The applicant savs he ilid not receive the benefit of President Harrison's amnesty proclamation, and lor that reason his unlawful relationsdid not cease until a tew davs after the time mentioned by the proclamation as the limit, NovemWr, 1800. He says he has not violated any law of the country ex cept that relating to cohabitation ; that he has not violated this law for more than two and one-half years. President Cleveland is in doubt whether he can properly grant the pardon, and before acting on it has referred it back to the Attorney-General for an opinion. In regard to the account of the inter view between Secretary Gresham and the Chinese Minister, in which Secre tary Gresham is said to have told the Chinese Minister that the administra tion did not intend to enforce the exclu sion law, it is stilted at the State Depart ment that, whatever tho views ot tlie President and Secretary Gresham might be in tho matter, thev would not give assurance to the Chmeso government that a law would not be enforced while it remained on the statute books, and that therefore the statement attributed to Secretary Gresham was inaccurate.- It is iinilerstiKsl that Mr. Gresham nierelv assured the Minister ot the good will of the United States toward the Chinese government and hoped the question ol exclusion would bo arranued in a satis factory manner, so that the amicable re. lations between the two governments wouiu nui do uisiurhcil. Representative Oates of Alabama has intnxlueed a bill to annex Utah to Ne vada. Mr. Oates said: "I have Wen thinking over this question a long time aim i neueve l have lounu the true Horn iiou oi a vexing question, ine plan is w holly within the power of Congress to carry out. there is nothing in the con stitution to prevent it. There is no wav to destroy tho State. That cannot W done, and yet the future of Nevada is I serious ouestion. Its notmlation de. creased from 70.000 in 1880 to 42.000 in 181H) in round numbers, and there is no prospect of its recovering any part of n oiii n una iohi, un me oilier Hand, it the silvcr-iuiuini! industry W further ill miiiished, there will not W 20,000 people in lhe State in five years, but it has two senators anil a Representative in Con gress. Utah, just adjoining, has 240,000 population, ami is not represented at all except by a Delegate with no vote. It is not right that Nevada should have such jHjwer in Congress, nor is it lair that wo should keep Utah out of the Union. Tho passage ol this bill will solve the question what to do with Utah and at the same time put lite and strength into the veins of a decaving State." Tho bill was referred to 'the louimittee on Territories. In reply to a Senate resolution of Sen. teuiWr 7, directing the Secretary ot the Treasury to inform that bodv "to what extent tho appropriations heretofore made (or the enforcement ol the Chinese exclusion act have been expended and wniu portions are now available, and whether in his opinion it is necessary that a further appropriation W made by Congress in order to carry out tho law. and it so, how much, the Secretary lias sent Ins reply, inclosing a statement showing the appropriations hiuI exnend itures since 1.88!l. It was shown that the balance available tho 7lh instant lor the current year amounted to ((13,502, which includes the unexpended balance of the appropriation lor the last fiscal vear. ai.rtua. It is estimated that 138,000 will he required to pay the salaries and necessary expenses ol the officers rejru 1...1 .1.......1 i .i... i r in,,. viii.n,iTi Kt ciiKPau inr exclusion aci lor me remainder oi the current year, leaving an estimated Iwlance avail able for thedeiHirtationof Chinese found to W unlawfully in the United States of 2.1.502. It apiH'ara bv the census renort of 1S1K) that the Chinese population of the United States in that vear was 10tl.- tW8. Ol this huinWr WS.477 were in the raeitte States and Territories. Tho mini Ivr w ho registered under the act ol Mav 5, 18D2, was 13,243, leaving "3,444 who failed to avail themselves ot the privi leges ol the act. Assuming that atniut 10 per cent ol these would W entitled to exemption, the Secretary finds there would still remain about SS.000 liable to Icportation under the law. The lowest Ovwt lor transporting Chinamen Irom San t-raticiseo to l long Kong is .i per cap ita, and other expense incident to ar rest, trial and inland transportation would also average, he sav. not less than (.15 per capita. If. therefore, all of those who did not register should W transported to China, the cost involved would arcrcgatc in round nuniWra about fcl,000.0i0. This, the Socretarv savs, in bis opinion would W a moderate amount to carry out the act. He was unable to turnish an accurate estimate ot the iiuni Wr w ho might W deported during the remainder ol the current fiscal year, tlie matter Wing largely dependent 'upon (in action of the court. Assuming, how ever, that the courts would W able to dispose of 10,000 rases during such pe riod, the amount required would not W less than (700,000. The Secretary ex presses no opinion, and makes no' .. I oiuineiidations. FOREIGN FLASHES. Welsh Miners Return to Work at Reduced Wages. VICTORIA'S EYESIGHT FAILING.

THE COMPOSITION OF WHEAT. About as Rich in Protein as Oats Richer Than Corn Even in Muscle Food Etc. At the prices now realized for wheat it is a question with many of our farm ers whether they had not better feed it rather than sell. Answering one such question through the Breeders' Gazette Prof. Henry of the Wisconsin station says : Our correspondent brings tin a vi interesting subject and one peculiarly proper to discuss at this time, when wheat has touched the lowest value in our grain markets known for a long time. The composition of wheat is shown in the following table, where I have com pared it with oats, corn and wheat mid dlings. Table showing the digestible constitu uents in 100 pounds: Crude Protein. Wheat H.2 Oats. 9 1 Corn 7.1 Wheat middlings 12 2 Carbo hydrates. 64.9 41.7 62.7 47.2 Fit 1.4 4.1 4.2 A study of the aWve table shows that wheat is aWut as rich in protein, which goes to build up the muscle, as is oats; that it is considerably richer than corn even in muscle food, but not so rich as wheat middlings, which is derived from the wheat grain in the process of mill ing. In the carbohydrates, the starchy matter, wheat stands highest in the list, excelling even corn, and far ahead of wheat middlings or oats, lhe starchy matter is the fuel for the body, a portion of which may be stored up as fat when not needed at once. I cannot but regard wheat as approach ing the nearest perfection for stock food of any of our grains, everything consid ered. The out grain, being surrounded by a husk, is the safest grain we have for stock-feeding, for the reason that an imals are not 00 easily overfed, but aside from this marked advantage fur the oat grain I should put wheat ahead, since 100 pounds of it furnishes more real nutriment. The only possible danger in feeding wheat arises from the fact that there is no enveloping husk about the grain, and if the careless feeder gives the animal the concentrated grain too liberally, de rangement of the digestive apparatus may follow. Wheat may be fed rolled or coarsely ground, or may be soaked. It should be prepared in some wav be fore being fed, though we have fed at this Btation small quantities without preparation with quite satisfactory re sults. Much will depend upon the way in which the horses masticate the food. The best form of preparation no doubt is rolling, the same as barley is rolled for horses on the Pacific Slope. In the process of rolling the grains are simply flattened, but not torn apart. In this form the food seems to lie light in the stomach and to be easily digested. Ground wheat may be mixed with bran to lighten it, or may bo spread over moistened chaffed hay the same as shorts or other ground feed. The present time calls for a special study in this direction, for wheat is sell ing at ruinously low prices. It would be a good thing for the market if 10,000,000 or 15,000,000 bushels were fed to our stock, as what was left would probably bring as large a sum total as if it were all sold, nOQ-RAISINO FOB PROFIT. Study the different breeds before se lecting the best for your purpose, savs t writer in Farm, Field and Fireside. Have the nigs come in the spring. Keep onlv the best pigs; discard runts. Have feed ing pens arranged so there will be no waste. Put divisions in feeding trough to lessen quarreling. Feed as much niilk as possible. Do not keep more hogs than you can raise feed for, as the greatest profit in hog-raising is in pro viding a ready market for produce and much otherwise unmarketable rough feed. Kid every louse and feed gener ously. Poorly-fed hogs are always un profitable. If in a fruit section, build cider mill for public use, if there is not too much opposition.
