OPPOSES THE TREATY.

Tho treaty with Spain is likely to
have very rocky road to travel in
tho United States Senate. Several of
tho strongest Senators. have declared
against it among whom is Senator
Hoar Of Massachusetts. In q com.
munication to the Worcester Gazette
he positively declares himself as OPP
posed to the acquisition of the Phil
ippines by the United States. The
Senator says:
I'VE have not, 80 far, any news
which is absolutely trustworthy Of
what they are doing in Paris. But,
il the report is true, that it is pro-
posed to buy Of Spain the sovereignty
OF the Philippine Islands and to pay
S20,OO0,000 for it, I do not believe
that the treaty will be agreed to and
/ do not believe that it ought to be
agreed to. Spain had little sover-
eighty in the Philippines to sell and 1

sovereignty just now or that the Con-
stitution has conferred upon anybody
the right to buy such commodity.
The Constitution was framed upon
the theory that sovereignty is not
Saleable. The people of the United
States has conferred upon nobody
the power to make such purchases in
their behalf. We have acquired ter
ritory either vacant or 20 sparsely
settled that there were no people ca
pable of governing it, and no germ Of
national life. We have also in one
recent case acquired a territory
where the origina germ OF national
life had persisted. But neither Of
these precedents apply to tho Phil
ippine archipelago with its millions
Of inhabitants"

The su1tnn,a Throneroom.

The throneroom of the sultan, at
Constantinople, is a gorgeous sight.
The gliding is unequaled by any other
building in Europe, and from the cell
ing hangs a superb Venetian chande-
lier, the 200 lights Of which make a

each Of the four corners Of the room
tall candelabra in baccarat glass are
placed, and the throne is huge seat
covered with red velvet, and having
arms and back of pure gold. .-. .

why Locomotives are Numbered.

A prominent railroad man says that
the old custom of naming engines in
stead of numbering them was done
away with because there was such a
pressure brought to bear in favor OF
this, that and the other locality. The
various influences used became 30 an.
noyinR to the officials that they de-
clded to adopt the plan Of numbering
the locomotives, which was done. A
sim liar nuisance exists at Washing
ton in the Navy Department. Prob.
ably during the late war Secretary
Long was pestered more with people
who wanted vessels named in honor
Of somebody than he was with all the
other questions which came bel ore
him put together.

A Complete Cradle.

When Thomas A Edison's second
daughter was born his technical as
sistants ia the laboratory mt Orange
presented him with plans for cra-
die intended to save Mrs. Edison
much Of the worry and trouble usual
ly experienced by mothe rs, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Several other ideas were submitted
to the committee, but the thought OF
the wizard ambling up and down the
room in the dead of night, occasion
ally stepping on semi.submerged
tack, was too much for them, 80 the
cradle was decided on. 1t was call.

a telephone receiver. If the infant
should start crying, at the very first
wall communica ton was established
between the diaphragm and an cleo

cradle was set rocking by means Of a
small motor.
If the remonstrance continued be-
You'd a certain time the clock released

is called bell crank lever, CARRYING

the walls continued another arm ON
the opposite side swung over the
child's mouth with paregoric. At the
same time the electric current was
turned into a set Of magnets placed
around the cradle and any pin which
might be causing tho trouble would
be at once removed.
If the yclls continued the "thirty.

baby, wore slowly raised and the
child turned over. Then an electric

MINNEAPOLIS MINI, August fs.-
The Journal to-day prints the annual
crop estimate OF spring wheat for Min-
hesota ana the two Dakotas, made by
rs commercial editor, H. v. Jones.
Mr. Jones has for several years made
a PERSONAL inspection OF the situation
In all three states and has been fortu-
nate ,in approNinlat ting the quantity ana
quality OF the yield very closely.
He estimates the yield this year Tor
the three states at is0,00000O bushels,
as nFBtnst 1870 900, 900 bushels in 1881
This IL distributed as follows;
Minnesota yield, IS 100000; acreage o.
North Dakota Yield. ss,sOOoooi acreage
South Dakota yield. seoOoeoOi acreage
3,000.G00
Tot1i yield, 1S9. $780, 900; acreage, 1s,2oO,-
900.
The average yield per acre shows less
increase, however, than the total Yield
would indicate because Of an increase
OF acreage OF about 100000 acres.
There viii be some surprised. The
glowing reports to the trade for two
weeks win not be sustained with unan-
unity. There are weak places and the
crop cannot fairly be called bump
er" Yield, though the total yield Is well
up to 1858 famous record.
