FAIR TRADE IN ENGLAND.
A Proposition to Tax American Grain and
to Admit Canada's Free.

to Admit Canada's Free.
LONDON, June 23.-The Empire Trade
League held a conference to-day. The
Right Hon. James Lawther, who represents
the Isle of Thanet division of Kent in the
House of Commons, presided. He said that
Lord Salisbury sympathized with the de-
sire of the league that preferential rates
be established, but he wanted the con-
stituencies educated before undertaking to
legislate on the matter. Mr.. Lawther said
that in his Hastings speech Lord Salisbury
had shown that he no longer ignored the
essential elements of the commercial situa-
tion in Great Britain.
Though Loru Salisbury did not precisely
indorse the fair trade PRINCIPLES the League
advocated, he said in his Hastings speech
enough to show that he did not entertain
the narrow prejudices with which the sub
ject was too frequently surrounded in min
isterial utterances. Sir Charles Upper,
Canadian High Commissioner to England,
urged that the Government should place
duty of 5 shillings per quarter on American
grain and that Canadian wheat should be ad-
mitted free. The agents general of the
Australian colonies, New Zealand and the
Cape of Good Hope. spoke in favor of the
establishment of preferential duties.

Murderer's Strange EXPLANATION

A Catholic Hospital sister Receives q
Mortal Stab From an Italian Patient
She Is Young, Beautiful and Good-The
Murderer's Strange Explanation.
READING, June 23.-TSpecia,. ]-St. jos
eph's Hospital, Catholic institution of
prominence in this city. was the scene of a
horrible murder this afternoon. At about
3 o'clock the inmates and attaches of the
hospital on the ground floor were startled
BY shrill scream of murder" Looking
toward the kitchen they saw an Italian
stabbing black-robed sister who had Just
descended from one of the upper wards. He
had stabbed her three times, when the peo-
pie rushed in, overpowered him and held
him prisoner until the police came.
The wounded, bleeding sister was carried
beautiful young girl of 20, with dark eyes
and hair. She has been in st. Joseph's
Hospital but short time. The assassin
was an italian named Pedro Buecherri, who
has lived in Reading some time, following
the occupation of shoemaker. Four months
ago he sustained severe injuries in a fire
and was admitted to the hospital.
For the past four weeks Sister Hide
berta was in his ward. Night and day she
waited on the italian with kindness. This
afternoon she passed through the ward, as
was her custom, and served each of the
patients with glass of milk. The italian
was served with the rest and behaved as
we'll as usual. Sister Hildeberta then left
the ward and went down toward the
kitchen. The italian followed, but no one
in the ward had the slightest suspicion of
his object.
He had borrowed a large pocket knife
during the afternoon from Scott, the animal
keeper, who was torn by tiger in one of
the cages of the Forepaugh show when it
why he had attacked the Sister, he replied
to the Police. Sergeant: "Mexican girl no
like italian" The doctor in charge of the
sister tonight says she cannot live.

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

and scurriBsus Talk

The Conflict to Be Devoid of Mud Singing
and scurriIsus Talk
State Treasurer John w. Morrison left on
the fast mail last night for Harrisburg after
spending few days in the city on business,
and predicted the coming campaign would
be clean-cut, devoid of mud singing and un-
questionably would result in Republican
victory.
"The lives of the leaders are so we'll
known to the American people," he con-
tinued, land their petty foibles and trans
gressions of personal nature have been so
long drawn out and talked and written of so
much, that there is little, if anything left to
say. President Harrison's term in the
White House has been ACCOMPANIED with
such astute and diplomatic actions that peo-
pie are heartily in accord with him. and
will undoubtedly give him a telling support
at the next election"

the Amalgamated Association, whose price
is quoted at s25, were willing to come down
to $24. There is no doubt but that settle
ment could have been effected upon this
point, but the main question at issue and
the one most hotly contested was the time
set for the expiration of the scale. For
several years past the scale has expired on
the night of June 80, and the Amalga-
mated Association will not change the date,
while the manufacturers demand that the
scale expire on January 1.
While the meeting was still in progress
the Amalgamated committee requested the
manufacturers to withdraw temporarily
while the committee discussed some unex-
pected point that had been introduced.

Europeans Beaten at Their Own Game by
the Willy Moshis of Africa.
BERLIN, June 23.-Oficial advices re-
ceived here from Dar-es-Salaam, on the
East coast of Africa, confirm the reports of
the disaster that befel the German force
under the command of Baron Won Bulow in
the Moshi territory near Kilima-Njaro.
Baron Won Bulow, Lieutenant Wolfram and
20 of the Soudanese soldiers attached to the
expedition were killed. The non-commis-
stoned officers, Wulzer and Wittstock, hold
Kilima-Njaro with Ga men. A detachment
of 180 men has been sent to their relief
from Dar-es-Salaam.
1t is said that Baron Won Bulow recently
ordered all the English missionaries to
leave the Moshi territory in East Africa, as
he in tended to attack and, if necessary, ex-
terminate the Moshi tribe. The attempt to
enforce this policy resulted disastrously to
the German force, for the Moshis have
prac cticallv exterminated the whites.

How Gordon Sattied It.

The artillery evinced in their disgust at their removal to Qunisan by refusing to fall in, and in proclamation they threatened to blow the Chinese authori- ties away with the small guns and the Europeans with the big guns. Their noncommissioned officers, as usual, all paraded, and were sent for by Major Gordon, who asked them the reason why the men did not fall in, and who wrote the proclamation. They of course did not know; and on Major Gordon telling them he would be obliged to shoot one in every five, they evinced their objec- tion to this proceeding by groan. The most prominent in this was corporal, who was dragged out, and 8 couple of infantry who were standing by were ordered to load, and directed to shoot the mutineer, which one did without the slightest hesitation.
 The remainder were marched back and locked up for an hour, with the threat that if the name of the writer of this proclamation was not given, and if the men did not fall in before an hour had elapsed, the arrangement of shoot ing one in five would be carried out. At tho expiration of an hour the men all fell in, and the name of the culprit, who had run away, was given up.
 After that time we had no trouble the men were thoroughly cswed and the noncommissiened ofdcersv the, real of tfenders- dared no longer foster seditsoaf

The annual report of the storrs school

The annual report of the Storrs school gives the following present officers of the school:
 B. F. Rooms, principal, professor of bi- ology and natural history; A. B. Peebles, professor of chemistry and physics; c. s. Phelps, professor of agriculture; Miss Josephine Nettleton, instructor in math- ematics and English; l.. F. Chamberlain, farm superintendent; Mrs. 0. E. Hillard, matron. The experiment station staff are: w. O. Atwater, director; c. D. Woods, vice director and chemist; c. s. Phelps, agriculturalist; RI. M. Smith, assistant chemist; E. A. Bailey, assistant agriculturalist.
 The following is from the report of Prof. Chamberlain farm superintendent i:
 The Storrs school farm, comprising about one hundred and seventy acres of diversified soil, and of a decidedly undu- lating surface, may now be regarded as having become fairly productive, when measured by the standard of our well improved Connecticut farms; but when measured by the truer standard of its pos sible productiveness, even within the Him. its of profitable cultivation, its products by no means justify such 6 claim. Near ly all those lands that are naturally suited to the growth of hay or cereals and other annual crops have been improved by eul- tivation and by fertilization. More than forty acres are now entirely free from boulders and all other Instructions to easy cultivation. The smaller stones, which abound in most of the upper soil, but do not penetrate the subsoil to a troublesome extent, have also been quite thoroughly removed, thus greatly lesson ing the danger from impatience in culti- vation, as well as the cost of growing all cultivated crops. Quite likely no more remain in many fields than are needed in the soil to preserve it's texture, tempera- ture and moisture. Enough has been done in the line of mechanical improve ment and partial fertilization to greatly increase the live stock of the farm. This gives additional manurial resources, and warrants the adoption of 6 much more liberal system of cropping than that of the past. The better utilization of the corn crop, through the silo, has largely contributed to the increase of dairy prod ucts, and to make their production 8 source of increased profit. Little has been done to improve the pasture lands, beyond the cutting of bushes, to prevent their complete occupancy of the depleted soil. The fact is noticeable that those who excel in the class room, those with whom improvement is the dominant pur- pose and the steady aim, are also the re- liable and efficient helpers in the work of the farm. There are but few exceptions to this rule.

odd cluss Nsnes.

There are a nufnber of societies in the world that bear strange names, but probably one of the most curious was g club founded in 1735 by an English ac- tor. It was called "The Sublime Soei- ety of Beefsteaks," and had among its members the Prince of Wales and other royal personages. They met in the painting room of the Covent Garden theater, and dined upon beefsteaks. The club was in existence for more than 8 hundred years, and became quite noted because of it's odd customs. An. other strange name was that of the .sScriblerus club" which Swift founded in 1714, and to which Pope, Gay and other literary men belonged.-Harper's Young People.
