It seems that the general, with a numer ous company of embassador and consul, had been to a grand dinner at Naples. The flow of wine had been quite as noticeable as that of tbe itoul, hut the general and his friend were moderate in their libations, and left early, intending to take a slight walk before going to bod. Arm in arm tbey wan dered tranquilly along until they came to the principal wjunre of the city, Now, in this square woa an obcIUk, planted, as the general knew, very llnnly upon 1U base.

Consider the dis grace to our reopectlve foreign offices If we were found hi tbe streets of Naples in this condition." So, with due regard to their supposed condition, the general and his friend care fully felt tbelr way along, holding on to the railings.

SUMMBU RESORTS SWEPT AWAY. Cities Under Water and Fariotig Destruction at Soa. New York, Aug.24. A West Indian oyolone, which swept over this part of the Atlantic coast and this morning, on its way to tbe New England coast, left Its marks over tho region around New York, wKh a sweep of fully 1000 miles. Rainfall measuring 3.82 inches during tho last twelvo hours Is the 8overeot that has evor been recorded by local service. Many ships are waiting outside for the wind to sub side. Through dragging of anchors of escaping ships In the bay and North river, more than fifty cables of West ern Union Telegraph Co. are now lying useless at the bottom of tho river. The ravages ot the storm are no less severe on land. Of 75 wires to Washington only 13 are standing. Railroad travel is seriously interrupted. Bummer re sorts sufiered severely from high seas. In Brooklyn nearly every street in the olty is .covered with debris from trees. The police report at least 10 houses unroofed. During bight of tbe storm a policeman found tbe body of a dead man lying In a peddler's wagon on Whipple street, the wagon filled with water and the man was floating arouud. In New Jersey the storm was most severely fait and re ports of damage more or less serious aro coming in, They are meagre on accou nt of prostration of wires. Streets at Ellsabetbport are under water to a depth of two or three feet and people float about on rafts to get to work. From coast news is particularly vague.

The chairs In which tbe 13 men bad sat and listened to tho story that was to result in either life or death for one hu man lielnir were nlled and strewn about.

Latest U. S.Govt Report jmx ABSOLUTELY PURE TOE HOP SITUATION. Meeker & Go.'s Circular Advising Growers. ENfiUSll AND GERMAN MARKETS. Interesting &w Important In formation for All. Puyallup, Aug. 24. As thoBoaeoa for tbe hop harvest approaouoa, it is well to review tbe situation, to "put our bouses in order" for tbe Inevitable struggle coming to save the crop, and take into account tho factors governing the markets and honce the final remit. Statistically the situation is very strong, and so It was last year, and yet tbe market "slumped" and growers wondered why, and blamed buyers for tbe drop In prices. Tho cause for this decline Is not difficult to find. 1st. Tbe quality was defective, caused by early picking and the rav ages of lice. 2d. Large blocks of tbe crop of the Pacific slope were consigned by growers to be sold on commission in London which depressed tbe price, and always -will, "wlieBTHCh business J done. If thero is anything an Englishman exeels In, commercially, it Is in shrewd buy ing. Let him know by the cablo that bops sufficient are consigned, from which to purchase bis supplies, he sim ply awaits tbelr arrival, knowing full well that such are well nut of the way of a competing market and will have to be sold at substautiully his own price, buob was tbe situation last year and we warn tbe bop growers of tbe Paolflo coast that such will Le the case for this or any future year If a similar policy ia pursued. TUB REMEDY. The remedy lies primarily in tho pro duction of a better quality. Relatively, last year California stood at the head of the lists as to quality. Oregon next, and Washington laat.but neither of the two latter states produced tbo quality equal to their best and may uever reasonably expect a high price with inferior quali ties. It lies with tbe growers themselves to govern the question of quality, 1st. Let your bops mature before picking. 2.1. Pick them clean. 3d. Cure thorn at a low temperature and thorough, and 4tb. Bale at once before the bops have4!mo to tako In moisture (toughen) and bate them whole; this last cannot be done where tho hopi aro trampei into tbe bale. MAHKKTINCl, Keep your hops within reach of tbe competition of both markets; that of tbe United Btatee as well as of Eng land aud buyers will come to you, If you don't rush out after them. This' firm never speculates in bops and never consigns upon their own acceunt, but always sell by samples, twfore th bops are shipped. CHOI'S. NotwlthUaAlg the uafedented drouth in EBglaad aad lb early seyen attack of vermis, the cb! from our own correspondent reports tbe estimate of the wop at 260,000 old duty, or sub stantially tbe same as last year, CtMS.

Baking Powder Germany has fared worse, and report from many districts are to the effect that tbe crop Is almost a total failure. Nevertheless, i u others it k good. Con servative estimates place the crop 60 per cent of that of last year, which will bring the crop below the average, and with but fow If any hops to spare for the English market. THE UNITED 8TA.TJ39. Now York will produce less bops than last year probably 80 per cent, of last year's crop. This shortage will be sub stantially made up by the Increased yield of the PaclQo slope from last year's acreage first coming into full bearing and new hops planted the present year. HOME MARKET. Bo, upon the whole, tho situation, aa we have said, statistically is a very strong nne. Let not growers, from that known fuot, deceive themselves into the expectation of very high priees, or allow others to deceive them. Our Mrs E. Meeker, who is now In the East, has met many in tbe trade who firmly believe that the fluanclal.dletreee is cer tain to force bops. to a low price (as it baa already forced other produce down), particularly at harvest time, when the grower Is in need of harvest funds. Tbe same factor, on tbe other side, prevents free optMtlons of dealers or free pur chases from consumers, hence a re stricted, slow oomestio trado is ex peeled. FOKKIUN MAIUCKTa. England will want a large block of our bops, if suited to tbelr wants, var. lously estimated from sixty to one hun dred thousand bales. Tbe English buy er will wait for samples, or for arrived bops, knowing full well from all past experlence;tbat bis sovereigns will fetch them sooner or later ono way or anoth er. It rests with the grower to say whether bis bops shall bo sold at homo and the monoy paid blm at home, or in a foreign country by parties whom be cannot know or control aud who, how ever honest are, subject to the 'aws of trado, that bo who ruus after a buyer must need suffer in price.
