An Engineer Oflccr of Ability and
Wide Experience.
Major Thomas Turtle Of the engineer
corps of the army and one of the assistants
to Gen. Casey, chief of engineers. died at
1 30 O'Clock this morning at HIS residence
No 210S G street northwest. The news of
his death was a great shock to his many
friends in this city, as 1t was not generally
known that he was sick. He was a strons,
robust looking man, and was supposed to
be in the best of health. He was at the
War Department attending to his duties as
usual up to Friday. That day he told his
associates that he was not feeling well. He
went home and was put to bed and sank
early this morning. His death is attributed
to congestion of the liver. He leaves a
wife and three children, all of whom were
with him in his last moments. Arrange
ments for the funeral will be deferred until
the arrival Of his two brothers, one of whom
Is in New York city. and the other is in
Florida.
Major Turtle was an engineer officer of
superior ability, and his death is a serious
loss to the army. He was a most genial
companionable man. and had host of
friends. He was a native of Ireland, and
was about fifty years Of age. He was ap-
pointed to the military academy from Mas
sachusetts and graduated fourth in his
class in 1867. He was promoted to be a
Captain IN 1881, ana. was raised TO the rank
OF major about a year ago. During his SER
vice he has been Stationed in nearly every

THE RUINED ASK RELIEF.

HOmestcaders i'm the Western Burned
Districts Approach the Government.
Commissioner Lamoreux of the general
land Office has been receiving many COM
munications from homesteaders in the
burned districts of Minnesota and Wisccn-
sin concerning pine lands which they have
taken, but which have not been finally
patented or in which the title does not
rest with the settler. Homesteaders are
prohibited from cutting the pine until they
acquire complete title To this they make
TO objection, except in cases of fire, when
the pine must be cut Immediately or It will
lose its value for lumber. In any section
when the fire has ragged and the bark of
the trees are burned, they must be cut
the following winter or the worms at once
begin their ravages. and by the second
winter the trees are almost, If not wholly,
destroyed. The settlers have been inQuiring
OF Commissioner Lamoreux whether the
cut the timbef on their land so that II
may be saved. The commissioner says that
such permission cannot be granted and con-
gressional action will be necessary before
the settlers, whose titles are not yet per-
feet, can cut and save their timber. 1t is
expected that bill will be introduced and
an effort be made early In the next session
of Congress to grant the homesteaders the
relief they are asking. Commissioner Lam
oreux made a tour of the burned section
while he was in the northwest. He says
that there will be extensive numbering in
that region this year, as the owners of
all timber lands where the flames swept
the country know that they must cut the
injured timber in order to save II.

DILE M M IA OF SPAIN
The Necessity of Some Commercial Treaty
With This Country.
The Cuban Sugar Planters Are serf-
ously Affected by the Abolition of
the Reciprocity Arrangement.

So far as can be ascertained the Spanish
government has as yet made no formal
advance toward the negotiation Of a new
commercial treaty with the United States.
and although a movement in that direction
Is expected In the near future the subject
Is SO beset with difficulties that the outcome
OF the negotiations is extremely doubtful.
The reciprocity arrangement" as was
styled the compact negotiated with Spain
by Secretary Blaine to distinguish 1t from
formal treaties. has fallen through since
the new tariff act went into operation. 1t
was not necessary for either government
to denounce the arrangement or serve no
tice OF fits termination fer this followed by
the terms OF the act. Eacn government
contented Itself With a notice To its revenue
collectors In the case Of the United States
that the new duties imposed by the new
tariff act must be collected on all imports.
regardless Of previous arrangements. and
In the case of Spain that the ole rates of
duties must be exacte1 on imports from the
United States.
Notwithstanding the assertion by Spain,
while the arrangement existed. that IL vas
uns atisfactCry to her, beyond question The
reversion TO the old order is still more so.
The Cuban sugar planters. already in bad
str6its. are in state OF absolute panic at
the prospect of the loss of their principal
market--the United States-and are bring
ing to bear such pressure upon the cortes
by memorials and urgent repres entations of
various kinds that the Spanish government
is Obliged to move for their relief, even at
the cost of a sacrifice of part of the reve-
nues derived from In creased duties on
American imports But the negotiation of
a new reciprocity treaty with the United
States will not be easy of accomplishment,
involving, as it would, a less by the United
states OF part OF the revenue to be derived
from imported sugar at a time when all
revenues are needed for the maintenance of
the government, sc the negotiations are
likely to occupy much time and to be sue

MONETARY HISTORY.

Thomas Doubleday In his financial,
monetary and statistical history of
England says that prices fell on q sud
den to ruinous extent-banks broke
wages fell with prices of manufactures;
and before the year 1916 had come to a
close panic, bankruptcy, riot and dis
affection had spread through the land.
Vast bodies of starving and discomfort
ed artisans now congregated together
and demanded reform of the parlia-
ment The discontents, as usual, the
government put down by an armed
1923, drew near, the country bank rs.
as well as the bank of England, natur-
ally prepared themselves by a gradual
narrowing of their circulation for the
dreaded hour of gold and silver pay
ments on demand. The distress, ruin
and bankruptcy which now took place
were universal, affecting both the great
interests of land and trade.
This author further says that the
government paper money has Away s
enriched nation when properly is
sued, restricted, and secured. It has
ever been a success. Specie, for do
nestle currency, or as basis for paper,
has been failure without solitary
exception.
Napoleon, at St. Helena, claimed that
England beat him with her spindles,
but it was her paper money that kept
the spindles in motion. Specie in it's
stead would have given him the vic
tory.
England's entire disregard of specie
and copious issue of paper money after
the suspension of specie payments in
1897 to 1916 produced the most pros
porous days that England ever saw.
This wise policy, to which she was
driven by necessity, together with the
bill of credit issued by the united al
lied powers and which were not only
as good, but superior to gold, from
"Kanschatka to the Rhine - turned the
tide of war against Napoleon and won
the decisive battle of Waterloo, saving
England from becoming province of

BUSINESS ENTERPRISE.

A Cincinnati exchange tells a re-
markable story of the meanest woman
in Ohio, who lives near Stony Creek,
in Ross county, and has a great pen
chant for poultry. A few days ago her
husband died from consumption, with
which he had long been effected, but for
eight weeks preceding his death his
wife utilized him as an incubator to
hatch out several broods of chickens.
He was effected with high fever doing
this last period, and his better half
took advantage of the fact. She took q
number of eggs and, wrapping each one
in cotton batting, laid them alongside
the body OF her husband in the bed, he
being unable to move a limb. Fifty
was the number of eggs first used as an
experiment, and after three weeks she
was rewarded with &c lively young
chickens. The happy result of the first
trial prompted her to try it again, and
this time she doubled the quantity, and
was again rewarded for her ingenuity
with another brood of chickens. An
other hundred eggs were placed in the
bed, but this time-her husband was so
near the end that the necessary heat
was lacking, and he passed away leav-
ing behind hundred half-hatched
chicks. The scheming wife, not to be
outdone in her plans by grim death,
placed the eggs in the oven, thinking
to finish the work her husband had
failed to complete. During the hustle
and excitement of the funeral, how
ever, she allowed the fire to get too
hot, and the eggs were all cooked. In
order to perpetUate his usefulness the
devoted wife should have had her hus-
bands corpse eHlbalmed and placed it
out in the field as a scarecrow.

TIE number of red foxes in Missouri
is increasing very rapidly. In some
places there are enough to do consider
able damage to crops. There is no
known reason for this increase except
that fox-hunting, which was at one
time the most popular sport in the
country, died out to q large extent on
account of the scarcity of foxes, and
has not been renewed. 1t would not be
at all difficult now to find the animals
and that, too, within very short dis
lance of st. Louis.
