X WASHINGTON, March 6-The annual distribution of seeds by the department .of agriculture in response to personal Applications has been discontinued for the present season, and hereafter dis tribution will be made at the direction of the congressman who still have cer- tain quantities to their account. The department this year provided for more than 100000 packages of seeds, two thirds of which are the quota for con- gressmen only, one-third being sent out independently by the department. The appropriation for the distribution of seeds for the past fiscal year is $135, s400. Secretary Morton does not believe in the wholesale distribution of seeds, and he has submitted to congress an es- timate asking for but S35, ,0o0 for buy ing and distributing seeds for the com aing fiscal year.

 Her gp Two-Captain Vasconcellos,
 Three o9aeers and Twenty-Nlne Men
 Go p9MD With the Sinking Ship.
 RIO JANEIRo, Feb. 26, via Montevideo, March Copyrighted by the Associ- ated Press. l-The reports of the loss of the rebel transport Venus have been confirmed, but the details of the loss of the vessel are as yet 1neager
 On Friday morning the armed rebel transports Jupiter, Msrte and Venus, which were lying off Porto M0dama, took up positions off Porto Madama and opeped a bonfbardmeut against the government batteries. The guns in the batteries responded quickly and quite IiNely fire was exchanged.
 Suddenly there was terrific roar heard above the booming of the guns ard it was at once conjectured that an explosion had occurred. At first it was thought the disaster had befallen the transport Marte.
 Immediately the sound of the explo- sion was heard, the men in the bat teries and elsewhere along the shore saw huge cloud column of reddish brown smoke ascending and spread ing out to wide dimensions as it arose
 It was seen as soon as the smoke cleared away little that the explosion hal occurred on the Venus The ves- sel had been torn in half and almost immediately afterward the stern half of the wreck went to the bottom.
 The bow half was soon on fire, and in few minutes the flames were rag ing furiouely. This portion of the Venus foated for half an hour and then went down.
 The Venus was commanded by Capt. Vaseoncallos He with three officers and 29 men, made up tue complement of the vessel. Every soul on board of her was lost.
 Many theories are current as to the cause of tue disaster The most prob able of these is that shot from the shore batteries struck the Venus amid ships and plowed it's way through the huii and boilers.
 It is pretty certain that the magazine did not explode, for the. smoke, as stated above, was of reddish brown color, while the smoke of powder is gray. At any rate, the force of itself must have been terrific, as the vessel was blown in halves as though made of card board.
