BALTIMORE, Aug. PA special from
Washington gives an interview with DR..
Hammond relative TO the Brown
Seguard's elixir OF life. He declared
that the sensational publications about
this new preparation were not authorized
or justified in any way. The doctor as
serted that the new remedy was believed
to be in the nature OF tonic, which it
was thought would be beneficial espec.

foolish story that it was something that
was going to prolong lie indefinitely, or
restore old people 20 youth. Neither he
nor Brown-Seguard has ever called it the
elixir OF life.
Cincinnati, DR. Harper, of the city in

on five inmates OF the inhrmary. They
were ail infrm men, over 70 years of age,

was a rheumatic cripple. The doctor re-

whatever, and he said he felt like he had
taken alcoholic stimulant. The doctor
concludes that the results found else

The Hawaiian insurrectlon.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. l2.-The steamer
Australia from Honolulu brings the news
that the United States steamships Nipsic
and Alert, from Samoa, were sighted fif-
teen miles out from Honolulu, August .,
just before the Australia sailed
From the remarks of the passengers on
the Australia it seems that it had been
arranged to have 400 or 500 more persons
participate IN the insurrection, among
them some Of the best standing, both
among the whites and the natives Let
ters taken from Wilcox, which led to the
arrest OF several well known people,
among them it is said is j. L. Brown
editor OF the Hawaiian newspaper. The
general impression is that the leaders OF
the riot will never be convicted, rs they
will demand jury trial by natives and a
majority Of those are in sympathy with
the movement.

New York, Aug. 12.--R. G.. Dun &
Cos Weekly Review of Trade says;
Changes in business during the week
though but slight have all been in the
right direction. At Galveston very fav-
orable crop report gives strength, and at
Boston there is sufficient spreading OF the
money market. The coal strike has
ended and removed the apprehension Of
closing many iron works in the Pittsburg
district. Manufactured iron is strong and
90 cents per ton higher. In woolens
there is not much change; sales have
been light and spinners still buy sparing-
Iy. The market for cotton goods is mora
satisfactory, but the market for raw cot
ton does not yield, although the new crop
is expected to be large, and from two to
three weeks earlier. During the week the
treasury has taken in $l,OOO,OO0 more
than it paid out, but merchandise reports
from New York for the week we're nearly
80 per cent above last years, with an
increase OF about 20 per cent In imports.

THE TANK SYSTEM.
Major powelrs Idea for Irrigation Of
Dakota Farms.

BISMARCK, Aug. l2.-Major Powell, of
the senate investigation committee, has
advised the tank system OF irrigation in
Dakota on every farm where it is prac-
ticabe. These tanks will catch the
storm water and store it until the water
is needed. JIo says that a twenty acre
tank filled with water to the depth of ten
feet viii irrigate 800 acres OF land, and in
crease the value Of the land from 800 to
400 per cent. Did we irrigate we would
never need any other fertilizer, and we
might crop onr lands without rotation for
1000 years. The water in this case is
the fertilizer, and land can never be ex-
hausted where irrigation is practiced.
