DEGREES Against the Princes.

Minister Ferry and the Republic-The
DEGREES Against the Princes.
PARIS, Feb. 24.-In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day, NJ. JOlibois, BOnapartist,
moved the Interpolation of which he gave
notice on Thursday, touching the state
ment of Prime Minister Ferry. NJ. Joli-
bOis asked whether the governments right
of initiative, which Ferry then referred
to, was one above the law.
NJ. Ferry i'll reply said: ''lt is the le-
gitimate right of defense. Of which il is
impossible to define the exact limits, but
| advise the Bonapartists not too far to
test our indulgence"
M. JOlibOis denied that the Republic
emanated from national sovereignty, as it
lacked the plebiscite. He claimed that
the Chamber desired that individual lib
erty of all citizens, without distinction,
be respected. This motion was rejected
by a vote of 800 nays to 90 ayes.
NJ. Rance moved as an expression of
confidence of the Chamber that the gov
ernment was sufficiently firm to insure
respect for the Republic. The motion was
adopted by vote Of 36S ayes to 90 nays.
PARIS, Feb. 25.-The Chamber of Depu-
ties yesterday, after a prolonged debate,
adopted the resolution approving the
measure which the government cOntem-
plates against the pretenders.
The Official Journal contains the de-
crees placing the Duke d. Aumale, Due de
Chatres and Due d'Alencon on the retired
list. The DEGREES are preceded by the
report of General Thibaudin, Minister of
War, i'll justification of the retirement of
those officers. The latter says public
opinion demanded the adoption of the
measure placing these Princes on the
retired list.
The Temps, National and Paris, all
conservative Republican papers, deplore
the fact that the government has been
forced to issue DEGREES against the Princes
placing them on the retired list of the
army. They demand a revision of the
law of 1884, in order that the three officers
NAV be reinstated.

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
Report of tire Special Committee OH
Improvement

improvement.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The following
are the conclusions and recommendations
of the Select Committee on the Improve
ment OF the Mississippi river, as embodied
III their report, presented to the House by
Chairman Burrows to-day. The report
states that the work of improving naviga-
ton by the plan of the commission has
not been sufficiently proven sue
cess to warrant it's confirmation.
except at two points, Plum Point and
Lake Providence reach, where the work
is now going forward. 1t recommends
that work be continued at these points
and at no other place, and that an appro-
prlatlon be made by Congress sufficient
to establish the desirabilitY of this plan if
1t may be shown by these experiments.
The report gives it as the opinion of the
commission that leYees are not essential
to the navigation of the river, and there
lore IL recommends that no appropriation
be made for their construction.
In regard to the outlet system the re-
port says that while the outlets might re-
heve the river of its flood, the committee
cannot recommend them as valuable to
navigation.
AS to the ietties the report declares that
they facilitate navigation and are answer
ing the purpose for which they were con-
structed,
Messrs. Butterworth, Holman and
Hazelton sign the majority report, but
present minority report dissenting from
the opinion of the majority as against the
outlet system and declaring in its favor.
The majority report is not Signed by either
Thomas of Illinois or Ellis of Louisiana.
Ihese two members of the committee Join
in minority report favOring vigorous
prosecution of the work of improving the
river under the plans of the commission,

A LUNATIC ASYLUM HORROR.
The Medicine of Five Unfortunates Mys-
teriOuslY Poisoned.

Inc MeC1clne OF rive UntOrtunateS myS-
teriOusly Poisoned.
STAUNTON, VA, Feb. 24.-Five inmates
in the Western Lunatic Asylum were fa-
tally poisoned to-day. Two others will
die. An inquest awaits the chemical an
alysis. The theory is that the patient or
some one placed the fatal drug in the
medicine cups before they had left the
doctor and before the attendant received
them.
STANTON, VA, Feb. 25.-The names
of the patients in the Insane Asylum who
have died from mysterious poisoning, re-
ported yesterday, are Leonard Il. Wilkins,
of Northampton; Thomas w. Adams, of
LOudOn; j. NJ. Holman, of SpOttsylvania;
John w. Hines, of Bath, and Isaac S.
Perry, of Frederick. They dropped dead
in ten minutes after taking the medicine.
Mathew Vaughan, of Prince Edward, is
likely to die. Three others are ill, but
will recover.
At the inquest it was shown that the
usual medicine had been mixed for GER
tain patients and taken to the room, where
it remained two hours before being adj
ministered. The persons were all in diff
ferent wards in the male department,
which indicates that the fatal drug
must have been pretty freely
used. No satisfactory conclusions are
yet reached as to how the poison got into
the glass containing the medicine, and
the Officers-Of the asylum are mystified.
Post mortems will be held ON the bodies,
and the investigation continued until
something tangible can be obtained. Much
interest and excitement prevails here over
the affair

ACRES

As some of these acres were
planted the past season, the average
production of the whole 200 acres did
not exceed 100 pounds, or 100000
pounds in the aggregate. Some hops
were sold as low as Is cents, and some
at over 100: fair average for the crop
of the county being 60 cents. The hops
of 1882 must have realized the gross
sum of $4,000, and the net sum, or
profit, of $4,000.
The production of 1893 will be vastly
increased. The nineteen growers will
be augmented to at least thirty, and the
acreage from 200 to COO, and perhaps
more. John Burns alone will put in 26
acres of new vines, and other producers
will widen and lengthen their fields.
The Seattle Hop Growers Association
has been formed with the object in view
of owning and cul:ivating the greatest
hop farm in the world. They expect to
put in 300 acres this year, to be fol
lowed in later years by 400 acres more.
IL this one farm realizes the expecta-
tons of its projectors it will raise a
greater quantity of hops than has yet
been producsd in any one year in the
famed hop growing valley of Puyallup.
1t seems positively settled that a
great hop market must be developed in
Seattle. We have the men and the
money to handle the crop, and by the
laws of trade its coming here is assured.
The open, navi2able water courses of
our county, our railroads and our ship
ping facilities, are drawing the hop
trade here in increased quantities annu-
ally. The hops of the lower Sound
come here, and will continue to come
here. The money for the immense
payments to be made on the hops in
future will be made through Seattle
banks. The city will take a long stride
forward in this direction during the
new year, while thenceforth it will be
one Of the leading hop centers of the
world
