BRITAIN BACKS DOWN.

Bluefields "Incident" Will BE Settled
by the Diplomates.
The British lion has fled in dismay from
the angry scream of the American eagle,
and the Bluefelds incident" that threat
ened to involve England and the United
States in most serious quarrel is in pro-
cess of swift and peaceful settlement
upon terms which will be entirely salts
factory to this country. The State De-
partment is not yet in receipt of official
information from Minister Bayard, but
from the tenor of preliminary negotiation
it is satisfied that the British are about
to formally renounce all pretense Of right
to mix into Nicaraguan affairs and draw,
off permanently. The electric sudden
against what was felt to be dangerous
and untenable claim on the part of the
British Foreign Office, hateful to every
patriotic American instinct, startled the
phlegmatic Englishmen into unusual ac-
tiyity. Swift denial of hostile intent en-.
sued, followed quickly by unofficial but
authoritative notice of retreat from the
position sought to be occupied, and the
war cloud is passing away. The details
of the proceeding only remain to be ar
ranged, diplomatic process that will
take time. but it is safe to assume that
England has already abandoned hope of
being able to utilize the Mosquito strip
as club to hold over the projected Near
aqua canal. The bluff was made and
called, and the incident is already consid-
cred as good az closed. This most happy
conclusion of the Bluefelds matter has
caused smile to suffuse the face of the
administration.

Entire Issue of $4,000, 900 Bonds
Taken by the Banks.
Secretary Carlisle has decided to accept
the Stewart syndicate of bids for the en-
tire new issue of $50, 100000 per cent
bonds. The figure offered by the syndi-
cate was 117077. The following official
statement concerning the acceptance of
the syndicate's proposal was made at the
Treasury:
"The Secretary of the Treasury has
accepted the proposal Of John A. Stewart,
president of the United States Trust Com
pany, and his associates to purchase the
entire issue of per cent bonds, amount
ing to $5O,0O0,OOO, at 117.077, and ac-
crued interest from November 1. The
proceeds of the bonds under this bid will
be $49,517.62 greater than they would be
If the other highest bids were accepted.
A very important advantage to the Gov
eminent in accepting this bid is the fact
that all the gold will be furnished outside,
and none drawn from the treasury. 1t Is
also more convenient, and less expensive
to the department, to deal with one party
rather than with many"

Ar THE FEAST OF THANKS
GIVING.

Does plenty throng your neighbours gates,
And many lamp blaze merrily,
While toll like lean mistress waits
To dole your wage out charilyi
Though lingering sickness haunt your
bed,
Hope like changeling turn to dread,
And sorrow skulk behind.
Yetwhen the yearly feast Is spread,
Eat with thankful mind!
Not for broad lands and gold, wis,
Fat crops and ripening weather,
Our fathers in the wilderness
Knelt and praised God together:
When the grim forests icy bound
With hardship hemmed the wanderers
round,
When danger lurked behind
Nay, in deaths very teeth, they found
Faith and thankful mindl

Iron Here and in England.

Secretary Morton is convinced, as
result of his visit to Europe, that the
seat of empire in the world of iron and
steel is to be transferred from England
to the United States in the near future.
He learned while IL London that the
supply of hematite ore in Spain on which
the English have been drawing is nearly
exhausted. At best the ore is only 40
per cent pure on an average, and the
haul to the British blast furnaces is
long one. In the United States we have
in the Lake Superior region a practi-
cnlly inexhaustible supply of hematite
ores averaging 60 per cent, and this can
be delivered to the iron and steel mills
of Chicago, Cleveland and other lake
cities by a short all-water haul. For
these reasons Secretary Morton believes
the United States will soon pass Great
Britain in the output of iron and steel,
and we may soon outbid our rival in
the markets of the world.

The annual report of Secretary Smith OF
the Interior Department deals largely
with Indian affairs, and he presents some
practical suggestions for the development
and civilization of the Sacs. Besides
giving a succinct history of the progress
of the Indian Bureau during the last
twelve months. the Secretary reviews the
problem of effective work for the ad-
vancement of the Indians. He discusses
the subject of education, and of allotment
of lands in severalty, and urges that the
education of the Indians should be for
the purpose of fitting them to perform
the particular responsibilities most likely
to fall to their after lot. He presents
the possibilities of the reservation as land
to be improved and developed to which
the Indians could be taught to apply
those modes of agriculture recognized In
civilized life. Their education should fit
them for this work, and they should be
led on with the assurance that the Gov
eminent dealing with this land will treat
the Indians with perfect honesty and
make no further effort to trade them out

Capturing Wild Bees.

The bees and brood from bee trees
are often saved If the swarm is not
too high up, ladder may be put up,
and piece Of the wood taken out in
front Of the bees by boring line OF
auger holes around the piece that is
to be removed. Sometimes scaffold
is built against the side of the tree,
and an axe or saw used in cutting in
to the bees. Sometimes climbers"
are used to reach the bees if they are
pretty high up, but this is dangerous
work. Usually it is better to fell the
tree, taking care to have it strike
smaller trees, and thus break the
fall as much as possible. When the
bees are reached the combs should be
cut out, one by one, and fastened in
to the frames of movable comb
hive. They may be tied in, or small
sticks may be tackled across on each
side. The bees should be brushed
of at the entrance of the hive, and
as soon as there is comb containing
brood placed in the hive they will
begin clustering on the brood. If
there are many bees remaining in
the cavity or flying about after the
combs are removed, it is we'll to place
the entrance of the hive as near the
cavity as possible and leave it there
several hours-possibly all night
by which time nearly all the bees
will have entered the hive, when it
may be carried home. If no honey
is coming in, the bees should be fed
few days until the combs are Sc
curely fastened, when the sticks and
strings may be removed. No harm
will result from placing the captured
one by the side of the one already in
the yard. -[American Agriculturist-
