WASHINGTON NEWS.
INDIAN AFFAIRS.
No Definite Action in Regard 10 Ceroni.
mo by the War Department..

WASHINGTON, Oct 4.
1t is stated officially at the war department
that nothing has been determined upon in
regard to the surrender of Geronimo, and
that the department is still lacking informa-
tion on which TO base any action. Gen
Miles want of frankness in avowing at the
outset that he had granted liberal terms to
captives is severely criticised now 1t is
understood that the instructions given to
Gen Crook not to accept the surrender of
the Apaches unless they came in without
conditions were transmitted Gen. Mile. for
his information and guidance. These instruc-
tions were inspired by desire Of the presi-
dent to undertake new policy OF dealing
with the renegade Indian marauders, ana
contemplated their trial by the civil courts
and their prompt punishment for the crimes
they had committed. A requsition, its un-
derstood, has already been made by the
governor of Arizona upon the governor of
Texas for the surrender of Geronimo Tor
trial, but under the terms of the surrender
the president cannot permit the chief to be
given up to either governor.
Anxiety in Regard to Pleuro Pneumonia
Among Cattle.
Some anxiety is felt at the Departme mt of
Agriculture over the failure of the state and
local authorities to fully cooperate with the
department in its efforts to stamp out pleuro
pneumonia. The fund at the disposal of the
department for the suppression of contagious
diseases among cattle was limited to Sl00, 900,
and the heavy expenses of the last few weeks
have made serious inrosds on the appropra-
tion. Quarantine at Chicago is maintained
at a daily cost of $50 Illinois authorities
have as vet shown no disposition to CO oper-
ate in the work of the department, and the
infected cattle there have not yet been de-
sroyed. Unless some act,oI is taken by
the local authorities of Chicago to relieve the
situation the funds at the disposal of the
department will be exhausted 10 a few
months and the country generally left with
out protection against the Infectious diseases
of cattle.
The New Silver Certificates.
General distribution of the new one dollar
silver certificate began today and will
be continued until the demand which is very
great, has been entirely supplied. The notes
are now being printed at the rate of $4,000
day. The new two Collar silver certificate
will not be ready for issue for two weeks yet.
The Presidents Receptions.
The President resumed his afternoon re-
ceptions and today received about 200 callers.

Heaven hath never been so close,
And every step is over n rose.

Trouble and sorrow all men know;
Tenderer longing to help and give,
And make earth brighter because l live.

In sweetest flowers; each common care

Your songs were never so sweet as nowl

Bananas are perhaps the only non
stimulating article of food that can grow
on the taste like q seductive tonic.
Habitues would rather forego their
daily bread and would hardly miss pota-
toes. peas, or appless as long as they can
eat their fill Of the musn sapientum. And
OF that sweetmeat OF natures refectory q
minium Of culture will here produce a
yearly crop of 25. 900 pounds IN acre
enough to feed a family OF gluttoms the
year round. The Cuernavaca variety
produces a fruit from ten to fourteen
inches in length, and a single bunch often
contains more than 800 OF such fruit.
After n banana garden has once been
set out and got well rooted, subsequent
work for a tsn-acre orchard does not re-
quire more than a weeks labor per year.
1t simply consists In gathering the ripe
punches and cutting of the stem of the
palm-like parent plant. II left alone, that
stem will slowly wither; but If cut off
close to the ground the root stock pro
duces new shoots, which can either be
transplanted or suffered to grow up in
stu, to ripen their crop In the course OF
the next year. Maupertais enumerates n
dozen different reasons In support OF his
theory that man was originally a native
of the northern tropics, but to me the
best proof always seemed the circum-
stance that those regions comprise high
lands combining an abundance of ba-
nanas with n complete freedom from
insect plaques and climatic dis eases.
Banana planters have superior faoili-
ties for bee culture, for tho flower petals
of the musa drip with abundant honey,
but in Mexico that abundance betrays it
self chiefly in butterfly swarms, which
naturalists are apt to recollect, together
with the myriads of glittering Iriscrows
that compete for the gleanlngs OF the
south Mexico banana country.-Dr. Felix

LET it be remembered that congress is

members. and certainly has a right to be
informed as to the mode of their election.
For this reason inspectors are appointed
whose dufyit Is TO be present and endeavor
to ascertainif fraud is pcrpetrated upon
the government. 1t is Just as unlawful to
buy a seat in congress, as it would be to keep
voters from the polls by intimidation.
This is a matter that must not be forgot
ten. A Democratic congress has had the
fairness to seat Republicans and indie
pendents from certain districts where the
certificate Of election had been giyea to
Democrats by psrsSan governors, and it
If safe to say, that hlving made an ex-
