the justices being present and the

justices for tho present would be post

There is an average of about 100 cases

there will be about Oh. The average
of G isposals for each term is 1870, and
this will leave over 400 undecided at
the end OF the present term. This
has been attained by reason Of the re-
lief afforded by the establishment OF
the court of appeals. which takes a
great burden from the supreme court,
which will eventually be able TO catch
up with the current work and clear
tbs docket at each session. The court
work heretofore has been about three
years In arrears, but it is believed
that within two years the docket will

Rice Cultivation In ,ladagascar,


The cultivation of rice in NADIA.
Eascar is highly developed in the IN.
terror Of the island. but much less
along the coast. where the law,
careless natives find the land more
fertile aud the temperature more
favorable. In some places, as in the
neighborhood of I'ananarive, i'm.
mense marshes, subject to annual in
undations and the source of malle-
nant fevers, have been transformed
into rice fields. In the mounta,n Gus
parts the rice fields are in terraces
on the slopes of the mountains and
the hills CT in the high valleys. The
water coming upon the high ones,
passes successfully to each level.
Ihere.are some remarkable works OF
this kind. and one often sees these
tiers of rice fields raised to the very
summit of the high mountains,
where the water is conducted by
means of little canals running at the
flank of the declivities and bringing
the water frequently several kilome.

Argentine. Brazil Boundary Question.

WASHINGTON. Oct. S.-President
Cleveland is expected to give his de-
cision as arbitrator of the important
boundary dispute between Brazil and
the Argentine republic soon after his
return from Buzlard's Bay. Baron
Rio-Branco, special envoy from Bra.
I'll, accompanied by large suite, is
now awaiting the decision. The case
has been in Mr.. Clevelan6's hands for
eight months, as the articles of arbi-
tration provide that the decision
must be made within year, it is be-
ing looked for almost any time. The
limit expires Feb. ~, but as Mr..
Cleveland will be busy with congress
and public affairs soon after his re.
turn, he is expected to dispose OF the
arbitration question before taking up
domestic affairs. It is understood
that he has made the arbitration his
special study during working hours at
Buzzard's Bay this summer.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. 49, Mjniste.
Ariaga OF Guatemala has been Off.
cially notified by the state depart
ment here that the new tariff law
terminates the reciprocity treaty be-
tween the United States and Guate-
mala, and he has transmitted the
notification to his government. He
has not yet received any directions
as to the course Guatemala will pur-
sue. He says, however, that no pro-
test Or other steps similar to those
taken by Spain, Germany and
Brazil is contemplated. "'There
will not be any discrimination
against the United States as re-
suit of the CHANGE said Ariaga.
Guatemala will merely re-establish
the old duties against the United
States, which will place this
country on the same footing with other
countries, but it is my personal opin-
ion that the reciprocity treaty was
very beneficial to both countries.n

act. The opinion further states that
the phrase "manuiactures of WOOL

to articles OF which wool as so de-
fined, although the material is
not the material OF chief
value. Immediately on receipt of
this opinion Secretary Carlisle sent
the following telegram to all collect
ors of customs. The attorney gen.
eral has rendered an opinion that the
word wool, as used in paragraph 212
OF the new tariff act, refers 10 the
hair of sheep only, and that the new
duties under said schedule X, upon
articles made Of the hair of other an
mails, went Immediately into effect
when the act took effect. Customs

lives and property of American resi-
dents in China, believed now to be
endangered by the rebellious and I'M

yesterday, stating that the European
powers are moving in that direction,

said that about three weeks ago he
had suggested to Admiral Carpenter
to confer with the commanders OF the
foreign ships in Chinese waters and
arrange to cooperate with them II

Born in Canada, he early enlisted
in the English army, and was sent
as lieutenant to India, where he
fought in several minor rcbcllions
1t was always said Of him that, while
he was brave, he had reason to be,
for he was impregnablc. This was
no doubt caused by the fact that he
possessed then, as he does now, a re-
remarkable power. the like OF which

he was engaged on a whaling ship
as a harpooner and made money
there. He has been in the United
States for ten years, though he went
to Bond Hill from Fall River only

old and goes about but little. His
power to cure headaches, toothaches

1t is a suggestion worthy of con.

that there should be an occasional va
Ration from the system adopted for
the naming of our new ships and that
some vessel yet to be built should be
called the kearsarge. There is no
vessel OF our navy which had a grander
history, and though it is to be hoped
that none of our warships in the future
will have to fight as she did. yet the
perpetuation OF the honored name
