LoNDox.-In the House of Commons
James Henry Dalziel made a motion
that it was desired, while retaining in
tact the power and supremacy Of the
Imperial Parliament, to establish Leg
islature for Scotland to deal with Scot
tish affairs. In speaking of his motion
he said nobody would say that the House
OF Commons WAS SO congested that q
new and bold departure was necessary.
The governments proposal to appoint q
grand committee TO deal with Scottish
affairs WAS only temporary expedient.
The Scottish members OF the House had
voted for home rule for Scotland. They
entertained no anti English feeling, their
cole object being to procure for Scotland
legislation that was impossible under
existing conditions. The House adopted

The ashes Of wood contain every ele-
ment taken from the soil by plants Of
all kinds. While there il Q difference
between plants 10 some extent, there il
a close resemblance between them in the
quantity and kind OF mineral matters
they contain. These consist Of potash,
lime, phoephoric acid, alumina, magne-
STA, soda and silica chiefly. The most
important of these are the first three,
and the potash especially. The compo-
sition OF ashee varies mostly in the pro-
portion of lime and potash they contain,
this being from few per cent to 20 or
more OF the first and from s to 80 Of the
latter. The wood ashes known a. Cam
ada ashee in the market have an average
of 8 per cent Of potash and so Of lime
when unleached, and little more lime
and about l per cent Of potash in the
leached. The phoephoric acid 10 from
2 to per cent in both kinds; the potash
is the most soluble part Of the ashes.
As they have quite . large amount Of
lime, there is no necessity to mix lime
with them for use rs fertilizer, bat il is
useful TO add some phosphate and some
kind of heterogeneous substance with them
TO make them 4 complete fertilizer. Thus
q ton OF ashes may have 800 pounds OF
fine ground bone or good superphoephate
and 100 pounds Of nitrate Of soda or OF
dried blood and flesh fertilizer added for
one acre. In the use Of these fertilizers

SALOON LICENSES.

Police Commissioners Refuse to Re-
commend One for John Freitas.
There was short session of the Police
Commissioners yesterday afternoon, at
which very little business was done.
e. c. Hart presented an application
from John Freitas for recommendation
to conduct saloon at Third and L streets,
but Commissioner Buckley alone favored
it. Mayor Steinman said he had voted
for the revocation of Freitas' license on
the recommendation of Chief of Police
Rodgers, and would stand by that.
Chief Rodgers said it was one of the
hardest corners in the city, and he was
not in favor of Freitas reopening his
saloon.
Mr.. Hart was advised to lay his apph-
cation before the new Board of Trustees.
4 number of residents of the vicinity
of Eighteenth and | streets petitioned
that the license OF Morreil IL Purcell 10
sell liquor there be revoked.
There was also received a communica
ton from other residents in favor of the
retention of the license. and it was de-
cided to take no action unless circum-
stances should warrant the revocation Of
the license.
The only other business transacted was
the appointment of j. NJ. Woods to act as
special policeman at the State House
Hotel.
