Horticultural Interests. At the meeting of the Northwestern Nebraska Horticultural society, held in Schuyler,although there were papers on many other subjects, the ones bearing upon the cultivation of fruits and all other sorts of trees, their cultivation, propagation and histories of successes or failures, held interest at all times G. A. Marshal of Arlington read a pa per on the “Need of Horticultural So cieties," which elicited a discussion upon apple trees, and there were many present who had failed to succeed with them and were full of questions to be answered by those who were success ful. The main complaints were of the failure to get trees to live, the experi ence of nearly all questioners toing that they could not get them to liva to exceed ten years, and the causes of this were best explained by J. S. Dunlap of Dwight, who demonsirated that more depended upon the subsoil than any thing else lie said that there were two subsoils that the roots of most ; trees would not penetrate. The first j he termed joint clay, a hard substance. 1 with black veins through it, stating j that apple tree roots would grow to and i spread over the surface of it, thus be- ! ing left with no moisture from which i to draw in season of drouth. Over this \ same joint clay, cherry trees would do well. The second he termed the con- ' Crete, stating that it existed in the l’latte valley in many places very near i the surface, at others deep down, and that when dry, or when used in the construction of roads, it was almost as hard and impenetrable as concrete. The death of shade and fruit trees in this vicinity having been mentioned, it was demonstrated that there was much of the concrete subsoil underlying the Dortion of the l'latte valley in this county, aud that in dryest time there lies very close under the subsoil an abundant supply of water.

The Fa-Arctic Explorer Talks About the He port From Nansen. VV a am.noton, Feb. 17.—The message from Archangel confirming the report of the return of Nansen, from the North pole, does not amount to a con firmation in the opinion of Ueueral Ureeley and of Lieutenant Scheutze. The latter, with the possible excep tion of Commodore Melville, who la temporarily absent from Washington, la better posted than any other official in Washington upon the characteris tic* of the North Siberian coast, which he has visited on a government mis sion, being charged with the distribu tion of rewards to the natives who aided the survivors of the unfortunate Jeanette expedition. 8aid he: “This confirmation from Archangel is as if we had a telegram from Portland, Me., confirming a story from Sandy Hook." Ueueral Ureely took a similar view, and held that it was inconceivable that the same atory should emanate from two places so remote from each other us are Irkutsk and Archangel. He knew of no way in which news of Nansen's approach to the mouth of the Lena delta should reach Archan gel. With the aid of a chart Ueueral Ureely indicated the great distance between the two places He showed that if it was really true that news of Ur. Nunsen's movements had reached the mouth of the luma and had so worked up the river to Irkutsk, then it was improbable that the same in formation could have reached Archan gel. Then, too, there was the same lack of detail itbout this last liiui.Cltoll t llU I Kill! I.uun nnln.l 1 .. iL. I first, ami this absence of even a bint of where Nansen was, or how he was communicated with, casts suspicion in his opinion on Isith reports. Arch angel, said General Greely, is a large and important Russian town, with good connections with the outer world, und if such news nad reached there, he saw no reuson why full de tails were not obtainable. ile called attention to unoiher point, that if Nauscu hud really emerged from the i'olar regions, any where off the Siberian coast theu be baa himself disproved the correctness of the theory upon which his expedition was embarked. It would show that instead of their existing a current across tlie |mjUi, there was a current that swept him un front the neighbor hood of lleuuelt island to the pole and thru turned back and returned him to his starting point General Ureely not unnaturally thought this state of affairs was hardly possible. Certainly there was no scleulitlc evi dence of the existence of such an obliging t-urrcul as this, aun, there fore, imlwithstanding the Arcliaugel story. General Greely stood unshaken la his dlstwlief la the return of Nan sen as described win as ii|»»n t it to vaairv.

WaiHiFOTOW, Feb. 15.— After a ten iaya* debate the House by a vote of M to 100 In committee of the whole rejected the Senate free coinage amendment to the bond bill and re ported the bill to the House with a recommendation to non-concur and lnalet on the House bill. The strength developed by the silver men was dis appointing. They had been conildently claiming over 100 votes. After two hours’ debate to-day the Anal vote will be taken. Mr. Dlngley will close for the majority and Crisp for the minority. WASBiseTOV, Feb. 16.—The public and private galleries of the house were thronged to-day in anticipation of the closing of the debate oa the Benate flee coinage and substitute for the bond bill. The attendance on the floor was also very large. At 5 p. in. the House rejected the Senate free silver substitute for the House bund bill by a vote of 216 nay* against 00 yeas. Mr. Crisp, of Oeorglu, representing free silver, said tills was an economic question and no mutter what views tbe members might have entertained in the past, lie assumed that in cast ing his vote to-dny each member would do so conscientiously ana in accord with the dictuses of his con vlctions. Mr. Crisp opened his argu ment proper with tiie fuuiiliar words: "in l-s}3 Congress demonetized silver.” At the very threshold of the subject, be *uld, this was denied and it was also denied that mi to !87ll we had had bimetallism in this country. He quoted llarou Kotlischihls statement that prices were regulated by the aggregate amount of the gold and silver circulation. Prices were fixed by the amount of primary money in the world. If the standard In England was gold, In France ■liver and in China •ilver, the measure of values would lie the combined amouut of both gold and ■ilver circulating as money. Money was the thing for whicii all contended and the sum of the demand for money was equal to the demand for all things else on earth, if a metal was made monev by law a demand for that metal would be created among all the peo ple and Its value would necessarily in crease with the increased demand. Here he read from statements made by Senator .Sherman in 1876 that the demonetization of silver had canoed a reduction of its price and had created a mad scruinble for gold on the part of England, France and Oerrnany, which had appreciated its price and had in duced a fall in prices throughout the world. That fall of prices, Mr. Crisp asserted, w»s largely due to the de monetization of silver. It was not the fall of prices that, was complained of, but the constant and steady fall of prices, due to the constant apprecia tion of gold. He read from Mr. Bal four's speech of the llth Inst., in the English Parliament, attributing the decline of agriculture in gold countries to the appreciation of gold and the artificial advantages it gave to silver countries. Mr. Balfour had declared also that the obstacles to reform came not from abroad but were put forward at home. Continuing, Mr. Crisp affirmed the ex istence of a well defined purpose by those in authority, both here and abroad, to depress the price of silver to prevent its remonetization. He cited the manner in which the Bland Allison not of 117s was executed, the coinageof the minimum amount under kilo nvb oii’i ivninm nn< uicnsui after a few months. t<» coin silver under the act of is'j.t He cited Sec retary Carlisle's refusal to give silver /or gold in lhyil, because the silver was needed for the redemption of the treasury notes, and ins course some mouths afterward in redeeming those notes in gold. “What kind of juggling is that?” Mr. Crisp asked, “What sort of friend ly treatment of silver W that?” (Ap plause ) < oiuing down to the question whether the United .States indepen dently could maintain with free coin age tlie parity between gold and sil ver, he said that there was no differ ence of opinion that it could be accom plished by an international agree ment As an historic fact l‘ ranee had maintained the parity for seveuty years. If four or five countries could maintain a parity it was conceded that law could afTn-t the result. How powerful must a state be, then, to affect ttiat result? In conclusion Mr Crisp iteelared that If the United State* would assert Us political and thiaudal indepen dence, prosperity would return aud eoutiuue the perpetual heritage of our people Mr. Crisp spoke an hour and a half, and was liberally applauded when be aat down Mr. Turner of tleorgla.
