New York. Feb. 27.-The court of in
quiry ordered to investigate the wreck
of the Kearsarge re-convened in the
court martial room of the Brooklyn
navy yard today. There was one extra
ordinary scene to mark the days pro-
ceedings. Capt. Heyermen broke down
while telling the story of the wreck, and
the courtroom was cleared until he
could control his emotions. Heyerman
was asked If he had saved any Of the
ships records, particularly the rough"
and Smooth log books. Il mada fwo
attempts" said he, after the vessel
struck to save the log-pooks. as well as
the night order book. knowing they
would be wanted as exhibits in the in
vestigation which / knew would follow.
l was, however. only able to save my
llfe."
Questioned as to his confidence in the
charts and instruments on board of the
Kearsarge, the commander said: II
had no doubt as to the accuracy of the
charts and instruments on board. The
night sextant was little out Of gear,
but the other instruments were in per-
feet condition.
Heyerman answering Judge Advocate
Kellys questions said he had been in
the navy since 1861, and had command
ed the Yantic, Kearsarge and Pensacola.
II was sure the Kearsarge was so far
to the north Of Roncador Reef that
was well clear of It," said he.
What was the discrepancy" asked
the judge advocate, between the point
where you really were and where you
thought you were when the ship
struck?'
About six miles to the southward
and four miles to the eastward of the
point where supposed we were from
our reckoning"
While referring to the exemplary con-
duct Of the officers and crew while lying
at the wharf, as well as all during the
trying days on the Key. Heyerman be-
came visibly affected at the recollec-
tion of the mems apparent deep respect
and love for him. Recalling this devo-
tion on the part of the crew proved too
much for the bronzed commander, and
his mouth twitched at the corners and
big tears welled up into his eyes. He
finally had to stop, owing to his enlb-
tions.

Washington, Feb. 27-The remains Of
the Kearsarge will be raised from Rom

naval affairs has it's way. Today the
committee voted to report favorably the
bill of Blair, of New Hampshire, but
was more generous than Blair proposed.
While his bill would appropriate $780,
OOO the committee decided to raise the
sum to $4,000. with the proviso that the
wrecking company shall receive not to
exceed $4,000 if the attempt is o failure.
Several proposals for raising the Kear-
sarge have been made, wrecking COM

would be perfectly feasible one.

ton formed by veterans who served on
the Kearsarge during the war. 1t is
called the Kearsarge Association of
Naval Veterans The survivors intend
to collect mementoes OF the old vessel
and when the organization comes to an
end, they will be given to the Smith

Secretary Herbert today sent Cum

affairs. a letter endorsing the project
for rescuing the Iearsarge. The secre-
tary urged than any action toward the
rescue be taken at once.
Bland demanded that the silver de-

rescue and other projects would have
to wait until the silver bill is disposed

was consulted by the editor Of the
Farmers Advocate, yas, Of course,
whether there was any danger Ut tR-
Producing into Canada any new pests
which would afterwards give trouble
either Ia the field or in the granary.
In my opinion, Comedian farmers need
have no anxiety Oh this scores fqg
both Of the pests have already from
time TO tins been imported from the
south with various KINDS Of grain, but
k4ys failed to propagate and become
established; This is due to the fact
that they are tropical insects, which,
although they are very injurious ia
the southern states, cannot exist for
aag length Of time in our climate.
"The eFanary weeYils are small
brown beetles, q little more than s1e-
eighth Of an inch In length, which lay
their eggs in holes which they bore
by means of slender beal1 in the dry
grain. When young grubs hatch, they
complete their growth Rpa turn to
beetles again inside the grain wheFe
the egg was laid. BY this time they
have eaten out all the interior OF tho
kernel The beetles then emerge and
continue the work of destruction.
When grain is kept in store for long
time, this injury may be considerable
in hot climates; but in Canada the
cold of our winters stops their devel'
opment and destroys the beetles.
THE fly weevil' has never developed

instances Of its occurrences have been
brought to my notice. In the south

the moths fly from the granaFies and
lay their eggs upon the ripe grain IN
the fields; the eggs of young caterpil-
lars are thus carried back again into
the grannry, ard frequently are the
cause of much loss. This never takes
place in Canada.
Remedy: Should grain at any time
be found to be infested by these In
scots, often repeated experiment has
shown that the insects can be easily
and cheaply destroyed by treating it
with bisulphide or carbon, in the
same way that peas are now regularly

Now Potato Pest Discovered.

A foreign account is given of the
appearance in Schleswig- Holstein last
summer of stalk borer of the potato.
The larvae enters the stalk near the
ground, eating it's way upward
through the stem or downward into
the roots, causing the destruction Of
the plant. The mature butterfly is
described as thirty-two to forty mill
meters across the wings NEARLY one
and one-half inches), of clear red
dish brown or copper color, with dark
border spots. The larvae is common
on glyceria, atriplcx, earex, iris, reeds
and the roots of petasites. 1t is as
sumed that it is likely to become de-
structivo to the potato, No means of
repression are suggested.
