in agriculture is retarded by these Gus
toms, and even when facts show that
former methods are erroneous there is
resistance to the changes which are
finally forced upon toe unbeleving.
The earliest fodder crop is peas and
oats sown together on rich land, using
plenty OF seed. When tho seed pods Of
the peas begin TO form the crop may b.
cut and cured, or the green food may
be cut daily, and clrried t. the baru
yard. A large crop can be grown on
an acre, and it will be highly relished b
COWS and sheep.
Charcoal is almost q necessity for

the hogs will easily crush it for their
use.
No kind of land should remain idle.

crop, or it can be improved i'll fertility in
some manner. If useless for crops lei
it be given up to sheep. 1 this cannot
be done pillow it, and use lime on it, sc

walton in the future.
A Holstein heifer, two years old, tested
last November, produced over fourteen

tered into = General Washington
Gossip.


WAsHINGToN, Feb. THE plan Of
making u. s. Consuls inspect immigrants
previous to their embarkation, as
proposed by the bill of Represen-
tative Stone, is likely 10 cause
q stir In the consular branch
of the State Department service. The
bill imposes heavy responsibilities on the
consuls at such leading ports of embarka-
tion as Liverpool, Havre, Naples and
Bremen, where the number OF emigrants
to be inspected daily and furnished with
certificates would reach hundreds during
heavy periods of emigration.
The bill makes no provision for extra
compensation to the consuls, nor does Mr..
Stone, the author OF the bill, think extra
compensation will be necessary.
Mr.. Broderick ofthe Judiciary Committee
thinks that IL Congress carries out the
plan, an appropriation will be necessary
for executing the service.
Mr.. Stone points out that criminals can
readily slip into the country under the
present law, as the inspectors at New
York or elsewhere have no means OF learn
ing the criminal antecedents of immi-
grants. But foreign consul, conversant
with the people about to emigrate, could
more readily detect criminality.

SUIT OVER ORMONDE.
The Famous Stallion Likely 10 Cause
His Owner Much Litigation.

Bu The -4s>OctdtCm Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. THE Examiner
says that DIR. VIM. S. Ross has commenced
suit against w. o. b. McDonough, owner
of the famous stallion Ormonde,
to recover $4,000 damages alleged
to have been sustained by the
failure of McDonongh to keep the
terms of en- agreement involved in the
purchase by Ross of the great horse. Ross
alleged that he and McDonough entered
into a verbal agreement by the terms
OF which he (Ross) should for three
years, after September 1, 1892,
superintend and manage Ormonde
for McDonough; that the latter agreed to
pay his expenses for three years, also $500
per month, give him house to live in
and allow him TO breed two mares to
Ormonde, the product by which should
be shared equally By the two men.
The plans proposed, aside from this,
Ross says, in three years he would have
made $4,000 and the profits during the
life time of the stallion would reach
s1,00o,000. McDonough puts in general
denial.

Creary Resolution Today
ENDORSING POLICY OF INFAMY,

Commencing the Presidents Course
I'm the Hawaiian Case-Thc Elections
Bill I'm the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE indications
were when the House met this morning
that q Democratic quorum would be
secured to pass the McCreary resolution
declaring against the annexation of, or
the assumption OF a protectorate over the
Hawaiian Islands Mr.. McCreary had an
early chance TO call up his resolution.
Mr.. Reed, pursuing the filisbuster-
ing tactics, made the point OF order
that when the House adjourned last
night it adjourned pending pro-
ceedings TO enforce the attendance
OF absentees. The Speaker ovcrruled the
point of order, holding that while all pro-
ceedings under the call terminated wit h
adjournment, the order reyoking leaves
OF absence executed itself.
The roll was then called on the adop-
tion OF the McCreary resolution. The Re-
pubiicans sat silent in their seats. The re-
suit was no quorum. The vote was la to 3.
When the vote was announced Mr..
Springer raised the point OF order that as
there were four vacant seats in the House
III instead OF 179 should constitute a
quorum. After some debate the point Of
order was sustained and the McCreary
resolution declared passed.
Later on, by unanimous consent, il was
decided TO have another roll call on the
adoption of the McCreary Hawaiian res
olution.

Rowland, Boston's missing civil engineer,
met in this city early this morning and had
conference. AS a result OF the interview,
Rowland took the $3.50 train back to New

that it was scarcely safe for him to come
to Boston yet.
Rowland left New York at II 80 last
night. He was accompanied by an insur-
ance detective and newspaper man who
found him In New Jersey. He was met at
the depot in Hartford by w f. Ellis, who
drove him to the hotel, and a conference
OF several hours duration ensued. II was
decided that Mr.. Howland should issue a
statement which will clear Miss Jones, the
stenographer, whose connection with the
case has created such a commotion. Mr..
Ellis refused TO say what the statement
contained but saiuSlhat il will be issued
in New York and wired to Boston for
publication there. Mr.. Ellis did not
know when Rowland would come to Bos-
ton.
This afternoon Rowland issued state
ment in the form OF letter TO his wife ex-
planning his recent actions. They were
due TO financial troubles.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 7.--At o'clock this
morning the building at the corner of
Vieser street and Madison avenue was
totally demolished by natural
gas explosion. II is supposed that
the gas had accumulated i'm the
cellar and finding its way through the
floor above, ignited with the gas jet or
with an open fire. AS soon as the explo-
sion occurred an alarm of fire was turned in
which brought the department to the
scene. 1t was understood that six persons
were buried in the debris.
The building was occupied by Louis
Keuhler, who, with his wife and four
children, occupied the upper portion of
the house. There was a saloon below.
At o'clock the firemen had taken out the
entire Keuhler family, one dead and the
remaining five fatally injured.

The Infamous Resolution Passed.

BB The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-When il became
apparent on the second roll call that the
Democrats would have quorum the Re-
publicans voted against the McCreary re-
solution and IL passed, 177-75.
The amendments having all been
killed yesterday, the question
was on the original resolution offered
by Mr.. McCreary. This declares
the sense OF the House that Minister
Stevens action in employing the naval
forces to aid in overthrowing the queen
and setting up Provisional Govern
ment not Republican in form, and
in opposition 10 the majority, was con-
trary TO the traditions OF our republic ard
the spirit Of our constitution, and is con-
demned. Also that the House appproves
the principle announced by tho President
that interference with the domestic af-
fairs of an independent nation Is contrary
TO the spirit OF American institutions.
Further, that annexation OF Hawaii or
protectorste is uncalied for and inexpe-
dent, and that the people OF Hawaii should
have freedom to pursue their own line of
policy, and that foreign Intervention will
not be regarded by us with indifference.

The Reciprocity Treaties.

WAsHINoToN, Feb. 7.--Fears have been
expressed that the repeal of the recipro-
city clause OF the Mckinley act, accom-
pIished by the late amendments TO the
Wilson bill, might have the efec. of abro-
eating or limiting the reciprocity treaties
already existing between this country and
several South American republics. But it
is pointed out that the bill contains the
following clause limiting the extent OF
the repeals:
"The repeal of existing laws or modifi-
cations thereof embraced i'm this act, shall
not affect any act done, or any
act accruing or accrued, or any
suit or proceedings had or
commenced in any civil cause before the
said repeal or modification, but all rights
and liabilities under said laws shall con-
tinue and may be enforced in the same
manner as IL said repeal or notifications
had not been made"
Representative Hit, who was closely
identified with Mr.. Blaine in the develop
ment of the reciprocity treaty, says the
foregoing proviso applies only to the
pending suits on the appraisal OF merchan-
disc. He thinks the repeal of the
reciprocity clause will terminate the
negotiations with Venezuela but will not
effect the treaties with Brazil, Spain and
other countries, which were fully COM
pleted and proclaimed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Tt is understood
that the testimony taken before the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations on the
Hawaiian question will be printed in a
few days.
There is some speculation as to what the
nature of the report will be. Ii Is under
stood that Mr.. Morgan il drafting a re-
port which will be made the majority re-
port, whether it Is agreed to by the Demo-
Gratis or not. In case il does not, il will
probably be supported by the Republican
members OF the committee. This is
understood to be the possibility unless
the matter should be made party issue
as had been the case i'm the
house. There is also said to be
possibility OF two or three
reports, one by the Republicans, another
by tho friends OF the administration on
the committee and still another by Senator
Morgan and some members OF the commit
tee who may decide to take a middle
course, neither severely criticisng the
present administration nor criticising the
last administration, as has been in the
House resolution.
