Minneapolis dispatch: New wheat

good. Tho kernel Is hardly so plump as
last year, but It is centrally dry and free
of damage from rnlns and consoquen

there will be a smaller per cent of No. 1
hard, as much of it will go into tho 1 north

It is probnl lo, nowever, that it will bo

Treasurer Jordan says tho policy adopt
ed by tho treasury department to securo a
bettor circulation ol silver coin is meeting
with gratifying success. During tho month
of August just ended thoro was paid out
from the dilfereut sub-treasuries $1,007,-
144 in standard dollars and $1,405,002 In
fractional silver coin, which amounts were
argely in excess of tho Issue of sliver during
the corrcspondini: month of Inst rear. Mr.
Jordan says the withdrawal ol ono and
two dollar notes from circulation was
innilo necessary by tho rapid accumulation
of silver In tho sub'troasuries. It was ox-
pected In this way to croato a demand for
silver coin. That tho plan wns successful Is
shown by the largo output of silver during
tho past month, bo fnr no formal com
plaints or protests against tho withdrawal
of ono and two dollar notes have been
made. Applications have, however, been
received lor largo quantities oi small notes.
In each caso tho answer has simply been
made that the Issue of these notes has
been suspended for the present. Treasury
officials express themselves as much en
couraged by the present state of finances
anil predict an improvement in the gciurnl
liusiiiess ol tho country.
Ono of tho effects of the withdrawal of $1
add $2 notes ft am circulation is shown in
tho Increased demand on tlio treasury for
S5 and S10 bills. It has been found neees
nary to transfer a laru'O amount of these
notes to .New torn. They wero tnKcn mere
v it special committee of treasury clerks.
Treasurer Jordan prefers this method of
ransportation whore largo amounts nro
moved.
The caso ot John H. Dlckerson, ex-super-
lutondcut ot tho Washington pension build
ing, charged with stealing a ling, was before
tho court, lint tho government failed to
prove Its charge. Dlckerson was acquitted.
Adjt.-Gen. Drum is authority for tho
tateiucut that there is no foundation
whatever lor the published report that an
tagonism exists between Secretary Endl
rott and Liout.-Gon. Sheridan. He Bays
their relations are ol the pleusuutest char
acter; that nothing nl nn official nature
has occurred to make thorn otherwise.

J7ie Ultimatum Venpatched to tirrmany.
Madrid dispntck; Tho polico and troops
showed by their good humor yesterday
that they sympathized with tho rioters.
Tho government and royalist organs only
aro timid and urge moderation. Tho anti
German movement is genuino nnd popular
among all classes. Tho polico Saturday
afforded only feeblo resistance to tho nt
tacks on the German embassy, whero all
tho windows wero smashed. At midtiightn
procession of 40.000 men pnraded the
streets, receiving cheers everywhere, espe
cially at tho military and naval clubs.
Over 5,000 troops turned out to prosorve
order. Increased discontent has prevniled
to-duy because tho government withheld
the decision of tho council. Tho opinion ol
tlio mob is that tho government hesitates
to sever relations with Germany. Count
Ucnouinr, Spanish ambnssndor at Ilcrlin,
telegraphs that Count Von llatzfeldt, Ger
mnn foreign minister, declares that the
Gcrmnn gunboat wns forbidden to hoist
tho German ling whero the Spanish flag
floated, nnd hopes that tho incident will
not interfere with negotiations of cordiality
between tho two nations as Germany
would havo prevented any occupation ol
tho Carolines if it had been possible tn com
municato witli German cruisers after the
receipt ol the Spanish note claiming the
island.
A council of ministers, with tho sanction
of King Alfonso, has been formed and dis
patched to tho German government ns nn
ultimatum, requesting Germany to evacu
ate the Caroline islands. Spain will refrain
from a material occupation of tlio islands
and thus afford basis for further parleying.
Total number of arrests mado hero in con
nection with the demonstration against
Germany is 18-1.
Tho German consul at Valparaiso re
ceived tho same treatment at tho hands ol
the populaco as tho German embassy nt
Madrid.
Count Von Hatzfelt in his statements to
Count Ilcnomau regnrding orders given
German gunboat nt .Meant that gunboat
had been forbidden to hoist tho German
Hag whero the Spanish had already been
hoisted, he said thedisobeyancoof tho com
mander of tlio gunboat would not nffect
the situation.
Dispatches just rend regnrding tho Ger
man occupation of Yap stato that Span
iards on the island had hoisted tlio Spanish
ll'ig and had lowered it at sunsot for tho
night, ns is customary, and that immedi
ately afterwards the German gunboat ran
into the harbor and landed marines nnd
sailors, hoisted tho Gcrmnn colors and
formally occupied tho plaeo despite protes
tations Irom the bpnnlards.

FA YOKING PURE FOOD.
Commissioner Column's Address to tho
Agricultural Chemists.
XUtublUliiiiciit or lUctlioda for Detec
tion of Adulteration.
frauds I'ritctlcctl Upon the I'ublte.
Tho association of official agricultural
chemists met lu agricultural convention at
tho department of agriculture, Washington,
on the 1st, tho vice-president, Prof. II. C.
White, of Georgia, in the chair. Mr. Col
umn, commissioucrof agriculture, delivered
mi address in which, alter declaring his en
tiro sympathy and that of tho farmers ol
the country in tho object of tho association,
hich is to secure uniform analysis of fer
tilizers, ho expressed the hopo that tho
association would extend its deliberations
to the methods of chemical analysis. Ho
thought tho association should also fix n
standard of purity for dilfereut. kinds of
food and establish methods tor tho detec
tion ot adulterations. Ho thought the
general government might to co-operate
with tho respective stato governments in
passing tho most sti iiigeut laws against thu
adulteration ot food.
"In so simple a matter as the adultera
tion of milk it would be hard to secure
conviction in a court of justice for any
person practicing it, because of the absence
of any official standard by means of which
the extent ol tho adulteration could lie
measured. It should not only be tlie ob
ject of the chemical control of agriculture
that abundant crops should lie produced,
but also to see that products of tho tlelds
should be delivered to the commisMouers
free of any cheap or deleterious adultera
tion. In tho (liiestionnf food adulteration,
I havo long been givat'y interested mid nm
anxious that nonr' (-tens may be taken by
means of which the ej.tont of it maybe
diminished, I have already directed the
chouiist of this department to give atten
tion to the adulteration of foods. The
frauds that aro practiced upon the public
lu adding cheap and harmful ingre
dients to food wo cat in order tn
make greater profits, ought to bo exposed
in no uncertain way and tho perpetrator
of them held up before tho public ns oh-
ccts ol ecorn and detestation. To sum
an extent is tho adulteration ot butter and
manufacture of the counterfeit article car
ried on that tho great dairy interests of
our nation are now almost prostrate.
"ine Honest producer ol a pure article is
mpovcrished. while the uiauufncturtrs of
und dealers in the fraudulent article are
enriched, some ol them having become mil
lionaires liy this Illegitimate work. The
same may bo said in relation lo tho adul
teration of our sugar und syrups. "
At the conclusion of Mr. Column's ad
dress, reports of committees unpointed ut
me lust meeting ol tnoassociationuiion the
best method of determining phosphoric
add nnd potssh in fertilizers, were read
and debated. Prol. T. S. Gladding rud u

it has been deemed ndrisablo to make
other rules in relation to the regulations
heretofore made on tho subject. One ot the
new rules provides that "all immigrants
arriving at ports ot the United States
shall not be reenrded as in fact landed
within the meaning ol theeecond section ol
the act referred to so long ns they are un
dergoing the examination of tho commis

ment as incidental to such examination
shall not bo considered ns landing until
such officers shall have discharged audi im
migrants or returned them on shipboard
Cattle on tlio Motc.
Reports received nt the war department
from tho Indian territory indicate thut tho
terms of tho president's proclamation in
regard to tho removal of cattle is being
fully complied with; that tho cattlemen are
moving tho cattlo ns rapidly ns possible
As long ns thonuthoritiesarc satisfied that
the cattlemen nro acting in good faith in
tlio matter nnd using diligenco in moving
the herds no interference will be allowed;
but if it is found that they unnecessarily
prolong tho departure and wilfully disre
gard the proclamation United States
troops will be ordered to drivo them and
their cattle from the territory.
The Galveston News' Dallas special snys
Col. Herring, of tho Dominion Cattlo com
pany, just in from tho Indian territory,
says that all the cattle have been removed
from tho territory in conformity with Pres
ident Cleveland's proclamation except a few
that may have strayed oil during tho
round-up.
Vegetation on the Karth.
Tho densely-luxuriant tropical plants,
with their lofty palms nnd wilderness of
creepers ; tho more open woods of oak,
elm or pine, and tho plains of grass or
heather of tomporato climes; tho mosses
and lichens of tho far north, and tho
millions of minuto nlg:o on fields of
snow ; tho enormous masses of marine
plants, and tho multitudinous green
threads of every pond or rivulet, aro
ono and all continually engaged during
tho hours of daylight in tearing from
tho atmosphere its carbon, and in suck
ing from Iho earth or sea its water
(with tho mineral substances dissolved
in it), in order to build up now masses
of organio substanco from theso purely
inorganic materials. Tho quantity of
living matter thus daily formed may bo
truly termed enormous. Tho dry land
of tho earth's surface is estimated at
22,392,'130 squaro miles. Lotus assume
that of this 15,000,000 squaro miles (or
n littlo over two-thirds) aro clothed with
vegetation negleoting altogether tho
vegetation of tho ocean and let
but tho 8G5th part of an inch
bo tho growth of this sur
faco daily, nnd every year will bo
formed a moss ono inch thick and 15,
000,000 squaro miles in extent, which
would make a solid cubo of vegetablo
matter about fifteen miles in extent in
each dimension. It is thus no wonder
that wo should havo accumulations of
vegetable debris in tho form of coal in
somo parts of tho world (as in Pennsyl
vania), which may bo in alternating
beds seventy feet in thickness, and ex
tending over an area Wger than that of
Yorkshire. Tho wonder, ot first sight,
is rather that tho sizo of tho solid earth
does not, in succeeding ages, notably
increaso at tho oxpenso of its fluid and
aeriform matter. But fast as organic
matter is thus accumulated by so enor
mous and incessantly acting a manu
factory, its fabric is nevertheless much
liko tho web of Penelope; for close up
on lifo follows death, nnd with tho death
of nil organisms, their substanco (by
decomposition) returns again for tho
most part (as water, carbonic acid, am
monia and various gases, etc.,) to that
organio world whouco it wns originally
derived.
Youth.
There is nothing liko youth. Tho
stuisliino streams upon tho flowers.
Tho blood rushes wildly through tho
veins. Tho air is full of music, and
echoes of happy laughter aro borno on
every breezo. All the world seems
wrapped in golden mist, and hope, n
white-winged angel, shines in tho rosy
heaven of tho futuro. For ago, tho
rustle of the dead leaves I For sorrow,
tho wail of tho autumn wind, tho sad
November twilight, and tho lonesomo

Rock Springs (Wyoming) special: The
riotous outbreak made here yesterday by
white men against the Chinese rn!nei Is
much more serious than was nt first re

malo or female, left in the plnco, and things
look extremely desolate for the heathen to
day. Kvery building occupied by Chinese
people has been reduced to ashes, and sev

At a lato hour this afternoon fifteen
charred bodies bad been recovered from
tho ruins, and it is believed there nro still
many more. One woman nnd a child wero
shot. All of the others fled for their lives
into the surrounding hills nnd mountains.
A largo force of men lias been out all day
gathering them up nnd taking every ono
they could find toEvnnston.a point thirty
miles west of hero. At this writing every
thing is quiet, but only becauso there aro
no Chinnmcn to bo seen by the rioters.
The first difliculty aroso over a quarrel
between two white men nnd a Chineso
miner In No 0 Rlinft. vcatordnv nfternoon,
as to which should occupy a certain work
room in tho mine. Tho two white men
came clown into town from tho town, armed
themselves, and swore that they would see
who wero going to rulo tho camp, whito
men or Cliinnmen'. When told tho other
whito men what had occurred, not more
than thirty minutes elapsed before thcro
wero at least 125 in the party, nrmeci to
tho eyo-teeth with guns and revolvers, and
they marched townrd the mines.
Somebody had given the Chinamen warn
ing nnd very soon they collected in gangs
oi no nnd 100, tnlking wiiuiy ami iiying
about in tho most excited and disorderly
nianner. For a time they undertook to
stand ngal ist nnd show defiance to the
mob that wns going for them, but being un
armed they soon discovered that this
would not do. As the mob approached
and tho Cliinnmen saw them, there watf i'
scattering for tho hills nnd such u flying in
tho air of queues ns marked their flight has
novcr before been witnessed on this conti
nent. A hundred or more shots were fired
nftcr them by the white men, but without
serious effect, except as stated beforo to
ono woman and n child, who wero hit in tho
buck and instantly killed.
Then tho mob, which by this time had
beenmo wild and reckless in its desires to
clean out tho celestial race entirely, turned
its nttcntion to the qiinrters in which they
lived. Every building occupied by China
men, about 100 in all, was set fire too and
burned. Forty-four of theso buildings be
longed to tho Union Pacific Railway com
pany, nnd tho balance wero poorly con
structed frnmo nhnntics. In them at the
timo wero many feeble men nnd women,
Bomo of whom, though hardly able to move,
mannged to escape, but it is believed that
thero are not less than twenty-five or thirty
who wero ronsted.
Sheriff Young, of Green River, is hero with
a posso of deputies, but ns yet no arrests
havo been made. However, thepresence of
tho sheriff and his men, has been the mennB
of preserving order and quietness to-day.
Division Superintendent Dickenson and
Division Superintendent Murtle of the Un
ion Pncific, nro both here. They have been
sending food all day to tho starving China
men in tho hills. It is believed that the
Cliinnmen will never come back to work in
theso mines. The final outcomo ot this af
fnir remains to bo Been. Many of these
Cliinnmen havo been hero ut work for ten
years, and thia is tho first trouble of any
kind.

the governor rclativo to the status ot
pleuro-pncuraonla in other states. On this
a proclamation of quarantine will bo based.
Tho report says:
We beg leave to report that wo have re
ceived reliablo information to theeffectthat
tho disenso known as contagious pleuro
pneumonia among cattlo now exists and is
epidemic in the following named localities,
viz.: Tho counties ot Now York, Rich
mond, Kings, nnd Queens, in the stato ol
New York: tho counties of Bergen, Passaic,
Essex, Union, Hunterdon, Camden, Burl
ington, Hudson, nnd Middlesex, in the
stato of New Jersey; tho counties of Balti
more and Princo George's in tho stato ol
Maryland; tho county of Fairfax in Vir
ginia; tho county of Harrison In Kentucky;
tho county of Montgomery in Ohio; the
county of Madison in Tennessee, and
tho District of Columbia. We there
fore recommend that you issuo your
proclamation, scheduling such infected lo
calities, and absolutely prohibiting tho im
portation of cattlofrom bucIi infected local
ities into the state of Illinois, according to.
tho law entitled "An net to revise tho law
in relation to thesupprcssion of contagious
and infectious diseases among domestic an
imals." The commission also recommends thut
the governor establish a conditional quar
antine against all tho states of Now Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky,
Ohio and Tennessee, nnd also that portion
of tho stato of Pennsylvania east of the
Allegheny mountains, and that part of the
state of Now York south of tho Mohawk
river and cast of the Chenango river, pro
vided that cattlo shipped shnll be accom
panied by proper health certificates. Tho
commission also recommends, on account
of Texas fover, tho exclusion of all cattle
south of tho thirty-sixth parallel of lati
tude, such exclusion to bo in force between
tho 1st of April and tholst of November.
Tho report is signed by Commissioners
Pearson and McChesney, but Mr. Smith
files the following dissenting communica
tion: In view of tho great extent of tho traffic
in cattlo between this and tho state of Mis
souri, I am reluctant to commend any re
strictions upon that traffic which nro not
absolutely required by tho necessities of
the case; but tho conditions in that state
aro such that I cannot at present consent
to the cntiro removal of restrictions from
the infected county of Galloway and tht
adjoining counties of Audrian, Montgom
ery, Osage, Colo and Boone. I therefore
respectfully dissent from my colleagues so.
far as theso counties in tho state of Mis
souri aro concerned, but join with them in
tho other recommendations above.

Henderson has ju6t successfully completed a
ease In North Carolina which Is unique In tho
history of mall stealing. Two boys, George
H. Eagle, aged 17, and Jcthro Almond, age
IS, the former a mall carrier, tho latter an r
mall carrier from Salisbury to Albemarle, are
the culprits. Last May complaints were re
eclved that registered letters from the polnti
named seldom reached their destinations,
l'ostofllce Inspector Henderson, was detailed
to work up ihc cose, and last month he di.
covered a clue which led him to suspect the
mall carrier, young Eagle. Several decoy let
Liters were scut, and they wero stolen and
l'ale was arrested, tut uo traceof the money
could bo found u0ii his person. The theory
of a confederate was determined on, and from
his Intimacy with the boy, Almond was shad
owed. From a conversatl n overheard be
tween Almond and his lather asto hiding the
stolen inoncv, ho was arrested and the monei
sent In tho decoy letters and other money U
tho extent of $.00 was found upon his person.
As soon as Almond's arrest was known
Eagle took his mall horse aud fled. The In
spectors were placed ou his track and he waa
arrested In Arkan as. Upon the Al non.i
boy was found a complete set of toils In a
small box, with which they opened tho mi:i
louches. A jack knife had been converted
into a saw with which tho boys sawo.l the riv
ets, aud two o'.d ruty pieces of iron with
which they sube mently welded them to;eth
er. A bottle of mucllcre was alo In ft, which
was used to glue the ends of the letters to
gether after thev w re Titled. Bo expert had
the bots become lu tt elr business that no sus
picion of their being thieves wa entertained
uv the local postmasters along the route,
ihlch was thirty miles long and through a
densely woo Jed country. It was In this
woods tho pouches were opened. So expert
were they that It did not take more than thir
ty minutes to rlile the entire pouch and then
tlx It again. Not since May has a register. J

what was opened. The aggr. gate sum stolen
Is large. In the poikets of Kagle when ar
rested were the lives of Jack Sheppard and
Jesse James. Inspector Henderson savs that
for such oung men Eagle and Almond prom
ised to be tho most expert mall thieves In the
country, and they covered up their tracks UKe
old veterans In the business.
