sPAIN,s COLUMBIAN CELEBRATION.
The Old Carnival Of Christopher Columbus
Sails Out Of Cadiz Harbor.

CADIz, July 31.-The Christopher
Columbus celebration was formally
begun today by the departure hence
for Huelva of Columbus caraval Santa
Maria, lowed by Pie Lago and escorted
by the British cruiser Scout, the
French cruiser Harondala and several
Spanish warships and fiotilla of
small steamers. The spectacle pre-
sented was fine. The quaint aspect OF
the old Columbus vessel was in strong
contrast with the appearance OF the
modern vessels. AN enormous crowd
lined the quays and ramparts to wit
ness the departure. The man-of-war
Lepanto saluted the caraval as she
passed out of the barbor. A brilliant
company gathered at the fete given by
the minister of marine in honor of the
event. A bull fight was also held.

SMALLPOX IN MANITOBA.
North Dakota Guaranteed Against That
Territory and Guards Stationed.


ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 31.-A Penn
bina, N. D., special to the Pioneer
Press says: Owing to danger arising
from smallpox at Gretna and other
points in Manitoba, Governor Burk
has issued a proclamation absolutely
quarantining against Manitoba.
State uperintendent of Health
Devereux and DR.. Musgrove are here
today comforting with the mOmbers of
the board of health, regarding regu-
lations and guards to be stationed a
mile apart along the boundary line,
who will allow no one to cross to
this side till the quarantine
is raised. All trains are to be stopped
at the boundary after today, and such
people as are in Winnipeg and other
points in Manitoba who wish to come
home will have to remain there until
quarantine is raised. When the pas
sengers on the northbound train today
found out the state of affairs many
stopped and took the return train
south. There are no cases this side of
the line, and with proper precaution
it is thought all danger will soon be
over and traffic resumed. Premier
Greenway and Manitoba officials aid
all they can to make the quarantine
effective.

water is getting low and cotton is also
suffering for rain.
There is a great deal of complaint
about the boil worm which is running
a good many crops. Some fields will
not make one bale to ten acres if moth
ing more comes on, and crops that
promised one-half to three.quarters of
a bale to the acre, one farmer said,
with present prospects, will not make
one bale ON twenty acres.
Methodist Jim Davis, Third party
speaker, was to speak here last night,
but failed to show up on account of
missing train. Quite crowd came
in to hear him.
Bartlett showed up some fine colts
today, as it was annual colt show day.
Mr.. j. V. Martin got the first prize, j.
N. Laughlin second. All colts were
bred from Mr.. A. M. knights horse.
People are beginning to realize that it

and not leave it until the session is
finally closed, has not perceptibly, If
at all, increased the ranks of those
present today. But no question came
up that required the ascertaining of
the fact of whether there was voting
quorum present or not. If it had been
necessary to test that point the result
would have been demonstration in
the negative.
The resolution extending until next
Thursday last years appropriations
for government bureaus covered by
and included in the sundry civil APP
preparation bill (still hanging in the
house, was passed without any divis-
ion.
Almost all that occupied the atten-
ton of the senate were speeches on
the tariff by Senators Hale and His
cock, advocating and defending the
policy of protection and the statement
by Vest respecting the profits of the
Arlington wool mills.
The resolution for the appointment
of a select committee as to the en-
ployment of Pinkerton detectives was
reported back from the committee or
education and labor and went ovel
without action until tomorrow.
At the conclusion of the tariff
speeches the senate adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA hal
hours debate preceded the passage
by the house today of the joint resolu'
ton extending until Aug. A the APP
preparation embodied in the sundry
civil bill of last year. There were
recriminations INDUCED in by both
sides but the indulgence was princi'
pally for party effect.
The Worlds Fair appropriation did
not come up but the bill passed chang
ing the date of the dedicatory cere
monies to Oct. q. Nothing further
was done.
One hundred and forty-six member:
responded to their names on the roll
call, this being twenty-one short OF
quorum. On motion of Mr.. Mcmillan
of Tennessee a call of the house wal
ordered. An exact quorum, 1877 mem
bers, responded. Mr.. Holman ther
rose to move suspension of the rules
but before the proposition was read
Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois made thu
point of order that the previous ques
ton having been ordered on senate
amendments to the sundry civil ap
preparation bill, motion to suspend

overruled the point of order.
Mr.. Bingham said the Worlds fai
amendment from the senate, under tn
rules of the senate, had become @ par
of the sundry. The last was not con
coded in the house and the World

houses have been made haunted" as
much as houses were ever the resi-
dences OF spirits. In a New York
town some summers ago woman saw
in passing the house OF her birth what
she was convinced was the spirit face
of her dead mother, killed by light

house became haunted in the minds
OF the superstitious-it had the I'M
enviable reputation for many months.
But a year afterward a more than
usually brave citizen saw the face at
the window as he was passing. II did
not change as he approached. And
the result of his investigation showed
that the Lightning flash which killed
poor Mrs. Rodman had photo
graphically drawn her likeness on

Fertilizers.

In an interesting paper in the Phar-
maceutical Era the writer has this to
say concerning the relative value of
manure and commercial fertilizers:
The farmer who uses a commercial
fertilizer finds no such difficulties be-
setting his labors, for it is compare
lively easy matter to drill the fertiliz-
ers in at the time the grain is sown, or
1t may be readily sown broadcast
and then dragged in. The question of
depth is not important, anywhere
from one-half to eight inches will do.
In planting grains or seeds OF any
kind little care will place the iertil-
izer just where it will do the plant the
most good, and the proper amount
an be used, since the food is homo ge-
cneous, every spoonful haying the
same composition as every other
spoonful. This is the most commend
able feature of the commercial fertil-
izer as plant food. Again while q
