MiscelInneous Notes.

A swine breeder says that he has
found clover for young growing hogs
worth as much as corn, acre for acre,
and that a good acre of clover will
make 600 pounds of pork.
The stalk and blade of the corn plant
are at the highest point of nutrition
just as the ears begin to glaze and
harden. This is the time to cut it for
shredding into hay.
Monsieur A. Petit, French chemist.
has recently discovered that fruit may
be preserved for months, beyond the
usual time for its decay by subjectng

January.

A KoscouskO county farmer who
gathered LOGO bushels Of wheat from
forty-fOur acres, making an average
of over twenty-four bushels per acre,
says he can raise wheat at Is IL cents
per bushel. Twentyfour bushels at
that cost would be S3.72. That Is a
very small sum to expend upon an
acre. The cost of breaking and seed
ing and harvesting must come within

cents at least; and he allows nothing
whatever for rent of land. which ought
not to be less than S1.5O. Shall we

EUROPEAN POWERS INTERFERE
Tardy Action Regarding the Armenian
Outrages-The Turks express
Anxiety"

Constantinople, Oct. lon Saturday
Sir Phillip Currie, the British ambassa-
dor, had an interview with Kiamel
Pasha, the grand vizier, in which he
made strong representation and for
chilly urged upon him to cease making
arrests of Armenians. Kiamel Pasha,
in reply, expressed his anxiety to i'm
prove the situation. 1t is expected that
he will advise the Sultan to grant am
nesty to all Armenians who have been
since Monday.
The ambassadors of the powers held
Il conference to-day and drew up col
lective note which will be presented to
the porte tomorrow. Afterwards they
went to the porte personally and made
verbal representations on the subject
Of Armenia. The foreign men-of-war,
which are acting as guard ships, have
been ordered to moor in the harbor for
the winter, in order to protect foreign
crs in case of need.
Sir Philip Currie has asked leave of
the government to visit the Armenians
now in prison in order to draw up a
report. Up to Friday eighty bodies
had been registered as victims of the
disorder, all of whom had been terribly
wounded. Some of them contained
over twenty gashes. besides bullet
wounds, and others had been battered
with bludgeons so as to be unrecogniZa-
BILE.
All accounts concur that the number
Of victims thrown into the sea was on
ly three. The gendarmes killed few

INDIAN AVENGERS.
sANNocks KILL THREE MEN.
Captain Smith and Two Other ProsPectors
scalped In Jackson's Hole--Troops Have
Gone After tho Indians.

Denver, Oct. IA special received by
the Republican last night from Pocotel-
10, Idaho, was as follows:
A courier and scout for the United
States troops named J. W. Wilson
reached Idaho Falls, about ninety miles
north Of this place, last evening, bring
ing news of the killing of Captain
Smith and two comrades by Indians in
the lower part of Jackson's Hole on
Thursday morning.
The Indians had sworn vengeance
against Smith, as it is he. they be-
1ieved, who killed one of their tribe and
was the cause indirectly of the death
of pappoose last July. Smith was
wounded himself in this fight, but re-
covered.
Wilson states that Captain Smith and
his two companions were prospecting on
the south fork of the Snake river, at the
south end Of Jackson's Hole and were
ambushed, and he and his two compan-
ions We're shot dead and their bodies
left on the river bar.
Wilson and Constable Manning were
scouting In this locality at the time, and
both saw the dead bodies of the mur-
dered men. Wilson rode at once to
Captain Collis' command, at Swan val
ley, and reported the facts, leaving
Manning at Camp Granite to return to
Jackson's Hole with the troops, who left
Immediately for the scene of the kill
ing. Wilson then rode to Idaho Falls
with dispatches.
b. Adams, rancher, living three
miles from the scene of the killing, and
now visiting at Idaho Falls, put Wilson
through searching examination last
night in regard to the killing Of Smith
and his companions, and says there can
be no doubt whatever as to the relia-
bility of Wilson's statement. He says
further, that the killing of Smith was no
surprise to him. as the Indians openly
avowed they would have his scalp. He
believes, however, that this will viz
tually settle the difficulty SO far as the
Indians are concerned, they having
avenged the death of their braves and
will now return to the reservation.
Wilson says there are about sixty In
dians in Jackson's Hole. and they are
Bannocks from the Fort Hall reserva-
ton.
Captain Coils, with his command,
who started for the Hole. will drive out
all Indians found there, but 1t is almost
certain that none will be encountered,
as they will anticipate the arrival of
troops and head by a circuitous route
for the reservation.

AN IRISH APPEAL FOR FUNDS.
National Alliance Wants Sinews for the
War With England.

3NAtiOnhI kAIIhuce "AHtB SlHoWB IOT the
War With England.
New York, Oct 1.-THE national Off
GERS and executive committee Of the
lowing appeal:
To all friends of Irish Independence:
The convention which recently organ
ized at Chicago the Irish National Alli-
ance has placed its guidance and gov
ernment in the hands Of the under
signed for the ensuing two years. The
purpose of the alliance has already
been proclaimed-to obtain the COM
plete independence of Ireland from
England by any means consistent with
the laws of nations. Organizations,
like governments, have to depend on
their revenue for the successful ac-
complishment of their duties. "The
sinews of war" are absolutely neces-
sary both for organization and propa-
CATION.
England, the arch-enemy of Ireland
has at her disposal immense resources
the accumulations of centuries of con-
quest and piracy. She has it in her
power to control or mould public opin-
ion in her own interests. Even in free
America she possesses this power to an
astounding extent. Her side of the
Irish question has filled the American
mind for n quarter of century, ever
since Ireland's friends at home and
abroad committed the costly fault Of
trusting to parliamentary agitation to
achieve the liberty of their mother
land.
Now, however, totally different pol
icy has been inaugurated. The abso-
lutte claim of Ireland to a distinct ma
tional life has been placed forcibly be-
fore the world by the unanimous vote
Of the recent Irish national congress
held in Chicago. Provincialism has
been cast aside and the national de-
mand of Ireland, which slumbered but
did not die, is again in the ascendant.
We are determined that it shall SO re-
main and that no effort of ours, no sac
or unperformed until victory crowns
our sacred cause.
We appeal therefore to all friends of
the independence of Ireland to aid us
in this good work by placing at our dis
posal the means required for its accom-
plishment. You are asked to subscribe
in accordance with your means, and to
forward your subscriptions as soon as
possible to the Irish National Alliance,

Fort Smith, Ark. Oct. THE north
bound Frisco passenger train was rob
bed at CASTOR, Indian Territory, fifty
miles south Of here, last night. Six
men did the work. They cut the ex-
press car loose from the train and ran ii
up the track. They failed to open the
through safe and only got eighty-five
cents from the local safe. The passen-
gers were not molested. The train was
permitted to pull out after the bandits
failed to open the big safe. 1t is thought
to have been the work of the Christian

This does not include uncut diamonds,

and $3.50, 267 worth In 1894. During the
last TWENTY-FIVE years we have imported

1880 we imported only S129, 900 worth OF
uncut diamonds, and in 1889 only $3.50
600 worth. The large increase OF late has
been due to the fact that a number of Aineri
can jewellers have opened diamond cutting
establishments. There are now fifteen es-
Establishments in the United States which
employ from one to twenty men.
There are 4,c90 manufacturers IN Eng
land and about 200 in the United States,

90, 900 people are employed in the diamond
mines throughout the world. We read that
in past centuries 10000 people were
working in some single Indian mines at one
time, and perhaps that statement is not ex-
aggerated, since by the aid of modern ma
chinery one miner can now accomplish as
