Only 40 such Can Mrs. Toy Yee Return
to This Country.
Because the new Chinese treaty
makes no; specific provision for estab-
fishing the status Of a Chinese woman
who may desire to leave this country
with intention to return, says the Phil
adclphln Record, Mrs. Toy Yee, the
wife OF Lee Hoe, q wealthy Race street
merchant, has applied to Collector
Read Tor permission to accompany her
husband to China in tie capacity Eof a
servant.
Some weeks ago Lee Hoe sold out his
business to Lee Chow, and determined
to make visit with his wife to their
OLD home, near Hong Kong. Lee Hoe
has been registered with Internal Rev
enue Collector Doyle, and his 'creden-
tials as a merchant, with some thou
sands of dollars to his credit, were all
right. 1t was the Intention OF Lee Hoe
and bis wife TO remain in China not
longer thansa year, aud when they fled
their applications for, privilege to re-
turn with Collector Read, ana gave him
their photographs, they were surprised
TO find that there was a barrier against
Mrs. Toy Yee. The law was plain
enough SO far as Lee Hoe was con-
cerned, but nothing was said about the
wives of Chinese merchants. The law
did say that the servants of merchants
might enjoy the same rights as their
masters, SO Mrs. Toy Yee bought a new
hat, arranged herself in true American
fashion before q photographers camera,
and soon brought her picture to the
collectors office where II ,ruoS Rla6
with her husbands photograph, and
the whole matter given to the special
treasury agents for Investigations. :
The treasury agents have reported
favorably and Mrs. Toy zee will leave
for Hong Kong via Richfeld, VT, in a
few days. The government takes a
liberal view of the case and looks upon
the husband and wife as one, but the
safeguard of strict compliance with the
law has been adhered to.

Two Deputy Sheriffs Killed.

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Sept 24-Deputy
Sheriffs Harris and Stiff of Arkansas
county were shot and killed near Eng
land, Lonoke county, yesterday while
attempting to arrest an escaped pris-
oner named Lacey, who had made his
escape from Arkansas county jail. He
was located in a deserted house three
and half miles from England and
when called upon to surrender opened
fire. The first shot struck and in.
stantly killed Harris and the second
mortally wounded Stiff. Another re-
port states that the crime was commit
ted by two escaped criminals named
Owens and Nicholas. The murderer
or murderers escaped to the woods:
They are surrounded by posse and
will be lynched if caught alive.

The South's New Cereal.

As Alabama receives generous
share of Old Soils mundane attentions
there is every reason to believe that
another reef can be taken in the old
saw: ''There is nothing new under
the SUM-" Down in the cane-brakeso of
Russell county new cereal has been
discovered. That is, it is presumably
new, although there is no way of prov
ing that it was not scattered in the bull
rushes where Moses was hidden so
many centuries ago. There isnobody
connected with the Agricultural De-
partment in Uncle Sans big official
family who can place this Alabama
grain. 1t has been found on the low
lying banks of streams. Hanging
from the tips of cane are great tassels
of leaves and seeds resembling oats.
The discovery Of the strange vegetable
phenomenon was made in queer
manner. Cattle and horses seemed
to delight in trips to the lowlands,
where they were found feeding on
these tassels. The grain in them re-
sembles oats. and is sweet and starchy.
Thus far no attempts have been made
to convert it into flour or meal for
Cruel, bread or pastry. No one at
tempts to explain the presence OF the
grain. There are some who hint at
matrimonial union in the vegetable
kingdom and believe that cane and
oats have been crossed in the fields
and brakes. but this solution is not
accepted at Government Headquarters.
Prof. + V. Coville, who is in charge
of the national herbarium, thinks that
the chief difficulty in regard to the
new cereal was the unreliability of its
growth. The grain crop is enormous,
but there is no assurance that this
freak of Dame Natures will berepeat-
ed The grains are several times long
er than ordinary oats being about half
an inch in length. The discovery has
created sensation among the planters
who own low-lying lands. They figure
that crops quite as valuable as corn
may be gathered from land that has
been considered useless The future
of the new cereal Will be watched with
interest.

What Free Silver Would Do.

We have long thought that, should
the United States admit silver free to
her mints, that she would play havoc
with the trade of England in several
countries, and it is gratifying to US to
be endorsed-in our opinion by so able
a journal as the London Financial
News. In recent issue that paper
said: There c9n be no doubt about
it that if the United States were to
adopt silver basis tomorrow, British
trade would be ruined before the year
was out. Every American industry
would be protected, not only at home,
but IN every other market Ot
course, the United States would
suffer to a certain extent through hay
ing to pay her obligations abroad IN
gold: bur the loss of exchange under
this head would be a mere drop in the
bucket, compared with the profits to
be reaped from the markets OF South
America and Asia, to say nothing OF
Europe. The marvel is that the
United States has not long ago seized
the opportunity. and but for the belief
that the way of England is necessarily
the way to commercial success and
prosperity. undoubtedly it would have
been done long ago. Now Americans
are awakening to the fact that,, so long
as they narrow their ambition to be-
come a larger England, they cannot
beat us. It has been a piece of luck
for us that it has never before occurred
to the Americans to scoop us out OF
the worlds markets by going on a sill
yer basis, and 1t might serve US right,
if irritated by the contemptuous apathy
OF our Government to the gravity OF
the silver problem the Americana re,
taliate by freezing out gold. It could
easily be done, and we propose to show
by evidence collected from perfectly
unprejudiced sources, that even now
the process has begun. and is proceed
ing at rate that will astonlsh most
people and. probably make this country
regret that it did not, at an earlier
stage, fashion its monetary policy on
principles of friendliness to other ma
lions, Instead of on basis of short
sighted selfshness. Times and Dem

Pitiable Plight of Negroes.

informing the four hundred negroes
quarantined at Eagle Pass, Texas,
that the government has no appropria-

expenses to their home in Alabama.
The negroes some time ago went into
Mexico to form colony, but the
scheme was a failure, and in return
ing here reached Eagle Pass, when
smallpox broke out among them and
they were quarantined. At last ac-
counts there were 175 cases of small
pox among them, and on the advice of
friends they appealed to The govern

when the pressure of selling orders
was lifted the market quickly rallied
about S.points from the lowest, and
for long time about midday January

ton either of strength or of weakness.
In the early afternoon, however, prices
suddenly began to harden. Nobody
seemed able to give an entirely salts.

the buying, out there was wild rush
to buy cotton, and prices for while
seemed to be a matter Of secondary

halts in the rise when reaction seem

soon resumed and was not finally
checked until January had sold at
S.S1. Just 2S points above the lowest OF

scale by a prominent local trader caus-
ed January to recede to S73 in the last
fifteen minutes. The close wassteady,

The Corn Crop.

This is apparently to be the greatest

is now SO far advanced, according to
contemporary. as to reduce the
chances Of disaster 10 a minium. In
1891 we raised the greatest corn crop
ever grown, but we are going to ren-
der it insignificant this year In 1891
corn covered 7G 204, 900 acres and
yielded an average Of twenty-seven
bushels to the acre. This year the corn
fields amount to S2304, 600 acres, or
5000, 600 more than ia 1891, and all
reports indicate a larger yield per acre
than in that year But at the same
average yield the crop will amount TO

is worth about fifty ceLts bushel. not

saluting an embassadress.
What further was said belongs not
to this story, for there are some things
that sound we'll when time and circum-
stance may be fully considered, but
which seem to be quite silly when put
in cold words in black and white. Suf-
fee it TO say that the question OF what
the people would say come up, and
these two brave young people conclud-
ed that they had not quite the courage
to make open announcement Of the
treaty of everlasting peace which had
been duly ratified and sealed after the
manner known to lovers since the
world began, and they then planned
and conspired to escape to Ohio and
at the town of Aberdeen, known
and famed as the ''Gretna Green CT
Ohio, be married unknown to friends
and relatives, who, after it was too late
might discuss the question of what they
would do about 1t.

about like unto one possessed of the
spirit of unrest. And finally the night
fell.

cast a dense gloom over the whole
face of the earth, and the young man
reioiced and told himsei; that Fate
had favored him in all things. Sad

and hardly had he got there when a
