HARTiNGTON'S INGRATlTUDE.

The Stand Taken by the Former Friend
and Ally of Gladstone Meets With But
Cool Commentator Even From Those
Opposed to the Premier's Measures.
LONDON, April 28.-The meager APP.
proval awarded to Lord Hartington's
speech at Rosendall is very disappointing
to those who are relying upon that gen.
tleman to concentrate and make formid-
able the opposition to Mr.. Gladstone's
Irish policy. There is traceable in the
tone even of those who speak favorably
of the substance of the speech, ten
dency to refrain from eulogiZing the no.
BILE Lords attitude. The fact is that the
inherent British admiration for constan-
cy, whether III friendship or in opposi-
ton, is repelied by the spec
tacle of Lord Harrington turning
against the chief who has magnanimous-
ly trusted him through many We ars. This
feeling is the more marked on account of
the fact that Harrington is acting simply
as an obstructionist, without proposing
any alternative measure for the ones he
opposes. Such a course is political sui
eide at this time, when all parties
recognize that Irish remedial legislation
of some kind is unavoidable. Lord Sails
bury is now credited by many with having
used Lord Harrington as a cat's.paw in
the pareying that not long ago took place
between the Conservatives and dsSatis-
fed Liberal leaders. 1t is remarked as
significant that Salisbury has not as yet
said much as to what measure he would
himself favor if called upon to formulate
substitutes for the bills brought in by
Mr. Gladstone. The idea is losing preva-
lence that he would under any circum-
stances consent to act under the leader
ship of Lord Harrington, though the PaE
Nall Gazette still speaks of such
an outcome as probable from the exist
ing situation. 1t is the more general
belief that Salisbury will not commit
himself to any proposals unless he is
called to do SO in his capacity as natural
leader of the Conservative party. In the
event of the defeat of the Gladstone
ministry such a course will meet with
general appreciation as in accord with
the traditional principles of British party
craftsmanship.

Oats in Orchards.

The practice which prevails to some
extent, of sowing the orchard in oats is
injurious. In the first place the oats
appropriate the available plant food in
the soil which the trees would otherwise
get. When a cultivated crop is planted
in an orchard the cultivation develops
more or less plant food, which COM
pensates in part for that taken up by
the crop This injurious action can be
remedied a good deal by heavy manur-
ing. The other is that the numerous
fbrous roots of grain fill the soil,
especially that near the surface, so fully
as to crowd out the feeding roots Of
trees. The latter are the small fibers at
the extremities of the large roots. 1t
may also be mentioned thatsmall grain
crops make their heaviest demands
on the soil in the spring, just the time
when trees are making their most &C
tive growth.-F'drm and LiUe Stock.

Awful Effects of Brothers Anger.

GALVESTON, Tex, April 27.-About five
O'Clock yesterday evening two brothers,
John and Edward Burke, proprietors of a
grocery here, became engaged in a quar-

John drove his knife into the left side OF
Edwards throat, severing veins and ar
terles and infiicting a CHASTITY wound of
about two inches IN length. John, realz-

rushed into the store, picked up a der
ringer, placed the muzzle over his right
eye pulled the trigger and sent the bullet
crashing through his brain, infiicting a
CHASTITY wound from the effect of which
he is now diving. Edwards wound,
while dangerous, is not necessarily fatal.

Defects Of the Sense of Smell.

reported in the papers, DR.. Stevenson
likens the smell of choral hydrate to
that of lemon. Having always felt that
the odor of the former was accurately
represented by that of the watermelon.
and having vainly endeavored to trace
the faintest resemblance in it to that of
lemon, l have asked myself whether I
am suffering from defect of the olfac-
tory sense, which, in the absence of a
name for it, / venture to call AMOS

including the eminent analyst referred
to- will kindly put me right in this mat
ter, the subject being, as it seems to me.

Baltimore and San Francisco Each Visited
With a Costly Contiasration, the Latter
Involving Loss ofkOver a Million Dol
lars.
BALTIMORE, Nd, May 1.-The most
disastrous conflagration that has visited
Baltimore for many years broke out in
the four-story building No. 31s West
Baltimore street, between Howard and
Liberty, at 1880 p. m. last evening, and
caused loss of over half a million dol
lars. The building was occupied by S.
w. Floss & Co., dealers in notions, etc.
The fire was discovered on the second
floor, and like a fash of lightning it ran
up and down the elevator shaft, envelop-
ing the entire building in flames almost
before an alarm could be given. Imme-
diately after the arrival of the first engine
a general alarm was turned in, for it was
seen that serious confiagration was i'm
pending, and every engine was soon upon
the ground.
The flames spread with alarming rap
idity eastward to the top story of Nos.
BIG and 314, occupied by Frank & Ad-
Ter, wholesale boots and shoes, and to
No. 312, occupied by Witt, BREEDER &
Co.; and westward to Nos. 800 and 322,
occupied by M. S. Levy & Son and M.
Ring & Son.
About twenty heavy streams OF water
now played upon the flames, and the fire
was for the time under control, but a
strong wind whisked the flames into the
upper stories of No. 1924 and the whole
sale carpet house of Imwold & Meihring,
Nos 326 and 32S. The fire then turned
the corner and ran up North Howard
street, taking in the upper portions of
No. 2. and 6, where it was finally
checked.
The progress of the flames was watched
anxiouslv by thousands of people.
SAN Francisco, May 1.-The most de-

stroyed this large four-story building,
with all it's valuable contents, and burned
