THREATENED COMPLICATIONS

With England Over the Venezuelan
Boundary Line.
A special to the New York Herald
from Washington says: The great in
transitional question of the hour is the
Venezuelan boundary dispute.
. Secretary Olney has prepared dis
patch to Ambassador Bayard which
will soon bring The matter to an issue.
This dispatch is of a most positive and
unequivocal nature. AS coon as il

ernment it will raise an issue which
can be settled only by the retreat of
one or the other governments.
The stand taken by the United States
in this dispatch is one which involves

of the goverDment-an enforcement OF
the Monroe doctrine.
Secretary Olney's dispatch is in sub

tive language that the United Slater

ezuels unless that nations right there
to is first determined by arbitration.
In polite but firm and significant
words, Secretary Olney declares it to be
the belief of the United States govern
ment that the territorial claims which
Great Britain has set up In Venezuela
are in the nature of an attempt to seize
territory on the American continent
to which she has no legal right. The
secretary points out two horns to the
dilemma, leaving Great Britain tc
choose which she will accept.
First. If the quarrel with Venezuela
is an ordinary dispute, having its or
igin in faulty descriptions, imperfect
surveys or other misunderstanding
a refusal to arbitrate the same is con-
trary to the precedents of Great Brit
ain herself and contrary to the practice
of all civilized nations.

RIOT IN CoNsfANTINoPLE.
Many Helpless Armenians Beaten TO
Death by Turks.

Many Helpless Armenians Beaten to
Death BY Turks.
To add to the state of terror prevail
ing at Constantinople, third slight
earthquake was experienced there
Wednesday. This, with the rioting
and bIoodshed, the imprisonment of
about 500 Armenians, the killing OF
prisoners in cold blood and the pres
ence of troops under arms at all points
Is well calculated to excite even the
most phlegmatic Turk.
The rioting and blood-letting which
began on Monday was renewed on
Tuesday evening in spite of all the
precautions taken by the authorities OF
the much disturbed city. On Tues.
day the principal rioting was the work
of the Sofas, Mohammedan theologi-
cal students, who chased and beat with
bludgeons every Armenian they met.
During Tuesday night a mob of Sofas
and Turks attacked the house of o
leading Armenian, Kasim Pasha,
storming the building and threatening
its destruction and killing several per-
sons who were unable to escape from
it in time.
This mob also attacked o cafe fire.
quented by Armenians and twenty of
these unfortunate people who were
found there were beaten to death with
bludgeons. To the disgrace of the
authorities, not q single policeman
appeared on the scene, and no attempt
was made to save the lives of the Ar
menians.
The Riot Was Deliberate.
The critical condition of affairs at
Constantinople Is the sensation of the
day in London, and ali the dispatches
from that city are read with the great
est e8gerness.
In spite of the assurance to the con-
trary of the Armenian committee of
London, the belief prevails in official
circles that the rioting at CONSTANT
ncDle was really deliberately planned,
brought about by the Armenian agits-
tors who are DESTROYS of forcing the
hands of the powers in order to bring
about direct interference upon the
part of Great Britain, France and
Russia in the administration of Ar
menis.
It is now known definitely that at
least FIVE Armenians were killed after
they had been arrested on Monday and
thig has caused great indignation

CUTTING THE RHEA.

COIIlNG IdE hdEA,
Some experience is necessary to decide
the right time for cutting, AS general
rule, care should be taken to effect the
cutting before the plant becomes covered
with hard or woody bark, the forma-
ton Of which is indicated by the green
skin turning brown, the discolora ton
commencing at the bottom of the stem.
A practical way Of finding whether the
plant is ready for cutting is to pass the
hand down the stem from top to bottom.
If the leaves break off crisply, crop of
cuttings may be taken off the plants.
DR.. Forbes Watson says that the plants
are ready for cutting when 81 to #.
high. eff the length is not more than
2 feet, the fibre is very fine, but the
chances are you get more waste, and not
such a good percentage of fibre. In the
long stems the fibre is not so fine as in
the medium ones" Care should be
taken, however, not to remove more
than can be treated for extraction of the
HO1O WlV11Ah Vic II 11OuIo' CApCEIS4Cc,
says Mr.. Theo. Norman, 'has enabled
us to establish the fact that the fibre of
the second cutting is superior to the first,
and that in every instance it is prefera-
BILE to cut the stalks before the plant
flowers and before it is completely ma
ture in order to obtain finer and softer
fibre"
OUTTURN.
DR.. Forbes Watson says: "Estimates
have been made showing that you could
get 40 tons per acre, but think these
REQUIRE to be vari1ed before we can &C.
cept them. Anyway, do not think we
can conclude for the present. hope
shall be mistaken-that each crop will
yield more than $50 lbs per acre. You
may, therefore, obtain crops or even 4,
in the year, which would bring it to 1000
lbs. per acre" But the outturn is vari-
ously estimated by different authorities
quoted by Dr. Watt in his Dictionary of
Economic Products. In a pamphlet on
Ramie issued under the authority of the
Department of Agriculture of Queens
| land, we read 'under favorable circum-
stances an acre will produce 40 cwts.,
but 30 cwts. is regarded as an average
crop"
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-10-09

destroyed by caterpillars or other in
sects, owing to the quantity of tannin
which the bark contains; and lastly,
three or four cuttings may be taken off
the same ground every year. But iUhas
serious advantage in that it is one of
the most exhausting crops known, re-
quiring the land to be left fallow before
anything else can be put on the same
field after the removal of tee crop.

The Rhea Fibre Plant.

S0yIOH, says Lie genus bO0umOFld IL
represented in Ceylon by more than one
species, B. malabarica (the Sinhalese
Maha diya-duD being a recognized, bre
plant common in Ceylon and used by
the natives for making fishing lines
Regarding the genus, DR.. Watts says
Gall the species of Boehmeria receive
popularity the name OF Rhea or grass
cloth fibre plants and indeed, the bushy
or herbaceous mem bers of two or three
other allied genera equally fall within
that designation. since they all yield
delicate, white, silvery and exceedingly
strong fibres. 1t seems likely however
that true Rhea-fbre is the product alone
of B. Nivea."
A trial of the Rhea or Ramie fibre
plant is now in progress at the school of
agriculture, Colombo, from cuttings i'm
ported from Calcutta. We also hear Of
an agency having been established in
Colombo for Rhea Fibre Company in
England, and already some gentlemen
lin the interests of this company we
believe) have been prospecting for land
of an extensive acreage in the Rayigam
Korale. In view, therefore, of the local
interest that has begun to be evinced in
rhea, we append short account Of the
cultivation Of the plant based on the
article in Watts Dictionary of Economic
Products.
The rhea plant is exceedingly hardy,
and thrives IN almost any description of
soil. But preference should be given to
rich, light, sandy loan, well worked
and sufficiently shady, The subsoil
should be good, as the roots penetrate II
TO II inches deep in search OF nutrition.
CLIMATE.
Fer profitable working, a situation
should be chosen which would promote
the quickest growth of the stems, and
yield the greatest number OF cuttings
with the best quality of fibre. A situa-
ton fulfilling these conditions would
most probably be found in tropical
climate with a moist atmosphere and
fairly good RAINFALL 1t would succeed
in almost any part of the tropical plains
of India.
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL.
The land, if not naturally rich, should
be manured; it should also be piowed
to considerable depth, and titled lightly
so as to remove the weeds. Burrows or
small trenches feet apart should then
be made, and the land kept ready to re-
, ceive rhea roots or cuttings by the end
of the rainy season. An analysis of rhea
shows that the most favorable manure
should contain nitrate of soda, sea-salt
and lime.
PLANTING AND CARE OF THE CROP.
Rhea is easily propagated. 1t grows
readily from root or stem cuttings and
from seed. Supposing the mode of
propagation by root-cuttings to be
adopted, the young lateral shoots with
their roots should be cut off and planted
in burrows before the rainy season, to a
depth of inches; little watering may
be necessary should the weather be dry.
1t will be found that plants will grow
rapidly to a height of or feet; that the
roots will become stronger every year,

The following letter written recently
from Morgantown by Prof. A. ID. Hop
kins. entOmologist. to Mr.. Jacob j.

itself and will interest fruit growers In

evidences of the work of the bacteria
spoken of by Prof. Hopkins:
&" Dear Sir " our letter Of inquiry
and specimens of blighted apple twigs

the trouble is caused by low form of
plant life known as bacteria, the minute
spores or seeds of which are dissent
mated by the wind. Alighting on the
tender twigs, they commence to grow,
and soon enter into the bark and sap,
when the sap sOurs or ferments and
causes the affected twigs to die. Spores
ripen on the diseased twigs, which are
carried to other twigs on the same or
adjoining trees, and in this manner the
disease rapidly spreads throughout an
orchard. The disease is known as
Fine Blight" Itattecks apple, pear
ounce, thorn, crab apple, etc., and
causes immense damage in orchards
throughout the country.
The only remedy that can at present
be recommended is to cut out and burn
the dying twigs as fast as they appear,
always cutting at least six inches be-
low the diseased bark on the twig.
