the fact that Il large open barrel of kero-

mate there. and carelessness on the part
of the employees is alleged rs the cause of

that a torpedo-boat is easy to build, being
nothing more than Il powerful engine en-
cased in the smallest hull that will float
it, for in reality it is one of the most un
certain products of the naval architect,
and only the highest degree of designing
and structural skill and the use of the best
material will stand the severe strains and
develop the very high speed absolutely re-
quired by the contracts under which the
torpedo boats are built. Success in build
ing vessels of ordinary type and merchant
craft is no guarantee of good results in

An immense amount of poor seed is sold
TO American farmers and gardeners, ac-
cording to a report recently issued by the
agricultural department. While other
countries have been looking into the sub
ject with view to protecting their agri-
culturiSts from abuses, no investigations
have been made in the United States eX-
cept at a few experimental stations.
Great apathy prevails, however, among
purchasers, who, as 4 rule, buy the cheap
est seed in the market and trust to luck
for it to produce the crop. Such seed,
says the report, is dear at any price and
the principal source of the hosts of bad
weeds, whose eradication cos>s vastly
more than the few cents pound extra
which good seed would have cost. The re-
port makes the charge that American seed
has acquired poor reputation in foreign
countries, in some of which it is difficult
for it to gain Il foothcld through prejudice.

Hanged the MESSENGER.

A severe engagement has taken place
between the Spanish troops under the
command of Col. AZuar and Gen. Rabi,
the insurgent leader, at tie head of large
force. Two hundred and eighty of the
latter were killed. Maj. Sanchez re-
ceived information to the effect that
force of 100 insurgents under the com
mand of Rabi had occupied strong posi-
tons near Manzanillo. province of San
tiagO de Cuba. Consequently the Major
sent & messenger TO his superior officer,
Gen. AZuar, proposing to him that they
should join their forces and make IN at
tack upon the insurgents. The messenger,
however. fell into the hands of the insur
gents, who hanged him and sent word to
Maj. Sanchez in the name of Col. Azuar
to make an attack upon the insurgent po
sition from a point which compelled the
troops to approach the insurgents through
a narrow thoroughfare. The soldiers
carried this position and put the enemy
to flight, with the loss upon the field of
$50 killed. The troops lost fifty men in
killed and wounded.

II. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: The midsummer reports from
all commercial centers Indicate distinctly
better crop prospects than other official
or commercial accounts, a marked in
crease in retail distribution of products,
an active demand for goods, and general
enlargement OF the working force, with
some advance in the wages of more than
half a million hands At the same time
they show that the rapid advance in prices
has somewhat checked the buying of a
few classes of products. In some parts
of the country the outlook for fall trade
is considered bright. There were 6,657
commercial failures in the first half of
1895, against 1893 in the first half of
1894. These commercial failures involved
Liabilities of SSS. 500 944 this year, against
$101,739,305 last year. Manufacturing
failures for the half year were 1,2o4,
against ] ,501 last year. and liabilities
$40, 3O1 $40, against Sal 1916, 1O2 last year.
Trading failures for the half year were
$3.50. against 5,402 last year, and liabli-
ties 5000. $50, against So, 345, 91S last
year. Banking failures not included in
above statements were 63. with liabilities
of $16,653, 216, against CO last year, with
liabilities of $13. 1S4 ,461. The details show
a decrease in every class of failures in the
second compared with the first quarter
of 1895. both in number and magnitude,
and defaulting liabilities averaging S34,
against $40 for every firm in business,
and S3.04, against $4.03, for every $1,000
