point Nor hemove q Supervisor.
CHARLESTON, s. c., July Am interest
ing case involving the right Of the gov
ernor TO remove the supervisor Of -egistra-
ton was decided in the court of common
pleas to-day. Judge Wallace holds that
the governor can neither appoint nor remove
a supervisor without the consent or advice
Of the Senate. Mr.. Cantwell, the supervisor,
had been removed on the ground Of holding

patible or unconstitutional.

ROME, July 2.-The Osseroators Romano
to-day strongly condemns the dreibund as

PROVISIONS OF THE NEW TREATY.
PARIS, July 2.--Tha Mdttn to-day de-
clares that the new treaty of the so-called
dreibund suppFesses three clauses OF the
first treaty as follows: First, that clause
which compelled Italy to send three army
corps to the Alpine frontier 10 the eveat of
Franco-Germau war. Second, the clause
compelling Austria to station troops on the
Russian frontier in the event of a Russo
German war; and, third, the clause fixing

SIR FERGUSON IN THE DARK.
LONDON, July 2.-Sir James Ferguson,
political secretary of the foreign office,
replying to Henry Labouchere (advanoed
hberall, one OF the members for Northanp-
ton, to-day, said that the gov
ernment had no information as
to stipulations OF the dreibund.
No doubt the Marquis di Rudini, the Italian
premier, had correctly described the ex-
change Of views which has taken place
between her majesty's government and
the italian government. Many measures
taken, he continued, in case 10
was found necessary to maintain
the status quo in the Mediterranean,
would be matter for consideration accord
ing to the circumstances at the time. The
employment Of British forces would depend
upon the estimate Of these circumstances
made by her najesty's government. In
conclusion Sir Ferguson said that the exist
ing understanding is not aimed at any par
ticular power.

PANAMA CANAL SCANDAL.
a BIG SENSATION May COME
FROM TIE INVESTIGATION.

The Leading French Financial Paper
Declares the Panama Affair the
Greatest Financial Scandal Of the
Century-A Charge That Slbscrip-
tions Were Secured on False Reprs-
eeltations,
PARIS, July 2.-The inquiry into the mall
administrati on of the Panama Canal Com
paay, which is now progressing, will
probably be of the most protractod and
comprehensive character, II it is really
meant to take it th ough. The Lesseps clique
is not now the mighty power 10 was, but 1t
has still wide influence in high political
quarters and throughout the press. OF course
Count de Lesseps declares that be courts
the inquiry and only fears that
II may be pronounced needless
He will probably get moro than
he or his colleagues may desire. French
publlcists, who have from the inception of
the canal criticised 1t as ruinous enrer-
prise, have taken up the cause of Count de
Lesseps' dupes once more and, under the
lead OF Leroy BeauIeu, are trying to bring
about genuine and exhaustive nvestigation.
AN INFLUENTIAL DENuNcIATIoN.
The soundest and most reputable financial
cGfse, has denounced the Panama affair as
'the greatest financial scandal of the nine
teeptn century" and demands trial of the
persons responsible for the absorption of
1,300000,000 francs, snatched from
the savings of small capitalists,
many OF whom have been Tuined,
and numbers Of whom are dead through
despair. No inquiry, 1t is declared, will be
satisfactory unless It goes back of the frst
attempt at raising capital in 1879. which,
ending in failure, was followed by a second
attempt in 1881, when subscription were
got on an allegation that q contract bad
been made with CouvreK and Hersent to
dig the canal throughout, under forfeit Of
800, 900, 900 francs
THE CONTRACT A MYTH.
This contract it is asserted, never existed,
though on the faith Of II subscriptions were
obtained. subsequent agreement with an
Anglo Dutch syndicate, on the existence of
which more capital was raised. Is also
alleged TO have had no sufficient
validity. In brief, series of agree
ments, on the faith of which
share capital was issued, are declared to
have been fictitious; many millions squan-
dered in bribing the press throughout
France to seduce by "fallacious statements"
small capitalists to invest; whilst millions
more were appropriated by leading members
of tho council of the administration having
community of interests with certain Of the
entrepreneurs. These straightfor ward and
specific charges may become the basis of
one OF the greatest trials Of modern times.

FARM AND GARDEN.
RESULTS REACHED IN SCIENTIFIC AGRI
CULTURAL EXPERIMENTS.
The Effect of Removing the Tassels OF
the Prolifcacy of Corn, as shown
mt Q the State Agricultural
Experiment Stations.

Experiments with strawberries,
made at the Ohio experiment station,
indicate that pollen bearing is an
exhaustive process, and that larger
yields of fruit, as n rule, may be ex-
pected from those varieties which pro-
duce pollen so sparing that small
proportion of other varieties producing
pollen abundcntly must be planted
with them in order to insure n full
crop, than from those which produce
sufficient pollen for Standardization.
The following very interesting and
valuable experiment on corn, made by
the experiment station of Cornell uni
versity, at Ithaca, NY, gives strong
support to this theory:
1t has been claimed that if the
tassels were removed from 1corn before
they have produced pollen, the strength
thus saved to the plant would be turned
to the ovaries and a larger amount of
grain be produced. TO test the effect
of this theory the following trial was
made during the past season.
r In the general corn field u plot of
forty-eight rows with fortv-two hills in
each row was selected for the expert
ment. From each alternate row the
tassels were removed as soon as they
appeared, and before any pollen had
fallen. The remaining rows were left
undisturbed.
The corn was Sibley's Pride of the
North, planted the last week in May in
hills, three feet six inches by three
feet eight inches, on dry gravelly,
moderately fertile soil.
On July 2l, the earliest tassels began
to make their appearance in the folds
of the upper leaves and were removed
as soon as they could be seen, and
before they were fully developed. A
slight pull was sufficient to break tn .
stalk just below the tassel and the
removal WAS easy and rapid.
On July p, the plot was gone over
again for the removal of such tassels
as had appeared since the previous
work, and at this time by far the greater
number of the tassels were removed.
On July %, when the plot was gone
over the third time, the effect of the
tasseling became apparent in the in
creased number of silks that were visi-
BILE on the rows from which the tassels
had been removed.
On the |, 1,00S tasseled hills there were
visible 59l silks; on the 1,00S untasseled.
1903 silks.
On August 4, the plot was gone over
the last time, but only n few tassels
were found on the very latest stalks.
The preponderance of visible silk on
the tasseled rows was still manifest,
there being ut this time 3,542 silks
visible on the tasseled rows, and 2,044
on the untasselcd rows,
The corn was allowed to stand with
out cutting until ripe.
On September 30, to October l., the
rows were cut and huske6, and the
stalks and ears weighed and counted
with the following results:
