Distrfbution of seeis.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-The annual
distribution of seeds by the agricultural
department has been practically COM
pleted, though the quotas of several con-
gressmen still remain subject to their
order. The work was commenced last
autumn and about 1900, 600 small paper
bags of seed have been distributed dur
ing the season. Two-thirds of these
formed the quota of congress, the re-
mainder being sent out at the discretion
of the department. The amount dis
tributed is 30 per cent greater than last
year, and each congressman received
5000 more bags of seeds than in any
previous year. An average of 100 two
bushel bags was sent out daily. The APP
preparation for the present fiscal year
WAS S125. 400.

rurnoses of peaceful trade. Hence a
question arose as TO the propuety or
sinking her. The Tokyo Government,
f0reseeing the possibility OF such con-
tiuOencieS. had been careful To avert
them by employing japanese owned
steamers alone for transport purposes.
But the Picking Government dld not
exercise equal fOrethOught, and thus,
at the crisis OF the complication, a
British steamer was found carrying
Chinese troops and conveyed by Chi
nese men-Of-war prepared TO fire upon
anv Japanese cruiser that crossed
their path. II is not to be supposed
for an instant that Japan was bound
TO refrain from opposing the transport
of troops to be employed against her
self merely because a British steaner
had been chartered TO carry them II
one British steamer had the right 10
perform such a service unmOIesteu,

The Japan Mail is one of the few
English newspapers published IN
Japan which is friendly to the Jap
anese cause, and it states It's views
with force and moderation which
invite confidence. 1t Is hardly
possible, however, at present, to
form a safe opinion on the how-
shung affair. The testimony OF the
German officer, Won Hanneken, is
unfavorable to Japan, but the I'M
partially of his testimony is to
some extent discounted by the fact
that he was in the Chinese service.

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE K0WSBUNG
INCIDENT.

The japanese papers both native
and English are full of the Kow-
shung affair, which they dis
cuss from every point OF view.
The Japan Mail, in a long edi-
torial article which reviews al the
events leading up to the war, pub
fishes an account Of the sinking OF
the Kowshung. which puts that
event in quite a different light
from that in which it has hitherto
been viewed. We quote as fol-
lows:
The Chinese men-Of-war, conveying
a transport bound for ASan, with
1900 troops on board, encountered and
fred upon three japanese cruisers.
One OF the Chinese ships was taken:
another was so shattered that she had
70 be beached and abandoned; the
zhird escaped TO China in diiapi-
dated condition, and the transport
was sunk, while the sum of the IN
.iuries received by the japanese ships
was one shell that penetrated the

failed TO explode. Unfortunately, the
transport was a British steamer char-
tered by the Chinese ostensloiy lor

TRUE TO ANNEXATION.

One of the royalist papers pre-
tends that the government has
abandoned the policy of annexa-
ton, because President Dole's re-
ply to Minister Willis, last Mon
day, made no allusion to the sub
iect. The inference is wanting in
all FEASIBILITY, and has not the
smallest foundation in fact. In
the absence of any indication that
the Cleveland administration has
any desire for annexation, in the
presence of number of indications
to a directly opposite effect, any
allusion to the subject on the part
of President Dole would have been
uncalled for. 1t would have
amounted to an introduction OF
controversial matter into n friendly
meeting. Good taste and common
sense both suggested omission OF
all reference to the subject.
The policy of the Hawaiian
Government continues to be the
same policy of political union with
the United States which came to
the front or January l., 1898, and
which has stayed at the front ever
since. If Hawaii does not become
part of the Union, it will be
because the Union does not want
her. The obstacle will be in Wash
ington not in Honolulu. The rea-
sons for annexation which were
valid two years ago, are no less
valid today. There is only one
cause which can solidify all the
opponents Of monarchical govern
ment in this country, and that IS
the cause Of annexation. 1t viii
noe be betrayed, aud in the end.
: 1t must inevitably win.

has been dissipating for several
years, so that, although he is
scarcely forty years old, he is a
physical wreck. I'VE regret this
exceedingly" said one of the mis-
sionaries, "as he helped us very
much. On the kings death IL is
probable that the government OF
Siam will 90 to pieces. The esti-

Then President Mcbride. OF the Miners

This was done. and a conference lasting

President Mcbride offered a resolution
reciting that: Wheras. a large number
of operators who had refused to attend
the conference and refused the hand of
recolliation and peace which had been
extended TO them, the miners believed
that any settlement arrived at In the
absence OF those operators would ony

condition OF the miners. and II was in,-

operators who had met them there.

ATLANTA, GA. May 1.-THE Populist
State convention this morning nominated
J. X. Hines, OF Atlanta. for Governor.
Mr.. Hines Is a well known attorney. who
was at one time judge OF the Superior
Court. in Georgia, and who has affiliated
with the Democratic party mp TO few
weeks ago. when he published a letter
announcing his conversion to the doc
trines OF the Peoples party.
The platform adopted relterates the
principles Of the party. Resolutions were
passed thanking the Atlanta Constitu-
tion and denouncing the Atlanta jour
nal. and the convection adjourned.
The preamble Of the platform says
1--WE, the Peoples Party OF the state
OF Georgia, believe In the principles or
the Government promulgated and ex-
pounded by Thomas Jefferson. and we
believe our resoute adherence 20 the
principles laid down by the great South
ern statesman, who. with the beginning
of our political history. combatted the
schemes in money power (as outlined by
Alexander Hamllton), and who predicted
the ruin which would fall on this country
when concentrated wealth should dictate
its legislation.
I'VE oppose as nc did. the perpetuation
OF the public debt and the policy OF is
suing non-taxable, Understanding bonds.
whereby large portion OF the concen-
trated wealth OF the land reaps a harvest
from the taxing OF the unprivileged.
I'VE oppose. as he did the national
banks. as being OF deadly hostility to
the spirit OF our republican institutions.
I'VE believe, az he did. in the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver and the issue
of treasury notes TO Increase the volume
OF currency when the necessities Of busi-
ness demand more. Like him. We believe
I'm a progressive income tax 10 discourage
the extensive concentration of wealth.
and to compel our selfish milionaires TO
contribute 10 the support OF the Govern
ment which protects them. Like him, we
believe that the life Of this Republic
depends upon the purity Of elections and
In obedience to the will OF the majority.
I'VE hereby renew our unqualified en-
dorsement OF the national platform OF
,he Peoples party. and we favor I'm the
State of Georgia the following reforms"
The platform then declares In favor
Of the abolition OF the present state
convict system: for furnishing primary
school books by the State; for the Aus

Senator Hunton has steadily rel u
90 i've the name Of the man who called
upon his son In Warrenton' ana an III
terview published in New York from
post,naster Carlin. of Alexandria, repre-
sants that gentleman as saying that Two
men called upon Mr.. Eppa Hunton, Jr''
and that in his anger at their proposition
he dismissed them without obtaining
their names. although Senator Kyle's
secretary positively afIirms that Major
Ruttz was the man that called upon
him. .,,.-
II as a well-known fact that Major
Ruttz ia not a man of any means, and IL
is generally stated that he Is without
anv such connections as would be able
TO control $4,000 for any purpose What-
ever. and the idea generally prevails that
he was simply casting about on his own
resnonsiblitv in the vain hope OF securing
some pledge upon which he could traihc
or bargain with some manufacturer whose
profits are endangered by the pending
bill.
Others claim, however, that Major
Buttz was really serving some eastern
interests. and was selected in their des-
peration to approach these senator's
against whose probity no breath Of re-
proach had ever come.
The former case seems 10 be more
generally accepted, and In the event that
Major Buttz is eventually proved to
have actually made these offers, this
will probaly be the basis upon which the
situation will rest
As far as the sugar part Of the inVesu-
cation is concerned there are now no in
dications Of the outcome. 1t is more than
likely that some Of the senators have
bought sugar stock during the past few
weeks but how this will be construed to
affect their personal or senatorial standing
is net yet clearly brought out. The in
vestigation will probably be begun with
out delay.

at bribery, but still he talked with me
at some length
Il have bribed no one said Major
