Cucumbers.

To grow cucumbers successfully
thorough manuring and cultivating are
necessary. In the early spring the
growers of cucumbers for the market
use immense quantities of manure to
force the growth. The seed should be
sown In moist ground, not In the dry
soil just at top of the hill. The moist
soil will assist the termination. The
more common way is to make large
hills and put good lot Of manure in
the bottom, even If the whole ground
has been previously worked over with
manure. The manure in the hill should
be deep enough and there should be
enough dirt above it to prevent the ten
der roots coming into contact with It.
To keep off the bugs till the plants are
large enough to take care of themselves
is always somewhat of a problem.
There are various remedies given. But
one of the most satisfactory methods
is to have some light muslin cloth with
which to cover the hills till the plants
get number of coarse leaves. These
cloths are stretched over a frame and
the ends covered with the soil. Most OF
the insects feed on the tender leaves
and are not particularly interested In
the coarser leaves that come later

Other paymasters have since been disaptched to Porto Rico to pay the troops that remained there.

Little Rock, Ark, September l.-fhe name of Judge U. M. Rose, of Little Rock' which was under consideration by Presl- dent Mckinley for place on the peace commission, which will go to Paris to arrange the details Of peace between the United States ana this fact himself, but letter has been re- ceived in this city from the presidents pri- vate secretary stating that Judge Rose name has been presented to the president for consideration in the makeup of the commission.
 This letter was in answer to one written by strong friends of Judge Rose suggest ing the eminent fitness of the latter TOT the honor if he would accept it. The writer stated that he did not know how Judge Rose stood on territorial expansion or ac- quisition, but he did know that there was not a man mentioned for the commission who was better equipped. This letter dld not reach Washington until the. president had practically decided on the personnel Of the commission. Since then, however, 1t has seemed probable that one of the com sioners named, Justice White, will decline to serve, in which event Judge Rose s friends believe he will receive the appoint ment. Judge Rose speaks French and Ger man fuently. He has a national reputation as a lawyer and scholar

To Open Recruiting ofices

Washington, September 1.-In order to keep the regular army up to the maximum of 1000 men, the war department will have the recruiting officers at all stations where volunteers are mustered out, with view of giving the men an opportunity to enlist in the service The time which they have served in the volunteer service will allow them as a part of the continuous service in the regular branch. It is estimated that the regular army Is some 4,O0O or 5000 short by the maximum of the bill, which allows an increase of the regular army when the war begun.

WORK OF TRAMPS.
Chicago Limited Wrecked and Three

Syracuse, N. r., September LA special to the Herald from Fulton says:
 Train No. on the New York. Ontario and Western railroad, known as the Chi cago limited, was wrecked at Ingalrs Crossing, four miles south of this village at o'clock this morning. The wreck was doubtless due. to the dastardly work of tramps, who threw open the switch at which the train was wrecked, as well as two switches on the north of the wreck.
 The train was an hour and a quarter late and running nearly sixty miles an hour when it struck the switch and was thrown over to the sidetrack. The rapid speed made it impossible to make sharp turn and the train left the track when it struck the safety rail.
 The engine was thrown twenty feet and blown to pieces. 9he tender was inverted. The trucks of the baggage car were torn off and the head coach telesooped the bag gage car. A vesdbuled choir car and the sleeper "Farragut' were derailed. but neither was badly damaged. Engineer Dowd and Fireman Hall both jumped and

BY ARCHIBALD ". BUTT.

Washington Sen emo,r 1.-(Sp ,cal. Tn report is given out here today and comes from Santiago as well that the navy depart ment has ordered Lieutenant Hobson to de- sist in his efforts to raise the Colon.
 Lieutenant Hobson is down with malarial fever, but 1t is said not to be of severe type.
 He is said to be greatly distressed at the action of the department, and in the New York Sun of this morning is quoted as say ing that if the government will not permit him to continue the work at It's expense he will ask the people of this country to raise $500,000 that he may continue his of. forts to save this mighty battleship. It is said here today that Commodore Watson ordered him to stop the work and sent another order for the wrecftpTsfi .sfns ..a''s l to return to Santiago. Lieutenant Hobss | is reported as sending a contrary order and that in spite of the orders of the commo- dore the tug continued it's labors How Lieutenant Hobsoh expects tc raise Tho funds it is not said, but he expresses the belief that he will have no trouble when the people of this country read his report on the condition of the Colon.
 Vessel Worth S3,0OO,OOO
 He says that 1t is worth three Maria Theresas and that he would consider 1t no loss to expend $6OOO0 on the experiment. The vessel Is easily worth s3,300 900. Some question is being raised as to the outcome if he refuses further to obey the orders of Commodore Watson. Chief Hitchborn would not confirm the report today, but said that it was well-known fact that all experts had reported unfavorably upon the attempt to raise the Colon.
 Hobson's admirers and friends here say that If such action has really been taken by the department that 1t is the outcome of jealousy in the service. It is said here that the order to stop work was sent by Secre- tary Long, who is now out of the city, and in his absence no one is authorized to speak for him in the matter.

Anxiety Relieved

London, September 1.-Q1 p. m.)-The war office was relieved this afternoon by the receipt of a dispatch from Cairo explain ing the interruption of the news from the Soudan, which gave rise to some uneasi- ness yesterday as to the movements of the Anglo-Egyptian column now advancing to- ward Omdurman It appears that the English communication was Interrupted because the wire beyond Navy island, about midway between Metemme and the sixth cataract of the Nile had been damaged by a severe storm.
 Shortly before the arrival of this intefii- gence came the following dispatch to the Associated Press from Navy island, dated August 30 and forwarded by messenger from the camp at the front, to Nazy:
 "There have been glimpses of the enemy during the last four days, and the first sikrmish took place today when an advance the Dervishes at a supposed outpost near Korreri, about eight miles north of Om- thurman. The enemy showed disposition to fight, beating war drums and display ing battle bunting. The Montmorency troops emptied few Dervish saddles, and three gunboats steamed up the river in front of the town and shelled the Dervish position. The army loss could not be as- certained, as the Dervishes were in a hollow, but fleeing troops could be dis tinctly seen. The army is moving slowly. Yesterday it advanced four miles in close formation.

sK1RM1sH OCCURRED AUGUST 30

London, September 1.-Great Britain is be- ginning to be alarmed, least the fate of Hicks Pasha has befallen the Anglo-Egyp- tian army under the sird, General Sir Her. bert Kitchener.
 The last news received was telegraphed from the front Monday night. The army was then twenty-three miles from Om- durman, the Dervish camp, near khar- toum. where the Khalifa was reported to be waiting with 100000 warriors, well equipped with field guns.
 General Kitchener's forces consisted of 10000 British troops and 15,O00 Egyptian blacks, the most perfectly equipped force the government has ever presented in the field. It was planned to keep constant communication with the base by field tel egraph, hence the fears that in spite Of the superiority of moral and accountre- ments, the Anglo-Egyptian forces may nave been overwhelmed by numbers.
 The government officers officially an- nounce confidence in the outcomD of the engagement but privately they do not con ceal. their nervousness at the lack of tid- ings from the front.

 General Shafter is now, strictly speaking, by reason of rank, in command of Camp Wikoff, but he will not assume the reins of control until his term in the detention camp is finished. In an interview this af- ternoon General Shafter said:
 Prom a casual observation like Camp Wikoff. It seems just such a place as l should have selected. I will soon acquaint myself thoroughly with all the details of the camp.
