Secretary of Agriculture Morton has made his annual report to the president. He recommends a thorough investiga tion of the agricultural experiment sta tions.

The duties on olive oil, champagne and sparkling wines are unchanged. Grapes and plnias will be admitted under re duced rates.

The new regulations for the issuo of certificates of residence to Chinese un der the provisions of the amendatory act recently approved by congress have been submitted to Secret;iry Carlisle by Commissioner of Internal Revenue Mil ler. According to the new provision a Chinese must swear that he never com mitted a felony in the United States, and the fact must be testified to by white witnesses. A photograph of the applicant must be attached to the affi davit, and two other likenesses must be transmitted to the collector of internal revenue and to the treasury department. Collectors of internal revenue and tlieir deputies are instructed that all classes of skilled and unskilled manual labor ers, including Chinese employed in min ing, washing, huckstering, Liundrying. peddling, shall be classified as laborers. A person to be exempted from the oper ations of this law must be engaged in buying and selling merchandise at a fixed place of business, which business is conducted in his name, aid who, dur ing the time he claims to be engaged as a merchant, does not engage is the per formance of any manual labor except such as may bo necessary in the conduct of his business as such merchant.

A Btory is told by tho New Orleans to bcw uneans raid of the Co-I Times-Democrat of a munches in Texas the first of June, many years ago, when the blackberries were ripe. There was a small settlement in the far webtern counties, as they were then called, but now are the ones most thick ly settled. The girls of the settlement, three in number, had wandered far out on the prairie to a little strip of woods to gather a few berries, as there were many, and of the finest kind. They had become so excited over their find and were picking berries so fast that they did not take in the situation. They were far from the settlement, as they had started early in the morning and hud not found any berries until the mid dle of the afternoon. The oldest was a girl of about twen ty, the other two were from nine to twelve. All ut once there was a savage yell ond six Ccinanches came in sight on a little knoll on the prairie, almost a quarter of a mile from them. Almost simultaneously a cowboy rode up to them, lie was armed with a jrood rifle and a brace of revolvers. He was a stranger to the girl and they were ap prehensive of his presence, when he told them not to scream, that he was their friend and would protect them from the Indians, who were advancing, hav ing espied the girls. The Indians evidently had not noticed the man on his pony, who was partly '.liclilen behind a thicket.

As they came near he again fired, and one trf the two fell, and the other drew his-gun. but the cowboy knocked it out of his hand and knocked the Indian down with his gun. The gun flew out of the cowboy's hand. The Indian leaped to his feet and they clinched.

QUEEN VICTORIA'S THEATER. The Waterloo Cbsmlier at Windsor Cas tle. Where rnfonaueM An Glvssv The Waterloo chamber, where "Car men" was recently performed at Wind sor by Sir Augustus Harris' company, is described by the Pall Mall Budget as a large, square room in the center of the state apartments. It is approached on one side by the grand staircase and the i I -1 , . , . Krand vestibule from the quadrangle, and on the other by the grand recep tion room from the private apartments. There are besides three other doors. i one side and the throneroora on the i !. . i other. The stage is erected across the I , .r .... , ! room, and the throneroora will be used ... i,:i.. r., i ! the king's closet and the northern end j ,V"T - - , : , "T. 77- , i I of the grand reception-room can also be j pressed into service as dressing-rooms, Opposite the stage is a raised dais, on which is placed a chair for the queen. and on a lower level chairs for the roy- al family. Around on the floor are cnairs lor tne privileged guests. The Waterloo chamber was built by ' Sir Jeffery Wyatville. the architect of ; modern Windsor castle, over a disused j courtyard which used to exist in the cen- t-er of the state apartments, and which served no purpose whatever. The cham- ; ber was originally intended as a gallery j to receive the numerous portraits exe- cuted bv Sir Thomas Lawrence for ; Ucortre IV. in remembrance of the vari ous kings, (renerals and statesmen who were associated in the league of nations against Xapoleon I., and with the sub sequent resettlement of Europe at the congress of Vicuna. The result of its central position was that it was lighted altogether by sky lights, and that the entire surface of the walls was arailable for the purpose for which it was designed. Among the works of art which line the walls are eighteen large canvases by Sir Thomas Lawrence, the most striking of which is the full length of Count Ploteff Hetman of all the Cossacks, which w as designed when the Cossack chief visited England in the train of the Tiar Alexander after Waterloo. The chamber has on several occasions been usad for great state ban quets. The throneroom is an oblong apart ment which looks out on the north ter race. The walls are hung with rich brocade of tho deep garter blue, and woven with the monogram of "SS" and the garter and motto of the order. The chairs and furniture are upholstered to match, and their total effect is very striking. The panels are adorned with very fine pointings, and there are sev eral very valuable cabinets filled with china. At the western end stands a beautifully-carved ivory throne, consist ing of a seat fashioned out of elephants' tusks, which was presented to thequeen by the rajah of Travaneore. This apart ment used to be the meeting place of the Knights of the Garter when a chap ter of the order was held. QUAINT BRUSSELS.
