BYRIGHT OFBISCOVERY United States Has a Valid Claim Upon Palmyra. WORK FOR THE RAILROADS. IT DATES BACK AS FAR AS 1808 fcrttlsh OMtHllw u So-Called Aav aeaaslea DM Mat Oeear Until ' Klthty Tn later. . ' New York, Aug. I.-A Herald special from Washington says: Id support of their claim to Palmyra island, which baa been taken possession of by the, Britiah government, the London author itiea refer to the fact that the British flag waa hoisted over this territory in 1889. Even if the offioial reoordaof tlie Hawaiian government fail to show tlie title of the Dole regime to the island, the United State ia in a poei tion to raise the claim that the island belongs to this government by virtue of 4isoovery by aa American eitiaen. This fact ia recognised by the authori ties in an official publication which contains a reference to its discovery and tlie action of the British in placing their flag over it The publication ia the official directions of the hydro- graphic office of Ureal Britain issued by tlie admiralty. In regard to Palmyra island, the volume states: "Palmyra waa discovered by Captain Saole, of the American shin Palmyra, 1 in 1803, and waa formally annexed to Ureat Britain by Commander Nicholas, of H. M. S. Cormorant, May 18, 1889. There were no inhabitants on the island at the time of its annexation, althongh Messrs. Henderson and McFarlane, of New Zealand, contemplated cultivating It" A high official of the state depart ment said last night that an investiga tion regarding the rights of Hawaii and Great Britain to Palmyra island ia now being made. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, said he had not examined into the question of the validity of the Hawaiian title to Palmyra island, and waa not prepared to express a defintie opinion on the subject, though he waa inclined to think it a matter of comparatively small importance to the United States whether Ureat Britain had the island or not, on aooonnt of its distance from the United States and Hawaii. The action of Great Britain in taking possession of Palmyra at this time is generally regarded here aa a step in her jubilee year poilry of strengthening her military lines. Another step ia that policy haa been brought to th attention of the state department in ' report of Consul Miller, at Port Stan ley, Falkland is las, who report that surreys are in progress at that point tinder the direction of Colonel Lewis, of the royal engineers, for the estab lishment of a naval station and hospital- Such a station af this -point, with repair shops and fortifications would be of the utmost importance to a Britiah fleet operating ia the Southern Pacific file Oral aad rtrols Crap Cut ef the Cascades- '(; . ,"N Portland, Or., Aug. 1. General Agent R. P. Oner, of the Northern Pacillo refrigerator-car system, was in the city yesterday. He has just made an extended tour of the fruit and grata districts of the country tributary to the Northern Paoiiio, and had thia to say tn the subject: . "There will lie an enormous fruit crop in the Snake river valley, in the Yakima district, and in the Walla Walla district In fact, there will be a heavy crop wherever there is an or chard in the Northwest The Sound itself will ship a largo quantity. The prices are uniformly good, growers be ing content to get one to one and a halt cents net per pound ia the Eastern markets. .. . - ' "In this connection I observed a very noteworthy fact, that is, the im meoee shipment of green fruit and vegetables to Alaska. One Tacoma firm haa a standing order to ship every thing in this line that will, in their opinion, atan i the trip. That's a pret ty good order. Moat Alaska boata bare oold-storage facilities, and could use more, for tlie demand ia surprising. It is a fact Uiat two cents a pound ia netted to the grower on fresh fruit sent to Alaska, and, now that this mining excitement is rushing such numbers of people into that region, it is easy to force great and growing market fur the green and dried fruit and vegetable products of the Northwest . "The grain crop is everywhere most promising. With the advancing prioe for wheat, this will be a banner year in the annals of the grain industry. I . i . . , . . i Wll eurpriHM to nnu was over in sun Sprague and Ritaville region the wheat crop was even better than in the Pa louse." . Traveling Freight Agent Savage, of the Omaha line, who just returned from the Washington fruit and grain country, also aays that no description of the crop outlook thia year can be too glowing. . RETURNED YUKONER ROBBED. WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. NEWS FROM AUSTRALIA. Aa Aeeeaat af th Trlml u4 tarMH San Francisco, Aug. J. The steam ship Alameda arrived from Australian ports this morning via Samoa and Hon ololn. .:, , , The Alameda brings from Sydney papers describing the trial and oon no tion of Butler, the murderer, who .was captured m San Francisco and returned to Australia, and who baa since been hanged. The trial lasted three daya, nd in some respects waa sensational. When the prosecution finished its c Butler waa asked if be had anything to say. The murderer waa ia a state of collapse apparently and the court ad' journed oiilil afternoon. He then in low tone made s rambling statement to the elect that he had started for the mines with Weller at Welter's solicits' tion. : On the way Weller acted qneer ly, and when he displayed a pistol But ler thought Weller was going to shoot him. Instead, however, Weller placed the pistol to his own head and when Butler grabbed it in an endeavor to take it away the weapon was discharged and Vi elier was shot through the head. Butler said be had used Heller's pa pers to enable him to ship aa a sailor. Tbe case was then givea to the jury. which deliberated for aa hoar and twenty minutes before bringing in verdict of guilty. ' Warknta Are Iseeertlae;. ' Washington, Aug. . The navy de partment has feit the evil effect of the gold erase.

The offioe haa been obliged to notify the appli cants that the land laws have not yet been extended to Alaska, though the mineral laws apply. Dwm Passed Oa la Oaaaha. Omaha, Aug. J.

Started Oat ta Ha New lark aad Was . Daae Vp ay Taaa. New York, Aug. a.The World aays: Henry Uauldier, 80 years ol age, waa found in this city unconscious and bleeding from a wound in his head, Citiaena picked him up and carried him to a saloon.' His skull is probably fractured. He telegraphed for his brother Phillip, of Laoonia, N. H asking him to join him at once. Gauldier said be waa direct from the Clondyke, having left Dawson City June 18. He came on tbe steamer Portland, the ; first steamer down. n hen he arrived in New York be went to tli Manhattan hotel. Ha had re ceipt for $300 deposited with the clerk of the hotel. : With $200 he started out to do the town. He ia not quite clear aa to bow he reached Harlem, or how he got where be was found, but he bad been robbed of tbe greater part of his money. When made comfortable ia the hospital he said: I wish I had bad 'Old Betey' with me when those ruffians attacked me." He went to the Clondyae a year ago, He stopped at Junea and went thence to Dominion creek. He located sev eral valuable claims. ' Tbe stories told, he said, of tbe finds ia that section do not begin to tell the truth. He lef used to say how much money be bad brought back, but said it waa not an common to find fortune in few weeks. ' "I only left at this time because a newcomer told me of my father's death, I ran away from home and have not seen my people in 20 years. Knowing that I had a rich find and wishing to share it with my people, 1 came back to get my brother to go with me. .. He will find our claims ia good hands With gold ready to be picked up." - Gaaldier's story seems to be verified by papers found la his pocketn, includ ing a number on the banks of tbe Yu kon, s receipt for a berth on the steam' er . Portland and the hat mark of i tradesman in Seattle If his skull is not fractured he may be able to leave the hospital soon. Pirates Are Peared. . . Washington, Aog. S.

Legitimate laws of supply and da mend may at times be counterbalanced by speculation, but they cannot always be ignored with Impunity. The ad' vanoa in wheat values during the week has been long overdue. ' Nominally it has been caused by reported damage to the Russian wheat crop. In reality it ia due to depleted reserves and small crops. A conservative statement of supplies at home and abroad is as fol lows: Importing countries require 100,000,000 bushels more than last year. The only countries with eiporta bis surplus are America and Russia. The latter, according to latest reports, ill have less than usual for export. America must therefore reap the benefit of the increased export demand. ' For innately, we have excellent crop pros peels, promising at present the second largest wheat crop ever produced in this country. Ia this connection it must be borne in mind that our reserves are practically exhausted, and if they are to be replenished from the coining crop our exiortuble surplus will not exceed that of last year by over 80,000, 000 ousbela. Importers are wakiug up to the situation, and they have bceu large and persistent buyers of wheat in our markets during the week. The re sulting advance, while large and rapid, is more than fully warranted, and tbe tendency of the market is to advance etiil further. Exports for the week were somewhat higher than the previous oue, wheat and flour equalling 1,078,000 bushels, while the world's shipments were re ported at about 4,000,000 bushels. Ou ocean passage decreased 660,000 bush els, and our visible supply showed an increase of 703,000 bushels, and now totals 16,032,000 bushels, against 47, 173,000 bushels a year ago this time. There were alarming reports of dam age to the Russians' greatest food aud cereal, the rye crop. An encouraging feature is the exceedingly light re ceipts of new wheat, the movement thus far being very limited and not amounting to more than one-third of that of a year ago. This indicates that there ia a very heavy interior demand for new wheat, or else that the new crop is being held back in anticipation ef higher prices. Cables have advanced daily and are very strong, bringing baying orders for both Lugluh and French accounta, mostly future delivery, ' Teloeraph Without Wire.

This could not be understood, as the different wires stood at a distance of 80 feet Experiments were made, and it was found that by vibration message eouid be practically sent to any dw tance, and the first time it was tested it worked admirably at 3,000 feet La ter on messages In the Bristol ohannel wore sent between two Islands some miles apart This invention would be of areal ser vice to lighthouses, as although every- tiling poeaioie was done to keep up communication with them.

It was practically spit out from the transmitter like miniature light ning, and this would be forced along at a pressure of 850,000,030 waves s sec ond to the receiver.

To be a thoroughly all-around, suc cessful farmer, a man must be some thing of a chemist to understand tbe soil be baa to deal with and the ele ments he must supply. He must be something of a botanist to understand (he needs of the crops, and tbe weeds be must contend against. lie must be considerable of a carpenter, mechanic and blacksmith. In order to keep bis farm buildings and tools In good condi tion, lie must be something of a vet erinarian, so ss to be able to relieve the sufferings of the animals under bis care. He should bare a knowledge of tbe birds, who are both his friends and enemies. It Is necessary tbat he should keep bis eyes open to tbe events of the lay, In order that he may Intelligently protect himself whenever his Interests ire threatened, e must be able to plan his work well and be possessed of ex ecutive ability, so tbat those who work under blm may bare their efforts di rected to the best advantage. lie should be a good business man, so as to be able to prepare and sell his products advantageously, tast, but not least, be should be poMseaacd of a good wife, wbo can supplement all his efforts. These are only a few of the qualifica tions necessary for a successful farm er, snd yet there are men who tblnk any "clodhopper" can be a farmer. Let them try It, and they will fltid that In farming, as In all business, there Is a bottom, as well as top, to tbe ladder.

As the method of cultivation changes to a very light scratching of the sur face, ao as to dVatroy small weeds and keep a inuk'D on the surface to prevent evaporation, farmera have lea rued that they can cultivate potatoee much biter than used to be thought poatalhle.

It belnngod to the time when plow making deep furrows between tbe rows sod setting potatoes In a fall) was thought to be tlie last caltlvatVoa needed.

There Is too much delay In wsltlng for the machine, and even If tbe weather Is dry, the grain Is very liable to bleach from the hot aun, and then It does not go through the usual barn swest. If tbe weather Is showery, the grain is damaged; tbe straw Is very badly Injured for feeding purposes, and In most cases there Is a heavy loss. Several farmera In our vicinity tried tli reshing from the shock last season. and In one or two Instances their grain waa badly damaged while waiting for tbe machine. If one haa a machine, or can get the grain threshed without de lay, of course, It may be tbe best to bav It threshed at once and tbe grain sold, wben tbe market Is tip. Grain threshed light from the shock Is liable to beat In bulk. If tbe grain is ricked, make tbs rick long and narrow, and have tbe rick bed raised at least one foot above the ground. Hav two large canvas covers bandy to cover over th Crlnssna C'ovar and TnralDa. At the last cultivation of tbe corn If the ground Is not wanted for grain, crimson clover and turnips may be sown. Bow one pound of turnips and fifteen pounds of cloverseed to the acre; tbe seea should be fresh. The one-horse barrow should b run through tut rows before sowing tbs seed. To bring turnips 400 pounds of dressed bones sbould be sown to ths acre. , .- ; .. Making Cheap Cora far.
