SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-THE Mar
iposa, just arrived from Honolulu,
brought the following correspondence
of the Associated Press. dated March 8:
A anne was afoar Sunday night TO
the effect that martial law was to be
declared ON Monday, but ms yet nothing
has come of 1t. The marshal was seen
and denied the rnmor, but nevertheless
II Is believed that there was some
truth in it, and that the gov
eminent had such an intention.
Il ID known that some fears were felt
by the government that IL news
OF q nature unkavorabie TO the ex-
queens cause should arrive, the Royal
lists would make . Last desperate at-
tempt to restore the queen. For this
the plan OF declaring martial law
was proposed, and the government was
ready to take steps to prevent trouble.
A prominent government official said as
much TO the Associated Press correspon-
dent, and also that it was only at the
last moment that the idea was aban-
doned.
News Of the report of the United States
senate committee was received with
great demonstrations Of joy by the An
nexation party. They claim that IL ID
precursor Of annexation, and the more
sanguine that this will be at
tanned during the Cleveland administra-
ton. The news seems to have affected
Royalists more seriously than any that
they have yet received. The Bulletin,
the ex-queen's>organ, is bitterly severe
upon the action. News condemnatory
of Stevens action was confidently ex-
pected, and the report was a great dis
appointment.

SMUTTY WHEAT.
How Farmers May Avoid IT, Practical
Suggestions for It's Eradication.

The Van Dusen Harrington Co. OF
Minneapolis has issued q arc OF infor-
nation concerning smutty wheat, some
OF the suggestions Of which will be In
terest to farmers at this particular
season OF the year. "A, M. Cloyd. os Ed
mnnds county, 8. d., writes:
Ia the spring OF 1884 my seed wheat
was smutty and I sowed twenty acres
without using yitrol Tor any thing else),
sowed forty acres from the same seed
which I doctored with vitrol BY dampen-
ing it with the dilution in q wagon-box
and Let stand over night. The result
was not q head OF smut could befound in
the forty acres thus treated, but the
twenty acres not treated was almost
ruined with emut. Others whom / know
have not failed to exterminate smut by
dampening their seed with blue vitrol
diluted. The point which I wish to
show lie that ii ID not necessary to soak
the wheat, but use the much more
speedy and easy way Of dampening the
wheat which is just as effsctual TO Kill
the smut.
dissolve one pound OF pulverized
bluestone (blue vitrol) ia boiling water;
add water 10 make five gallons; spread 10
bushels OF grain on the barn floor about
four inches deep; sprinkle with the soln-
tion, using watering pot (painted inside
and out); turn thorongly with shovel,
sprinkle again; turn again till all ID wet;
pile up IN q heap as sharp as it will stand;
cover with your sacks, horse blankets or
anything tight; let 1T remain % night.
Sow when you get ready. IL 10 o dead

"Lime will kill smut in wheat, and IL
is much less labor to use it than sulphate
OF copper. Il 10 necessary to wet the
grain. Spread the wheat Ave or six
inches deep on the barn or Hranary floor.
Sprinkle over it q small quantity Of fresh
slaked lime. I have never measured il
and do not know just how much should
be used on q given quantity or grain but
think three or four quarts is sufficient
for ten bushels. Shovel it over two or
three times, OF until everY grain ia
Toured with lime. 1t will require less
time and less shoveling than one would
suppose. The lime adheres TO
the, grain and if the soil ID
wet enough for the wheat 70
grow it will wet the lime. Eight years
ago my wheat was quite smutty. I pre-
pared it for sowing No above described
and have had no trouble with smut
since. Some Of my neighbors have
tried the same preventive applied in
the sauae way With equal success"

The policy OF wearing out the enemy
in war by delays, misleading move
ments, feints of attack, etc, while
avoiding open battle, is called the
"Fabian policy" from the following
circumstances Fabius Maximus was
II Roman general in the second Punic
var. Having been appointed just
after the Roman army had suffered
severe defeat at Lake Thrasymene, he
perceived that his disheartened troops
and bands Of raw recruits could not
oppose successfully trained army
flushed with victory and led by their
great commander, Hannibal. lie
| therefore avoided pitched battles,
moved his camp from highland to
highland, and tired out the enemy
with marches aud countermarches
/ This he continued until thwarted in
his calculations by the impotence O
the Roman senate.
