case OF Lieutenant William Strong, tried
on board the United States steamer TsIla-
poosa, at Moptevideo, February IL, 1899.
There were three oharges-drunkennes
on duty, neglect of duty and disobedience
OF orders-and the accused pleaded guilty.
The court sentenced him to be suspended
from duty for five years on one-half pay,
to keep his present number on the list,
and to be publicly reprimanded by the
secretary of the navy. In his endorse
ment Secretary Tracy calls attention
to the fact that another court
martial order in 1888 RENTED the
conviction of the same officer for drunk
enness. 1t was hoped that before the ex-
piration of his term of suspension he
would, by his conduct, justify the exer-
else of clemenoy shown in the remission
OF part of his sentence. But from the
fact that within two years the department
Is called on again to publish his convic-
tlon,it is evident that confidence was mis-
placed, and his second offense, committed
while on duty as an officer of the deck, in
dlcates that he has become addicted
to habits rendering him unworthy of
the confidence which the department must
repose in an officer. Lieutenant
Strong may well congratulate himself upon
his escape from more severe sentence, as
well as upon the further opportunity of
reformation offered, of which he appears
not to have profitted. For commissioned
officer to allow himself even to become
intoxicated is bad enough, but to be
drunk on duty is intolerable. Under the
circumstances, the sentence of dismissal
was RENTED. That an officer who has
been convicted of the offense disclosed In
this record should continue to be borne
on the rolls of tae navy, is manifest re
proach to the service.

IMMIGRATION.

Statistics of Immigration to the Argentine
Republic.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The department
of State has been informed by the legation
of Buenos Ayres, under date of February
81 last, that the chief of the Argentine
bureau of statistics has prepared a tabu-
lar statement of immigration to that re-
public, which contains the following in
teresting facts:
There were in the years from 1857 to
1883 inclusive, 1,374,797 immigrants,
while the immigration to the whole of
South America during the same period
was only 100000. The largest proper
ton of this influx from any one country
was that of Italy, which was over IS per
cent of the whole, followed by Spain,
France, England, Switzerland, Australia,
Germany and Belgium in the order given.
1t is expected the arrivals in the cur
rent year will reach 10000, and the Ar
gentine government anticipated the diff
Guilty from large numbers arriving, and at
agents to limit the departments to 200
a month, as it appears that many of the
1000 Irish who arrived in one
day became dependent on public
charity from insufficient preparations
made for their arrival.
The Argentine government is contem-
plating the purchase of some of the pub
lie land, in order to resell it in small lots
to actual settlers. At present a private
land corporation is Offering land to i'm
migrants near Bahia, Blanoo, at 500 per
acre, on twenty years credit, with 9 per
cent on deferred payment of installments
the company agreeing to furnish seeds
tools, animals, provisions, etc., to amount
of $1,000, during the first year, at fixed
price, with interest as above.

AN INTERESTING INVESTIGATION

Effect on Butter of Feeding Cows on Cot.
ton Seed Meal
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The agricultural
department has been making an analysis
of the butter from COWS fed on cotton
seed meal, which produces unlocked for
results. The analysis showed remarkable
points:
First-A low percentage of volatile
acids.
Second-A phenomenally high melting
point.
Third-A strong persistence of the re-
ducing agent
The second point is of Importance as
showing that mixing cotton seed with the
feed of COWS in the south will tend to raise
the melting point of butter, thus render
ing it more suitable for consumption in
hot climates.
Professor Wiley says, from an analyti-
cal point of vie&, the results are of great
est Importance, since they show that
butter derived from cows fed
on cotton seed might be con-
demned as an adulteration, when judged
by the amount of volatile acid present,
since cotton seed is destined to be cattle
food of great Importance, especially in
the southern part of the United States.
This is fact of great interest to analysts
and dealers.

FIRE AT TAYLOR.

Special To the Statesman

Ball in the Opera House Followed by
Special to the Statesman.
TAYLOR, May 3.-At $3.50 O'Clock this
morning fire was discovered in Threadgilrs
opera house, and the fire department
turned out in short order, but the building
could not be saved. The fremen gave a
bal in the opera house last night, and tho
fire broke out within thirty minutes after
the dancers had left the hall. The opera
house was CONSTRUCTED of iron, and COM
pleted last November at cost of $500,
owned by Doctor John Threadgill, and
WAS one of the prettiest houses in the
city. John Lloyd's agency had insurance
as follows: On the building, $4,000; on
the scenery, $3.50; on the chairs i
$3.50, and on this piano. 5000. Nothin q
was saved, and the Ellen Gillen building
adjoining was partly destroyed. The
glass fronts on the west side of Main street
were all broken. Although they had been
dancing all night, the firemen did good
work, but the infsmmable material was
too much.
The third and last day of the fair drew
an immense crowd, 5000 people being on
the grounds. A great many fine cattle,
horses, sheep, hogs and poultry were
awarded prizes end some fine racing was
seen. In the trotting race there were four
entries, Bands sorrel gelding Dick win
