WAsHINaroN, August 9. The Speaker laid
before the House, to-day, q communication
from the Commission OF Agriculture, trans.
uniting report Of theexpenditures and re-
suits obtained by the Ladies' Silk Culture
Association Of California, and the expert
ments for encouraging the development OF
the culture of new silk.
The report shows that an orchard near
Oakland contains about 60 % trees from
one to three years old, and as many cut
tings. The work of the society in raising
worms has necessarily been limited to ex.
periments. Some important results have
been attained, which require further iufor.
matian before they can be fully availablein
q general sense.
The operations during the year have been
with reference to rigid economy, and the
society ia SO much the better cOgnizant OF
the work ecessary in order to develop the
station o. scientific, practical basis. 1t
has no liabilities, and the requirements OF
the future win necessarily be much greater
than during the past year. The completion
OF the water system, construction OF CO.
coonery, the establishment OF flature,
clearing OF more land, and enlargement OF
orchard and nursery, are among the designs
to be vigorously prosecuted in case means
are to be provided by Congress.

The Senate Does Some Business and Then

WASHINGTON, August S.-The Senate, after
passing the Chinese bill, passed to the con-
sideration OF bills on the calendar in regu-

following: Senate bill to authorize and
direct the Secretary of War to place on file
in the War Department the names of Off
GERS and members of the frontier guards
mustered into voluntary military service
Of the United States under Captain James
q. Lane, of Kansas, and issue discharge to
them.
The Senate then proceeded to the con-
sderation Of the fisheries treaty and was
addressed by Evarts in opposition to it's.
ratification. He ridiculed the idea OF re-
cprocity between the illimitable market OF
the United States and the stinted consump-

that the day was hot, Evarts postponed

The New York Anarchist Testifies Before
the Congressional COMMITTEES.
New YORK, August 9.-Anarchist John
Most was witness before the Immigration
Investigation COMMITTEES to-day.
Witness said he believed there were about
fifty millions OF sympathizers with social
ism in the world. While only about three
millions and a hall were openly working in
the cause in the United States, he thought
there were about two million Anarchist
sympathizers. Witness said there were
more Anarchists in Germany now than ten
years ago. For the past twelve months
he did not think over dozen had come to
this country.
He thought the number OF Anarchists in
the United States had been on the increase
OF late years, and he ascribed this to the
dissemination OF Anarchist literature.
They were mostly Germans, he said.
