Washington, June 9.-The senate, in
executive session today, recommitted
some of the nominations of officers OF
the authorized regiments of immunes,
and refused for the time being to pass
upon others. The action was preceded
by some sharp criticism of the circum-
stances that many northern men had
been nominated to command these
troops, which, it is expected, will be
enlisted in the south. The discussion
was precipitated by Senator Pettigrew
and participated in by several southern
senators. including Messrs Daniel, Ba-
con, Pasco and Money. The southern
men asserted that the regiments could
not be recruited if their officers We're
not known to them, and Senator Petit
grew declared that if senators were not
too much influenced by the hope of a
little patronage they would defeat the
nominations.

IN THE HOLY LAND
An Alleged Scandalous Sale of a
Cemetery

LONDON, March Truth today, as
sequel to the request made that it's editor
take steps to expose an alleged scandal
in regard to the sale of the American
cemetery at Jerusalem by the American
board of foreign missions, says:
The American missionaries and the
consul were represented the bodies were
reverently eXhumed and We're removed,
but the action of Lord Salisbury in having
the pit in the English cemetery in which
they were reburied opened in order to re-
cover the remains of an English officer led
to the ghastly discovery that all the bod
les had been broken up and packed in
small wooden boxes, so that neither the
body of the officer nor any other body
could be identified. Both the sale of the
cemetery and the removal of the corpses
appear to have been carried out in an ex-
tremely disgraceful manner
The sale of the American cemetery at
Jerusalem Is said to have been made in Or
der to replenish the funds of the American
Presbyterian board of foreign missions,
and secrecy, it is added, was observed be-
cause the same was contrary to Turkish
law.
Friends OF Englishmen whose bodies had
been buried there are said to have pro-
tested to the state department at Washing
ton, to the United States minister at Con-
stantinople and to the British foreign Of
flee.
Eventually, it is added, they asked Truth
to investigate the matter, as they had been
unable to obtain redress.

A NEW DISEASE
Which Threatens to Destroy the Olive
Tree

BERKELEY, Cal. March 1.-The olive
knot, a disease which has long made
havoc with the olive orchards of the
Mediterranean, has made it's appear
ance in California, in the orchard of A.
r. Gurr, near Merced, and the local
horticultural commission will resort to
stringent measures, either by uprooting
the orchard or effectually quarantining
it, to prevent it from spreading its
ravages after the manner of phylloxera
and the San Jose scale. F. 7. Bioletti of
the agricultural department of the Uni
versity, has just returned from the af-
tiicted orchard, of which ne made very
careful examination. The symptoms Of
the disease are woody eXcrescences up
on the sap bark of the limbs and small
knots on the leaves and twigs. At first
the orchard produces heavily but the
fruit is of poor quality and soon spoils
in picking. The overbearing of the
trees soon causes them to weaken and
grow sickly and finally die.
The olive knot is a bacterial disease,
and the similarity of the bacillus oleae,
which causes it, to the bacillus tubercu-
losis, causes the disease often to be
enormously called plant tuberculosis.
Fortunately the Gurr orchard is quite
isolated and Mr.. Bioletti anticipates no
immediate danger from the spread of
the disease.
