are farther apart it would have to be
larger. This tool has much the look of
q cultivator at work, with the ends re-
versed. In using it we let the weeds get
large enough to pull nicely from in the
row, cultivate with common horse or
hand cultivator, following with the tool
described, and if the rows are not too
long it will clean them perfectly. IF it
should be necessary to unload before
getting to the end of the row lift the tool
without stopping the horse; this leaves
it in a bunch, when it can be carried
from the field if desired, though it will
nearly all die in the pile. For the teeth

apart and one in the center behind. I

A Minority Report Submitted to the
House of Representatives.
WASHINGTON, August 30th.-Representa-
tive Dalzsll to. day submitted 10 the House,
in behalf of the minority of the House
Committee on Pacific Railways a report in
opposition to the bill for refunding the
debt of the Central and Union Pacific
roads. 1t is signed by Dalzell, Flick,
Cooper of Indiana, O'Neil of Massachusetts,
and Reilly.
The opposition of these Representatives
is based upon different resolutions, and
they refrain. therefore, from setting forth
at length their individual views. Some OF
them are of the opinion that this legisia-
ton is premature at this time, as the seven
years yet 10 elapse before the maturity OF
| the debt may bring forth changes IN the
| financial position that would prove any
action taken at this time unwise.
| If the funding Acts eventually receive
| proper method they can as well be passed
| hereafter, when the relation between the
Government and the debtors, at the time
| the debts mature, can be intelligently
| grasped.
| The minority are unanimous in their
| opinion that the railway companies are
| not justified in asking any arrangement
upon business principles, except upon q
basis that they shall pay the uttermost
| farthing of their debt. They are clearly oil
| the opinion, as a plain business PROPOSE
ton, that the bill reported by the majority
gives unjust advantage to the debtors, and
fails to do justice to the Government.

THE EDmUNDs RESOLUTION.
Many Senators Opposed to a Recess
Being Taken.

Being Taken.
WASHINGTON, August 3Oth.-There was a
good deal of chat around the Capitol to-
day on the Edmunds resolution providing
for a recess of Congress from September
10Th to November 10Th. When the confer
ence was held at Senator Teller's house
some weeks ago, it was stated that the talk
about an extra session was large part OF
the debate on that occasion, and although
interested politicians try to deny what was
said. they failed to upset that fact. Now
comes the resolution of the Senator from
Vermont. which looks to what is practi-
cally an extra session, but which puts the
matter in such position that the Presi-
dental responsibility is evaded.
The President has expressed himself on
more than one occasion as opposed to an
extra session, except when there was great
emergency, and it would be difficult at
this time to persuade him that an emer-
gency existed. The adoption of the extra
session resolution is looked for, and the
President would not have word to say
about it in that form.
There are those who say the President
wants Mr.. Edmunds to succeed, because
the Federal elections bill would be consid-
erably advanced thereby, and it would be
hurried without his having to indulge in
any public expressions which would COM
NIT him. Of course, the resolution will be
opposed by the Democrats. They realize
that dreaded and hated force bill'' will
move forward much more rapidly under
the proposed order of things than it would
if there were no session until December.
If the Senator from Vermont insists on
his resolution, the time which he has set
aside for campaign holiday will be used
in debating the merits of his proposition.
More than one Republican Senator is op-
posed to the idea. The closing of business
on the 10Th of September would mean that
the tariff bill would remain in the hands oil
the Conference Committee until November,
for no one believes it could possibly be
ready for an agreement within three
weeks.
Other Republicans think the recess
proposition confession Of delinquency,
and for that reason they prefer to sit the
session out to its end.

THE MATTE C. DYER.
Particulars of Her Seizure by United
States Collector.

States Collector.
VICTORIA (B. O., August 30th.-Tbe
sealing schooner Matte q. Dyer arrived
yesterday afternoon from the North for re-
pairs. She was seized at Ounalaska, June
18th, by United States Deputy Collector
Dick Emmons, the schooner having gone
there in distress the day previous. Captain
Mackler informed the authorities that he
had not transgressed the sealing laws nor
offended the customs regulations. About
one week afterward the Deputy Collector
went on board and took possession of about
one quart of port wine, which was all there
was on board, though the vessel was en-
titled to five gallons. When the case was
brought before the Court it was dismissed,
the Judge holding the vessel had been
seized for probable cause.
The vessel, it is stated, had gone into
port because she had lost her headgear and
bad a crazy man on board. She had
seventy seven sealskins, all of which were
returned except three, when taken to
Sitka. The Dyer was put ashore and
grounded, when the officers went through
her. The Captain and crew were taken
ashore and confined in the old Boranoff
castle, where they were kept for three
weeks. The authorities took away the
skins, sails and all the vessels findings.
The grounding had caused her to leak
badly. This had been partly stopped, and
she was here to be overhauled. The seals
seized had been taken at least forty miles
from any shore in the North Pacific, and
the Captain said he had never been in
Behring sea, but had simply gone into
port in distress. The, man who made the
seizure was q new official, and the Captain
said if vessels could be seized as his had
been, it would be possible to seize any YES
sci in the world for probable cause.

AMERICAN PORK.
The French Press Admit That Prohibi-
ton is q Mistake.


PARIS. August 30tb.-Several of the
French papers have been discussing United
States Minister Reeds letter to Foreign
Minister Ribot concerning the prohibition
of American pork. The Journal des Debats
thinks the prohibition unreasonable in
view of American pork receiving the highest
prize at the French Exposition, and thinks
the Government will soon withdraw it.
La Pdys says that if American retaliation
is carried ont it would cut off the sale of
4 900 GOO 600 francs of French products an
nually, and public health would not be
damaged by admitting few tons of Amer
lean pork.
The Figaro thinks France was wrong in
the prohibition, but holds it now impos-
sible to move backward or lake the attitude
of Welding before the economic threats of
America.
The Monite,u Unirerselle points TO recent
address OF NJ Ribot as proving that the
Government is convinced that it must
abandon the prohibition. This conclusion,
it saws, was reached after hesring from the
French Minister at Washington. If France
persisted in the prohibition of American
pork il would have TO submit to heavy
advance in duties on its products.
La LaateTne thinks the French wine
growers will soon be convinced that there

Assistant POstmaster-General Clarkson's
Service Practically Concluded.
WASHINGTON, August 30th.-Assistant
Postmaster General Carkson practically
concluded his service in the Postoffice De-
partment to-day. The President much
desired his further continuing in the place,
but Clarkson was unable to remain longer.
Clarkson will assume the Presidency of the
Judson Pneumatic Railway Company,
which applies new principles to locomotion
and motive power in cities.
In nearly eighteen months in the office
Clarkson has appointed 1858 fourth-class
Postmasters and established $500 new post
offices In Presidential offices 2,2l7 ap-
pointments have been made during this
time, leaving only 400 of this class of offices
unchanged. The striking feature is the
number of new offices established, over
half of which are in the Southern States.
The men most prominently named as
his successor are L. T. Kitchener, of Indi-
ana; H. c. Payne, of Wisconsin; John N.
Irwin. of Iowa; Samuel Fessenden, of Con-
necticut; w. w. Morrow, of California, and
E. c. Fowler, now chief clerk of the office.
