyille and Freeport
They march In solid column, eating ey-
erything as they go; corn.fields are
ruined in q night, and wheat, rye, oats, bar
ley and grass fall before them, and moth.
ing but clover escapes them. Al Baby-
Ion the'roads are black, ,sat tWesthainpton'
and Mattituck they are likened to the
sands of the seashore, and their advance
through the grass can be plainly heard.
The worst thing about it is that the far.
mers seem utterly. helpless {, none Of the
usual remedies have been s,lccessfuI; ;
Paris green and London purple have no
apparent effect, aud their number is 20
great that tar proves but temporary
check. Many of the farmers are there
fore cutting their halEripe grain to use
for fodder. Prof. Riley, the Government
entomologist, will visit Long Island, but
says little can be done now, and that the
only sure protection is to burn the stubGle
in winter or early spring. The only hope
of the farmers now is that a prolonged
period of hot weather will check the
creatures.
- The news from Constantinople gives
warning that everything is going there
from bad to worse. 1t is not only the
row in Albania or the frightful state of
things in Armenia. Anarchy Is eating
into the heart of the empire. The dis.
organization in the capital is only less
than TINT in the Provinces. There is no
public revenue. The officials squeeze
the taxpayers, but is like drawing blood:
Undertaking entered into BY the Turkish
government with respect to the internal
administration of the country has been
observed, and what is thought most
Ominous in the future Is that the Sultan
protests so much.
