Flames in Her Hold Soon After Her
Departure for This City.

in her hold came into port this morn
ing.
The vessel is the Claribel, consigned

ports that at . o'clock In the afternoon
OF April 30 he found moke issuing from
the forward compartment of the hold.
Steam from the boilers was turned
into the hold and the matches battened
down in order to smothe the flames.
After twelve hour OF ceaseless work
the fire was put out.
The damage Is supposed to be very
slight. Capt. Mcknight Is unable to ac-
count for the cause of the fire. The
fore compartment was empty. and the
only damage is the loss of some stores
and "A portion Of woodwork.
The Claribel belongs to the Atlas Line
Steamship Company, but was recently
chartered by Mones Il Co. for the fruit
trade between this port and Baracoa.

AWAY GOES VALKYRIE
With British Ensign Flying the
Cutter Starts for Home.
SaIuted on Her Way Down Through
the Narrows.
Capt. Crandall Expects to Make the
Trip In Twenty Days.

Nalkyrie, the defeated pet of the
Royal Yacht Club. of England, was
towed out of Erie Basin at $50 this
morning by the tug Lewis Pulver, and
then it was that her return trip to
Albion's shore was begun. The British
steamer Delcomyn, which was hauled
out of the dry dock, dipped her colors in
salutation. Nalkyrie is bound for
GouroCk-on-the-Clyde, where she will
be fitted out with all her racing para
phernalia for the approaching yachting
season abroad.
Nalkyrie dropped astern of the Pulver
at the end of forty feet of hawser. and
in this nautical tandem fashion cutter
and tug scooted along the upper bay
and headed through the Narrows for
Crandall, of Lord Dunraven's cutter,
desired to be towed, and he gave the
signal to east off, just before II
o'clock.
on the deck of valkyrie were II. Matt

is D~unraven's representative in this
country; y. Wadsworth Richie and a
Capt. Haddock.
Hook and the cutter turned her nose to
the east. She Is yawl rugged and has her
fOretopmast housed. Evidently she in
tends proceeding under easy sail. The
British ensign floats from her j'gger-
mast. She was saluted by several tow
boats as she passed out the NarroWs,
and dropped her ensign in answer. Dun
ravens private colors, a yellow and blue
burgee, snapped out briskly at the mast
head.
Mr.. Kersey and his comrades returned
to the city on the Pulver. He said he
did not know anything about the chances
IF a meeting abroad between Valkyrie
and Nigilant. He was, however, quite
sure that Dunraren was perfectly willing
to do the fair and square thing and sail
| Nigilant three out of five races.
Capt. Crandall carried twenty-five
seaman in addition to Capt. McGoveri
as navigator. He thinks he will be
able to cross in about twenty days, and
looks for a great deal better weather
than he met with on the trip to these
shores.

that Republicans are very much awake,

MORTON Is MERRY.

Unique Letter of the Secretary In Re-
sponse to an Application.
WASHINGTON, March Secretary
Morton has written unique letter to
Edward Peterson of Dayton, Ia, who
applied to him by mail for the position
OF chief Russian thistle exterminator
for the State of Iowa. Replying to
Peterson the secretary says:
''It is impossible Immediately to COM
ply with your request, because the
Hansbrough bill, appropriating $1,OOO,-
900 for the wedding of Iowa, the Da-
kotas and other thistle-infested sections
of the Northwest has not yet become
law. Several amendments to
the bill are contemplated, among
them an appropriation for the
destruction Of the cookie burr, foxtail
grass and rattlesnakes which secrete
themselves in all kinds Of grass. The
government will probably, in its munifi-
cence and tender care of its children,
also distribute in original packages an
tidote for snake bites to the farmers
throughout snake infested districts.
1t is, in the judgment of some good
citizens, who are inclined to this sort of
paternalism, only fair that the bill
should also be so amended as to permit
each farmer to draw directly upon the
public treasury for each days work in
the determination Of noxious weeds
upon his or any other farm. Possibly,
however, before the bill is rounded off
in its perfection, it will provided patent

Of land by legislation is only amatter Of
time. I must thank you for the patriotic
frankness with which you remark, re-
ferring to the thistles, ''they are spread
ing fast, but we do not want to kill
them out before the government is ready
to pay us for the work or send some one
to do it for us.
Nothing could better demonstrate your
peculiar fitness and adaptation for the
position Of chief Russian thistle exter-
minator for the Northwest.

that the present city charter is abso-

ney's position on this point it will in

WINTER WHEAT.
Feared It Is Badly Damaged by tho Late
Cold Snap. ...

Feared 1t Is Badly Damaged by tho Late
Cold Snap. .....
CHICAGO, March 2S.-The Herald
says: 1t is feared the recent cold snap,
following a season of warm weather,
greatly damaged the winter wheat crop,
but is too soon to give even an APPROX
innate estimate of the injury. Even
those in the best position to judge differ
in their opinions and are disposed to
await later and more definite advices.
The crop is thought to have been dam
aged in Western Kansas and Oklahoma,
though ray of hope is found in
the fact that the ground was dry.
Central and Eastern Kansas is reported
to have escaped without serious loss.
Opinions on the Minnesota crop are
contradictory, but it is likely to suffer
If the cold weather is followed by sud-
den thaw. Some farmers think that in
the absence of alternate freezing and
thawing, the wheat has escaped dam
age. It is thought the Ohio crop was
not far enough advanced to be injured.
In Eastern and Central Nebraska wheat
is believed to have suffered severely,
but farther north and west the recent
snowfall has protected the grow
ing plants. It is feared that Indiana
wheat has suffered considerably, but if
the cold has not reached the roots, as is
hoped, the damage may not be as Sc
rious as feared. A report from Sparta,
Ills, says the crop is badly damaged in
one locality to the extent of so per cent.
1t is thought Michigan has escaped
without serious injury. North and
South Dakota are not in the winter
wheat belt. In the latter the melting
snow will benefit spring wheat. In the
former planting is backward and the
acreage of spring wheat will be one
third less than last year.
