HIGH TEMPERATURES,
What Surgeon General Tryon Says OF
That ON Some Warships.

Tint on Some Warships.
In his last annual report Surgeon Gen.
eral Tryon says that although the health
of the navy has been most favorable for
the past year, very little attention appears
ventilation in naval architecture He ex-
presses the belief, however, that the in
tereSt now shown in the matter will
suit in methods that will vastly improve
the living parts of ship and, in a meas
ure, remedy excuses Of temperature to
which the working force of 4 ship is con-
t:ruously subjected. He regards as sig
nifcant the fact that there were ffty-five
cases of heat exhaustion in the engineer
force during the year.
Temperature i'm Engine Rooms.
On this subject the surgeon general says:
'"rhe average temperature of the engine
rooms of modern ships, under ordinary
cruising conditions, may range from JOG de-
grees Fahrenheit, with matches large and
open like the Charleston. to 152 degrees
in badly arranged and closed ships like the
Amphitrite. In the fire rooms the average
temperature under the above conditions
may range from 124 degrees in ships with
only one set of fires in each fire room ka
the Charleston, to 1S9 degrees when the
fire room IS between two sets Of fires like
the Cincinnati and Amphitrite. In the case
of the Cincinnati, when only one set OF
fires is used in each fire room, the average
temperature is reduced from lS9 degrees to
159 degrees. The result of these high tenn
perstures, with overwork, is plainly shown
by the number of disabilities in the engi-
near corDS.'

LONDON, November 4.-Regarding the
official statement from the Japanese govern
ment as to the position of Japan toward
Corea, which has been communicated to

From this it is inferred that Japan may

NJ king q total merchandise credit of s66, IA 80
THE total cost of materials and sup

profits at S27, 1892; deducting the
amount expended for labor, salaries,

1T is a well-known fact that during
the past two years but very few manu-
featuring enterprises have been con-
Quoted with much profit, while many
have succumbed to the general depres-
sion.
THAT the foundry has not only been

IF such was the case, the fault lies
with the law which eompels the COVER
nor, secretary of state and state treas
urer to purchase this Identical plant,
and as they had no discretion in the
matter, but were obliged to make the
purchase whether it was offered for a
reasonable price or not, the wonder Is
that the owners did not compel them TO

appropriated.

THE AGRICULTURAL BILL
Several Items Stricken Out by the Con-
ferees.

WASHINGTON, February 2S.-The con-
ferees on the agricultural bill reached a
conclusion this afternoon, the senate
yielding much that it had added to the
bill. Chief among the items 30 Welded
is that appropriating $40, 900 for the ex-
termination OF the gypsy moth, which
was placed in the bill after hard con-
test by Mr.. Lodge. The house agrees
to the senate amendment amending the
cattle expectation act, so as to extend
its provisions to all live cattle, the meat
OF which, fir esh, sailed, canned, corned,
packed, cured or otherwise prepared, 10
intended for expectation. An impor-
tant provision OF this law stipulates
THAT no clearance shall be given to anv
vessel having on board any fresh, salt
ed, canned, oorned or packed beef, be-
ing the meat of cattle killed after the
passage of this act for expectation and
sale in foreign country, from any port
IN the United States, until the owner or
skipper shall obtain from an inspector
appointed under the provisions OF this
act certificate that said cattle were free
from disease, and that their meat is
sound and wholesome.
Another amendment agreed to BY the
house authorizes the secretary of agri.
culture TO make the necessary rules TO
prevent the transportation from one
state or territory or district into any
other state or territory, or to any foreign
country, of the condemned carcasses OF
cattle which have been inspected. The
house agreed to the action OF the senate
in striking from the bill the authority
given the secretary to use part OF the
funds set aside for exports in the manu-
facture of sugar for experiments, in
sugar cane, and rice production on re-
claimed swamp lands in the San Joaquin
or Sacramento valley, Cal. The appro-
priation of SIS, 900 for irrigation investi-
CATION, and similar sum for investiga-
tons under the head of OF nutrition, cut
by the senate to 5000, was restored.
The increase of the senate in the general
expenses of the weather bureau from
S3l 900 to $50, 600 was agreed to by the
house.

On February q the rebels in twenty
five war canoes attacked the British
force at Sacrifice Island, but the fire of
the natives was Ineffective, and three of

nate defense of position naturally diff
fcult a landing was gallantly effected
and Nimbi completely burned. The
force was withdrawn the evening fol-
lowing, after the residences OF Kin koko

been destroyed"
An additional dispatch received from

ary force to-day. The admiral adds:
"The Brass chiefs and people implicated
in the attack upon Akassa have now
been punished, and no further opera
tions are contemplated"
