June 28 with the intention Of rein
forcing Captain Hall at Bekwai with
400 .. men, 200 carriers, seven-pounder
and q Maxim. When half mile
from Dompoassi he was fired upon
heavily from the bush. Captain Rom

fire. The casing Of the water jacket
split after half an hours firing and
nine men, including Lieutenant Ed
wards, who were working the seven
FOUNDER, were put out Of action half
an hour later. Major Wilkinson was
shot. The force then charged the
bushes, discovering stockade 80 yards
distant in the bush, 80 carefully con-
cealed that its existence could not be
suspected. The stocksde was carried
ut the point Of the bayonet, and the
force retired.
The casualties were six officers and
81 men. The enemy's loss was 80
killed and many wounded. 1t was es-
timated that the natives numbered 10,-
900, one-half OF whom had muskets.

The settlement of the Pacific Railroad
Indebtedness is also TO be ranked as one
of the greatest achievements Of Presi-

indebtedness had for years been a sub
ject of fruitiess endeavor; all efforts,
either by Congress or the executive de-
partments prior to 1897, were of little
avail in protecting the governments in
terest in these roads; in fact, there were
grave doubts whether the government
would succeed in being reimbursed, even
in part, the vast sum expended by the
United States in aid of their construction.
Yet the Mckinley administration, by
firm and business-like course, achieved
great success.

POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT.
Rural Free Delivery a Benefit
to Farmers.

Rural free mail delivery is the most
striking extension of postal facilities
brought about in the last four years. On
June 1, 1900, there were 1000 rural SER
vices in actual operation, and 1000 APP
plications for an extension of the sys-
tenn then in process of establishment.
The appropriations for the rural free
delivery service have been increased from
$4,000 in the fiscal year 1878 to $780,
coo in 1889, then to S450, 600 in 1885,
1900, and lastly to S1.T50.000 for the
present fiscal year 1900-1901.
Three years experience has shown
that in well-selected rural districts the
mails can be distributed to the domiciles
of the addresses or in boxes placed with
in reasonable distance of the farmers
home Mt some crossroad or other conver-
lent spot at a cost per piece not exceed
ing the free delivery in many cities.

1t was a Republican administration
that conceived and executed the idea Of
Frightening the home of the farmer, ed

and in a few months more would have

They at once grasped its possibilities
and, advocated its immediate develop

Department OF
AGRICULTURE.
Good Work Done for Farmers
by Mckinley.

The diseases of farm animals have re-
ceived special study in the Department
of Agriculture in the last four years.
Nearly 100000 doses of blackleg vac
cine have been distributed among the
farmers and cattle owners in the infected
districts, with the result that the mortal
ity among the young cattle in the infect
ed districts has been reduced from ten TO
fifteen per cent annually to one-half Of
one per cent. In the case of sheep, the
gasoline process for exterminating para
sites has met with great success. In hog
cholera and swine plague seventy to-
eighty per cent of treated animals have
been saved.
Butter, Eggs and Pork.
Encouraging results have been reached
in the shipment of butter and eggs to
England and also remote points in Asia
The inspection of pork advanced from
22,90O.SS0 in 1896 to los, 928, 195 in 1899,
or nearly 500 per cent.
Aiming to create a home supply Of
chicory, the department has seen the inn
ports fall from value of 1928, 229.31 in
1896 to S13.470 in 1899.
In seed testing and in seed and plant
introduction a large number of improved
products have been added to American
cultivation, notably a resistant alfalfa
from Turkestan. a drought-resisting
grass from southern Russia. and several
cereals adapted to the arid regions
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
As soon as Porto Rico began to be of
special interest an exhaustive report was
prepared on the commerce of that island
setting forth in the fullest possible man
ner the character of the trade carried on
with the several foreign countries, and
especially with the United States.
Later report of 160 pages was pub
lished regarding the trade of the Philip
pines, embracing practically all the avail
able statistics on the subject that could
be collated from the official import and
export returns of the various countries
enjoying commercial intercourse with the
islands.
Owing to the scarcity of reliable data
relative to Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. the preparation of the re-
ports on these former Spanish posses
sions required vast amount of research
Grasses and Forage Plants.
Experiments with grasses and forage
plants have been vigorously prosecuted
during the past three years. These ex-
periments are necessary in order that
ranchers and farmers may be informed
of the kinds suitable for their respective
districts. After these preliminary facts
are determined the promising varieties
can be recommended and adopted with
out further and useless expenditure of
time and money.

veteran at the Fifth Avenue hotel,
yesterday. "Isaw Myron P. Seullin
of Burlington, VT, veteran of Com
pany D, 18th Vermont Volunteers,
who lost foot at the battle of
Gettysburg, hold a reunion with his
foot, after a separation of 36 years.
Scullin was wounded in so peculiar a
manner at the ankle joint that after
the surgeon amputated the foot he
kept it and sent it to the Medical
Museum in Washington. An old
comrade of Scullin told him about
running across the bones of his foot,
scientifically mounted, and Scullin
felt curious to see just what the rebel
shell had done to his ankle. After
considerable search, sure enough,
Scullin found his foot, placard Civ
ing all the details about the wounded
member, with Scullin's name and
regiment prominently displayed of
course. This was the closest he had

A native, suffering with all the
symptoms of the bubonic plague,
was found in a house in the walled
city at Manila last Wednesday. He
was isolated and every precaution
taken to prevent spread of the dis
ease. Two suspicious deaths have
occurred in Manila within a short
time. The Chinese district in Homo
lulu. in which cases of the plague we're
reported, is reported to have been
surrounded by an armed Gordon. An
appeal for funds TO stamp out the
plague brought $500 within six
hours. Fumigating plants and Gre
matories were established at the four
corners of the infected district, and
six dead bodies were burned within
"a hours after the discovery of the
first case. The insular council appro-
priated $250,000 for the immediate
use of the board of health. While
there was something like panic at
the first discovery of the presence OF
the pestilence, it is believed that the
energetic measures instituted will be
sufficient to prevent it's spreading to
other parts of the island. The plague
is raging in the French island colony
of New Caledonia, north of New "a
land.

Although rich in such beautiful
flowers as the arum lily, amarylIis,
ixia and other choice dubious plants,
and also in fruits like the peach and
tangerine, South Africa is woefully
lacking in trees of sizs sufficient to
make a respectable wood or planta-
ton.
The only variety which appears to
thrive in any quantity is the blue
gum Eucalyptus globulus), which is
found in large numbers, so much so
that many people are under the i'm
preston that it is a native of the
place.
This, however, is mistake, as the
real home of all the eucalypti was
originally Australia, where, at the
present time, many OF the species
frequently attain a height of over
800 feet. 1t rarely reaches this alti-
tude in South Africa, however, al
though it soon establishes itself, and
then grows at tremendous rate, rap
idly forming a fine handsome tree,
with thick, glaucous foliage.
10 the form of avenues tits promi-
nent feature in many towns. The
chief street OF the town OF Worcester,
Cape Colony, has two fine rows of the
trees.
Eucalyptus globulus is cultivated
to some extent in the malarious dis.
tricts of Italy, and in other countries
bordering on the Mediterranean sea
In this country it is sometimes raised
from imported seed and used for
bedding in sub-tropical garden or
grouping on lawn, but it does not
stand our climate very well, and Of
course never grows to any great
height. 1t is the variety that yields
the eucalyptus oil, the antiseptic sc
much recommended as a cure for in
fluenza. Moreover, it's leaves, rolled
into the form of cigars and smoked
are said to be a cure for asthma. II
