Blaine's Reciprocity Scheme.
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Frye,
in reply to Secretary Blaine's letter of
the 18th inst, has written him as fol-
lows: ''Your letter leaves me in some
doubt as to facts. l assume that your
views are contained in what is known
as the Hale amendment; that you know,
for instance, what the Latin republics
will receive of ours free from duty in
compensation for free sugar. assume
that that amendment was the result of
thorough investigation. The difficulty
about it is this: The amount of sugar to
be received from those States would be
comparatively small and the consume,
of sugar would receive no benefit from
it. Your letter to me extends the ides

admit if sugar is received free from
these islands as we'll as from the Latin
republics the people would be benefited
and sugar would be practically free.
But will Spain admit into those islands,
free of duty, the list of articles named
in that amendment? OF course we could
not enact Law more favorable to Spain
than to the republics. Do you know
what Spain would exchange for free
sugar, and can you give list of the ar
ticles she would receive? The better
way, probably, would be to make the
list she would receive the controlling
one for all these countries"

Large vs.. Small Pastures.

Every close observer of animal life
on the farm must have noticed that with
stock in the pasture field there are sys-
tematic habits and movements which
are quite regular if uninterrupted by
outside conditions. If the pastures are
large, with diversified physical condi-
tions-hills here, slopes there, and val
leys yonder-we may expect to find the
herd or flock at this point in the morn
ing, yonder by noon time. and spread
ing over new area later on. Resi- and
rumination also occur at regular peri
DDS during the day. The movements Of
the herd seem without leadership and
the body apparently drifts aimlessly.
but there is far more method in it on
the whole than some people suspect.
To the casual observer all this will make
little impression even if clearly pointed
out. but the philosophical stockman be-
lieves that each action of every MEM
Der of the herd is significant and seeks
to gather its meaning and out of the
knowledge construct rules for the man
agement of his animals First of all he
sees the Importance of a supply of water
at point or points convenient to the
herd and in such abundance that there
need be no tedious waiting for the slak-
ing of thirst. Again, he will realize the

except when they are saturated with
water. Drains, either on the surface or
under it, are a most effective means of
repair. In billy localities broken stone
is most useful for making repairs.
Water-bars made of broken stone will
be permanent. as they will not be cut
through and channels thus made to
wash out and damage the work. Gel.
verts paved with broken stone are not
washed out, and stay where they are
put. The most effective way to use the
stone is to lay large pieces where they
are to stay and break them there with
an eight-pound steel hammer. This
pounds the rock together and makes it
very solid and firm. A mud-sill of a

In the autumn of the third year these

cut off at two feet long serves as the

of the bed canes is of course regulated
by the strength of the vine, but it does
not exceed two feet. The growth of

miles east Of this city by which at least
ten persons were killed and a dozen or
more seriously injured.
Two empty freight cars were being
rolled on to side track where a car
containing 500 kegs Of gunpowder vas

terrific explosion and Immediately
afterward another car containing 500
kegs of gunpowder, making 800 Kegs
altogether.
William Frauly. brakeman in the
service of the Little Miami road, was
standing on one Of the empty cars when
the explosion occurred. His body must
have been blown to atoms, as no trace
of it has been found. Five other per-

AS soon as the news reached this city,
about FIVE o'clock, relief train was
dispatched to the scene of the disaster

large party of surgeons on board and
relief was afforded the sufferers as soon
as possible.
The latest advices are that ten per-
sons, mostly railway employees, have
been killed, and thirty or forty of the
mill employees wounded.

BIG MOUTH BASS.

northern lakes comes pouring down the
main channel of the Flats, which is al-
together too frigid for the comfort of
the bass. The johnson and Sny Carte
channels, being small, escape this icy
outpour, and, as the surrounding water
keeps warm, the bass crowd over there

channel begins to warm up, when they

Are there any marked differences in

I'm general way they are divided

the conclusion that the big mouth
variety are the best biters. On the
contrary the bass with the small mouth
is the fish that tho angler delights in.
That is the fish that runs away with all
your line and tests the capacity of your
rod. The big mouth bass lacks the
fighting qualities of his cousin, and
bears about the same resemblance to
him that perch does to trout. The
big mouth bass is usually found in in
land lakes, while the small mouthed
fighters seek tho cooler and deeper
streams. He is fond of currents and
eddies, and seems to delight in lying
close against a bluff bank, where he will
seize unsuspecting minnows that come
his way"
LAS to the bait for bass fishing?"
"The bait principally used is called the
club. but in reality it is only tho young
black sucker, which can be found in
great quantities in the rivers. The
genuine black head club, which is
caught only in inland lakes, is the best
bait. Take one about two and one-half
inches in length, continually wiggling.

NEW YORK, July 1S-A letter -
ceived in this city from Guatemala City;
June 9. gives the following facts in re
gard to the change of Presidents in San
Salvador and the death of Presiden,
Menendez: ''On June % the President
OF Salvador was to give a review of the
troops stationed at the capital and to
give ball at the palace in the evening
in honor Of the fifth anniversary of his
entering the capital under the banne,
OF the Liberal party. Every thing passed
of quietly during the day, but in the
evening, when the President was dane
ing at the palace, the building was sur
rounded by troops and an attack made
upon it.
The President rushed to his private
room and Selling his sword and pistol,
ran to the main entrance of the palace
and fired into the crowd of soldiers in
front He then stepped back and i'm
mediately fell dead into the arms OF the
attendants. The report was given out
that he died from stroke of apoplexy
brought on by excitement, but this as
sertion is denied and it is stated that he
was shot through the heart by one Of
the soldiers
General Eyeta then seized the pal
ace and issued proclamation declar-
ing himself President, but not mention
ing his party.
I'm the attack upon the palace eleven
men were killed. among whom was Gen
eral Marcial, son-in-law of President
Menendez. The latest news from there
is that every thing is quiet.
General Eyeta, the new President
was raised by Menendez from the post
of petty officer to the Governorship of
Santa Ana. Several days before the
rising Eyeta came up to the capital
with 1,5o0 soldiers, pretending that he
wanted to join in the festivities. In
making his arrangements for the over
throw of the Government he gave orders
that Menendez should not be harmed,
but it turned out that his orders were
not obeyed.
''The situation of the Central Amer
lean States at present is peculiar. The
convention for the union of the States
has been signed by Honduras. San Sal
vadOr and Guatemala, while favorable
report has been received from the State
of Costa Rica in regard to signing it.
The convention will also be presented
to Nicaragua next year, it being too late
this year, as the Senate has already met.
'Eyeta has sent word that he will
agree to every policy of the four othe,
republics except that upon the union
of the States. This as it stands is
almost an open declaration of war. and
it remains to be seen whether Guate-
mala and Honduras will endeavor to
make San Salvador party to the agree
ment"

TOPEKA, Kan, July 16.-Hon. Martin
Mohler, secretary of the State Board Of
Agriculture, is about as happy as any
body in the State in consequence Of the
splendid rain. Il regard the rain as the
salvation of the corn crop of the State, :"
said Mr.. Mohler. There has been
great deal of exaggeration
and scare about the condition Of
the crop in this State. There
were only few localities where
the drought had nurt corn much. Those
were so limited that l feel justified N
saying that the rain has made the corn
of the whole State. My best informa-
ton is that the downfall covered the
greater part of the State, and that it
was heaviest in the sections needing it
worst, the southern and northeastern
portions. 1t is true that few more
days OF the drought would have killed
the greater portion of the crop, but a
miss in this case was as good as mile. -"

'Muskallonge fishing is also exciting

trolling entirely, and are hooked mostly
in Baltimore bay and the streams rum

run in weight from ten to forty pounds,
and when one of the big fellows is
hooked he will jump four or five feet out

There is no question" said Mr..

universal netting in Lake Erie has hurt
bass fishing both there and in Northern
waters, and some means should be found
TO stop the practice"

NEW SILVER NOTES.
Description of the New Money We WIZ
Soon Get.


WASHINGTON. July 16.-The President
and Secret ary Window have approved
the designs of the new treasury notes
provided for the new Silver bill. which
were recently prepared at the bureau OF
engraving and printing in anticipation
of the passage of the bill. These notes
will be of eight different denomina-
tons, as follows: One dollar, two dol
lar, five dollar, ten dollar. twenty dol
lar. fifty dollar. one hundred dollar and
one thousand dollar. While each note
has a distinctive design outside Of its
value designation, they all resemble in
form and general characteristics the
present legal tender note. They will
all be printed in black on the face and
green on the back.
A new feature of the notes, intended
to prevent raising or alteration, is the
printing of their value in big, black let
tiers across the back. This will be done
in the case of the ones, twOs, fives, tens,
twenties and fifties. Black figures will
be used in case Of the 500 and the 81, 900
notes, as the width of the note will not
admit of the use of letters of the de-
sired size. They will say on their face
that they are redeemable in coin and on
their backs that they are legal tender
for all debts, public and private. Por-
traits will be displayed on the different
notes, so far as selected, as follows: Ex-
Secretary Stanton on the 81, General
Thomas on the SIS, General Sherman on
the $40, Admiral Farragut on the 500
and General Meade on the $1,000. The
vignettes for the 81, $50 and $50 notes
have not yet been decided upon.

with authority when dwelling on the
subject of fish, says the Detroit Free
Press. For twelve years he has caught
and studied them in that famous fishing
grounds, the st. Clair Flats, and has a
very comprehensive knowledge of the
habits and peculiarities of the fish
hooked in those waters. The law in re-
gard to bass fishing reads that they
''may be caught at any time, but only
with hook and line" The above may be
somewhat misleading to ambitious an
glers. 1t should have read that ''bass
may be fished for at any time" Catching
them is an entirely different matter.
The angler, however, who is not willing
to expend time and trouble in hauling
in black bass is not deserving of bite.
What time in the spring do the bass
begin biting?" was asked of Mr.. Slocum.
THE time varies. Heavy catches of
bass have been known as early as May
Is, but this is unusual The condition
of the water controls the movements of
the fish. The early bass fishing is done
on the Canadian side of the Flats, in
and around the channels known as
Johnson's and the Sny Carte. In the
early spring the ice cold water of the
