Bees as POachers.

A very interesting case has origi-
mated at Warwick, N. ", and if
the decision is sustained on appeal,
a most important precedent will be
established. Bees owned by one per-
son punctured the peaches of an
other while they were ripening, ex-
tracing the juice from the fruit,
thus destroying it. The plaintiff
placed his damages at $3.50.
Local experts gave testimony in
both peach growing and bee keep
ing The justice gave judgment to
the plaintiff to the amount OF $25
and costs. If the case is sustained,
it will render the owners of the bees
liable in damages for their incur
sion on the premises of other prop
erty holders, the same as horses,
pigs, and other trespassers. A few
years ago a suit was brought in
Delaware County against farmer
to recover on a claim for pasturing
bees. The plaintiff alleged that the
bees had no right to obtain susten-
ance and material for making hon
ey for the benefit ofthe owners from
his property without compensation.
The contention of the plaintiff was
sustained and judgment was enter
ed.-Scientitic American.

THE FILIPINO SIDE OF IT.

New York, Sept. 5O.-Sexto Lo.
pei, formerly secretary and conf
dante of General Aguinaldo, arriv-
ed today on the Campania. Lopez
is said to have come here at the In.
vitation of Fisk Warren, and be
expects 10 explain to the people the
Filipino side of the fight with this
country. Lopez is a small man. with
yellow complexion and straight
black hair His secretary, who says
he has known Lopez for eight years,
Is colonial from Queenstown, and
describes himself as Britisher from
head to foot. At the dock there was
only one man to greet him. sandy
haired man who was addressed as
2ir. George, but to reporters he re-
fused to give his name. He saluted
the Filipino, and together they be-
gan a hunt of the dock for Fisk
Warren, who finally made his ap-
pearance, and together they went to
the Imperial hotel.
While coming up from Quaran-
tine Lopez gave out the following,
signed statement:
"My object in visiting the United
States is not to interfere in Ameri-
can politics, but simply to tell the
people whot the Filipinos desire in
the way of government. 1t is said
that my coming to America is in
the interests of certain persoiis and
parties. We. as Filipihos, know no
parties in the United States. We
have only one desire-to see Justice
for our country. Those who desire
to us justice will no doubt be glad
to know the wants aud conditions
of the Filippinnes. All we want is
peace with honor to both parties,
and we hope to be able to show that
the conditions of our country are
such as to fit us for the mainten-
ance of that Independence"
At the hotel he added to the state
ment the following: "The only
matter to which / need
refer is the publication of my hook
on the Philippines. 1t is chiefly a.
reply to Commissioners Schurman's
report and will contain history of.
the Philippines on past and present
events"
Mr.. Warren, Lopez and his secre-
saty left for Boston this evening.

,The Worlds Shipping.

Loyd's Register, the new edition
of which has just appeared, give
as usual, vast amount OF valuable
statistics relating to the mercantile
marine of the entire world. There
are now 28,422 vessels having tom
mage of 29,043,728. Great Britain
has 1O,S38 vessels and her tonnage
is 4,261 ,254. From this it will be
seen that the numerical proportion
of British ships is not 80 great as is
the case with some other countries,
because the greater part of her ships
are of larger size than those of other
countries, and more of them are
steam vessels. 1t is gratifying to
note that the United States comes
next to the British Empire. We
have 3,135 vessels, with tonnage
of 2,750,271; Germany has 1,710
vessels having a tonnage of 1885,
093. Then comes Norway with 1850
vessels with tonnage Of 1,640,S12; !;
then France, with ,214 vessels hav-
ing tonnage of 1,350,562, and
Italy with 1,176 vessels having n
tonnage of 988,655; Sweden has a
greater number of vessels than
France, having ,433, but as the
vessels are smaller, The tonnage is
only 637 ,272. Japan has 1,066 yes-
sells, the tonnage being 574,557; /;
Holland, 406 vessels with tonnage
of 530,277; Denmark has 802 ves-i
sells with Il tonnage of 519,011; Aus
tria-Hungary, 270 vessels with "a
tonnage of 416,084. Greece, BRAZIL,
Belgium, Portugal and Chile all
have tonnage in excess of 100, 900.
Theasteam tonnage of the British
merchant navy is superior to that
of all other countries combined but
nearly half of the tonnage of the
United States is made up of sailing
vessels. Great Britain has more
than 1000 steamers of 5000 tons
and upward. Germany has l27 Of
the same size; the United States
120, and France 60 Great Britain
now has "a steamers with register
of 10000 tons or more.

Nashville, Tenn, March 5.-Colonel
Frank M. Gardenhire, prominent citi-
zen Of Chattanooga, well known over
the state, has Just returned from
trip to Havana. Gardenhire in an in
terview predicts an uprising on the
day of Havana's municipal election,
this month. He says:
"In my opinion there will be serious
trouble in Havana on the day Of cleo
tion. l have several personal friends
In Havana, and this seems to be the
impression among them. According to
late regulation promulgated by Cen
eral Wood and other authorities 60
per cent of the voters will be disfran-
chised. Under the recent order the
qualifications Of a voter are that he
must be able to read and write and
own $3.50 worth Of property. This rule
was advocated by the Spaniards and
the more intelligent classes In Ha-
vana. The regulation almost shuts out
the average run Of natives, and many
Of them declare that If they are not
permitted to vote in the election there
will be some throat cutting on elec-
tiOn day.
"The people from the outside coun-
try are moving into Havana and all
want Offices. Some of them are fight
ing for places on the police force,
while there are just IL candidates in
the race for mayor.
"The natives seem to hate our SOL
diers even worse than the Spaniards,
but the impression prevails among the
officials at Havana that the Cubans
