! Sound LIVER Makes a Well Ma
s.nss nf Taste In 1nseuts.

The entomologists have detected and
duly noted a singular development OF
the sense of taste in insects Of the but.
terf1y family. The larvaa of butterflies
and moths all eat foods which are not
adapted to the wants and tastes Of the
perfect insect, and which, in some in
stances, is positively obnoxious to the
fully developed creature Take, for an
instance, the horrid "hog nosed cater
pillar" which lives on the leaves of
the prickly ash and also makes life bur-
densome to the orange grower. Its par.
ents are Mr.. and Mrs Papilio Ores.
phontes of the order Lepidoptera, fam
lily Papilionide, and are the largest and
most beautiful butterflies found in the
latitude of Missouri. The full grown
insect of this species Till not touch the
leaves of either of the trees mentioned
above, but on them it depo>its eggs, and
when these hatch the substance of the
leaves furnish the proper food for the
larvae. Are we to infer from this Curl
Gus habit that the female butterfly Of
this species remembers her early exist
ence, and from that argues that priokly
ash and orange leaves are the proper
food for her young, or are we TO say
chat instinct" guides her to proper
selection of food for her progeny? Is it

FLAW IN DuRRANT"s STORY.
Evidence to BE Brought Forward
AEufnSf he, prfs

Evidence to BE Brought FOryvnrd
Against the Prisoner.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 1.-THE
prosecution in the Durrant case have
found another flaw in the story told by the
young medical student on the day of the
Blanche Lamont murder. When Durrant
was suddenly confronted in the church
by George King, the orsanist, he explained
his condition of utter physical and nervous
collapse by the statement that he had
been overcome by gas while engaged in re-
pairing electric wires in the attic. Dur
rant asked King to get him a tonic The
prosecution will contend that if Durrant
had been asphyxiated, his knowledge of
medicine would have taught him that
fresh air instead of nerve tonic was what
he reeded.
Durrant's class mates at Cooper Medical
College will be placed on the stand to show
that the prisoner. as Well all of the
students, had been taught that the only
remedy for partial asphyxiation is oxygen
Durrant would soon have graduated from
the college, and the prosecution will con-
tend that he was too well informed to have
ordered a nerve tonic. which nauseated
him when he drank it, If he had really
been suffering from the effects of gas.
the prosecution also showed that Dur
rants hat and coat were not in the library
when King entered the church, but were
there when he returned from the drug
store. The inference will be drawn that
Durrant wanted to get King out of the
church, not to bring him relief with a drug
but to give himself time to recover from
his CONSERVATION and opportunity to carry
his coat and hat from the rear of the
church to the library, where it had been
his habit to place them while working in
the church.

Archbishop Satolli said today that he had

Nicaragua has been selected the admin

Since his return to Washington, Arch

Said to BE Suspension From Rank and
Duty for Year.
Secretary Herbert had a consultation
with the judge advocate general and Lieut..
Draper, judge advocate of the court, today
in regard to the case of Capt. Sumner, re-
Gently tried by court-marttal at New York
for the Improper daaIfnGsffs the Columbia
at Southampton. At the Conclusion of the
conference it was announced that The ac-
tion of the Navy Department on this case
would not be made public before tomorrow.
There is an impression that the court found
the officer guilty of some Of the charges
and sentenced him to be suspended from
rank and duty for period OF one year on
reduced pay. and also that the findings and
sentence of the court have been approved
by Secretary Herbert.
Capt Sumner was arraigned on three
charges, and pleaded not guilty to each
The first charge is culpable ineffioiency in
the performance of duty. This is based
upon a specification in which it is alleged
that Capt. Sumner permitted the Columbia
to be put into the dock at Southampton on
July without first examining the dock
The second charge is suffering a vessel of
the United States navy to be hazarded in
articles of the regulation of the navy,
based upon an allegation that Capt. SUM
ner allowed the vessel to remain in the
deck without floating her after he dscov-
cred that she was being injured. The third
charge is neglect Of duty, in that Capt.
Sumner paid the bill for docking without
protesting because OF the damage

Difference Between the Naval Ord

There Is a prospect of a clash between
the ordnan ce and construction and repair
bureaus of the Navy Department over the

tor Hi4nborn. that the armor for vessels
to he hereafter constructed be included in
the contract for the building of the ves-

recommendation has been referred by the
Secretary to the ordnance bureau. In the
absence of Commodore Sampson, chief of
that bureau, no official views are given out,
hut sufficient is known of the attitude of
this branch of the department to warrant
the prediction that the proposition will be
strongly anita agoniZed. 1t is claimed by
the friends of the ordnance bureau that
for the government to contract for work
which it can do itself is to take the risk
of increasing the cost of construction, aud
at the same time of securing poorer work
manshiD. Secretary Herbert has not yet
indicated what his decision will be in the
matter. The ordnance officials are very
confident there will be change, while
the opinion seems to prevail in the ccn-
struction Office that the Secretary is in
clined to receive Commodore Hichborn's
recomner dation with favor.

Termination of Tariff War That

Termination of II Tariff War That
Has Lasted Four Years.
The State Department has been placed in
possession of the particulars of the under
standing recently arrived at between
France and Switzerland through report
made by Consul Germain of Zurich. This
is in the shape of a modus vivendi rather
than a treaty, and it marks the termina-
ton of tariff war between the two coun-
tries, which has been in progress for the
past four years. France appears to have
made a quite general reduction on articles
imported to that country from Switzerland,
while Switzerland agreed to withdraw its
special tariff against France, made con-
cessions on special imports from the
French district of GeX, and also agreed to
changes in the control of the forests sit
uated on the Franco-Swiss frontier. retain
ing it's general tariff without alteration.
The agreement has been ratified by both
the Fl ench senate and the French chamber
but has not been acted upon by the Swiss
federal assembly.

A CONTRACTOR HELD UP
The District Commissioners Write Sharp
Letter to the Garbage Man.
Mr.. WarneId is Told to Call on
ing Complaining Householders.

For some time past there has been a
great falling off in the number of COM
plants from citizens on account of bad
garbage service, and the authorities were
congratulating themselves that the i'm
position Of fines had solved the question
of good service, and the contractor was
really giving the city a good service.
Fines to, the amount of $500 per month
seemed conducive to that result. But the
authorities erred. The contractor with
great forethought and cunning worthy of
a better cause, had not been idle. Such
large fines were troublesome, and not at
all profitable. So he set to work to re-
duce them. and. according to the health
officer, certain employees were sent about
notifying householders, especially those
who had complained Of poor service in the
past, not to notify the health office in the
future when the collectors failed to call
for the garbage, but to. notify the con-
tractor by telephone or letter and he
would see that the matter was Immediate
ly attended to, and would not occur again.
This was recently brought to the atten-
tion of the health officer, and he investi-
gated it. and d~diseovered that the state
ments were well founded. He was little
vexed about It, and forthwith conferred
with the Commissioners. The result OF
that conference was letter, which was
sent to Contractor Warfield today, and
which read as follows:
1.-The attention of this department has
been called to the fact that some one in
your employ doubtless the inspection
service) has presumed to notify house
holders who have had ocassion to enter
complaint about neglect to collect garbage
as required by the terms of your contract
that should they fail to receive satisfact-
ory garbage service in future to so notify
the contractor direct by telephone or other
wise. instead of entering complaint, as
heretofore, with the health officer / have
to direct that you instruct your inspectors
to desist from giving householders such
misleading advice. The garbage regula-
tions promulgated by this department and
distributed throughout the District re-
quest householders to report promptly to
this office any failure the part of the
garbage contractor to render proper serv-
ice. At the date of issuance of said regu-
lations it was regarded as highly import
ant that such a course be pursued, and the
necessity for its continuance is quite as
essential now as then. Should it become
otherwise, which is by no means likely to
occur, the public will receive due notice
thereof from an officiai source, Instead of
through the agency of your employees

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

No Special Change Today - Pleased
With the Syndicatc's Action.
There is no special change in the financial
situation today. The action Of the bond
syndicate in depositing s3,0000O0 yesterday
to recruit the gold balance is highly graft
flying tc treasury officials, from Secretary
Carlisle down. 1t is generally accepted as
a clear indication of the purpose of the
syndicate to use their best endeavors to
keep the reserve up to the 500 O,OOOOO0
mark, at least until the 1st of October,
when their contract expires. 1t is not like
ly that they will make any further deposits
after that date, and there is feeling OF
hope that the gold balance will then be
able to maintain itself through legitimate
trade without outside assistance. The
treasury gold reserve is now stated at
$99, 100000

LORD DUNRAvEN's STATEMENT.

Withdrew Because of the Interfer-
ence of Excursion Boats.
NEW YORK, September 12.-The Valky-
rle has returned to Bay Ridge. Arthur
Glennie, Lord Dunraven's representative,
ana authorized by Lord Dunraven to
speak, stated that the reason for not rae
ing was interferences from excursion
steamers. He sent letter to the Ameri-
cas- cup committee yesterday, as already
detailed by the Associated Press to be
opened after the consideration of the pro-
test, saying that If he could be assured OF
a clear course he would sail. otherwise,
net
He merely crossed the line to make a
race.
Continuing, Commodore Glennle said: Il
cannot tell You whether the cup conmit-
tee did or did not receive Lord Dunraven's
letter. But, the substance of it was that
he would not sail unless he was guaran
teed a course free from interference, which
he thinks he has not had thus far. Had
We been assured that the course would
have been kept clear fer even five min
utes before the starting time. We would
have sailed. We went down to the line
and acted honorably. We went across so
as to make 1t a race and then as you know,
we returned. 1t was essary for us to
cross the line in order to make it a race.
His lordship, at the time of challenging.
as you must know, gave the committee to
understand that he preferred a course off
Marblehead to one off Sandy Hook, for
several reasons. But, this suggestion was
Tot adopted.
When Lord Dunraven was asked this
morning if there was not fair chance he
answered yes but in reply, he asked what
it would be at the finish?'
III regard to Lord Dunravens future
movements, Commodore Glennie said he
knew absolutely nothing.

The insurance department OF the state
auditors Office al Pierre gives out the
following figures IN regard to the earn
ings Of fire insurance companies and
other statements of interest in insurance
matters for the past year. The total re-
ceipts of all fire insurance companies do
ing business IN the state were S3S3,392,
and losses were paid to the amount Of

penses Of doing insurance business in
this state, including agents commissions
is placed at 30 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts and amounts to Sll5,O16.JO, or a
total expense and loss of 1916, 1860.
This leaves the companies a net profit
of g., 2S5.4 40 above loss and expenses Of

NEW York, July 20.-The races
which will be sailed off the lightships.
it is agreed, will be the first real trial
between the successful defender of the
Americas cup in the 1898 race, the
Vigilant, and the new sloop, Defender,
which is looked on at present as being,
in all probability, the yacht which will
uphold Americas yachting honors in
the races with Valkyrie III next fall.
The so called races so far, between the
Colonia and Vigilant, with the latest
Herreshoff creation, have been in no.
wise true tests.
Were in Bad Form.
The Colonia is in far from racing
form. her hull being very foul, while
the Vigilant in the single run of last
Sunday for a few moments was in an
equally bad condition. The race, there
fore, will be the first opportunity as
yet presented for getting a line on the
real merits of the new boat. The two
races t. be sailed are to be held under
the auspices of the New York Yacht
club, and are to be owe the cours out
side of Sandy Hook. A cup valued at
$500 is offered for the winner, with a
500 cup for the second boat, if four or
more shall start.
The races will begin at IL q. m. and
the start will be made off Sandy Hook
or Scotland Light, as may be signalled.
The new boat Defender, without a
doubt, is the most costly racing craft
evar constructed.
