MYSTERY OF A SMOKING TREE.

What Seems to BE a Phenomenon EX-
cites Southeast Washington.
A strange phenomenon has within the past
week made its appearance in Southeast
Washington, and has caused much excite
ment, not to say alarm, among the residents
of the immediate locality where it is seen.
From Il large Alaskan maple tree which
stands in front of the store OF Mr.. Jos. S
Martin, No. 524 Seventh street southeast
every evening during the past week ha,
been seen arising, among the top branches,
what appears to be q column of smoke.
This phenomenon was first not iced a
week ago last Wednesday evening, by Mr..
Stivers, who lives on the opposite side OF
the street. 1t took but q few moments
for q crowd to gather, and every man in
it knew, or thought he knew, Just what it
was.
The most skeptical believed the tree
to be on fire, internally, and with ears
against the trunk of the tree imagined
they plainly heard the roaring of the flames
inside. Others, among them Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin, are of the opinion that 1T is caused
by the proximity of a great number of
telegraph wires.
Mr. Stivers, who first noticed the sup
posed smoke, and has watched it closely
since, is of the opinion that it is nothing
more than a great mass of gnats. This
assumption is based on the fact that it
makes its appearance at the same time,
about O'Clock, every evening, and soon
disappears. Mr.. Louis sousa, who has
| made an investigation with field glass
| is of the same opinion as Mr. Stivers.
In order that there may be no doubt as to
what it is and what is the cause of it, Mr..
| Martin has reported the matter to the De-
| partment of Agriculture and ADMINISTRATION
| will probably be made at anearly day.

SEED DIVISION ABOLISHED
Secretary Morton Issues the Order
Disseminating 1t by October l.
Hereafter Congress men Must Buy
Garden and Farm Truck For
Their Constituents.

Secretary Morton's antagonism to the
existence of the seed divisino OF the Agri-
cultural Department reached its logical
conclusion yesterday in an order abolish
ing the division, 10 take effect October 1,
by which date W. E. Pagan, chief of the
division, is directed TO have its work wound
up.
IN a letter to the chief, announcing his
purpose, Secretary Morton instructs Mr..
Pagan that his executive report for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1895, must
state in detail the work of the division,
giving the number OF packages Of seed sent
out, by whom sent, and where, and the ag-
gregate weight of all seed transmitted gra-
tuitouSly through the United Stat IS mail
The Secretary further directed him 10
include in the report excerpts from the
newspapers of the country, giving their
opinion of the uselessness and extrava-
gance Of the gratuitous, promiscuous dis
tribution of seeds through members of
Congress by the Department of AgricuI-
ture.'' The letter was accompanied by a
documentary history of the movement in
stituted for the abOlishing of the division
'As result OF all these things" says the
Secretary in conclusion, there will be
10 seeds purchased for gratuitouS, pro.
miscous distribution during the fiscal year
S96, hy the UHited States Department OF
Agriculture In view OF the above you will
observe the necessity of your being con
timued in office, together with the forte
Immediately under you, will not exist after
October l, 1895, by which date it is de-
manded that all business ofthe Seed Division
shall have been thoroughly finished up and
reported upon"
The aboiishing OF the seed division will
throw out of employment ten people, be
sides the chief, at present, and VIII result
in depriving uliy $50 more Of occupation
during the busy seasou-tie winter months
when it is customary to send out the bull
OF the seeds.
The chief has a salary of 81 600 year
There are two clerks at 81 200 and eight
at $40. The extra force employed in tht
winter season is paid at the rate OF 81 .5C
| per day.
It is probable that Mr. Pagan will bt

| division takes effect.
