Commercial orchards Of Water
apples are not numerous on our Penin-
sula, due probably to practice at one
time of planting northern winter var
ieties which, TO our loss, fell to the
ground in the autumn, giving no pro-
fit. But by planting our best native
winter varieties and such as have been
a success as winter apples at the South,
there is reason for strong hope that in
few years we shall be able to grow
successfully, a fine quality Of rich,
juicy bookkeeping apples in great
abundance, not only to supply the home
demand and nearby city markets, but
the increasing export demand as well,
which is opening promising field for
this line OF horticulture.
We have little difficulty in growing
apples of as fine appearance and as fine
flavor as northern grown apples, and
when we get such varieties as will hang
late, Ia our mild moist climate, and
possess the merits of appearance and
flavor that our soil can give them We
will be ready to reap part of the pro-
fit from the growing export apple trade
which promises to make first class fruit,
fitted for that purpose, and properly
handled, as staple commodity as the
output of the Chicago slaughter hoasei
or the Baltimoreteanning houses, with
almost an unlimited demand to supply.
The experience of some our growers
on the upper part Of the Peninsula with
the York Imperial proves tito be worthy
of extensive planting. Stayman Wine
sap is making a gooG record as an early
bearer, good growing tree, bearing ap-
pies about as large as Baldwin, of fairly
attractive appearance. fne favor and
juicy, that hang late On the trees and
keep we'll; but there re no large Or
chards old enough yet 20 fully establish
its market reputation. There are sew
eral other varieties of Premise that are
comparatively new on The Peninsula
that we hope much froll in the neal
future.

By far the ablest and most intere ST
ing paper the government has recently
published is the report of 1897 of Hon.
A. P. Greeley, Acting Commissioner
of Patents. A synopsis has been printed
in some OF the newspapers, but, owing
perhaps to so much war news, its so in
complete as to give very little idea of
what this valuable document, which
will be translated and read by thousands
abroad, contains; it must bs read as a
whole to be appreciated. Inventors,
patentees, manufactures, capitalists,
and publicists, who wish to UNDER
stand the greatness of American in-
dustry and how indissolubly it is asso-
ciated with the patent system of the

The three commissioners appointed
by the Cuban Capinet to act with the
Spanish Minister in negotiating reci-
procity treaty with this county were
presented to Secretary Sherman to-day,
by the Spanish Minister, and later they
called Hon. John A. Kasson, who has
charge of the interests of this country
in all reciprocity negotiations. They
expressed an anxiety to proceed at once
with the treaty, but it is not probable
that any material progress will be made
until it becomes little clearer that it
will be worth while to make such a
treaty. If we are to have war with
Spain, there will be no such treaty me-
gotiated, and if we recognize the inde-
pendence of Cuba, we should thereby
officially declare that Spain had MOTH
ing more to do with Cuba. These
commissioners may be eptireIy honest
in their intentions, but the aGministra-
tion has not forgotten Senior de Lome's
advice that these negotiations be press
ed as blind, nor the statement made
on the floor of the Senate a few days
ago by Senator Proctor, showing the
weakness in Cuba of the so-called gov
ernment that these Commissioners rep
resent. In plain English these Com
missioners are being treated with every
courtesy due them, bat they are not
throwing any sand in your Uncle SAM

Naval Court of Inquiry. That report
will probably be received in day or
two, certainly this week. Opinion diff
fers as to whether the report will be at
once sent to Congress and made pub.
lie. Senator Chandler, whose relations
with the President are such that
his opinion is as good as that OF
any other man, said: ''It is barely pos
sible that the character of the doeu-
ment may be such as 60 render it mex
pedient to give it out until Congress
can be gradually made aware of its
contents. If, for instance, it indicates
beyond doubt the official cupability of
the Spaniards In connection with the
Maine disaster, it would not ba wise to
place Congress in immediate possession
of the facts officially, for fear that war
would be declared instan taneously, and
without due regard for all the condi-
tions," One thing is certain, Congress
and the public will have the report at
the earliest moment it can be given out
without detriment to public interest.
