Some Interesting facts regarding a great
change in agricultural production in Flor
ida have been given to the Chicago Record
in letter by Mr.. w. Z. Curtis. He writes
that the great freeze of 1895, which de-
stroyed orange groves TO the extent OF
between three and four million dollars.
was really blessing in disguise to the
State. II led perforce to change Of
productions and to the introduction of
new agricultural planting operations.
Florida farmers have gone extensively into
truck farming on the sites Of their wrecked
orange plantations, and some of them
have managed To profit al the rate Of
four or five hundred dollars per annum
at it. In the southern end OF the State
pineapple cultivation has grown to be
an important industry, producing an
nually about six thousand pineapples to
the acre, which sell for twenty five cents
apiece by the thousand. The Cuban war
has encouraged a wide expansion OF the
State tobacco area, and tobacco farmers
are flourshng. Altogether the material
conditions OF the State seem To indicate
"a happy revival.

secre tary sherman's Comments
on r reign Matters Resented
in England.
1T Was for the Same Privilege
That Mr.. Gladstone Apollo
gized to Austria.
''Senile Decay Is What London
Newspapers Allege as Mr..
Sherman's Malady.

s LONDON, Aug. 10. Commenting on
that portion Of the interview Of the
interview Of the New York World with
Secretary Sherman, which related to
the seal fisheries and the mining regions
the st. James Gazette says: Secretary
Sherman's utterances afford no material
for denial by his friends of the state
ment that he is suffering from senile
decay. But, after all, Mr.. Sherman
represents America and we are certain
all international courtesies will be OBJ
served
Continuing, the st. James Gazette
refers to the Kalnoky incident when it
says: .tAustria properly severed diplo-
matte relations with Great Britain and
M. Gladstone apologized for his attack
on the dual monarchy" and asks why
there is one law in Europe and another
in America.
In conclusion, The ST. James Gazette
repeats it's recent warning that this is a
dangerous line of policy to follow and
that some day Great Britain may call
upon Washington to back up its bluff
The Westminster Gazette, referring
to the same matter, remarks: '.The in.
terview is a frnity example OF. Sher-
mans saloon style" !
The Globe on this subject says: Sec
rotary Sherman had better rid himself
of the idea that Uncle Sam is going to
boss the show, either on the gold fields
or in the fisheries. We are not ready
to follow every quarrel with blows; but
when we strike we strike hard, and the
idea of our being afraid of third rate
naval power like the United States
could only have occurred to a lunatic or
to Mr.. Sherman. Judging from his
latest performances we may charitably
assume that the rumors that Mr.. Sher-
man is suffering from mental disturb
ances are correct. - =--
p The utterances attributed to Secre-
tary Sherman, upon which the COM
1uent Of the London papers is based,
were as follows:
"England is a great country, but it is
not always safe to assume that she is
ready to follow up every quarrel with
blows She quarrels oftener than she
fights. It would be exceedingly diff.
cult for her to fight us, all alone about
our seal catching. Russia and Japan
are in similar position, and any quar-
rel between the United States and Eng.
land on this score would, in all proba'
bility; involve those other two coun'
tries" So. .-..

HEARD AT WASHINGTON.

Belief General That Canovas' Assassina
ton Will Affect Political Affairs.
) WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Secretary OF
State Sherman said in regard to the as
sassination of Per1lier Canovas del
Castillo: ''This deplorable event will
have some effect, Of course, on the po-
itical affairs Of Spain, but to what ex-
tent I cannot say. The death Of one
man is not necessarily going to change
the sentiment of the whole country.
Spain is very tenacious country. Her
money is gone, her resources have been
exhausted, but she means, evidently, to
hold on to Cuba. Canovas was strong
factor in the government Of Spain, but
it is not impossible that another will be
found to replace him in that important
Office, having similar views and the
same pronounced ideas" T-.s -. X
Morgan Predicts a Republic.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, a men,
Der of the foreign affairs committee OF
the senate and the champion of Cuba in
that body, predicted in an interview
that the assassination might be the fore
runner of a complete change of gov
eminent, a republic replacing the mon.
archy. This, he thought, was the
present tendency and the assassination
he regarded as an evidence of disin-
tegration Of the Spanish government.
He added: e. =
.'This affair is going to create a CON-
plete revulsion. throughout the whole Of
Spain. That country is now in a very
shaky condition. # is true, doubtless,
that the assassin was an anarchist but
the act is representative Of a feeling that
exists all over the country. y -.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Colonel A.
A. Aguira, who is stopping in Washing
ton, says: 1.-THE assassination of Cano-
vas will result in the dethronement Of
the Spanish government and the free
dom Of Cuba. The people Of Spain are
ripe for revolution, being discontented
over the high taxation which grinds
them down to poverty, and in some
cases to starvation. This is the begin
ming of the revolutionary movement,
and is connected with the recent at
tempt on the life Of the queen.
..There is great dissatisfaction over the
result Of the war in Cuba and to remove
Canovas was the object of well laid
plans. am certain that Canovas will
be succeeded by Sagasta, his political
rival and the leader Of the Liberal
party. Sagasta will undoubtedly take
immediate steps to conciliate the Gu
bans by granting them reforms, but il
will be too late. I expect to see Cuba
free within SO days and the republic Of
Spain established soon afterwards.
