The ship Mowhan, now in Portland,
Oregon, took on board as ballast, on
leaving Belfast, two thousand tons Of
Irish soil, which, when leveled off,
made quite stretch of ground, and
the ships company proceeded to put
It to good use by planting a stock of
garden truck in it. The seeds came
up all right, and the plants fcurished
finely, and, when the ship was in the
tropics, grew with great rapidity. As
they progressed toward the Horn, and
the weather grew colder things came
to perfection rapidly. The crew and
ships apprentices amused themselves
by wedding and cultivating the plants,
and oil had green vegetables to their
hearts content. AS they came around
the Horn, the garden was replanted.
The only drawback to the garden were
the weeds, which grew SO rapidly that
they could hardly be kept down.

REPORT ON CUBANs.
Gen. Merritt May Be Sent Down for
That Purpose.

Gen. Merritt May be sent Down AOr
That Purpose.
Major General Merritt, commanding
the department of tho Missouri of our
army, has beea called to Washington,
it is said, for the purpose Of being
sent to Cuba to make a report to the
president upon the condition of affairs
there.
It has usually been the practice of
this government to detail ON army
officer to any country of the globe,
when a war is in progress, in order
that he may report to the war depart
ment upon the methods of warfare,
Such was the case during the Japan
China war. This government sent
both an army and naval officer to
make reports upon that. Lieutenant
O'Brien, who is now stationed at Nc
Pherson barracks, at Atlanta, was the
officer who was detailed to go with the
Japanese army during the fighting in
Manchurie and he made an elaborate
report on the tactics pursued in that
war.
General Merritt is q man of recog-
nized ability and one in whom the
president has the utmost confidence.
It is, therefore, said that the president
would like to have him 90 to Cuba to
report upon the situation there. It is
said the president desires the iudg-
ment of military expert on the situa-
! ton, and that in his desire he wants
the best opinion possible to get
No information can be got at the
war department as to the facts in the
case. Indeed, the president is giving
out no information about his position
on the Cuban affair.

Judge Morrow, of the United States
District Court in San Francisco, de-
cided, a few days ago, that a Chinese
born in this country is citizen of the
United States, and as such may leave
and return to this country at any time
he please. The decision was made in
the case of q Chinaman who arrived in
San Francisco from China recently,
and was debarred from landing by the
Collector, on the ground that he was
q laborer, and as such barred out b
the Exclusion act The Chinamal
was born in San Francisco, and hac
been to China on a visit. The United
States District Attorney argued thai
a Chinese could not be citizen o.
this country, even though born here
under the Fourteenth Amendment t.,
the Constitution. Judge Morrow
ruled that Chinaman born here is 4
citizen of the United States within tn
meaning of the citizenship clause O.
the Fourteenth Amendment, even il
he is not citizen of any State. Il
case will be appealed to the United
States Supreme Court.

The colored Bishop Turner is re-
ported to have used the following Ian
guage recently in Baltimore: az be-
leve that the time will come when this
continent will tremble beneath the
foot Of the black man, but it will not
be until we have scme individuality,
a country of our own, a flag of our
own. The black race in this country
is yet in its infancy. We have a great
and grand future and we will be in the
prime and vigor of our existence when
the white race is on the decline. The
black race is Gods youngest child.
This world runs by periodicity. Races
have their day, play their part and go
out. Bringing us to this country was
no accident, not work of the devil. u

A curious form Of life insurance is
springing up in French manufacturing
towns under the name OF La Fourmi
(the anti. The popularity is that the
longer q man lives the less he becomes
entitled to. The payment of 81 q
month assures the payment of $1,000
to the heirs of man dying before the
age of thirtY-eight, the payment
diminishing proportionately toS5lO at
fifty.one. The idea seems to bethat if O
man dies young his children are likely
to be in want, but that when he j
fifty they will be able to earn their
living.

The Exposition in Chicago VIII be a
Success.


The Southern States Exposition Com
pany of Chicago is incorporated. Fri
day the company received the necessary
papers from the secretary of state at
Springfield authorizing it to proceed
with receiving subscriptions for the
stock. Later in the day an informal
meeting of some of the incorporators
was held, at which list of persona to
whom circulars should be sent asking
them to subscribe for stock was agreed
upon.
The stock, it was said, will be issued
in small amounts, thus afording an
opportunity for small manufacturing
firms to purchase some Of it. This is
done in order to promote more inter
est in the movement.

The Cubans will occupy the hills and

Sugar mills will be destroyed by both
sides, for Weyler will adopt Gomez

applied by the regulars and the insur-
gents alike, to everything which might
give aid and comfort to the enemy.
Everybody outside the military lines

spanish Merchants and Plant ers An
gered BY Decree.
NEW YORK, August 29.-Captain-
General Weyler's purported decree fer
bidding planters to make arv attempts
to save their incoming sugar, coffee,
cocoa and tobacco crops, and virtually
approving Gomez threat to paralyze
the agricultural and commercial inter-
ests of the island while the war con-
tinues, is creating big sensation and
a panic is threatened. 1t is rumored
this morning that Marquis Opeztegs,
president of the Spanish Conservative
party on the island and leading sugar
producer, was at the head of the COM
mittee of Spanish planters and mer-
chants which called at the palace yes
terday to protest. Captain-General
Weyler denied them a hearing.
Then, it is alleged, secret meeting
was held last night, at which it was
decided to send kilograms to Spain,
via Key West, today, demanding the
recall of General Weyler, and asking
that General Polaviaja be sent to sue
coed him.

JAPAN SWEPT AGAIN.
Another Big Earthquake With Typhoon
Accompaniment.

eAnoNhCI w III y piICOli
Accompaniment.
YOKOHAMA, September Much
alarm is felt here over a meagre report
of a great earthquake which occurred
in the northeast province of the main
island of Japan on Monday evening.
The town of Rukogo has been utterly
destroyed and several other towns Sc
verely damaged
Many persons are reported to have
been killed by the earthquake, and
still larger number injured, while a
multitude have suffered severe losses
by damage to property.
The provinces visited by the earth
quake are the same as those devas-
taed by the terrible earthquake and
tidal wave of June 18th last, when a
large number of towns were wiped out
and the estimated loss of life was
10000.
The provinces OF Eckuesan and
Rikuchu, along the coast from the
island of Jonkasan northward were
the principal sufferers today. The
recollection of the havoc to human life.
wrought by that CONFUSION causes
grave anxiety as to what further re-
ports may show of the results of Mon
days earthquake.
On the same day typhoon caused
extensive damage in Southern Japan,
a sandstorm, followed by thunder
storm, demolished hundreds of huts
and tents, destroying twelve miles of
the new railroad, and cut of telegraph
ic communication with the front for
several days.

Death of Prince LobanoT- Rostovski
While With the Gar.

Death of Prince Lobanoff- Rostovski
While With the Car.
LONDON, Aug. 31.-A dispatch to
the Telegraph from Kieff says that
Prince Lebanon Rostovski, Russian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, died sud-
denly while travelling from Vienna to
that place. Prince Lebanon Rostovski
was in the company of the Car at the
time of his death, and his demise was
wholly without warning.
The news of the death of Prince Lo-
banoff Rostovski, according to the dis
patch to the Telegraph, caused great
excitement throughout Russia, where
the personality of the Minister of For
eign Affairs was considered to be Sec
ond only to the Car himself. Prince
Lebanon Rostovski pursued strong
foreign policy, which was regarded in
some quarters as threatening the peace
of the world. Besides his political
work, the Prince devoted his leisure
hours to the study of and to the writing
of works on Russian history.
The tour which he had planned to
take with the Car through the coun-
tries of Western Europe was expected
to be most far reaching in results af-
fecting the settlement of the Eastern
question. Emperor Francis Joseph paid
Prince Lebanon Rostovski the highest
honors during the recent visit of the
Car to Vienna, and his death at the
present juncture is regarded as most
dramatic and important event, upset
ting as it does an possibilities of con-
ferences between the Foreign Ministers
of the great powers, and compelling the
Car to change the plans concerning
his tour through Germany, France and
England.

VETERANS IN ST. PAUL.
Big Parade on Third Day of Grand
Encampment.


Encampment.
ST. PAUL CMinn.), Sept 2.-Nearly
10000 veterans tramped the streets OF
ST. Paul for several hours today The
day was an ideal one for marching, the
sun being behind the clouds and a
light breeze making the air cool.
The enlivening music of many bands
and the stirring sound of veteran drum
corps signaled the approach OF each
new department and the crowd showed
prompt appreciation of the appearance
of favorites. Waves of applause went
up and down the crowded streets, and
at times the veterans themselves
cheered.
Opposite the residence of Colonel R.
NJ. Newport many white-haired veter-
ans uncovered and saluted as they rec
ognized Mrs. John A. Logan, who
gracefully returned every salute.
The parade has been in mind to such
an extent that the politics of the en-
campment must take back seat and

ILLUSION OR Not!
Upon Answer to This Depends Def
milton of Craze.
DR.. BlshOr Writes Upon Evils Ptrpetrated BY
Gold Bugs Gold Is Not
Sound MOuey

MR.. EDITOR wish to disclaim
the intention of charging you with i'm
putting immortality to the advocates OF
free coinage of silver, although such
imputation is usual one in Eastern
papers. Such a good and noble
Christian pastor as DIR. Cuyier recent
ly denounced the immortality of the
silver movement You will not, how
ever, expect me to be delighted with
your persisting in the use Of the term
silver craze
Whether the present active excite
ment of the people is craze" or not,
depends upon whether they are under
an illusion, or have only been awaken
ed to discern a real and great evil,
namely that of gold recommendation.
If that is really the source of the de-
moralization of business, they are just
fed in excitement and in earnestness
to put an end to the evil. The error
of the people. if such 1t be, should be
met by sound reasons in reputation,
and not by denuneiations of their
craze"
| desire also to offer objection to
your characterizing the other party as
the followers of sound money priu-
ciples. The contention of the silver
party is that gold money has become
thoroughly unsound, by reason of an
artificial and unnatural expansion OF
it's value, so that its purchasing power
has become double what 1t was before
silver was shut out nom its former
function as primary money, and gold
was given the monopoly of that func-
ton. They contend that silver is the
truly sound" money. because 1t has
not varied in its purchasing power,
and therefore ought to be reinstated
in it's former Office.
The silver movement is mighty
and determined protest against the
gigantic and gross iniquity by which
monopoly of money power was given to
gold. destroying one-half of the prim-
airy money of the world, in order to
endow the holders of bonded securities
with twice the real amount OF what
was owing them. 1t is less the wage
Gamers who feel this, than the farmers
whose wheat and butter and fruit are
worth only half what they formerly
were, while their mortgage and in
terest remain the same. These people
believe that they have discovered the
| fraud which has been practiced upon
them by the Goldites. and they propose
to vote so as to right it. Calling them
crazed will not be likely to lessen the
strength of their purpose. S. Z. b.

CHAMBERLAIN IN NEW YORK.

Fight.

He Says No One in England Wants to
Fight.
NEW YORK; Sept. Right Honor
able Joseph Chamberlain, British Sc
cretary of State for the Colonies, ar
rived here today. With him was Mrs.
Chamberlain, who is the daughter of
former Secretary of War Endicott of
Massachusetts. Chamberlain said he
came to visit Mr. and Mrs. Endicott at
Danvars, Mass. He expects to return
to England in fortnight.
Mr.. Chamberlain said his visit has
no official connection with the Vene-
zuelan matter except in so far as he is
interested in British Guiana as colo
ny. He said: THE idea that l came
to America to meet Secretary of State
Olney and to confer with him about
the Venezuelan matter or any other
public business is not so. Indeed,
have no appointment with Mr.. Olney.
My visit is purely personal and do
nestle affair"
Continuing, he said: 4 do not think
there is a man in Great Britain who
wants to fight. II would be terrible
calamity, much to be deplored. trust
the Venezuelan matter will be ami
cably adjusted. AS Mr.. Cleveland says
himself, the findings of the American
Commission are not binding, but we
should look for their report with as
much interest as You in the States,
and hope that it will shed such bright
light on the whole matter in dispute
that the affair can be readily and cas-
lily adjusted to the satisfaction of both
sides"
