The Spinach Leaf Maggot.

This is the most injurious pest known
to infest the spinach crop in the market
garden district Of Long Island 1t at
tacks not only the fall crop but also the
spring crop-at least the late spring
crop 1t has been known for number
Of years that this pest infested the
leaves Of beetS, and it was suspected
that it also fed within the leaves Of
lambs quarters. According to a bull
letin from the New York station the
only feasible plan of controlling this
pest is clean cultivation, to destroy all
lambs quarters or pigweed, combined
with late fall on early spring blowing
of old spinach fields There are proba-
bly, six broods of the spinach leaf mag
got throughout the season, the last
brood passing the winter in the pupa or
resting stage.

MATTERS An WASHING roN.

The treasury deficit for the fiscal year
now closed is S2G.7O0,O00 The deficit
was kept down to its very lowest limit
by holding up appropriations and refus-
ing to make necessary expenditures.
The commissioner of internal revenue
has begun scheduling to the auditor of
the treasury the approved claims under
the S5,00O,000 appropriation for the pay
ment of sugar bounty claims, and it is
expected all of them will be in the bands
OF the auditor before the close of the
week. 1t is probably payment will be
made on basis of G5 per cent, which
would leave fraction of a cent on the
dollar to be retained until the final settle
ment. The amount of the claims under
the appropriation Is 87,G39.3S3.

When and How to Sow Millet.

Millet, which may be sown any time
after danger from frost has passed. is
frequently deferred until the middle of
June, or even a little later; but, says
Rural New Yorker, it is best when sown
rather early What is known as Hun
garian grass, or small millet does not
grow so large as the German millet but
the fodder produced from it is finer and
more palatable, though less in yield than
from the larger variety. Early sowed
mlllet is really better than that sowed
late for hay, as it ripens III warm
weather, when it can be cured to perfec-
ton. Millet loves a rich, moist soil.
though it will grow on almost any kind
of land. Dry, pSavelly soil is perhaps
the worst for millet, as it is a rapid
grower and takes up large quantities of
water.
As the seeds are small the land should
be well fitted ard rolled after the seeds
have been put in 1t starts slowly at
first, but makes a very rapid growth as
soon as it is well established and the
weather becomes hot. 1t is not likely
that you would succeed in seeding to
clover and timothy with this crop, ex-
cept in rare cases. The grass seeds would
start nicely, but the millet tillers so
profusely, grows so rapidly and shades
the ground and robs it of moisture to
such an extent that it usually crowds
out the grasses and clover.

Favorable Termination of the
Negotiations
For His Release-News Made
Public Today.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Ambassador
Eustis has been instructed to accept the
offer of the French government to release
ex-U. S. Consul Waller from further i'm
prisonment and pardon his offense on
condition that the affair be thereby
terminated as between France and the
Z. S. and that the latter make no claim
in behalf of the prisoner, based upon
his arrest, conviction or imprisonment
Waller may, ,however,sue in the French
courts for damages for i'll treatment.
These facts, showing the amicable
termination of the celebrated Waller
incident appear in the correspondence
sent to both houses of congress today by
the president in answer to resolutions of
inquiry upon the subject.
Secretary Olney says that there is no
doubt whatever of Walters guilt; that
"the evidence fully sustains the charge"
and no court could have hesitated to con-
denim him.
President Cleveland says that Secre-
tarY Olney's conclusions do not appear
to admit of any reasonable doubt"

day paying the penalty for the murder
of Robert Ross at Troy in March, '94
Shea was attended to the chair by a
clergyman from his home, and by a
priest from the Roman Catholic church
of this place. After receiving the last
sacrament Shea said: IT am innocent
father, Innocent" an assertion which he
repeated during the rite of anointment

The current sent the body lightly
against the straps and the neck and

seconds the contact was maintained and
reduced to light voltage for thirty one
seconds when the current was turned off
There was an escape from the filled lungs
again. A contact of 81 seconds was main

was life, but the physicians said that
death was instantaneous

STUART CONFIDENT.
Railroad Rates Made at Ell PasO for

Railroad Rates Made at Ell PasO for
the Prize Fight.
Ell PAso, Texas, Feb. 14xe-A sign in
big red and black letters was placed in
front of Dan Stuart's office this morning
announcing that rates could be learned
and baggage checked within. This ia to
get the approximate number who will
go to the fight, which event now seems
assured.
The place of meeting is, of cours e,
secret, and nc one will know until the
spot is reached Seven additional Texas
rangers reached here this morning, max
ing thirty-two now under command of
Adjutant Gen. Mabry. Itis reported that
the Mexican rur&les are gathering across
the river at Juarez. A number of excur-
sionists from New York and other east
ern points arrived today and larger num-
bers are reported on the way.
The ministers of Ell Paso decided this
morning to open up board of foreign
missions against prize fights. They
went in a body across the river to Juarez
to see Governor Ahumada to get him to
take active steps against the designs
of Dan Stuart to bring of the
fight on Mexican soil. Dan Stuart,
however. remains confident, and
declares the fights will surely
come off There is no doubt that he will
keep his word so far as the big fight is
concerned and the chances are very
strong that he will keep it as regards
most, if not all, of the lesser fights.
Col. Lawler, of Houston, stakeholder
for the Maher- Fitzsimmons fight tele-
graphed this morning that on account of
sickness in his family he would not be
able to come to Ell Paso. James F.
O'Rourke, backer of George Dixon was
then chosen permanent stakeholder and
Sam Austin of New York, temporary
holder. turned over the entire stake of
$4,000 to Mr. O'Rourke.

COLLEGE SHOULD STOP 1T.

Useless Row at Washburn That Distracts
Students Attention From Their Studies.
The fight in the Washburn College
Oratorical association got into the
courts this afternoon, when an
injunction suit was fled in
Judge Hazen's court to prevent the
new paper, The Washburn Reporter,
from getting the printing of the state
oratorical association.
Some weeks. ago Ed Leland, son of the
Republican boss. turned the ode of vic
tory for the Reporter by buying up
great many of the shares of stock in the
association. Now he has more
stock than the Mid Continent supporters,
many of whom are memb of the asso-
citation, but do not own any stock. They
claim they should be allowed to vote the
same as stockholders.
If the college authorities can't stop
these foolish boys fights, that only pre-
vent students from acquiring their les
sons, they ought to suppress both papers.
Too many boys get notion that they go
to school for everything except to study
their books.

By an examination of these figures it
will be seen that the expenditures ex-
ceeded the receipts for the fiscal year,
S1S3, 61S445, To make it plain the de-
ficit for the year is just sat 80 for every
man, woman and child in the United
States and Topeka's share in this deficit
is $91, 900. What glorious success was
the popular loan!
The situation is serious. There must
be a change. There will be a change.
There is only one class of people who
are contemplating the situation with sat
isfaction; they are the bondholders, the
men who live without work, who are
able to invest in government bonds.
They toll not, neither Go they spin. but
they live in ease and comfort, while the
poor deluded people who "elect" gov
ernments pay the bills.
There will be no wall from Wall street.
Nothing will be heard from ], Pierpont
Morgan and his associates who are fat
tening on their share of the plunder as
long as the people continue to pay the
interest. They, like the common plain
people, have "unlimited confidence" in
the government and they eem to believe
that the people will ''pay, pay" as long
as grass grows and water runs, and so
they will go on with the assistance of the
governments managers forcing bond
issues and pushing the nation deeper
and deeper into debt.
A receiver is needed Some one must
be named who will take the government
in charge and run it as it should be run,
in the interest of the members of the
partnership and not in the interest of the
officers and their friends only.
Let the receiver be named, the sooner
the better and let it be The People. 1t
is the only way out of this terrible stu
alton. Let the receiver take charge be-
fore it is too late to hold the partnership
insoluble.
If The People do not soon get control
of the government again, Ben TiIIman's
threats may come true.

A Scamda1Ous Incident BetrayinS
How the Gold Bandits Work Their
Game.
New YORK, Feb 11.,-An incident
attending the activity in the subtreasury
precincts, on account of the rush of bid
ders for the new government bonds
wishing to make deposits of gold, was a
somewhat brisk verbal encounter be-
tween Assistant Treasurer Conrad n.
Jordan and Mr.. Zimmerman of the bull
lion brokerage firm of Zimmerman s.
Forshay.
The subtreasury was the scene of a
busy throng of brokers. bankers, clerks.
messengers and newspaper men when
Mr. Zimmerman, turning to a customer
of his, who was in the line of depositors
for bonds, pointed to a number of bags
of gold which were lying on the floor of
the subtreasury and remarked: "There
is your gold, delivered according to con-
tract"
Mr.. Zimmerman had three times pre-
vionsly during the day obtained gold at
the subtreasury on presentation OF
greenbacks aud delivered the same TO
his customers. On the fourth occasion,
however, Mr.. Jordan interviewed and re-
fused to accept the gold, which was
carted away at the expense of the
broker.
Mr.. Zimmerman demanded the reason
of the refusal to accept the gold, and
Mr.. Jordan made the point that,
while any principal or representa-
tive of principal could not be prevent
ed from drawing gold on presentation of
greenb backs, the government buildings
could not be utilized for the delivery of
gold by brokers TO their customers, 1t
should be remarked that no exception
would have been taken had the gold
been taken away and brought back
afterward by the purchaser. The affair
created no little excitement at the time.
