WASHINGTON.

Secretary Morton and Statistcian Rob
ertson have not yet had an opportunity
to consider the recommendation made by
the various representatives of the COM
mcrcial organizations which recently pre-
scented plans looking to more accurate
crop reports by the Department of Agri-
culture. While the suggestions of the
commercial men may be taken into con
sideration, and some of them adopted, the
department has already considered plans
for improving the service and has found
that the trouble lies in the fact that there
is not sufficient money to carry out any
method of reform that would greatly
improve the service. Statistician Rob
ertsOn says that it would not be best to
abolish the State agents while there are
still but Il limited number of reporters in
each county. He thinks it we'll to in
crease the number of reporters, but this is
something that the department had under
consideration.
Secretary Gresham has laid down some
doctrine touching the rights of merchant
steamers in foreign ports TO afford asy-
lum TO refugees that may be of great i'm
pOrtance To commanders of vessels. This
was called out by Il letter addressed To
the State Department in December, 1894.
by G. l.. Huntington, president of the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship Company, asking for
an exact definition of the powers of cap
tains of merchant steamers in this re-
spcct. The Secretary responded that the
so-called doctrine of right of asylum hav-
ing no application to merchant vessels in
port, it follows that n shipmaster can
found no exercise of discretion on the
charact of Offense charged against the
refugee. While no general rule can be
laid down as a comprehensive principle,
Il merchant vessel in a foreign port is
within the local jurisdiction of the country
with respect to offenses or offenders
against the laws thereof and an orderly
demand for the surrender of a person ac
cused of crime by due process of law,
with exhibition of warrant of arrest
in the hands of the regularly accredited
officer of the law, may not be disregarded
or resisted by the master of the ship Ar
bitrary attempts to capture Il passenger
by force may call for disavowal when
the resort to violence endangers the lives
of the innocent and the property of

Chattanooga, Tenn. tailor's apprentice,
from horrible death by means of an infer
nal machine which was sent TO him
through the mail in small box marked
'DOminOes." Embedded in two ounces
of the loose explosive was Il dynamite
cartridge provided with a match head,
fuse and cap. A wooden block turning
on n pivot lay behind the cap and back
of the block an improvised steel trigger
was strung forward and held by common
pins stuck through 4 bit of wood This
was connected with the sliding lid of the
box by a thread so delicate that the slight
est jar would set off the explosive Seven
common rubber bands drawn taut held
the trigger with the tension of q hair
spring. The string worked out of its
poor fastenings while the boy was un-
wrapping the package, thus averting the
tragedy. An electric railway conductor
had threatened the boys life, 1t is al

on the part of the conductor.
Dwight Moody, the evangelist, was

pray fcrvently that the foodgates might
be opened. This was at 3 p. M. At night.
while the tabernacle was crowded by TO-
600 people from Fort Worth and sur
rounding cities, Mr.. Moody announced
that word had come from several points
that rain had fallen. A few minutes
later the storm burst on Fort Worth and
torrents of rain fell. Then Mr.. Moody
gave thanks to God and called upon the
congregation 10 join in singing Corona
ton" The song had surged forth from
ten thousand voices when cracking
noise was heard and then the roof sank,
the rafters gave way, and the heavy tim
bers and boards covered with tar and
gravel came down on n portion of the
congregation. Several were fatally hurt,
and forty were less seriously injured.

Deficit of $1,000 900.

The decision of the Supreme Court in
the income tax case neceSsitates n recast-
ing of the estimates of the Government
for the fiscal year ending June 30, and
from the best data obtainable it is be-
lieved that the deficit for the year will
amount To S40.000,000. The amount of
the deficit To date is S47.251. 241. with in
dications of further increase before the
close of the present month, bat the in
come tax receipts, it is expected, will ma
terially cut down this amount during the
remaining ten weeks of the fiscal year.
Receipts from customs and from internal
revenue sources continue TO increase. but
not at the pace expected. and with fully
one-half of the anticipated receipts from
the income tax cut off it is doubtful if the
close of the year shows Il deficit of less
than S40,000,000.

SUPPLY OF FOOD FISH
NATIONAL COMMISSION is EN-
LARGlNG ITS WORK.
Millions of Eggs and Small Fry Are
Being PropaGated for Distribution
All Over the COuntry-Cuban Rebels
Fish for the Lakes.

The Fish Commission expects this year
to almost double the work of last year.
In 1891 about four hundred million hsh
were distributed. This year the division
of fish culture hopes TO exceed that Inquire
by at least two hundred million and prob
ably three hundred million. The work
of the spring distribution is now at ITS
height. From the Ohio and Michigan
stations the commission has already taken
about one hundred and twenty million
whitefish and about eight million or ten
million lake trout will be taken In the
next ten days In the neighbOrhood OF
four hundred thousand brook trout will be
taken from the Colorado station. These
fish will be planted in the great lakes and
the surrounding inland lakes. The Put-
Inlay station has just reported the col
lection of some two hundred million PIKE
and perch eggs from Lake Erie. These
will be distributed in the lakes and also
i'm the public waters of Kentucky, Ten
nessee. Ohio, Illinois and Iowa. The
work of distribution will be begun at Du-
luth in ten days. A month ago the marine
work of the Government was completed.
The total output of cod for distribution
along the Maine coast was iO,OOO.OOO.
The lobster and flatfish work is also i'll
preparation in the East. Last year the
commission handled SO.0OO,OOO Holsters.
This year it is believed the number will
be almost doubled. Shad is now one of
the most important food fish and the num-
Der distributed will be increased from
5O,OOO,OOO last year TO 1OO,OoO,oOO this
season

Debs Nav Go Free.

A report from Washington is to the
effect that the Supreme Court will III It's
decision of the Debs contempt case re-
verse the decision of the lower court made
by Judge Woods, and grant the writ OF
habeas corpus asked for Debs and his as
sociates, relieving them of Imprisonment
for contempt in disobeying the orders of
the court. 1t is understood that the
court stands either six to two or five to
three in favor of Debs. 1t was the strong
est argument used by the attorneys for
Debs that Il man cannot be punished
twice for the same offensc and not with
out trial by jury. In this instance Debs
and his associates were enjoined by the
court from interference with the mails,
and on complaint that they had failed to
obey this injunction they We're not only
arrested and indicted under the statutes
but hauled into court for contempt and
sentenced to Imprisonment on that
ground. Judge Lyman Trumbull and
Clarence s. barrow, their attorneys, ar
gued that this was sort of double bar

tlicted but before he was tried. Senator

should a negative attitude toward
the current religious teachings be a
hindrance.
Those who aspire to become good
men should be welcomed TO the new
fellowship, no matter what their
opinions might be on questions of
theology or philosophy. Prof. Adler
stated at that time. All that was
expected was a sincere interest in
the moral improvement of the indi-
vidual and of society, and willing
ness to waive points of difference
and to come into fundamental agree
ment with others animated BY the
same desire.
These views had been known by
number of Prof Adlers friends for
some years prior to the organization
Of the society. Prof. Adler was at
that time professor of Oriental lit
erature at the Cornell university,
and when a number of friends Of the
cause of ethical culture were pre-
pared to form a society he resigned
from the faculty of the university
and entered the field in which he had
long been DESTROYS to labor 1t was
n labor of love for him from the be-
ginning and still is such.
At first the new society was the
target for much hostile criticism and
even bitter persecution. Like all
new movements it required time to
be correctly appreciated, and ia the
beginning it was misinterpreted
The fact that the Ethical society
did not affirm any religious belief was
regarded as positive proof that it's
members and its leaders were at heart
hostile to religion. But this was
mistake, and as time went on it was
perceived to be such. The prejudice
which the society at first excited has
abated from year to year.
Some of those who were its most
pronounced antagonists have become
its well wishers aud supporters. The
change of attitude against the So
ciety is shown by the fact that the
Legislature of the State of New York
has conferred upon Prof. Adler legal
authority TO perform the marriage
ceremony.
