Statistics concerning the failures of
farmers in the first six months of 1898
throw bright lights on the present de-
preston of agriculture in England.
From last January TO last July the
number of failures among farmers has
been forty per cent. larger than in the
corresponding months of last year In
England and Wales more than 16, 600
persons engaged in agriculture are Inv
ing in sheds, barns, tents, vans and in
the open fields. Thousands of unem-
ployed agricultural laborers are hover
ing on the outskirts of London. In
the same volume of statistics 50, 4S4
persons are reported to be living now
on coasting merchant vessels and in
land barges

Evidence of the most direct variety
places the blame for the destruction of
the British battle ship Victoria on the
Admiral who went down with his ship,
states the Washington Star. All the
witnesses who testified before the
court-martial at Valetta agree on that
and every other material point and
two of the officers heard Sir George
Tryon confess the responsibility. In
all great catastrophies there is gener-
ally an effort made to place the burden
on a corpse, and when Admiral Tryon
was first declared guilty many people
imagined that the accusation was due
almost entirely to the fact that he was
dead and could not, therefore, defend
himself, but it is now certain that he
blundered and did so with persistence
that brooked no interference.

In other days the great area called
Okefonokee Swamp in Southern
Georgia was looked upon as utterly
irreclaimable and worthless. 1t was
lately sold by the State for sixteen
cents per acre and an enterprising
company of lumbermen has penetrated
the supposed swamp and found it to be
small inland sea with rich islands. 1t
is strange, muses. the New York News,
that this mystery was not developed
long ago. Many a time the old wild
cat banking system was satirized by
bogus issues of the "Bank of Oke-
fonokee."

At the moment when horses have
taken back seat in this country cam
els have come to the fore in Australia.
1t is said that five lines of traffic have
been already opened up and are in
regular operation there. Two thou
sand camels are in use daily. II is not
necessary to carry any food for these
animals, as they are able to subsist on
the coarse grass and shrubs where
horses or bullocks would starve.

Doctor Edward Everett Hale has not

words. In the morning dictate to
my amanuensis 1900 words. am in

1t is satisfactory to the Scientific
American to learn that the gentlemen
who have urged the New York botani.
cal garden project are nearly now in a
condition financially able to begin ac-
tual preliminary work near the Bronx
River AT least the sum of S215, 900
has been received. There are several
large subscriptions yet expected from
wealthy citizens, and when these are
received it is probable the general
public will be asked TO contribute.
There will be no pains or expense spared
to make the garden worthy of the State
and of the Nation. Kew Garden is the
model which the far-seeing men who
have undertaken the charge of this en-
terprise have in view, and there Is
every reason to believe that their Of

Not the least interesting portion Of
the newspapers of New York, to the
San Francisco Argonaut, is that which
describes the efforts of the benevolent
to better the condition of the women
and children of the poor. In New
York, before there were any such ex-
cursions, the mortality among the
children of the working-class was
enormous. 1t has been greatly re-
duced since they came into vogue.

Says the Chicago Herald "Secre-
tary of State Walter Q. Gresham, will
go down to history as the first member
of the Cabinet who became acting
President in consequence of the ina
bility of both the President and Vice
President. On the same day in July
President Cleveland and Vice-Presi-
dent Stevenson were both out of the
country. Mr.. Cleveland was on board
the.yaeht Oneida, sailing out TO find
deep sea fishing off the coast of Massa-
chusetts. Mr.. Stevenson was on the
steamer Corona, taking a Pacific
Ocean voyage from San Diego to San
ia Barbara, Cal. Both were more
than three marine leagues, or say, ten
and half miles, from shore, which is
the limit of the jurisdiction of the
United States 1t cannot be said they
we're the same as on United States soil,
being on United States vessels and un-
der the United States flag for, if be-
ing on such a craft was the same as being
on the land, they might have sailed
around the world, claiming to be all
the time in the United States. Per
haps Mr.. Gresham did not assume the
duties of acting President, but that he
was the legal acting President while
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Stevenson both
were ten and half miles from shore
does not admit OF doubt"

The pure Arab horse is now being
largely used in England to invigorate
the race horse, the hunter and the
carriage horse. He is also used for
the production of the best class of polo
ponies by being matched with small
Exmoor and Welsh mares. In those
districts where he is obtainable he is
in great demand by the breeders.

Observes the Detroit Free Press:
"There is certain amount of scientific
interest in knowing that it is not the
high temperature that makes the peo-
pie uncomfortable, but the humidity
with which the air is charged. But un-
fortunately the scientific fact does not
lessen the suffering. One is just as hot
after finding it out as when he was in
total ignorance on the point. y

THE case of Alejandro Gonzales, father in-law of Catrino Garza, the Mexican revolutionary leader, came up for trial in the United States Court at San Antonio, Texas, on the 23d ut. The charge against the accused being a violation of the neutrality laws of the United States. It was expected that he would stand trial, but when arraigned a plea of guilty was entered. He was fined $1 300 and the costs. The costs were about s3,OOO. Gonzales owns an extensive ranch in Nneces coun- ty, and has several thousand head of cattle.

THE Interior Department, wheth- CT intentional or not, has made one good selection as Indian agent. Lieut.. Hummer, agent for the Nav ajoes, appears to be the right man in the right place. He went to the San Juan country, where the In- dians have been running things with high hand, murdering and robbing as their fendish natures dictated. The Lieutenant first de- manded the murderer of Welsh, who was murdered at Jewett, N. M., a few months ago. He was imme- diately surrendered and turned over to the civil authorities. He then
 visited the camp of Black Horse, one of the worst sub-chiefs of the Navajo tribe, who spat in the face of Agent Shipley some three months ago, and demanded the Indians who had robbed Hyde and Dough

erty. They, too, were brought il
 and surrendered. It did not takt
 Black Horse long to discover that
 the new agent meant business and
 intended to enforce his demands.
 After this had been accomplished
 he gave them plain talk in unmis-
 takable language. He told them
 that they had to remain on the south side of the San Juan river :; that they had been stealing and killing, but from now on it had to stop, and he was going to see that it did stop; that he was coming af- ter them wherever they did wrong :; that he was going to require all of ficers of the law to arrest and jail all Indians caught off the reserva- tion. Said one who was present "It would be impossible to tell all he did say, but it was such a talk as these people have never had made to them before." Lieutenant Hummer has evidently been on the frontier long enough to know some thing of Indians as they are, and does not take much stock in Coop er's aborigines. All such Indians died with Leather Stockings. If other agents would follow Lieut.. Plummer's example, the poor de- graded whites might have some rights which "the noble red man" would be bound to respect.

A WITcHITA, Kansas, dispatch of the 26th ut. says: By preconcert- ed arrangement between the may ors of the towns of Wellington, Ar kansas City, Wingield, Caldwell, South Haven, Hutchinson and New ton, a bombardment of the heavens began at noon yesterday. In a short time clouds commenced to form and gather, and within two hours from tie beginning of the explosions drenching rain began to pour down and continued with out cessation fully four hours. The country for several miles beyond the radius of those towns was de- luged by the heaviest rain which has fallen in this section for the past eight months.

Arizona has many wonderful re- sources, and Yuma seems to pro- duce her quota of the wonders, each succeeding one of which is more attractive than the last. The Times is responsible for the following, and we presume that paper is prepared to produce proof on all of its state ments: Our lemons and Hines have become famous. Our genial and unparalleled climate is known the world over. Childless couples are gladdened after a short residence here. Our river water contains more fertillzing material than the Ganges or Nile. But that is not all. A woman sixty-five years of age, whose hair is white, has begun to cut a new set of teeth, and her hair is returning to it's original raven hue. The lady in question is a Mexican by birth and has lived here for twenty-five years, has numerous children and grandchildren. The facts have been related to The Times by several of her acquaintances, who aver that they are true. Now if we can getsome bald-headed man to start new crop of hair, we shall see such another boom that all oth- CT booms will be in the shade.

MOre Mexican Justice.

A victim of Mexican justice is now in the city-Emile Goldbaum a former Tucsonite.
 He was working on the Mexican Central road, on a freight train One day, through stupidity, a whole Mexican family, father. mother and two daughters, stepped between two cars just as they were coming swift. ly together for Goldbaum to make the coupling. They were caught, ot course, the whole family, and all ot them killed. It was sad affair, but also a bad one for the train hands.
 In Mexico when a person is kill ed by train, no matter what the circumstances, the whole crew are arrested.
 This crew were therefore not de- sirous of tarrying. The engine was at once uncoupled, the conductor jumped aboard, and, without wait ing for Goldbaum, away they went, swiftly as the locomotive could take them, to a seaport. They subse- quently reached the United States in safety.
 Goldbaum saw it was useless to flee. He was soon in the barracks awaiting trial. He was allowed cer- tain liberties on furnishing bonds, which he easily obtained-the con- fnement in a large court yard. Here he was kept for nine months.
 Then he was advised by his bonds men to flee, which, releasing him from obligations to them, he lost no time in doing. He was soon in country where they do not imprison railroad men for accidents caused by the stupidity or carelessness of victims.-Tucson Citizen.

An Ugly Afray.

! A seduction affair that may de
 velop into charge of rape occurret
 last night. Three strapping younI 1 Mexicans took charge of a hous, belonging to an old man named Navarete, where lived also Maya rete's wife and adopted daughter lConcepcion Nazarete, twelve years old. At least the girl claims she i; but twelve. She is large for thai age.
 From the story of the old man up to the time that he remembered no more, connected with the story of the woman, and what the girl can remember of it, it seems three Mex jeans, Aaisto Cruz, Cerlos Trusado and Jaun Martinez, full of drink and more in bottles, went to Maya rete's house, became hilarious, and made the old man and the girl drunk.
 Then much against the protesta- tions of the woman, they took the girl from the house by force. In the course of the affray the old man and the woman were both struck by the Mexicans...
 Officers were called, and the girl and Cruz, both quite drunk, were found in bed in house three blocks from the Navarete place.
 The affair is likely to be a pretty serious one for the Mexicans. They have already been given sentences in the recorders court for disturb ing the peace, and on expiration of their sentence will have to answer to warrants on the charge of seduc- ton. Possibly also a charge ot rape may be sustained. Either are grand jury ofenses.
 Before the recorder Martinez and Cruz plead guilty and were given seven days. Trusado plead not guilty was convicted and got ten days.-Tucson Citizen.

A SPECIAL from Granada, Nicara. qua, dated the 22d ult. says: The revolutionary soldiers stood bravely against the attack of Sacaza's sol. diers yesterday and won a battle which is admitted to be the turning point of the revolution. AS the Government army advanced toward Mazaya the artillery of the insur- gents opened fire. The advance was temporarily checked, but the col umns were reformed and the assault was renewed with vigor and deter imitation. Their charge was inef- fective. The insurgent troops push ed bravely into the struggle, and af- ter a hot fight forced the Govern ment soldiers to retire. The reyo. lutionists are rejoicing over their victory and predict the early over throw of Sacaza.
