committee and d. H. Patterson of New

The question of representation at the
convention, winch was the most important
topic discussed, was not decided on account
OF the absence of ex-senator Jacob Worth
OF Brooklyn. The discussion of this oues-
ton proceeded on the basis of the renre-
sentat1on at the last state convention. An
eHort was made to induce Mr. Lauterbach

WHITNEY FOR PEACEMAKER,
Report That He VIII Try to Reunite
New YOrk's Democracy.

A New York special to the Baltimore
American says: Ex-Secretary Whitney
has postponed his intended trip abroad for
the summer, and 1t is now announced that
he Is to bend his energies toward bringing
the two democratic factions in the city
into harmonious relations. and put the
democracy of the state into something like
fighting condition. According to one story,
he is to act as the general adviser of the
party, as Samuel j. Tilden did once, sue
ceeding ex-senator Hill, under whose lead
ership the control of the state has passed
from democratic hands.
Mr.. Whitney Is about the only member of
the cleveland regime whom Tammany
would follow, and, while the ex-Secretary
has been an advocate of sound money, he
Is not distasteful to the few silver shouters
In Tammany Hall. The coming visit of ex-
Candidate Bryan to New York and the an
nouncement that he will spout for l6 to 1.
nils the local democrats with dire appre.
tensions. 1t is believed that such a speech
OF Mr.. Bryan at the opening of the cam
paign for mayor Of New York will destroy
any chances that Tammany has for oh
tanning control of the enlarged city, and
make the triumph of the Republicans and
good government advocates certain.

TO REGAIN A LOST MARKET.
Secretary Wilson to Take Steps In the
Interest of Cheesemakers.

Secretary Wilson to Take Steps In the
Interest of Cheesemakers.
Secretary Wilson Of the Department Of
Agriculture has taken steps looking to the
enforcement of the law against the exporta-
ton of filed cheese, except when plainly
labeled as such. Representative WILDER
called on Mr.. Wilson in company with a
merchant from Liverpool, who had been
imposed upon by American exporters Oh
filled cheese as pure article. The Liver
pool merchant brought with him proof Of
the fraud that has been perpetrated. Mr.
Wilson at once conferred with Secretary
Gage, who promised to see that the inter-
nal revenue officers take active measures to
prosecute those who export filed cheese
as cheese and in that way largely destroy
the foreign market for the dairy products
of America.
The fraud has done an enormous injury
to the American export trade, and is re-
garded as a very important matter at the
Department of Agriculture. 1t has been
largely instrumental in reducing American
exports of cheese from $1,676,657 in value
in 1892 to s., 091 ,914 in 1896, each year since
1892 witnessing a reduction of exports of
this character. The united kingdom has
heen the largest consumer of cheese from
this country, taking this product to the
value of Sc, 491 ,312 in 1892, while last year
1t bought but 81, 491 OSS worth of cheese
from the United States.
Inc tIngliSh dealers Tor Sone time after
the introduction of filled cheese on the mar
ket could not tell 1t from the real article
and merchants discovered that they had
been hrmbugged only by having the cheese
spoil on their hands. Then they gave it the
lame of imitation cheese, but year by
year the American cheese product has gone
down in reputation through the frauds ell
acted by the dealers in filled cheese.
While the expectations Of cheese from the
United States to the united kingdom have
diminished yearly, those from Canada to
the united kingdom have increa sed, until
last year, when the total exports of this
kind amounted in value to S13924672, or
five times as much as the product shipped
from the United States
AS no country can produce more or better
cheese than the United States, Secretary
wilson believes that by rigid enforcement
OF the law in respect to filled cheese the
American product will stand nigh in for
elgn markets, and exports will be greatly
increased. The experiment stations of the
Department of Agriculture have for some
time been investigating methods for the
production of cheese and 1t Is claimed that
no place In the world produces cheese on
such scientific principles as in the United
States. and nowhere can finer product
be secured. The Treasury Department win
at once begin a prosecution of violators of
the filled cheese law.

end of the lake was covered for nearly a

A Picturesque Menace.
It Is this unique problem which Florida
is trying to solve. These beautiful fields
Of blue flowers resting on their base of
glossy green make portions Of the st.
johns picturesque in the extreme, but the
Florida riverman sees in it only menace
to his calling. Thousands of dollars will
have to be expended In the effor1. to exter-
inmate the hyacinth, and even then the re-
suit is doubtful. In South America, it's
home, the plant in places covers many
square miles, entirely blocking navigation,
and it Is related that tramp steamers have
fsred badly when caught In this Sargossa
sea.
Suggestions for its destruction there are
In plenty; the question is whether they will
succeed. Those who have studied the stu
alton, including Professor Weber and 9TH
er. botanists, seem inclined to believe that
no mechanical means will achieve the de-
sired end. A propositions OF this character
comes from the War Department. One of
the engineers suggests the construction Of
light-draft vessel, driven by stern wheel
and having a double bow or outrigger,
which. being forced into the plant mass,
would cause them to gather toward the
middle of the boat, where an inclined car
rter would gather them up and deposit
them IN front of rollers driven by ma
chinery, which would force the water from
them, thus greatly reducing their bulk.
The material could then be delivered into
barges alongside and deposited ashore or
crenlated. Various other means have been
suggested, but none Of them seem to give
promise of doing what is desired. The aya-
cinth is good cattle food, and it is sug-
gested that this may help to solve the dim
Guilty.
Professor Weber, while in Florida. set
himself to work to find natural enemy of
tne hyacinth. After a long search he dis
covered leaf disease, which is widely dis
tr1buted, and he thinks damages the plant
considerably. This disease is caused bv a
PARASITIC fungus, which attacks the leaf in
Spots and ultimately destroys 1t entirely

OF the plant for some more formidable dis

senators laughing.
