FARMING IN ALASKA.
The Agricultural Department Pro-
poses Experiments

Washington, July 2S-Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson believes that con-
gress al it's next session will authorize
the esta ablishment of an agricultural
experiment station in Alaska. He said
today that he had no doubt the people
in some parts of Alaska would be able
to produce their own vegeta bles and
to some extent the cereals they
will need.
The hardy class of animals, he said
also could be grown there. Cattle from
the mountains in Scotland, he believed,
could be raised successfully in Alaska
but so far as is known now the mining
regions in the vicinity of the headwa-
ters of the Yukon river are about ], 900
miles away from any part of Alaska in
which agriculture could be successfully
pursued.

FIVE TONS OF SHELLS
Brought Into Port by Smithsonian
Institute Expedition.

San Diego, July 2S.-The schooner Wah1-
berg, which sailed from this port on
March 8, on a scientific expedition for the
Smithsonian institute and Stanford uni
versfty, arrived here today. The Wahl-
berg brings back five tons of rare deep
sea shells, four barrels of deep sea fish
and many beautiful marien speciments.
On her return trip up the coast, the
Wahlberg stopped at Natividad where
where she found four San Diegoans who
had been left at Cedros island by the junk
Hong Kong, eight months before and had
been taken to Natividad by a schooner,
with the expectations of returning by an
other schooner to San Diego. The men
were nearly famished for want of water
and the timely arrival of the Wahlberg
probably saved their lives. They are ex-
Sergeant Sanford, Private Corners of
company H, U. S. A, Jack Dampier and

MRS. STOWE DIED POOR.
Children of the Great Novelist in Sore
Straits for the Necessaries of Life
The Family Homestead to
Be SOLD.

Hartford, Conn, July 2s.-Everyo one
will be surprised to learn that Mrs. Har-
riet Beecher Stowe died almost penni-
less, and that her homestead is now Of
fered for sale.
The statement by Mrs. Isabella
Beecher Hooker, herself a famous writ
er, is made public in letter that will
appear tomorrow.
The twin daughters of the distin-
guished writer and philanthropist are in
actual need.
1t has been proposed that a monu-
ment should be erected to the memory
of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, but it
is not question of monuments, it is
a question of bread and butter for her
children.
The daughters of Mrs Stowe have
themselves. made no appeal for aid.
They are ignorant of the fact that 9TH
ers are making such an appeal in their
behalf. On the same block on which
stands the home in which lived for
so many years Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe, stands also the home of Mark
Twain. On its roof there have also
fallen the shadows of evil fortune, but
life and will and vigor still remain with
him, and it is hoped that kindly hu-
mor's smiles may yet Danish the frowns
that darken it's deserted threshold.

SILVER A DRUG.
Nobody Wants Any More of it and
the Frice Con tinues to Decline.

the Er1ce Con tlnueS TO O6c41ne.
New York, July 2S.-Silver was low
er yesterday than ever before. Until
the decline of recent date the lowest
prices were those of March and 8,
1894 at the time of the closing of the
Indian mints. The opening quotations
yesterday were: Bar silver 5s1h; Mex
clan dollars 45B and the closing was
58A and 45&4 respectively. The local
dealers can assign no other reason than
lack of demand. There being no spec
ial orders for silver for any European
country for mintage and India not be-
ing in the market, they regard the fall
as natural
The Evening Posts financial cable
gram had the following:
1.-The fall in silver is exciting much
interest. The impulse seems to come
mainly from American selling, but the
fatness of Chinese exchange exceeds
the extent warranted by the fall in sill
yer. 1t is believed heavy interest pay
ments by China abroad partly accounts
for it. 1 understand that negotiations
are proceeding for a further issue of the
Chinese loan of 10000, 900 pounds, but
apparently nothing definite is done

HOW WE SCARED THEM.
The Moors are Now Ready to Do
Anything Demanded of Them

Tangier, July 28.-The United States
cruiser Raleigh returned here this
morning. Consul General Burke re-
ports that he has been received every
where along the coast with marked re-
spect. He has not yet received an
answer from the sultan to the demands
made upon him growing out of the re
cent irritating attitude of the natives
towards American citizens, but the re-
ply is expected daily and it is under
stood that the government will make
all the concessions asked.
The demonstration made by the Ra-
leigh has evidently had the desired eff
feet, and the MOors will hereafter show
more consideration for the persons and
property of Americans in Morocco.
