SMALL ECONOMIES.

Cold mutton may be transferred into
hash on toast with tomato sauce, seal
loped mutton or macaroni timbale.
Cold roasted or boiled fowl can be
made into croquettes, salads and en-
trees. Tough ends of steak are good
when made into Hamburg steak. All
fat from meats can be clarified and
kept for frying. Doughnuts and frit-
ters are much better fried in drippings
than in lard,
Save every scrap of meat, for it is
meat which makes the monthly bills
mount up. Into the stock pot go tough
ends from rib roasts, fat ends from mutt
tcc chops, bones from sirloin steaks
and from all fowl. The so-called in
ferior pieces make the best soups and
stews. Soup meat may be seasoned and
made into pressed meat for luncheon.
The broken pieces and crusts of bread
not fit for toast may be put into pan
and dried, not Drowned, in cool oven.
When thoroughly dry roll them on an
old breadboard, sift through coarse
sieve, put them into glass jar or tin
box and stand them aside for breading
croquettes, outlets or oysters. This will
save the purchase of cracker crumbs.
A tablespoonful of stewed tomatoes
left from dinner will add to the roasted
beef gravy the next day; single raw
tomato may be peeled and put into
garniture for the cold meat. A half cup
of peas may be added to the breakfast
omelet. Water in which vegetables have
been boiled should be saved for soups.
All cold mashed potatoes should be
saved for crouuettes

a SHAMEFUL REVELATION.
All but One of the Governments WOodeh

all but One of the Governments WoOden
Docks In a Disabled Condition.
NEw YORK, Oct. IA special meet
ing of the naval dock board was held
yesterday at the Brooklyn navy YARD
to consider the reports as to the dis
abled condition of all but one of the
timber structures owned by the gov
ernment. A complete examination has
revealed the above startling informa-
ton, and the only exception is the tim
ber dock on Puget Sound. AS the tim
ber docks practically do all the work
of the navy, the stone structures being
used for the smaller vessels, the de.
partment regards the existing condi-
tion with considerable apprehension,
and it will be the duty of the dock
board to report on the subject.
None of the members of the board
would talk for publication, but it is
understood that an estimate of the
coast of repairs, together with the
recommendation to proceed at once
with the work, will be forwarded to
the department.
Commodore Bunce, the commandant
of the station, is president of the board
Engineers have estimated that it will
cost at least $500, 900 to put the timber
docks in condition, and the dock board
is expected to recommend that this
money be spent on the structures at
New York, League Island, Norfolk and
Port Royal. There is a separate ap-
preparation for dock No. at the

celve ConslderatIon-DetaIls of the Gov

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The first meet
ing of the cabinet since the return of
the president from Massachusetts, was
held yesterday, and was attended by
every member, except Secretary Gage,
who Is not in Washington. The meet
ing lasted longer than usual, in expla-
nation of which fact it was said that
several of the cabinet members were
present for the first time in many
weeks, and naturally they sought the
opportunity to inform themselves fully
upon the condition of affairs.
Foreign affairs occupied the greater
portion of the time given up to discus
sion, though the prosecution of the
governments case against the Union
Pacific railroad also came in for a
good deal of consideration. Indeed, it
is said, that the only action of the
cabinet yesterday was in the direction
of closing up this issue, and it can be
stated that the details of the plans of
the government have been arranged.
The Spanish cabinet crisis attracted
much attention, and was discussed at
some length.
1t may be said that there seems to be
general belief among the members
of the presidents official family that
5he Madrid crisis, if not making for our
good cannot be expected to injure us
with Spain. This belief is based upon
the idea that if conservative cabinet
succeeds to the Azcarraga ministry,
the worst that can happen will be a
continuation of the present line of
policy, for Spain is to near an end of
her financial resources to put forth
more strenuous efforts to subdue' the
Cubans. On the other hand, it Is be-
lieved that liberal ministry will al
most certainly offer good opportunity
for bringing the present war to an end.
The conditions in Hawaii, as revealed
by Admiral Beardslee, was talked of,
and with evident satisfaction the cab
met received the admirars statement
that in all his stay in Hawaiian waters
his relations with theJapanese officials,
on shore and on the cruiser Naniwa,
were of the most pleasant nature. In
no case had there been the slightest ex-
hibition of a purpose on the part of
the Japanese commander to attempt
any coup, and there were constant ex-
changes of visits between the officers
of the Naniwa and of the United States
war ships while the admiral was in
port.

UNDER THE LAW
The Agricultural Department Must Make
a Blind Deal in Seeds.


q Blind Deal in Seeds.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The agricul-
tural department has been compelled
to forego it's decision to distribute this
years seeds from Washington, because
of decision by Comptroller Tracewell
of the treasury that such distribution
would be a violation of the law under
which the appropriation was made.
This decision was rendered yesterday
in response to letter from Secret tary
Wilson.
In his reply Mr.. Traceweu says that
the appropriation for last year was in
the same language as that for the pres
ent fiscal year, excepting as to the
amount appropriated, and he calls at
tention to the fact that Attorney
General Harmon rendered decision
to the effect that the appropriation OF
last year authorized the secretary of ag.
riculture to purchase seeds already put
up in packages and labeled for distri-
button. Mr.. Tracewen holds, in view
of this decision, that while the secre-
tary can determine the form in which
the contractors must purchase seeds,
he cannot purchase the seeds and en-
plOy persons TO put Gnem up or COLI
tract with some one to do the work.
1T must not be forgotten" he adds,
''that congress had used the very
plainest language in providing $1So, 900
for the purchase and distribution of
seeds, bulbs, etc, and has attached to
the appropriation the specific require
ment that not less than $4,000 shall
be used in the purchase of valuable
seeds. Congress thus fixed a minimum
amount and did not manifest an inten-
tion that discretion should be ex-
ercised by the secretary of agriculture.
The whole act is mandatory in form
and the use of one-half of this sum in
payment for personal services in dis
tributing seeds would not be a compli-
ance with the specific order of con-
gress."
''The head of a department." the
comptroller adds, Ordinarily has some
discretion in the use of appropriations
for his department. The appropria-
ton for seeds seems to be drawn for
the very purpose of preventing a con-
struction which would admit of the
exercise of any discretion"

GREEM-AND FOR AMERICA.

Rumors that the Government is Making
oVertures for Acquiring the Island.
LONDON, Sept. 3O.-There is a rumor
in Canadian circles that the govern
ment of the United States has made
aovertureS to the government of Dem
mark with the object of acquiring
Greenland from the latter country.
The Evening News gives prominence
to the rumor and says: Under ordi-
mary circumstances, even if true, the
report would excite little interest, but
coupled with the news of the hoisting
of the Union Jack over Baffin's Land,
1T becomes of great moment. It ap-
pears that Baffin's Land was never
formally acquired by the English, al.
though it has been regarded as English
for half a century. Hudson's
Strait is destined to become part,
in the future, of great grain
carrying route between Liverpool and
Winnipeg, which will be a powerful
rival of the American land routes.
The Americans have no port or foot.
ing on the eastern shores of the con-
tinent north of Maine, and if they are
TO participate in the advantages of the
Hudson Bay route it has been appar-
emily urged that their government Sc
cure some island or peninsula without
delay"
The Evening News adds to this COM
ment an interview with an unnamed
Canadian official, to the effect that the
hOiSting of the Union Jack over Baf.
fms Land was undoubtedly evoked uy
the report that the United States gov
~ernment had its eye upon that terri.
tory. According to the official quoted,
there is nothing to prevent the United
states purchasing Greenland from Dem
mark.
In conclusion, the Evening News re-
marks:
''If the Americans acquire Green
land there will be difficulties ahead
for our transatlantic commerce and
international relations. If they have
not acquired it already, what is to pre-.
vent our acquiring it?"

Created During the Session of the Church
Congress In England.
NOTTINGHAM, Sept. %O.-There was a
sensation here yesterday during the
session of the Church congress. In
discussing the progress of Life and
Thought of the Church of England in
the Victorian Era" the debate assumed
n dramatic turn by the appearance of
Father Ignatius, the famous monk
of Lianthony abbey, which he
founded. In an impassioned speech,
FatherIgnatiusd declared that the school
represented in the present congress by
the dean of Ripon and the archdeaeon
of Manchester, was treating creeds as
illusions, denying Christ and taking
away God. Thus" he continued,
twas the very raison d'etre of mission
RrV work destroyed, and" he ex-
claimed, I'VE are on the fringe of a
great apostacy."
The speaker was not interrupted,
and several times he was warmly
cheered.

Are the Nicaragua Canal COmpany's Rishta
Interfered With?
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The state de-
partment recently received a report
from Consul O'Hara in Nicaragua, Civ
ing brief details of the concession
granted to the British company, and
stating that it embraced various ex-
elusive privileges in the Silicon lagoon
the San Juan river and Lake Nicaragua.
Since then additional information
has become available as to the plans
of the Atlas company. The lagoon is
said to be off the route of the canal.
and there appears to be no reason why
this should not pass into the exclusive
control of a British company. The
excavations, beginning at Greytown
and running west, unite with the San
Juan river, which, in turn, leads to
Lake Nicaragua, after which the arti-
fetal cut is continued to the Pacific.
Under these circumstances it is said
that exclusive privileges of navigation
in these two waterways, for the next
so years, would, in effect, limit the
navigation of the Nicaragua canal
Whether the concession makes an ex.
ception in this regard is not known, as
the reports, including that of Consul
OHara to the state department, merely
state that the concession is an exclu.
sive one.
An official familiar with Nicaragua
canal affairs said yesterday that the
concession would have to be construed
as subsequent to that of the canal COM
pany and the latter's rights in the San
Juan river and Lake Nicaragua, he be-
lieved, would be fully recognized by
Nicaragua. But the danger, he added,
was that when the American COM
pany's concession expired two years
hence, then the British corporation
would succeed under the terms of the
recent concession to all exclusive rights
of navigation in these two links of the
canal. For this reason it was believed
that the government or the canal COM
pany would take steps to learn def
nitely if this exclusive privilege ex.
tended to the privilege of navigating
the lake and rivers when they became
part of the inter-oceanic canal.
Secretary Long has decided to send
the Newport, now at Boston, with the
commission. The commission will sail
about the middle OF November, and
