ECONOMY
Was One Feature of the Agri-
cultural Department.
Two Million Dollars of the Appropria-
tion During the Four Years,
Or e50O,oOO Each Year, Was Covered
Back Into the Treasury--A Refuta-
tion of What the Secretary Calls
"CnlAmity Howlers."

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.--Secretary
Morton, in his annual report, which
will shortly be made public, will re-
view the economical features of his
administration and cite figures to show
that he has covered back into the treas
ury So, 600, 900 of the appropriation for
the agricultural department dur
ing the four years, or $500, 900
each year. This is in the
neighborhood of two per cent. of the
appropriations for the year. One of
the principal features of the report
will be a lengthy refutation Of the
claims of what the secre tary calls
calamity howlers-" He will contend
that agricultural interests are not de-
clining; that 70 per cent. of the farms
in the country are without any incum-
brance, while the incumbrance on the
remaining % per cent was incurred in
the purchase and improvement of the
lands. The report will state that the
greatest ratio Of mortgages is found in
the North Atlantic states and that
New Jersey shows especially heavy in
cumbrances.
The secretary will also decry the
lavish publications of the government
and show pruning down of the liter
ary out of the department.

WEYLER'S RECALL
Hangs Upon the Result of the Present
Operations In Cuba.

Hangs Upon the Result of the Present
Operations In Cuba.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-It Is learned
here on authority that the Spanish
government has given Gen. Weyler to
understand that he must push his
operations against the insurgents
aggressively and vigorously. Un-
less he soon achieves a decisive vic.
tory over the Cubans it is believed he
will be recalled. Gen. Weyler, it is
understood, is aware of the alterna.
tive, and his present campaign in
Pinar del Rio is expected to result in
an engagement that will put a new as
pect on the Cuban situation one way
or the other.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, consul general to
Cuba, called at the state department
Monday and was with Secretary Olney
for half an hour. So far as could be
learned there was no special signifi-
canoe in the visit beyond further
general discussion of the situation
in Cuba. Reports continue to come
from the acting consul general at
Havana. and several of these were
looked over and later taken by Gen.
Lee for further perusal. The consul
general had not called at the white
house up to noon and hardly expected
to go there Monday. Mr.. Cleveland is
busily engaged in writing his annual
message and few callers see him.

TWO CHILDREN CREMATED.

They Had Played With Matches In n
Barn-The Remains Had to BE Handled
With Shovels.
NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 16.-Saturday
afternoon two children of Wyatt
Meeks, who lives in Carolina township,
near Greenville, were burned alive.
The children were in the habit of play
ing with matches, and three boys,
aged respectively three, five and seven
years, got some matches and went into
the barn. In striking them, the
shucl1s caught fire. The Oldest boy, in
the meantime had escaped and locked
his little brothers up The FIRE burned
rapidly and in the excitement it was
some time before the other children
were thought Of. When the barn was
burned down the remains of the two
children were found. They were
burned beyond recognition and had to
be handled in shovels.

John R. McLean's
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer;
or more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John r. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour-
nails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
200, 900 new subscribers; the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers /:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. By
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class Of business
interests catered to, which cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as well as
those of greater magnitude.

The Aryan COWBOYS.

The study of domestic cattle should
be of especial interest to us because they
have undoubtedly occupied more i'm
portant place in cur own ancestral his
tory than any other species of animal
The Aryan tribesmen from whom nearly
all western civilization folk are de-
scended were cowboys almost to man.
Like the Kaffirs and damaras of South
Africa today, all their thoughts were
about their herds. This is shown in
curious way by the study of the early
development of our language. The San
skirt word fer king meant originally "a
chief herdsman. The word for an as
sembly, or the meeting place Of a con-
gress, was tie same as that fer a. cow
yard. A soldier was lone who fights
about cows 1t would seem as if they
regarded nothing else as worth ruling
over or talking about OR fighting for.
Professor Max Muller traces the word
daughter to the ancient term for a
milkmaid. II the good old times they
plainly did not take any account of
young ladies who were not accomplished
performers III the cowpen.
The COW OF OK was for long ages the
chief standard Of value Everything,
from q new coat to new wife, was
priced at SO many COWS. Many Of our
words which refer to money bear traces
Of this, such as 'fee'' and "pecuniary, ;"
which are directly derived from the old
English and Latin words for cattle.
Doubtless there were currency disputes
when other materials began to be used
for coinage, and difficulties arose about
the adjustment of relative values. "Cow
metallism" might well have been an
important plank in some Of the Aryan
political platforms. North American

Gas Transmission.

The transmission Or conveyance OF
gas under pressure to long distances,
which was an unsolved problem some
20 years ago, is now fixed fact repre-
scented by the present use of about IS,
900, 900 feet of pipe used in the distri-
button of natural gas On the first dis
covery Of this article the pressure at the
wells was sufficient to drive it through
the pipes almost as far as desired; but,
this pressure declining, some additional
methods were necessitated, the well
known air compressor being resorted to
to pump the gas, and, as showing its
efficiency, there are at Greenland, III
Indiana, gas wells which have long car
ried supplies to Chicago. There are two
s inch pipe lines used, the gas being
pumped distance Of about 116 miles.
There is at Redky, Ind, pumping sta
ton Of this character that supplies the
towns of Springfield, Tihin, Lima,
Dayton, Piqua and other places in the
western part of Ohio. Near Pittsburg
there is a gas plant which pumps 20,
600, 600 cubic feet every "a hours for
use in mills, the pumping Of this being
without the least difficulty, and the
Philadelphia company pumps many mil
lion cubic feet day There are New
England air compressors that are pump
ing every day at various stations in the
United States the enormous quantity
of nearly 100, 900, 900 cubic feet every
"a hours.-New York Sun.

British Subjects Beyond the Essequibo.
Any study of Guiana must be from
the delta of the Orinoco or along the
many streams that interlace the coun-
try. The reason is obvious. The country
is almost as unknown as many regions
in the heart of Africa. There are no
means of communication except the
rivers, with here and there few mule
paths extending from the right bank OF
the lower Orinoco to the mining camps
of the interior. In all this vast territory
I doubt if there are more than 20, 600
inhabitants. Nine.tenths Of these are
wandering tribes Of uncivilized Indians,
who respect neither law nor governme.-t
One man met who was familiar with
the district said that not over 5000
people live in the delta north and east
Of the Essequibo up as far as Ciudad
Bolivar, but in the English statement
of the case reference is made to 40, 600
British subjects The vast majority OF
| the inhabitants are Indians and half
breeds, who never heard of England. A
| friend of mine met Sargent Barnes on
| board a steamer, and Barnes told him
that the one English family he person
ally knew of in his territory was an
Englishman and his native wife and
half breed children. This population,
moreover, is a floating one. A native
house does not mean much work. When
the boundary line is drawn, if the $40,
| 900 British subjects" do not like it
they can put themselves and their goods
into q few canoes and move. w.

Julian Scott, Drummer Boy.

The Boston Transcript says that Ju-

Third Vermont volunteers, received
the first congressional medal Of honor
for bravery at the battle of Lees Mills,
Va, April 16, 1862. His duties did not
require him to be present on the field.
Learning that four companies Of his
regiment, including his own, had cross
ed the creek and were suffering terrible
losses and that many Of his comrades
were killed and wounded, he started for
