To show how well understood are the

said that IL all our present cereals were swept
out Of existence our experiment. stations couiu

LIBERALIZATION. New vegetables may be reason
ably expected from Japan, that country whlcn
has already sent US many choice plants IN All
departments, and it is likely that some OF our
present vegetables which are now muen neg
Iscted will come into greater favor and be I'M
proved.
The fruits Of the future will tend more and
more toward becoming seedless, Just as pine
apples, bananas and some oranges are now.
There IL no good reason why we should not

The useful cabinet woods and timbers, the

taken up in order and the possible improve

that synthetic chemistry will add to Its
triumphs many more products to those formed
BY plants. and this viii diminish the zeal with
which some Of our economic plants Will be
cultivated. The coming fashions in florists
plants are to be in the direction OF towering
branches and dwarfed plants, such as dwarfed
cherries and magnolias. The old favorites will
largely keep their places.
Forage plants for our deserts were discussed
and reference was made to the danger of intro
ducing pests from foreign countries. An ex-
ample of this danger is afforded by sweetbriar

Improvement in plants is now carried on in a
1udicious manner by the Agricultural Depart
ment and by the experiment stations. But
there is also needed series Of gardens in diff
ferent parts Of our country where experiments
can be carried on in a thorough manner in
bybridizing and selection. The Arnold arbore-
tum AMI the shaw garden were spoken of as
good illustrations of what is needed, but the
deslrability of establishing an institution on a
scale Commensurate with the wants Of our
country was pointed out and the view was ex-
pressed that such an establishment should not
be governmental or academic.

The Prince Won't Be on Hand If the
Emperor Visits England.
LONDON. June 19-The position Of the
Prince Of Wales is becoming more and more
compromised by complications growing out
Of the famous Tranby Croft card party.
The young German emperor having taken
the liberty Of lecturing his uncle on his con-
duct in that affair, the breach between
the two has been re-opened and may
lead to the postponement, IL not
abandonment OF the emperor's visit TO Eng
land. Should, however, the emperor per-
sist IN his visit, he will, In ali probability
not find the Prince of Wales to welcome him
when his fleet arrives of Sheerness, and for
similar reasons he will not be accompanied
on his visit by the prince. whose absence,
however, will be more than made up by the
presence of the queen.

CATCHING OF SEALS.
The Commercial Company Protests
Against the Restriction.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The North
American Commercial Company, by its at
torney, to-day fled with the acting Secre-
tary of the Treasury protest against the
action Of the United States government
in preventing that company from
taking the number of seals stipulated
in its contract. The company presents a
claim for $400, 900 loss sustained by reason
of being compelled to stop the taking of
seals on July 20 of last year, when one-thlrd
OF the contract number of seals had been
taken. The company also gives notice that
it will claim from the United States reim-
bursement for the loss sustained
during the year 1891 through the operation
of the modus vivendi with England recently
promulgated by the President. An addi-
tional claim Of $l50,000 is presented for ex-
penditures which the company has made in
providing for the maintenance and educa-
tion of the islanders of st. George and St.
Paul, which expenditures were imposed
upon the company under the terms of its
contract with the United States.
A POINT RAISED.
The protest concludes with this para
graph: IF it may be assumed, as England
has asserted and this government has de-
MED, that the eastern portion Of Bering sea
is not q marine territory of the United
States, but is high seas,' the company re-
spectfully submits that it Is not competent
for Great Britain and the United States
alone, or for any other two
governments to determine who shall
be permitted to navigate these waters or to
prohibit fishing or taxing seals on the high
seas; and the company respectfully points
out to the honorable Secretary of the Treas
ury that its rights have been overlooked by
said agreement between the two govern-
ments, In that it deprives the
which 1t is authorized to take
by law and its contract with the United
States, thereby infltciing a severe loss upon
said company in order TO obtain the con-
sent of England 10 arbitrate the question
as to the right of Canadian poachers to de-
stroy the seal industry by pelagio sealing.

treasurer's statement issued to-day, but
bearing date June II, shows an apparent
deficiency of $7S7, 10S. This, however, does

the secretary's Office say that exclusive of
national bank deposits and fractional silver
there is an actual available balance of
81, 900 in the treasury to-day, and that
the treasurer's statement, including receipts
to that date. will show it. There win be a
constant excess of receipts over the ex-
penditures during the remainder of the

plus will be at least $7,0O0,000 by July 1.
The treasury officials are not disturbed by
the situation, and say that the government
is amply able TO meet all its obligations.
