The Allotment Question Under the
New Law Soon to be Settled.
WASHINGTON, May u.-Immediately
after the return Of the Presidential party
Postmaster-General Wanama1er will
take up for settlement the question of
allotments to be made to American steam
ship companies under the postal subsidy
law. The actual amount appropriated is
only 81, $4,000, but under an opinion of
Assistant Attorney-General Tyler, in
which it is said Attorney General Miller
concurs, the Postmaster General Will
enter into contracts for the extension of
the routes of existing lines to other ports,
for additional trips and for new steamers
OF the tirSt-claSS as mentioned in the Act
and Will also enter into contracts for the
establishment of new lines when the
offer IS made by responsible companies.
In making these contracts the COM
panies viii rely only upon the clause of
the Act which is construed as giving the
Postmaster-G General unlimited power to
sum appropriated. 1t is said that exist
ing companies are willing to take the
risk of not securing appropriations, rely
ing on a contract as enfOrcible in the

Plants and Seed for Those Who Wish
to Grow Them.
The Ramie Fiber Department of the
State Board of Agriculture has just
ordered 666 boxes of ramie plants that are
now growing. The plants are for free
distribution to farmers. Some 40S letters
have been received, so if any of the
readers of the RECORD UNION want to try
this plant and can irrigate the soil, they
can have the plants sent free of charge to
them.
The Southern Pacific Company have
kindly consented to carry plants free of
charge to any stations in this State. 1t is
understood that short report is to be fur
nished as to the proper kind of soil, and
how the plants grow during the season,
so that the society may make up report
to be published.
The United States Department Of Agri-
culture at Washington has sent 100
pounds of flax seed to the Fiber Culture
Department of the State Board of Agri-
culture in this city. They wish some
farmers TO plant the seed-say in lots of
five pounds each, and to bring the stalks
to the society. The latter VIII send it to
the California Cotton Mills, which will
manufacture the fiber and have it for ex-
hibitiOn during the State fair.

The Ants Jaw.

The grip of an ants jaw is retained
even after the body has been taken off
and nothing but the head remains. This
knowledge is possessed by a certain tribe
of Indians in Brazil, who put the ants to
a very peculiar use. When an Indian
gets cash cut in his hand, instead OF
having his hand sewed together, as is
done in this country, he procures five or
six large black ants, and, holding their
heads near the cash, they bring their
Jaws together in biting the flesh, thus
bringing the two sides of the cash to-
gether. The Indians pinch off the bodies
Of the ants, and leave their heads cling
ing TO the cash, which is held together
until the cash is perfectly healed.-Med-

Special to the RECoRD-UN1oN.


WASHINGTON, May u.-There will
probably be lively contest at the
Farmers Alliance Convention to be held
at Cincinnati on the 18th of this month.
The contest will be over the question OF
forming third party.
The Alliance leaders who are best
known by the public for their activity
and prominence in the movement are in
favor of forming a third party, but they
do not want the matter forced upon the
public too soon, and their influence will
be used to prevent the Cincinnati conven-
ton from taking any action which can be
construed as inaugurating the third party
movement before the national party is
ready for it.
Representative-elect Simpson says the
third party must be grown, not made;
that they are now planting, and that they
do not want to harvest too soon. lie
does not think that there will be third
party started at the Cincinnati conven-
ton, but thinks that the National Con-
vention, which meets at Washington in
February, will adopt a platform and
inaugurate a great third party move
ment.
In the organization of the next House
he supposed the Democrats might elect
Crisp Speaker, as he is q strong, we'll
balanced, brainy and conservative man.
AS to the Farmers Alliance members,
they would be said to act together. Their
number was not definitely known. but
there would be thirty-five or forty of
them. He thought they would demand
some concessions from the candidate they
supported, and if they could not get these
concessions, they would bolt the Demo-
cratic caucus. He thought it would
from Springer than from either Mills or
Crisp.
In response to a question about the
Sub Treasury plan, he said that he was
opposed to class legislation of any sort,
but to this plan he believed it to be neces-
Sary under the present conditions to adj
just things. Thus far there had been
much class legislation, and it had all been
in favor of other classes, to the detriment
of the farmers. OF course, what he would
prefer to see would be the abolition ofall
class legislation, but farmers had as
much right to legislation expressly for
their benefit as had any other class of
citizens. There must be something done,
he said, to place the farmers on an equal
footing with others in this matter. He
thought. that discussion of the Sub
Treasury plan was a good thing, and it
might be necessary to adopt it under the
present condition of things. In arguing
against it, he said the monOpolists had
exposed some weak neSSeS Oftheir own po-
sition for argument against the legisla-
ton proposed on one hand that was Just
as strong against that in operation on the
other.

Pullman Car Taxes.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE United
States Supreme Court to-day decided the
case involving the constitutionality and
validity of the law Of Pennsylvania tax
ing the Pullman Palace-Car Company on
basis proportionate to the number of
miles of railroad within the State over
which the company's cars run compared
with the total number of miles of rail-
road in the United States over which the
cars run. The court holds that this law
is constitutional and not in violation of
the interstate commerce law. The court
also decided in the same way case from
Massachusetts, involving practically the
same question, as applied to a line of the
Western Union Telegraph Company in
Massachusetts.
