Admiral Rimberly's Report OF Z Sa-
Moan Disaster Awaited With
Great Interest.

SFcII interest.
WASHINGTON, April I.-While no doubt
is entertained here that Admiral Kim
berly did everything possible TO avoid
the dreadful disaster at Samoa, the re-
ceipt OF detailed report is awaited with
interest. When that is received it will
be decided what is necessary to make
any further investigation. Col. Romus,
judge advocate of the navy, says on the
subject the usual course followed in 4
case Of this kind is that Admiral
Kimberly will make a report to the sec
retary giving in detail all the facts in
connection with the loss OF the ships,
and men in the squadron OF which he
has command. That report in the nat
ural order OF things will be referred 10
me and il in my judgment it seems to
me that any neglect was displayed, or the
admiral failed to take all necessary pre-
cautions, | shall recommend to the sec
rotary that court of inquiry be held.
The functions of court OF inquiry are
very similar to those of a grand jury. II
after thorough investigation the court
convicted the admiral or found him re-
miss or did not display the seamanship
which ought to be expected OF him un-
der the circumstances the court will
recommend the secretary of the navy
that he be tried by court martial and l
should have to prefer charges l don't

convened. The secretary of the navy

wrecked naval vessels sent home are

effort will be made to get her guns

Tortured and Robbed.

BUTLER, Pa. April 9.-Lewis Patterson, a
prominent and wealthy farmer living near
Ceterville, was robbed, last night, by three
masked men. There was nobody in the
house with him at the time but his mother.
eighty years old. She heard a noise and
called to him. He turned toward the win
dow and he saw three men, who called TO
him to com out. Upon refusing, they
burst in the door, and, as the first man en-
tered, Patterson felled him with a poker.
The others Overpowered him, however,
and, dragging him barefooted to the barn,
threatened to hang him if he refused to tell
them where he kept his gold. When he de-
clared he had none they placed a rope
around his neck, but as he still persisted
that he had no money, they concluded to
torture him by roasting his feet at the fire
in the house. He was taken back to the
house and his feet and face burned. They
then searched the house. and after secur-
ing $43 In money and Mr.. Patterson's gold
watch, departed. declaring that if he moved
until they were gone a half hour he would
be shot dead. There Is no positive clew to
the d~esperadoes, but every effort will be
made to run them down. There is a firm
determination among the citizens to pre-
vent a series of Fayette county outrages
from being perpetrated in this county.

A Hearing Affecting the Rights of Colored
People on Railway Trains.

A Hearing Affecting the Rights of Colored
People on Railway Trains.
WASHINGTON. April 9.-The Interstate
commerce Commission will tomorrow be-
gin the hearing of arguments in the case of
Wm. III. Heard, colored. against the Georgia
Railroad Company. The issue presented
in this case is whether the petitioner, while
riding on a car of the company, was sub
iected TO undue and unreasonable prejudice
and disadvantage. Heard was travelling on
q first-class through ticket from Philadel-
phia to Atlanta. When the train reached
Augusta. Ga. the passengers had to change
from the road on which they were travelling
to q car on defendants road. Petitioner
being a colored man, was compelled to
enter and occupy, while on the train, a CON-
partment car in use on the road. These
cars are divided into two compartments,
one of which is for the use of colored
persons and the other for the use
of smokers by persons of either
color. Petitioner claims that these accom-
modations were second-class and inferior
In every way TO the accommodations of the
first-class coach occupied by the white pas
sengers on the same train. This. he claims,
was in violation of the section of the inter-
state-commerce law which make it unlaw-
tul for any common carrier to subject any
particular person to any undue, unreasOn-
able prejudice or disadvantage in any re-
sDect whatever. The same petitioner was
complainant In a case involving like
charges about eighteen months ago. This
against the company. and the commission
then ordered the company to cease and de-
eist from subsecting colored passengers to
1Beh prejudice and disadvantage. Petit

Cider Is Not Salable i'm Iowa.

DIES MONIES, Ia. AT 9.-An interesting
liquor case has just beo,' 'ecided at Mount
Pleasant. The defen were tried on
the ordinary liquor g indictments.
The witnesses had, 6 own by the evil
dence, bought cider In the defendants res
%taurant. The question was whether or not
cider is classed with intoxicating liquor.
Judge Travers said that while cider is at
first a n~On-intoxicant, it becomes ~intoxicat-
ing in course of time. Since tue Law pro-
hibits the sale of all intoxicating liquors, it
prevents the sale of cider. Judge Travers
also overthrow another ingenious evasion OF
the law. In a shanty, near Mount Pleasant,
a board partition had made a large room on
one side and a small one on the other. A
toner could deposit his money and get his
drinks without seeing the man in the other
room. This made it possible for the Gus
toner to swear that he did not see the
liQuOr-seller, and did not know who he was.
The proprietor in this case is now in Jail,
serving a sentence of four months.

AIDS TO AGRICULTURE.
The Experiment Stations In the Various
States ard Their Work.

The Experiment. Stations in the Various
States ard Their Work.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The first docu-
ment published under the authority of Gov.
Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture, is bulletin
No. 1, about the agricultural experiment
stations of the Department of Agriculture.
This pamphlet, advance copies of which
were furnished to the press tonight, con-
tains a great deal of information relating
to the history and prospects of the a~gricult-
ural experiment stations which are now
conducting scientific and practical expert
ments in soil, manuring, tillage, crops,
stock feeding, d~airying, horticulture, etc.,
In the different States. Such institutions
for scientific investigation in behalf of
agriculture nave been long in operation in
Europe. The first one in this country was
begun in Connecticut. in the chemical
laboratory of the Wesleyan University,
fourteen years ago Other States followed
the example, and in 1887 Congress espoused
mum to each State and Territory. The
enterprise has enlisted in it's support the
best universities and colleges, and the
ablest Investigators of the country. as well
as a great army of practical farmers: to
benefits. All the States and one Territory
-Dakota-now have agricultural expert
ment stations. Several States have
two. and Louisiana has three.
The total number of stations
now is forty-six, or, counting branch sta
tons. nearly sixty. They employ more
than 80 scientists and agriculturists, and
receive this year $685. 900 from the nation
al government and about S125, 900 from the
Stat J and other sources. This is one of
the piost important of the governments
scientific enterprises. and, although SO
young, is the largest of the sort yet under
taken by any nation. An especially IA
vorab1e feature is the cordial relations ex-
listing between the stations and the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington, which
is charged by Congress with the duty of
supervising and aiding the stations in their
work. The officers of experiment. stations,
acting with the Association of American
Agricultural Colleges and experiment
stations, are able to accomplish much in
this line, There is established q direct
connection between the national depart
ment and the people of the country, which
must result in much good.
