A Recipe That May Prov. If Benefit to
California yiney@@sists.
WASHINGTON, August 12th.-Oscar Malm.
ros, United States Commercial Agent at
Stetinne, France, forwards to the State De
partment the following interesting repo l
on the new grapevine fertilizer in use
there. NJ. GeorgeYille, the eminent Pro-
fessor of Vegetable Chemistry at the Paris
Museum of Natural History, writes as fol-
lows: During the FIVE years | have been
devoting myself to the study of the new
formulas of chemical fertilizers, the one
employed for the grapevine in 1889, at the
experimental vineyard of Vincennes, has
yielded 10000 Kilograms of raisins per hec-
tare, equal, say, to $50 hectoliters of wine.
| The receipt is as follows: Superphosphate
OF lime at 10 per cent, 400 Kilograms; car.
Donate of potash refined, at 80 per cent,
200 Kilograms; sulphate of lime, 400 kilo-
grams. Total, 1000 Kilograms
By plowirg, this manure, as far as prae-
ticable, is to be applied in the autumn, in
| November and December, or in case this
| cannot be done, in January and February.
The recipe is applicable to every variety
of soil on which vines grow. | have only
experimental on French vines, but l am
convinced that the above fertilizer will
have the same effect on American vines.
To the above recipe | add thatiI is desirable
to trim the vine stocks but little, and let
them remain till very tall. This will have
tendency to avoid attacks of phylloxera.
The manner of employing the fertilizer
is very simple. A little cup. shaped cavity
should be made around each vine, and into
which cavity one pours a quantity of the
fertilizer, which has been ascertained by
dividing 1000 Kilograms by the number of
vines on the hectare. A common water
tumbler may serve as a measure. by sur
rounding the tumbler with a thread at a
hight Of the dose required After the fer
tilizer has been applied, the hole should be
filed up with the earth removed, in order
to make it hot.
In case the vineyards are of very great
extent, one may proceed in still simpler
manner. One spreads the fertilizer in front
and behind the vines and covers it with
earth.
| am also informed that the favorable
consequences of keeping the vines tall may
be attributed to the circumstance that vines
kept in that condition are provided with
plenty OF leaves, which constitute the
respiratory as well as the digestive organs
of the plant, and that abundance of leaves
are required in order to give vigor and pro-
ductiveness to the vine; that. on the)con-
trary, deficiency of leaves causes de-
crease of sugar in raisins and in the course
of. time probably tenderness or spongi-
ness in the roots.

REVENUE CUTTER BEAR.
Report of Captain Healy to the Treasury
Department.

DcpdItIncnbs
WASHINGTON, August 12th-The report
of Captain Healy of the Bear, dated Port
Clarence, Alaska, July Sd, was received at
the Treasury Department to- day, in which
he describes his trip up to that time. He
left Ounalaska on June 18th, and arrived
at the island of st. Paul on the Goth, where
he was advised that schooner, supposed
to be sealer, had been seen on the 15ih
but had not since reappeared at st. Paul.
The scarcity of seals in appearing at the
usual places was noticeable. and especially
at their not being present in the usual
numbers. The breeding rookeries were al
most uninhabited by them, and it was
feared that the company would not be able
to secure their quota of the $1,000 during
the year. At Cape Navaim, where he
reached on the 23d, he gathered together
over fifty natives who were instrumental in
the succor of Napoleon's men, who were
lost in 1885. and the preservation of Vim
gent, the sole survivor, and he distributed
to them presents sent by the Government
in recognition of their acts. He believes
this act of the Government will spread
among the natives along the coast and have
a good effect when other vessels are
wrecked. The census of st. Lawrence
Island was taken on June 30th. Arrived
al Kings Island on the ID and boarded
twenty-five whaling vessels found there.
Afterwards Census Agent Kelley took the
census of the natives of the island.
Captain Healy was informed by Captain
Smith of the whaling schooner Mary H.
Thomas, from San Francisco that on June
Goth his colored steward Richard Price,
had stabbed William Noonan, seaman,
and threatened the life of the first mate.
Price was arrested and confined in irons
in wretched dungeon, but on request of
Captain Smith and of Price himself, Cap
tain Healy consented to receive him on
board the Bear, and at once put him to
work. Noonan is rapidly recovering.
On July I'd the schooner Oscar and Hat
tie of San Francisco left that port for Cape
Prince of Wales and Point Hope, with
houses for the establishment of schools at
those places.
AT the request of Commissioner Sheldon
Jackson Captain Healy took on board four
carpenters, who were transported to the
same place. In conclusion. Captain Healy
reports all well on board the Bear.

EASTERN TURF.
Salvador Easily Defeated Tenny at a Mile
and a Half


and a Half
MONMOUTH PARK, August 12th.-The
weather was magnificent, and the track
was in good shape. The attendance was
10000. The loadstone that attracted all
these persons was the Champion and Jun
ior Champion stakes.
Seven furlongs, Meriden won, Ny Fell
low second, Bellewood third. Time. 1:3O.
Junior Champion stakes, for two-year
olds, six furlongs, Strathmeath won, Sallie
McClelland second, Potomac third. Time,
1:16s.
In the Champion stakes, mile and half,
the starters were Salvador and Tenny. SAL
yator is the champion. He won that title
in fair and square contest with Tenny,
the only horse on the American turf that
has any right to dispute the title with him,
and he did il in such decisive style that
there can not be no question of his superb
ority. From start to finish, until within
three furlongs of home, it was pretty and
even race. ALI of sudden Murphy COM
menced TO ride Salvador. and the shout
went up, "Tenny is beaten 1t was true.
Tenny had to acknowledge defeat.
The fractional time of the race is as fol-
lows: Quarter 26:l, half sol, three quar-
tiers, LII, mile l:43. mile and quarter
200, mile and half 2:359.
As the victory settles decisively the ques-
ton of the relative merits of Salvador and
Tenny, and while the latter is a great
horse, he will have TO occupy secondary
position whenever Salvador is mentioned.
Two-year-olds, maidens, six furlongs,
Della colt won. Vanity second, Mileties
third. Time lie.
Mile and furlong, Eurus won. Eric Sec
ond, Sluggard third. Time, 1861.
Three-year-olds and upwards, one mile,
Gray Dawn won, Arab second, Sam Wood
third. Time, 1:42S.

SAN QUENTIN, august 18th. The escaped
conVlcts, Turcott, Hanlon and Manning.
after reaching the gulch near Lsurel Grove
threw up breastwork of limbs, stumps
and soil around a clump of trees in the
dense thicket and secured a commanding
and lmpregnable position. They stood the
siege about eighteen hours, firing at their
besiegers every once in a while, but not to
kill. Guard Bowen of Mendocino had the
stock of his gun shattered BY bullets from
their rifles, and the bones Of his forearm
were broken by the bullets rebounding.
After holding several negotiations with
the Sheriff, being convinced no one was
killed, and probably securing some con-
cession, they surrendered their Winches-
tiers to Sheriffs Standley of Mendocino and
Healy OF Marin. They were conducted to
San Quentin Prison. It is surmised that a
cousin of Manning was the party who con-
cealed the weapons on the prison grounds
and the officers are after him.
ARM AMPUTATED.
SAN QUENTIN (Cal J, August 12th.-Bow-
ems right forearm which was shattered by
rebounding bullet fired by a convict last
night, was amDutated to-day by Drs. White
of San Rafael, and Durant of the prison.
Bowen came from Mendocino county, and
had served a month on guard duty. He
prevented the escape of c0nvicts Ross and
Maynard last July.

WASHINGTON. August 12th.-The lottery
bill was favorably reported to the Senate
to-day with an amendment that news
papers published in foreign countries shall
not be excluded from the mails under the
provisions of this bill unless, in the opin-
ion of the Postmaster-G General, they are be-
ing circulated for the purpose of advertis-
ing lottery schemes in violation of law
Accompanying the bill is letter from the
Attorney General giving an opinion upon

Legislation of this character, that is de-
signed to exclude newspapers circulating

the Attorney General, have been upheld by
the Courts, and it has been settled that lit
is competent for Congress to authorize the
Postmaster General to refuse the use of the
mails to any persons engaged in the lottery
business"
