QUARANTINE IN BRAZIL.
Many More Stations Are Needed for Con-
venisnoe to Vessels.


WASHINGTON, j ly 3.-Minister Thomp-
son has made a report to the secretary
regarding the Brazilian coast for addi-
tiOnal quarantine stations. He says that
Notwithstanding Brazil has a coast line
nearly 1000 miles in extent and to ex-
coed forty deep harbors there is only one
quarantine station in the entire country
which is located at Itha Granda, sixty
five miles from Rio de Janeiro.
The principal commercial ports such as
Para, Psrnambuco aud Bahia are many
hundred miles from this point Conse-
quently it is great hardship for vessels
to go to quarantine when ordered there,
as they are apt to be upon provocation,
the quarantine requirements being very
strict
This trip he says is often so expensive
as to entail the loss of all profit on YES
sePs cargo together with the ships char
ter rights. He says that a lazaretto has
been promised at Pernambuco, but there
has been delay in its construction, and
that he has recently devoted himself to
securing temporary structure.

USE POOR SEED.
An Immense Amount of Tt Is Used by
American Farmers.


American Farmers.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-An immense
amount of poor seed is sold to American
farmers and gardeners, according to
report issued by the agricultural depart
ment. Other countries for many years
have been looking into the subject with
a view to protecting their agriculturists
from abuses in the seed trade no investi-
cations have been made in the United
States except at few experiment sta
tions.
Great apathy prevails. however, among
purchasers of seed, who as a rule buy the
cheapest 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
costs vastly more than the
few cents pound extra which good seed
would have cost The report makes the
charge that American seed has acquired
a poor reputation in foreign countries,
in some of which it is difficult for it to
gain foothold through prejudice.

New York Minister Revises the Marriage
Ceremony.

New York Minister R0ViS0S the Marriage
Ceremony.
NEW YORK, July 3.-Rev. Thomas
Dixon, jr., says:
During my whole life as minister of
the gospel have never attempted to ex-
act such preposterous promise from
woman in the few marriage ceremonies
which have performed, for the simple
reason that knew they would not keep
such promise.
mo woman does it, nor can she do it,
and it is a revival of barbarian to at
tempt to enfore it, and is impossible of
fulfIlment It is a mistake for minis
ter of God to undertake to marry parties
whom he does not well know. This hap
pened to me on a few occasions, and l
promise you 1t will not occur again, for
I had occasion to be sorry.
81 shall never during the remainder of
my ministry as Gods chosen servant ask
a woman to make herself slave to man."

BOXING THE SALVAGE
DAMAGED STOCK FROM THE RECENT
FIRE GOES TO CHICAGO.
Work OF subcommittee Having in
Charge investigation OF Fire
Protection.

Something like order is being restored
out of the chaotic conditions of the half
square of South Meridian street below
Maryland. The debris of the wall which
fell in the alley south of Ward Brothers
drug store has been cleared away. Traffic
was cut off on the west side of the street
by the fire line, but 1t has been removed
and the street is now open. Yesterday
scores of men were at work in the different
buildings carrying out such parts OF the
stock as were not totally destroyed.
Messrs. Schnull & Company and Hide
brand & Company have contracted with
the Great Western Salvage Company, of
Chicago, to look after the salvage of their
STOCKS. A force OF men is engaged in box
ing the goods for shipment. This concern
was organized several years ago for the
express purpose OF recovering goods not to-
tally destroyed by fire. 1t has immense
lighthouses and warehouses in Chicago
ana Is amply equipped for the work. The
goods are shipped to Chicago, where they
are overhauled and placed in salabie con-
dtion, after which they are Grated and
listed to the credit of the firm and the
goods sold on commission, the salvage COM
pany bearing all expenses after the goods
are delivered in Chicago and charging 20
per cent. commission for placing the goods
in marketable condition and selling them.
1t is said their commissions on the George
w. Stout fire alone amounted to $1,000.
This sort of an arrangement lessons the
Oh WOfk necessary IN adjusting
losses with insurance companies.
Hildebrand & Company are actively ar
ranging for the removal of the portion of
their stock that was saved TO their new
quarters and hope TO get moved this week.
None of the old stock will be taken to the
new store, but an entire new stock will
be purchased. They made some shipments
yesterday and expect to be able to take
care OF all orders in a day or two.
Schnuil & Company are already fairly
started in their new location. A large con-
signment of stock was ordered the day of
the fire and the goods have arrived and are
in the depots. Their city orders will be
filled from the store room on Meridian
street opposite their old stand, while all
country shipments will be made from the
depot which they have purchased. A MEM
Der of the firm said yesterday all ideas OF
buying up another firm had been aban-
doned. Their new stock is practically COM
pleted and they can take care Of all bust
ness from now on

silver Wing VIII Try to Get the
Upper Hand.

The Democrats are coming to town to-
morrow to tell how Il happened and the
why's and wherefores of the great downfall
OF last month. That is some of them are
expected. No programme Of the meeting
has been arranged for it is not yet ap-
parent that there will be enough here to
carry out any set order Of affairs and 1t
is safer to wait until 1t is seen who will
venture TO the capital city before deciding
whether there will be anything in the way
of a meeting
There is a strong fight going on within
the party, although 1t is kept wonderfully
quiet. The managers do not want the
silver question. or in fact finances. dis
cussed tomorrow.
The free silver faction Is simply waiting
the opportunity to push its claims for
recognition, and as there is little interest
felt in the coming meeting In the State,
time TO strike and bring the question TO
issue. This effort has been making for
some time past and Chairman Taggart,
realizing the situation, knows that he must
muster a force OF strictly party men here
tomorrow large enough to prevent the
free silver men gaining control OF the
dence has been carried on and Mr. Taggart
thinks he will have enough stalwarts here
to overshadow the silver men.
IT Is also rumored that any effort on the
part OF the meeting to indorse President
Clevelands administration will meet a
strong resistance from the faction of the
party that is not blinded in it's party al
legiance to the necessities OF the country.
While this element Is still Democratic II
