A New Insec Enemy to Sweet Pota-
toes.

Heretofore the sweet potato has been
structive enemy, but the Texas expert
ment station has recently disc covered q
pernicious pest in the shape of weevil-
like insect known as the Cylas Formicari-
u.s. In its larya state it appears as
little white worm boring into the tuber,
and feeding upon it's interior during the
winter and spring, leaving it finely honey
combed and unfit for human food. How
rapid the spread Of this enemy may prove,
and what remedy may be discovered Tor
it is yet to be developed. Have any of

BY using the Italian varieties and pro
curing fresh seeds of the same, sowing
the seeds at the proper time, and planting
on suitable land, there is no reason why
onions cannot be grown successfully from
the seeds anywhere in the south OF
course, the crop natures at different
time from what it does at the north, and
we cannot compete with that section in
growing crop that natures in the late
laIi, and as a consequence is more readily
preserved through the winter.
But for crop TO mature from May to
July l, or earlier, the advantage is with
the southern grower. In another place
we reproduce some notes on this subject
mat we gave year or two ago. In your
section the seeds can be sown in Novem
her or December right where the crop is

planting. a -S l.-., -
In Middle Georgia, more frequently
than not, the fall sown crop is killed by
freezes late in December or in January.
Consequently, transplanting is very nat
ufally resorJed TO.
On suitable land we would rather grow
crop from the seeds than from The sets,
as II can be done cheaper.

THE WAR IN THE EAST.

LONDON, Aug. 49, 1894.-The officials at
the japanese Legation say that they have
heard nothing to the effect that seven
Chinese vessels were sunk by the Japan
ese fleet on August 10 or IL. The report
is discredited.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Times says that 10000 japanese troops
have been landed in Corea, and that
more are landing almost constantly. The
Chinese fleet is passive.
I'm Japan the war fever is intense and
universal" says. the correspondent. "The

ROCK ISLAND STRIKE IN
CURRY.

CHICAGO, Aug 10, 1S94.-George w.
Lovejoy, an ex-employe of the Chicago
Rock Island g. Pacific Railroad was the
first witness before the Labor Commission
this morning. Mr.. Lovejoy testified that
the Rock Island road refused to tell him on
June whether he was discharged or not.
He was simply refused work. The road, he
declared, had adopted policy of throwing
out of work all members of the American
Railway Union. Mr.. Lovejoy said he had
lost his position because he came to chicago
as delegate of the A. r. U, convention.
The employees of the road at La Sale then
appointed Grievance Committee, winch
called Oh officers of the road and demanded
Lovejoy's reinstatement The officials re-
fused to consider the communication and
general strike was ordered This was the
beginning of the strike on the Rock Island.
Mr.. Loveioy asserted that the Rock Island
officers declared no union men should ever
work for the road at La Sale again.
Asked by Commissioner Wright his soiu-
tion of the strike problem. Nh. LoveJoy said
he thought government ownership would
solve the problem. He believed that the EN-
ployes would be better treated by the gov
ernment than by the railway managers and
that they would have their grievances in
vestigated and remedied, which was not the
cases now.
"How would you avoid the loss of places
that might ensue from change OF the poltl-
cal party in powers"
ttBy application of the civil service rules" 7"
The witness was in favor of the govern
ment's keeping hands off, as he expressed it,
whenever a strike was on. He did not be-
heve warfare would result from such state
of affairs.

DID THEY SEE GR0VER2
NIembers of the Royal Hawaiian

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16, 1S94.-The
four members of the Royal Hawaiian

redress for ex-Queen Liliuokalani, or to
prevent the recognition of the new re-
public left for Honolulu. via San Fran
cisco, at eight O'Clock last night over
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
Whatever the exact nature of their.
mysterious mission to Washington may
have been, it seems certain that it was
complete failure. Announcements made
by individual ENJOYS that they had OBJ
tanned an appointment for hearing at
the State Department turned out to be
untrue. Only one of them went to the
State Department, and he introduced
himself to Secreary Gresham, and was
simply given the hearing in the public
reception room which would be accord
ed to any private citizen or foreign Wis
itor calling on personal business. There
is every reason to believe also that the
royal envoys failed to see the President
before his departure for Buzzard's Bay.
If they did get admission to him it
must have been late last night, as up
to the close of official business at the
White House yesterday they had not

VIcToRIA's sHoRTBRBAD.

There is an old woman up at Perth in
Scotland who communicates with Queen
Victoria every day in the year. Her
Majesty is fond of most things Scotch,
among others, shortbread. Now, for some
reason or other, shortbread cannot be made
in England as it should be- But few years
ago Her Majesty discovered at Perth an old
woman who could make it as no one else,
even in Scotland, could make it. Since which
time the same aged dame has every day
baked with her own hands cake of short
bread, packed it herself and dipatched it
to her sovereign. Her Majesty makes little
or no difference with her dinner menu dur
ing Lent, which is very annoying to the
very High Church people of her household.
Queen Victoria spent her honeymoon in
Lent, while the Prince of Wales and his sis
ter, Princess Louise, were both married in
Lent. Her Majesty has fish put upon the
table at all meals on Fridays for those who
wish to partake to it; but one sacred habit
in the royal household is daily morning
prayer. which is vigorously insisted upon. ~

There were two alternatives-they must

Speaks Well of the City-Mr.
Reeds Souvenir.

Monsignor Satolli, the Papal Delegate,
Roman Catholic Church, Nelson avenue,
to a surprise party this morning. The dis
tinguished Archbishop of Lepanto, having
heard so much of the new church building
on Jersey City Heights and its hustling and
much respected rector, determined to take
peep at the one and make the acquaintance
of the other before leaving New York for
his home in Washington.
Accordingly this morning he, with the
Rev. DR.. Kennedy of Overbrooke Seminary
and the Rev DR. Shanahan of the Eternal
City, jumped into a carriage, and drove first
to the residence of Monsignor De Concilio on
Ninth street,
From thence they drove to st. Johns rec
tory and called on the Rev. Father Ter
WoerU, who, as as one may easily suppose,
was intensely surprised TO meet his early
visitors.
The party was escorted into the new build
ing and the delegate put all sorts of questions
as to the church, material and spiritual he
displayed the hveliest interest in the excel
lent appointments of the edlfce, and was
peculiarly gratifed with Father Ter Woert's
glowing account of the work done by the
congregation.
CONGRATULATES THE RECTOR.
Then after long and thorough investiga-
ton he turned to Father Ter Woert and paid
him many compliments for his work in the
parish and especially babe him pre-
sent to the congregation his con-
gratulations and admiration for their zeal.
Having rested few minutes, the party
drove around the city viewing the several
churches and public buildings. They arrived
at noon at Monsignor De Concilio's house,
where luncheon was spread.
Before partaking of that meal, Monsignor
Satolli was interviewed by a JERSEY CITY

esting message.
