THE BLOCKADE BROKEN.
Nantucket Once More Has Steamer Connec
ton With the Outside World.

Nantucket, Mass, Feb. 1.-THE block
ade is broken. The Island Home lays at
her dock and all Nantucket is once more
enjoying the luxuries of juicy becfsteaks
and Numbered linen. Word was cabled,
last night, that, the weather permitting,
the boat would start for here at O'Clock.
A spring morning dawned, today, and no
one was surprised when, at s O'Clock,
Billy Clark, the famous town crier,
heralded the approach of the steamer.
The people of the town Immediately
crowded every point of vantage. Num-
bers of more adventurous young men
walked out on the ice below the jetty to
greet the gallant old boat as she broke
through mile or more of ice four feet
thick that lay between her and the open
water of the inner harbor.
At noon, just as the church services
were over, channel had been made. AS
the familiar whistle of the Island Home
was heard around Brant Point flags We're
run up ON the wharf building and the
crowd rushed to the dock to greet the be-
lated passengers. Should the weather
conditions continue favorable the steamer
will take away passengers and mail, to
morrow.

Says Nothing Has Ever Been Found Against
His Administration.

Paris, Feb IA United Press cor
respondent called upon exMayor Gilroy
of New York here, today, to get his state
rient as to the report that an indictment
had been found against him by the New
York grand jury.

of the newspapers, which gave publicity
to an absurd and incomprehensible rumor,
concerning his administration of the
department of public works"
The only investigation during his COM
missionership, be said, was conducted by
the Fassett commission in 1890 With ! /
men working six weeks, the committee
was unable to reveal anything, except
what was favorable to his administration
Mr. Gilroy will start for Italy, tomorrow
evening. unless developments in New
York should change his plans.

THE FLYNT. EDDY COMPANY.
Two Large and WelI-Known New York Firms
Consolidate Their Business.

New York, Feb. 17.-Flint & Co, and
Coombs, Crosby g. Eddy have consolidated
their business under the new style of
1.-the Flint, Eddy Company, with a CAPT
tai of 50, 500, 900. They have done a large
business for many years, with Latin
American countries and British colonies.
They export provisions, dry goods, ma
chinery, railway material, lumber, petrol
cum, hardware and American manufac-
tured goods.
Owing to the curtailment of the demand
in the United States, the American manu-
facturers are now seeking foreign outlets,
and this consolidation is designed to meet
the rapidly increasing extra trade.
Flint & Co. have in addition to their
position as merchants, always held an
important place as shipbuilders and
owners, controlling one-fifth of the deep
sea sailing ships under the American flag.

Chicago, Feb IA special from
Duluth says; W. W. Lowd, train dis
patchcr of the Northern Pacific Railway,
yesterday, gave a successful exhibition of
his invention of transmitting pictures by

One of the pictures sent over the wire
was that of a boy, and the reproduction
was exact. Later developments showed
that the faintest details can be transmit

a person, a smile or scowl. A cut was
sent over the wire showing the collision

IRRIGATION.

The Topeka Press says, a docu-
ment that will be of special interest
to the people Of Kansas at this time
is the report on agriculture by irriga'
ton in the western part Of the Uuited
States at the time OF the taking OF
the eleventh census, just being sent
out from the census bureau. This re-
port shows the relative Importance Of
irrigation under the general heads Of
the arid region, where irrigation is
essential, and the sub-humid region,
where the rainfall in some seasons
tempts the agriculturist to depend
upon supply that fails to develop
his crops in their seasons.
In the first or arid regions, are en-
braced part or the whole of certain
states and territories, viz: Arizona
California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming,
In the sub-humid region are en-.
braced parts Of the states of North
Dakota, South Dakoto, Nebraska,
Kansas and Texas.
Condensed tables present the mum
Der of persons who irrigate their
farms, aggregating 1854; the acres
irrigated, aggregatlng 3,564,416; the
average size Of irrigated farms for
the regions treated, 68 acres; the av-
erage value of products per acre for
ARID region, $14 so, first distributed
by states and territories for the arid
region and next for the sub-humid
region, In the latter list Kansas
stands next to the head in number Of
irrigators in 1889, $40; Texas alone
leading her with 613, while Kansas in
the area irrigated in 1889 leads all
the states in the sub humid region
with 20,818 acres, Texas coming sec
ond with 1924 acres. The average
size Of irrigated farms in Kansas il
40 acres. The total number Of arle
sian wells in Kansas in June 1890
was SO, the percentage used in irriga
ton being Al 81; the number Of acref
irrigated per well, ID II. and the TO-
tai acres irrigated by wells 320 Five
