He Declares That Chinese Inspection
at New York Has Been a Farce.

a
Special Chinese Inspector J. Thomas
Scharf has issued a reply to the criticism
of his course by ex-Collector Hendricks.
He begins IT by saying:
Your letter of July IS to the honorable
Secretary OF the Treasury having received
from Secretary Carlisle that condemnation
which II deserved, II only remains neces-
sary for me to add further evidence Of
your dereliction OF duty in the admission
of prohibited Cinnamon"
Mr.. Scharf goes into the details OF the
investigation of the Chinaman Yee Lit.
who was allowed TO land at New York and
whose case lead to the strained relations
between the special agents and the coll
lector's force. He denies that Acting Col
lector Couch made a thorough investiga-
ton. "A more perfunctory investigation.
designed not to discover facts, was never
made even under your inspiratio he
adds. THE evidence, IL not cooked TO your
appetite. was certainly seasoned 10 your
taste"
MI. Scharf asserts that the identity Of
fee Lit was not established. and he tells
again the story of his Investigation of the
Chinaman's sale Of a previous residence IN
Yonkers. Then, passing to the general
subject OF the admittance OF Chinese at
this port, he says:
THE short period Of my inspectorship
has convinced me, as well as the depart
ment, that systematic scheme of evad-
ing the Chinese expulsion laws exists un-
der which hundreds OF Chinese laborers
are smuggled into the country. IL I'm your
term OF office YOU can show that there has
been any objection raised at the port OF
New York TO the admission of any China
man, You will to that extent shake my
nrm conviction that the laws against Chi
nese laborers have never been properly en-
forced In the port of New York. The fund
amentel error of your tax system has been
IN shifting the burden of proof from the
Chinaman to the United States officers.
"This theory of yours as to proofs would
account for the fact that all Cinnamon
enter New York who can satisfy the doubt
Iul descriptions contained in their pass
ports or certificates.
To assume everything In favor of the
Chfnaman and to rely. as you seem 10
nave done, entirely upon the methods OF
omcers with reference to the ytseing Of
certificates issued by the Chinese consul
to persons departing from this country and
their methods of examination of Chinese
upon the arrival OF the Chinese al this
port would account for the fact that not
single Chtnaman has been debarred from
entrance at the port of New York. Your
proper manner of enforcing the laws has
admitted 4o9 Cinnamon in one year. but has
rot debarred single one
MI Scharf closes his letter by criticising
the interpreters employed, citing cases of
men allowed to land whose stories could
charge that Mr.. Tingle and not the Sec
rotary wrote the letter to Mr. Hendricks,
he says:
IF II is any consolation TO you TO think
that Mr.. Tingle and not the Secretary held
the rod under which you WINGED. I shall
not interfere with your satisfaction, how
ever peculiar i think IL TO be-

Mgr. satolif to VISIT Archbishop Cor

The statement is made public, and its authen-
ITCHY has been verified BY personal inquiry at
the Catholic University, where the papal lecate.
Archbishop satolli. is now residing, that Mgr.
Satoli has accepted an invitation TO become the
guest Of Archbishop Corrigan in New
York and expects to visit him some
time next week He will be enter
tanned at :he archbishop's residence
and may remain there several DAYS. II has
been known that correspondence between the
distinguished prelates has been in progress for
some time, and this happy outcome Indicates
the approach Of a complete accord where it has
been broadly iutimated that antagonism and
almost suspension of personal relations
existed.

His mother gave him pistol to keep about him
during the night for the protection Of himself

MONEY IN FORESTRY.
An Industry Which, in Time, Will Pa!
UsuriouS Interest.

An Industry Which, in Time, viii Pay
Usurious Interest.
At the present rate of consumption
the apparent supply of timber in the
United States will last for 100 years,
but an increased demand would easily
reduce the period to a century. For
ests disappear at the rate OF thou
sands Of acres annually. It takes many
years to replace this loss besides that
which may be caused by large forest
fires. There is no doubt that a good
deal of money could be made out of
land that is now idle by planting it to
forest trees. It will take q few years
for the trees to get large enough to bring
any returns, and the interest on the
money invested is the only thing lost
in the meantime. Break the sod in
June, not deeper than 2 or inches. In
August the land may be plowed length
wise of the furrow and deep enough to
turn under the old sod, leaving few
inches of clean earth on top. Either
plant the trees in the fall or wait until
the next spring, meantime rolling and
narrowing and marking the land 4 feet
apart each way. Three persons with
out much experience can plant 1880
trees in ten hours. AS they are planted
in q straight line they can be worked

clean during the first summer and IN
til the trees are large enough to take
care of themselves.-Farm and Home

CCRN CULTIVATION.
Tho So-Cailed Old Method Compared
with the New.

Tho So-Cailed Old Method Compared
with the New.
The old method of deep cultivation
up to the time the corn is too large to
run IN the rows safely with the horse
and cultivator, is being abandoned. It
IS now found that the first two
sultivations may to an advantage be
deep as weed destrovers, but after the
roots begin to run out well 10 the rows
shallow cultivation is best The dis
turbing or cutting of the roots by deep
cultivation is now considered mistake.
Breaking and checking the roots in hot
weather will surely cause the corn to
curl and appear to suffer as from pro-
tracted drought. Shallow cultivation
at the same period merely stirs the soil
above the roots and leaves the soil in
the proper loose or porous condition to
secure best growing results.
The main objects in cultivation are to
keep down the weeds and at the same
time leave the soil in a condition to
best absorb moisture and atmosphere.
Killing corn has also been done away
with by many of the best farmers. If
the corn has been planted from one and
half to two inches deep and level
culture followed, better results follow.
With level culture the corn is not so
easily blown down and stands drought
better. Timely tillage in the cornfeh
is equal to good application of
manure.
Corn responds quickly to timely cult
walton, and there is no crop that neg
lect more seriously affects than corn.
Regarding the distance apart the rows
or hills should be and how many stalks
should be left in a hill and the
distance apart the stalks should stand
in the rows, all depends on the soils
fertility. The judgment of the intelli-
gent farmer can best determine which
will be best for his land. General ad.
vice on this subject cannot be given
without knowing the characteristics OF
soils on which the corn is to grow, etc.
Regarding manures for the corn crop
it may also be said different soils re.
quire different plant foods and only
tests will determine which are best for
individual farms Colman's Rural

RIVALRY AMONG BEES.
Neen Competition Prevails Among thu
Little Honey Gatherers.

Neen Competition Prevails Among the
Little Honey Gatherers.
The thought has more than once sug-
cested itself to the writer as he has
watched a number of bees at work upon
some favorite flower whether the little
honey bearers ever strive to gain and
keep such treasures to themselves.
Anyone may convince himself that a
keen competition really prevails among
bees of all sorts toward the end of the
season, if he will take the trouble to
count the number of times in an hour
that a particular blossom is visited by
q bee, or would be visited if it contained
honey, as it is not necessary for a bee
to aIight on a flower to know that she
must go away empty. Darwin has left
1t on record. after carefully watching
certain flowers. that each one was Wis
tied by bees at least thirty times in a
day. and it cannot be supposed that the
little visitors in such circumstances find
much to reward their industry. Sir
John Lu block has also shown that they
will often visit from twenty to twenty
five flowers in minute. 1t is very in
teresting to note that on such occasions
bees always keep to the same species OF
flower during each visit to the fields

ton. So the descendants Of Columbus

tically isolated from the mighty rush

HOW TO CATCH COLTS.
The Young Animals Are Won Most Easily
by Kindness.

The Young Animals Are Won Most Easily
by Kindness.
When it is difficult to catch young
horse III pasture, go through the field
once or twice daily where he is feeding.
Walk as near as possible to him with
out disturbing him. If the horse runs,
keep straight on and pay him no atten-
ton. After a few days, when he finds
he is not chased. he will let one pass
quite near him. When this point has
been gained carry some oats or a small
dish of salt and sugar mixed in equal
quantities. and when near enough for
him to see it drop handful in a smooth
place where he can find it. and go on.
The horse will usually investigate at
once and eat what has been left for him.
After repeating this few times he
will most likely be on the watch and
instead OF running will come to meet
the dish. After accomplishing SO
much reach some grain or sugar in the
hand toward him. He will shy at first,
but afterward will approach and taste
it, very likely running away on the in
slant. Let him go, speak to him kind
II and move off in the opposite direc-
ton. Follow this up until when one
enters the pasture the horse will APP
proach him.
Always have a dainty bit for him. A
pocket full of sweet apples is an excel
lent bait, and few Jumps OF sugar
also. Let him hunt for them in the
pocket. When he comes near you push
him away carelessly, but gently. as if
You didn't care to have him quite so ia
niliar. Almost any horse can be made
so tame in short time by this method
that he will suffer himself to be caught,
provided he is approached properly

TurkcHs earring Their Young.

The frequent remark that the turkey
hen will have better success in raising
her young if she is allowed to carry
them to the fields and manage them in
her own way, is true SO far as the young
turkeys are concerned after they have
reached the age of ten or twelve weeks,
but the turkey hen is just as unfortu-
nate with very young turkeys as are the
persons who take charge OF the hens
and broods. The fact is that young
turkeys are very susceptible to damp
ness, and as they feather very rapidly
they require plenty of heterogeneous and
mineral food, which must be supplied.
IT happens that the turkey hen some
times secures a greater variety of suita-
bic food when she is running ut large
than when confined. which accounts for
her success sometimes. The greatest
loss to young turkeys is due to the large
gray lice. which work on the heads
and threats, but which cannot be seen
except by close COMMUNICATIONS
