The king of Ashantee has rejected the British ultimatum, saying that he pre fera war to accepting the terms of the British, and adds that he is fully pre pared for it The terms of the British ultimatum were that the king should take a Brit ish commission in his oountry and that he should place Aahantee under the proteotion of Great Britain. He was given until Tuesday to reply. A strong foroe of native troops will now be dispatched to Coomasaie to foroe the king to terms.

The taking of testimony in the Zante currant case will begin next week. The evidence will be heard by F. N. Shurtleff, of the board of general appraisers, whom United States Judge McKenaa has ap pointed as referee. The importing first direotly interested in the present pro ceeding is S. L. Jones & Co., whose importation of Zante ourranta had the regular duty levied upon them at the instance of Collector Wise, though it was contended that auoh action was not legal. Jones & Co. insisted that their ourrants were not liable to the doty mx, and that they did not come from the isle of Zante, but from other isl ands in the Grecian arohipelago. The contention of the local ouatoma author ities is'that it was the intention of oongressiin the tariff regulation taxing Zante ourranta to have it affect all of the species usually so designated whether the fruit actually in question was grown in Zante or somewhere else. Jones.& Co., however, paid the duty under, protest, and appealed the ease to the general board of appraisers in New York. That body sustained the im porters and reversed the decision of the oustoms officials. Collector Wise then, with the consent of the secretary of the treasury, oarried the matter into the United States oirouit court, where it is now pending. The Nicaragua Canal. New York, Nov. 2. A special to the Herald from Washington says: In formation has reaohed Washington that the members. of the Nicaragua canal commission will sign today their report on their inspection of the pro nosed route for the waterway, and send it at onoe to the state department It is generally believed here that the re port is favorable to the construction of the oanal under government manage ment. It ia thought the estimate as to its prospective cost will be about $100, 004,000. . The Kewfoundland Smuggler. St John's, N. P., Nov. 3. Owing to the prosecution of bank directors and smugglers, a special term of the supreme court will be needed. The tirale freight smuggling cases are of such character as to require . that they shall be heard before juries. The crown prosecutor admits that there ia little prospect of the jury!s convicting for this offense. An investigation has been ordered into the workings of the customs department preliminary to the dismissal of a number of officials whose negligence or connivance per mitted the smuggling in the districts for which they were responsible. Affair of State la Bulgaria. London, Nov. S. A Sofia dispatch to the Standard says the opening of so branke was awaited with feverish ex pectation. The Princess Maria and Clementine and many diplomats were present When it was found that Prince Ferdinand did not mention his son Boris, a dead silence reigned for a few minutes. It was stated that Stoi liff had resigned the premiership. Prince Ferdinand refused to aocept the resignation, but promised to use his best endeavors to bring about the bap tism of Boris into the Russian church, whereupon the resignation waa with drawn. HI Servleee Sntisractery. Madrid, Nov. 5.

Indicted for Maalaogkter. Washington, Nov. 3 Miss Flagler, daughter of General Flagler, who kill ed a negro boy who was stealing fruit, several months ago, was indicted today for manslaughter. CANAL STATISTICS. ThoM of New York State Will Sooa Tmj for Improvement. New York, Nov. 3. The Engineer ing Newa this week discusses editori ally the proposed expenditure on the New York state canals. It shows that if the proposed improvements reduce the oost of carriage 1 oent per bushel, which appears probable, the saving with a trafUo on the oanal equal to that of 1894 will amount to $1,088,000 per annuum. It deems it likely, however, that, with the canal deepened and im proved as proposed, the trafflo will in crease to what it was in 1860, and if this ooours the annual saving in coat of freight transportaion will amount to $3,182,000, or a return of nearly 25 per oent per annum on the expenditure which the state proposes. Conoernlng the objection that a ship oanal might supersede the Erie oanal, it says; "A canal rate as low as one-half oent a bushel from Buffalo to New York (which seems likely to be reaohed when the proposed improvements are made), amounts to only a tenth of a oent a ton per mile. ' Remembering that freight rates on the open ocean on the lines of heaviest trafflo and low est rates, are often as muoh as this, and seldom less than half of it, it ought to be easy to see that even were a ship oanal open to the great lakes it by no means follows that ooean vessels oould afford to use it in competition with cheaply built barges on the Erie canal. ' ' HE FAVORS CALIFORNIA, Haa Fratwlseo Well Thought of In the Kaat for the Convention. Sao Francisco, Nov. 2. Lewie G. Stevenson, of Bloomington, 111., son of V Joe-President Stovenaon, arrived to day and brought with bim some en couraging news of the convention fight He said: "1 heard considerable talk of San Franoisoo's tight for the Republican convention before I left Chicago, and I notioed that many prominent people are in favor of the plan to bring the big gathering to San Francisco, Per sonally, 1 would be delighted to see the convention held here. A few years ago I passed a winter in California, and I have been in love with the state ever einoe. Tbe meeting or one or both ot the big conventions in San Franoisoo would do California a lot of good, for all that ia necessary to win friends for the state is to show people what a glorious oountry you have here. If one of the national oonven tions met here, all the delegates would advertise California as long as they lived." Soldier as Servant. Chicago, Nov. 3. It is openly charged here tonight that Colonel Crof ton, oommander of Fort Sheridan, has far a long time been violating the rules by having in his employ as servants men regularly enlisted. It is said also that these faots have been presented to several congressmen and that they have promised to start an investigation through the secretary of war. It is charged that Colonel Crof ton haa ser vants who are on the roll as employes of the quartermaster, and who are al lowed 60 cents in addition to their regular pay. It is said Colonel Crofton is not tbe only officer at Fort Sheridan who has violated the rules in this way, and that, when an investigation is made, it will be found that a number of offi cers have servanto who should be do ing post duty, and not waiting i them. England' Cable Soheine. London, Oct 81. The Paoifio oable scheme, advocated by a number of British colonies and Canada, made a decided advance today at a meeting of the representatives here of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the South Africa colonies. The meeting was held at the office of Sir Charles Tnpper, Canadian high commissioner, and the point discussed was tbe joint attitude of tbe colonial representatives. The instructions sent by the colonies to their agencies-general show .the colo nies are willing to bear their share of the expense of tbe cable. And that they are anxious the matter should be ac tively pushed. Upon the return to town of the Bight Hon. Joseph Cham berlain, secretary of state for tbe. col onies, a date will be f xed for tbe. con ference at tbe colonial canoes, upon whioh oooasion it ia expected definite action will be taken. To Improve Cleveland Terminal. Cleveland, Nov. 3. In reference to the $6,000,000 loan just negotiated in London by the Baltimore & Ohio Bail road Company, with the entire prop erty of the reorganised Valbiy & Cleveland Terminal Road Company as security, Vice-President Keira, of the latter oompany, said today: "The policy of the road ia first to get the oompany to pay off the debt, ao quire new financial resources and then go ahead to develop. Tbe Baltimore & Ohio has had vast interests here for years. Tney nave been allowed to virtually go to waste, but you can say that $6,000,000 will enable us to make improvements and prove of benefit to Cleveland and the roads." Will of K. P. Ferry. Olympia, Wash., Nov. 3. The will of tbe late E. P. Ferry was filed for probate in the superior court today. By its provisions, the estate is left to the widow, with the exception of a leg acy of $100,000 each to tbe children, exoept Lincoln P. who receives $1. His granddaughter, Emily, will receive $100.

A DECISION BY JUDGE SHISAS The A goat Have All the Aatherltr of the Government and Oam FnnUh . Thai Who KesUt Them. Linooln, Neb., Oct 81. Judge Shi ns has rendered an importat decision in the case of the Flournoy Land Com pany against the Indians. Sheriff Mullen, of Thurston county, had been indicted for assaulting and obstructing Indian police while engaged, by order of Agent Book, in ejecting the tenant of tbe land company from Winnebago reservation. The court refused to quash the indictment William Garrett and J. F. Myers were arrested for assault ing the Indian police in the discharge of a similar duty. They sought re lease on habeas corpus. The writ waa refused. The judge considered the twp cases almost identical, and held that tbe Indian agent was an offloer of the United States, and that the Indian policemen, acting on bis orders, oould exercise all the authority of tbe gov ernment, and parties resisting their authority should be punished as pro vided. Though the Indians had taken land in severalty, tbe title still re mained in the United States, and the agent had authority to enforce his or ders and eviot trespassing tenants. Until this decision is reversed or modi fied, the authority of the Indian agent is supreme, and the land oompany stands defeated at every point A PublUher Sued lor Libel. Washington, Oct 81. The trial of Caesar Moreno, charged with criminal ly libeling Baron Fava, the Italian ambassador, began in tbe distriot oourt today. Baion Fava waa aooussed of being oonoerned in tbe importation of padrones. The publaher of the paper in whioh the artiole appeared testified that Moreno was tbe author of it Cor respondence betwen Fava and the gov ernment officers urging the suppression of the padrone system was put in evi dence, and the other testimony intro duced to show that the ambassador had tried to kill the padrone system. The defense sought to prove that Fava and nor. the United States government had instituted the libel, and also that there was no malioe, but this was not very successful, the jury returning a verdiot of guilty. Notioe of appeal was given, and, pending it, Mr. Moreno was re leased on $3,000 bait Keed of Fortification. I Port Townsend, Nov. 1. Senator Squire addressed a representative body of citizens tonight on the necessity of fortifications for Puget sound, dwelling particularly upon the magnificent offensive and defensive fortifications maintained at Esquimault, where t British fleet of warships is always bar bored. He said that tbe present de fenseless oondition of Puget sound waa a constant temptation to the nations of Europe, who were constantly seek ing to override the Monroe doctrine. The nation's lawmaker's, he said, had never visited the Northwest, and are unable to comprehend the vast amount of wealth lying exposed to the mercy of an invading foe. He favors tbe rapid erection of coast defenses. The Chinese War Indemnity. London, Nov. 1. Over 8,000,000 will be transferred to Japan by the Bank of England as the first payment of the Chinese indemnity. It is thought probable that 3,000,000 will be used immediately to pay debts in ourred for abips and war material. It ia expected that the balanoe will be wanted soon in payment for more abips and munitions already ordered. It is not considered likely that any gold will be taken out of the banks, but it is possible some gold will be need to pur' chase silver. Danger of Statehood. Salt Lake, Oct 31. The Tribune prints a column article today, stating that oiroulars are beings sent out from Ogden to all voters in the territory for the purpose of defeating statehood. The cicrular is headed: "The Danger of Statehood." It deals largely in statis tics, showing the oost of running the state government, and closes by saying that statehood will add $500,000 to the burden of the people. It is claimed that the circulars are sent out by Fred J. Kiesel, who was a Democratic mem ber of the recent constitutional oonven tion, and that a list of voters had been obtained from the records of tbe Utah commission. 1 The Sonnd Drvdoek Completed. Taooma, Oct 81. The last piece of the structure of the government dry- dock at Port Orchard was put in place yesterday, and it is now ready to re ceive a ship as soon ss tbe entrance channel is dredged out and the coffer dam removed. This work is being pushed by the Ban Francisco Bridge Company, and on Saturday a new air pressure digger was fitted to the dred ger, it was started Sunday ana is working with great success. A leak a Salman Pack. Port Townsend, Nov. 3. News was received today from Karluk, Alaska, that tbe number of salmon packed by tbe Alaska Packers' Association, as compared with last year, bad fallen off 30 per cent Tbe canneries on Prince Williams' sound and one or two other places did slightly better. The salmon pack of Alaska will average 20 per oent under last season's product PENSION REPORT. Commissioner Loohrea Makes Several Pointed Suggestion. Washington, Oct 81. Commission er Loobren, of the pension office, in bis annual report, makes several pointed suggestions. . Under the bead of "Pa triotim and Pensions," he says: "Those men who enlisted early and fought the battles of tbe war were not moved by meroenary considerations, and unless actually disabled, did not show the haste in applying for pensions manifested by those who enlisted near er the olose of the war for large boun ties and did little aotual servioe, and who are now the noisiest in clamoring for more pensions. As compared with this latter olass, the real soldiers have been modeat in preferring claims for pensions." The commissioner says that many disreputable and incompetent men are engaged as pension attorneys, and he suggests that none but reputable men be allowed to practice in pension cases. Dishonest attorneys have given much trouble by systematic criminal and fradulent practices. Pension payments, the commissioner says, bring large amounts of money into communities, and the fear that the conviotion of these attorneys will lessen the influx of money has shaped itself in popular rancor against the special examiners, whose investigations have secured the conviction of criminials. The speoal examinations division will not require as muoh money as in the past, for the reason that the vigorous prosecution of frauds and crimes haa discouraged and measurably stopped frauds. The death of many witnesses and the age of olaimanta have made it quite diffioult in many oases lately to obtain proof Buffioient for the granting of pen sions. The commissioner recommends that some provision be made for tbe main tenance of clerks in his bureau who have been long in the service and have become praotically disabled. The re port shows: Number of pensioners June 80, 1894, 969,544; new pensioners added during the year, 89,185; dropped pensioners restored, 4,306; deaths during the year, '29,816; dropped for cause, 15,157; net increase during the year, 860; olaima allowed during the year, 29, 185; oenied, 103,856; cases pending, 552,2 1 0. The appropriation for the year waa $150,000,000, and there was paid out during the year $137,807,837. Tbe estimate for pensions for 1897 is as follows: Pension payments, $140,000,000; surgeon fees, $800,000; olerk hire at agencies, $450,000; other expenses, $300,000. The commissioner oom mends the vigor of the department of justioe and of the pension examiners in the persecution of dishonest attorneys and others who were engaged in pen sion frauds. Two hundred and ninety four persons were convicted during the year for frauds - BOGGS UNDER ARREST. Taooma' Ex-Treasurer I Taken : at Medford. Medford, Oct 81. Sheriff Samuel Parker, of Pierce county, Wash., ar rested here George W. Boggs, ex-treasurer of Taooma. The abeirff was armed with requisition papers and started with his prisoner for Taooma. Boggs is proprietor of a saloon, and is also engaged in mining enterprises in Southern Oregon. Taooma, Oot 81. Ex-City Treasurer George W. Boggs, who was arrested this afternoon in Medford, Oregon, by 8heriff Parker, of this oounty, was ar rested on two warrants, sworn out late Saturday ninht by Mayor Orr. The arrest results from the investigation following the recent bank failures, which disclosed more fully than was known before the transactions of Boggs while city treasurer. He oaahed war rants, as they were issued, with oity funds, instead of calling in old ones. Before he went out of offioe, be placed warrants, aaid to amount to $212,000, in various banks, receiving credit for them as cash. These banks have since failed, the city losing the deposits, less uncertain future dividends. One warrant oharges Boggs with lsroeny by embezzlement of $109,000; the second ; with unlawfully using $180,000 for a. purpose not authorized by law. Boggs was tried on a charge similar to the first one in September, 1894, and was acquitted. He readily gave himself up on bearing that he was wanted. The sheriff and his pris oner will arrive here tomorrow at 5 P. M. ' ; - ' The Women Cannot Tote. Columbia, O., Oot 81. The oon vention today voted down the woman suffrage amendment with a deoisive vote of 121 to 26. George U. Tillman made a great speeoh declaring that by enfranchising women with a property qualification the white people would carry the elections by fair and honest methods and by no other way oould they do it He characterized the suf frage plan of Senator Tillman as s tem porary fradulent makeshift Broke Johnson' Keeorde. Chilliootbe, O., Oct 81. W. W. Windle, the bicycist, broke three world's records here today whioh were held by J. S. Johnson.

San Francisco, Oct 81. The city board of health today rescinded a reso lution, previously adopted, declaring Honolulu an infected port It was a precautionary measure, that all vessels from Honolulu should be detained in quarantine nil bills or neaitn ntwin have been examined and passed upon by tbe board. BORDEAUX MIXTURE. Hew Method of Preparing II Deeerlbed si a Meeting of 8clatlt. At the recent meeting of tbe Associa tion of Agricultural Scientists Mr. Swin gle of the department of agriculture de scribed a new method of preparing bor deaux, a summary of which is given by Rural New Yorker as follows: Where bordeaux mixture ia need on an extensive scale it pays to prepare stock solutions of both the copper sul phate and the lime. The stock solution of copper sulphate is prepared by dis solving in a barrel holding 60 gallons of water, 100 pounds of the bluestone. Tbe latter is dissolved by suspending it in a sack just beneath the surface of tbe liquid. The usual plan ia to put into the barrel 60 gallons of water and then mark the point where the liqnid stands. About one-third of the water is then poured out, and the 60 pounds of oopper sulphate, which has been previously tied in a coarse gunny sack, is suspended over the edge of tbe barrel and allowed to reach just beneath the surface of tbe liquid. When nil tbe copper sulphate is dis solved, the empty bag is tuken out, and a sufficient quantity of pure water is added to bring tbe solution in the bar rel up to 60 gallon mark again. It will be seen that every gallon of the liquid contains about two pounds of copper sul phate in solution. This stock solution is set away in a convenient place, and when wanted ia drawn from the barrel through a wooden spigot at the bottom. The stock lime preparation is made in much the same way. Fifty pounds of lime are placed in a barrel and then slaked in the nsual fashion. When slaked, sufficient water is added to bring the whole mass up to a previously de termined 50 gallon mark. The stock lime is also stored in some convenient plnce, but it is best to ar range to remove what is wanted from the top of tbe barrel rather than attempt to draw it off through a spigot To prepare bordeaux mixture it ia necessary to take a certain number of gallons of tbe copper sulphate solution and a certain number of the lime solu tion and mix tbem in . some suitable vessel. Mr. Swingle find that the more concentrated the two preparations are when poured together" the less satisfac tory will be the resulting mixture. Bor deaux mixture, when made from such concentrated preparations, is likely to be flaky and granular and will very soon settle. He recommends therefore that in making the mixture both the lime and the copper sulphate solution should be greatly diluted before bring ing tbem together. Mr. Swingle, would prepare what we ordinarily call the 60 gallon bordeaux mixture as follows : Di lute three gallons of tbe stock solution of copper sulphate with water to 20 or 25 gallons. In another vessel pour two gallons of the stock lime preparation and dilute this with uboot 15 gallons of water. Pour the copper sulphate solu tion and the lime preparation slowly to gether, and thf n stir thoroughly for two or three minutes with a long handled, broad blnded wooden paddle. It will be seen that this mixture contains six pounds of copper sulphate and four pounds of lime. Mr. Swingle suggests a simple meth od, which, if used when the first barrel of bordeaux mixture is made np, wonld answer until the stock copper sulphate solution and the stock lime are exhaust ed. Of course when a new supply of tbe stock preparations is made np it will be necessary again to test the first barrel of the mixture. All that is required to make the test , in an ordinary penknife and a piece of oniery paper. The knife blade is inserted for a couple of minutes in the mixture, and if there ia any free oopper present it will show as a thin film on the steel blade of the knife. If there is no free copper present the knife blade will not be tarnished. If the knife blade shows the presence of oopper, it Is only necessary to add a small quantity of lima The emery paper is used sim ply to remove the copper film from the knife blade. Half a minute's polishing with the paper will put the blade in condition for another test Soil MoUtare. At the last meeting of tbe Association of the Agricultural Colleges and Exper iment Stations Professor Card of Ne braska presented some facta concerning experiments last year at the station at Linooln. In October last it was found that soil which had been cultivated dur ing tbe entire season bad 20 per cent of moisture as compared with 17 per cent In that wbicb had been cultivated only in the early part of the season and 14 per cent in that which had been pas tured or mowed. Where the surface of the soil was mulched there waa more moisture near tbe surface, but little or uo effect was produced at lower depths. Contrary to what is commonly sup posed, comparatively little effect on the per cent of moisture was produced by either subsoiling or trench plowing as compared with ordinary plowing. A different result might be found in dif ferent soils. From tbe I art Coma Report. The number of people who own fheii farms is largest in the new states of the west, and the smallest number is in tbe south. This is due to tbe facilities which the cheap lands of the west and the homestead laws have given for ac-. quiring farms,'' On the other hand, the more prosperous states of the south have comparatively few farm mortgagps. The following is a table of tbe states having rhe mallt number of farm mortgages, with the percentage of farms under mortgr.ge : Florida, 3. 95 ; New Mexico, J. 99; Virginia, 8.16; Tennessee, 8.21; 3corgU, 8.28; Louisiana, 4.00; Ken ncky, 4.00; District of Colnmbia, 4.
