O'Brien, Governor ot Newfound land, who is spending a vacation in Eng land, with reference to the question of confederation. Governor O'brien says that, so far as Newfoundland was con cerned, confederation waa not a live laauet but, H the queation ever arose, he should aay that the people were i probably more inclined to jofn the United Stotos ol America than Canada. It waa most improbable, however, that such an issue would arise. There wu no weakening in loyalty ol the peopled Newfoundland to Great Britain.

Ward Mc Allister believes in the old saw that " forewarned is forearmed," and wben Mrs. McCall brings her suit for breach of promise against the eon of the famous leader of the 400, there may be some teetimonjPthat will embarrass her. Mc Allister, Sr., has been gathering evidence with assiduity that proves that ha ia good for something more than model for those who wish to be in the swim. He hu learned that Mra. McCall hu rather an unenviable St. Louis record, and two well-known men of that city, aa well aa a prominent New York newspaper man, may have to tell what they know of the woman's put. One of the St. Lou lean a in queation is Colonel John Norton, man ager of the St. Louis Grand Opera House. who Is one of tile best known theatrical men in the country ,and whose wife eloped some years ago with Henry Moore, man aging editor of the Post-Diapatob. Mrs. McCall played a temporary engagement in Hi. Louis not very long ago, which ended in her chasing the susceptible Colonel Norton through the streets with a horsewhip. All this, with much inside history, Mr. McAllister is said to have fathered u ammunition in case ma son levward ia called upon to renounce his celibacy. SALCTB AT MIDHIOHT. Wby the Attack oa W.l Hal Wl Pror.d Fallar. Nxw Yobk, September 17. The foW lowing remarkable message in the origi nal baa been translated by a Japanese gentleman In New York. It waa sent by a special Japanese correspondent serving with the fleet in the Onlf of Pe Chi Li to tbe newspaper in Japan which be represents, and the name of which la lor obvious reasons withheld. The Jap anese government, which exercises a strict censorship over all newa relating to the war, prohibited its publication. It ia dated " With the Japanese fleet be fore Wei Hal Wei, Gulf ol Pe Chi Li, Augoatl2:" ' "At 11 o'clock yesterday morning, Au gust 11, onr fleet, consisting of twelve men-of-war and a fleet of six torpedo boats, took advantage of the darkness of the night and crept into the harbor at Wei Hal Wei unknown to the Chineee in the forta and vessels.

When midway a British man-of-war, which was anchored there, fired a salute lor the Japanese vessels, a very unusual thing to do in such circumstances. Upon this all the electric and search lights at the forts were lighted in an instant, and soon all the forte were in activity. An exchange ol ahota for over an hour fol lowed. Seeing that the plan to take the Chinese by surprise had fallen through on account ol the salute Irom the British, and further firing being of no avail, the Japanese retired. As the torpedo flotilla waa returning, a Chinese torpedo boat discharged a torpedo against it, bnt failed to do any damage, ana lor its irouoie wu instantly rewarded by being aunk by a torpedo discharged from one ol the Jap anese boats. The salutes from the Brit ish vessels cannot but be regarded aa a signal to make the slumbering Chinese know ol the presence of the Japanese, as it ia not customary to fire salutes at the dead of nignu" THK OPIUM SMUGGLERS.

Samnel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, and Christopher Evans, the Secretary, this morning per formed the somewhat elaborate cere mony of bestowing a charter upon the "Actors' Protective Union No. 1 " of the city of New York. The affair, which took place at No. 8 Union Square, wu strictly private ; but, judging from the applause which came in noisy bursts from behind , the closed doors, tbe speeches made by President Gompers and the members of the Central Labor Union to the town's vaudeville artists, who crowded the hall, hit the profes sional entertainers just - about right. Tbe speech of Henry White of the Gar ment Workers' Union, in which he de scribed tbe misery of East-side tailors, saying that without an organization the actors of America might in future per haps be brought down to the same star vation wages, wu received with great enthuaium. As soon as tbe charter had been conferred and the Actors' Protec tive Union No. 1 had become an integral part of the Central Labor Union, the election of officers took place. The Presidency of the union wu given to John II. W. Byrne, who, besides being a musical comedian, is the author of several pleasing ballade. That he ia a strict disciplinarian ia proved by the fact that bis firet official act to-day wu to issue an order forbidding members ol the nnion hanging around the door and hallways leading to the room ol the nnion. According to Matt Harrington there are now nearly 500 members en rolled in the nnion, ranging from $20 to $150 a week artists. He said : " What this nnion proposes is to ele vate the profession and atop accessions to the stage of prizefighters, freaks and monstrosities generally. We shall not attempt any violent methods. Members of onr union will not be forbidden to play with non-nnion actors, but we be lieve we can gradually bring about a weeding-out of people who have no claim to be regarded m legitimate members oi the profession. No person will be eli gible to membership who hu not been on tbe stage for five years, and who is not vouched for by five brother actors. Our union proposes to be benevolent in its purposes. It is not formed for the purpose of strikes and to fight the inter ests of the managers, but it is designed to be protective. As matters stand at present any irresponsible person can as semble a company and leave the mem bers stranded in. some distant city, to reach home as best they can or starve to death. By affiliation with other nnions thronsh the country pressure can be brought to bear against these swindlers of actors that will drive them ont of business. We don't oroDOse to make any fight against Corbett's or Sullivan's company, but men of that character may in the course ol a tew years nna it naraer to find support than they have hereto fore. I have no hesitancy, however, in saying that we are very likely to take immediate steps toward preventing the a access of Madeline Pollard. It is infa mous that she should go on the stage, and we propoee to see what can be done about it. There are at leut three thea ters in this city I will not name them where by the strength of organised anions sue could to-day be prevented from appearing. Yon mnst remember that our union will have the support and co-operation, when necessary, of the stage hands', the calcium-light operators' and the musicians' anions, all of which have been in existence for a long tune." BANK BECKITER'S BUIT. Crookedness of Ml.aourl Institution te be Brought to Light. Sbdalia, Mo., September 16. W. A.

THE FARM AND GARDEN Results of Experiments With Subsoil-Plowing. GBATIFYIKGIN GE0WI5G FEUIT8 Corn oa lahsoll-Plowed Ground loeaas to . PeeecH a Special Blemeat of Strength That Will Demonatrate tha Talaa of Sab.oll Cultivation. The following letter, giving the results of experiments with subeoil-plowlng, wm recently received by the Secretary of Agriculture from Peter Yonngers, Jr., of Youngers & Co., Geneva, Neb. : Having practiced subsoil-plowing ex tensively on our nursery grounds near Geneva in growing frnit and ornamental trees with gratifying results, we con cluded to experiment with grain and vegetables. - The ground wu prepared bysabsoil plowing in the fall of 1892, and the crop of 1893 consisted of corn and potatoes., Corn that year being only a very moder ate crop in this vicinity (maximum forty bushels per acre, and the average not exceeding twenty bushels), we harvested a crop ol seventy-five bushels per acre from a strip of ground that bad been subeoiled. The potato crop wu practi cally a failure in thia vicinity; the re- . suit of our experiment wu a good crop about 125 bushels per acre. This season (1894) the crop consists of rye, oats, corn and potatoes. Rye har vested indicates a yield of thirty-five bushels per acre, while rye in an adjoin ing field the same seed, planting and harvest, bnt not subeoiled will yield ten bushels per acre. Oats on land subsoil-plowed in fall of 1893 will yield forty to forty-five bushels per acre ;oats on land subsoil-plowed in fall of 1892 will yield thirty to thirty five bushels per acre; oata on land ad joining nnder ordinary cultivation will yield ten to fifteen bushels per acre (the average crop under tbe adverse condi tions that prevailed), in each instance the seed, soil and planting being the) same. The superiority of subsoil cultivation is especially conspicuous in the length ol straw and stand on the ground. Tbe results ol experiments with this year's corn and potatoes cannot at this time be determined. With a continua tion of the present favorable conditions we will have the largest yield of corn we) have ever had. Even nnder theee favor able conditions the corn on subsoil plowed ground seems to possess a special element of strength that will in all prob ability exert its influence in demonstrat ing the value of subsoil cultivation. POULTBT BOTES. Remember to keen the drinking i eels supplied with water. A small stock well cared for will pay more dollars than a large one neglected. Market your eggs wben fresh and yoa will establish a reputation that brings money. Don't feed surplus cockerels till they become "old roosters." It takes corn and cats the price to do it. . Some who supply customers regularly with fresh eggs use a rubber stamp to mark on each egg the date on whicn it wu laid. " Gather the eggs daily store in a cool, dry place, and find u far as possible pri vate customers that will take eggs weekly or oltener. When shipping poultry long distances supply the coops with com and water. Do not mix a lot of meal and compel the eating of soar staff. The bog hu been called the mortgage raiser. Have yoa ever tried to see what a few hens well cared for will do toward preventing a mortgage? Many Colorado poultry fanciers are using extract of logwood as a preven tive of cholera. Put enough in tha drinking water, once a week, to redden it the leut bit. Freeh eggs are always wanted and they are aa hard to get in summer u in winter, and we are Inclined to think harder, for eggs so soon become stale in warm weather. 1 - , We hold that no farm is properly stocked unless it hu at leut a small flock of fowls that are not half roosters, and that no farm ia properly managed if the hens are not taken care oi regu larly. ' .r-vt rv..- ,.:.;..... If you have old hens that are to be disposed of this fall, it will pay to sell u aoon as wey quit layine. urain is money these days, and fed to fat hens that are not laying, it will bring no pay ing returns. BRAJ TO. WHIAT. Tha Besalta at a Teat la Which They Were Comnaroel. . j . ' In view of the very low price of wheat and the probable doubt in which many farmers find themselves as to whether to sell or feed their wheat, the results of a test I made lut winter in which bran and wheat were compared may be of interest. ' On February 15 two lots of ewes with lambs averaging five weeks old were) selected, making the lota u similar aa possible. Each lot contained nine lambs and their mothers. - They were confined in stalls, given what mixed bay they would eat, and were watered from pails. , For their grain ration one lot wu given half corn and half bran by weight, the other half wheat and half corn. The lambs were fed by themselves twice a day what they would eat up clean ot the same ration. The bran-fed lot weighed at thia date 173 pounds and on March 13 220 pounds, a gain of 46)4, Those fed on wheat weighed at the beginning of the experiment ISSH and at the close 229, a gain ol 61)tf pounds. Dropping ont of ace ?t one from each lot that made very li t gain, owing to the fact that their mothers were very poor sucklers, those fed on bras made an average gain of 6 pounds 10 ounces: those fed on wheat, an average sain of 7 pounds S ounces. So far as this ex periment goes it shows wheat to be tits cheaper feed at tbe present relative prices, 42 cents per bushel and 79 cents per hundred. Wo trouble aroe front constipation among tha wheat-led !ib as was feared.
