short time ago the Secretary of the

As q result of the examination seven per-
sons attained positions upon the eligible

TAKU AND NAGASAKI.
establishment of n Transport Service
between the Two PInces.

In view of the prospective military opera
tons in China the quartermaster's depart
ment Is favorably considering the advsa-
b!lity of establishing regular service be-
tween Taku, China and Nagasaki. Japan.
and using the transport Logan and the
freight ships Flintshire and Wyefieid for
that purpose. The Logan carried the 9th
Infantry from Manila to Taku. and is now
at the latter port. The Fiintshire and the
Wyetield are scheduled to leave Manila to-
morrow with two battalions of the 14th In
fantry and a battery of the 9TH Artillery
for Taku The selection of Nagasaki as one
OF the terminals is due to the fact that all
the transports now leaving San Francisco
for Manila will touch at that port, and in
case 1t is desired to send the troops carried
by them to China. the service can be done
by the line from Taku without the ne
cessity of diverting the regular Pacihc
transports from their regular destination at
Manila. This arrangement would result IN a
saving of time. as the transfer of troops
could be effected more quickly than the
outgoing transports could be coaled and
provisoned for the extra trip TO China
The State Department is now in negotia-
ton with the japanese government for per
mission to land these armed forces at Ma
gasaki. Inasmuch as the Japanese govern
ment has heretofore granted similar PRIV
ilegc for the landing of American animals
at Kobe, there IS reason to anticipate 4
favorable response in the matter Of the
transfer of troops at Nagasaki In that
event, arrangements VIII be made for the
prompt Inauguration of the proposed trans
port service between Nagasaki and Taku.

A FERTILIZING INSECT.
How 1t Has Improved the Figs In
California,

All through the four corners of the globe
the agents of the United States Department
of Agriculture travel in search of new and
wonderful things to improve the condition
of the Yankee farmer. Whatever the earth
produces that this country does not bring
forth. whatever is produced somewhere
else easier in superior manner, the Agri-
cultural Department learns about 1t and
forthwith sends some bright young man to
bring it over here.
These busy agents of the American farm
err for that is VIVA: they amount to. are
constantly on the lookout for improve
ments or for subjects of transplantation
The latest importation of this kind was an
insect. which, it is expected. will add i'm
mea surably to the value of an American
agricultural industry.
The figs of Smyrna, as is well known, are
the standard figs of commerce, excelling
all other. Figs are grown in other countries
and plentifully in certain parts of the
United States. but none can touch the figs
of Smyrna. not even those of the sun
kissed Isle of Capri. When they began to
inquire into the superiority of the Smyrna
fig they found that it was due to the fer
tilizing influence of a little insect whose
habits led him into the ife of a rover. In
this nomadic condition the insect would
contract an entangiing alliance with the
pollen Of one kind Of fig flower. of which
he would diSencumbcr himself upon anoth-
much finer fruit
The Department of Agriculture brought
some Of the figs containing these insects
to Fresno Cal. where there are fig trees
iE. abundance. They were p aced into COM
r1:nication az the right tine with the fig
groves and the process of fertilization pro-
cCedcd rapidly.
The result was, it Is said that with this
little beginning. for only comparatively
small number of insects were obtained the
first year there will be several tons of
Smyrna figs shipped from Fresno this sea
son. Ordinarily the figs raised thereabouts
won bring 10 cents pound. Under the
new process OF fertilization their value will
be enhanced equal to the Smyrna figs.
which Is about - cents a pound.
1t Is expected that the fig industry
throughout the entire fig-raising section of
this country will be materially stimulated
when additional imports of insects can be
made and they can he distributed.

JAPas'S GRIEVANCE.
Complaint That Treaty Guarantees
Were Inmorcd in the Wet.

Extended negotiations between the State
Del artment and the Japanese authorities
relative to the alleged quarantine discrlm-
and in Colorado. are coming to a close The
Japanese have strongly insisted that under
the new treaty japanese travellers in this
country are entitled to the same considera-
ticn as citiz ms. For this reason the Jap
anese charge d'afairs. Mr. Nabeshima.
some time ago protested against the course
pursued in the west Of making special dis
elimination against Japanese and Chinese.
The State Department brought the mat
ter to the attention Of the governor of Col
orado. where the chief discrimination was
alleged. and the latter replied that the dis
elimination was a necessary precaution for
the protection of the people Of Colorado.
This reply was brought to the attention
of the Japanese officials here. They prompt
ly maintained that Japan has no treaty re-
lationS with Colorado OF California and
that they look only to the United
States government for the enforcement Of
that provision of the treaty which guar
antees Japanese freedom from discrimina-
ton. In the muantims. however. the fears
Of bubOnlc plague in the west have largely
died out. and the necessity for rigid quar-
antine has disappeared. Under such cir
cun.Stances the sharp diplomatic discus
sion has lost most of its point. and il will
probably be brought to a close by an eS-
anese officials that there WAS any occasion
for discrimination and the hope that in the
future the treaty guarantees will be oh
served

CLEMENCY FOR DAVIS.
The Attorney General FaNOr> shorten
ing His Term Of imprisonment.

Attorney General Griggs has recommend
ed a Communication of sentence for George
r. Davis. the young man who is under d
sentence of two and half years for shoot-
ing at Mr.. Baumgarten in the Office of the
Southern Express Company last August.
The recommendation, which is as follows.
will be acted upon favorably by the Presi-
dent:
The circumstances of this case. the good
character and standing of the petitioner.
and the accompanying request of the man
on whom the assault was committed. ask
ing for clemency. cause ME to think thai
the act of the petitioner which resulted in
no personal harm, was due to unusual ex-
element. and not at all deliberate or pre-
meditated. / advise that his sentence ne
committed to expire September 1. 1870.
which will make his imprisonment about
one year.
1t is probable that Davis. who is twenty
four years old. will not be sent to the peni-
Tertiary. but will be kept in the District
Jail until his comnuted sentence expires
Then he will have to face a charge of
stealing sl.uD from the Southern Express
Company while serving as a messenger fol

The Treasury Department has under con-
sideratiOn the question of designating TWEEN
ty-five or thirty post offices and customs

at which Porto Rican coins may be ex-
changed for American money. and it is not

law fixes no limit Of time within which the

notice that for an indefinite time after Au-

An Innovation.

Mayor-elect John Combe of ST. Jo-
seph has iEaugurated some innova-
tions in municipal government that
promise to make his administration
unique in the history of ST. Joseph.
The finances of the city are in bad
way, and the streets have been neglect
ed to such an extent that they are al
most worn out. In looking over the
situation. Mayor Combe discovered
that three-fourths of the revenue was
disbursed to officeholders in salaries,
and only fourth remained for public
works and other expenses. He held
conferences with leading business men,
with the result that d number of the
offices will be given to them, and they
will serve without salaries. FOTemen
and clerks barely sufficient to perform
the work will be hired under them.
and the city government will be con-
Quoted exactly as a business man
would run his private business. One
of the most important offices has been
accepted without salary, by Huston
Wyeth, n young millionaire and social
leader. Another millionaire who has
volunteered his services under Mayor
Combe is Milton TootIe, Jr., a bank
president.
