SENIOR MARAGUA.
Instructed to Open Negotiations
for a New Treaty.
UNITED STATES AND SPAIN

He Says Our Trade with the Spanish
Antilles viii Average Twenty Mill
ions "a Year-Hopeful of Accomplish
ing Reciprocal Trade Relations.
WASHINGTON, September 22.-Senor
Nicaragua, the Spanish Minister, author
ICES the following statement as to recent
cable reports that Spain had instructed
him to open negotiations for new COM
mercial treaty:
"Since the reciprocity arrangements
a brisk trade has been carried on be-
tween the United States and Cuba and
Porto Rico composed principally of farm
products, which runs up into the mill
ions, say an average OF So, 600, 900 yearly
for American exports. 1t is as much in
the interest of the United States as of
Spain that the exchange of mutual COM
modities should not collapse. The Ameri-
can sugar producers do not raise the
tenth part of the home consumption,
and struggle besides under the disad-
vantages of climate, soil and price of
labor. Americans, therefore, need our
sugar, and their refining industries are
largely benefited by it, as well as the
farming products, which find a ready
market for their surplus in Cuba and
Porto Rico. Everything points to the
necessity of a fair and equitable under
standing, even if it should not assume
the formalities of treaty."
Spain has already freed from duty all
goods which left this country prior to
August 81 last, the date the new tariff
took effect. Secretary Carlisle has de-
clined like concession toward Cuban
sugar and other products shipped prior
to August q, but landed in this country
after that day. This has created quite
an agitation in Cuba. So far as Cuba is
concerned, at least, the Spanish au-
thorities, it is said, feel hopeful OF &C
complishing something in the line OF
reciprocal trade relations.

DRIED FRUIT TRADE.
War Between the Fruit Dealers and the
Horticulturists.

War Between the Fruit Dealers and the
Horticulturists.
SAN Francisco, September 22.-There
is block in the dried fruit trade, which
should be in full activity at this time. A
large section of growers are holding out
for better prices than rule in the San
Francisco market, and to the perplexity
OF the commission merchants telegraph
orders are being received from the East
at figures that will not permit of their
being filed This condition of affairs
has produced tension between the fruit
dealers and the horticulturists, which
has led to an acrimonious discussion be-
tween the Fruit Produce Exchange and
the California Fruit Exchange, repre-
senting the opposing interests. ACCUSE
tions of depressing the Eastern markets
for the purpose of speculation are made
against the city merchants, while they
charge that the policy pursued by the
country element is bringing disaster on
the industry. This lamentable condi-
ton OF affairs is well known east of the
mountains, and is being taken advan-
tage of by orders.
The growers this season are in meas
ure Independent of the San Francisco
fruit houses. By the formation of local
exchanges they have been able to obtain
advances from the country banks, which
they are not called upon to pay at once,
and they threaten through the Cali
fornia Fruit Exchange to deal directly
with the brokers in Eastern towns at
higher prices than are quoted by the
Fruit Produce Exchange. In the Santa
Clara Valley, Vacaville and Winters dis
tricts they are pillng up their fruit in
warehouses. Sonoma, Napa and some
of the Southern counties are, however,
selling through the San Francisco mer-
chants. 1t is stated at the California
Fruit Exchange that the policy pursued
by the local exchanges has been pushed
too far and may lead to loss. The recon-
mendation sent out from the central
body of the local exchanges was to sell
the lower grades of fruits at current
prices and to hold on to the higher.
Instead all kinds are being held for an
advance of from to Scents a pound, ac-
cording to the kind and quality of fruit.
The commission merchants say they
have been forced in the absence of Or
ders to become spectators to certain
extent. They assert they have always
furnished advances to the growers, stand
ing the interest and the loss on rejection
of goods on a falling market, and their
wrath at being charged with thievery by
a San Francisco paper knows no bounds

LITTLE Rock, Ark, September 23.-
Since Saturday the Missouri Pacific is
said to have discharged fourteen fremen
and six engineers at this end OF the line
and eight or ten fremen at Van Buren,
on the charge of being implicated in the
recent strike or expressing sympathy
with it. There are said to be twenty
five more names on the list to be dis
charged. The railroad men are much
excited over this action, and state on
good authority that the Brotherhoods OF
Locomotive Firemen and Engineers have
issued an ultimatum to the effect that,
unless the company restores the men by
September 20, general strike will be
declared.

UNITED STATES ARMY.
why the Latest Order of General Scho-
field Was withheld.

WASHINGTON, September Cot was
perhaps with view to the unexpected
execution of the plan for the concentra-
ton of troops and the reduction of a
number of army posts that the formal
order to give it effect was withheld until
Congress had adjourned and but few
Senators and Representatives remained
in Washington. By the terms of the
order nine posts are abandoned. They
are in the West, namely:
Fort Marcy, N. M. Fort Bowie, A. T. ;
Fort Mckinney, Wyo.; Fort Sully, s.
D.; Fort Supply, o. T.; Fort Mackinac,
Mich, and Newport Barracks, Ky.
These posts were much too numerous
in Western States, causing an expendi-
ture with regularity of large sums of
money by the garrisons and encouraging
business generally. 1t was not supposed
that they could be abandoned without
some opposition, and already a flood OF
protests have begun to pour in upon the
War Department, demonstrating against
the changes in every case. General
Schotield, who is acting as Secretary of
War, has to bear the brunt, but he is
laying aside the papers until the return
of Secretary Lamont, who must pass
upon them in the end.

BUTTER Sailing.
1t is False Economy to Use So
Called Cheap Salt.
BRINE IS THE BEST METHOD

Question Involved in Some Difficulty
when Definite Answer is Required
AS to the Exact Amount of Salt to "a
Pound OF Butter.
The question of sailing butter is in
volved in some difficulty when definite
answer is required as to the exact amount
of salt to a pound of butter. All of
which depends on the taste of the Gus
toners. One customer likes as much as
one and half ounces to the pound, while
another desires no more than half an
ounce. Then there is the question OF
the manner in which the salt is added,
whether in a dry state or in the form of
brine.
This is point on which many people
differ. 1t is difficult to lay down hard
and-fast rule, says an eX-dairy teacher in
London Dairy, as to the strength OF
brine, when brine is used. In its use a
dairy maid ought to make the brine OF
the strength best calculated to suit the
market to which she sends the butter.
Should only very slightly sailed butter
be required, as for the London market,
one pound of good salt to a gallon of
water, left on the butter for about ten
minutes, will be sufficient; enough brine
should be used to cover the grains thor
oughly. As a general rule, Il little less
brine than the quantity OF cream put in
the churn should be used. II more
fully sailed butter be desired, the amount
of salt to the gallon should be increased
and allowed to remain longer time on
the grains of butter-say twenty min
utes to half an hour. | certainly con-
slider sailing by means OF brine the best
method, if carried out with Judgment.
| find there are many who have tried
brine and given it up because they fail
to get the butter sufficiently salt; and
on inquiry generally find the butter is
churned into Jumps before brining.
| Done in this way it is useless, as 1t
would be hours before the salt had
penetrated to the center of each lump,
while the exterior would be too salt,
| failing to effect that uniformity which
should be the aim and object of all good
| buttermakers. On the other hand, if
the grains are no larger than wheat at
the time of brining, the salt will quickly
penetrate, distributing it far more evenly
than by dry sailing, and also, in my
opinion, improving the color, flavor and
| texture. Should the dairymaid be
churning daily, and desires to be eco
nomical, she can with safety, if the brine
| he clear when dra,v-, OIL, use II efsai,, Co.
me next lot of butter--ol course adding
little salt to make up for that incor-
porated in the previous days butter.
| The salt used should always be of the
best quality, either for dry sailing or
brining-though it is perhaps not quite
SO important in the latter case. The
use of inferior salt often spoils large
quantities OF butter placed on the mar
ket, which otherwise might have been OF
good quality. 1t is false economy to use
so-called cheap salt, and especially as
reliable brand is now so easily obtain
able.

SIGNALING WITH MIRRORS.
The Long-Distance HeIiograph Record
Broken.

Broken.
DENVER, September 22.-Captain W.
A. Glassford, chief signal officer of the
United States army, department of Col
orado, accompanied by Sergeants John
McGlone, James II. Mclaughlin and
William Bessell, arrived in Denver to-
day direct from the snow-elad heights of
Mount Uncompahgre. With the assist
ance OF Sergeants Bartsh and Griffin,
stationed on Mount Ellen, they succeed
ed in breaking the worlds record for
long-distance Telegraph signaling.
Among the congratulatory messages re-
ceived by Captain Glasslord is one from
Chief Signal Officer A. w. Greeley at
Washington, and was sent by Photograph
to Mount Uncompahgre from here. 1t
is as follows:
Congratulations on the indefatigable
exertions and skilllul arrangements
whereby you have beaten the worlds
record for long-distance heliograph sig
mailing by fifty-eight miles. The United
States has reason to congratulate itself
upon the American ingenuity and assld-
uous exertions whereby its soldiers have
been enabled to transmit with a mirror
of sixty-four square inches rejecting
surface a message sixty-fve miles farther
than the famous LAUREL Mauritius line
between the Island of Mauritius and
Rivnion with its magnificent apparatus
and mirror of $1,000 inches OF rejecting
surface. This record must stand unsur-
passed for many years, if not for all
time"
The officers found the ascent OF Mount
Uncompahgre difficult, and suffered Sc
verely from the cold while there.

ton passed off quietly September 8, and
there has been no serious distur bance
recently. General Ortiz is prisoner at
Corinto. He is perhaps the ablest SOL
der in Nicaragua, and his arrest may
cause a revolution. September IL Senior
Madriz, Special Commissioner, issued
special decree prohibiting any stores on
Escondido or Blueields river. This
causes loss of thousands of dollars to
Americans. Orders have been issued
that any party flying a foreign flag, on
his property shall be fined l25 per day.

HE FAVORED GAMBLING.
Tenor of the Evidence In the Mayoralty
impeachment.

OMAHA, September 22.-The testimony
of many of the witnesses examined by
the prosecution in the impeachment
proceedings against Mayor Bemis to-day
tended to show that the city's executive
was not in favor of closing the gambling
houses, the principal charge against him.
All members of the fire and police COM
mission were questioned With refurence
to proving that in the transfer OF Bemls
Park to this city there was boodling.
The prosecution introduced City Clerk
Evans. The records of the city, Mr..
Evans averred, showed that the city had
purchased block in Bemis Par for
$50 600, the same having been selected
by the park commission one year before
Mayor Bems was elected to his first
term of office. Attorneys for the prose-
cution laid great stress upon the fact
that Mayor Bemis had sold the tract OF
land to the city, and that as a city Off
cial.he was interested in the sale. They
failed to put in any testimony showing
that all agreements for the purchase OF
land were not made prior to the time
when Bemis was first mentioned as a
candidate for the position of Mayor Of
the city. Council journal entries were
read to show the prices paid for park
tracts.

Type Abolished.
PHILADELPHIA, September pa new
system of measuring the volume of type
was adopted by the United States Ty-
potheta OF America last night. The
matter was brought up in the conven-
ton by President McFetridge, who
pointed out the disadvantages of the
present system OF the EN- standard OF
measure. The committee recommended
the adoption OF system OF measure
ment with the whole alphabet as a
standard system that would be equitable
to both employe and employer. 1t is
stated this system permitted the accu-
rate measure of the work actually done,
and customers could be made to under
stand that the use of broad-lace type
would cost more than narrow-faced.
There is no intention of reducing wages.

Usefulness Of Tank Steamers.

About all the molasses which comes
from Cuba to the United States is
brought in the same tanks in steamships
that are used TO carry petroleum AS
return cargo. The ships tanks are
about sixteen feet deep and have q neck
seven feet deep. They are pumped full
Of oil at Brooklyn or Philadel phia. then
taken to Havana, and the oil is pumped
ont into the tanks Of the refining plants
there. Molasses is brought from the in.
terror Of the island in huge hogheads,
which are EN- piied into the storage tanks.
A suction pump drawing about ten
thou sand gallons An hour fills each ships
tanks to within about two feet of the top,
that amount Of space being required for
the expansion OF the Inolasses. 1t might
be supposed that the petroleum would
have bad effect on the molasses, but 1t
has been shown that the contrary is the
case, and as nearly one-half the impor-
tation In made into rum and the balance
refined into sugar little oil Is not much
account. The tanks are cleaned after
the molasses has been pumped out by
turning in powerful steam jet, which
washes down the sides and liquefes
whatever molasses may be left in the
bottom Of the tank, and the suction
jump finishes the work. A cargo Of
molasses, which formerly required ten
or twelve days, can now be unloaded in
forty eight hours, while the difference in
the cost Of handling, to say nothing Of
the saving Of time, amounts to u large
sum. New York Tribune
