kalisher, of the nrm of Steinberger 81
kalisher, that gentleman took him into
the firms employ as a travelling sales
man. He worked for this firm about two
years, and was discharged on the lst of
March last. Steinberger Il Kalisher say
that while they never caught Beck in the
act of stealing, their suspicious were fire.
Guently aroused regarding his honesty,
and rather than have him working under
shadow they discharged him. He is
considered by commercial men as being
good drummer, and was always fond
OF dress and society.

The border through those States is not

large number OF Chinese who are trying
to get into the United States in violation
OF the Exclusion Act. Just as soon as
Chinaman lands in Canada and pays his
$50 per capita tax he can become natural

citizens of Canada merely to get into this
country, but we keep them out, because
it is clearly an attempt to eva9e our law"

MINISTER REID.

He Arrives at New York on the
Steamer Champagne.
New YORK, April 3.-Hon. Whitelaw
Reid, United States Minister to France,
was seen on board the Champagne this
morning and talked freely concerning in
ternational affairs. Speaking of the re-
ciprocity and extradition treaties between
the United States and France, which
MIR. Reid had with him, he said the sign
ing of these treaties completed, with
minor exceptions, all the pending negoti-
atoms between the United States and
France. 1t only remains for the Senate
and Chamber of Deputies to ratify them.
The reciprocity treaty will doubtless be a
great benefit to both countries.

His Illness More Serious Than Gem
orally Supposed.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The condition
OF Justice Lamar of the Supreme Court
is much more serious than the public
generally are aware. He has suffered with
hemorrhage from the lungs for several
days. and, in addition, is said to have
symptoms of Bright's disease. His FAM
lily are greatly worried at his condition.
The recurrence of hemorrhages pre-
cludes sleep, and this greatly aggravates
the trouble. Notwithstanding the giav-
lty of the case Justice Lamar is still strong
enough to write, and when a reporter
called at the house to ascertain exactly
how he was, the Justice went down stairs
and wrote the following bulletin in his
own handwriting: About the same, with
some Improvement. Hemorrhages less
in number, and not so profuse. Com
plains of pains in the left side''

Trade with Brazil Increasing.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Hon. e. II.
Conger, United States Minister to Brazil,
is in Washington, en- route to his home
in Iowa on leave of absence. Mr.. Con-
ger says the opposition to the reciprocity
treaty is dying out, and English and
German importers are now sending to
the United States for goods in order to
secure advantages of the treaty. The in
creased trade compelled Brazil to estab-
lish a company to run four steamers
monthly, instead of three as formerly.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Accordinp to
the present programme of the leaders OF
the majority, the tariff question will be
practically the matter under considera-
ton in the House during the COMING

three separate,tarift bills will be trans

WOODEN bills are rapidly nearing final

five-minute limitation applies TO speeches

proposed amendment. There is some
talk to the effect that the bill will be
passed tomorrow by a two-thirds vote.
under suspension OF the rules, but this is
not accepted, as all opportunity for
amendments will thereby be cut OF
The Republican minority has a large
number of substantial amendments 10
offer, and an opportunity 10 discuss and
vote upon these and other amendments
will be freely offered. Therefore it is
probable that the whole committee will
not come to a final vote until Tuesday af-
ternoon, at the earliest.
The binding-twine bill will follow the
wool bill. Ii is believed by the Speaker
that few hours general debate on each
side will be sufficient 10 bring the meas
ure TO vote, and perhaps il can beacted
on IN season to permit the bagging bin to
be taken up before the week closes.
Unless il shall be the disposition TO de-
bate the binding-twine and bagging bills
at considerable length, the appropriation
bills will be suffered TO wait upon the
tariff bills, with the possible exception OF
the urgency deficiency appropriation bill.

Colonel Stevenson claims to have Sc
cured to Commodore Vanderbilt his first
good place as captain of the steamer
Stoughtenton, and also to have brought
about the nomination of James K. Polk
by combination of southern men. His
object was to beat James Buchanan's
schemes. President Polk gave him a
colonel's commission, and he raised the

in gold dust to Sacramento, and finally
located in San Francisco. Among his
acquaintance was General Sherman.
He has visited New York but once, and

Dogs on the Sea.

It is strange fact that sea life changes
the character of domestic creatures.
After few voyages they become as diff
ferent from the lubberly land creatures
of their respective species as the sailor is
unlike the landsman. The ships dog
may be quite properly classed as ''non-
sporting" Its life is usually free from
excitement. It is obliged to confine its
strolls to narrow limits. 1t is fonder of
the foremost hands than of the cabin
people, probably because it finds the
former more affectionate and indulgent.

they say in Wall street, engineered
chiefly by Charles Parsons, OF 10 BROAD
way, who began buying New England
stock In very quiet way year ago.
Austin Corbin, who now has such
large interests in the northeastern Sec
ton of the United States, was born IN
New Hampshire sixty-four years ago,
his father being a typical Yankee farmer
of limited means. Austin obtained a
common school education, studied law,
completed his legal course at the Har-
ward law school,Eand after pradticing
while in his native state located in Dav-
EXPORT, Ia, in 1851. There he organized
a banking firm with Louis A. Macelot,
and they succeeded in drawing millions
of New England capital to Davenport
and vicinity. Their business was so
ably conducted that they went through
the panic Of 1878 in perfect safety,
paying 100 cents on the dollar of every
claim and attracting the capital drawn
by the ti1nid from other banks.
When the national bank act was
passed Mr.. Corbin at once applied for a
charter, and on the goth of June, 1868,
the First National of Davenport was
opened. His dealings soon made it nee
essary for him to take charge of the In
diana, Bloomington and Western rail
road, and thus he became a railroad
manager and located in New York. Mr..
Corbin is a large and well preserved
man and bids fair to be railroad king
for many years.

until the vessel shall have sailed so far
from land that it is not worth while to re-

'stowaway." But the term may be APP
piled to land travelling, too, as Mr.. Stanley
discovered when he was leading his small
army of Africans from Lake Albert to
Zanzibar. A few Europeans, including
Emin Pasha, accompanied him. One morn
ing little boy eleven years old was found
in the camp. 1t seemed that week be-
fore this he had left his fathers village
and joined Mr.. Stanley's porters, having
covered his head with cloth in order to es-
cape detection. His father, however, turn
ed up to claim him. When asked why he
had gone away with strangers, he said that
he wanted to see the place where the gums
came from and where the thunder medi

house for workingmen. A company has
been formed to carry on this idea. The
object of the company is to establish and
operate coffee houses in places frequented
by workingmen and to supply them with
a cup of good coffee or tea for two cents
and meals at moderate prices. Friends
of this movement will be asked to take
up stock at five dollars per share, and as
it is expected that the work will be
largely self sustaining the stock will
probably be worth par.

Seed Farms of the United States,


The first report ever made through the
census Office of the statistics of the seed
farms Of the United States affords these
figures. Only such farms as are devoted
to seed growing as a business are in
cluded: There is q total Of 596 farms
in the United States devoted exclusively
to seed production. These farms occupy
169,S51 acres of land, of which 96,567
acres were reported as devoted to seed
production during the census year. This
industry represents total value of
farms, implements and buildings Of
$19, 325, 1886, and employed in 1890, 1850
men and 1,541 women.
Of the 500 seed farms in the United
States, 1853, or nearly one-half, are in the
North Atlantic division, the original
center of seed production. These farms
have an acreage of Al, S13, or an average
of 1876 acres per farm, while in the north
central division there are 1877 farms, with
an acreage of S7,O96, or an average of
$50 acres per farm. The seed farms of
Massachusetts and Connecticut average
142 acres per farm, while those Of Iowa
and Nebraska are 695 acres in extent,
and are producing seeds on scale Of
equal magnitude to the other products
of that section of the country.
So far as reported there were but 2
seed farms in the country previous to
1900 Zone of these was established in
Philadelphia in 1884, and the other at
Enfield, N. H., in 1885, only 8 in 1890,

Tt has generally been accepted as true
that Stonewall Jackson would never

proved incorrect by paper in Maine,
whose editor was member of the
Tenth Maine regiment, which was sur
