called upon the secretary of war this

imously adopted.

Washington, May 30.--The st. Louis
horror was the theme of touching
and eloquent prayer by Rev. DIR. Mil

at the opening of the session today.
When the house resolution was re-
oeived authorizing the loan of tents to
the mayors of ST. Louis and East St.
Louis, Palmer asked immediate consid-
GRAFTON. Vest interposed the sugges-
tion that while it might seem ungra-
cious for him to interpose objection,
yet, in view of the late reports showing
the usual exaggeration attending the
first hours of calamity, he did not
consider the action necessary. The
people of st. Louis, he said, could take
care of themselves. The resolution
was amended to be joint instead Of
concurrent, thus requiring presenta-
tion to the president, and was then
adopted.
Washington, June 1.-The senate
today reached an agreement to take a
final vote on the bill to prohibit the is
sue of bonds, Hill reserving the right
to move to postpone the vote. Two
bills, repeating the law relating to re-
bates on alcohol used in the arts, and
amending the law concerning the dis
tilling of brandy from fruits, were
passed. The later authorized the ex-
emption of distillers of brandy made
from the provisions relating to the

tax thereon.

FLoRIDNs ORANGE GROVES.
Recovery From the Freeze OF 1895
is Slow.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
Having just returned from Florida, !
have been piled with many questions con-
corning the condition and prospect of the
orange trees in that state. I can best
answer these inquiries by setting down
the results of my observations, and the
conclusions reached, in an exchange OF
views and experiences with some of the

to portions Of Volusia county. especially
in and about DeLand where my grove
is located. Cursory views of orange groves
were had in the ride from Palatka TO De

NY first observations of the groves along
the line of the above-named railroad in
ducad a feeling OF depression. The trees
had not sprouted as 1 had hoped In a
number of cases it was quite apparent that
this was due, either to no work at all, or
to work commenced only the past spring.
Then, too, where l knew the trees We're
worked last year. there was a deficiency of
development which was noticeable both
as to size and quantity of growth and
also in the general indications of vigor
Evidently the trees had not been ferti-
lized sufficiently, or properly And this
lack of adequate fertilization is the great
rock in the way of a rapid progress in
the rehabilitation of the orange groves

The Columbus Ledger OF Sunday publish
ed the following sad story: "a very sad
and unfortunate death occurred yester-
day near Crawford. Ala. eleven miles
west of the city. 1t was that of Annie C.

body of the girl was found hanging to a
bed post in the room. 1t was suspended
by a piece of strong Irvine. The case was
evidently one of suicide.
The discovery naturally greatly
horrifed when they made it. A mes

What a shock IL was to the father, when
he heard the strange, sad tidings!

saddened by the affairs. The position of
the body and all showed that the girl had
taken her own life by choking herself to
death. The little girl was religiously
inclined. At an entertainment a few
nights ago. she spent some of the time
reading the Bible. and, it is said, praying
she has several brothers and sisters

The proposed federation OF the British

the future Of this last OF the continents
presents problems which are. like the
country itself. unique in the history OF
human experience, while the Vastness
Of its extent. the isolation OF It's position.
and the greatness of its apparent stores
Of mineral and other wealth render that
future a matter of special importance 10
the rest of the world. IL is a country
which even more than America has its
