Why They Were Not Signed.

Mr.. William E. Curtis, writing to the
Chicago Record, scores congress for its
lack of judgment in sending the APP
preparation bills to President Cleveland
at the eleventh hour. Mr.. Curtis tells
why they were not signed by Mr..
Cleveland, and there is no doubt about
the accuracy of the reasons he ad-
vances. He says:
Congress might have known better
than to send these big bills to the
White House a few hours before ad-
journment and the end of the presi-
dents term. He has given plenty of
warning on this point and congress
should know by this time that he will
not take anything for granted. Until
Mr.. Cleveland came to the White
House the president was in the habit
of going to the capital on the last
night of the session and occupying a
room on the senate side, so that the
clerks could rush in bills for his sig
nature at the last moment But he has
refused to do that. He has repeatedly
informed the committees that bills re-
curing his signature must be brought
TO the White House in time for him
to give them a careful examination:
that he would not participate in any
legislative rush.
''Unmindful of these admonitions.
however, congress poured in upon him
during the last few days of the ses-
sion fifty or more bills, which he could
not have examined if he had been in
good health and had worked night End
day. The constitution allows the presi-
cent ten days to examine legislation,
nd Mr. Cleveland insisted upon hav-
ing his full time. Most of the bills
that were passed during the last week
of the session failed to become laws.
Very few of them were even examined,
but they referred to special legisial ion

An Earnest Appeal.

Up in Chicago the Record has been
talking to the voters about the benefits
and beauties of non-partisan NUM-
cipal government in a way that must
carry conviction to a good many wav-
ering ballot casters. The Record is
very much in lament, as the following
brief but meaty excerpt will show:
Chicago has been misgoverned for
many years by partisan mayors. sure
ly the citizens should avail themselves
of this opportunity to establish perma-
nently a business administration, re-
jecting national politics as something
with which such an administration can
have no concern.
The Record urges the voters of Chi
cage to put aside party at the coming
municipal election and think only CT
their interests as citizens. They will
never secure good local government,
good public service, fair taxation, rea-
sonable security for life, health and
property, until they turn their backs
on party bosses and elect an indie
pendent mayor having honesty, INTEL
ligence and courage"

Canea, March S.-It is learned here that
the schooner sunk by the Austrian war
snip Sebenico was landing stores when
she was approached by the warship. The
latter sent boats to intercept the schoon-
erS boats and forbid them to approach
nearer to the shore. There was a large
number of insurgents about the place
where the schooner intended to land her
cargo, and when they saw the boats from
the warship they OWNED what their in
tention was, and poured a lively fusiIade
IN their direction with rifles and cannon.
The boats, however. were out of range of
the guns on shore. and no one was hurt
Accounts differ as TO whether the schoon-
er fired or not but a maiority of them
concur in stating that she did.
AT any rate. the Sebenico quickly
trained her guns on the insurgents ashore
ard very quickly silenced their fire. At
the same time. other guns We're fired at
the schooner, which sank shortly there
after.
The Austrians are filed with the great
est resentment at what they term ne in
science of the Greeks in daring to fire
upon the Austrian flag.

| Athens, March 1S.-In the boule today
NJ. Skouzes, minister of foreign affairs,
announced that the foreign admirals in
| Cretan waters had issued a proclama-
ton stating that blockade of Crete
would begin at o'clock on the morning
of March 21-Sunday next. After that
time no Greek vessels would be allowed
to enter the ports of the island, and the
vessels of other nations desiring TO enter
must first obtain permission from the
admiralS.
The announcement was received calmly.

imposition of autonomy on the Cretans
will prove futile, and that the island will
ultimately fall to Greece.

are now in Athens. state that their
property has been destroyed by Moslems,
and that they will never return to the
island. They could never have the slight

proposed by the powers and believe that

will not prove effective against their
superior knowledge of the coasts of
Crete. They claim that they can and
will easily run the blockade and land
whatever cargoes they carry. The news
of the sinking of a Greek schooner by
an Austrian warship in Cretain waters,
caused the greatest excitement and in
dignation here, which was not tempered
by the informatio that the crew of the
vessels escaped. The newspapers voice
the opinion of the public when they de-
nounce the action of the warshio as
crime against civilization by the nations
who claim to lead the world in humanity.
The bitterest denunciation is heard on
every hand of all who had to do with
the sinking of the vessel.

An Important Discovery to Apple


The woolyaphis, or apple-root plant
louise, is believed to be doing more
damage to the apple orchards of south
Missouri than all other insect pests and
diseases combined. This pest has not
made its appearance in alarming num-
bers in the orchards of north Missouri,
but is troubling the nurseries to some
extent. The Missouri experiment sta
ton has made a large number of ex-
Deriments with different methods of
combating this insect, and has devised
cheap and efficient means for extermin-
ating it. The results of these studies
are published in bulletin No. So of the
station, by Professor J. NJ. Steadman.
These results may be briefly summar-
lied as follows:
The limb form of this insect can be
readily killed by one or two thorough
sprayings with strong kerosene emul
sion. Apple seedlings, buds and CRAFTS
should be planted in small trench,
filed with finely powered tobacco or
tobacco dust, and lightly covered with
earth. This will keep the wooly-aphiS
away Apple nursery stock should have
a liberal supply of tobacco dust ap-
piled to the roots every spring, in order
to kill the wooly-aphis and prevent it
from establishing itself there. 1t
should be applied by removing some of
the earth from around the roots, filing
the excavation with tobacco dust. and
lightly covering it with earth. Newly
cleared timber land should be Guilt
waited in corn or other crop for two
years before the apple trees are set out,
in order TO kill the wooly-aphis that
may be on the roots of the wild crab
and allied trees. Apple nursery stock
should have the roots cleaned and
dipped for a minute in strong kerosene
emulsion in order to kill the woody
aphis that may be there. Every spring,
as soon as settled warm weather APP
pears, each tree should have a liberal
supply of tobacco dust applied to its
roots by removing the earth from
around the trunk for distance Of two
feet and four inches in depth. evenly
filling this with the tobacco dust and
covering it with earth The root form
of the vooly-aphis may be cheapiy and
easily killed and kept away from the
apple tree by the liberal use of tobacco
dust. About five or six pounds of this
substance should be applied as above

and there were innumerable wagers of
smaller amounts
The odds were all along in favor of
Corbett, fiuctuating from S1a to 10 to
to 10.
E. B. Talcott of the Stock Exchange,
IL is said, is $4,000 out of pocket for the
confidence he had in Corbett, and a
combination of pugilistic enthusiasts of
the produce exchange dropped $4,000
1t IS estimated that 25, 900 people
packed themselves in City Hall park
TO get the returns. The people were
peaceable, but enthusiastic. AS the
rounds progressed partisans of the two
men gave fair imitation of election
night. When the bulletin, 'Fitzsim-
mons wins in the 14th," was posted,
the roars that greeted it could be
heard even on upper floors of the tall
office buildings. After giving vent to
its enthusiasm the crowd dispersed.

be applied in similar manner each
succeeding spring, costing approx
mately 2 cents per tree per year. This
insect may also be killed by injecting
one fluid ounce of carbon bi-sulphide
two feet away from the trunk on two
sides of the tree, but the use of this
substance is not advised except in ex-

may injure the tree, and it is always
necessary to Immediately treat the

ARBITRATION TREATY.
It Causes Quite a Heated Debate in
Executive Session.

Washington, March 1S.-Immediately
after the senate went into executive
session this afternoon Senator Davis
of the committee on foreign relations
submitted a report on the general
treaty of arbitration with Great Brit
ain with amendments made by the
committee. He offered a resolution
that the treaty as amended be rati-
fed, and this started the discussion.
Senator Morgan of Alabama took
the floor Immediately and began
vigorous speech against the ratification
of the convention. Mr.. Morgan spoke
also for his collea CUES on the commit
tee, Messrs. Mills and Daniel, but it
is probable that before the debate had
proceeded very far both of these men
will have something to say for them
selves

dispatch to the Sun from London says:
Greek ad-ices are all to the effect that

impression even in western Europe is
that nothing short of a great naval
demonstration and the threatened bonn
bardment of some important Greek town
will prevent an outbreak of hostilitieS
against Turkey. It IS difficult to believe
that the British government in any event
will participate in sanction such an
extreme measure.
