A DEMAND ON Chilli.
Reparati0n Asked for the At.
tack on American Sailors.
Minister Egan Presents the Mat
ter to the Junta.

A cablegran from Santiago, Chill, SAWS:
The United Statss Government has, through
Minister ESan. formally demanded repara-
ton from the Government OF Chill fo- the
attack recently made in Valparaiso upon a
number OF the seamen OF the United States
cruiser Baltimore The demand is no infor-
NAL suggestion that thu Government
at Washington expects soma kind
OF satisfaction for the killing and
wounding of the Raltimore's sailors:
it Is a notice given in a friendly way, but
according TO direct orders received from the
State Department at Washington, that the
United States demands Immediate ex-
PLANTATION OF the whole affair and raparatiOn
for the iujuriesindicted. Up to the present
time the Junta has expressed no regret for
the attack made on the American sailors
Acting upon the instructions sent to him
from Washington Mr.. Egan presented the
Gillian Junta with detailed statement of
the results Of the investigation made by Cap
tain Schley, of the Baltimore. and by Mr..
Egan himself. These Investigations had
shown that Charles Riggan. one of the Balti-
more's petty officers, was brutally assaulted
by several Cnlhans while he was riding on
street-car. Rigzan resisted. but was
dragged from the car and murdered by
pistol shot. Turnbull, another of the Balti-
more's wounded men, who died a few days
afterward from his injuries, received no less
than eighteen stab wounds in the back, two
OF them penetrating his lungs.
After giving full list of the members Of
the Baltimores crew who were injured by
the mob Mr.. Egan's statement called at
teation to the fact that thirty-five of the
cruisers crew were on the day of the riots,
arrested, unnecessary violence being used by
the police, and that they were detained in
custody without due cause. In conclusion
Mr.. Eagan said that the surgeons of
the United States warship expressed the
opinion that some Of the injuries inflicted
upon the American sailors were bayonet
wounds, and that this clearly showed that
the police officers OF Valparaiso, who are
armed with bayonets, took part in the at
tack. The Americans were without arms,
and practically defence!ess.
Mr.. Egan, in presenting the Gillian Junta
with this statement Of the assault, ex-
pressed in distinct terms the feeling Of great
Indignation which the State Department at
Washi ngton feels at the whole affair, and
especially at the brutal conduct of the police
Of Valparaiso in joining with the mob in the
latter's attack upon the Baltimores
seamen, and in drawing their
bayonets and using them against
the unarmed Americans. Mr.. Egan also
particularly called attention to the addi-
tional brutality of the police Of Valparaiso
in using horses to drag the Americans to
prison. After making brief summary of
the facts to which he had been instructed to
call attention, Minister Eagan informed the
representatives Of the Junta that, in the
name of the United States, he demanded
reparation for the insults and injuries COM
planned Of.

The Woman. Christian Temperaace
Union Indorses the Gold Cure Tor
Drunkenness.
Miss Fran Q E Willard, President of the
Worlds an National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, recently drew down a
storm of criticism and adverse comment
upon herself and the organization she repre-
sents by announcing that the Kelley cure
for drunkenness and the opium habit was
being doomed" by the press for political
purposes. This statement was so manifestly
absurd that the leading journals of the
country at once denied it in editorials, Civ
ing as proof of its falseness a number of
cases of habitual inebriety which have TN
doubtedly been cured by the Kelley Bichlo-
ride Of Gold. Miss Willard, who is careful
to correct a mistake when she makes one, has
since investigated the Gold cure, and now
comes forward with letter publicly avow-
ing her faith in the Kelley cure, and declar-
ing her sympathy with the great work being
done by il. The Eastern branch of the
Kelley Institute at White Plains New York,
is coming to the front with most crafty
ing percentage of cures of drunkenness and
the drug habit Men who have freQuented
institutions for inebriates for years without
benefit are, almost without exception cured
of their disease at the White Plains Kelley
Institute, and after the three or four weeks
of treatment return to their families with
health fully restored aud ambitious TO re
deem the past. The medical profession
which was at first antagonistic to the Gold
cure, has been convinced of its effectiveness
by the good which has been done at White
Plains, and physicians throughout the East
ern States now send their patients to the
Institute. Drunkenness is undoubtedly a
disease, and in the Kelley Gold treatment a
remedy has at last been discovered. More
over the cure is effected without restraint or
physical pain, the treatment consisting of a
hypodermic injection of the Bichloride of
Gold, and also the remedy taken internally.
1t seems very simple way out of great
evil. The branch at White Plains Is under
the direct supervision of the parent house.
The treatment is identical with that admin

Relief Measures Taken by the Gov
eminent Rapidly Pushed.
The Russian Government is about to issue
an order prohibiting the Hebrews from en-
tering into contracts to supply the Govern
ment with spirituous liquors except for ex
port.
An official announcement is made that,
owing to the Government measures, the
winter sowing Of grain in the famine-strick.
en- districts has been affected to such an ex-
tent that there has been but little diminution
in the former area.
In many of the provinces, it is added. sum-
mer seeds have been bought with State
loans, and storehouses are to be esta blished
in the distressed districts, so that the peas
ants can there buy corn at less than the
original price.
In addition, the cattle of peasants are al
lowed to pasture on the State lands, and
finally the Government relief works will be
greatly increased in number and in capacity,
SO as to give employment to as many OF the
Misunderstanding people as possible.
Already the sum Of $17,0OO,0 900 has been
expended in eighteen provinces upon forest
labor alone.

CULTURE OF SOUR CHERRIES.

The culture of sour cherries has greatly
declined in the older sections of
America. The cause was the prevalence
of black knot. This disease has now
almost entirely disappeared, and there is
no reason why there should not again be
a great planting OF this most wholesome
fruit, says E. P. Powell. If only few
trees are set by scattered cultivators
there will be no fruit saved from the
birds. There should be a special move
ment on the part of nurserymen to en-
courage cherry planting. The sorts most
advantageous for the general grower,
covering all the Northern States, are the
Early Richmond, the Mayduke, the large
Montmorency, and common sour cherry,
from which the Richmond and the
Montmorency have been improved.
These are entirely hardy, and could well
be grown for their beauty in poisoning

riety. In few years distinct type will
be secured that will for long time re-
main constant, even when grown under
other conditions. The proper time to
commence this important work is not in
the early spring, but before the crop is
dug. 1t Is the best way to go over the
field, select the hills with the most Wig
orous vines, especially those that are
growing singly, the shorter aud more
stocky the better. Dig these before the
main crop is disturbed, and save such
only as produce the most potatoes to
plant, and such as are the most uniform
in size and shape, not those that yield the
largest tubers, but those that give the
greatest number of good, salable pota-
toes, and the least small or poor ones.
Vitality is an essential element in all
plants, as upon it depends productive
ness. When hill Is opened, if there is
q single potato that is not perfect, dis
card the whole. Each tuber should be
carefully examined az to form, color,
and shape, and, what is more important
still, see that it has clear, thick slSin.
This work although it may be tedious,
is profitable; it will take perhaps day
for farmer to secure sufficient for his
next years planting, but in return for
his labor he will get better seed than he
can buy for twice as much as his crop
sells for. If followed up for few years
in any given locality it will secure to the
grower a stock that will be far more pro-
ductive than any grown under other con-
ditions and in different localities. This
plan has been followed successfully by
some Of the best farmers in our country.
When the early Ohio potato was first in
PRODUCED, C2e of the most successful
farmers on Long Island, N. Y, convinced
of the great value Of this variety, COM
menced the work of systematic selection.
The result was variety or type Of far
greater productiveness, of more glob-
ular shape, and in every way much
superior potato. Not only that, but he
selected with view to earliness with
surprising results. What this man has
done others can and ought to do, and
there is no better time to commence than
the present.-Anaerican Agricu1turist.

DAIRYMEN SHOULD GROW PEAS.

Il New York farmer who handles a
large herd of cows writes that he has
spent from $500 to $500 year for sew
eral years past in the purchase of bran
and other grain feed for his COWS. Be-
ing a reader Of HoGrd's Dairynaan he was
greatly interested when that paper took
up the question of growing field peas as
substitute for bran. This the paper
did two yeas ago, but did the same work
more theoretically last winter. He had
always accepted the notion which pre-
vailed among the farmers of his neigbor-
hood that peas could not be successfully
grown. The Dairyndn took the ground
that this notion was a mistake; that the
difficulty with the average farmer was
that he did not understand how to grow
peas. In the field the pea roots deeply;
yet almost every farmer pays no atten-
ton to this law or principle, and sows
the peas broadcast, with oats maybe,
and harrows them in, rarely covering
them more than a quarter to half inch
deep.
The DGiryman further advised the
sowing Of peas more than ever, but in
sisted that the seed must be covered at
least two to four inches deep. This
can lie done with deep running grain
drill when the soil is in good filth, but
where the farmer has no drill he can do
the work just as we'll by blowing the
seed under not to exceed the depth of
four inches. The New York farmer
says he tried the latter plan. His neigh
bors all ridiculed him for trying some
book farming notion, but the peas are
looking the finest ever seen in that sec
ton. 1t will prove great blessing to
dairy farmers if they ever get in the
way of growing an abundance of peas
for the use Of their COWS. Two pounds
Of pea meal is considered nearly the
equivalent Of six pounds of ordinary
bran. A good crop will produce 5000
pounds of pea meal to the acre. Further
comment is unnecessary.-NeO Orleans
Ne1o Delta.

SAVING SEED POTATOES.

There is principle in seed saving
that applies to potatoes as we'll as to
other plants. This principle is selection,
and selection means choice in all that
relates to crop, no matter what it may
be. 1t is essential in its relation to
earliness, quality, and productiveness.
1t is well-known fact that any veg
etable grown in given locality will, if
proper attention is paid to the saving of
seed, and, by selecting the best plants
1'r the purpose, gradually improve in all
points that so to make up a choice va

DUCKS AS MOTHERS.

A correspondent of Land and Water
thinks that it is better to let ducks hatch
their own eggs than to set them under
hens. He says:
II know it is a popular belief that
ducks are careless and Indifferent moth
ers, so far that custom prevails with
keepers of setting ducks eggs under
hens. | think both this principle and
this practice are wrong. The only adj
vantage that hen mothers have over
ducks is that they arc ready to set earlier
in the year. Apart from that 1 believe
there is not any advantage in such a
custom. From my own observation
can say that hens kill many more young
ducks than duck mothers do. Naturally
the feet of a hen are not calculated for
treading about among little things which
slide and struggle along the ground.
Her chickens can jump and spring out
of the way of her feet; but [ have fire.
Quently seen a hen stand with her great
outspread toes uE on the back of young
duckling who was vainly striving to get
from under it, the hen all the while
reaching after something to eat, appar-
emily unconscious that she was slaughter
ing her pseudo offspring. A ducks
feet are all one, are flat and splay, and
she shufiles about without lifting them
much from the ground. I do not re-
member ducklings being ever trod upon,
or, as the people about here say,
'squabbled' by duck mother"

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
ovERFEEDlNG FOWLS.

When fowls have food always before
them they are overfed, and they become
too fat. They will lay eggs in this con-
dition, but are apt to be taken by ap-
oplexy and die on the nest or fail sud-
denly and die in a few minutes. The
remedy is to give only as much food as
they really need For dozen hens this
is one quart of grain per day, and with
what other food they will pick up on a
good range, and some finely broken
bones, they will live to a good and
profitable old age.-Neso York Times.
