The Time for Free Seed.

1t will be remembered that in his
last message to Congress, President
Cleveland gave expression to radical
sentiments upon the seed question.
Under the san tion of existing legis-
lation," he said, there was sent out
from the Agricultural Department DUR
ing the last fiscal year enough of cab.
bage seed to plant 10, 200 acres of land,
sufficient quantity of beans to plant
1000 acres, beet seed enough to plant
$500 acres, sweet corn enough for 400
acre.. and so on, ending in this inter-
sting elimination: ~ he total guam
titv of flower ami vegetable seeds thus
distributed was contained in more than
nine million packages, and they were
sufficient, If planted, to cover Sy,5S3
acres of land" In view of these figures,
the President ask ed Congress to stop,
or at least to abridge, its achievement
in seed dist ibution.
The matter is important just now,
because this Is the season for the send-
ing out of the packages. The Wash
ing. on News says many congressman
are hard at work, and, CT course, these
are bu " times in the Agricultural De-
partment. Each member Of Congress,
whether he be Senator or Representa-
tive, is entitled to 10000 packages.
The seeds this year are intended for ex-
perimental purposes, and those who re-
ceive them are expected to send reports
on the results. IT is not likely that the
farmer will get much out of the Wilson
bill and If he Is wise he will hurry in
his order for share Of the free seeds.

Reed to the Farmers.

Ore other thing 1 have noticed in
this debate. When the gentleman
from Kansas Mr.. Simpson, gets little
money ahead, he does not put it into
stocks in these immensely profitable
manufactures. He has too much sense.
He adds to his farm and he has told us
so. Example is richer than precept.
II the hope of agriculturists is in
English free trade, they had better
ponder on the fact that while the wages
of artisans have increased In England
So Az per week since 1850, the wages of
agricultural laborer5 have only in
creased - cents, and while the an
cashire operatives in the factories live
as well as anybody except Americans,
the agricultural laborers are hardly
better off than the continental peas
antry. England's example will not do
fer agriculture.-Tho b. Reed.

of incorporation in New York State. In Justice
to the organization of cOlored citizens the fol.
lowing is respectfully submitted:
In November, 1871, the illustrious DR.. W. F.
Fleming of New York. received Instructions TO
create the order of Mystic Shrine. These in
structions DR.. Fleming received from the actor
William j. Florence (deceased), and with his as
sstance and several others proceeded TO form

recommended by some of the most distinguished
Masons of this country and foreign countries,
applied TO the Grand Council in Arabia for the
degrees and the power TO propagate the work
among the colored Masons of the United States.
His petition was unanimously accepted He
was notified to proceed TO Arabia and get tho
degrees he intended to have done so, but was
informed that several of the officers and leading
shriners would be in this country in 1898 for the
purpose of attending the Worlds Fair.
Arrangements were made for him TO receive
the degrees in this country, which he did on
June !, 1893. He crossed the sands and received
power and authority TO organize and establish
the Shrine in the United States among his race.
after organizing his Imperial Grand Council,
June 10 July 5, 1893, the same was incorporated
in the State of Illinois.
1t will be seen that one man gave our whito
hrehtern the power TO work the shrine In the
United States; and one man gave our colored
brethren the same power and from the same
source.
Then again in conclusion there are temples Of
the Shrine in Africa. The Arabians are a dark

brothers have the same rights as others to enjoy

Disastrous Blaze Aycrted.

The prompt action of the Fire Department
last night prevented what might otherwise
have been very disastrous confiagration.
About $50 o'clock an alarm reached head
quarters that Thomas Somervilie 4 Sons
foundry on Thirteenth street. near d street,
was on fire. The fireman responded with
alacrity and some of the members of No. 2
Company rushed up stairs where they disc oy-
cred partition on fire. They managed to
eXtinguish the blaze with chemical extin-
guisher before it had attained much head
way. Had the flames got good start the
fremen would doubtless have had a difficult
task TO perform. as the floor of the building is
said to be saturated with oil and there is a
lumber yard and considerable other easily
combustible material in the neighborhood, 1t
is thought the fire was caused by an over
heated steam pipe.

INSTRUCTING COREA'S ARMY.
Col. Dye. Formerly Chief of Police in
Washington, Teaches the Corcan
Soldiers How to shoot

ooiesSiS nv" W s'hoot.
The recent declaration of war between
China and Japan, the result OF a dispute of
long standing over Corean affairs. brings to
mind the fact that former Washingtonian,
Col. William NJ. Dye, once chief of police of
this city, holds at present an official position
under the government of Corea.
A TINES reporter called yesterday upon
Col. Edmund Ii. CumminS at his home in
Georgetown, and obtained from him the fol-
lowing particulars of Col Dyes engagement
with the Corean government.
Col. Cummins was one of three Army OFF,
GERS who served as military instructors in
Corea. and WAS for two years with Col. Dye.
Col. Cummias said that in 1886 the King of
Corea applied to the American minister at
Seoul the Hon. Hugh A. Dinsmore. who now
represents the Fifth Arkansas district in Con-
gress, for three United States officers, who
were to act as instructors. When the applica-
tion was received here 1t was referred 10
Gen. Sheridan, and he selected three eN-
officers. viz: Col. Dye, as a representative Of
the Union Army of the war; Col Cummins.
as an ex-Confederate, and Capt. John Gregg
Lee OF the Pennsylvania National Guard.

Minis. I'VE were introduced to the King by
Minister Dinsmore as the officers sent from
his government. We were engaged by private

$1,000 annually and ours at 5000 each. paw

two years. The King failed to keep his prom

time. but instead OF receiving our pay In
Mexican silver dollars were paid in japanese
silver, which was rapidly depreciating in
value Lee and concluded the berth was
undesirable. The King was offended at our
attempts 20 get our rights. and the result was
that the contract was renewed with Col. Dye
only.
"Col. Dyes present position will not call him
into active service during bostilities, nut the
King could commission him and give him a
command. He may have already done so.
But the position he had when / last heard
anything about the matter. was that of an in

Yacht Race Postponed.

LONDON, July 2s.-The race for the 100
guineas cup in Carmarthen Bay, off Tenby,
Wales, has been postponed until September.
The postponement is due to the receipt by
those having the matter In charge OF a tele-
gram from Mr.. Gould saying it would be i'm
possible for him to fix date before the mid
die Of August on which the Vigilsnt could
take part N the race. The deferring of the
race until September will add to the interest
that will be taken in the event for the reason
that the German Emperor's yacht Meteor,
formerly the Thistle, which in 1887 was beaten
by the Volunteer in the races for the Ameri-
