issued by Governor Mellette: ITO the
people ofDakota: The appalling calanl-
ity which has befallep the people o.
YOUNGSTOWN and other cities in Pennsyl-
via is SO great in magnitude and Sc
destructive of life and property that We
should not fold our hands and feel that
there is nothing for us to do. No such
destruction has ever been wrought on
our continent by foods as that which
has just swept the Conomaugh valley,
and probably never will again. When
the food desolated a portion of our
country along the Missouri in 1881, will
ling hands came to our aid and did un-

The Sioux Indians at Rosebud are
like a good many others; they want to
p~alaver, and be sure they are getting all

be given time, like some kinds of fish

They will sign, it may be pretty safely
presumed. after they have had their
dance and their aboriginal ways have
had their vent Much less time will be
spent at the other agencies, as q sweep

rapidly. As a matter of time chiefly is
it de sirable that the work shall be made
a success on the line started. Present
defeat would throw the matter back into
congress, as a year is allowed for the
perfection of the law. 1t is imperative
that u portion Of the reservation shall
be under the control Of the whites and
filed with civilization in order that
direct access shall be had to the Blacl,
Hills. There will be 100000 population
there in the early future, and as a part
Of the state they must have access to the
rest without going out Of the state and
through other states many hundred
miles. Should the Indians reject the
second offer, the demand would be ire
sistible upon congress to designate con
ditions to It's tickle and untutored wards,

that his claim to the title was not of q

PUBLIC WORKS.
The Plans for the Tunnel Through n
Third street.

The Board of Public Works met yester-
day morning at the Council chamber.
The following recommendations were
made to be presented to the Council on
Monday:
That the petition OF l. w. Hellman
and others, protesting against the paw
ing OF Fourth street, for the reason that
a street railway franchise had been
granted over the street, be referred to
the City Attorney.
That the complaint of property owners
on Pearl and Third streets, that there
was need of drains and crossings, be re-
ferred to the City Surveyor for investi-
cation.
That further investigation be given to
the matter of the petition for streets in
the Berkeley tract.
That contracts be awarded for the
grading of Collado street to F. w. Bar
ron. and South DAILY street to S. W..
Bachman.
That the plans of City Surveyor Dock
weller for the proposed tunnel through
Third street.-the adopted and the matter
be presented to the Council for its imme-
diate consideration.
These plans contemplate tunnel ,OoO
feet in length, to cost about $3.50, 900, if
constructed of brick and stone /; if con-
structed of timber, the cost would be
about 100000. In the latter case, the
tunnel could not be considered as per-
manent fixture, and would involve con.
siderable outlay for annual repairs. TIE
roadway would be 26 feet in width and
the sidewalks on either SIDE s feet each.
The height at the center of the tunnel
would be 81 feet; the walls running up
perpendicularly feet before the spring
of the arch. 1t is proposed to have the
tunnel begin about midway between Hill
street and Olive and go through to
point just beyond Hope, thus running
under Olive, Grand avenue, Bunker Hill
avenue and Hope streets. The work
will take from six months to year. An
open cut through the same distance
would cost about $3.50 900 and would ruin
q great deal of property.
After a good deal of talk on the various
features of the proposed improvement
the Board adjourned.

THE CHILEAN PRINCESS.
The Inquest and the Testimony
Taken Thereaf.

The Inquest and the Testimony
Taken Thereat.
Coroner Meredith held an inquest yes
terday afternoon on the body of the
"Chilean Princess" who was killed Fri
day evening in her place back of the
Pico House. Her name was Amelia
Fajado, 81 years of age and native OF
Peru. Johnny Abbot was one of the
first to get to the spot after the shooting,
and in his testimony he told how he had
asked the woman who shot her and had
got the answer that she did not know the
man. He had his front teeth broken
and he came from San Diego. He was
a Chinaman.
All Sam also asked her the same ques-
tion and she told him the mans name
was Gee All Hing, and that he wore q
white hat which was all greasy.
The jury found verdict that the
woman had come to her death by gun
shot wound inflicted by gun in the
hands OF person unknown.
The police we're industriously at work
on the case yesterday, but found it a
difficult task 10 secure any satisfactory
clews. The woman was a member ol
the Chinese demimonde, and there
were several Cinnamon who claimed the
honor of being her husband. One ol
these, who was out on bail awaiting trial
for having committed battery on her, was
arrested yesterday on suspicion. The
case was to have come up yesterday be-
fore one of the inferior courts. The
mans name is All Houy. He was cap
tured on Upper Main street by Detective
Russell. He declares he knows nothing
of the affair, but it is asserted by some
of his own race that he had hired some
man, who fits the description given BY
the woman, to shoot her. Thus fal
there has been no very available evi
dence secured against him. No China
man answering her description of the
murderer can be found.

a, it is exceedingly poisonous, but 1

q, it is exceedingly poisonous, but |
think that anyone OF ordinary intelli-
gence, using proper precautions, can
handle it with perfect safety.
l have lately experimental with il on
orange trees, both when growing, when
they have been sprayed with solution
of one ounce of corrosive sublimate to
five gallons of water or thin paste and
when out of the ground for transplant
ing. In the latter case l have dipped
them in solution of the above strength,
root and branch, and in neither case.
have found any harm to come to the
tree. l believe that solution of this
strength will kill all insects to which it
may be applied. The only difficulty is
that of reaching all OF them. This, l
believe, can be done by the use of
spraying apparatus, which should be
made specially for the purpose, as the
corrosive sublimate acts very strongly on
metals. This action may, in great meas
ure, be obviated by we'll olling all metal
parts of the apparatus.
For trees in orchard form I prefer to
use the corrosive sublimate in conjunc-
tion with thin paste. From chemical
standpoint this is wrong, as the gluten
in the paste is incom patible with this salt
of mercury. Practically, in the proper
tions l have named, do not find that
the poisonous effects on insects is in any
way lessened. The solution, dropping
from the tree, saturates the soil under
meath it, SO killing any scale that may be
there and poisoning the ground, so that
do not think any scale could pass
through it by crawling without being
killed thereby. This would cut off the
spread of scale by the earth route from
tree to tree, the one most frequently
used by them in their travels, a very
great advantage, as l take it.
Many objections may be raised to this
remedy, but think that the advantages
will be found to 80 far outweigh the dis
that it will come into general
use not only for the several varieties of
scale. but also for the phylloxera which
affects the vine.
will gladly give further information
this remedy to any one suffi-
GENTLY interested to address me on the
subject. Yours truly,
EDWARD CHAFFEY.
