APARTMENT OF MISSOURI.

20 Aid the United States Marshals to
,,snerse, Capture or Destroy All
,d,.s of Men Obstructing the Mail
,t.s in Hostility to InjunctiOns.
cn,c.ao. July l0.-The following order
;ssued this afternoon by General
Niles addressed to all United States
,-oons serving in the Department of the
Missouri
rho acts of violence committed in the
,..t few DAYS in the stopping OF mail
s.ains and postroads; the blocking OF
;.,orstate commerce; the open defiance
and violation OF the injunction of the
Tilted States Courts; the assaults upon
.ho Federal forces in the lawful dis
.horce of their duties; the destruction,
aiIace and looting of the inland com
perce property belonging to citizens OF
.ho different States, and other acts of
anbollion and lawlessness have been of
srch serious nature that the duties of
the military authorities are more clearly
defined. n.,
The proclamation OF the PRESIDENT,
.ha Commander int Chief OF the land
ad naval forces, and the State militia,
hen called on to serve, is understood
NV the military to be in the interest of
bgmanity and to avoid the useless waste
~ life. If possible. 1t is an executive
order for ali law biding citizens to separ-
ote themselves from the law-breakers
and those in actual hostility to the action
ofthe United States Courts and the laws
NJ the national government. He has
defined the attitude of these law break
ers TO be enemies OF the government,
and hence it is the duty Of the military
iorces to aid the United States Marshals
IN dispense, capture or destroy all bodies
ri men obstructing the mail routes, and
in actual hostility to the injunction OF
the United States Courts and the laws
Of the United States.
This does not change the relationship
If the Federal officials with the local
authorities, as it is expected the state
and municipal governments will main
tain peace and good order within the
territory of their jurisdiction. Should
tbey fail or be overpowered, the military
hrces will assist them, but not to the
extent OF leaving unprotected property
belonging to or under the protection OF
me- United States. The officer in the
immediate command of the troops must
ethe Judge as to what use to make OF
@iorces at his command in executing
GSorder in case serious action be re-
quired, and when he has the time he
win communicate with his next supe-
rior for his instructions. The earnest
efforts OF the law-abiding citizens have
done much to improve the condition OF
affairs during the last few days, and |
can earnestly request all the law-abid-
ing citizens to do whatever is possible to
assist in maintaining the civil govern
ment and the authority of the municipal,
State and Federal governments in pre-
serving peace and good order,

DECREASE IN THE CATCH.
Pack of Royal ChinoOks VIII Fall Fa'
Short of Previous Years.

ASTORIA, Or, July 10.-During the
past week there was marked decrease
in the quantity of salmon received at
the various canneries here. NJ. }. Kin
ney who began operations at the old
Devlin cannery thirty-six hours after
the fire which destroyed the great build
ings of the Astoria Packing Company,
put up but LOO cases of Chinook fish
during the six days ending Saturday
night which is a shortage of over 1000
cases as compared with the correspond
ing week last year. From almost all of
the other packing establishments re-
ports of large shortages are received. 1t
was the opinion here up to ten days ago
that the total pack for the season would
not be more than $4,000 or $4,000 cases
short, but fears are now entertained That
the shortage will be much greater.
The traps are yielding large quantities
OF bluebacks, and at the Cascades Me-
Gowan Bros. are doing better in pack
ing this variety of fish than for some
years past, but it is almost settled TACT
that the pack of royal chinook fish Will
iall far short of that of any previous
year in the history of the industry.
Usually July is the best month OF the
season, but it is thought that the gener-
ally fine weather since April was the
means of bringing the fish in earlier
than has been the rule formerly. Prep
arations are being made at the site OF
the Astoria Packing Company to resume
operations there on a small scale Wednes-
day, in order that, should there be an
Improvement in the catch, the fish may
be handled. So far, however, the plant
at the old Devln cannery, now the prop
erty OF the Astoria Packing Company,
has been much more than adequate to
take care of all the salmon that was Sc
cured.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Curtis
has filed with Fish and Game Protector
Mcclure his report of arrests during
the month of June for violations OF the
nsh and game laws, particularly fishing
Tor salmon during the weekly close sea-
son. The report shows that ten Offend
ers in oil were arrested, the fine in each
case being $50, which, with the sales of
web seized by the officers, brought the
iorfeitures up to $3.50. Several nets were
seized, the owners of which were not ar
rested, and in these cases civil suits have
been brought by the State to have the
nets forfeited and sold to pay costs.

MARKET ANIMALS.
They Should be Reasonably Fat
for This Purpose.
TO TRAIN TOMATO PLANTS.

Pruning Away Surplus shoots and Tying
the Plants to supports Exposes tho
Fruit to the Sunlight and FaVors Its
Early Developments.
The Ohio experiment station in one OF
its bulletins gives the following direc-
tions for stalking and pruning When
pruned and stalled tomato plants will
bear much closer planting in the field
than if left to themselves. Two feet by
four is about the proper distance, As
soon as the plants are set in the field
they ought to be tied. In order to pro-
vide for this the following plan has been
found to be satisfactory: Set strong
stakes at each end of every row, and
brace carefully. Smaller stakes may be
set at intervals OF two rods along the
rows. These stakes should be about
three and one-half feet in height. Next
stretch two wires OF about the size used
in baling hay along the tops of the stakes
in each row. Take ordinary lath or small
sticks of any kind, of the same length
as lath, and stick one just at the side OF
the place that each plant is to occupy.
The upper ends of the stakes are held in
place by crossing the two wires back and
forth-that is, by weaving the wires
around the tops of the stakes or laths.
This makes a neat little trellis, sufficient
ly substantial for one season, but the
material can be used several years in
succession. The plants are trained to
single stems and tied to the lath sup
ports. OF course, tying must be done at
successive intervals as the plants increase
in height, until the top of the trellis is
reached, after which nothing further
need be done in the way of training. All
side shoots near the ground and suckers
must be kept pnched off, as the object
to be gained in stalking would be lost
otherwise. None of the blossoms are to
be removed, but simply the leafy shoots
and such, which bear no blossoms and
come out near the ground and at inter
walls along the main stock. Pruning
away these surplus shoots and tying the
plants to supports exposes the fruit to
the sunlight, and faeors early develop
ment in marked degree. Tomatoes
thus trained ripen about two weeks in
advance of those which are allowed to
lie on the ground, are freer from rot and
larger. The crop per plant is less than
by the ordinary method, but because of
the higher prices obtained for the fruit
the profits are larger.

CHICAGO, July lit is labor lost +;
not fifty Mayors would have the slightest
effect on the Pullman Company" said
Mayor Hopkins when asked if Mayor
Pingree of Detroit had asked him to
become one of the fifty Mayors to join
in an appeal to George NJ. Pullman to
allow the differences between him and
his men to be submitted to arbitration.
"Mayor Pingree thought there was no
need of asking me to join him in such
an appeal, " said the Mayor. " My posi-
ton is pretty well known. But fifty
Mayors will have no effect on the Pull
man Company; no nor l5O nor 800.
Everyone is ignored by this company.
However, it will take Pullman years to
recover from this trouble. He will find
that he is boycotted without unit in
action or effect by the American people.
The business will go to Pullman's com
petitors. Then he will realize the mis-
take of his position to-day"

HOW TO FATTEN.
All Animals Intended for Market should
be Reasonably Fat.

ne hthSohabiy hAs
The market demands that all animals
intended for meat should be reasonably
fat before they can be considered as be-
ing fit for market Generally this inn
plies the feeding of a fattening ration for
at least a short time before sending to
market. How long this feeding should
be kept up must be largely determined
by the condition of the animal. One
advantage in keeping all animals IN
tended for meat in good, thrifty condl-
ton during growth is that but II short
feed will be required to properly finish
for market. While fat is essential IN Sc
curing the best price, an excess OF tat
rather reduces than increases the proht.
The careful feeder must be able to de-
termine when the most profitable stage
has been reached and then sell. In
nearly all cases and in nearly all
seasons in order to feed to the best
advantage it will be best in fattening to
gradually increase the rations until they
are on full feed rather than to feed heav-
ily from the start. One objection to put
ting on feed too suddenly is the danger
of putting the animal off its feed. Often
when this is done it will require several
days of careful feeding to get back to a
good, thrifty gain, and this is so much
really lost. Stock can be fattened at any
time, provided good care is taken in the
management; but the hot weather of the
summer and the extremely cold weather
of winter are the most uniavorable sea-
sons, and generally it will be found a
good plan to manage to feed so that 1t
will not be necessary to fatten at these
times

NITROGEN FOR PLANTS.
1t 10 the Most valuable Element Of Fer
tiIity in the Soil.

1t 10 the Most valuable Element of Fer
tiIity in the Soil.
Nitrogen is the most valuable element
of fertility in soil, is the most abundant
one in nature, and is about the hardest
one to get in form available for plant
food. The air we breathe is about four
fifths nitrogen, the other fifth being OK
ygen. In breathing we use the oxygen
and discard the nitrogen. Pure oxygen
would be too strong, and we should be
killed by breathing it, and nitrogen has
been regarded as merely a diluting ma
terial. All attempts to secure this nj
trogen from the air in shape in which
it would be available for plant food have
failed, but it has been discovered within
a few years that the leguminous plants,
cloyers, peas, beans, yetches, can grow
without being supplied with nitrogen
through the agency of bacteria OF MI
crobes, very low forms OF life, certain
varieties of which are found where legu-
minous plants have been grown.
Whether this be true or not, it is certain
that crops of any Of these legumlnous
plants plowed under when in full bloom
will fertilize the soil and enable 1T TO
produce good crops sooner and cheaper
than any other agency. For this reason
those who own farms which are at all
sterile in the North should grow clover,
and those in the South should grow COW
peas. The study of farm chemistry is
very interesting one.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 11.-Ex-President
Benjamin Harrison, having been quoted
as saying President Cleveland has estab-
lished new precedent in sending Fed
eral troops into State without request
from the Governor of the State and over
his protest said to-day: 81 have never
said what | am quoted as saying as to
the use of United States troops by the
President, nor do | think the President
has transcribed his powers. On the
other hand, | believe there is no spot in
the United States where United States
troops may not go under such orders
without asking anybody's consent, and
that the enforcement OF the laws OF the
United States is the sworn duty OF the
President, and the army is an appropri-
ate instrument to use in the enforcement
of these laws where they are violently
resisted and the civil officers are unable
to deal with the situation. If the posse
comitatus law limits the Presidents con-
stitutional power at all, which is very
doubtful, it only requires the proclama-
ton to precede the use of troops"

VERY LITTLE FRICTION.
The Naval Appropriation Bill Passes
the Senate.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The naval APP
preparation bill was passed in the SEN
ate to-day with very little friction or
delay. There was one amendment Of
fered that might have led to considerable
debate. 1t was for the construction of
two new steel-armored cruisers at cost
not exceeding 50, $50, 900 each. German,
who was in charge Of the bill, requested
that the amendment should be with
drawn on the grounds that by 1896 the
thirteen cruisers now in course OF con-
struction would be completed and would
furnish a very respectable navy, and
that in the present depressed condition
of business and the existing state OF the
nations finances it was desirable to keep
down expenses. Daniel, who offered the
amendment, recognized the force of the
suggestions, and in accordance with Cor
mans request Withdrew the amendment.
White of California called attention to
the action of the committee in striking
out the appropriation OF $50, 600 for a
steam tug for the Mare Island navy yard,
and had read a letter from the Secretary
of the Navy indorsing the necessity for
the tug. The appropriation was allowed
to stand. Allen offered an amendment,
which was agreed to, providing that all
appointees as naval cadets shall have
been actual residents OF the district from
which appointed for at least two years
previous to their appointments.
The House bill to amend the law rcla-
tive to mining claims was also passed.
1t provides for the temporary suspen-
sion of the requirement that certain
sum of money shall be expended each
year on mining claims until patent
shall have been granted.

NEE PIERCE TREATY.
1t win Open Half Million Acres of
Land to Settlements.

Aand To settlement
WASHINGTON, July lO.-Representa-
tive Wilson from the Committee on
Indian Affairs has submit ted an extended
report on the bill to ra,iiy the agree
ment made with the Nez Perez tribe
of Indians for the sale of their surplus
lands, submitting also a substitute meas
ure, the passage of which is strongly
recommended.
May l, 1898, Robert Schleicher, James
F. Allen and Cyrus Beede concluded an
agreement with the Nez Perces by which
they released to the United States about
sos, 207 acres of land to be opened to
settlement under the provisions of the
homestead, townsite, timber and stone
and mineral laws of the United States.
The bill reported by the committee pro-
vided that persons entering these lands
shall pay 1915 per acre for agricultural
lands, and So per acre for timber and
stone and mineral lands.
1t is believed by the Committee on
Indian Affairs that the money received
from the sale of these lands at the prices
fixed in the bill will fully reimburse the
government for all expenditures made
in connection with the purchase of the
land or negotiation of the treaty, and all
incidental expenses in any manner con-
nected Herewith. The committee also
believe that the first payment made
under the treaty will be returned to the
treasury as quickly as settlers can make
the payments required under the bill.
In support of this proposition two state
ments are submitted, estimating, each
independently of the other, the classes
of land and the acreage Hereunder,
thrown open to settlement by the terms
of the treaty referred to.
The first estimate was submitted by
Robert Schleicher, Chairman of the COM
mission which negotiated the treaty,
and is as follows:
Prairie agricultural land
Timber agricultural land.,-.,................ $1,000
Mineral land NOUO
Tint cr and stone 1000
Mountainous land not estimated......... 1921 3
Total number acres under this estimate j6.2O -
The estimate thus made at the prices
fixed by the bill would bring to the gov
eminent the following sum:
10000 acres agricultural land at 1915
per .. Sl ,"iE,ouJ
7O,O6O acres tim DER agricultural land at
S375 per OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. Do, 500
20 900 acres mineral land at s. per acre. 100000

1t further appears, says the commit
tee, that Mr.. Schleicher has resided near
this reservation and in the county in
which it is situated many years. He is

DOES ELEcTROcUTloN KILL?
An Experiment to Be Tried at the Next
New J Ork Execution.

Albany, n. Y. Nov 11-Governor
Flower is willing to allow experts to
make q test to ascertain whether a man
killed in the electrical chair can be re-
scusitated. Ever since the adoption of
the electrical act by the state, the West
inghouse people. whose dynamos are
used, have declared electricity was not
the cause of death. but that death was
assured by the holding of the autopsy
directly after the body had been taken
from the electrical chair. No less an
authority than Nicola Tesla, the ia
nous electrician, contended that he
could bring back to life a man killed
in the electrical chair, provided the at
tempt was made Immediately after the
execution. Westinghouse always as
serted that an electrical death was q
shame and that the New York commits
sion, headed by Elbridge T. Gerry had
added an autopsy clause to make sure
of death. Within the last few weeks,
agitation Of the subject has become
keen and an appeal is to be made to the
governor to allow the next man con-
demned to be a subject to be expert
mented on. The governor says he will
grant permission to do this If sue
cessful, the experiment will bring to
life new man, who can not be exc
cuted, having once suffered the penalty
of death. 1t will also prove that the
state executoners have been surgeons
who have held an autopsy rather than
state electricians.

New York, Nov 13.--The second
nights billiard tourney between Jacob
Shaeffer and Frank c. Ives at the Madi-
son Square concert hall drew a good
crowd. Shaetfer opened tonight with
q run of 80. He missed an open short
shot and Ives failed On the same shot
The wizard then managed to score
and Ives got the balls together ana
worked them all around the table He
kept up the run until it reached Isl,
when he failed on a draw shot inside the
line. The score then stood: Ives, 722.
Shaeffer 632.
After some unproductiVe playing on
both sides the balls We're in fine posi-
ton IN the corner and Ives, by nursing
them, made a phenomenal run of 223
points. Up TO this time Shaeffer had
only A points his highest run being at
the opening. This made the score:
Ives, ,l04; Shaeffer. Cos
The wizard ran up Is points and
missed. Ives ran to 81, when tie missed
an open shot. Shaeffer made a run
Of 124 His 123d shot was a pretty draw,
which e.erned applause He failed on
& similar shot and Ives also missed.
Shaeifer tried again but made only .,
leaving the balls together at the end
of the table. Ives had to be satisfied
with a run of 10, and Shaeffer ran At.
Ives had only - more to run out his
score of ZOO. This he did in an easy
manner, keeping the balls in close range
on the rail and going outside only when
it was necessary. Ives average was
