Chinamen Cannot Enter Land.

WASHINGTON, Sept IA letter has been received at the general land office from Nebraska making the inquiry whether Chinaman who has been in this country twelve years and has declared his intention of becoming citizen can make an original homestead entry. A reply has been pre- pared stating that under section 2, 169 of the revised statutes Chinaman cannot become a citizen, and therefore the entry in question cannot be made. It is stated at the land office that an application, as has been pub lished, has been received from a Chinaman in Wyoming to make timber culture entry and that no decision favoring such applica- tion has been made

THE IND jSTRlAL SITUATION.

 Promising Outlook.

Promising Outlook.
 BOSTON, Sept. l.-The Commercial Bulle- tin, in it's weekly review, says: Our reports from the manufacturing centers continue ta show an improvement in the condition O. manufactures, enough the advance in sew eral quarters is less marked than last week. Even i'll these industries the gain previously made has been held
 The textile industries have suffered the most severely, but they also show very marked improvement. Troubles among the cotton mills are chiefly ascribable to labor difficulties. Among woolen mills the ditfi- culty, almost without exception, has been caused by a slack demand for goods. On the other hand, the activity among southern cotton mills is remarkable, and the resump- Norfolk and Few Brunswick Hosiery com pany and the Riverside mills more than ovens the balance in that industry. There is no news fro1-, the silk mills that does not speak of the extension of old industries.
 The rate of increase in the shoe shops of New England is az marked and satisfactory as that of the cotton mills of the south.
 Glass making is everywhere picking up, and even the factory on Cape Cod has re- considered the decision to go out of business
 The improvement in iron and steel, though less marked than ill other industries, is worthy of note, extending as it does from Troy to Carondelet, and from Youngstown to Addison.
 The formation of two copper working companies has been the feature of the week.

The Senate Sub Committee Nearly
 Through with Them.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Senator Allison. chairman of the subcommittee of the senate committee on finance, having in preparation the tariff bill, says the hearings which have been held almost daily since May 26 last will be closed within ten days, and he gives notice to all interests desiring hearings that they must appear before Sept. s. The sub committee has confined its hearings mostly to senators and representatives, as they have been enabled to present the wishes of many more persons interested in the changes of the tariff laws than could otherwise have been heard, but large number of private citi- zens from every section of the country have been heard. The hearings have been with open doors, and stenographers have taken the testimony for the use of congress and the people at large, and it has been printed as rapidly as taken. The bill is to be laid be- fore the committee, in accordance with the action of the Republican senatorial confer ence Thursday night, within ten days, and is to be reported to the senate very soon there after

 Mast-The Children Weep and the Old
 Folks Sigh-Mr. Crowley Is Dead.
 NEW YORK, Sept 1.-Mr. Crowley, the chimpanzee of Central Park, whose fame ex- tends all over the country, and whose virtues have been repeatedly extolled in prose and song, is dead. He passed over to the great majority a victim to the ravages of consump- ton.
 For some time past he has been ailing at intervals and has been under the doctors care, but it was not thought that his case was serious. "Jake, his keeper and whilom fast friend, is overcome with sorrow.
 Kitty, the fiancee of the late Mr. Crowley, it is sad to relate, did not take greatly to heart the demise of her prospective spouse AS matter of fact she gazed upon his mani mate form and chattered away to herself in a manner that indicated she derived more pleasure than grief over the death of the greatest chimpanzee that ever visited America
 Mir. Crowley arrived at the menagerie in Central park on June A, 1884. He was then

Gen. Butler Discusses Timely Topics.

BOSTON, Sept. 1.-Gen. Benjamin F. Butler addressed a large audience of business men in Fremont Temple, on the tariff and fisheries questions. He declared free trade to be inn practicable, and deplored the Democratic policy as an abandonment of the system under which America had achieved marvels As to the fisheries question, Gen. Butler agreed that the existing retaliation law was too tame. The president ought, however, to have vetoed 1t on that ground. Having signed it, he stultified himself by ignoring it. Gen. Butler favored policy of genuine re- taliation. If Canada denies our vessels their rights, let us retaliate on British interests If our fishing vessels are kept out of Canadian ports, let us keep Cunard steamships out of our ports. Let the president enforce what power he has before asking new legislation He will then show statesmanship, not mere politics Gen. Butler was gener ously ap- J1lan6a1

but little bit of 8 fellow, & foot and half or two feet in height. Superintendent Conk- lin at that time used to allow him to run around loose in his office.
 He was highly intelligent and learned rap idly. Many of his actions were extremely human. To see him sitting at his little table napkin around his neck and knife and fork in hand eating bis dinner. was sight worth seeing, and has been enjoyed ny millions of people. Crowley has been the prime favorite of all the young people of New York and the star attraction for visitors to the city. His cage has been the Mecca of thousands daily, and during his illness the keepers have been overwhelmed by anxious inquiries by mail and in person
 Master Crowley was donated to the menag- erie by the Liberian minister. He had bought him in Liberia from the master of a coasting vessel, who had picked him up somewhere near the mouth of the Congo river, On the west coast of Africa. It is in this vicinity, and especially south of the river's mouth, that the native haunts of the chimpanzee are to be found.
 Mir. Crowley, besides being one of the greatest attractions of the Central park me nagerie, was very valuable animal This was chiefly owing to his fame, which reached into the nethermost parts of the known world. Mir. Barnum at one time offered S5,000, besides elephant, for him if the menagerie would let him have MT. Crowley for exhibition for one year with bis circus
 He also offered s25, ,OO0 if he could have him for five years, with a guarantee that he would live through the term.
 But the chimpanzee IS @, very delicate anil lHal and this consideration alone precluded any such arrangement.
 The monkey and ape family generally are subject to nearly all the diseases of man, and when sick they are treated in much the same manner. Cases of consumption, pneumonia, diarrhoa, bronchitis, catarrh, croup, asthma, toothache, convulsions and seasickness are some few of the diseases whi ch chimpanzee is liable to be attacked with
 This necessitates very careful treatment and handling, but notwithstanding this fact the chimpanzee never does have a long life under any circumstances in this country. No matter how careful he is protected, sooner or later-generally sooner-he will be at tackled by some disease which carries him off for good.
 Mir. Crowley is thought to be the only chimpanzee which has lived so long time in the United States, but even he, with his fine constitution, has at length succumbed to dread consumption.

Sales of Public Lands.

OFor the fiscal year 1ss7-s the sales of public lands in this country amounted to $11, ,005,- 900, compared with s9,OO0,O0O for the year previous, and S5, 100000 for each of the two preceding years. As early as 1856, says the New York Commercial Bulletin, the land sales rose nearly to S9, ,0O0,O0 but then they fell off and went as low as S152,000 in 1869, and never rose above S4,0OO,OO0 again for twenty years. In 1882 they again reached nearly S5,0O0, 900; in 1883, nearly $S,OO0, ,0Op; in 1884, nearly s10,O00,0O0, and then after two years at $5,OOO,OOo they began to rise, and for the year just closed reached their highest mark.

Postmaster Judd on the Ragged Edge.

CHICAGO, Sept. Tt is rumored that John A. King has been appointed postmaster of Chicago. Mir. King was seen by a re- porter, and said he had not been offered the postmastership and therefore had neither accepted nor refused the office Hs said, however, that the Chicago postoft1ce matter was under consideration at Washing ton, and that change in the near future was proba- ble. Telegrams from Washington are to the effect that if MT. Judd's removal has been decided upon the president is not yet ready to declare the fact There is strong belief, though, that MT. King will soon be Chicago's postmaster.
