Frozen Lamb for London.

Some Is years ago the flock owners OF
Australia, finding that there was fair
market in England for canned mutton,
determined to try the experiment of ex-
porting the fresh-killed meat in a
frozen state. Sheep which had been
bred with view to producing wool
rather than for table use, did not at
first find favor with the public, besides
which an occasional breakdown in
the refrigerating machinery often rem
dered the experiment an expensive one
for the shipper. New Zealand sheep
were found to be of a much better
quality, and by degrees difficulties were
surmounted and prejudices overcome
until New Zealand mutton has become
as common an object in London meat
markets as the homegrown article.
Owing to the difference in the seasons
on the other side of the equator, lambs
are ready for export about Christmas
time, 30 that they can be placed on
the London market earlier in the season
than those raised at home. The car
casses are first cooled and then slightly
frozen on shore; they are then trans
ferred to dry chamber on board ship,
where the temperature is steadily main
tanned at few degrees below freezing.
On their arrival in port they are
again transferred to a cold-storage
chamber and kept there until wanted.

II Benjamin Franklin, one of the
wisest Of men, could have foreseen the
difficulties and complications that have
grown out Of his famous bequest to the
city OF Boston of IS, 900. more than 100
years ago, he would probably have can

made its provisions very different, re-

has been invested mainly ~ he direct

municipal authorities and the trustees
are at loggerheads as to their respec-
tive powers, and also as TO the method
OF Its expenditure, and as last resort
the matter has been carried to the
courts. An application Is to be made to
the supreme court OF Massachusetts to
decide who has authority under the will
to expend the money in one Of the sew

is one Of the most remarkable legacies
ever made, and the benevolent intent
is plain enough, though perhaps not ex-
pressed in sufficiently definite terms.

BURNED AT SEA.
A story Of Marine Disaster or the bar.
BADGES Coast.

story OF Marine bieasteF Ou tne Bar
badoes Coast.
New York, July s. Seventeen ship
wrecked sailors who just arrived here
on the Prince line steamship Sandman
Prince, from South America and West
India ports, tell of battle with that
most dreaded of all enemies at sea,
fire. The men embarked at Barbados,
having been forwarded from there by
the American consul. They belonged to
the American ship Belle of Bath, which
was burned at sea on June IS, about
150 miles eastward Of Barbados. Their
trip was one which they are never
likely to forget.
The Belle of Bath left this port
June 2, clearing for Hong Kong with
cargo of case oil. All went well until
June 8, when the first weeks journey
was at an end. The ship was sailing
along in fairly good weather, when sud-
denly it sprung leak. Captain Curtis
ordered all hands to the pumps prompt
ly. The water gained upon them
steadily. and every moment it looked
as if the vessel would go to the bottom.
After "a hours of constant work the
water was reduced in the hold, but the
leak could not be stopped, and the crew
worked in relays for nine days pumping
the water out.
When the men were almost exhausted
ON Friday afternoon and some of them
were on the verge of collapse the cry of
fire" rang through the ship. First
Mate Cod detected little clouds of smoke
coming from the forecastle, and quickly
sounded the alarm. Captain Curtis,
who was below, snatching few min
utes' sleep, sprang on deck and ordered
the matches closed down. In few
minutes dense clouds of smoke were is
suing from the forecastle, accompanied
by flames. The fire was shooting high
in the air, and famed by breeze, was
threatening the whole ship.
Captain Curtis realized at once that
his ship VISA doomed, and that to en-
deavor to fight the fire would be useless
and dangerous. Boats were hastily pro-
visioned. The order was given by the
captain to lower them at once. With,
marvellous rapidity the flames spread
all over the ship, and the men were
forced to make haste to get into the
boats. The boats dropped away to lee
ward, and the men were put to the
oars and rowed away to a safe distance.
By this time the ship was blazing
furnace. The flames had reached the
oil and burst out from every part Of the
vessel. When the flames had eaten
their way into the hold tremendous
explosion was heard. The decks of the
ship few up and the sides burst, and a
great body of smoke and fame filled
the air. 1t took perhaps half an hour
to finish the work. When the smoke
died away the men in the yawl could
see the Belle of Bath had been burned
to the waters edge.
A heavy sea was running, and with
every sweep of the oars the little life
boat was in imminent danger of being
swamped. Under light canvas 100
miles were made, and after "a hours
struggling in the rough waters, land
was sighted. 1t was early Sunday
morning. and the crew uttered a prayer
for their escape.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkin. 3 Company. Review
of Trade.

= Outside OF some little manipulation
OF July options, markets were dull and
fairly steady last week. Spring wheat
in the Northwest is above the average,
both as TO quality and acreage sown.
The whole Southwest from Kansas City
to Galveston is feeling elated over the
crop of winter wheat. The Kansas
hard wheat is of fine quality. Texas
has Dig crop.
Proctor Taylor, the well-known mil
ler OF Quincy, ILL.,, and member of the
Chicago board of trade, has just re-
turned from trip to Oklahoma, where
he has been to see for himself about
the likelihood of getting quantity of
soft red wheat for his mill. The result
OF his inquiries and observations on the
spot was, in his opinion, that Oklaho-
ma would raise between 10000, 900
and $4,000, 900 bushels OF excellent
quality wheat unless his information is
largely astray on acreage. He saw a
field threshed that yielded 4S bushels to
the acre, and returns of S5 and SS
bushels were quite frequent. His OBJ
servation was confined to the line of the
Santa Fe Railroad, an he said only the
best farmers-those having threshine
facilities of their own - had yet
threshed their wheat, but withal he
came to the above conclusion as to the
total yield.
The Minneapolis Market Record oi
June 2S says: The prospect for wheat
in the Northwest is not impaired dur
ing the past week. The growth is very
heavy and the head is forming. BY
opening the straw it is found that the
heads are OF unusual length. There is
nothing now in sight to prevent large
yield 1t is to be borne in mind that
there is yet time for many accidents.
II no accident happens to it there
ought to be more than 100000, 900
bushels harvested in Minnesota and
the Dakotas. Allowing so, 900, 900 foI
the other spring states and about 80,
900, 900 OF winter wheat, which is now
practically assured, and the outlook il
for crop for this country OF $40, 900,
900 bushels of wheat. The question Of
price is also promising, for with the
small stocks to be carried forward, in
all countries, the new crop will &c
more quickly into consumption and
leave small surplus to be carried over
to inOther crop.

A GIFT BY THE STATE.
Silver Service Presented to the Battle
ship Oregon.

Silver Service Presented TO the Battle
ship Oregon.
Portland, Or, July 8.--The magnifi-
cent silver service secured by the cit
izens of the state, as testimonial to
the battle-ship Oregon, was formally
presented by Governor Lord, on behalf
of the people, to Captain Albert G.
Barker, commanding the Dattle-ship
and representing the officers and crew
Of the Oregon, yesterday afternoon at
the Armory.
The silver service was conspicuously
displayed on large table, resting amid
the folds of an American flag All the
naval and military officers we're in full
uniform.
A conspicuous feature of the cere-
mony was the presence Of 200 sailors,
taken from the crews OF the two moni-
tors, now Lying in the harbor. They
were clad in their summer dress suits
of spotless white, and presented an ex-
ceedingly attractive appearance.
The battalion of sailors was drawn
up in line on the west side Of the inn
mense drill-room of the Armory, and,
as Governor Lord, with the committee
and naval and army officers, came in at
the main entrance, the shrill piping of
whistle brought the line to present,
while the distinguished visitors and
others marched in the center of the
hall.
The presentation was made by Gov
ernor VIM. p Lord. The response was
by Captain Albert c. Barker, COM
manding the battle-ship Oregon. When
he had finished his address, accepting
the testimonial, he was loudly APP
plauded, and moment after the pre-
sentation ceremonies came to close
with three rousing cheers for Oregon
and the flag. Immediately after the
floor was cleared of tables and chairs,
the silver service carefully cared for,
and the announcement made that the
battalion of sailors would give an ex-
hibition drill. This proved to be a
great feature. The precision with
which the men responded to trumpet
orders astonished the spectators, and at
the close of each evolution the sailors
were heartily applauded. Some of the
movements were exceedingly graceful,
particularly the calisthenic exercise
with guns, and the admirable perform
ance was watched with the closest at
tention.
