Dragging After Flowing.

In all cases where the land is plowed
IN summer drag or harrow should fol-
low closely after the pillow to smooth the
surface. Early in s pring an excess of
moisture in the soil is common. and
then to have rough burrows to dry out
the supert1uous moisture more quickly
Is an advantage. But even then har-
rowing the burrows down should be done
before they get very dry. In summer,
where sod especially is plowed under,
the heated air under the furrow often
Tretards fermentation, and if the plowed
land is left long without dragging it NAV
become too dry for seeds to terminate in

INTO smooth surface, because il does
not give bulk enough to spread it out. so

City Has Known for Years.

PIrrsBuRGH, Pa, May G.-The Seventh
street Ere is still burning. but the
flames are under control and no further
damage is apprehended. AT noon eight
streams of water were poured into the
ruins OF over half million dollars worth
Of property. The fire was the most ex.
tensiye in this city in many years.
From Seventh street to Eighth and from
Pennsylvania avenue TO the rear Of the
Pittsburgh Female College, which ex.
tends almost to Duquesne Way, are
smoking ruins and Crumbling walls.
Tie streets in the vicinity are entirely
impossible, for vehicles, bricks, fallen
trees aud telegraph poles and blackened
timbers complete, y fill them. Telephone
and electric light wires lie around Ia
dangerous profusion. Linemen and re-
pairmen were busy trying to clear away
the wreck. During the FIRE last night
several firemen were shocked by the
electric current following the stream to
the ground, but no one was seriously
idjured. The origin Of the fire Is still q
mystery. It started in the cellar Of the
Grocers' Supply and Storage Company,
on Seventh street, and spread 80 rapid.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, May G.-Lsst night
United States Marshal Gard seized the
Chilean steamer Etata. now receiving
supplies in the harbor, and placed
Capt. Mauzeum under arrest. Tsls-
grams have been passing between this
city and the Department at Washing
ton which brought about the above re-
suits. Tug boats have left 10 seize the
two vessels seen outside, one Of which
is supposed 10 be the schooner Robert
and Minnie, and the other warship
belonging to the insurgents, which have
been hovering around the entrance to
the harbor to receive the supplies taken
on board the Etata. The warship was
first sighted about noon yesterday pGss-
ing north. Ten hours later she re-
passed tho harbor going south, laying to
Just north OF the Coronado Islands.
Customs Officer Berry sent party out
to investigate, who reported seeing q
large vessel under steam, which they
could not approach nearer thPn two
miles on account OF her steamtng away
from them. Orders were received from
Secretary Blaine to sieEs both vessels, II
found within the three-mile limit, and
Marshal Gard and Collector Berry went
out last night in different tugs for that
purpose. 1t midnight last night the
Etata received forty head OF cattle,
twenty-five head OF sheep and 5000
pounds OF dressed meat from the ferry
boat Coronado. The vessel has also re-
ceived other stores, including 500 tons Of
coal. As soon as all the provisions and
fuel were on board she expected 10 leave
the harbor and cruise between here and
Catalina, TO meet the schooners Robert
and Minnie, from which she was to take
the Remington rifles and ammunition.
She was to ssil last evening.
Early this morning the vessel Robert
and Minnie was sighted lying oil San
Diego harbor, in Mexican waters. The
selling party returned without making
any attempt to seize her, and now are
awaiting orders from the Attorney Gen.

KANSAS Orr, Mo-, May 6.-The twen-

Young Mems Christian Association con-

A Committee on Permanent 0rgapiza-

very interesting paper was read by @. s.
Holt, of Chicago, on the snares in the
path of young men Of to-day; doubt,
licentiousness, intemperance, gambling

The report OF the International Com

evening session. The report, which is
very exhaustive, among other things
contains the following subjects OF inter.

The Association owns buildings and
other real estate to the value Of over
si2,250,000. The total indebtedness Is
less than S2,500000. One thousand and
eighty.three persons are engaged as gen.
eral secretaries and other paid officers.
40 reading rooms and 640 libraries, con.
tanning almost 100000 books, are re-
ported. The total membership Is 225,-

that part OF the report in regard to the

resolution considers that its field for
work in mission lands is now open, and

suggested by some OF the Associations is
looked upon with alarm. Upon this
