'that purpose.
Tho explosion made two btg holes In

THE NATIONAL TREASURY.
Rabakar's ftaport or the run mi Car.
. "" ...
vashiwotow, nov. so. in ireaiinrer
ef the lnitcd States, Mr. E. H. Nebekcr,
has submitted his annual report for the.
year ended Juno 80, 1893, The net or
dinary revenues ot tho government for
the fiscal year wero 9904,987,784, a de
crease of 137,074,00:1 as compared with
tho year before. Tho net ordinary ex
pcnditurcH wero 3471,02.1,030, decrease
of 110,840,854. The surplus revenues
were thus cut down from M7,289,72 to
9,011, 43. Including the nubile debt,
tho total receipts for'Hha year wero
$780,401 ,200 and the expenditure M84,
010,289, ., '
Considered with respect to the effect
upon thtf treasury tho receipts are di
vided Into two general classes, of which
tho first, comprising tho ordinary reve
nues, tho rccclptn from loans, and the
deposits fpr the retirement of national
bunk notes, hicreano from the time tho
cash nvallable for tho nseaTof the gov
ernment, while tho second, arising from
tho Issue of gold, silver
and , currency ccrtlfloates.UnlUxl
States notes and treasury
notes, tend to swell tho assets' of tho
treasury but do not affect tho avnllablo
balance, .For the first of 'these classes
the figures show nn oxecssof 188,000,000'
of cxcndlturcs over revenues in 1801,
and ono of upwards of $27,000,000 in
1892. In tho second class there was an
excess of nearly $89,000,000 of receipts
in the former year and ono of $80,000,000
In the latter. As compared with 1891
there was n saving of upward of $141
000,000 ot Interest, out of which a sur
plus wns realized, notwithstanding tho
cuttlugdown of revenues by legislation.
Analyzing tho truo condition of tho
treasury and sotting asldo the trust
funds, the treasurer shows that thero
was u working balance of cash and de
posits In banks amounting to $207,110,
4S2 nt tho beginning of tho year and to
$105,718,151 ut the end. Of tho former
amount $110,000,000 and of tho latter
$114,500,000 was gold, Tho success
which has attended the efforts of tho
department to maintain a strong gold
reserve is considered satisfactory, in
view of tho heavy disbursements. Tho
"amount of tho public debt is given at
$1,545,000,501 on Juno 30, 1801, an
$1,588,404,144 on Juno SO, 1802.
The loans resting on tho credit of tho
United States were cut down from $!".-
005,800,500 to $908,il8,840f while those
secured by full duposlls in tho treasury
increased from $540,100,031 to $020,245,
801. There was u gratifying Improve
inent in tho condition of tho dobt, pro
duced by tho reduction of the interest
bearing loans, tho conversion of ma
tured bonds Into others payable at the
option of tho secretary ot tho treasury,
and tho extinction of a considerable
part of tho loans payablo on demand.
Tho total net reduction of $87,587,720 In
theso items wus effected by the applica
tion of the surplus revenues of the year,
amounting to nearly $10,000,000, to
gether with upward of $27,000,000 takon
from tho cosh In tho treasury.
According to tho rovlied estimates
tho total stock of money of all kinds in
the country on Juno 80, was $2,374,434,
040, an increase of $150,000,000 in the
year. By eliminating that 'part of tho
paper currency whlab Is purely repre
sentative, consisting bf certificates of
deposit and treasury notes, tho effect
ive stock 1b found to have been $1,753,
050,745, an iucrcuao ot $70,000,000.
Tho monetary history ot tho past
year, however, has been peculiar, both
In tho movements of gold, which huvo
been Incraased nnd in tho other changes
that commonly occur with tho changes
of tho honsmis. but have been this year
been less murla-u. The incrcaso of tho
ciTcctlvu stock of inonoy from Septem
ber to September was only $50,000,000.
Dtneuhsing tho changes In thu amount
und composition of tho money stock,
thu treasurer Bays that tho Increase
which marked tho flscul year was
tho result of tbe production ot
nearly etr,000,boo 'of gold' da ox-?
com of the industrial- consumption, a
fresh ihsuo of $5,000,000 of national
bank notes, together with tho changes
in thu stock of silver. Tho gold ox
ported between January und September
was taketi mostly from thu sub-lreusury
In New York Up to tho end of Juno
tho withdrawals wero ruado by tho pres
entation of gold certificates, but from
that tlmo on to the cessation ot ship
nieuth, mostly upon tenders of United
Stutes notes und treasury notes.
Of tho aggregate stock of money at
the end of tho fiscal year $771,25J,S13
was in thu treasury and mints, leaving
$1,003,031,730 in tho hands of tho people.
Tho holding of tho treasury Increased
$50,000,000 und thu umouut In circula
tion eiiH,O0O,u00 during tho year.
Satisfactory changes have been ef
fected in thu coudlt'ion ot tho fractional
silver cblnugo through the liberal ap
propriations of thu past two years for
this purpose. There hus been u alight
decreuso in the amounts of counterfeit
silver coins and paper currency pre
sented ut tho Ucosury offices.
Thero was an Increabo of $009,000 in
tho amount of United States bonds held
for thu security of national bank cir
culation und u decreuso of $10,000,000
in thu amount h held for tho security of
national bank circulation, and a de
crease' of $10,000,000 iu the amounts
held us security for public deposits. A
total uddltlon ot $1,00-1,000 was made to
tho par value ot tho securities compos
ing tho l'o&iilo railaoad sinking funds.
In proportion to thu volume of national
bank notes in circulation tho redemp
tions continue heavy, having amounted
to upward ot $08,000,000 In tho fiscal
year.
Tho shipments of United States paper
currency umountcd tw $.170,720,533, ex
ceeding those of any provious year. The
nearest approach to this total was $310,-
000,000 In tho year before, and tho next
nearest $291,000,000 in 1803. Of the
whole umouut $2U8,000,000 took the
place of lllto kinds and umounts des
troyed, while $78,000,000 consisted of
fresh Issuas.

Prrrsnunoii, Vn., Nor. 24. Tho trial
of Sylvester Crltchlow, charged with
triurdcf In connection with tho Homo
stead riot, was, brought to a close last
evening by1 tho jury bringing in a ver
dlct of acquittal. Owing to tho hour
at which court convened thero wore
not many persons present when tho
Jury filed In. Tho prisoner was not re
leased, ho having yet to answer tho
charge of riot
When court convened yesterday At
torney Marshall delivered his address
for tho defense. Ho wns followed by
District Attorney llurlelgli, who closed
the enso for thd prosecution. During
his speech ho said: "You mnst tnko
tho law tti tho court will glvo It to you.
Tltc dofenso states he was not on the mill
property that dny. If this Is true, why
In tho uama of common sense don't they
stand on that ltnc If this is true, why
is all this time wasted in talking about
an armed Invasion of the sacred soil;
why was tho tlmo tnken to arguo tho
rights of labor? If Crltchlow wus not
thero that day why need he care in hia
dofenso to show who first fired tho
shots, or anything olso? Tbo fact that
thoy went outside of tho alibi and at
tempted to justify the murder, shown,
that they havo no weight in their plea
of alibi. If ho was not there that day
why need ho caro who commenced tho
trouble or who owned tho property? If
ho was not thero ho clearly is not
guilty, and were this plea of alibi hon
est thoy would stand on It alone.
"I say Crltchlow was in tho mill ynrd
when Connor was shot Six disinter
ested witnesses swear tho defendant
was In tho mill ynrd that dny with a
gun. If It was Harrison Crltchlow who
was In tho mill yard that dny, and. who
iho defense nays was mistaken for tho
defendunt, why did not thoy produca
him? Why did not they put him on
tho stand und lot him swear ho was tho
man who was mistaken for the defend
ant? Had they done this wo couldviot
havo gotten over it It would havo'
ended our case."
Mr. Ilurleigh devoted over half an
hour to tho question of alibi and
claimed tho witness for tho defense who
attempted to prove an alibi had not
told tho truth.
At thu close of tho district attorney's
address, Mr. Erwln asked that tho de
fense be allowed an exception to the
truthfulness
of the followlnir: "That
the Plnkcrtons wont under uny sheriff t
or officer; that Lovcjoy or Potter had
any right to enter upon said property;
that the pcoplo opposing tho landing
wero ill advised; that they expected to
meet the nherlff by appointment and
we ask tho court io so charge."
Judge Kennedy, In his charge to the
jury, said: "In answer to tho request ot
tho counsel for tho dofenso just as we
closed before recess, I will' say, you
must not take tho statements of coun
sel unless thesu statements aro war
ranted by tho evidence."
Tho court then defined murdor nnd
lta various degrees and what constituted
each of tho grades. Referring to riot,
tho judge said: "A riot Is tho tumultuous
assembling of three or inoro persons for
nn unlawful purpose, und all persons
who aro present nnd not attempting to
suppress It aru prima facie participants
and principals, und any ono who joins
tho rioters after thoy aro assembled is
equally guilty. Thero aro no aiders or
abettors; all aro principals and nil
guilty of tho acts ot such riots. When
killing is done in pursunueo of a com
mon design all nre guilty of tho murder.
If there is ovidonco that tho rioter had
dotcrinimiilto take life In order to carry
but their object all are guilty of "murder
in tho first degree; "
"If the jury bo satisfied that tho1 de
fendant took part In tho riot of July 0,
which resulted in tho death of T. J.
Connor, nnd that It was tho common in
tent of such rioters to resist thu land
ing ot these men on tho barges to tho
extent of taking life, then ho is guilty
of murder in tho first degrco, as aro ail
who took part iu such riot If yqu be
lieve that thero was no malice, that tho
killing wns done in tho heat of combat,
then you convict him of manslaughter.
If you believe theso rioters 'met for a
common purpose, to resist this landing,
but not tho extent of, taking life, then
a verdict of murder In tho second do
greo could bo rendered."
The court then rendered tho defini
tion ot alibi und tho clososcrullny
which should bo given to It "The de
fendant Is entitled to all reasonable
doubt, a reasonable, fair doubt nrlslug
out of tho evidence submitted, not from
anything ontaldo tho case."
He closed at 3:25 and tho jury re
tired Crltchlow, however, wns hold on tho
ehargo ot riot Ho will probably bo
granted ball to-day.

Romk, Nov. 95. An important litter
from tho Vatican, dealing with Amort i
can matters, lias been dispatched to
Moqsignor Satolll, iho papal obligate
now in the United Srates.
The consistory has been delayed, the
pope desiring before It is held to con
clude tho negotiations with France,
and perhaps also to finish a work on
the general situation.
Monslgnor F.lrley, vlcnr-goneral i)i
Now York, durlnghls recent vlsltsto.
Rome, saw tho pope and t.cvcrnl card
inals and was told that hts holiness
keenly desires that all disputes in tho
church In America shall cease, and that
Mouslgnor Satnlll's .mission to tills end'
may succeed. Monslgnor Farley sailed
from Liverpool for New York Wednes
day. Tho Vatican has been much im
pressed liy thd fact that the now Fari
bault commission has mulnlaluud tho
contract with Archbishop Irelnud.
Tho Ocrinan and Austrian, unbnn-,
sudors havo mado strong representa
tldils toTCiirdlnnl RaTTTp"o1lt,papaI sccro-
tnry of state, on the language of the Vat
ican journals. When, commenting on
tho Chicago fetes, they "dilated bn tho
democratic policy ofjtlio pope, 'the am
bassadors explained ythat thcuhurch
papers so strongly favored republican
( ideas that there wns danger that their
, ttdvocaoy of theso Ideas would tem,to
If osier In Europe tho democratlo propa
gnnda. '
Despite these representations to the
1 vntlcan, that these papers huvo do

icles highly, sympathetic with 'the
United States, Leo XIII. rests immova
ble in his designs. Tho Monlteur dq
Rome makes emphatic declaration to
thnt effect
It has already, beon stated In theso
dispatches that his holiness secludes
I himself In his apartments, working
over Important matters. 4 He is under
stood to bo chiefly preoccupied with af
fairs of international policy.
Every day finds him meditative and
absorbed. Concurrent advices point to
Ids dealing with political developments
of the first consequence,
I Further communications havo been
received at tho Vatican from the (ler
mun and Austrian governments aiming
at obtntnlng tho" inlluonco ofx tho 'holy"
see In luturposlng between France nm
Russia.' It Is said that England will
play un important role as mediator,
with a view of bringing about tho iso
lation of Russia. It is' certaih that
Grand Duke Scrgtus has arrived in
Rome to see the pope nnd Is there to in
duce him to support a combination in
the interests of Russia und Pan-Slavism.
Ills holiness is pleased with tho

national monetary congress. Lending
financiers havo been Invited and tho nf
fair will lie very brilliant. A gout deal
of lobbying Is going ton amon tho del
egates, thoso of'oiievlew ou tho subject
of bimetallism trying to win over the
others. The result seems to bo In En
glish hands. ...
A dclt'guto who favors bimetallism
says that Franco, Itolgiiim, Switzerland,
Austria, Russia, tho United States und
India, Jill holdlnglargo 'stocks nf silver,
would bo only too pleased to j6lu with
Oreat ltrltain In establishing a bimetal
lic union. Germany would havo no mo
tiro for remaining outside, Ejvpt and
tho English colonies would follow En
gland's lead und alt tlw Smith
Amerloun states, if only from con
siderations of convenience, would runge
themselves In line. . It Is no exaggera
tion to say that' if England would lead
tho wnjf n world-wldo bimetallic union?
could be formed with moretc3so than'
tho existing jjfrbrlil-vylde postal union?
Tho Oormans seemed Inclined to follow
tho load of Great II rl tain. They bay
that Germany Is not immediately Inter
ested in tho rehabilitation of silver, and
they arguo that, although owlug to an
oversight her great currency reform
did not includo a largo stock of
silver thalers, about 100,030,000 in
number, which, if put into circulation,
would, ntill constitute legal tender, no
pi ac Ileal dlfilcAilty has arisen from this
omission. Thu general growth ot tho
population and tho normal demand for
a silvor currency would, It Is hold, on
ablo tho government at uny time grad
ually to work off this old stock of hllvor
without n'ffocllng tho mpnomutalllc
basis upon which its currency llfnow

STOCK ITEMS.
One important Item In keeping sheep
for profit Is to sccuro a good flock of
Bheep at tho utart and then keep them
up. m
Whenever a hog is fed until ho la
from fourteen to eighteen months old
thero is something wrong In his treat
ment. It docs not Injuro a dairy cow to put
on some cxtrii fioah after sho dries up.
Slio turns It Into milk when she comes
tn again. '
Ono good argument in favor ot a good
variety of feed lies in tho fact that no
two animals will glvo tho samo results
from the same diet
Taking ono year with another prop
erly managed, thu focdlng of Bheep
for market usually pays as well as any
other class of stock.
While excrctso is necessary for the
brood sows aud growing pigs they
should not bo compelled to talto it by
foraging for u living.
Tim eholecst lamb chops corao from
yearling lambs, and with many farm
ers the1 raising of theso for market can
readily be mado profitable.
No animal has been bred that is capa
ble of giving tho largest quantity of
milk nnd putting on the largest amount
of flesh at tho same time.
Tho hog to thrlvo best must bo given
food that will build up tho Bystcm
evenly, that Is the bono, musclo and fat
must maintain just proportions.
""Water tho cows regularly, and It will
bo bolter it tho water Is warmed. Cold
water chills tho system, nnd this not
only requires more feed, but also tends
to reduce the milk supply. Regularity
lu watering, feeding und milking uro
important items iu maintaining u good
llow of milk.
Itrnn Is one of the best material to
produeo n flow of milk und cun bo fed
dally with good results. Somo oil meal
can bo used, especially whon fccdlog
dry feed, liko hay, straw or corn fod
der. Ground oats is another good feed.
With these, und with fodder nnd hny
complete rations cau readily bo mado
up.
With many farmers ono fact must be
considered. Tho cows must bo kept
and bo woll cared for. Ilccnusothey
nro not giving a full flow of mllk'is no
reason why it should bo considered
good economy to lot them run down.
It will pay best to keep them thrifty,
nnd If this Is done a freo flow of milk
may be had.
A good plan Is to dispose of sheep as
soon as thoy reach their best commer
cial value. This may bo ut thrco years
or thrco months, and nguiu nt thrco
weeks old Tho market value deter
mines tho best tlmo to sell the surplus
of thu flock. When tho time comes
that thero in tho most clear profit,
whether It bo a lamb, a breeding ani
mal or a mature mutton, that is the
best time to sell it
FARM NOTES.
Whllo a variety of grasses is tho best
for a pasture, blue grass is the best sin
gle grass. ,
Mako racks and feed tho str.iw out
rather than to turn tho stock into tho
straw stuck.
See that tho furrows that nro to sup
ply drainage are open before tho ground
freezes hard.
Good raids aro signs of un enterpris
ing community, whllo poor roads often
indlcnto carelessness.
Encouragu your nolghbors to bettor
farming. Often their lnlucss Is moro
or less a tax upon you.
Iu many cases planting trees ntong
tho banks of streams will In a measure
prevent injury from washing.
Considering tho caso 'with which tho
grapo can bo propagated from cuttings,
thero Is llttlo inducement to graft
Hum corn onco or twice a weok and
feed to tho poultry. It serves as u tonla
and will help to produce brfttcr health
and thrift
Ono of piebost ways of' raakiug the
hens exerclsols to scatter grain among
litter and then let them hunt and
scratch It out
Tho poultry quarters should always
bo warm enough to keep tho combs of
the fowls from freezing. A hen with a
f ro7en comb will not lay woll.
Whllo it Is nearly always best to btlr
the soil deep where the trees nro to
grow, they should not bo sot any deeper
than tho trees grew In the nursery.
It will add much to tho comfort of tho
fowls when tho weather Is severely
eold to provido them with n warm
breakfast as soon as thqy fly down from
the roost
Tho farmer out of dobt with an as
sured lncomo sufficient for hia wantq.
and nblo to enjoy tho comforts and
luxuries tho farm furnishes so abun
dantly, is of all men tho most to bto
envied.
Ono advnntago In having butter to
sell in winter is tho less competition.
This means batter prices, ntid as tho
dlffercnoo In tho cost Is small tho dif
ference in prleo can bo mado largely

Tho principal value In dwarf pears is .
their early bearing, th'o trees generally
beginning to bear the third year after
planting, Thoy aro not difficult to
maongo nun require a ngnt sou ana a
light prurilng.
Tho first wheat raised In the new
world was sown on the Island of Isa
bella, In January, 1404, and on March
U0 tho earsSvcra gathered. Tho founda
tion of tho great wheat Industry ot
Mexico is said to hay 0 been three grains
carried Into that country by one ot the
slaves of the Cortcz company.
Tioin.
Stop churning whonover tho butter
globules nra tho slzo of wheat grains,
- 1 draw oft tho buttermilk nnd wash tho
uuitor in ina ciiurn. use all reason
able caro to keep everything with
which tho butter comes In contaet with
clean and sweet, aud iu making it
ready for market put it up In a ucat,
presentable condition.
To mako tbo most profit in winter
dairying ty is pecussury to have a good
portion, nt least, of thu dnws come fresh
