WAsHINGGy & April 2s.-The senate dur
ing the com lg week will dispose Of the
land grant i feiturc bill. the pensionlap.
preparation bill and possibly the customs
administration bill, known as the Mckinley
bill. The land grant forfeiture bill remains
The unfinished business on the calendar.
III is likely that the appropriations com
lmittee will attempt 70 sandwich the pen
sion bin In between this measure and the
Mckinley bill The appropriation bill has
no place in the order of business, but the
other business Of the sennte must give It
right Of way. 1t was thought AT first that
the Mckinley bill would so through the
senate without opposition in the form IN
which it came from the finance committee.
There was no opposition TO it in that com
mittee and there will be no Democratic
Opposition Of Importance on the floor Of the
senate. But opposition has developed in 4
new quarter and il promises to delay by d
day or two the passage OF the bill.
Mr. Evnrts has announced his Satention
Of offering some amendments to the bin az
reported from the committee, the chief Of
which is proposition that all final indg.
ments when in favor OF the importer shall
be paid by the secretary Of the treasury

ations provided for ia the bill. This pro
posed amendment does not meet with thu
sanction Of the members OF the committee
and its introduction il likely to lead e
some debate
Il is the intention of the Republican
leaders Of the house to force the silver
question 10 a conclusion SO far as the hous,
is concerned during the week The com
promise silve- bin will be the measur,
brought forward, and two days will b,
given to its discussion, voting on its pas
sage TO take place Immediately at the con
elusion of the debate.
The Morrill, service pension bill which
recently failed to gain hearing under sus
pension of the rules, will be considerec
probably on Tuesday, and pushed TO con
clusion before adjournment Of that day
This bin was sanctioned by the Republican
caucus on last Wednesday and the Repuh
licans have virtually pledged themselves
to its support, An arrangement has beer
made by which one day in the week, proha
bly, Friday, will be set apart for the pas
sage of public building bills Mr. McKin

not begin during the week but he ma,
bring forward the Dingley bill 70 increas

BALTIMORE, April as.-This city was

Of damage done By Ii can only be figured

hailstnnes were like rocks, some 81 them

All over the city the damage was heavy,

1t matters little to the aver

wherefore and the ups and
downs of trade-it may blow
hot or blow cold blow, belwet or

the signs carefully and carnot
afford to neglect the condi-

ting trade. Our orders were
placed last December, the
goods, by reason of storms, ad-
verse winds, shipwrecks and
what not, have just arrived,
fully three months behind
time. Shipment has succeeded
shipment and the consequence
is an overstock. We have re-
ceived 100 pieces of fine Joint
less China Mating in heavy
Damasks, Vice Roys and Bril-
liante, all the very best brands
and novelties.
The price of the heavy
Damask has always been 90
cents-we shall sell this lot
for 40 cents per yard.
The price of the Vice Roys
has always been so cents-we
shall sell this lot for IS cents

The price of the Brilliante
has always been 40 cents-we
shall sell this lot for IS cents

These goods are jointless or
seamless mating, the same

CHAPTER ".
The Young Plants, their selection,
The Nursery for their First Recep-
ton, Field Planting.

In obtainin 6 the young plantsth young
pr they can be got the better it will be, as
they grow much mOre rapidly and arrive
to maturity earlier; on the other hand they
sh0uId not exceed % or 26 inches in h eight
for these reasons, that they are more pro
ductive, being quicker in giving sue Kers
or shoots and a great number Of them at
the same time growing with more yig0r.
If the field be not ready at the time of
receiving the plants the c9ltivator must
Immediately establish a nursery for them
which consists in getting a piece of soft
land or digging up for tho parnOSe and
securing it with II fence this place must
bio free of all shade, as this would iujure
seriously the plant which requires all the
exposure possible to the sun.
In getting the plants it is precisely ne
ceSsary that their main roots remain on
them as being for transportation they
will by this retain their verdnre for 4 long
time. In The nursery they must be plant
ed at the distance of 18 inches. apart, which
makes about nineteen Thousand suckers 10
the acre, and in the following manner: first
take off the dry leaves, then cut the main
roots clean off and pare as closely to the
trunks as possible all arOuul without injHr-
ing them, nor so deep as to allow theleavel
to fall off; after this, place them in the
ground perpendicularly, putting in and
covering only the inferior parts of theitrunk
with dirt ; all this care and attention in
their Infancy is the way of having quick
returns, and although they be not yet
planted in the field still they merit this
attention which will AMPLY repay the Plan.

ed ruined by continual fires, such as our
savannahs. These are quite suitable for the
plant, provided they do not keep the water on
them very long.
Sugar estates recently thrown out Of cult
walton are unfit from the manure which rem
ders the land rich ,as the consequences would
be that the plants grow rapidly, give a large
leaf, but produce no fibre. The same, would
l consider, apply to the very cool mountain
climate OF Jamaica where it might grow, but
give little Or no fibre.
It requires all the heat possible to give good
results. 1t would be necessary IN the Selec-
ton of the lands to have level ones rs near
as possible, which will admit Of the easy and
cheap carriage of the leaves from the field to
the machine.
The Preparation of the Land. = OF this no
consideration needs be taken apart from hav-
ing the land cleaned up and fenced, plough
ing and manuring not coming in the way at
all.
After the selection of the land has been
made, proceed III the month of June or July,
as is customary in Jamaica, to cut down
and clean it up, taking care to nay the trees
cut rs close to the earth as is possible, leav-
ing in this way very short stumps, giving
room to the play the leaves ought to have.
The stumps should be burnt out or taken out
somehow, SO as to create regularity in the
h. planting, all this should be lone and the land
made clean to meet the month Of September,
which generally brings much rain if a return
Of very high weed, give it a cleaning and so
have it prepared for the reception of the
plants as this will be the opportune time to
put them in, taking advantage of the seasons
to make a good start, all the plants being
provided in their nursery beforehand.
The land for the planting of Sisal Hemp must
be entirely free from all shade as the plant re-
quires very much the aid Of the sun to for
ward its growth and give the necessary result;
it would not thrive if shaded, the more heat
the more fibre it turns out there b0ing less
bagasse.
1t may be plan ted any month Of the year
but it is wiser to do SO during rainy seasons,
for the plants getting a fair start, will not be
retarded SO much in their growth as they
would otherwise and consequently will give a
return far sooner.
Fences are only required when the plants
are young, as being diminutive they would bs
t~rampled or knocked out of their holes, but
SO soon as they pass that condition, fencing
becomes more a luxury than a necessity, the
reason of which (already said) is that no
animal moleSts the plant, rather keeping
away from it.
