It will appear from this statement that the
coin reserve has been reduced to ,7t, i0s, is9
and IL Is evident from the condition OF the
treasury that the department will have no
means TO defray the ordinary expenses OF the
government unless a large part OF the payments
are hereafter made from that fund II this Is
done the coin reserve will be reduced by the
lat of February to cod 81. .ss4 about sum
wholly Inadequate for the purpose for which II
was created. On account OF this critical condi
tion OF the treasury ! have considered It my
duty in addition to the earnest recommenda-
tions contained in my annual report to appear
twice before your committee and after full ex-
p anation OF the situation, urge prompt legista-
tive action on the subject.
With the permission OF the committee, I
have prepared and presented for its consdera-
tion bill which. IL promptly passed would, in
my opinion meet all requirements of the situa-
tion by providing the necessary means Tor de-
fraying the public expenses and replenishing
the coin reserve to such an extent as to assure
the maintenance Of the parity OF all forms OF
United States currency. While this proposed
measure OF relief has not yet been disposed of
or considered by the committee. the great diff.
ferences Of opinion which are known to exist
in both branches OF congress concerning the
propriety OF granting additional amended
authority 10 issue bonds in any FORM or for
any purpose render IL doubtful whether
new legislation upon the subject be Sc
are imperatively demanded In order TO pre-
serve the credit aud honor OF the government
Authority to issue and sell bonds for the pur-
pose of maintaining specie payment was ex.
pressly conferred upon the secretary of the
treasury by the act OF January IL 1879 but Il
has not been exercised since is7s and on
count OF the high rate Of interest provided for
and the length OF time such bonds would have
to run have not teen satisfied that such an
emergency as heretofore existed as would clear
ly justify their issue
But the necessity for relief at this time Is so
urgent and prospect OF mat rial Improvement
In the financial condition OF the government Is
problematical that unless authority TO issue and
sell shorter bonds or other obligations bearing
lower rate OF interest than that specified in the
existing law is granted by congress at very
carly day. shall feel constrained by q sense OF

FATAL FOG.
Terrible Accident on the Delaware
& Lackawanna.
Collision OF Trains In Dense Fog Near
New York Ciiy-Sixteen Passengers
Killed and Many Injured d-Ac-
cident In California.
sixteen Killed.

sixteen Killed.
NEW YORK, Jan 16.-Sixteen passen-
gers were killed and twenty-five in
jured in a collision during a dense fog
between two trains of the Delaware,
Lackawanna Il Western railroad at the
west end of the Hackensacli bridge,
about S o'clock yesterday morning.
Two cars were completely destroyed.
The Dover express passed through
Roseville without stopping and was fol-
lowed four minutes later by the regular
communication train. So dense was the
fog over the river that on approaching
the bridge the express slowed up, the
engineer being unable to see the sig
nails The communication train did not
halt at the bridge, but went along at
its usual rate of speed.
The engineer saw the express when
less than 200 feet from it, and, though
he reversed his engine, he could not
prevent a collision. The locomotive
crashed into the rear car throwing it
from the track quite a distance. This
car and the one ahead of it were conf
pletely wrecked.
Both cars were full of passengers
who were crushed to death or terribly
mangled The engineer of the COM
mutation train is missing and is said to
be among the killed.
The brakeman of the rear car of the
Dover express discovered that a wreck
was inevitable and shouted at the top
of his voice: Jump for your lives, an
other train is coming behind and will
be on us in a minute"
The warning was sufficient to put
the entire rear car of the express in
commotion. Passengers rushed pell
NELL for the nearest means of exit.
Some jumped through the windows in
their haste while the majority rushed
to the doors. In the excitement some
fell on the floor while others tumbled
over them.
Before all the frightened passengers
could make their escape the Orange
locomotive crashed into the rear car
wrecking 1t and driving it into the car
ahead; also telescoping that, and deal
ing death on all sides A passenger
who reached New York. said he had
counted fifteen bodies alongside the
wreck and that others were thought TO
be dead.
Trains always slow up when ap-
preaching the Hackensack bridge. II
is said that the South Orange train was
running so close behind the Dover ex-
press that there was no time to send
back a fiagman.

SOW AND PIGS MANAGEMENT

Any Man who spends Time with One
Litter May Care For Four to Eight
Almost as Quickly aud With Ten
Times as Much Profit.
4 SOW that farroWs only once per year
is not paying greatly. In the time OF
idleness, when she should be making a
second record and is not, she largely de
yours what she yielded as profit. 1t is
far better to make half a dozen sows
Weld twelve litters than to get the same
number of young at one narrowing from
a dozen sows. Those who do not make
a business OF raising pigs for sale pro-
duce only spring pigs, and soon form the
opinion that it is almost as cheap to buy
suckers. ANY man who spends time with
one litter may care for four to eight al
most as quickly and with ten times as
much profit.
There should be double object in
serving the sows early. Early pigs sci!
more quickly and at a better price, and
give opportunity to get early Iltters next
fall instead of late ones. Have the
spring pigs on foot not a day later than
April Is. Then care for the dams dill
gently and see that tie fall filters arrive
in September or early October. Half
the battle is won for the fall pig if he
has a chance to make his first growth
rapidly on grass, roots, pumpkins, late
sweet corn and plenty OF sunshine. lie
ought to have a rollicking, happy child
hood (pighood; and develop a strongly
settled digestive apparatus. lie Will
need it later on when cold and cherries
winter days come. A pig cannot grow
and do well unless early, strong and well
cared for, and unless he does grow and
grow constantly he will not pay.
Don't have anything to do with TALL
pigs unless they can be made to prosper
all winter. A fall pig should be sold as
pork at six or not over eight months OF
age. To keep him just alive with the
old. fashioned notion that he can be
grown and fattened with profit is to lose
on him. Young pork is profitable and
Young pork only. Don't be deceived by
the thin slop doctrine. Dish water can
not grow pigs. They need a rich slop
made from good foods. Middlings and
bran, and milk, if the latter can be OBJ
tanned, are none too good for him, and
he will pay the bills every time If treated
rightly.

UMATlLLA SCHEME
Money VIII be Furnished to
Reclaim Arid Lands.
THE DETAILS OF THE MATTER

The Plan is to Buy the Lands. Put Wa
fer on Them and Sell Them Back to
Their Former wners-Data Being
Collected by Business Men.
PENDLEroN, Or, December Is. - A
comprehensive plan is being formed to
take the place of all other schemes for
retaining $4,000 to 10000 acres of Una
tilla county lands. The Umatilla Ditch
Company with Samuel p. Sturgis,
cashier of the First National Bank,
at its head has offered to give up
its valuable right of way, engineers
plans and government treaty privileges
across the Indian reservation to any one
taking hold OF the enterprise and push
ing it to completion. An official an
pouncement was made to-day that the
money is ready-$200, 900 or 100000 &C
cording to needs. The persons furnish
inc the capital to the local promoters
offer to put up a $25, 600 check as an
evidence of good faith and guarantee
that the remainder will be furnished
when ready to begin work.
The details OF the plan are the pur-
chase OF the land at from So to 50 per
acre by the new company; then build q
ditch to put water on the land and sell
it back to the former owners, not more
than forty acres to any one person, at
$3.50 per acre, ditch and water right to
be turned over and to be owned by the
land owners on completion free for all
time, except a maintenance charge Of
50 cents per acre per annum. The lands
not purchased back by the original own
ers will be offered at the same price to
settlers, and vigorous efforts will be made
to bring them from abroad. The per-
sons pushing the matter are entirely re-
sponsible and can give 81 10000 il nee
essary Data are being collected now by
the business men preparatory to IN
augurating the enterprise.

The indians Are Impudent, and Trouble

SALT LAKE, December 15.-The Trib-
une has a telegram from Colonel Tatlocl
dated Monticello, Utah, via Thompson
station, in which he says:
:" arrived here Sunday afternoon, and
Governor West arrived Monday. We
had an interview with Chiefs lgnatio,
Colorow and others. The interview was
barren of results, but rich in inlorma-
ton. Indian Agent Day and Colonel
LAYTON will meet us, and Wednes-
day we will have an interview with the
chiefs, at which it is hoped that peace
full solution will be reached. Ignatlo
saws all his tribe with the exception Of
six families are in Utah, and they seem
determined to stay. The tribe numbers
about 800, and the settlers have to feed
them. Last night the settlers of the
village fed about twenty bucks and forty
ponies, the hay fed to the ponies being
worth $40 ton. The Indians are impu-
dent, and make demands on men and
women. They are eating the stock OF
settlers and rapidly devouring the winter
pasturage OF the whole country. Much
suffering will ensue unless the Indians
are removed at once"
A later telegram says conference was
held between Governor West, Colonel
Lawton, Agent Day and the chiefs, but
was adjourned over to Thursday. The
Indians appeared cross and determined
to stay. The last telegram concluded:
"This dispatch goes ninety miles by
special messenger"

Careless Fruit Packing.

1t pays to exercise care in putting up
apples for the big markets. A study OF
the conditions in New York, Boston or
Chicago shows there is still much need
of repeating the old injunctions about
asserting and selecting fruit. 1t is hard
to find really first class barrel of apples.
In almost every package there wall be
enough small, gnarled or wormy fruit to
reduce materially the price of the pack
age. 1t is a grieyous bIunder from every
standpoint. Suppose apples worth 81
per barrel when Of high grade. The dull
packer argues that, if he smuggles in a
peck of second or third-rate fruit, he will
get the price of frst-class fruit for it.
But he fails. Instead of selling poor
fruit for frst-class it results in his sell
ing his first-class fruit for $1.50, the
price of lower grade. This has been
talked and written about until it is a
vain repetition" but it is still neces-
sary to repeat it. Keep the poor fruit at
home-feed it to stock-Or let it rot on
the ground. Never ship it to market.
