U OF SPRAYING.
Newspaper Bulletin, No. TO-

In June OF the present year the
chronological department of the Elk
pertinent Station undertook expert
ments to determine the efficiency OF
spraying with paris green in prevent
ing the destructiveness of the codlIng
moth, the parent of the worm so in
furious to the apple crop of Nevada.
Efforts in this direction have been
made in previous years, but they have
been confined to one, or at most, a
few trees at a place. In some of these
cases the result was very satisfactory,
while in other it was but partially 90
This variation in results has without
doubt been chargeable to a lack OF
care in the application of the poison.
The results in these cases that were
satisfactory were quite apt not to be
considered as indicative of results in
field practice, owing to the small num-
Der of trees treated in each case. Thus
it was to determine the cause of for
mer failures and to make the condi-
tions of the experiment conform as
nearly as possible to those of actual
field practice that the following work
was performed.
A block of forty-eight trees in the
orchard OF A. B. Williams, on Sixth
street, Reno, was selected for treat
ment, the remaining portion OF the
orchard being left untreated 70 serve
as u check upon the work. To i'm
prove the conditions OF the experiment
in this respect the two adjacent rows
Of the two portions of the orchard are
of the same variety (the Ben Davis),
and each was well laden with fruit.
The poison used was paris green in
water mixture at the strength of one
pound to 225 gallons OF water. During
the process OF application much care
was taken that as complete mixture as
possible and thus a uniform strength,
should be maintained. While care i'll
this respect permits the fruit to receive
more nearly uniform treatment, i: is
most important in preventing the In
jury to foliage due to too great strength
of poison, which tends to settle to the
bottom of the vessel from which it is
drawn.
The first application was made June
Ist and I'd. The row Of Ben Davis
trees was given n second treatment on
June oath. The remaining trees thus
re ceived but a single application, that
of June LIST and I'd, At the time of the
first treatment the blossoms were fall
ing. On the second application the
average size of the fruit was that of a
walnut.
An examination oil the orchard in
the second week in September, when
a fairly careful observation of the trees
was made in passing from II to IN
other, resulted in there being found
less than a dozen examples of wormy
fruit on the trees which has received
the preventive treatment. The row
twice sprayed apparently had been
much benefited by the second appli.
cation.
An examination of the portion of the
the orchard not sprayed showed a
large percentage of the fruit to be
wormy. This was partscularly notice
able on the row of Ben Davis trees
adjoining that of the same variety
which was sprayed. The fallen fruit
naturally showed a greater percentage
injured, but the relative proportion Of
such in The two parts Of the orchard

THE ANNEXATION SCHEME.
President Harrison Sends His
Message to the Senate.
TREATY NOT MADE PUBLIC.
The Annexation of the Islands is
Recommended.
The Message and Correspondence Received
in Executive Session and Marked
Attention Given to Its
Reading.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The president
sent a message to the Senate this after
noon recommending the annexation Of
the Hawaiian islands to the United States.
1t was accompanied by the treaty of an
nexation concluded between the secretary
of state and the Hawaiian commissioners
and a mass of correspondence relating to
the question at issue. The treaty in brief
provides merely for the annexation of the
islands under the present provisional gov
eminent and leaving details of perma-
nent form of government, etc., to the
action of Congress. The correspondence
is very voluminous, going back many
years, and gives complete history OF the
islands so far as negotiations with the
United States are concerned.
Contrary to general expectation the
Senate, in executive session, declined to
make the treaty pubic Immediately. but
decided first to have the message and
documents printed for the confidential
information of senator's. The papers, ac-
cordingly, were sent down to the govern
meut printing office to be put in type for
the seal of secrecy will be released to-
morrow.
The message of the president and CORE
spondence was received in executive ses-
sion with attention, such as no message
from president has received in recent
years. There was no debate beyond a
few questions directed to the chairman OF
the foreign relations committee. but
every word was carefully weighed, and
the message and treaty met with almost
general approval.

MINISTER STEVENS ACTION.
The Reasons why He Assumed Control of
the Island.


the Island.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Among the
detailed dispatches received at the state
department from Honolulu is one from
Minister Stevens giving an interesting
account of the reasons which governed
him in assuming control of the island. 1t
is as follows:
/ have time before the departure of the
mail steamer only to state briefly add1-
tional reasons which caused US to assume
temporary protectorate over these
islands. The provisional government
have had no time to organize a new
policy and no discipline on the small
military force, when the monarchy died
by its own hand. There was no military
force in the islands but the royal guard,
about seventy five natives. There are
40, 900 Chinese and japanese on the islands
and evil-disposed persons might stir up
some disorder, but the chief element ofeviI
in Honolulu were renegade whites at the
head of the lottery and opium rings and a
considerable number of hoodlum foreign
ers and more vicious natives.
Another important reason is that Brit
ish war vessel is here and the English
minister thus aided might try to press
unduly the provisional government. With
the island under our protection we think
the English minister will not attempt to
insist that his government has a right to
interfere while our flag is over the gov
eminent building. In concluding the
dispatch Minister Stevens says: eve
shall continue to maintain our present
position with great caution and firmness
until we hear from the president through
the secretary of state. AS a necessity OF
precaution against all contingencies, adj
wise thats Admiral Skerrett be promptly
sent here with one or two ships in addi-
ton to the Boston,

PENSION APPROPRIATIONS.
A Warm Debate in the House
Over the Bill.
NO CONCLUSION REACHED.
The Sundry Civil Bill Is Amended in
the Senate.
Services Held in Memory of the Late
Representative Mcdonald of New
Jersey = Gold Will Not Go
to a Premium.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The House re-
sumed consideration OF the pension ap-
preparation bill. Mr.. Boutelle spoke Wig
orously against the proposed amendments
to the pension law, declaring the Union
veterans were not safe in the hands OF the
party about to come into power, with
headquarters south of Mason and Dixons
line. The records of Congress showed
that.
Mr.. Oates replied warmly to Mr.. Bou-
telle's remarks, saying his charges were
unfortunate and ill-founded. No gentle
man would charge him or any other ex-
confederate with opposing proper pen
sion to any Union soldier who was worthy
of it. He regretted that the gentleman
from Maine had exhibited the bloody
shirt to the House.
Mr.. Cummings earnestly opposed the
proposed legislation, addressing himself
principally to the amendment withdraw
ing the pension of widows who were not
married within five years after the end OF
the war. This legislation he denounced
as bull-headed, brutal and bratal-hearted.
After further debate general discussion
closed and the bill was read for amend
ments. The first was that of transferring
the pension bureau from the interior to
the war department. Points of order
were raised against this and other amend
ments of the committee and without
action on any of them the House ad-
| journed.
The Senate bill giving General Double
days widow $50 a month pension was
passed by the House in the morning
hour.

THE HOP EXHIBIT.
A Statement Showing the Worlds Supply
and Demand for Hops.

A Statement Showing the Worlds Supply
and Demand for Hops.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Feb. 15.-The New
York Homestead publishes complete ex-
hibit of the worlds supply and demand
for hops for the current season ending
Aug. 81, 1898. The exact shortage of the
worlds supply is 8, 500, 600 pounds, which
must be made up by consumption of old
stock and there will be enough on hand
for the purposes. There is an estimated
shortage of 6 600 900 pounds in the Eng
lish supply and England has yet to Sc
cure enough hops to meet the demand be-
fore the season ends. 1t is noteworthy
that while every effort is made to keep the
price of American hops below Is cents per
pound, foreign hops have been imported
at cost of 80 cents in addition to the
duty thus shown. The American brewers
are willing to pay fully So cents Tor for-
eign hops while they begrudge % cents
for American hops, which are infinitely
superior to the imported article, which
are mostly cheap Russian growth re-
packed in Germany and labeled as choice
Bavarian hops especially for export trade.
The output of beer in this country has in
creased by 500, 900 barrels during the first
four months OF the present season ending
Jan. l. 1893.

Acted Upon.

The Sundry Civil Bill Amendments Are
Acted Upon.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-In the Senate
today the Nicaragua canal bill gave way
to the sundry civil appropriation bill
amendments allowing the widows of Chief
Justice Waite and Justice Miller OF the
Supreme Court the balances of their hus-
bands salaries for the year of death
Us, 745 aad 81, 419) were agreed to. The re-
served amendments were taken up, the
first being series for defense of the
Worlds Columbian exposition.
Mr.. Quay offered an amendment maxim 6
all appropriations for the exposition
conditional on Sunday closing.
Mr.. Allison said it was only reduction
of part of the legislation OF last year,
every provision of which had been coupled
with that assurance.
The Quay amendment and all commit
tee amendments as to the Worlds fair
were then agreed to.
The next series of reserved amendments
were those for the improvement of rivers
and harbors. A long discussion ensued,
turning largely on the advantages of con
tinuing the contract system, and it was
still going on when one OF the secretaries
of the president appeared as the bearer OF
message. AS soon as it reached the
vice president, Mr.. Sherman knowing it
related to Hawaii, moved to proceed to
executive business. The motion was
agreed to and when the doors were re-
opened business was suspended while SER
vices were held in memory of the late Re-
preventative Mcdonald of New Jersey,
and then the Senate adjourned.

HEAVY DEFALCATION.
A Suit for Damages Discloses a Short
age in Piano Firm.

A Suit for Damages Discloses a Short
age IN Piano Firm.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Mrs. Garafella
o. Chickering has begun action in the
the supreme court to recover $50, 900
from George H. Chickering, brother-in-
law and senior member of Chickering &
Sons, piano manufacturers. She is the
widow of Charles Chickering, and claims
that at the time of his death he possessed
459 chares OF the Piano company and the
firm owed him sic, GOO besides. In the ca
pacity of executrix she sold the stock and
the SIG, Zoo claim to George for $50, 900, but
he never paid her.
In answering the allegations George ac-
knowledged that he made the agreement,
but says when he examined the affairs of
the company he made such remarkable
discoveries that he refused to pay over
the money; that the corporation had a
claim of 81 200 above the $4,000 claimed
by Mrs. Chickering and his brother owed
still more to the firm. The total defalca-
ton amounted to $232, 737.
Just before dying, Charles agreed to
pay half the amount if his brother would
not bring proceedings against him. Mrs.
Chickering made motion for a referee,
which the judge denied, saying the case
would be tried in open court.

TOPEKA, Feb. 15.-At 10 O'Clock Cover
nor Lewelling appeared at the door of the
house and asked admittance. He was
permitted to enter and as he made his ap-
pearaDce the members rose in respect. He
made an impressive speech. CT came, ,"
he said, ''not as governor of the state to
order you from the hall; came to you as
man and entreat you as citizens of
Kansas and men of honor to surrender to
the legal authority OF the state and vacate
the hall - Continuing, he said: "Events
of the past two days seemed to have robbed
both sides of their reason and the situa-
ton is SO strained that the slightest Incl
sdent might lead to conflict and blood
shed. -
The speaker pro tenn. here interrupted
the governor to ask If it would not be fair
for each side to agree to vacate the hall
pending settlement of the difficulty?
The governor said he would consider no
compromise and no appeal by the Repub-
licans. If the Republicans would not
surrender then he would be forced to
order the militia to drive them from the
hall at the point of the bayonet.
A voice from the seats asked evil you
abide by the decision of the courts?'
The governor declined to reply and left
the hall.

accompanied the governor said he had
come with the governor from confer
ence between committee of citizens and

GRESHAM'S HONESTY.
He Is Most Courageous in His COnvic-
tons OF Right and Wrong.
He Could Have Been Nominated in 1888
If 1t Had Not Been for His
Tariff Views.

CROWN POINT, Ind, Feb. 15.-As an
answer to the charge that Judge Gresham
is guilty of political perfdy in accepting
the portfolio OF state under Cleveland,
Judge E. G. Field, delegate to the Re-
publican convention of 1888, who voted
for Gresham on every ballot, declares him
the truest OF friends, and most courageous
where his convictions of right and wrong
are concerned that he ever knew, and
gives bit of inside history OF that con-
vention to prove it. He said: The charge
was industriously made against his
loyalty to extreme tariff views then
espoused by his adversaries In conven-
ton. 1t was deemed expedient to have
the Chicago Inter Ocean publish an ed1-
torial on Thursday morning of the first
week of the convention, putting at rest
all doubts of the position of the Judge on
this question. Accordingly the COM
mittee, late at night, laid the matter be-
fore Editor William Penn Nixon, who
proceeded to pen an editorial on the lines
indicated. AS the committee was about
to depart Mr.. Nixon said:
s'Of course you have seen the Judge and
have obtained his consent?'
We said we had not, but would vouch
for his approval of it.
He said: 'sThat won't do; guess you
don t know the judge very we'll.
So the committee went to the Palmer
house, routed Judge Gresham from his
slumbers, explained the matter to him,
assuring him that the publication of the
editorial with his sanction would insure
his nomination and election. He stood
before us in his white robe, the embodi-
ment of purity. There was pause for a
moment and the Judge looked handsomer
and drawer than 1 ever saw him, and then
he said
81 appreciate your friendship and the
good offices you are performing in my be-
half, but president or no president, you
cannot publish that editorial by my au-
thority because do not believe in it. 1t
is better that should not be nominated
than commit myself to that doctrine"
The editorial was not published.

NO CHOICE IN WYOMING.
Thompson Lacked Only One Vote of EIec-
ton on Yesterday.


CHEYENNE. Wy, FEB. 15.-The twenty
fourth senatorial ballot taken today was
the most exciting of the session. John
Charles Thompson, Democrat, received
twenty-four votes, twenty being from the
Democrats and four from the Populists.
One vote more would have elected him.
George T. Beck, Democrat, received four
teen votes, thirteen from the Republicans
and one Democrat; William Brown, Pop
ulist, received one vote; E. Warren, Re-
publican, seven; G. D. Clark, Republican,
two.
The one Democrat refusing to vote for
Thompson and who defeated his election
was Nat Baker, who has been engineering
Beck's campaign. Baker and Beck are
receiving Republican congratulations,
while the Democrats are very bitter to-
ward both. The Republicans are now
confident that they will either elect the
senator with the help of Populists or con-
tinue the deadlock to the end of the SEES
sion, which lasts but three days.

MITCHELL INTERVIEWED.
He Is Still an Adept at Fighting with His
Jaw.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-In the morning
the World will print the following inter
view with Mitchell, the English prize
fighter. The first bit of news that Mitch
ell heard was that the Corbett people had
put up $40, coo. "That's good" he ex-
claimed, ''and 1 shall cover the money
tomorrow. / came here for the purpose
of making a match which will decide the
championship of the world. The condi-
tions named by Corbett are perfectly
agreeable to me. -
E'When do you care to fight?" was
asked.
SIN six weeks if necessary, or any
reasonable time for that natter Mitchell
replied with some spirit. My money
has been in London but that makes little
difference. I'n have Corbett's money
covered inside of twelve hours"
care there any conditions you care to
impose?''
'sNone,'' he added. GAN I want is
that the fight shall be conducted in a fair
and square sportsmanlike manner.
know there are hundreds of sportsmen in
America and l shall let them judge
whether my statements are fair or not"
''Have you any preference as to the
club before which this fight shall take
place?''-
ssConey Island, New Orleans or San
Francisco will suit me- said Mitchell.
''There shall be no dilly- dallying about
that, promise you. My hacker, Mr.. Alb
ingdon, is here ready to back me for any
amount of money. As for stories to the
effect that 1 intend to make money
! by giving boxing exhibitions in
America there is absolutely nothing in
that. shall not give single show be-
4 fore the fight. Although many people
don't like me in this country 1 feel per-
fectly at home here, for honorable sports
men, with whom l dealt, are my friends.
When 1 fought Sullivan in France l made
many enemies, who said ran away and
all that bosh. In this match no such
thing will occur, and 1 am willing to
fight Corbett in a 12-foot ring or smaller
still If he likes, and I'll not run away
either, he may depend on that.
ellis preference to making a match with
me as against Jackson pleases me in
mensely, but his reasons given are alb
surd. If he is so anxious to whip me for
acting in an ungentleman1y manner he
had an excellent chance at Miners thea
tire that night. Better still, he has
chance now to defend his title. 1 want
to fight Corbett in a reputable club with
a fair referee, and fight within reason
able length of time are my only condi-
| TONS"
