RUSSIAN THISTLE RAvAGEs.
The Matter Investigated by the Agri-

The Matter Investigated by the Agri-
cultural Department..
WASHINGTON, March Ia. = Assistant
Secretary Of Agriculture Dabney sent to
the House the Committee on Agricult-
ure's report of its investigation into the
matter of the Russian thistle ravages in
the Northwest with the comment that it
is thorough and little more remains to be
done. The report gives history of the
thistle's rapid spread, and says it now oc-
cupies 10000 acres in the adjacent terri
tory in North and South Dakota, Mime
sofa, Iowa and Nebraska, with isolated
bodies as far east as Madison, Wis, and
west to Denver. The chief agents in the
distribution are wind, in haxseed and in
the bedding in stock cars on the railroads.
The report says it is easily killed by cut
ting before the middle Of August, before
the seed ripens, but, to be effective, gen.
eral cooperation is necessary; or it may
be kept down by pasturing. The further
remedies suggested are the thorough
cleaning of seed to be planted. and to pre-
vent the distribution by the wind, wire
fences or double row of sunfiowers as a
temporary fence, all around unfenced
farms, to stop the rolling of the weeds.

KILLING OF M,wHIRrER.
A Witness Says Heath Told Him ID,

A Witness Says Heath Told Him De-
ceased Ought to be Killed.
FRESNO, March 14.-Another witness
appeared in the Heath trial to-day. Off
Ger Wofford testified that Heath told him
on the day of the Democratic primaries
in May, 1892, that McWhirter was trying
to break up the Democratic party here
and ought to be killed. After Heath had
difficulty with }. E. Baker, Wofford
claims to have heard Heath say again
that McWhirter, assisted by Baker,
wanted to break up the Democratic party
and he should be killed. He further said
that he could get Chinese highbinder to
do the job for $50. After the murder of
McWhirter Heath told Wofford that de-
tectives were shadowing him Heath,
but they would never get evidence
enough against him to hang him.
Various witnesses testified that Heath
had told them he was accused of Nc
Whirter's murder, and used very abusive
language toward his accusers. Attorney
Foote attempted to show that Wofford,
who had been summoned as a talesman,
withheld knowledge of the case in order
to get on the jury.

New YORK, March 1.-THE Mail and

President intends TO permit the silver
seigniorage bill to become law without
his signature. The silver Senators who
have during the past few days called upon
him with view to aseertaining his posi-

evasive replies. but have told their col
leagues in Congress there is very little
doubt that the President will simply per-
init the bill to lie upon his desk until the
constitutional ten days have elapsed, when
1t will become a law without his signature.
Cleveland pursued this policy IN 1887,

JACKSON Gal. }, March 14.-In the Evans
trial the same testimony was introduced
as to the finding OF the pipe near the
scene of the murder, and it's identity by
several witnesses as being in possession

fessions in the San Andreas Jail has

Old Copper Boilers.
BosToN, March 14.-Over 500 guests
last night participated in the wedding
festivities of Henry Feinberg of Wor-
cester and Miss Ida Margolies, daughter
of Rabbi Margolies of this city. Fully
300 were victims to-day of poisoning,
caused, it is thought, by eating food that
was cooked in two old copper boilers.
The principal articles of food eaten were
chickens, chicken giblets and picked
tongues. Over ninety chickens were
killed by Rabbi Margoiies Saturday and
Monday, who is positive that the chick
ems were fresh and pure, and the fault
was in the cooking, which was done by
local baker.
So great was the crowd of guests at the
wedding that q second supper-taDle was
necessary, and it is thought that most OF
the victims were those who ate at that
sitting, as the food was taken from the
bottoms and sides of the boilers.
There was no intimation that anything
had gone wrong during the festivities.
which ended at midnight, but after ma
jority of the people had got to their homes
the poison began its work. Shortly after

year-old child who were in dangerous
condition and exhibiting symptoms OF

The same programme was being en-
acted in several Jewish sections of the
city, every Jewish doctor having from
five to forty patients each, but no fatal
tiles have been reported.
The Hebrew section OF the community
are all excited, and few hint that en-
emies of the Rabbi placed an emetic in
the food for spite, because the Rabbi was
not OF their way of thinking in matters
relating to the church.
All of the parties from this city are
now out of danger except Rabbi Baer-
man, who is in critical condition.

Fate of a Carrier in the Mountains in
Placer County.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 14.-George S.
Montgomery, one of the proprietors of
the Trinidad gold mines, in Placer
County, received a telegram from Cisco
last night, announcing that j. Nelson,
the snowshoe traveller employed by the
company, had been lost in one of the re-
cent bliZzards. The mines are in the
mountains about fourteen miles in a
direct line from the railroad and tele-
graph-Statlon at Cisco, though owing to
the broken character of the country, the
distance necessary to be travelled is much
further.
During eight months of the year the
mines are showed in. Provisions for the
winter are laid in in advance, and after
the first snow no communication can be
had with the outside world except by
means of snowshoe couriers, who make
the trip to Cisco once a month to carry
the mails.
On the 23d of February Nelson left the
camp carrying reports of the work in
progress and letters. He started just
after heavy storm, and in many places
the snow was twenty-five feet deep in the
ravines and valleys. Shortly after his
departure blizzard came up, and the
men in the camp became anxious for his
safety; but as none of them understood
the art of walking on the Norwegian skis,
which are used by the mountaineers,
nothing could be done.
As time passed and no news came from
the mine, Mr.. Montgomery telegraphed
to Cisco, and Fred Vinske, one OF the
most experienced of the mountaineers,
was sent over the trail to search for the
missing man. He was accompanied by
couple of dogs, and spent several days
IN the mountains, but could find no trace
OF Nelson, who is believed to be buried
many feet beneath the drifts.
