Cold Storage Shipment.

Great things were expected Of cold
storage. By an improved system of
cold storage facilities for meats, fruit
and eggs, we have been told, Canada
and the countries at considerable dis
lance from Great Britain would be able
to compete on equal terms in her per-
ishable goods markets with the con-
tinental producers. After some expe-
rience with cold storage it becomes
apparent that the expectations of mer-
chants have not in all branches of the
trade been realized. At considerable
expense a steamship service has been
fitted out with refrigeration plant. 4
Glasgow importing house refers to this
as follows: GAS for putting eggs in
cold storage on board these steamers.
we think it is the worst thing for the
eggs, because they run the refrigera-
tors at such low temperature. with
the result that the shells of the eggs
often get very brittle, and the least
knock breaks them and causes a lot
of damage to the eggs" This firm has
instructed all its packers not to shin
single egg under refrigerators. "as orr
experience this season is that eggs
coming in under ordinary freight have
been more satisfactory, and there is no
doubt that when eggs are Skinned
fresh, for the short time they are on
the voyage, they should be in perfect
condition when they arrive here" IN
fortunately, all the consignments of
eggs sent across the Atlantic are not
fresh when they leave the forwarder's
hands. There is nothing that will make
amends for delay in marketing eees
1T has been found that when eggs are
taken from cold storage into warmer
temperature moisture gathers on the
shells, which, passing into the PASTE
board cells used to pack them, causes
an Objectionable mustiness and mold
to form on both eggs and package,
This must prove a great hindrance in
the way of the sale of the eggs, and
leads merchants to prefer the domestic
eggs or those that have been imported
without the assistance of refrigeration.

Hornless Quality In the Galloways.

Hornless Quality In the Galloways,
GallOways are all hornless. The uni
versal testimony amongst old breeders
of Galloways is that pure bred Gallo
way never had any trace of horns or
scurs. That there have been horned
cattle bred in Galloway, is well known
for many years, some farmers in this
section bred horned cattle both beef
and dairy breed, and to outsiders this
gave rise to the story that part of the
Galloway cattle were horned and part
polled, but oral testimony, handed
down for many years, and that of men
who lived amongst the cattle, confirm
the statement that any trace of scurs
was always taken as an indication of
impure blood. None of the old native
breed of the pure Galloway ever had
horns. Professor Low, Of Edinburgh.
who carefully examined into this mat
ter, says: absence of horns has been
for a long period distinctive charac-
teristic of the race" So fixed in this
character that the produce of pure
bred Galloway bull with any breed Of
horned cows should give polled calvec.
No other breed of cattle will equal the
Galloway in this respect. History of

massacre the sick and wounded, which,
naturally he did not do.
The Spanish, it is asserted, thereupOn
thanked the Americans for their humani-
ty and repaid them by informing them Of
a narrow channel which they said was
not mined. while the broad channel, they
explained. was fully mined. Investiga.

ed the contrary to be the case. and the
mines were blown up by the sailors Of

Fire Wa Returned.


Washington, May 9.-The president
today sent the following message to con-
gress:
To the Congress of the United States:
On the Gath of April l directed the
secretary of the navy to telegraph orders
to Commodore George Dewey, United
States navy, commanding the Asiatic
squadron, then lying in the port of Hong
Kong, to proceed forthwith to the Phil
ippine islands and there commence opera
tons and engage the Spanish feet.
Promptly obeying the order, the United
States squadron, consisting Of the flag
ship Olympia, Baltimore, Raleigh, Bos-
ton and Petrol, accompanied by the rev.
enue cutter Hugh McCul!Och as an aux
iliary dispatch boat, entered the harbor
Of Manila at daybreak on the lst day of
May and Immediately engaged the entire
Spanish fleet, eleven ships, which were
under the protection Of the fire Of land
forces After a stubborn fight, in which
the enemy suffered great loss, those YES
sells were destroyed or completely dis
abled and the water battery at Cavite
was sileneed. OF our brave officers and
men, not one was lost and only eight
injured, and those but slightly. All our
ships escaped serious damage. By the
4th Of May Commodore Dewey had taken
possession of the naval station at Cavite,
destroying the Notifications there and At
the entrance Of the bay and paroline
their garrisonA The waters of the bay
are under his complete control. He has
established a hospital within the Amer
lean lines where $50 Spanish sick and
wounded are assisted and protected.
The magnitude Of this victory can
hardly be measured by the ordinary
standards of naval warfare. Outweigh
ing any material advantage is the moral
effect Of this initial success. At this un.
surpassed achievement the great heart Of
our nation throbs, not with bOastinQ OF
with greed Of conquest, but with deep
gratitude that this triumph has come in
a just cause and that. by the grace of
God, an effective step has thus been taken
toward the attainment Of wished-f for
peace.
To those whose skill. courage and de-
votion have won the fight, to the gallant
commander and brave officers and men
who aided him, our country owes an in
calculable debt. Feeling as our people
feel, and speaking in their name, at once
sent a message to Commodore Dewey
thanking him and his officers and men
for the splendid achievement and over
whelming victory and informing him ]
had appointed him acting rear-admiral
l now recommend, following our ma
tional preeedents, and expressing the fer
vent gratitude Of every patriotic heart,
that the thanks Of Congress be given to
Acting Rear Admiral George Dewey Of
the United States Eayy for his highly dis
tinguished conduct in conflict with the
enemy, and to his officers and men under
his command for gallantry in the destrue-
tiOn Of the enemy's fortfcations in the
bay Of Manila.
