NC RAE'S RESCUE SCHEME
HE THINKS HE CAN GET THE
MIOWERA OFF.
He Proposes to Fill Her Bow Compart
ments with Water and u Sc Sam.
son Poles as Levers.

Mr.. McRae thinks he can fl at the
M,owera and has laid his plan before
the agents He showed a chart of it
to a STAR reporter this morning. This
displays the ship with several sans n
poles made fast to her side in per
pendicular firm, ard resting on the
reef, from the tops Of which poles are
rop.s running down to the steamers
deck through l~rge blocks. When the
f.rward C"mp2rtmcnts If the vessel are
filled with water and the stern Ct the
hull thereby raised, Mr.. McRae thinks
that a leverage can be secured with
the poles which will bring the ship for
ward into deep water
OF course anchors will be kept out
forward and all the power possible will
be exerted to keep a steady strain on
the chains.
That, in brief, is Mr. McRae's
scheme, and Notwithstanding the fact
that Captain Stutt told the reporter
that he was in ignorance of any prac-
tical plan advanced by either McRae or
anyone else, it was known that the
parties interested had been off to the
ship in company with Captain Stott
and had spent some time there, and
within a few minutes after the Captain
had said there was nothing whatever
in the story, he WIS seen attentjvely
examining the drawing.
So far as known the agents have not
decided to adopt the plan, but that
they are considering the matter there
can be but little doubt, as Mr.. McRae
informed the STAR representative that
he thought the device would be adopted
if the necessary tackle could be obtained
in the city.
The Miowera moved very slightly
forward last night, according to many
of those who have watched her closely,
but upon this point statements vary,
some denying that the vessel has moved
at all, and others being equtly certain
that she has.
This afternoon the anchor off the
StarbOard quarter is to be raised and
carried off the bows, and 2Io fathoms
of chain between the steamer and
anchor will greatly aid in helping her
off the rock.
Some of the Portuguese longshore-
men have advanced the idea Of floating
the vessel by means Of alright water
casks made fast to her sides at low tide
VIII eh, it is said, would ex,rt a great
lifting influence when the tide rose.
That is the way the steamer Kilauea
was fl attd at Kawalhae, some twenty
years ago, afteI having laid on the reef
about three months.

quietly, but everything looked SO clean
and nice and so neat that not even
little bit of bug could be found in its
precincts. Very little was found on
DR. Pratts or General Hartwel's
premises, and the army started further
down the valley. The scouts reported
p. c. Jones place in sight shortly
afterwards and advised a rapid
advance as he had corraled all his
insects and was about to be placed in
vault with a time lock on it. The
toads got there just in time and cap
tured any quantity Of the enemy on
their way to the safe deposit vaults.
The next place they attacked was J. +.
Warehouses;. Undeterred by the
numerous iron lions, tigers and dogs
guarding that place, they cleaned out
every insect in 1t in thirty-6ve minutes
by the watch. The Eagle House was
the next place raided, the scouts hav
ing reported that Tommy Krouse gen.
orally put up good bill Of fare. 1t
did not take long to devour all the fat
and juicy insects about that house, and
a serious attack was contemplated on
the menagerle when word as sent in by
the scouts that S. NJ. Damon had been
boarding up big surplus of bugs on
his place for months past. The army
Immediately marched to his premise S
and the attack on the surplus began.
1t lasted all night, but was undimin.
ished in quantity. The toads were
astonished at their inability to reduce
it, and when day broke they retired to
cover to rest and recuperate after a
nights work"
At this point Mr.. Marsden awoke
with that tired feeling.

THE TALE OF COMPROMISE.

Our friends the enemy persist in
the statement that a compromise be-
tween the Government and the
Royalists was being made when the
STARS commonwealth rumor and
anotherpaper' "Neumann and Brown
expose" caused the high contracting
parties to seek the underbrush. Both
Royalist journals insist upon the
validity Of this tale but it is plain
that they can cite no witnesses and
marshal no proofs. In fact the
Bulletin admits that no evidence
exists but says that some might have
been procured but for the fact that
the alarm rattle was sprung too
soon.
After the most searching inquiry
the STAR is convinced that no one
with authority to act for the Govern
ment or for the Annexation party
which organized and installed the
Executive and Legislative bodies,
has ever proposed a compromise of
the sort described or of any sort
whatever. The denial of Acting
President Hatch is conclusive and
the fact that such radical procedure
would not have been countenanced
during the absence of President
Dole also has an important bearing
1t is half way possible that some one
in the lower branches of the Govern
ment had the bright idea that oil ant
water could be made to mix in poll
tics and that he whispered a few in
quiries on the subject among hi
Royalist friends, 1t is even doubt
full that so much as this was at
tempted; and it is not a violen
postulate withal, that some of tn,
fatigued Monarchist adherents wer
themselves the ones to suggest tn
experiment for reasons Of persona
ambition and advantage.
But truce to theories. The fac
remains that there can be no com
promise that will surrender one vita
position gained in the January over
turn. That affair meant business
The Government then formed had
definite purpose before it and tina
purpose will be held to by the Presl
dent and Cabinet with courage AM
tenacity. Should it become advis
able to form a Commonwealth as
means of Strengthening the safe
guards of civilized rule until condi
tons of union with America ar
wholly favorable, perhaps that ma
be done; but in such a Government
Royalty would find no place to in
trigue and no power to harm.
There stands in defence of all tina
was won last January a wise, firm
patriotic and successful Government
Back of that are the lines of the An
nexation Club-the republican War
wicks of the time. Neither wi
countenance a truce, an armistice,
division or a surrender. They ar
here for annexation.

POTASH AGRICULTURE.

We have received On interesting little
pamphlet entitled potash in Fertilizer"
This phamphlet Is in the main O careful
compilation Of results OF crop expert
ments with potash salts and is collected
from the publications of Experiment
Stations. 1t has been written for the
purpose of enabling the cultivatOr to
study the effects of potash upon crops in
various sections and soils of the country.
A glance at the contents OF the phamph-
let will show that potash plays an im-
portant part in the nutrition of plants,
and from the emphatic statements OF
Prof. Whitcher, of New Hampshire. Prof.
Atwater, Of Connecticut, Prof. Scovell, of
Kentucky and others, it must be con-
Guided that the amount OF potash used
upon the farm has been insufficient and
the disappointment in the use OF arti-
fetal manures were mainly due to this
fact.
TIE text of the pamphlet is arranged
under various headings, indicating the
crops upon which the effect OF potash has
been studied. Potash, while needed for
all cultivated crops, has been found es-
pecially beneficial to corn, tobacco, hemp
sorghum, fruit-trees, etc. Experiments
are also quoted showing the effects of
potash salts, and especially of kainit, as
insecticides and fungicides, destroying
wire worms, scales, grubs, ETC., and en-
tirely preventing the much dreaded
''cotton blight" A special chapter is
added to the pamphlet, in which the
principles OF potash fertilization are
briefly discussed and the quantities to
be applied per acre given.
The publication contains instructive
illustrations copied from the Experiment
Station Bulletins, which show the effect
of potash upon corn, hemp and potatoes
end the effect of kainit against "cotton
blight"
The pamphlet deserves thecareful study
OF every intelligent farmer who wishes to
derive profit from the use of fertilizers,
and we will mail a copy OF same free to
anyone who desire it.

FLORIDA'S FRUIT EXHIBIT.

AS the most progressive fruit growers
in the State-the men who grow the f.
nest fruit-are in session at Pensacola,
we think it an excellent opportunity TO
take concerted action in reference to a
fruit display at the Worlds Fair.
We know that this is a very bad time
to collect such an exhibit; and We fear
it will not be entirely representative of
our great industry. Still if every one
will do little we can make q very at
tractive display. There is some nice
fruit still ON the trees, and the cold stor-
age facilities at the fair, we have been
told, are perfect.
Let every member of the Horticultural
Society pledge himself to give the incest
fruit he has, and we think the display
may be made the redeeming feature of
the Florida exhibit.
