We May Have the Gilbert Islands.

SAN Francisco, March "a. - King
Tombrino, of Butaritari, who arrived
here last week, announces that his mis-
sion to this country is to secure the pro-
lection of the United States for the Gill
bert islands. He says if this government
will accept the proposition and raise the
American flag over the islands, he will
agree to transfer to the United States the
harbor of the Island of Buteritari and
keep the harbor in good condition as a
coaling station and for refuge at all
times. He would assist to the utmost in
promoting the commercial relations be-
tween the two countries.

WANT SAN aUlNTlN.
The British Said To Be scheming for a
New Coaling Station.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 24.-The
threatened trouble with Great Britain
over the Behring Sea question makes in
teresting the revelations of Charles e.
Anthony, a civil engineer who recently
reached San Diego from Lower Cali
fornia. Anthony claims to have proof
of a plan of the English government to
seize the harbor of San Quintin, Lower
California for coaling station, and he
gives new facts in regard to the scheme,
which may yet be carried out. He says:
s'All the railroad building and irriga-
ton works planned by the Mexican In
ternational Company are simply blind
to cover the plans of the English govern
ment to secure coaling station in
Lower California, as in the event OF the
building of the Nicaragua Canal it will
be necessary for the English to have a
base of supplies somewhere between the
Pacific entrance to the canal and British
Columbia. At the time of the filibuster-
ing scare two years ago the British war
ships Pheasant and War Spite were ly-
ing off San Quintin on the edge of the
horizon, waiting for signal from the
heights back of the town that American
filibusters had arrived. In that case they
were to steam in, seize the harbor, and
raise the British flag, under the pretext
of protecting English interest. The
alarm of the Mexican government spoiled
the filibustering scheme, and the two
English vessels finally sailed up the
coast: but the plan of securing coaling
station hasn't been abandoned, and on
the first opportunity San Quintin will be
seized
"All the work about Ensenada is a
mere farce. Mr.. Blaine has several
times been warned of intrigues of this
international company, and he has sent
special agents to watch them. The final
resort of the company, in case all other
of 19,OO0,000 acres, and demand of the
Mexican government as compensation
the cession of San Quintin and the sur
rounding land. This now seems to be
the plan that will be followed"

ments for the proposed New England
base ball league met the local enthu,
siasts of this city and Auburn tonight.
The meeting was held at the Dewitt

the interest felt in the two cities in the
proposed league. The meeting heartily
endorsed the project of a league similar
to the Western Association and COM

The killing of Carlson.

VALPARAISO, Chill, via GALVESTON,

fails entirely to show that the police had
any hand in his death. AS, however,
Consul McC Creary claimed that they had,

TO PROTECT THE sEALERs.

Her Majesty's Ships Said To Be Sailing to
the Northward.
LONDON, March 24.-It is stated today
on excellent authority that Rear Admir-
al Hotham, of the British Pacific squad
ron, has received instructions to protect
the Canadian sealers in event that no ar
rangement can be arrived at with, the
United States.
Lord Salisbury was at first inclined
not to take this step, and simply to leave
the matter alone, letting the CANADIANS
take their chances to escape from the
American revenue cutters, and OF litiga-
tion in the American courts. To this,
Sir Charles Tupper, the Canadian High
Commissioner, is said to have strenuous
ly objected. He pointed out that such a
course would be in marked and dishon-
orable contrast to the strong foreign pol
icy which has characterized Lord Sails
bury's government in other regions of
the world, and that failure to protect
British subjects engaged in an occupa-
ton asserted by Great Britain to be law
full, would be virtual abandonment of
all claim to Canadian loyalty. Sir
Charles, it is stated by an eminent CANA
dian, who is supposed to be thoroughly IN
his confidence, gave Lord Salisbury to
understand that Canada did not ask for,
but demanded the protection of England
and that nothing less than complete pro-
lection would be satisfactory to her peo-
pie. Should the the sealing issue result
in war, the Canadians would be prepared
to do their part and prove their loyalty
on land, but they must look to England
for defence at sea. Sir Charles is said Is
have urged that England could affSrd {.
quarrel with the United States, as it was
a question regarding which the whole
world will be on the English side as
against the claimant to monopoly of
animals roaming the high seas.
!, A despatch from Victoria, B. c., says
tba at kear Admiral Hotham, has sent a
cable despatch to Esquimalt that war
ships Melpomene, Champion and War
spite have started for Esquimalt and that
they will reach there on April 1, two
months earlier than the time previously
arranged for their arrival This sudden
change in the disposition of the ships
has caused no little comment and is TAX
en- to indicate a serious phase in the
Behring sea dispute.

that the question then was on the mo-

After a time order was restored, and

ton having shown that Mr.. Donovan of
Ohio voted in the negative, Mr.. Outh-

bookkeeping in a Small Way.

Why should not every farmer have q
few colonies to gather the honey and
fertilize the bloom of his orchards? There
is nothing in the way of every intel
Ggent man or woman living in the
country doing this. The necessary in
struction for beginners is cheap and
available. Like modern hardware
store, supply dealers have every fixture
of hives and their appliances ready for
service that novice may begin at once.
Transferring introducing of queens, di.
viding of colonies, extracting of honey,
handling and marketing the same, can
all be learned in a short time. In fact,
the art is fast becoming q science. The
introducing of queens, that was for a
long time considered a hazardous expert
ment, is now performed with but little
risk. Cages are now so constructed that
all that is necessary to do with the
queen and her convoy when they are re-
ceived in such cage, is just to take out
the cork stopping the entrance and put
ting the cage between the combs, or
simply laying it on top OF course the
old queen has to be previously removed
Sugar paste having been put in the cage,
stopping the hole from which the cork
has been removed, it requires some time
before the queen imprisoned is liberated,
and during this time the bees and she
become acquainted, and having iber-
ated her themselves without any excite
ment, she is generally well received.
Spring is the best season in which to
begin, says the Philadelphia Farm Jour-
nal. Get one or two colonies to start
with. If you can get them in movable
comb hives so much the better. If these
are not available take good colonies in
box hives, and have them transferred in
May into whatever kind of hive you may
select. Remember there are no patents
on hives that amount to anything now.
Do not believe any venders of patent
hives. They are frauds. Langstroth,
the American chaff hives, single and
double stories, the Simplicity and many
others, are all reliable and free from

CROPS IN OHIO.
A Favorable Bulletin Isaued From tn
Weather Bureau at Columbus.

| A Favorable Bulletin Isaued From the
Weather Bureau at Columbus.
COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 3.--The Weather
Bureau has issued the following crop bull
letip for Ohio;
Weather conditions--Over the northern
| section the rainfall, temperature and sun
shine were above the average. Over the
middle section the rainfall, temperature
and sunshine were in excess of the aver
age. Over the southern section the rain
fall was deficient except at scattered local
points where heavy showers occurred /;
the temperature and sunshine were above
the average.
Crop conditions-Norther sectiop-The
weather during the week was favorable
for harvesting and threshing. All grow
ing crops were greatly benefited by OPP
perfume showers. The wheatis generally
threshing out poor with shrunken berry.
Oats are ready to harvest and are in good
condition. The corn looks small but Is
growing well, and was much benefited
by the warm, showery weather, and is
silking. Haying is nearly over, and of
good quality. The buckwheat looks well.
The tobacco is doing nicely. Grasshop.
pers are iniuring the clover and oats in
some counties. Blackberries are ripe and
plentiful, but blasted in some counties by
drouth. Potatoes are improving. The
drouth during the first part of the week
was injurious to the growing crops.
Middle section-Considerabl wheat was
threshed and hauled during the first half
OF the week; during the latter part show
ers retarded the work. Oats are partly
cut and promise fair crop; they we're
lodged in some localities by wind storms,
Corn is silking out and growing very nicely
since the recent rains. Hay is nearly all
made and promises fair crop. Pastures
and potatoes are improving-they were
damaged.some by insects during the week.
A few early peaches and pears are ripe.
Grapes are rotting considerably. Grhss-
hoppers are numerous and are damaging
oats, clover seed, timothy, corn, and pas
lures in quite number of counties. The
weather was excessively hot and sunny
with occasional showers during the week
and did much good to all growing crops.
Southern section-The weather during
the first half Of the week was very warm
and dry, and as a consequence the grow
ing crops suffered some; during the latter
half copious local showers fell and the
temperature was reduced, the prevalent
conditions greatly reviving and favoring
a rapid growth OF the crops. Harvesting
is about completed and threshing is in
general progress. The hay and oats are
nearly all cut and secured or shocked.
The corn has advanced fairly well. Early
potatoes are being dug, with the yield
fair; late potatoes are not doing so we'll.
The tobacco in some counties Is doing
we'll, in others 1t is firing and being dam
aged bp insects. In few counties the
grasshoppers are damaging the oats and
corn. The blackberry is damaged con-
siderably by the excessive heat of the frat
half of the week. The rains are delaying
work somewhat.

MRS. LOHR DISAPPEARS.
AND THE PLOT THlCKeNS IN THE ABoR.
TON CASE,

Report That Mr.. Lohr Came Home and
Found His Wife Keeping Company With
william Unkershick-He Laid For Him
But Missed his Man.
Coroner Openhimer consulted Prosecu-
tor Bow today in reference to the Lohr
case, the details of which were published
In yesterdays NEws-DEMoCRAT. At the
prosecutors suggestion the coroner,
accompanied by NEws-DEMooRAT
reporter, called at the house of Mrs. Lohr
for the purpose of making further inves-
tigation but they failed to find her. 1t is
understood she has left for her former
home.
Mrs. Schenk, who occupies part of the
house where the Lohr woman lives, says
that on the night in question the baby was
alive when she retired, but that
when she got up in the morning
the child had mysteriously disappeared. 1t
is thought that man named VIM. Reed
is implicated in the case, or at least that
he knows where Mrs. Lohr went last
night.
1t now transpires that Mrs. Lohr's hus-
band went to the house Sunday night
and found Unkershich there in her com.
pany. He (Lohr) laid for Unkershich
outside the house, but missed him.
William Undershick the man implicated
in the affair has also skipped for parts
unknown. He left his home, No. 1876
Marion street, yesterday noon to go to
work and has not been then seen. At the
hour of going to press Marshal Gentry is
still investigating.

Orchard Grass with Clover.

At one of the Ohio farmers institutes
a farmer said: II recommend that more
attention be given to the production of
orchard grass. When l SOW clover l al
ways SOW orchard grass with it. 1t pays
well and clover will do for pasture for
horses, cattle and swine. The orchard
grass is very valuable adjunct in a
clover field. If you intend cutting the
clover for hay, the orchard grass is still
strong, and will stand a great deal of
clover. 1t helps the clover, and can
make better quality of hay.
81 don't think, as a rule, that farmers
generally SOW large variety of grasses.
We can have a great number and va
riety of grasses growing, have more
pasture, keep the ground all occupied
and give variety of feed. have timo-
thy land and blue grass land. The proper
time to sow orchard grass is when the
weather gets warm in the spring, can
get better stand along in April to the
middle of May. If sown alone use two
bushels of seed to the acre. When l sow
clover / use about half a bushel."
