The low water Is having a depressing effect on tho eale of fruit, particularly apples, anj the farmers In the counties below here will losd thousands of dollars by their Inability to. set tfcclr fruit to. Louisville and New Albany, from which points it i3 shipped. The Mpi3nt of apples from this vicinity to Eastern and Northern points has been immense this season, at last 00,000 barrels havinff been already shipped, and did not the low water Interfere it is estimated that ths shipments would reach 100,000 barrel from JefXersonvUle and New Albany before tho seasoa closed. In Harrison, Crawford and Spencer counties tho farmers have lost hundreds of bushels of apples whlcli they had Feat to various points Ions the river to bo brought to the falls cltlex, but which were left to decay when tho boats ceased running. In Spencer county alone it Js estimated that at least 0,000 bushels of apples are now rotting under the trees. In tho counties Ju3t mentioned and In Clark, Floyd and Washington the fanners are feedlnir their hoKS on apples which In other years would bring lare rrices. Others are flllinjr large rail pens full pf the fruit, which they hope to get a sale for later in the season. In JeffersonvlUe apples have been retailing on the streets for 40 cents a barrel. The government distilleries in the Seventh Internal revenue district, of . which there are twenty-eight, are turning out an enormous output of apple brandy, much more than will bo required to supply the home demand. Previously tho distilleries used only the fallen fruit, which would othervrl have decayed, but this year they take only the best. Many farmers and fruit growers are manufacturing many times the usual quantity of cider, and this delicious beverage is correspondingly cheap. The reputation which the Ohio valley is gaining a3 a fruit-raising belt will be mere widely advertised than ever this year. To vial", one of the orchard. in this vicinity at present Is a great treat. Not only Is the ground under ilmo3t every tree covered with the rosy-heeked fruit, but hanging from twlpra and tranches which look as If they would not support a single apple are clusters of three and four. The crop of small fruit has been correspondingly Urge: WAGON WORKS IILTIXED. XTire nt l,eeburir Destroy ?23,000 Worth of Property. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Kleckhoeffcr, disbursing officer of the State Department, - to-day tendered his resignation, and It Is understood that it was ac cepted. This action on Mr. KJeckhoeffer's part is the result of an investigation Into his accounts, which has been In progress for some" time. It has been said that the investigation has devebped Irregularities la bookkeeping. Mr. Kieckhoeffer has held the office for the past ten years. The place pays $2,100 a year. Mr. Kieckhoeffer was appointed from the District of Columbia. It was learned to-night that Mr. Kirkhoeffer resigned at the request of Secretary Olney thlj afternoon. It is said that dis crepancies which cover a long period and Involve a large sum have been discovered In his accounts.

AN I'STCSUAT. cocnsE. How Dlplomates View the Action, of British Gnlana'H HlgU Council. WASIHNGTON, Oct. 26. The action of tho British Guiana authorities ia rejecting by a vote of 10. to 8 the policy urged by British Minister Chamberlain for arming the Venezuelan frontier with Maxim guns excites much Interest in official and diplomatic circles. It is said to be a most un usual course for the colonial government to reject tho advice of the home govornment on questions of important public policy. it appears, also, that, following tho adverse action of British Guianaithe London Foreign Office cabled directions to Sir Charles Lees, Governor-general of the colony, to return to London. It is stated here that this was equivalent to a recall and the belief is expressed that It Indicates tho disapproval of the London authorities In tho inability of the Governor-general to carry out the policy laid down by Minister Chamberlain. The position of Governor-general is one of such dignity that it is not usual to eum mon him to London merely for consultation. although this happened when the Venezu ela question reached a critical stage in IMt. Among those in a position to be best Informed the belief Is quite positive that Sir Charles has been recalled and that the action of the Guiana council is the direct cause of It. The Governor-general Is now on his way from Demcrara to London The British ultimatum has not yet reached Caracas. The understanding here la that it was forwarded from London to Berlin and thence by a steamer from Hamburg to Laguayra. The trip would take two or three weeks, so that its receipt in Venezuela Is anticipated within the next few days. Mon day next is the "feast of Bolivar," the natloual holiday, of Venezuela, and It is be lleved that President Cre?po will take occasion on that day to name the members of his new Cabinet, including the Minister of Foreign Affairs. , American Accnued of Blnaterlnar. LONDON, Oct. 26. The Speaker to-day, al hiding to the Venezuelan question, imkes light of the Intervention of the United States in the matter and says: "The bluster of a portion of the American press need not be taken very seriously, inasmuch as the press has been blustering with better cause against .us for the last sixty years. It Is true that this bluster now derives slgnifl canco irom tne ract that America has a navy and a group of naval chauvinists. ihe also has manufactures which protection has stimulated to overproduction, and which want a market for suoerfluous roods. lint these considerations apply to the case of eiioa with far more furce than to Venezuela, and it looks as if the mass of Americans thought that in the latter case at any rate they did not' apply at all." The special dispatches from London In re gard to Venezuela have stirred up the British Foreign Office, as well as the United Mates embassador, the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, as they have been freely recabled to tho London Times. The Marquis of Salisbury, who twas at Hatfield House, personally sent a contradiction of the re port that an unpleasant interview had taken place between himself and Mr. Bayard, and it was upon this that the Tlmes's denial of the report was based. The Marquis of saiisDurya words in making the denial were: "Lord Salisbury made no such ob servations to Mr. Bayard as are stated. nor has he yet sent any reply In writing or any Kina to tne unitea states communi cation." . . Our Ocenn Mall Contract. WASHINGTON. Oct. 26. Second Asalstand Postmaster-general Nellson said to-day, In reference to the. London Telegraph's statement that the Majestic had earned for the White Star .line a contract for carrying the United States malls through beating the St. Louts on a recent trip, that the English paper evidently did not know the provisions of the law. Under the &ubsiuy act the United 2L:ates has made a contract with the American line for carrying the mails for ten years at $1 per mile once a week. Mr. Neilson added that when the department ascertains just what mail may be held fcr the American line an order will be Issued directing all the malls which can be held to be sent by the American line, but important malls v.'hlch must not be delaved will be sent by the White Star, the Cunard f or any other line which will get them across the ocean in the shortest time. Population of Japan WASHINGTON. Oct. 26. The population of Japan, according to an estimate sent to the Department of State by Consul-general Mclvon, Is 43,000,(X, allowing 3,000,000 for the newly acquired territory of Formosa. Japan has records of her population going back to the year 10, when the number was 4,938.8fci. This report also calls attention to the fact that, in point of area, Japan since the Formosa acquisition takes rank next below Spain and stands about even with Sweden. Cannot Italia Gnnbonts nt Detroit. WASHINGTON. Oct. 26. Secretary Herbert has decided against awarding to the Detroit Tow-boat Company the contract for building two of the new gunboats for the navy, notwithstanding it was the lowest bidder. Presumably our. agreement with Great Britain binding each nation against building or putting war vessels on the great lakes caused this decision to be reached. Ho Cholera in Hawaii.

LARGKST ARTIFICIAL LAKE. It Ia in ZVerv Mexico and Is Reins I'sed for irrigating Purposes. St. Iouls Republic. "It is not generally known that the largest artltlclal body of water in the United States is situated In southwestern New Mexico, and is called Lake McMillen, after a St. Louis manufacturer," said Mr. Clark M. Carr, of Albuquerque, yesterday. "New Mexico, you know, besides being remarkable In other "ways, affords a topographical curiosity In its mountain regions. I allude to the natural depressions, or basins, which are e-oming Into use for storage reservoirs simply by collecting the Mood waters therein and drawing upon them at will for agricultural purposes. The Mormons set the example long ago, and now others are following suit. 'I myself arn interested in a large Irrigation enterprise under way In western New Mexico, which, when completed, will reclaim many thousand acres of arid land and make them available for the farmer. A company has been organized and incorporated, at the head of which is Oen. F.ugene C. Carr, well-known In St. Louis, and with whom are associated other prominent citizens of New Mexico and Illinois. One hun dred and fifty, thousand acres of fine farm lng land have been secured, and this land only ntvds the application of water to make it highly productive.-. At tho head of the tract is the coal mining town of tjallup, in the center of inexhaustible coal fields. It is proposed, in addition to irrigation, to furnish the town with a domestic supply of water, for which favorable franchises have been , Rranted the company. Several surveys liave been made and favorable and advantageous sites for rtorage reservoirs have been located. The site of the main

reservoir of the system Is most fortunately

adapted by nature for that purpose, and there is every inaicaiion that there nas been at some remote time a large Inland lake, where it Is now proposed to construct an artificial one. Tne - area submerged win be over 3,000 acres, with an average depth of twenty-five feet.- This resevoir alone. with a dam thirty reet nign, will impouna sufficient water to supply the town of Gal lup and Irrigate 50,000 acre or land. The land is purchased by the Irrigation company on loug time and at a cost of not over $3 per acre, can be put under Irriga tion when it is worm ana sola to tne iarmer for from $23 to $40 per acre, including water ri tht. Gallup has a coal trade averaging over 13.000 cars of coal per anmrm. railroad shops, and Is the distributing point of supplies and the shipping place for cattle and wool for two hundred miles of country surrounding It. The home market a for the farmer nn of the best, and it will be many yeas before the home demand for farming products can De suppuea. Mr. Carr is here on a visit at tne nome 01 his wife's mother, Mrs. J. L. Morrison, on Lindell avenue. "New Mexico," ne paid, "is recovering from several years of depression experiMirM nil over the country, but more par ticularly in that section on account of the low values or tne principal prooucis caitle, wool and silver." He says the cattle interest has been much Improved during the oast year, wool-is. steadily advancing and some of the silver mines have resumed operations. Tlio people or tno xerriiory have been turning ineir auenuon 10 culture and building of reservoirs and the reclamation and development of tho arid land with the resulting investment of millions of dollars In irrigation enterprises. The national irrigation-! ingress recently held at Albuquerque .had delegates from Canada, Mexico, all the Western States, Including Missouri, and ' from New York and New Jersey. - ' MICROBES OX MONEY. nensons Why Coin Should Never Re Put In One's Month. London Lancet. .ur-; - Dr. II. Vincent explains that money is specially liable to be contaminated by saliva, pus, pathologloal secretions, dust, and the morbid germs that may be found In dirty pockets or on dirty fingers. He does not think, however, that evidence of this - danger can bo easily obtained by placing dirty coins in culture broth. The investigations at the: Dey Hospital were conducted in a different manner. A piece of cotton wool about the size of a pea was dipped in the water and sterilized. Pieces of wool thus prepared were seized with pincers that had been held In a flame and were gently passed over the coin to be examined. ' The piece of wool were then placed In culture broths and kept in a temperature of 33 degree C. The product, which soou contained various micro-organisms, was eown anew In gelatin plaques to as to isolate the bacteria. In ether cases it was inoculated In doees varying from one to five cubic centimeters in the blood or under the skin of rabbits, miinea, nixSr and white rats. A lengthy description of the methods employed and tho results obtained are given. The number of bacteria , found on the surface of coins--varttti' very considerablyon silver and goli from 4C0 to S.&tf, and on copper a still larger number. To destroy many of the non-pathogenic microbes some experiments were made at a temperature of 37 degrees C. The injection of mixed cultures from coins only produced death or -serious results in about one out of every ten inoculations. Death was sometimes rapid, with -symptoms of acute septicaemia. In ono case tuberculosis was communicated to a rabbit' by a piece of wool which had been passed over a tencentime copper coin. In another case thero was slight tetanus. There can be no doubt that germs of disease aro often to be found on the surface of coins notably the microbe of suppuration, the Staphyloccus pyogenes, and the atrepto.cus. Nevertheless, . as the experiments were repeated they proved that there were feweninfectlng germs than had been anticipated. .Another series-of experiments was then made, which demonstrated that, though coins were often contaminated, they poaiefs in themselvea antiseptic qualities which greatly, reduce the risk. If pathogenic germs ore placed on coins It is seen that they do not live long. The time varies, according to the. temperature and the nature of the metal. Iu a col:l temperature the germs of typhoid fever and the Frledlander bacillus aro killed In eighteen hours If placed on a sterilized copper or pilver coin. At a temperature of n pocket, about 36 degrees C, the bacilli of tvphold fever, of blue pus, of diphtheria, and the streptococcus are destroyed in less than six hours. ' rThe bacilli of diphtheria are among the most tenaclaufvan4..rweoM! will live-. three day h -"on silver, and sis.-' days on " broAze. Gold, of course,' is less antiseptic, and the Eberth bacilli will live live days and that of diphtheria fix days on a sold coin in a temperature of 20 decrees C. At .1 damp temperature of 3G degrees C. the destruction of the microbes is very rapU. and that is the temperature which often prevails in the pockets of clothe. CIIAIX ARMOR IX ISK. Urltlsh Officers Kmplpjr It in Many Xovcl AVnys. London Tid-Bits. v Setting aside at once All talk about protections that are perfectly bullet-proof, I give you rpv assurance that nn immense number of the officers of - our army and navy who go on fore!nr pervlce, especially when one of our "little wars" Is expected, provide themselves with certain easily recognized protections. - These, mind you. are well-known articles of trade to the service. The commonest and most usual type of tnese protection consists ot fine but leAutirully tempered single chains, Inclosed in soft leather, which run along the shoulders, down the outer s!de of the arms and over certain parts of the bodv. These can either be sewn Into a particular tunic or they can be adlusted reparately and put on like harness. Take It abfolutely that hundreds, upon hundreds of sets are eold. The most valuable of all chains, in connection with accouterments, are those which guard the head, and In eases where the regulation cap or helmet is not sufficiently protected in - this way, specially made chains are sewn Inside the same and covered by the, lining; Only those" who. haVe"! been in actual conflict know how; valuable all, the chains mentioned are In minimizing the effect of sword cuts. As regards protection, both from sword and bullet, the general belief of officers nowadays seems to be in thoroughly tanned leather, and grear quantities of tight-fitting leather under-tunlcs aro made for officers, the favorite pattern said to be I- the invention ot the late Sir Richard Bur ton beln? that which fonns a not too prominent ridge down the center of the chest. I have heard'.' innumerable stories from officers of bullets which have been diverted in some degree by these leather tunica, some of which are lined with woven steel wire. Of course, none of these things are supposed to be an absolute protection, but only a sort of palliative. A West-end goldsmith who sells a great many chain mall body pi otectors. which fit almost like an ordinary vest, and are very expensive, sells a large number of them to army men, and he not long ago sent a gross, as many as he could get made in the time, to Japan, where they were snapped up like wildfire, as he tells me. I have had maje, on behalf of individual officers who have themselves drawn the design, a variety of different patterns of what you might call armor, but fine, flexible chains and leather have entered into nearly, all of them.
