TIVE Manufacturers Rec

The Manufacturers Record
has established an Office in Lon
don, having recently sent over
a member Of its staff for that
purpose. This step is brought
about by the continued growth
of British interests in Southern
investments and the consequent
expansion of the circulation and
influence of the Manufacturers
Record in Great Britain. By
means of its London connection
English investors will be kept
more thoroughly informed as TO
the resources, the investment
opportunities, and the progress
of development, in the South,
will be enabled TO keep in touch
with financial London. Eng.
lish investors and financiers on
the one hand, and owners OF
Southern properties and the pro
| iectors of Southern undertake
ings on the other, will be
brought into closer contact and
made better acquainted.

A Band of Boy Brigands.

An amusing instance of the contag1on
of example has recently been afforded
by case in the Berlin police court re-
ports. The outrage on the Turkish rail-
way and the stories of brigands which
have lately filed our newspapers seem
to have acted on the imagination of two
boys named Oscar Scheffner and George
May. They determined to become BAN
dts, and they prevailed on several Of
their schoolfellows to join them. TIE
average age of the band was thirteen.
They inaugurated their defianls of the
law by boldly playing truant, and then
they took refuge in the wilds of the
Grunewald, where, in true brigand fash
ion, they hid themselves.
After night passed in this fashion
they felt the pangs of hunger, and con
sequently they sailed forth at an early
hour and seized the milk cans and bas-
kets of new rolls which had been left at
the doors of the neighboring villas.
This, however, they thought was scarce
ly heroic, and their next step was to gar
rote an old gentleman who was taking a
morning stroll in the park. Somehow
or other the Berlin police got wind of
the affair, and the Juvenile bandits were
seized. They are now languishing in
grewsome dungeons, where, by means
of cane administered at intervals, it is
hoped that they may be made aware of
the historic fact that in northern Eu-
rope brigandage is an anachronism.

THE COLOR LINE.

PHILADELPHIA, August % AT the
session of the national convention of the
Patriotic Order of Sons of America the
question of admitting colored members
into the order consumed the entire morn
ing. A number of ballots was taken, but
each resulted the same-fifty-nine in favor
of the admittance of colored members and
thirtv-one against it. Most of the opposi-
tion to the elimination of tho word
white" from the constitution comes from
the Illinois and Ohio delegates, who voted
as a unit against il. Four-fifths OF the
vote of the entire convention is necessary
to make any alterationsin the constitution
of the order.
Common Councillor Gibson, of Washing
ton camp this city, composed of colored
men, was accorded the privilege of the
floor and for an hour made powerful and
eloquent appeal for the recognition of his
race. The sentiment of the convention
was strongly in favor of admission, the
Pennsylvania delegation being unani-
nous in the colored mans favor; but an
arbitrary clause in the constitution, re-
quiring four fifths vote to annul or
change the constitution, enabled It's oppo-
nents to defeat the measure. Prominent
among those who spoke eloquently in favor
of the colored mans admission were j. III
Williams, Colorado; Col. Robertson, Hi
nois, and eX-Congressman Brum of
Schuylkill county, and against this admis-
sion, DR.. E. 2. Murdock, of Chicago, and
j. A. kilton, of Colorado.
At the evening session a motion to re-
consider the question of admitting the
colored men was lost The tabling OF the
motion without a vote was the work of
the members in favor of admitting the
colored members, who, by this device, left
the question still open. The question will
probably be called up again tomorrow.
The following nominations for officers
were made: National president. George p
Smith, Colorado, and G. T. Hutton, Penn

ALLIANCE PuGIlISTS.

NEW ORLEANS. August 26-The Times
Democrats Durant, Miss, special says;
w. S. McAllister, ex-Alliance lecturer, and
DR.. G. w. MacCuns, editor of the national
Alliance organ, of Washington, arrived
here this evening from Starkville. In the
hotel corridor McAllister, after considera-
BILE worry in endeavoring TO provoke a
quarrel with MacCune, finally struck him
two or three heavy blows about the face,
daZing the doctor so badly that he scarcely
made any defense before they
were separated. McAllister claims that
MacCune had a great deal to do with
the summary treatment meted out to
him by the Alliance today by which it got
around in the secret caucus of Alliance
members that he (McAlister) was bought
up by Wall street and was exerting his in
fuence to destroy the Alliance. MoAlister
stated that MacCune had sold out to Pat
Calhoun last year in the Georgia senatorial
contest for q, co., and that MacCune had
robbed the Texas Alliance of $50, 900 or
more while manager of the Texas Alli-
ance exchange.

ALOADEO WAGON.

FINDLAY. o., August pa wagon load
ed with nitro-glycerine was being driven
through the town of Van Buren, near here,
yesterday, when one of the wheels came
off and allowed that corner of the wagon
to drop down The driver, after a half
hours solicitation, succeeded in inducing
two men to help him lift the axle up to
put on the wheel They procured rail
and had the axle about half way up when
the rail broke and it fell down again. The
helpers as we'll as the spectators who stood
afar off, fed and for the next hour the
driver was the only fellow within a radius
of half mile The inhabitants gradually
overcame their fright when they realized
that no explosion had occurred, and one at
a time came back The driver finally got
two other men to help him and succeeded
in getting the wheel on. He at once drove
out of town, and the denizens of that burg
began to breathe easier.

vapdaIs in the AdiroDdack.

Visitors from the Chateaugay lakes,
Adirondacks, says that the glory of that
region of trout and deer has departed.
Notwithstanding the liberal stocking
that has been done every year, the trout
are small and scarce. The miners use
giant powder in the spring holes and on
the spawning beds, and the hotel keep
ers are afraid to complain. In addition
to this, many of the residents go up the
side streams and catch fngerlings by the
hundred. This is always fatal 10 good
fishing. AS long as the little fish are
left undisturbed, the stock is kept up;
but going up the little brooks and fishing
them out is killing the goose that lays
the golden egg.-Forest and Stream.

THE WHEAT STRAW WORM.

LAWRENCE, Kan, August 26.-In June
last there was great alarm in central and
western Kansas over the threatened de-
strUction Of the wheat by the wheat straw
worm. During the SUMMER Chancellor
Snow received reports Of the depredatious
of the worm from fifteen different counties
of the state, and at once set to work to eX-
pertinent with 1t. Prof Kellogg, who has
been carrying on the experiments in the
absence of Chancellor Snow, gives the re
suits of his work in the following state
ment:
The worm seemed TO be more generally
distributed over Kansas than for many
years heretofore and considerable damage
was done by it to the wheat. However,
the damage was not as large as seemed inn
minent, and the reason for this is TO be
found in the fact that an insect parasite a
minute four-winged fly, has been making
a still fight on the straw worm Speci-
mems of infected wheat straws, together
with some small insects coming from the
straws, sent to the university by Mr.. n. A
Andreas, a prominent wheat raiser Of
Rush county, proves that while Mr.
Andreas' wheat was badly infected by the
straw worm. yet the straw worm is badly
infected by the parasite hy.
'An adult fly has been bred from the
straws sent to the university and proves TO
be a parasite first described and named by
Professor French in 1883, and since recog-
nized as parasite on the wheat straw
worm in Illinois by Professor Forbes The
fly s Latin name is cupelmus allyni, and il
Is shiny black with yellow legs and four
clear wings. This fly lays its eggs in the
straw worms (lsrva) and the larva of the
cupelmus, after Matching, lives on and in
the straw worm, causing death TO the
latter. 1t vhs due, then. 10 the work of
this little yellow legged fly that the wheat
IN the central part OF the state escaped as
well As 1t did.
The work Of combating the wheat
straw worm naturally includes, as one
feature, the assisting of the cupelmus TO
favorable life conditions. Fortunately the
straw worm remains IN the larval form in
the straws from May until October and in
the pupal form all winter while his little
enemv, the parasite, develops and emerges
as an adult in July and August, so that
burning the wheat stubble after September
will not only destroy most of the straw
worms In the wheat, but will not injure |
the already escaped parasites, who VIII |
take care of the few straw worms which
escaped the burning. The burning Of the /
straw, then, should be postponed until |
September or October, so that the parasite /
may be assisted IN his excellent work of /
destruction. II the straw or stubble is |
burned too early the parasite Will also be /
destroyed. 1t Is safe TO do the burning at |
Any time after the first OF Seatember.

FOREIGN TRADE AND IMMIGRATION.

WASHINGTON, August 26-The bureau
OF statistics has issued its monthly state
nent of foreign commerce and 1mmlgra-
ton for the mouth of July and for the
previous six months of the current year.
1t shows that the exports during July
were of the value of S62, 654, l29, or S5,209-,
297 in excess of the same month last year.
During the seven months since January l
the value of the exports OF MERCHANDISE
has been s452 OBS, $50 or s35, 167. $50 in excess
OF the same months year ago.
The imports of merchandise during
July amounted to S66, 3ES 657. or decrease
Of S11, ,2l9, ,647 from that of July one year
ago. During the seven months from an
uary the imports have been OF the value
of S49S 9s4, 113. or an increase of $40, ,297, 227
over the corresponding months of last
year. 1t will be seen that the increase OF
exports is much larger than the increase
of imports by about S25, ,000,0 900. which is a
healthy indication.
The exports of gold and silver during
the month of July were much less than
during the same month one year ago. The
exports of gold in July amounted to S6,-
Co., ,674, or S., l9s, 355 less than they were in
July, 1890. The imports of gold were also
less during the month Of July by Sl65, ,996
The exports of silver in July were valued
at 81, $50, 1874 or ST, IA, ,613 less than during
the same mouth in 1890. The imports OF
silver were S6l9,16 greater than during
July year ago.
The number of immigrants who arrived
in the United States during July was 46, ,O9l,
an increase over July, 1890. of 1884. Since
Jan. the number of immigrants who
entered American ports was 81, 1893, an in
crease over the corresponding month of
last year of 1864 The largest number
came from Russia, 957O Russians having
come to this country in July; Germany

over July, $780, except Italy and England.

Argentine Frenchmen in Want.

The grant of the French government
of 100000 francs toward the expense of
bringing distressed French emigrants in
the Argentine Republic back to France
is sufficiently significant Of the mex
pediency of emigration to that country
at this time. Mr.. Herbert, British secre-
tary of legation at Buenos Ayres, is
clearly at one with the French authori-
ties on this point, for he expresses a hope
that the flow thither of British emigra-
ton may cease for the present.
The British colonist adds to other causes
of failure a special difficulty in acquir-
ing The language of the people. His COM

THE COTTON TRUST.

COLUMBIA, S. c., August 26.-The
scheme formulated in this city to save the
present cotton crop from sacrifice at the
prevailing low price by organizing farmers
trust companies throughout the cotton
belt to hold in trust for twelve months
one third of the crop made by each farmer
and thus raise the price, is already meet
ing with the approval of planters in other
states.
A special meeting of the Richland Coun-
ty Alliance was held in this city, at which
the trust scheme was unanimously in
dorsed and arrangements were perfected
to organize the first trust Immediately.
Mass meetings Of farmers in every county
in the state will be called next week TO
take similar action. The president of the
state Alliance was formally requested to
communicate with the presidents of all the
state Alliances in the cotton belt with the
view of bringing the plan to a speedy
execution.
A resolution was adopted by which the
members of the Alliance pledged them
selves in writing to reduce the cotton acre
age by one-half next year.
