This being the centennial year OF
the independence Of various South
American republics. the people of the
United States will have ample oppor.
tunity for demonstrating sympathy
and goodwill. Chile has invited our
government to participate in a cele.
bration to be held next September,
and the authorities at Washington
have accepted. A division of the Pa
cific feet, including several of the
finest ships of the navy will rendezvous
on the Chilean coast and will take
part In the display on the occasion. AS
arrangements have already been
made to have our government repre-
scented at similar observance in
Argentina to take place earlier, the
United States delegation may go to
Chile to give further proof of interest
in the later demonstration. All these
exercises are full of promise as tend
Ing to strengthen the good relations
between the United States and the
Latin-American nations.

IRISH DISTILLERIES
HARD HIT BY TAXES

Belfast. The situation brought
about in the Irish distllery trade by
the imposition of the additional duty
of 9S cents on whiskey and the con-
sequent great drop in the consump-
tion of that article becomes more
and more acute each day. The dis
tillers who have large capital and
ample reserve funds can meet the
crisis without flinching although even
they cannot afford much longer to
keep hugs staffs without business to
be done. 1t is, however. the smaller
firms that have been badly hit.
one of the Oldest established firms
in the north of ireland has been an

Greer & Company of this city, both
of these taking an equal share in the
business. The firm in question had
large connection in the north OF
ireland, and also did a fair business
with English and Scotch firms.
Since the introduction of the bud

Instead OF deficit of $34, 900, 900
predicted by the secretary in the Or
dinary receipts and disbursements
there will be, in all probability, a
surplus Of five or six millions. If the
extraordinary expenses of the Pana-
ma canal and redemption of the pub
lie debt are taken into account the
deficit for the year will be only $685.
100000 instead of $73,000,000 as es-
timated by the secretary.
Basing his calculations on the fig
ures already in hand, one Of the most
experienced of the treasury officials
predicted that the receipts of the gov
ernment for the year would reach a
total of s666,000, 900, which is s1S,-
100000 more than expected by the
secretary. This includes 1886, ,000,-
900 from customs; $265, 900, 900 from
internal revenue; s15,000,000 from
the corporation tax; and s50,0O0,000
from miscellaneous sources. Secre-
tary MacVeagh estimated last De-
cember that the new tariff would
yield 1895, 900 900 in revenue.
The ordinary disbursements will
amount to s660,O0O,OO0 instead of
$685., 100000 as estimated by the
secretary. The items which have
agreeably disappointed him are the
expenses for the civil list and for the
army and navy. The postal deficiency
for which he estimated $16,SS0,0 200
will be only s9,495,000.

month, which is also the end of the

the receipts been heavier than he
expected but the economies of the
administration have resulted in con-

orally selected from the first crop, and
go by the name seed potato. The only
reason / can assign for the failure or
your potatoes to make tubers would be
due to the fact that you used too much
nitrogen under them as evidenced by
the large development of tops. and did
rot use though phosphoric acid and pot
ash. II you used high-grade fertil-
izer containing, say per cent on nitro
gen, per cent Of phosphoric acid and
10 per cent of potash, at the rate of 800
pounds per acre, you should have Sc
cured good results. 1t is important that
plenty of phosphorus and potash be sup
piled to the potato along with the notro-
and when these elements are lacking you
are liable to have an abnormal growth Of
top and q deficiency in yield.
Theer Is nothing better to plant for a
second crop than any Of the early ma
turing varieties, such as Bliss, Early
Rose Irish Cobbler, etc. Save the small
potatoes from the first crop or secure
them for seed from some neighbor. Put
them under q tree where they will be
fairly we'll shaded and allow them to
green" somewhat. Then cover with a
straw or a light layer Of earth and keep
moist until they begin to sprout; then
plant the whole potatoes. This may be
done in time along the end OF July or
the early part Of August.
