 REMOVING THE SToRRs ScHooL.-The legislative committee on the Storrs Agri- cultural School met at the office of Hon. William E. Simonds yesterday afternoon. The proceedings were secret, except as to the fact that report was agreed on and plans for a building considered. It is, however, understood that the report will favor the removal of the school, probably to the location in Columbia offered by MT. s. F. Ticknor. The committee has had opinions as to the title to the Storrs prop erty from Willard Eddy, George G. Sill, and Charles H. Phelps of Waterbury, and although the members decline to give the result it is understood that the opinions varied considerably. The difference ought perhaps to be sufficient reason for the state to decline investing money in build- ings, etc., on a spot the title to which cer- tainly admits of good deal of difference of opinion. The committee are: William E. Simonds, chairman, Senator John Brewster of Ledyard, Henry c. Miles of Milford, George M. Clark of Higganum and Cornelius Mead of Greenwich. Hart ford COura11t, 30th.

THE following paragraphs ''In Memori nm, predicting "Cloyer Leaves" the col lection of poems by Ella M. Baker, i. from the pen of 8 chosen friend, Mrs Bertha s. Scranton Poole, herself vel known poetess ::
 Those who knew her can understand how misplaced all words of praise must be remembering that she shrank from public avowal as the arbutus hides under the snOws of March.
 Far better than all the testimony love could bring, or artistic delicacy of appre citation could render, is the record of the life she lived for deeds are more powerful than words, because they bear the very footprints of the soul.
 And still some laurel of remembrance should be wound about these poems o hers, fiowerlike in their sensitiveness o thought, their grace and potency of ex pression, with the wood odor of the violet and the fine tracery of the artists hand that no unpractised touch can emulate. There was the voice of the nightingale ir her songs, though she thought 1t the note of the wood-thrush only.
 But who can give us the lost colors oi UklO 6AuDCb. Ol WAO GAA DHAAiu u6 Oltt, III the clamor of our daily life? So no jus. tice can be done this white soul, whose humility was like the shield of Britomart, between the world and it's own unconscious purity.
 One who loved her would lay this tri- bute of thought at, her feet. These were her flowers of poesy; and they have the freshness of the moist earth in the spring, the coolness of the brook where the wild birds stood to.drink.
 The world may not heed them, but she would never choose that it should
 The lilies of life lift their cups of gold unnoticed in some hidden path, and then the angels gather them for the Great Kings garden. What though the world knew them not, since it is the better for their sweetness
 Senator Evarts denies that he is prepar- ing "big speech on the affirmative side of the silver question. His opinion, as to maintaining both metals in the service of commerce, as expressed when he was 8 delegate at the Silver Conference in Paris in 1881, has not changed he says He is committed no further. All he has done has been to present to the senate, as in duty bound, memorial from the New York chamber of commerce, asking for of silver coinage.

Railroad Land Grant.

WASHINGTON. June 24.-It recently
having come to the knowledge of Senator
Van Wyck that the Backbone Railroad
company of Louisiana had laid
claim to 100000 acres of
land in addition to that
under the last administration, and about
which the senator expressed some opinions
during the last session of the senate, which
were pointed critised by ex-Secretary
Teller on behalf of the railroad people.
The senator called upon the sec
retary of the interior yester-
day and the attorney general to-day
in relation to the matter, and said he be-
came satisfied that the present administra-
ton is now inclined to accede to the claims
of the railway people, and that there was
no probability that new demand would be
successful.

Dissatisfied Dairynen.

NEW YORK, June 24.-The dairymen of
the state are not satisfied with the present
decision of the court of appeals in the test
oleomargarine case. They state that the
case (the People VS.. Mark was not test
case at all, but a bogus suit gotten up bv
the oleomargarine manufacturers against
one of their own number and pushed on to
the court of appeals upon pretended state
ment Of facts which did not explain the
case at all, and with no evidence offered on
the part of the people to contradict it.
The decision of the court of appeals, how
ever honestly arrived at, has done inn
mense injury to the dairy interests
OF our state, and even in the one
sided case presented for their con-
sideration, their decision is in conflict with
that of the circuit court of the United
States, and also with the highest courts of
other states. They propose to Immediately
bring other suits, and in case they are de-
cided against them they will appeal to the
United States supreme court.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Commissioner
Colman's convention of representatives
from agricultural colleges and kindred in
stitutions, which convenes early next
month, promises to be notable gathering.
The commissioner, in opening the proceed
ings, will take occasion to elaborate his
views about agricultural education.
He takes tile ground that closer
relations between the department
and these institutions can be
mutually beneficial 1t is his hope to be
able to enlist them in the experimental
work, sending to them new seeds and
plants, and receiving from them reports on
the results of these trials, which may be
made public through an annual volume
from the department. These agricultural
schools have land attached and such an az
rangement as the commissioner hopes to
make would give all the advantages of ex-
perimental farms in the various sec.
tions of the country, with varying
soils and climate. Mr.. Colman expects to
enlarge greatly the scope of this expert
mental work. He will try to enlist the
diplomatic representatives Of this govern
ment, through the state department., in the
work of collecting new varieties of seeds
anu planUS III all countries, 10 De SenL nome
for trial. He thinks there is
A GREAT MISSION
for the department in showing the farmers
of the United States new crops which can
be raised with profit He
believes that many things now
imported can be raised successfully. He
will even go into the realm of medicinal
plants and see if herbs and barks which
are now imported at great cost cannot be
produced in this country, In these pro-
jects he desires the cooperation of the
colleges and the societies, and he believes
he can show the agricultural professors how
they can make their institutions much more
popular than they are now, by embark
ing in the work with him. Prof Dodge
the department statistician, will read a
paper on applied science as a
factor of rural prosperity. Prof.
Charles E. Thorn of Springfield, O., will
present his views upon the preparation Of
experimental reports for popular use. Prof
F. G. Adams is down for an address on the
Importance of teaching agriculture in the
common schools. Prof E. Wicks, the new
president of the Michigan Agricultural COL
lege, will discuss Industrial education.
DR.. Salmon of the bureau of animal indus
try, and Prof. Sanders of the department
will present papers. These are some of the
features of the program not fully arranged.

1t Wont Suit the Factions.


WASHINGTON, June 24.-The political
situation in New York is said to be giving
the president good deal of concern. He
is giving much thought, it is said, to the
question of how he is to guide the party
into the right channel without getting in
volved in entanglements with the factions.
His policy will not be to espouse the cause
of any particular individual or faction,
but to appeal to a party loyalty to
be united in action. The delay about
the appointments in the state is occasioned
by the fact that the policy adopted is to
look very closely into the records of the
candidates recommended by the different
factions, considering both the suitability of
the appointment and the effect it would
have upon the party. The idea is, after
careful investigation, to select the very best
men, regardless of faction, and to present
them to the various local leaders, together
with the reasons for selecting them, and to
attempt, by candid argument, to show that
the selection was made with regard to the
best interests of the whole party.

Burchard Will Die Hard. .

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Mr. Burchard,
director of the mint, according to present
information has decided to test the power
of the president to remove him from office.
There are two offices in the treasury which
were created by special statute, the tenure
of which, it is assumed, makes
it impossible for the president to
suspend the incumbents unless the
senate shall consent. These offices are
those of director of the mint and comp
troller of the currency. The law under
which the director of the mint receives his
appointment is as follows:
''He shall be appointed by the president,
by and with the consent of the senate, and
shall hold his office for the term of two
years unless sooner removed by the presi-
dent, upon reasons to be communicated
by him to the senate" The
claim is that the phraseology of
this act differs from all general statutes as
to appointments, and that though the direc-
tor may be suspended during the recess his
office will revert to him should the senate
fail to confirm his successor. Those who
have contrary view maintain that the spe-
cial statute creating the office, if it means
what the friends of the incumbent claim, is
violation of the constitutional
RIGHT OF THE PRESIDENT
to appoint to Office. A request has been
made for the resignation of Mr.. Burchard.
He will undoubtedly refuse to resign. He
is not in sympathy with some Of the fnan-
cial views of Treasurer Jordan, and is in
some respects opposed to the secretary's
policy. From the outset of the administra-
tion he has interposed legal and other objec-
tions to the plans of the new treasury officers.
There have been many conflicts Of opinion
and Mr.. Burchard is regarded by the new
treasury officers as an obstructionist. It
has been the intention for some time to Sc
cure his removal, and his superior was not
quite certain what effect would be given to
the special statute under which he holds
his Office. 1t had been hoped that he would
resign. Charges have been made against
him. One is that he permitted default
ing subordinate to resign. Others are that
he is guilty of erroneous judgment, inefi-
cheney, lack Of executive ability and has
been careless in his management Of
the. silver purchases. Mr.. Bnrchards
friends hold that it is due to himself not to
resign when such charges are made. Never
theless Secretary Manning awaits his resig-

Crop Reports.

The crop reports received this week by
the Omaha line are more favorable than
they were last week. The frost last Mon
day morning nipped corn slightly, but did
not affect other grains. There have been
some very heavy rains of late, but no seri-
GUS damage has resulted. In the district
about Mankato and Shakopee, the crops
never looked more promising. Corn is
about eighteen inches high, to which no
damage was done by the storms or frost.
The damage to fax by worms is not as seri-
GUS as was at first anticipated by farmers.
Winter wheat is doing well.

CALUMET. Mich, June 24.-The Calu-

by the Tamarack shaft yesterday at depth
of 1890 feet. The result is supposed to
mean second mine equal, SO far as guam
tity and quality of its ore is concerned, to
the Calumet and Hecla, now the richest
copper mine in the world. The owners of
the Tamarack are wealthy Eastern men.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Secretary
Manning has requested the resignation Of
Horatio G. Burchard of Illinois as, director
of the mint.
The postmaster general has appointed,
among others, j. A. Murphy and E. Dar-
belley of Wisconsin to postoffice Inspector
ships for the probationary period of six
months, beginning July 1.
The work of transferring the machinery
for the final authorization of the United
States secretaries from the bureau of en-
craving and printing to the treasurers of
flee is now in progress, and will probably
be completed by the 1st proximo. The
transfer of the duty of placing the seal
on the United States notes, etc., from the
chief of the bureau to the treasurer, is to
insure greater security in the completion
and issue of the notes.
The department. of state has received no
tice, through the Belgian legation at Wash
ington, that an international congress Of
commercial law will be held at Antwerp in
September. An invitation is extended to
this government to send a representative.
The treasury department to-day pur-
chased 295, 900 ounces of silver for delivery
at the Philadelphia mint, for coinage into
standard dollars.
Col. DENLY, United States minister to
China, had an interview with the president

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Col. Brisbin
leaves for home tomorrow. He is reticent
as to the situation in regard to the district
attorneyship, but says he is well
satisfied with the situation, though
he does not look for an early action.
From other sources, which are considered
quite reliable, it is learned that the presi-
dent has indicated his desire for Brisbin's
selection for the place by writing the at
torney general note recommending Bris-
bin for the appointment Brisbin is
understood to have very strong support
from New York, some of his friends being
very close to the president. Brisbin warmly
commends the appointment of Biermann,
which will help bring the Scandinavians
into the Democratic party and make Min
nesOta, Wisconsin and Dakota Democratic.

Cattlemen Cause the Indian Trouble.

Cattlemen Cause the Indian Trouble.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-The outbreak
of the Cheyenne Indians which was threat
ened on Saturday last has been brewing
for year or longer. Army officials here
attribute it to dissatisfaction on the part
of the Indians at the leasing of their reser-
vation to cattle men. The Cheyenne reser-
vation is one Of the largest in the Indian
territory. 1t comprises about 4,279, 900
acres. Of this amount more than
100000 acres are controlled by
cattle men who are grazing
vast herds. The Indians are divided on
the question of leaving the land, the major
ity apparently being opposed to it. 1t is
said here by officials that cattle men have
resorted to questionable methods in secur-
ing control of ranches. Reports on file in
the Office Of commissioner of Indian affairs
indicate that the leasing of lands wass
the original cause of trouble among the
Indians. These reports are from
who ranks as one of the best agents in the
Indian service. He was appointed to his
present position about one year ago. I'M
mediately after assuming his duties he in
formed the interior department that trouble
was threatened, and that unless precau-
tiOnary measures were taken an outbreak
would be inevitable He asked that 1000
cavalrymen be sent to the reser-
vation. AS reason for his
statement, Agent Dyer said that
his predecessor had not exercised strict con-
trOl over the Indans-that they had been
allowed to do as they wished. Mr. Dyer,
On assuming the duties of the agency, en-
deavored to control the Indians. He re-
ported to the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs that they laughed at his attempts, and
boasted that the government could do moth
ing with them. Agent Dyer was in Wash
ington some weeks since. He urged that
5000 cavalrymen be sent to the reservation
as soon as possible, to ''scare the Indians"
and show them that the government had
sufficient force to punish them if necessary.
He thought that if this method of influence
ing them was adopted, they would be con-
trolled without bloodshed On either side.
He said the Cheyennes were as warlike as
the Apaches; that Chey were armed well
and could put from 1000 to 1, 500 warriors
on the warpath at any time.

nation. Mr.. Burchard, as far as can be
learned, does not wish to contest with the
administration, but intends to protect his
own reputation, and has decided not to re-
tire in the face of the charges. He has sus-
pended all the political functions of his
Office, and claims he can support the fnan-
cial policy of the administration.
