MARINE MATTERS.

The wrecking tug Victoria J. Reed anc
the brig Julia Merritt, are at work saw
ing the metal cargo Of the STEAMSHIP
Eureka, sunk off the capes of the Chesa
peake.
The Old Dominion Line steamer
Roanoke collided with the brig Hyperion
off Absecom Light, on Saturday night.
The brig sank early Sunday morning in
thirteen fathoms of water.
A buoy will be placed to mark the
sunken wreck of the schooner Sallie c.
Martin in Cape May channel as soon as
possible. The vessel is sunk in eighteen
feet of water. Masters of vessels using
Cape May channel are cautioned to look
out for this obstruction until the wreck
shall be properly marked.
The United States cruiser. Baltimore,
was hoated from Cramps dry docks to-
day, where she has been examined as to
the injuries caused by the collision with a
coal boat. Beyond the clippingof a small
piece from the stern post, no damage
was done, and the monetary value is too
small to mention. Naval construction
officers have examined the vessel, and
are satisfied that the stern post has sus-
tanned no damage.

MINISTER'S IN POLITICS.
Presbyterisns Talked Against Prohi-
bition Yesterday.


The members Of the Presbyterian Min
isterial Association Of Philadelphia
talked politics yesterday after listening
to the reading of a paper by Rev. Henry
+. Lee Of the Eastburn Mariners Bethel
entitled Temperance in Politics The
speaker gave his unqualified Endorsement
Of the Brooks bill as a step in the right
direction, and held that the Republican
party was becoming more and more a
sound friend of temperance
Mr. Lees discourse was directed to
showing what should be done through
civil authority to diminish or abolish the
manufacture and sale Of alcoholic drinks
and what means Of organizations may be
best 20 do IT, "The Prohibition party, :"
he said, Judging from the advancement
it has made during the past twenty
years, cannot hope to be successful until
the millennium is over and long forgot
ten. II is a matter Of great joy that a
majority of the voters in many of our
states have come to favor prohibition.
We want this whenever it can be had and
enforced, but heaven knows prohibition
does not prohibit, and il is a pity any one
should so claim.
Continuing, Mr.. Lee said 1--WE have
shown that thirty-one out of thirty eight
States have adopted some form of prohi-
bition, and others, like Pennsylvania, val.
liable restrictive laws. In most cases
these laws have been enacted by men
elected in spite Of the opposition Of both
rumsellers and third party men, so that
the only effect Of this party, as factor
IN politics, has been to draw
off votes from The party TO
which we are mainly indebted for
prohibitive and restrictive legislation, and
thus to elect the candidates avowedly
opposed 70 all anti saloon legislation.
They have elected no Prohibitionist but
have secured the election of many anti
Prohibitionists They have thus become
the main hope Of the saloon power and
the chief fear of the masses of temper
ance people. Judged by words, they are
Prohibitionists; judged by their acts and
the effect of their acts they are
anti Prohibitionists anti-temperance
The Democratic party declares itself
against anti saloon legislation laws in al
most every platform. calling them stump
tuary laws While the Republican party
is becoming more and more IL sound
friend of temperance, 10 has now taken
much stronger stand against the saloons
than it did against slavery It's
later act in many states. especially in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and
the noble attitude of Warner Miller az
its present candidate for governor in New
York, strongly indicate it's present ten
dency. II will surely be easier for the
temperance people to give direction to
that party than to go out as a separate
party"
The paper was indorsed by Revs viii
liam p freed, J. G. Bolton. f. r. Craven,
r. II. Fulton and 4. A. Hoyt; but Rev
Tates Hickey took a different view Of the
matter. He said that he deprecates spe-
cific politics, and characterized the speak
ing Of the morning as Specific stump
speaking politics He thought there
should be fair show given TO the Prohi
ton party. philadelphia Record.

says Hon. John w. Bookwalter. who
travelled through that coursry and made
special study Of the subject, care Of the
crudest type. Ills pillow is simply the
forlked branch of tree, one end tipped
with q bit Of iron. Yet the In
din ryot plows his land not less than eight
or ten times before seeding; this produces
mellowness, but lacks the advantage Of
deep blowing Nevertheless India now
produces 800 O00. 900 bushels Of wheat
per year. and in that line stands
second only TO the United States. =
OF the lands now in cultivation it may
safely be said that they do not produce
half what they are capable Of under a
better system of culture. Tho average
crop in India Is about eleven bushels per
mere against sixteen in the United States.
eighteen TO twenty in France, and nearly
thirty in Great Britain The British are
rapidly introducing improved plows, and
increasing the means of transportation.
AS Great Britain imports food
supplies to the value of over $500, COG, 600
yearly, she is making efforts TO render
herself self sustaining, and her Efforts in
India have been attended with marked
results. Nothing will moro engage the
attention Of an American travelling here
at this season than the vast area Of
wheat that stretches away on all hands,
an interminablo sea of Scldon grain. One
might imagine himself IN the great fields
Of Iowa and Minnesota. Indeed, | do not
remember larger fields IN those states
than have seen in the rich valleys of
the Ganges and GodGvery"
