that for years we have been selling
DIR. Kings New Discovery for con-
sumption, DR.. Kings New Life Pills,

Eighty thousand persons are on the
verge of starvation in Berlin. In the
western part of the United States
grain,is lying useless in barns, and
men are going out of the cattle bust
ness, because the transportation OF
these food products costs more than
the prices they bring. Meantime the
railroads are not getting rich, but are
nearly all heavily embarrassed finan'
cially. There is awful mismanage'

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes Some writers on
strawberry culture seem TO convey the
idea that to DO profitable, new beds
must be planted every year. This
may be the case in field culture on a
large scale. But to many it is, dis
couraging to think the ground must
be occupied and carefully cultivated
for two seasons to get one crop only.
My experience Of many years on a
small scale Ia the reverse, and cannot
see why the area could not be in
creased with the same result.
Any good, fertile soil can be well
MANFRED, plowed and narrowed in the
spring, and planted with extra early
potatoes or peas, which can be got of
by the last of July. Without any
additional manure, the ground can be
plowed, narrowed, leveled and planted
during the first two weeks in August,
with,strong, stocky strawberry plants,
16 inches apart, III rows Is inches
apart, with 80 inches between every
fourth row for q path for picking.
These plaats, IL properly set out, kept
free from weeds and all runners cut,
will yield good paying crop in June
and with favorable season and the
weeds kept down, 4 paying crop may
be got the third season, but the ber-
ries will be smaller.
In order 70 get strong plants, place
four or five Of the first runners from
each one-year-old plant, and lay
small stone on the vine to keep it in
place until rooted. Keep all other
runners cut of. The plants will be
ready to set out the first week in
August. They will be better than
any that can be bought, and will give
as COOP a crop in June as the much
advertised y pot-bound, pot-grown
plants.
BY using steel-tined prong hoe be-
tween the rows and plants, as often as
necessary, they can be kept free from
weeds as easily as crop of any vege-
table growth in rows. A good coat OF
fine horse manure should be scattered
between the plants Just before frost,
and the whole bed covered very
lightly with,evergreen boughs, leaves
or brush, or cornstalks, after ie
ground is frozen.
AS my plants get to be II to 10
inches in diameter before the fruit is
ripe, l do not find it necessary to
mulch them, the plants nearly cover
ing the ground. Crescent Seeding,
with few Sharples to fertilize them,
has proved the best with me. Any
variety OF feeble growth and able to
sunburn will do as we'll in single
rows. 1 can get more quarts of good
berries with less labor from the same
area of single plants than by the mat
ted row system. If bed gets foul
with grass and weeds, it is easier to
plant a new one than to weed it out.
To insure good supply of fruit
every year, one or more. new beds
should be set out each August. Be-
ginners having no plants to propagate
from, must buy few good plants and
set them out early in the spring.
With good care, and allowing no fruit
to form, or more than one-half the
runners to take root, the rest being
cut off, supply Of plants will be
ready to set in August.

HARDSHIP AND TORTURE.
Investigation of Charges of Cruel Treatment
of Negro Laborers.

BALTIMORE, July ia dstressed-look-
ing crowd Of negroes were before United
States Commissioner Rogers yesterday TO
testify to the cruel treatment they had re-
ceived on the Nayassa Phosphate Com
pany's island. William Henry Harrison
was the first witness. He told a terrible
story of hardship and torture. While load
ing stores ship-bOlt struck his wrist, dis
abling him, and while his wrist was so
swollen that he could hardly get his shirt
off the said lie was sent TO shovel dirt, but
Stamford, one of the bosses. sent him to Jail
and said he did not care IL his hand rotted
off. While in this cond ton he said he was
put in the stocks and triced up for four days.
He got nothing but bread and water and
then was sent to the hospital. where they
charged him 81 day.
John White, John Hall, Charles Read and
John Harrison gave testimony, each about
the same, except as to the length of time
the punishment lasted. 1t averaged, they
said, from two and half to six hours each,
and, besides foul food, the treatment, they
alleged, WAS barbarOus in the extreme and
was imposed for the most trivial offenses.
The written testimony OF the colored la
borers was sent to-day to Attorney General
Miller, at Washington. No action will be
taken by the United States authorities until
the Executive is heard from. Unless some
thing is done by the President the courts
here will probably take the matter up and
warrants may be sworn out by some of the
negroes against the Overseer of the island
ard his deputies.

The POSt0fiGe Department Preparing the

The Impetus to Be Given to American
Mail Steamship LineS-NeW Routes
to Be Inausurated.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Tne formal no.
tice of the Postoffice Department inviting
proposals for carrying the ocean mail was
issued to-day. 1t cites act of March 8, 1891,
and is unusually explicit, because the act of
Congress requires that the advertising of
the route must be set forth in full. Propo-
sails are invited from the steamship compa-
nies for carrying the American m ails to for
eign countries in vessels of American
build and of the highest speed in
their respective classes over routes mir utely
described. The advertisement is the prod
uct of three months of conference at the
department.
Provision has been made to secure cheaper
service, reducing the time by one-fourth to
Panama, and as much as six days between
Panama and San Francisco. The service
between New York and Brazil is to be re-
duced to nineteen days instead Of twenty
five days and upward, as now. This new
service, in connection with the enlargement
of the old, will require the building of a
number of ships with an aggregate tonnage
Of 1884, 900 tons and a probable cost of from
S27.c0O,000 to S30,000,000 1t is hoped that
other lines projected will invite still further
investment of capital. Newport News or
Norfolk has been chosen as the best point
for the upper southern coast, and Port
Tampa, starting at Mobile, New Orleans
and Galveston, as the best point for the
lower southern coast. While small part
of the service can be put on Immediately, it
will require the whole term of three years
to put on many of the larger ships. Three
years Is the limit prescribed by the law.
The most Important requirements are
that only American-bullt steamships. con-
structed after the latest types ana with all
modern appliances, shall be employed, and
they must be owned and officered By Ameri-
can citizens. and their crews must contain
certain proportion of American citizens.
The use of these steamers as Government
transports or cruisers upon payment to the
owners of the fair actual value of same
is stipulated Proposals will be received
until 3 o'clock October IS, 1891. The con-
tracts are for ten years.

HAYlIAN REVOLT.
4 Manifesto Issued Against President
HyppOlite.

NEW YORK, July 15.-The steamship Alice
arrived to-day from Jamaica. The purser
states that every thing in Hayti bids fair for
general uprising. Legitime, who is in
exile at Kingston. has started an agent for
New York TO purchase vessels and NUM-
tions of war, which will lie secretly shipped
to the seat of the trouble. The other
steamer officers concur in the opinion that
the people down there are so desperate that
war may come at any moment.
Additional news from Hayti is that an
outbreak Is imminent, and HyPpollte is said
to be killing off his opponents right and left,
and many are fleeing from the country. The
Haytian refugees met in General Assembly
on June Goth and elected General An
seine Prophete, Commander in Chief
of their entire forces. Prophete has
issued an address to the people of Hayti
saying: General Hvppolite's long re-
strained ferocity has just burst upon the
people in such terrible fashion that silence

ters to-day with his despotic hand those of
his friends whom he cannot sell. Tocsin at

sounds all over the territory of the Republic

There is nothing but danger in 1t for me,
but there is also starvation for ms mourn
