will leave the questions that Mr..
Farwell asks Up. 773) about fall plow-
ing and potato growing for Mr.. Ter
ry to answer, and will speak of rota-
ton. Mr.. FPS question about seed
ing clover after oats is not quite clear,
as it would be too late to sow clover
after the oats were cut. | have not
found clover nearly so likely to give
a good stand when sown with oats
as with rye or wheat, for while the
seed-bed is better, and the clover is
more likely to come up, the oats
make so much shade and such de-
mands on the moisture, that if dry
weather comes the clover is often
killed; or if there is still good stand
at harvest, it is so tender from the
dense shading that often it cannot
endure the not sun, and is killed out
entirely. / have never known this
to happen with clover sown with
wheat or rye. Oats having also a
softer straw, are much more likely
to lodge than the winter grains, and
lodging usually smOthers out the
Young clover. | believe that when
the oats are drilled, the clover is
more likely to grow strong enough
to withstand the hot sun and so
when clover is to be sown with oats,
would recommend that they be
drilled. Four quarts of clover seed
to the acre is less than | should sow,
although on rich land with a good
seed-bed it might give good stand
but as a rule, six or seven quarts is
safer and better. If you get stand
of clover with your oats, you are al
/, right for three years. rotation; bu'
if you fail, you can pillow the oat stub
BILE and seed to wheat or rye, and try
again.
Our object in following a rotation
: is to keep the land clean by grow
ing clover so thick as to keep dow
, weeds, to get vegetable matter o
r humus into the soil, and to improv

3 Without question, clover is the hes

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20.-Secre-
tary Foster has received another tele-
gram from Representative BouteIle in
regard to the seizure of American fish
inc vessels near Eastport, Me-, by Do
minion steamer last Thursday.
Mr.. Boutelle intimates that some Of
the seizures were made in American
waters, and suggests that revenue cut
ter be sent to PASSPORT for the better
protection of American fishermen in
that vicinity.
As the question is an international
one Secretary Foster has referred all the

subject to the State Department for
such action as may be deemed necessa-
~. He said, however, that a revenue
vessel will be supplied if needed.

The Tragedian Becomes tho Victim of
BIackmailers.
NEW YoRK, July 2O.-Edwin Booth,
the distinguished actor, it is reported,
has been the object of conspiracy to
obtain money from him. Generally the
rumor is that disreputable newspaper
man and a person connected with the
stage had for years In their pos
session a document relating to an in
cident in Mr.. Booths family, but of
which Mr.. Booth was not aware until
informed by the conspirators, and for
which he was in no wise responsible,
and that they had used this knowledge
to blackmail him. The story goes to
say that Mr.. Booth had been harassed
by these men, that their persecution
had even affected his brain, and that
this. the breakdown of his mental
powers, was the primary cause of his re-
tirement from the stage.
The late Lawrence Barrett, 1t was
said, had interposed between the sup
posed nspirators and his friend. Mr..
Barrett did not believe the story which
these men said they had to tell, and ar
gued that all probabilities and possibiIi-
ties were against its truth. Never
theless, rather than see his colleague
ana friend put TO the trouble
and annoyance Of coming out In
public and denying allegations, Barrett
paid them to discontinue their annoy
ance. When, however, Barrett died the
alleged blackmailers, So it is said, began
once more to annoy their victim. Mr..
Booth had been i'll sune time before his
colleagues death. but the latter's sud-
den taking away was an additional
shock to his nervous system, and he was
forced to retire from the stage.
In this condition he was an easy prev
to the alleged conspirators. One of his
remaining stanchest friends was his
brother actor, Joseph Jefferson. Mr..
Jefferson has magnificent summer res
idence at Buzzard's Bay, Mass, in the
region of Cape Cod. Hither Mr.. Jeffer-
son invited his friend. and here the sick
man is secure from all intruders.

and with which she started the Prin-
cess Theater, was given to her by

names of these very generous individ-
uals, but, upon compulsion, agreed to
write them out for the information of

upon reading them concluded not to

ment made yesterday that Mr. Parnell

rienced in serving the bankruptcy or
