WORST NOT KNOWN.
Two Hundred Killed and Injured in the
Mexican Wreck.

CRY OF MEXICO, March 4.-One of
the most frightful accidents in the his
tory of Mexican railroads resulting in
the killing of 104 persons and the serl-
Gus, if not fatal injuries of nearly 100
other, occurred on the Inter Oceanic
railroad at point about twenty-five
miles from this city.
A few days ago great many people
left the capital and the towns in the vi
cinity to go on pilgrimage to the Cath
Ole shrine at Sacre Monte. Yesterday
a long train, on board of which were
l 200 passengers, was returning from
the place OF the pilgrimage. 1t went
we'll until a point on the line about
midway between Timantia and Tenango
was reached. On this part OF the road
there is steep incline, the line at one
place having sharp curve, where 1T
runs close to the edge OF high precl-
pice. This is one of the most dangerous
places on the road and was rendered
more so by the fact that the track was
not in the best condition. AS the train
started down the incline many OF the
passengers were laughing and joking,
while others were looking out OF the
windows at the rapidly passing scenery.
Soon the speed OF the train began to in
crease, and it was soon running at a
frightful rate. The passengers ceased
their joking and looked at each other
with strange fear depicted in their
faces. Steadily the momentum of the
train, which was now swaying and
bounding iearfully, increased, and soon
the dangerous high curve was struck.
AS the pilot wheels of the engine took
the curve, the locomotive swayed out
ward and then back. AS the drivers
went on the curve the engine again
swayed heavily, and then either jumped
the track or turned rail. 1t dashed
across the scantY space between the
rails and the edge of the chasm and
then plunged downward. One after an
other three coaches filled with passen-
gers dashed after it and piled up in a
mass of wreckage at the foot of the prec-
ipice. The next two coaches also jump
ed the track, but most fortunately, did
not go over the edge of the precipice. AS
the fifth coach left the track it twisted
and broke the coupling connecting with
the coaches behind. These coaches
kept the rails and safely passed around
the curve. After running a considerable
distance they were stopped by the hand
brakes

BATTLESHlP OREGON.
Suggestions for Grand Naval Display

Suggestions Tor u Grand Naval Display
at san Francisco.
SAN Francisco, March 4.-Now that
the Olympia has secured her quota OF
men the battle-ship Oregon is receiving
her fair share OF attention. The work
men of the Union iron works are putting
the finishing touches on her, and she is
nearly ready to be turned over to the
government. One of the afternoon pa
pers here says:
"She being the first vessel of her line
ever constructed on the Pacific Coast,
naval officers are particularly anxious to
make the transfer of the vessel an oc-
casion for naval demonstration in the
bay OF San Francisco. There are enough
ships at Mare Island to make up quite a
squadron. The two revenue cutters,
Corwin and Rush, could be pressed into
service, besides the coast survey boats
now in Oakland creek and those not on
duty. The secretary OF the navy could
be persuaded to give orders to have the
ships placed under the orders of an act
ing admiral. The coast defense vessel
Monterey could act as flagship. The
morning of the formal transfer OF the
Oregon, the naval fleet at Mare Island
could steam slowly down from the yard
and take up its station in the bay on
an imaginary line, run north from
about a mile off shore from Goat
| Island. The revenue cutters and
other vessels could form another line
| further west, and at a giv,n time the
Oregon could steam through the gaunt-
let, and after passing, be followed by
the rest of the fleet. After a marine
parade the local naval reserve and crews
of the warships could arrange a series of
barge races and boat drills. The Union
iron works would undoubtedly be will
ing to offer prize for the fastest barge
crew, entries to be open to the naval re-
serve crews and regulars alike.
eff it is decided to arrange great
naval show the Oregon can perhaps be
duly christened July next. 1t is not
expected her guns will be furnished her
| by that time, but the ship will be prac-
tically completed, except perhaps for a
| few turret plates and pieces of ordnance.
The parade could be arranged anyway
! and mock ceremony gone through
with. At the naval pay office and at
! Mare island it is said that if the people
of Vallejo, San Francisco and Oakland
would make it known that they intend
! ed to arrange for the first naval display
! of modern warships ever held In western
coast waters, the government would
undoubtedly, try to rush material to the
! Oregon's builders so that they might
complete the ship, thus enabling her tc
be formally turned over to the authorl
ties of the United States July f."

When to Sow Alfalfa.

This seed should be sown as early in
the spring as possible without danger
from freezing. The land should be in
good condition to grow the seed, and
from fifteen to twenty-five pounds OF
fresh seed should be sown per acre.
Prof. lngersol, of Nebraska, says re-
garding seed that "the previous years
growth should always be obtained II
possible. Sow either in drills or broad
cast and harrow it lightly. Then roll or
plank the soil to smooth it," He says
never SOW alfalfa with crop expecting
to get good results. Alfalfa when
young is very tender, and when you
reap the crop and let in the scorching
RAYS of the sun and hot winds it will
burn out. If you SOW any grain at all
with it, one half, or better still, one
fourth bushel of oats or rye will be SUI
ficient, and then cut it Oft early, to-
gether with any weeds that may nave
sprung up. Keep the stock of the field
during the first year, and the fore part
Of the second, and If conditions are ia
vorable you should have fine stand.

Breeding Up Stock.

When engaged in breeding up a ma
tive stock to some one of the improved
varieties there should be definite point
aimed at from the first. This must be
adhered to or the stock will soon become
entirely unreliable for breeding. Our
native animals are of no particular
breed, but if good specimens of their
kind they are better to breed from than
half breed or three-quarter bred ami
NAL of come other strain. For instance,
if you are breeding from Holstein bull
for milk or butter half blood of Short
horn or Jersey or Guesnsey will not give
as good results as will tirst-rate native
COW. In the former case there is prepo-
tency on both sides and the offspring
will be widely varient. With native
COW and thoroughbred bull of any
kind the prepotency is all in the same
line. If the breeding is to be continued
further the same strain of breeding
should be used as at first. The estab-
lished breeds are too firmly established
to be crossed more than once with any
certainty that the breeding will perpet-
uate the desirable qualities ON either
side of the house.

FARM AND GARDEN
Suggestions and Facts That
Tend to Profit.
GIVING A HORSE MEDICINE

Manner of Breeding Up Stock-The Time
to Sow Alfalfa-The Care of Seed Po-
tatoes-A Good Mixture of Grasses
for Pasture.
In the farmers stable, where drench-
ing bits and such improved appliances
are not at hand, the ordinary way of
giving horse medicine is to pour it
into his mouth from long necked bot
tie. There is in this more or less dam
ger of his breaking off with his teeth
and swallowing pieces OF glass.
Instead of pulling his head up with
the halter rope and trying to keep it
still with your hand put on an ordinary
bride with long reins attached to the
bit rings, pass the reins over something
firm overhead, such as a fork handle
laid across feed hole or ring in the
floor sleeper, and bring the horse up so
that his head will be directly under it.
Stand on box or chair on his near side
SO you will be within easy reach of his
lhCubil "bCA hlO lICbd lG iaiSCu bohC viz
loose end of the reins in your left hand
and by pulling them gently down the
pressure of the bit against the upper
jaw will raise his head gradually unit
nigh enough to prevent the liquid from
running out of the corners of his mouth
which he will then open and begin tc
work his tongue-left free for him tc
swallow. With the right hand pour the
liquid pour slowly into his mouth at the
corner, and usually you will hear hin
swallowing.
Should he absolutely refuse to swal
low confne his nostrils for a momen
with the hand, and in his efforts to ge
his breath he will forget to hold on t.
his mouthful of medicine. If the dos'
is large or he takes slowly, do not tir'
him by keeping his head up too long
Ease up with your left hand and trea
him gently. Carefully managed not
drop need be lost in drenching the mos
fractions horse.-Exchange.

England and the International None
tary Conference.

tary Conference.
New YORK, March ballard Smith
cables the following to the World from
London:
1.-The acceptance by the government
of bmetalist resolution in the house
of commons last night does not indicate
any change OF ministerial opinion on
the currency problem. Bimetalists, in
order to catch votes, have watered down
their motion SO that it involved no dec
laration of principle and merely COM
mitted it's supporters to an approval of
sending British representative to any
future international currency confer
ence. Sir William Vernon Harcourt
agreed to that proposal, but at the same
time reiterated with the utmost empha-
sis that Egland's prosperity is bound up
entirely with the maintenance OF the
gold standard. The whole dead weight
of official opinion remains opposed to
bimetalism, and it's adoption at the
present time is wholly outside the range
of practical politics. Any representative
sent by the present government to the
currency conference will be a monomet-
alist, and though Balfour is bimetalist
no Tory government would attempt to
alter the currency policy of England, as
all other Tory financial authorities are
against bimetalism."

THE INDIAN SERVICE.
Experts Report on the Plan for Supply
ing Approved.


WASHINGTON, March 2. - Secretary
Smith has approved the report of Ex-
pert Joseph T. Bender on the plan for
supplying the Indian service for the next
fiscal year. The report as forwarded to
the commissioner of Indian affairs pro-
vides for general retrenchment in ex-
penditure at both Chicago and New York
warehouses, and arranges TOR opening
the warehouses at Chicago about April
90, contingent on the opening of bids
there before those opened in New York
and for its continuance for period not
longer than eight months. A special
agent of the Indian bureau will be de-
tailed to open bids and award contracts
at San Francisco for goods for the Coast
agencies. Medical supplies heretofore
purchased for St. Louis delivery will be
required to be delivered either in New
York or Chicago, and the rate OF pay OF
inspectors of goods and supplies will be
reduced from $40 to IS per day. Secre-
tary Smith has urged that the bids be
opened at the earliest possible date, and
that the shipping of goods be closed
within less time than has been done
heretofore in order to keep the expenses
of conducting the work within the low
est possible limit.

THE WATERS DIVERTED.
Colorado and New Mexico Benefit at the
Expense of Mexico.


WASHINGTON, March 2.-Charles E..
Weshe, acting United States consul at
Paso del Norte, Mexico, has told in a
pathetic way through his report to the
state department of the sufferings OF
people in that section through the
drought brought on by the diversion of
the waters of the Rio Grande by agricul-
turists in Colorado and New Mexico.
He recalls the fact that Mexico by
treaty consented to equally share with
the United States the waters of this
river, and shows how vast a tract of
Mexican land, which formerly produced
great crops, is now barren as result of
the operations of the irrigation COM
panies in the upper river and its tribu-
taries in Colorado and New Mexico.
Attention is called to the recommend
alton of President Cleveland that a
mixed commission be created with power
to build great reservoir at Paso del
Norte to store the winter flood waters
for use in irrigating lands on the lower
river, which for ten years have been
made dry every summer.

Care for Seed Potatoes.

Toward spring when the weather gets
warm the potatoes will begin to throw
out sprouts. We should try to prevent
this. We can do SO if we have plenty of
room in the cellar, and this we shall in
all probabilities have at that season
as much of the crop will likely have
been disposed Of. The boxes should
then be placed one tier deep on the eel
lar floor. The light should then be let
in, and the contents OF each box turned
into the other about once every week at
first and oftener when the weather gets
still warmer. The potatoes thus handled
will shrivel and discolor, bat the sprouts
will not become long, and when the seed
is planted growth will he lmmediate
where the weather and soil are suitable.
