The President Excuses His Delay

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.

ASaociated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD.
MILWAUKEE, May 19.-Der Herold will
publish tomorrow dispatch from its
Washington correspondent, in which the
latter says that he yesterday had an in
terview with President Harrison, in the
course of which he had informed the
President that Der Herold had com planned
of lack of recognition given to German
American Republicans. The President
replied in substance that he was friendly
toward COMMUNICATIONS, and desired
to do them justice, as everybody would
see, He had heard of some dissatisfac-
ton among them, because but few ap-
pointments, 30 far, had been made from
their ranks. He added that others were
also complaining, but that the public
would find no fault with the administra-
ton for its slowness in making
appointments if it knew the difficulties
in the way. When person was recon-
mended for appointment to an Office,
there were usually other persons who
would insist that a particular person
should, under no circumstances, get that
Office, or that somebody else should have
it. He felt it his duty to investigate
every case closely and fairly before tax
ing action on it. After a while every
body would see that his action was just,
and he had no doubt that the German
Americans would soon be fully satisfied,
for he had no desire to slight or wrong
them

THE LOST ALASKAN.
The Names of Some of Those
Who Survived.

tAssoeiated Press Disbatehes to the HERALD.
PORTLAND, Ore., May 19.-Followine
are the names of the eleven survivors
who. escaping the perils OF the sea
reached the mouth of the Suislaw river
from the foundered steamer Alaska: Ed
ward Ward, chief cook; E. A. Carlson
seaman; NJ. Kelcher, coal-passer; James

oiler; Edward Sharples, coal-passer
Harry Johnson, seaman; G. Fl. Ross

cook; Ed. Burns, seaman; j. Murray,
seaman.
Edward Ward made the following
brief statement "Owing to the ex-
citement that prevailed when we left
the Alaskan, which was in the act OF
sinking, l am unable to state, for certain,
how the other boat or boats got away.
think there was another cut loose at the
time we left the vessels side, but who
it contained, am unable to state. After
pulling about bali an hour we passed an.
other boat from the Alaskan, about 100
yards distant. 1t was moonlight, and
We tried to keep in sight of it, but could
not. This was the last We saw of the boat,
or anyone else from the steamer.
We sighted land about noon. We re-
doubled our efforts and pulled hard for
the shore. but darkness overtaking US.
we were afraid to land, owing to the
heavy breakers, which might dash us on
the rocks. We rested on our oars until
Tuesday morning, when we landed. We
were entirely destitute, and suffered
greatly from want of food and drink and
from exposure. The people of Florence
supplied US with food anu clothing"
A report reached here late this even
ing from Empire City, Coos Bay, to the
effect that another survivor had drifted
in on life raft.

MEDICINE IN INDIA.
A Doctrine of Physics Promulgated
by Bra h Minis.

by IBrah MINIS.
DR.. Hopkins declares that the Brah-
minis were the originators of the practice
of medicine, and that they carried it on
successfully even before castes were in
troduced in India. After the introduc-
tion of the system Of casts, the practice
of medicine Was absorbed by the priest
hood. The supremacy of the Buddhists
resulted in general distri button of the
Hindu knowledge of medicine. 1t was
particularly imported to Arabia, and
thence to Egypt and Greece. The ad-
vent of the Mohammedans in India,
however, not only checked, almost
destroyed, the general education in med
icine, for the Mohammedans substituted
superstition for science.
The general medical ideas of the Hin
dus, says DR.. Hopkins, contested of a be-
lief that an elixir of life could be discov-
vered, and that all diseases were curable
if Brahma would only reveal the remedy.
The ancient Hindu treatment contained
much that was absurd but, on the other
hand, it also contained much that the
| light of modern science had shown to be
correct. One peculiarity OF the Hindu
medical system was that it included hos
pitals for both men and beasts. OF
these the hospitals for men have disap-
peared, but those for beasts survive.
One of the latter is situated near Surat,
and is over 1000 years OLD. At this in
stitution ailing domestic animals are still
received and cared for. These hospitals
are maintained according to the edicts of
Asoka, an ancient ruler, which are cut
on the rocks near Gazaret.-[N. Y. Timer.

How Well Cherries Pay.

Fourteen years ago, when A. K. Me-
serve moved from San Jose to what is
now North Pomona, the fruit interests of
this locality, which now amount to tens
OF thousands of dollars, were then repre-
sented by zero. Mr.. Meserve had
planned to plant ter acres of cherries on
the land about his new home, thinking
that the crop would be a successful one
here and that the same large prices for
the fruit would prevail in this locality as
| in Central and Northern California. He
even went go far as to order 200 cherry
| trees from San Jose. Before the trees
were shipped, however, the few people
who were found in this valley at that
time, declared that cherries could not be
successfully raised in this part of the
State, and that every one who had
attempted cherry culture had made a
| failure of it.
Mr.. Meserve rescinded his order for
the cherry trees, but planted twelve of
the trees little later as an experiment.
These have grown we'll and for four years
have produced large crops. Last year
about sixty pounds of cherries to the
tree were picked and this year the yield
is over ninety pounds to the tree. Because
OF the early ripening of the fruit it COM
mands a large price in the market. For
four years Mr.. Meserve has sold the
cherries from his place at fifteen cents a
pound, cash on delivery, and this year
he has had more orders for his fruit at
this price than he can fill.
The success that this gentleman has
had with his cherry trees gives one an
idea of what money there is in the pro-
duction of this Kind of fruit. Sixty-fve
trees to the acre is about the average for
cherries. Now, with this number of trees,
producing ninety pounds Of fruit to the
tree (many will produce over 120 pounds
to the tree at twelve years old), there will
be $3.50 pounds to the acre. At fifteen
cents pound, that will amount to $S87. sc
an acre. The figures are as plain as day,
and it does not take much arithmetic to
arrive at the result. To be sure, it re-
quires patience 20 wait for ten years for a
good crop of cherries, but when il does
came, it pays royalty for all the patience
and the money invested. A ten-acre
cherry orchard would be this season
about as gooa source of revenue as any
thing we know of. The cum of $S,77C
from ten acres, it strikes us, is as big 8
sum of money from that amount of farm
land as can be found anywhere east ol
the Rocky Mountains.-[Pomona Pro

1T CAUSES HIM TO RETIRE FROM THE LACKAwANA
AND WESTERN DIRECTORY.
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Delaware, Lackawana
and Western railroad was held to-day. The
only exchange in the board of directors was
the retirement of Jay Gould, whose place was
filled by Henry \. C. Taylor. a son of the late
Moses Taylor. whose estate is still the largest
holder of the company's stock. The retire
ment of Mr.. Gould was in accordance with his
wishes, as expressed in a communication dated
January 81, 1889. as follows:
My Dear Sloan: During the past year my
health has been such that have been unable
to perform my duties as director of the Della
ware. Lackawana and Western company; nor
will be able to do so the year to come 1
write, therefore, to ask you to substitute, at
the approaching election. some one in my
place as director. Yours. truly,

PROBLEMS IN THE HOUSE.
The Constitutionality Of the Senate

WHY THE sUBJEcr WILL NOT COME UP N THE
HOUSE ro-DAY-wHY THE DEMOCRATS REVOKED
THE CALL ron CAUCUS. ETC.
Mr.. Mills and his colleagues Of the WAYS and
means committee have decided not 20 call nm
the resolution on the question of the constitu-
tionality of the Senate tariff bill in the House
to-day. This was construed by some Of the op-
ponents of the committee to mean that they
were afraid TO take the matter up. and il was
reported that the resolution. like the caucus.
was to be abandoned The ways and means
members declare, however, that no such con-
struction should be placed upon their action;
that they have no idea of abandoning the reso-
luton, but viii call it up and expect to pass it
through the House.
THE REASON THEY GAVE FOR PosTPoSINa THE
MATTER
is that pressure has been made to get them to
permit the post-office appropriation bill to be
disposed OF and to give Mr.. Crisp an oppor-
tunity to so on with the Sullivan-Felton con-
tested-election case. The republicans are fli-
clustering against the unseatiug of FELTON,, and
Crisp wants to get them on record unmistaka-
bly,. This record might be construed into a
precedent in the next House. After a confer
erence with Mr.. Crisp and the chairman of the
post-ofice committee MIR. Mills decided TO give
way for the election case and the post-ofiice
bill. When these are disposed of il is pro-
posed to call up the resolution.
WHY THE DEMOCRATS GAVE UP THE CAUCUS.
In connection with the decision 10 revoke
the soall for caucus il is said by those re-
sponsible for the call that they had two objects
in view, One was to get party expression as
to the Mills resolution, and the other to
decide whether or not the committee ON ap-
preparations should be permitted TO report a
revenue bill. Before the time fixed for the
caucus Mr.. Randall had actually reported
his bill and it was on the calendar
That matter was disposed of. and the Mills
resolution only remained to be caucused on.
As TO that, the men they wanted 10 caucus with
refused TO go into the caucus and rendered the
call useless. All those who would attend were
already agreed and did not need the binding of
a caucus to keep them together. Therefore
the caucus was declared of. as stated in yes

THE FALLEN HARTFORD HOTEL
1t was Known as Dangerous Structure
Mora Bodies Racouo.ad


More Bodies Recovered.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Feb. 19.-Work on the
ruins of the Park Central house stopped about
1890 o'clock this morning, having rea .hed
rather inefficient conditions at that hour. ind
the opinion prevailing that no one could longer
be alive in the debris. This morning at 7
O'Clock il was resumed. II is conducted under
or very near the portion Of the structure still
standing, and is at considerable risk. The
foundation wall OF what remains is crumbling
and the wind is knocking down bits of brick
from the different stories. The whole is GER
tain to fall unless pulled down. The pulling
down is deferred until more bodies are found.
THE BUILDING WAS KNOWN AS A DEATH-TRAp.
Meanwhile the rooms split in two are open
to inspection, and a suggestive picture Of the
fimsy construction is shown in the walls. The
building has long been under suspicion. No
Hartford insurance company would touch it,
and the local insurance officers have personally
denounced it to the city government
Work went on this morning for several hours
without finding any bodies, but about IL o'clock
the news spread that
TWO MORE BODIES HAD BEEN FOUND,
and in half an hour they were taken out and
covered with blankets and carried to the cor
oner. One was identified by Mr.. s. W. Calvin
the Rev. DIR. L. Perrin, Of Torrington, a
widely known Congregational minister. The
other Is believed to be his wife. She has since
been identified positively. A third body has
just been brought in and proved to be William
Boyle, of this city, who had a room in the
hotel.
HOW MR.. PENDLEToN ESCAPED.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 19.-The report that r..
c. j. Pendleton, of this city, was one of
the victims of the Hartford disaster, is
incorrect. His son, A. D. Pendleton, yester-
day afternoon received a message from his
father stating that his baggage had been de-
stroyed, but that he escaped. Mr.. Pendle-
ton left the hotel on Saturday to spend
Sunday with his son in Vermont. He stayed
just long enough to miss the accident that
doubtless would have resulted in his death had
he been in the building
