THE NEW EASTER BONNETS.

FEATURES OF THE SPRING MILUNERY. Close Capote and Jaunty Toques as Rivals Tor FaTor-Th Koand IIt of the . Saxumar A Sadden Collapi of nizh Crowns. The bonneta and hats that have vied with one another as to which should reach the highest altitude have suddenly collapsed, and are as flat as the traditional pancake. A "perked-up'' bow, with a bunch of flowers nodding a-top of it, is not the mode, but a very flat Alsatian bow, the loops of which droop over the side of th bonnet, is high fashion, if it is allowable to speak in paradoxes. One of these very new bonnets was worn by Mrs. Ella lietz Clymmer as she presided over the club convention at the Madison square theater, Xew York, recently. Nearly all the other women had on their winter I'Onnets, which towered and aspired in the late fashionable manner, and this deinure little bonnet of Mrs. Clymmer's was wonderfully in contrast. It gave a quaint puritan look to the wearer, quite in keeping with the quiet, self-contained, and perfectly simple and natural manner with which she presided over this body of women. The dark brown eyes looked darker and softer, the delicate face fairer than ever framed by the close cottage-bonnet, with its brocaded ribbons of rose and preen. This ribbon made the only trimming; it was very broad, and was arranged in a flat Alsatian bow, the knot directly on the top, and the loops falling close on either side. It was tied demurely under a softiy-rounded chin, and it was really a question whether the bonnet was the most becoming to the wearer or the wearer to the bonnet. Almost an exact duplicate of this bonnet was 6hown at one of the openings that has already occurred in Boston. The bonnet was an open-work straw, so light in weight that one could easily believe that 6he had nothing on her head when she wore it, and it was in the close cottage-shape that set close to the head, lying flat on the hair in front, and having short rounded ears, and crown straight across the back, reminding those who süw it of the Fanrhon bonnet in its general effect. It was lined with a gauze of pale green and silver, and had a tiny piping of the preen just at the edge. The ribbon of which the double looped Alsatian bow was made was of green and silver, brocaded in the favorite laurel leaf design of the first empire; the loops were held by ornamental pins of silver and Kle preen enamel. It was a delightful nnet, a good deal such a one as you see in some of Milais' pictures of a quarter of a century or more ago. It was hardly more than a cap, but it was so pretty that half a hundred women went wild over it, and they didn't know all the possibilities of it. either, not having had the good fortune to see its double framing Mrs. Clymmer's pretty face. Still, it was a success all the 6ame, and it will prove a very popular style for pretty, fresh-faced women who are wise enough to know the charm of a touch of such "sweet simplicity" as tins. More lace, crape and gauze bonnets will be worn this summer than for many previous years, and they will be pnt on as early as "Easter. That festival falls so late this year that it will be quite proper to wear very springlike bonnets and hats. Round hat, toques and turbans are also made from these thin stuffs, giving all the millinery of the reason a lizht, airy effect that is ver' pretty, and that will prove very becoming to all wearers. Lace or crape always makes a fre6h young face look fresher, and it Söltens the faces of older women. giving them a more youthful look. Then the bonnets are so light in weight that they are no burden to the wearer, and there will not be so many "bonnet headaches" as there are when the bonnets are heavier. Kven when the bonnets are of straw they are very lizht, and are trimmed with tulle, 60 that the light, summery effect shall be kept up. Chip, open patterned straws and plain Milan braids are shown in white and black, and are the stylish colors for spring capotes, and in many instances two colors appear in one Ixjnnet, made in strips of straw. The crown is larger than those of last season, and is not notched at the lower part, but goes straight across the head; the sides are very close, 6hort and round cornered, and the fronts are given a full effect either by the straw coronet or by softly puffed trimmings of tulle, repped silk, figured laceor velvet. Strings will be either of mauve ribbon or velvet, or of white lace; but, as the warmer weather comes on, there will be many stringless Lonneta worn in the interest of comfort. This is a sensible fashion, for every woman knows how desperately uncomfortable she may be made on a hot day by the very narrowest of silk strings, or the fluffiest of lace bows, while a tiny velvet tie is almost unbearable. The fronts of the stringless bonnets are now arched at the top in a narrow curve above the forehead, which is more graceful, and will be far more universally becoming than the sharp pointed brims of last summer. The whole bonnet is more graceful, and is not nearly so trying to the face when worn without the strings. Naturally enough the first importations of millinery for the summer w ere largely made up of the plain and fancy straw bonnets for general use, such as are likely to be called for first; these have been speedily followed by the thin materials for making the summer bonnets that have already been referred to, such as tulle, silk, muslin, crape, gauze, figured net and lace. The small close capote with low trimmings, like the one already deecribed, will be the bonnet for spring, with the toque for its special rival. Lowcrowned round hats of medium size will be worn early in the season in the city streets, while later on very wide-brimmed hats will be adopted for country use. Toques and round hats are being imported more than any other style. The toque, with pointed front and elongated crown, is merely a bonnet without strings, and is ?uite a rival of the demure little capotes. Ace toques and straw-lace toques in nearly Hat shapes, and are sent from both Paris and London, and are trimmed with small, soft rosettes made of the very narrow ribbon known as the "comet" ribbon. These rosettes, by the way, are another ealient feature of the new millinery of the season, being entirely novel, and quite different from anything that has been shown in recent years. Another feature is the use of beading net or trou-trou, as the French call this succession of holes, through which very narrow ribbon is drawn. This will be used both in bonnets and hats, forming sometimes the crown and sometimes the wide brim. These trou-trou laces, in black, with ribbons drawn through the holes, make stylish toques and turbans, trimmed with merely a cluster of violets or other small spring flowers, with a rosette of the ribbon set in front. Straw lace toques come in a! I colors in very light, open designs, and are given more character by a twist of velvet passing along the edge next the hair. A violet blue straw lace toque has a torsade of violet velvet around its edge, and an Alsatian bow of the same velvet in front, while its crown is covered by two low rosettes of bonnet ribbon, one rosette of leaf green, the other of violet, the colors precisely those that nature places beside each, other in a bunch of J

wood violets. The low crown is at length an accomplished fact in round . hats, and the shepherdess hat, with wide brim and nearly flat crown, promises to be one of the favorite summer shape; it is quite possible for the wearer, if she chooses, to have the whole effect heightened by clusters of flowers, ribbons and nodding plumes piled up over the crown in the picturesque Gainsborough fashion. Most of the round hats have low crowns with projecting brims in front and scarcely any brim in the back. Those that rejoice in the title of directory hats project straight forward from the face, shading the eyes, and are daintily trimmed with plumes or flowers, while the empire hat is poke-shaped in the rounded front of its brim, with a trimming inside the brim next the face, and another feature is the quantity of flowers upon it, especially the rose garlands that belonp to the empire period. There are wreaths of pink and yellow roses without leaves, placed flat along the outside of the brim, or just inside, framing the face, or perhaps nearly surrounding the crown. .Lace also belongs to tho empire styles and is sometimes set in a plaited ruche outside the brim, a black lace ruche on a red straw hat being especially favored for girls in their teens. Ribbons are used very lavishly in trimming bonnets and hats, and they are seen in great variety and beauty. Indeed, it has been a long time since such a profusion of such handsome ribbons has been seen. Brocaded ribbons are a decided feature of the summer trimming for bonnets, and are found tone upon tone or repped, on moire and on armure grounds, and are also in jardiniere designs of many colors in the gay Wateau patterns, in the prim small dot empire figures, and in the richest cashmeres and Persian designs. A gauze edge on thick repped or brocaded ribbons is one of the novelties this season. Hows of laurel leaves brocaded in color along one edtre of plain repped ribbon givo a new effect, and one seen in green leaves and old-rose ribbon, in black or white, in gold on black, etc. Tinsel effects in the background and laminated flowers on plain grounds make very rich ribbons. For plain colored ribbons are those of armure pressing in the fine royal marking, and the large birdseye pattern. Granite effects of mixed black and white, producing gray, are seen on many new ribbons. The flowers in use this season are very lively; they follow nature closely, even in her imperfections. Thus a knotted and twisted bit of stem peeps out from underneath a rose garland, while the apple blossoms spring from just the gnarled stems that they came from on the real trees. Small flowers are more the vogue than the larper ones, and the favorite rose seems to be the sweet brier rose. The foliage shows that peculiar, fresh green that is so completely the green of spring, and is never seen later in the seasons. One can almost fancy the perfume from the flowers, they are so natural. They are light, and do not add materially to the weight of a bonnet, and they have long supple stems that makes it possible to arrange them with grace and becomingness. Indeed, there is nothing at all set or stiff about any of the bonnets or hats of this season. They are pretty to look at and delightful to wear. Dragon flies and black butterflies are fashionable trimmincs, and give the black note along with lace that is now in such favor. A red tulle 6hirred hat. low, with large brim, has bluck ostrich tips like a wreath all around the crown, while tiny twin blackbirds hold up the left side of the brim. Black English walking hats have white China crape and black velvet loops over the crown, fixed there by dragon-flies with gauzy wings outspread. Other black iats" of the same shape have green velvet folded around the brim and upon the crown, with a pair of small blackbirds, poised as if flying down the left side. The new colors for millinery begin with white, cream, straw, maize and buttercup

yellow, followed by moon grayish green shades, such as resida, hirondeile, reed or rush green, and the blue green, and lizard shades the "light hidden and celery green, with moss dark myrtle and bright emerald hues. The brown shades are wood, maroon and cicar brown, with light beige suede and chamois. The grays are dark silver and light fern gray, also steel and slate colors. Blue and rose are in the dull antique tints now so fashionable, and there is also rose Phynie and Veronese rose of soft, most exquisite shading. Bonnets and hats made of silk mull are a French notion that is obtaining great favor inFaris; they are made entirely of silk muslin, in small puffs, round and round. One pretty model is a bonnet of green silk mull made over black net, with a black lace tip bow, black butterflies and green velvet strings. Echoes of the Fashion World. One swallow does not make a summer, bat three gem-set swallows on golden twig form an exceeding attractive brooch. The "Collapsible" is the title bestowed upon the new bonnet that can be shut up like a fan and stowed away in muff or pocket. Leather stamped with a design like Venetian lace and of a light brown tone, has been roads up in many quaint devices, including photograph frames and card cases. Numbered with pleasing gold necklaces is one consisting of a delicate chain of gold holding small flowers enameled as nearly as possible in the coloring of the natural blooms. In all gold brooches are seen some exceedingly pleasing etlects in twisted and knotted wire. There are some very pretty cold curb chain brooches, both with and without gem settings. Gold curb jewelry is by no means confined to brooches; a popular form of it is in bracelets, both stiff and flexible. Included among novelties in this direction are platinum and gold bracelets. To wear across a low bodice from the shoulder to the waist, come branches or long sprays of diamond flowers. For this same purpose diamond riviere with pendants falling like dew drops at intervals is very effective. Ginghams in beautifully fine qualities, and showing immensely large plaids, or blocks, or stripes, in brokenhnes of delicate and delicious tinting, are among the host of charming summer textiles designed for morning dresses. A singularly effective ornament is in the form of a spray of flowers, the stem and leaves being all alike mcrusted with the finest brilliants, and the flower itself, which is set upon a spring, oscillating lightly on a stem and reflecting every ray of brightness in a dazzling manner. Articles in leather with silver mountings remain as popular as ever, and quite a number of new things are out in the way of covers to prayer books for the Easter trade. There are many pretty things in the way of wedding presents of leather. The poplin of Ireland has taken possession of Paris and also arrived in America under flying colors. The new brands are very rich and elegant, mingling very handsomely with soft Iusterless wools, like Henrietta cloth and India cashmere, and also with silks, serges, crepalines, velvet and moire. Many of the new tailor gowns designed for tennis, archery, boating and mountain use, are made with skirts that are laid in deep kilts, with no lining or second gored foundation-skirt beneath. This makes the skirt very light, but the weight of the deeply-hemmed kilts is sufficient to keep them in place. The folds aro pressed to lie very flat, and bat few inside tapes are used, these always giving a stiff, wooden appearance when sewed very closely together on the reverse side of the kilts. Ribbons of every description wide, narrow, and medium, and of satin, faille, brocade, silk gauze, and velvet will be used upon every style of dress, from muslin to pompadour brocade, to border the corsage, skirt and overdress, to decorate tea-gowns, empire costumes, trained princesse toilets, Greek gowns, wraps, wrappers, bonnets and hats, and to run through the open-work meshes of white net or lace dresses. Velvet braces and lattice straps of ribbon across the bodice, over blouse plastrons or pleated chemisettes of silk muslin, with collar, belt and ribbon-ends to match, will enrich pretty summer dresses, even of the most inexpensive kind.

FARM TOPICS FOR AFML

ROTATION !N THE GARDEN CROPS. Some Practical Farm Philosophy Orchard And Garden Hints About Radishes And Beeta Interest ng farm Notes Valuable Household Recipe. The garden ought to be, and generally is the richest part of the farm, and hence it is important to get the largest possible product from it. One item in doing this is to keep the ground all occupied as nearly as possible during the growing season. It is desirable not only to have a good early garden, but a good garden all through the season ; and this can be done only by planning ahead, so that as soon as one crop is ready to be taken off another can be ready to take its place. Very few garden crops are expected to mature and ripen seeds. The greater part are used when in a green stage, so that a second crop can be planted to take the place of the first by the time the first is ready to begin using. Of course some plants make much faster growth than others. In sowing asparagus seed, turnip radish seed can be sown at the same time, and by the time tho asparagus plants will need the room, the radishes will be ready for use. AVhen the second sowing of radish or lettuce is sown, tomato or cabbage seed can be sprinkled along in rows, two or three seed every two or three feet, in rows far enough apart to let thein stand. Py the time time these later plants will need the room, the first crop will bo ready to use. Early sweet corn, early potatoes and peas will all mature earlv enough to admit of setting out late calbago or tomato plants, or the place can bo used for celery or turnips. It is best in planning out the garden to arrange so that a second crop can be started to advantage. It will lessen the work of cultivating and keeping clean, as well as economize space, if everything in the garden is planted in long rows, and by planning the different varieties that are to be planted, a much larger amount of product can be secured than if the seed is sown broadcast, and no special pains are taken to arrange. So far as possible weeds or grass ehould not be allowed to mature seeds, and to avoid this it will be necessary to give clean cultivation. This can be done nearly or quite as well with a growing crop as without, and a good crop is certainly desirable. Lees than one-half the real benefit that it is possible to derive from the garden is obtained when only one crop is grown. With the earlier varieties especially a quick growth is necessary in order to have crisp, tender vegetables, so that a second crop can be grown much more readily with them than with other varieties that have a slower growth and a longer period of maturity. Sweet corn, beans, summer and winter radishes, late cabbages and tomatoes, celery, turnips and rutabagns are all late crops that may be planted after the first crops have been taken off". There is an additional advautage with the late crop?, viz., that what are notusedcan be gathered and stored tor use in winter. Farm Notes. Old sod that has been plowed up for corn usually contains cutworms. Look over the field daily, after the corn is up, and destroy them. The bassano and eclipse are the varieties of early beets to plant. They can be planted now, as the seed ii slow in coming up. Iawn grass seed should be in the ground. If deferred the growth of the grass will be delayed by the dry dsys of summer. Dry earth can be procured now, and should be used freely. It is the best absorbent of any of the cheap materials known. The roots of lucern extend very deeply into the soil, thus enabling the plant to endure drought. The best food for making hens lay is a pound of lean meat, chopped tine, given three times a week to a flock of twenty hens. Hut very little grain is required at this season. Sheep fescue grass grows on soil that would not produce clover or other grasses and should be sown for sheen. About thirty pounds of seed are required for one acre. A hen and chicks in a garden sometimes prove beneficial, as they destroy many insects, hut they should be kept away from plots that have been recently seeded. For stock the mammoth long red mangel wurzel is the best on light loamy soils that have been deeply plowed. The globe varieties are best suited for stiff soils. The emerald gem is a 6mall canteleup, but probably the best flavored. The gain of size in tho melon family is often at the expense of quality. Out-door eabbage beds may be prepared. Have the bed rich and fine, and sow the seed in rows so as to keep the grass out. Transplant as soon as the young plants are large enough. Pop-corn is a valuable crop in some section. It is sold by the pouud, grain sind cob together. Tha rice pop-corn, which is uniformly clear and bright, is tbv(Avorite market variety. The Cory is the earliest sugar-corn, and grows but two or three feet in highL For a later crop the evergreen may be planted. Do not put the seed in untd danger of frost has passed. Harrowing should be repeated, if the lumps are not reduced, after each rain (but not when the ground is too wet), in order to get the soil fine. Harrowing is work that pays in the end. The finer the soil, and the better its condition for receiving seed, the more advantages of growth are secured. Thin out all surplus plants in the hot-beds if they are crowded, and those remaining will become more stocky. The hot-bed may be left open during the day at this season. The ground is ready for peas, if an early supply is to be continued. Peas may be planted in succession, two weeks apart, for family use, as the early kinds seldom afford but a single picking. Millet seed should not go in until after all danger of frost is over. Like buckwheat, it is a summer plant and requires but a short period for growth. It destroys weeds and yields enormously. Artichokes become a pest after they once get a stand, as the small tubers remain in the ground all winter and shoot out in the spring, gradually spreading over more ground every season. They serve well in a field where the pigs can be turned in to root them up. The parsley bed is an important adjunct to a garden, and the seed can go in early. It is usually a long time germinating, and if the bed is not frequently hand-weeded the grass will take possession before the 6eed can start, and the bed will be ruined. Pole beans entail more labor than do the bosh kinds, but they give more croppings. It is better to plant the wax varieties in succession. The old well-known refugee variety is one of the best early bush varieties to plant. Sow your celery seed. An ounce of seeds should produce 2,000 plants. Sow on a fine seed-bed and cover the seed very lightly. If the weather becomes dry, water the young plants, (irass must be kept out, and should there be danger from heavy winds at night or frosts, a covering of muslin held at the corners with weights may be spread over them, though the young plants are quite hardy. The early weeds that spring up on fields not intended for cultivation can be kept down by a flock of sheep. Many weeds that are unfit for food when matured serve as choice morsels for many kinds of stock when they are just shooting out of the ground. Sheep graze very close, and forage all over a field very industriously. They find every vestige of green food that appears, and by keeping down the weeds early the fields can in time be entirely cleared of the pests. Orchard and Garden. St. Louis Republic The best plants are grown in . rich soil. Thin even the small fruit by careful pruning. Make sowings sufficiently often to keep up a nccession. The hot-bed should be watered sufficiently to supply plenty of moisture to the growing plants.

At this time air them thoroughly at every opportunity. . It is not too late yet to act oat trees or plants. Remove the mulch from trees that have been protected during the winter. ...-, In a majority of cases with strawberries it is best not to remove the mulch untd after fruiting. .- Thorough work in cutting out and. burning all diseased branches or canes üj the only rem! edy for rust in blackberries. . ..: The soil around the rhubarb plant mnst be made very rich if good result are secured, fresh, coarse manure can be used if necessary; It is the early and continued cultivation that largely benefits the cabbage crop. --' While it is necessary to give thorough cultivation to the onion bed, at the same time whatever is given should be shallow, stirring only the surface. As soon as the growth of the plants will permit, start the hand or garden cultivator. This will be found much more economical than depending upon the hoe. Those who succeed in raising large crops' of small fruits take pains to have the soil rich, to cultivate thoroughly and to keep the plants promptlv trimmed up as well as allowing the plants plenty of room. - Careful pruning aids to properly thin the fruit and gives a better yield both in quality and quantity. A healthy, thrifty tree will nearly always set more fruit than it should be allowed to mature.

Lemon Toast Take the yelks of three eggs, beat them well and add a cup and a half of sweet milk ; take some bread, not too stale, and cut into slices, dip them into the milk and eggs and fry a delicate brown in melted butter. Take the whites of the three eggs, beat them to a froth, adding half a cup of powdered sugar, then add the juice of one lemon and a cup of boiling water, beating them in well. Serve over the toast as a sauce. Practical Farm Philosophy. Perseverance is not a bad substitute for a teacher in acquiring skill. The wise creditor is slow to lend to the man who has scrubby cattje. The best, which is cot always the highest priced, is the cheapest. Success depends even more upon correct methods than upon hard work. Some positively lazy men honestly believe they are onlv economical. Diogenes with his lantern could not have found a good excuse for dull tools. The wife of your youth is clearly entitled to the easiest pump in the house well, and a covered walk to it trom the kitchen door. Neither social obligations nor good morals require you to lend to him who does not take good care of tools, or who does not return them promptly. RUSSELL HARRISON UNDER ARREST. Ex-Gov. Crosby Vigorously Pressing His Suit Against the President's Son. New YORK, April 11. Mr. Russell Harrison was arrested this afternoon in the office of Judge, in the Totter building, on the charge of haviDg published io his paper,' the ' Montana Lit. Stork Journal, " ad article taken from a Buffalo paper accusing ex-Gov. John Schuyler Crosby of Montana with having stolen jewels from a Washington lady. Mr. Harrison came on from Washington last night foi the purpose of having the papers in the suit served on him and the warrant was issued by Judge Beach of the supreme court, who fixed bail at $5.000. Stephen B. Elkins, Vice-President Rice of the Park bank and W. J. Arkei! of Jw.lge became Mr. Harrison's bondsmen. Judge Lamoreaux of Bullston Spa is Mr. Harrison's counsel and W. L. Sweetser his attorney. Mr. Harricon was not in charge of his paper at the time the article was published and knew nothing about it. When his attention was drawn to the fact that the Buffalo paper had not told the truth, Mr. Harrison offered to pub-' lish a suitable retraction. This, however, Ir. Croshy would not accept. -He. demanded that Mr. Harrison should write him a perfonal letter of apology, and also print the sama. Mr. Harrison declined to do this and Mr, Crosby hopes by having him arrested to force him to do so. In his complaint, ex-Gov. Crosby introduced the article printed in the Montana Livestock Journal, and which forms the basis-of the pres. ent suit. Typographical errors which referred to him as a "bawling Dany," when "Dawdlfng Dandy" was meant, are pointed out in the complaint; while by parenthetical interjections after each displeasing allusion, the complainant urges that the uncomplimentary terms referred to and were desigued to describe him. This scathing article was originally written for a Bufliilo paper by its Washington correspondent, Miss Emma James, who was discharged for having written it. The matter complained of bears reference to alleged questionable acts of Col. Crosby while governor of Montana and concludes by alleging theft of diamonds from a lady in Washington. The complaint closes with a demand for jf 100,000 from Mr. Harrison, with costs, for alleged malicious and criminal libel. In his affidavit accompanying the complaint Col. Crosby states that the allegations against him "were and are wholly untrue." He quotes the retraction by the Buffalo paper which printed the original article, and he recites his demand for a personal retraction from Mr. Harrison who refused that, but oflered a retraction in the columns of the Montana Jovrntil, the same as the Buflalo paper had tendered. Complainant Crosby then seeks to show cause for hatred on the part of Mr. Harrison, and these are the words of his affidavit: And this plaintiff further stales that while he occupied snd held the office and position of governor ( the territory of Montana he sppolnted one Msj. l'.rady WilWins tobe bis private secretary ; that at ame time the Mid Ms. Brady Wilkin was s subordinate of tbe defendant in the office of the assarer of the I. X mint at Helena, iL T. ; that after this plaint i 11' resigned tlie otüce and oition of governor of the territory of Montana to accrpt the position of lirt a.Utant postmaster-general, and while he was acting as such tirst assistant postmaster-general, the defendant removed the said Maj. braly AYilkins from his position in the assarer's office of the mint fit Helena without making any charge against him. This di-onent thereupon requested the director of the Uiint to reinstate the said Maj. Wilkias as a subordinate of the defendant, subject to the preferring against him of any charges which might justify his removal. Maj. llrady Wilkins was reinstated in tbe oltice of the defendant aa a subordinate by order of the director of the mint. This plaintiff's conuertion with the reinstatement of Wllkins aforesaid created an animosity on the part of defendant toward and against the plaint i 11. And this plaintiff verily believes that the defendant caused the said false and malicious and litx lous words and matter to he published as aforesaid for the purpose of gratifying his animosity against this plaintiff, and uf iiif.-icting upon the reputation of this plaintiff a grievous injury. Appended to the complaint is a letter to complainant Crosby, from one Leslie Sulgrove, in which the latter disclaims personal responsibility for the appearance of the objectionable matter in the Montana paper of which Sulgrove was at the time editor. The latter states that against his protestation, Harrison and Lawyer I. D. McCutcheon of Helena caused the appearance of the article of which Col. Crosby now has the manuscript. Mr. Russell Harrison, when asked if he had anything to say regarding his arrest, replied: "1 have nothing to say at the present time. The facts and evidence in the matter will be given to the public in the court proceedings in due time. I will then be able to snow absolutely and conclusively that I had nothing to do with tbe instigation of the story published in the paper, and I did not learn of it until April 6, 1S7, six weeks after its publication in the Buflalo Commercial-AJrertiter." John McBriJe, president of the National progressive union of miners and laborers has issued a circular advising the miners to accept tho redaction of 2,'i cent.

THE DISASTER AT SAMOA.

Concluded from Recond Page. storm was still raging with as much fury as- at any time daring the day. The poor creatures who had been clinging for hours to the rigging of the Vandalia were bruised and bleeding, but they held on with the desperation of men who hang by a thread between life and death. The ropes had cut the flesh on their arms and legs, and their -eyes were blinded by the salt spray which swept over them. Weak and exhausted as they were, they would be nntble to stand the terrible strain much longer. They "looked down upon the angry water below them and knew that they had no strength left to battle with the waves. Their final hour seemed to be upon them. The great black hull of the Trenton could be teen through the darkness almost ready to crush into the stranded Vandalia and grind her to atoms. Suddenly a shout was borne across the waters. The Trenton was cheering the Vandalia. The sound of 450 voices broke upon the air and was heard above the roar of the tempest. "Three cheers for the Vandalia," was the cry that met the hearts of the dying men in the rigging. The shout died away upon the storm and there arose from the quivering masts of the sunken ship a response so feeble that it was scarcely heard upon shore. The men who felt they were looking death in the faee aroused themselves to the effort and united in a faint cheer for the flag ship. Those who were standing on shore listened in silence, for that feeble cry was ' the saddest they had ever heard. Every heart was melted to pity. "God help thera" was passed from one man to another. The sound of music next came across the water. The Trenton's band was playing "The Star Spangled Banner." The thousand men on sea and shore had never before heard strains of music at such a time as this. An indescribable feeling came over the hundred Americans on the beach who listened to the notes of the national anthem mingled with the howl of the storm. For a moment only were they silent, and then they broke forth with a cry that rent the air and reached each of the struggling men in the rigging of the Vandalia. Men who had exhausted every means during the whole of that awful day of rendering some assistance to their comrades now seemed inspired to greater eilorts. They ran about the beach eager to do something, even at the risk of life itself. They looked despairingly at the roaring torrent of water that broke upon the shore and knew that no boat could live in such a sea. Bravely as the Samoans had acted, there was not one of them who would again venture into the sea, where a certain death would befall them. Three officers who had been ununtiring in their efforts during the day, Lieut. Sherman and Ensigns Purcell and Jones, procured a boat and got it ready to launch the moment the sea should subside. Several natines and one or two Nipsic sailors volunteered to go in the bo it, and, with the three officers, a -sufficient number of men were procured to man the oars. But the storm did not abate in the leastand there was no opportunity during the whole night to take the boat out to the vessels. The collision of the Trenton and Vandalia, which everyone thought would crush the latter vessel to pieces, proved to be the salvation of the men in the rigging. Notwithstanding the tremendous force of the waves, the Trenton dragged back slowly and when her stem finally struck the side of the Vandalia there was no shock and she gradually swung around broadside to the sunken ship. As soon as the vessels touched, the men in the mizzen-rigging crawled out of the yards and jumped to the deck of the Trenton. The men escaped just in time, for, as the last one left the yards, the mizzert-mast of the Vandalia fell with a crash on the side next to shore. The men on the main mast escaped the same way. Lieut. Wilson, who was in the main top, almost lost his life in passing from one vessel to the other. He crawled out on the yard, and i'ust as he was about to jump to the deck of the enton, he lost his footing and fell a distance of twenty feet into the water. He we s, however, fortunate enough to reach a rope, with the aid of which he commenced to draw himself upon the deck. When he was almost within reach of the deck his hands slipped from the rope and he fell back into the water. He struggled bravely to reach the rope again, but his strength was almost gone and he sank several times. Finally he grasped the rope and was drawn upon deck. The men in the fore-mast escaped by means of a line thrown from the deck of the Trenton. Dr. Cordeiro. who was in the fore-top, in attempting to climb out on the fore-yard, slipped and fell, striking the deck of the Vandalia heavily and dislocated his knee cap. Notwithstanding his iniuries, however, he struggled in the water until he reached the line and was drawn upon the Trenton. The main mast of the Vandalia fell 60on after the mizzen and it was believed that several men were killed in the rigging. If so, they were killed by the fall or drowned before the men escaped from the rigging. Ensign Ripley, who was in the maintop, determined to make an effort to reach shore. He crawled out onto the yard and jumped into the sea. He was swept over to the stern of the Nipsic, but, not being able to draw himself up, he swam to a piece of wreckage near shore. He remained there a few minutes and then swam into the current- After a bard struggle he swam the current and was washed on shore. Utterly exhausted he sank down in the water and was about to be washed back, when Lieut. Shearman and Ensign Purcell. who were patrolling the beach, saw him and dragged him out of the water. He was taken at once to tho consulate and revived in a short time. ' The men who escaped to the deck of the Trenton had clung to the Vandalia's rieging nearly twelve hours. All were weak and exhausted and many had received severe injuries. The Trenton was rapidly filling with water and but little could be done for the rescued men. However, they were made as comfortable as possible until daylight. The storm was racing furiously at midnight and the stern of the Trenton was forced back against the reef. The waves continued to beat over her, but her draught was so great that after she had settled entirely on the bottom, she was still about her usual hight out of the water and there seemod to be no great danger of her going to pieces before the men on board of her could be taken off. Little could be clone on shore but wait for morning. Lieut. Sherman, Ensign Purcell and several other persons patrolled the beach until early morning in the hope of rescuing any poor fellow who might be seen struggling in the waves. Long before a ray of dawn appeared crowds began to gather on the shore again. By 5 o'clock the wind had abated, though the sea was still very rough. However, natives volunteered to man a boat to go out to the Trenton. Seaman, chief of the Apia district, took charge of the crew. It was still very dark and the trip was a most perilous oue; but the natives put a boat through the current in safety and reached the bow of the Trenton. They were given a hawser, which they took back to shore and made fast. But little was done, however, until daylight. All hands were ordered to remain on the ship, as the storm having subsided there was no immediate danger. As soon as it became light two more hawsers were stretched from the Trenton to the shore to guard against danger in the event of a storm coming np again. Two boats, manned by natives, in charge of iScniuaneu Pud Laluanae, commenced the work of removing theVandalia men from the Trenton. Friends crowded around the boats as they touched the shore and eagerly scanned the faces of the occupants to see who were among the saved. Those who were badly injured were first to come ashore. A few had arms and legs broken and nearly all were cut and bruised. There were very few, especially among the officers, who could walk without assistance. Willing hands lifted them out of the boats and carried them to neighboring houses. Eager questions were asked in regard to persons who had not yet come ashore, and there was no mistaking the expressions of joy when some friend was said to be safe. A shade of sadness would hover over their faces when the names of Schoonmaker and other officers and men who had lost their lives were mentioned. King Mataafa came down from his camp early in the morning for the first time in several months. He went down on shore and directed the natives in their work. He then went to the American consulate and oflered the services of all his men to Vice Consul Blacklock. He expressed the greatest sorrow on account of the disaster, and feared that the American people would blame him for being the cause of the war-ships coming down to Samoa to be lost in a storm. It was not long before the greatest confusion and disorder prevailed on shore. The Trenton's men commenced to leave the vessel and come ashore, and when they reached shore there was no place to shelter them. By noon 800 Americans were on the streets, besides several hundred Germans. The Germans remained at Mateolfa, at the lower end of the town. The saloons were crowded with sailors, and it was not long before many were disorderly. Vice Consul Blacklock, recognizing the gravity of tbe situation, issued a peremptory notice to all saloon-keeit in the town, of whatever nationality, forbidding them to sell or in any way furnish liquor to tbe American sailor ij, and notifying them that if

they did not obey this order guard of marines would be sent to their places, and ail the liquor found would be emptied into the street. Fillette did everythinz in his power to keep good order, but his force was entirely inadequate, and besides bis time wa mostly occupied in providing clothing and other necessaries for the officers and men of the Vandalia, aa they had lost everything when the vessel went down, and a majority of them had little or no clothing. Accordingly Fillette wrote to Admiral Kimberly, who was still aboard the Trenton, - asking that an additional marine guard be sent ashore t police the town and protect property. Ti e admiral complied with this request and Ca;)'. R. W.Huutington, marine oflicerof the Trenton, was sent ashore with a guard of about fifty men. The next thing to be done was to provide foo I and quarters for the shipwrecked sailors. The copra warehouse, belonging to William McArthur Sc Co., was obtained and men were sent there for the time being. A hasty examination was made of the Nipsic, and although there was considerable water in her hold, she was found in fair condition and her officers and men were sent aboard as quickly as possible. Contracts were made with various parties for feeding the sailors, though it was a diflicult matter to provide them with much food during tinday. Lieut. Brown took charge of the Trentou men. Lieut Carlin, though hardly able to stand, took charge of the Vandalia men, and was assisted by Lieut. Wilson and neath, Ensign Gibbon and other officers who were able to be on duty. A temporary hospital was provided for the large number of men who had been injured or were suffering from exhaustion. Dr. C. A. White of the Trenton, medical director of the Pacific squadron, took charge of this, and all other snrgeons assisted hitn in the work. Dr. J. H. Harvey, surgeon of the Vandalia. though greatly exhausted, went to the hospital and did all he was able to relieve the sufferings of the men; but in a few hours he broke down completely and was removed to a neighboring house, suffering from severe nervous prostration, from which he did not recover for a week. Dr. Cordeiro of the Vandalia was unable to give much assistance during the first day, owing to the dislocation of his knee cap, but the next day he was carried into the hospital on a chair and assisted in caring for the injured, and has since then faithfully attended to the wants of the suffering men. It is difficult to imagine the great confusion that prevailed on shore during the tirst day after the storm. All of the blankets and mattresses that were saved were soaked with water and had to be spread in the sun to dry. Many new ones were purchased. Men were controlled with great difficulty. Many disorderly sailors were placed under arrest. Capt. Fritze, 6cnior German ofiicer, was asked to co-operate in providing police protection, but he notified the American officers that he was afraid to trust his own men as guards, as the American soldiers would attack them and he requested the Americans to take full control of the town. This was accordingly done. Capt. Huntington and Lieut. Fillette stationed their marines all over Apia, and the sailors were not permitted to go to that part of the town where the Germans have their headquarters. As soon as it was possible to do so, wrecking parties were formed and a great amount of stores were saved from the Trenton. Several bodies of American sailors were washed ashore during the day and were buried in the French catholic cemetery. One of the first questions to be considered after the 6torm subsided was how to get the news of the disaster to Europe and America. The only communication between the Saiuoan islands and America is by steamers of the the Oceanic steamship company, which run from San Francisco to Auckland and Sydney and pass the island of Tutuila at the eastern end of the group and about ' sixty miles from Apia. The steamer Mariposa was to pass in a few days on her way to Auckland and a small schooner, which had not been badly damaged by the storm, was fitted up to start in two days for Tutuila to take dispatches to Auckland for America. The admiral in his dispatches to the naval department at Washington asked that a vessel be sent from San Francisco at once to take the American forces home or that a steamer be chartered in Auckland for the same purpose. On Sunday evening the Calliope, which had gone to sea the day before the storm, was sighted about ten miles off the island. Much anxiety had been felt on her accouut, and there was a general feeling of relief when it was found that she was safe. She entered the harbor the next morning, and every one supposed that owing to the distressing condition of affairs she would be ready to otkr all possible assistance to the American and German sailors. However, Capt. Kane announced that he would take on board more coal and leave for Sydney at once. English residents criticised his actions severely. The Calliope loaded 100 tons of coal Thursday moraine, f.red a salute of thirteen guns in honor of Admiral Kimberly and steamed out of the harbor on her way to Sydney. The admiral sent duplicate dispatches by her to be forwarded to ashineton from Sydney in case the Calliope arrived there before the Mariposa reached Auckland. There was also some difficulty in communicating with the steamer Alameda, which was to pass Tutuila March .TO. bound for Sao Francisco. Admiral Kimberly had important mail matter to send to San Francisco, and there were seven naval cadets on the Trenton w ho were obliged to return to America to attend their final examination at Annapolis in May. Another small schooner which had been saved from the wreck wan gotten ready to go to Tutuila, and the admiral also sent a letter there to Capt. Morse of the Alameda, asking him to stop at Apia. Order was generally restored in Apia after a few days. A large force of Samoans was put to work on the Nipsic and the steamer was hauled off. It was found that 6he was not leaking, but her boilers were sprung and her propeller would not work. Her rudder, smoke stack and most of her boats were gone and she was badly shattered above the water line. All of her ofticers and crew are living aboard. Admiral Kimberly has not yet decided w hether to send the Nips'io to Auckland or San Francisco. The Vandalia will be a total loss. Apia has the appearance of a camping ground. The. Trenton sailors have erected temporary tents in a large yard near the center of the town, and the Vandalia survivors have quarters near the American consulate. The survivors of the Adler and Eber are quartered in the warehouse of the German trading company. The officers and crew of the Olga are living aboard their ship. The town is stili under marine guard. The greatest precautions are being taken to keep the town clean and prevent disease from breaking out among the Americans. The following is a correct list of the victims of the disaster: IT.

Tbe names of the sixty-six sailors who perished on the Eber cannot be ascertained here, as the rolls were lost and Lieut. Gaedeke, the

only surviving ofüccr, has no other record o( the crew. A duplicate record of the Eber crew is on file at the naval department, Berlin. The following men are the only survivors of the Eber: Steerman Jeez Awitx and Seamen Stein, Piehl and Brost, who were on shore daring the storm, und Carpenter BisendowskJ and Firemen Henket. Baldan and Thiele, who, with Lieut George Edeke, reached the shore is. safety. The Adler lost twenty men. The schoones

' Lily lost two men. The whole number of live lost was ltd. Recapitulation: l.oer.i; snav ii.t 43; Adler 20; Nipsic 7; Schooner Lily 2; naives i Trenton 1. Totalis Nearly every man who clung to the rigging of e Vandalia during the storm was more or lew a riously injured, and for a day or two the hoepiial was crowded. Those whose injuries were confined to slight cuts and bruises were discharged quickly, but a number of others are still under the care of surgeons. Naval Cadet Benton C. Decker of the Trenton was slightly injured by falling on deck and was unable to walk; ior several days. The following are the names of the men on the Vandalia who were the most severely ini ired and are still confined to the hospital: W. E. Bow en, machinist, leg probably fraoured. II. Jensen, ordinary seaman, eyes terriDif inliimed by sand. Edward Ambrose, seaman, feet terribly swollen by being cut by ratlines. A. Steen, fireman, arm badly lacerated. C. BOYLE, seaman, inflammation of hand from previous wound. H. Keayden, quarter-gunner, foot badly cut. P. Neilson, ordinary seaman, foot cut Alfred Welch, captain of top, bad wound, in right foot. C. L'ggart, captain of top, badly injured ia right side. Edward O'Neil, seaman, cut in arm. John Mohl, ordinary seaman, knee in jured. The following men on the Trenton were also seriously injured: J. E. Rostept, ordinary seaman, leg broken. George Bart, seaman, le? broken. William Gibson, coal heaver, scalded. The arrival of the Alameda at Apia was. anxiously waited for. The admiral intended to send 190 officers and men of the Vandalia to San Francisco, provided Cant. Morse would agree to take them, but which was found could not be done. Wrecking parties have continued their work during the last few days and many articles are being saved from the Trenton. Divers have been at work on the Vandalia and thev have recovered many things from her though they are in a badly damaged condition. The Nipsio is still afloat, but looking badly and the admiral has not yet decided what disposition to make of her; but if she can be rendred seaworthy he will send her to ! Auckland or San Francisco for repairs. A derrick has been erected on the shore and ;m ctfort is being made to lighten the Trenton I l.y taking off the pivot riSes on her spar deck, I weighing abont eight tons each, after which the Trenton will be pumped out, if possible, in the hope that she may be got afloat. It is feared, however, that the Hag-ship is badly broken under the water line, and It is not thought that the effort to 6ave her will prove successful. The German corvette Olga was hauled off the mud flats on the 20th. and is now afloat in the harbor. The work was done by Mataafa's men, whom the Germans have persecuted so greatly, and with whom they are still at war. Th natives display the greatest kindness toward the Americans and are ready to render them any possible assistance. Two parties, natives, came to Apia yesterday, one from the island of Savay and the other from Monono. Theynum bered several hundred men and marched through the town singing, each man carrying in his hand a gift for the American admiral. When they arrived in front of the consulate they placed in the yard great quantities of chickens, cocoanuts, hams, tara and other articles of food. Admiral Kimberly thanked the men for their generous offer and told them they should keep them for their own necessities. However, as the admiral did not desire to offend the Samoans. he accepted the gifts and distributed them among the sailors. The Alameda touched off Samoa this afternoon and took off, in addition to the cadets, fifty officers and men from the Vandalia. The following sailing vessels were totally wrecked: German bark, Teter Uodeffroi; Danish barkentine, Agar; English schooner, Lily and English schooner, Tafua. The little schooners, Upolu, Utumarni. Vaitele, Nuknnuug and Louis, nearly all belonging to the German trading company, were driven ashore and only one or two of them were saved afterward. COL, DUDLEY'S SUIT. A Motion for Its Dismiosal Argued Before Judge ISearh Yesterday. New York, April 1L Counsellor Godkin, on behalf of the Evening JVxrf, appeared before Judge Beach, in the supreme court chambers to-day, and moved for a dismissal of Col. W. W. Dudley's suit against the Port, to recover damages for the publication of an alleged libel, consisting of the "blocks of five" letter. The counsel stated that Col. Dudley, in his examination before the commission in Washington, refused to testify as to matters concerning his complaint. Col. Bliss argued that Mr. Dudley had acted properly in declining to testifv. He said Mr. Godkin had presented to Mr. Dudley the very letter upon which the Indiana grand jury was asked to indict, and requested him to say whether or not it was his signature, an i Col. Dudley declined to answer, in order to protect himself in any proceedings brought. Decision reversed. Trittes Made "o Impression. fPetroit Free Preis.l When the conductor of the Lansing train was making his rounds the other morning after leaving Detroit, he came to a man who was mt ready with his ticket. He felt in all his pockets, searched the lining of his hat, and finally remarked: "I thought I bought a ticket, but I can't find it." "I must have your ticket or your fare," ai i the conductor. "Of course. Nobody can ride free on rail roads. Guess I've lost my ticket, and I haven't got a cent to pay fare with." "Then I'll have to put you off." "I 6uppoe so." He was allowed time to make another search, but not finding a ticket he was told to get off at the next station. He was ready to step off when the train ßtopped, but he had scarcely left the car before a passenger found his ticket on the floor and called him back. "So you had a ticket after all?" said the con ductor. "Yes, it seems so." "Very odd that you ehould have forgotten that you bought it. "Yes, it is; but I was kinder mixed, you see. I was drunk for two days, got pulled in an t turned out by the police, had two fights, met my divorced wife, got run over by a hack, and some one stole my watch at the depot. I couldn't remember whether I bought a ticket for Brighton or signed a contract to split 10,000 rails. Please keep an eye on me and see that X get off at the right station, for this car seems to be running bottom side up." The Old (isng on Top. Washington Special. Whatever Harrison's intentions regarding the colored brother and the chronic office holder may be, it is certain that First Asst. P. M.-Gen. Clarkson is giving aid and com fort to the old gang. Clarkson is giving all the patronage under his control in Texas to Cuney and De Gress. In the other states as a general r'"n the congressman from the district if he is a ivpublican, and if not, the republican candidate for congress at the last election, have the disposal of the fourth-class offices. Cuney and De Gress make daily visits to the postofhee department and have daily interviewt with Clarkson. On the occasion of eacli visit they submit a list of names of men to Clarkson, who, in due time, will be made postmasters. Tariff Reformers Ignored. Washington Special. Frpm all accounts it is the intention of the president to ignore the democratic party on all commissions on which the minority represent, tion has usually been granted. It is stated that the president said that he would appoint no tarifl reform democrat on commissions required by law to be made up of republicans and democrats alike; that in such cases he would select protection democrats and republicans. Th democrats here believe that this is virtually ignoring the democratic party and going b vond the spirit, if not the letter, of the law, Iiis correct standing on this matter will be bet ter understood in a few days when he comes te appoint a democratic member of the civil, service commission. Everything which belongs to tbe pure, healthy blood is imparted by Hood's Sars pariila. A trial will convince you of its merit.
