San Francisco, Oct 26.-The Pacific
Mail Company's steamer City Of New
York went ashore this evening in a
dense fog and win probably be a total
loss. She is hard and fast on the rocks
at Point Bonita. with eight feet of
water in her hold she sailed for China
and Japan at $3.50 this afternoon and
went down the bay under a full head
of steam. The fog was very thick and
lost sight of. About o'clock the boonl-
ing of cannon could be heard and Sig
nal rockets were seen as they burst
above the fog, At first it was not
known what vessel was in distress, and
II was thought II might be the Mono
wal, due today today from Australia.
Later il was ascertained that IL was
the City of New York, The steamer
was IN command of Captain r. ii.
Johnson and in charge of Pilot Sven
son. she carried a large cargo of flour
and q large passenger list, including
two hundred Chinese, When the ship
struck the rocks the Chinese In the
steerage set up a howl and intense
confusion reibned.
The latest advices from the wreck
state that the steamer went on the
rocks at full speed and the numerous
tugs which rushed to her assistance
could not pull her Off She has eight
feet of water in her hold. All the pas
sengers have been taken off and win
be brought back to this city.

cally rebuilt few year sago. She was
of 3019.56 gross tonnage, 339 feet long,
40 feet inches in beam, and 20 feet s
inches in depth There is very little
wind tonight, and the tugs win stand
by the stranded ship all night. Should
the wind come up she will probably
soon go TO pieces. The ship Is valued
at half a million dollars. A reporter
just in on one OF the tugs from the
wreck, reports that the City of New
York is lying with her head westward,
hroadside upon the rocks. She Is lying
over on the port side, and has three
or four big holes stove in her bottom.

now lowering about the wreck could
possibly pull the steamer from the
rccks, but this would be useless as 1t
is certain that she would go to the
bottom. Though the steamer is DOOM
ed, il is believed that she win hold

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
1t Is in the Hands of Cleveland and
Carlisle for Revision.

Washington, Oct 26.--It is UNDER
stood that the rough draft of the pro-
posed tariff bill is now in the hands of
President Cleveland and Secretary Car
Isle for perusal. Some of the features
of the bill are radical. The Springer
free wool bill which passed the house
last congress is incorporated into the
bill practically without any change,
There is to be a radical cut made in
the glass schedule. There will be a
considerable enlargement of the free
list by the addition of raw materials
and a heavy cut in all duties which
are not properly revenue duties. The
idea of a tariff for revenue only is adj
hered to quite closely, but this appli-
ton may not be made to coal and iron
ore, which goes on the free list, and
there is very considerable shaving
down of the entire iron and steel
schedules. The tax on whisky will be
increased not over twenty cents. The
increase in the beer tax is practically
decided on. The sub committee has not
quite made up it's mind on the sugar
question, but they have practically de-
termined not to try to get any revenue
cut of sugar. The sugar bounty Will
go however. Either the income tax
or inheritance tax will be provided as
an increase to the revenues.

The department of agriculture says
the growth of horns can be prevented
by mixture of fifty parts of caustic
soda, twenty-five parts OF kerosene
oil and twenty-five parts of water.
An emulsion is made of the kerosene
oil and soda by heating and vigorous
ly stirring, and this is then dissolved
IN water. The mixture should then
be placed in a bottle with a solid
rubber cork. In applying, the calf
should not be over three weeks old;
from five to twenty days being the
proper age. With pair of scissors
clip the hair around the embryo horn
exposing spot about the size
of nickel Hold the calf
securely and drop two or three
drops of the mixture upon the
horn. and with the end of the
rubber cork rub it thoroughly
over the bare spot. Apply the fluid
first to one horn and then the other,
until each horn has been gone over
three or four times. The rubbing
should be continued until the caustic
has softened and removed the hair
and surface skin Immediately around
the horn. Care should be taken that
the fluid does not spread over large
surface or run down the sides OF the
face. The mixture must be carefully
and thoroughly applied; if used care
lessly the embryo horn may not only
be killed, but the face of the calf be
disfgured. This is less cruel to the
animal, gives a well-rounded POLL and
presents more slightly appearance
than when the saw is used later in
life. Farmers Voice.

the value to health of the pure liquid

Its excellence is due to its presenting

beneficial properties of perfect lax

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and

PestIferous woods.


Other things being equal, the worst
weeds we have to fight against are
those with long roots which extend
so far down into the soil that ordln-
AIRY cultivation does not destroy
them. They are generally the ones
that thrive season after season, and
continue to multiply in spite of all
efforts to destroy them. They ex-
tend their tap roots down below the
depth reached by the pillow or hoes,
and while they seem to be uprooted
by these instruments, they are real
ly only checked in their growth. 1t
is quite essential in fighting the
weeds that we should know the diff
ference between the long-rooted Kind
and those that live on the surface
soil. II the long-rooted ones are not
destroyed by digging up the whole
of their roots, they will progress
rapidly, and soon overrun a farm.
Among those long-rooted plants
that injure our fields are the we'll
known dandelions, burdocl5s, chicory,
the wild parsnip, carrot, bugloss,
hounds tongue, primrose, teasel,
shepherds purse, mallow and null
lein. These long-rooted weeds belong
to several families, but they can be
grouped together by the popularity
of their long tap root, and it is this
nuisance which makes them of
special interest to the farmer.
The wild parsnip is among the
largest and coarsest of these weeds,
says the American Cultivator, and
they readily take possession of waste
ground, and gradually extend to
cultivated fields, il not checked. 1t
lives, however, only for two years,
and if the seed stalks are cut off
carefully every year they can easily
be exterminated. The common dande-
lions, however, instead of being
destroyed by cutting off the top,
seems to increase more rapidly by
this disturbance. 1t produces several
heads of leaves when the one is cut
off. The whole root should be dug
up and destroyed The common
burdock is disagreeable plant, and
it deceives many by its size, and
attempts are often made to pull it
up, The root invariably breaks off,
and leaves enough in the ground to
start new plants.
The wild carrot in many parts of
