Cuicauo, July 10.—The followingorder

waß issued this afternoon by General1

troops serving in the Department of the

Missouri: .....The acts of violence committed in the

lutfrw days in the stopping of mail

trains and postroadß; the blocking of

interstate commerce; the open defiance

,na violation of the injunction of the

United States Courts ; the assaults upon

the Federal forces in the lawful dis-

charge of their duties; the destruction,

DJllneeand looting of the inland com-

merce property belonging to citizens ofthe different States, and other acts ofrebellion and lawlessness have been ofsuch a serious nature that the duties ofthe military authorities are more clearly

The1proclamation of the President,

the Commander-in-Chief of the landand naval forces, and the State militia,

hen called on to serve, is understoodliv the military to be in the interest ofhumanity and to avoid the useless waste

of life if possible. It is an executiveorder forall law-biding citizens to separ-

ate themselves from the law-breakers

and those inactual hostility to the actionof the United States Courts and the lawsof the national government. lie hasdefined the attitude of these law-break-en to be enemies of the government,and hence it is the duty of the militaryforces to aid the United States Marshalsto disperse, capture or destroy all bodiesofmen obstructing the mail routes, and

1 in actual hostility to the injunction ofthe United States Courts and the lawsof the United States. ....

This does not change the relationshipof the Federal officials with the localauthorities, as it is expected the Stateand municipal governments will main-

tain peace and good order within theterritory of their jurisdiction. Shouldthey fail or be overpowered, the militaryforces will assist them, but not to theextent of leaving unprotected propertybelonging to or under the protection ofthe United States. The officer in theimmediate command of the troops must

tithe judge as to what use to make ofthiforces at his command in executingiaonler in case serious action be re-

quired, anil when he has the time heWill communicate with bis next supe-rior for hie instructions. The earnestefforts of the law-abiding citizens havedone much to improve the condition ofaffairs during the last few days, and 1can earnestly request all the law-abid-ing citizens to do whatever is possible toassist in maintaining the civil govern-ment and the authority of the municipal,State and Federal governments in pre-serving peace and good order,

DBCRBASK IN Tilt: CATCH.

Pack of Royal Chlnooks Will I all Far

Short of Previous Yearn.

Aktoria, Or., July 10.—During thepast week there was a marked decreasein the quantity of salmon received atthe various canneries here. M. J. Kin-ney who began operations at the oldDevlin cannery thirty-six hours afterthe fire which destroyed the great build-ings of the Astoria Packing Company,put up but 1,700 cases of Chinook fishdaring the six days ending Saturdaynight, which is a shortage of over 4,000caßes as compared with the correspond-ing week last year. From almost all ofthe other packing establishments re-ports of large shortages are received. Itwas the opinion here up to ten days agothat the total pack for the season wouldnot be more than 60,000 or 75,000 casesshort, but fears are now entertained thatthe shortage will be much greater.

The traps are yielding large quantitiesof bluebacks, and at the Cascades Me-<Towan Bros, are doing better in pack-ing this variety of fish than for someyears past, but it is almost a settled factthat the pack of royal chinook fish willfall far short of that of any previousyear in the history of the industry.Usually July is the best month of theseason, but it is thought that the gener-ally line weather since April was themeans of bringing the fish m earlierthan has been the rule formerly. Prep-arations are being made at the Bite ofthe Astoria Tacking Company to resumeoperations there on a small scale Wednes-day, in order that, should there be animprovement in the catch, the fish maybe handled. So far, however, the plantat the old Devlin cannery, now the prop-erty of the Astoria Packing Company,has been much more than adequate totake care of all the salmon that was se-cured.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Curtishas filed with Fish and Game ProtectorMcGoire his report of arrests during'he month of June for violations of theash and game laws, particularly fishingfor salmon during the weekly close sea-son. The report shows that' ten offend-ers in all were arrested, the fine in eachcane being $50, which, with the sales of*eb seized by the officers, brought theforfeitures up' to (630. Several nets wereseized, the owners of which were not ar-rested, and in these cases civil suits havebeen brought by the State to have thenets forfeited and Bold to pay costs. ; -

II Will Open Half a Million A.n- ofLand to Settlement.

Washington, July 10.—Representa-tive Wilson from the Committee onIndian Aflairs has submit ted Mlextendedreport on the bill to ratify the agree-ment made with the Nez Perce tribeof Indians for the sale of their surpluslands, submitting also a substitute meas-ure, the passage of which is stronglyrecommended.

May 1, 1893, Robert Schlelcher, JamesF. Allen and Cyrus Beede concluded anagreement with the Ni'z Perees by whichthey released to the United States about559,207 acres of land to be opened tosettlement under the provisions of thehomestead, townsite, timber and stoneand mineral laws of the United States.The bill reported by the committee pro-vided that persons entering these landsshall pay $3.75 per acre for agriculturallands, and (5 per acre for timber andstone and mineral lands.

It is believed by the Committee onIndian Affairs that the money receivedfrom the sale Of these lands at the pricesfixed in the bill will fully reimburse thegovernment for all expenditures madein connection with the purchase of theland or negotiation of the treaty, and allincidental expenses in any manner con-nected therewith. The committee alsobelieve that the first payment madeunder the treaty willbe returned to thetreasury as quickly as settlers can makethe payments required under the bill.In support of this proposition two state-ments are submitted, estimating, eachindependently of the other, the classesof land and the acreage thereunder,thrown open to settlement by the termsof the treaty referred to.

The first estimate was submitted byRobert Schleicher, Chairman of the com-mission which negotiated the treaty,and is as follows:

The Naval Appropriation Hill Faueithe Semite.

Washington, .Inly 10.—The naval ap-propriation bill was passed in the Sen-ate to-day with very little friction or

delay. There was one amendment of-fered that might have led to considerabledebate. Itwas for the construction oftwo new steel-armored cruisers at a cost

not exceeding (2,760,000 each. Gorman,who was in charge of the bill, requestedthat the amendment should be with-drawn on the grounds that by 1800 thethirteen cruisers now in course of con-struction would be completed and wouldfurnish a very respectable navy, andthat in the present depressed conditionof business and the existing state of thenation's finances itwas desirable tokeepdown expenses. Daniel, who offered theamendment, recognized the force of thesuggestions, and in accordance with Gor-man's request withdrew the amendment.White of California called attention tothe action of the committee in strikingout the appropriation of $50,000 for asteam tug for the Mare Island navy yard,and had read a letter from the Secretaryof the Navy indorsing the necessity forthe tug. The appropriation was allowedto stand. Allen offered an amendment,which was agreed to, providing that allappointees as naval cadets shall havebeen actual residents of the district fromwhich appointed for at least two yearsprevious to their appointments.

The House bill to amend the law rela-tive to mining claims was also passed.It provides for the temporary suspen-sion of the requirement that a certainsum of money shall be expended eachyear on mining claims until a patentshall l«ive been granted.

A Colombia Quarantine Station.

THE MILITARY ARM

Systematically Used to BringOrder Out of Chaos.

OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE.

About Restored,

Cbioaoo, July 11.—Slowly but stead-ily, calmly and certainly, as befits thesupreme power ofa great nation through-out all the wide stretch of its domainwhere evil-disposed persons are taking

advantage of the exceptional industrialcondition to incite violence and blood-shed, the Federal government is movingto the accomplishment of that for whichits powers were delegated to it by thepeople, the preservation of order and thesafety of life and property. At Chicago,in connection with the State anil munic-ipality, it has already brought peace outof the condition of war which prevailedlast week. At San Francisco, Sacra-mento and various points in Coloradoand Washington, where the unruly arecreating havoc, it has let loose the dogsof war in token of its intention to havepeace, even if it has to fight for it. Inthis city the military arm has accom-plished its purpose; the judicial arm hastaken up the orderly course of its duties,which include the fixing upon the guiltyparties the measure of their crime andtile fitting of the punishments thereto.The first step in this procedure was theassembling of the Federal grand juryand the delivery of a charge to it byJudge Grosscup.

That it is the intention of the nationalauthorities not to be turned aside froman exhaustive inquiry into the questionswhich it has undertaken to pass uponby mere technicalities was evinced atthe outset by the brusqueness by whichit swept aside the plea of privacy andprivilege which the Western Union Tele-graph Company, with a due regard forthe privacy of the messages of its clients,was forced to put in, when the jurycalledfor the messages from President Delis tothe members of his order which hadbeen transmitted over its lines. The

| court held that public safety was para-mount to private right, and so orderedthat the dispatches be produced. Thatit is the intention of the government not.to be too long about the work in handwas shown by the fact that the footstepsof the telegraph officialwho brought thedispatches had scarcely ceased to echoalong the corridors leading to the grandjury room when the body tiled intocourt anil announced it had found a truebill »f indictment. Pending the arrestof the persons thus put under indict-ment, the public was allowed to drawall its conclusions from the premises andsuch preliminary data as it had at hand.That President Debbs was the man nonedoubted, and subsequent developmentsjustified the surmise.

Touching the outlook for the futureoutside of Chicago, it may be said thatto-day's dispatches were almost uniformin tenor to the effect that normal condi-tions had already been restored, or thatthey were rapidly approaching that state,and there seems to he no reason at thiswriting to suppose that the progress to-wards a complete resumption of tradeand traffic will meet with any seriouscheck as the coming days shall succeedeach other. In other words, it does notseem possible, with all the forces of lawand order, as now arrayed, with theirleader put to his own defense at the barof justice; with their ranks beginning tobo depleted by desertions, and with thestrain which they have already endured,that the American Railway Union canrally its forces for a struggle which mustneeds be long and discouraging at best.Apparently, therefore, their only hopeof final triumph lies in aid which theyhope to get from union labor outside oftheir organization. As this is beingwritten, the order for all classes of laborin Chicago to go on strike to-morrowmorning is being promulgated, and it issaid that that of Grand Master Work-man Sovereign of the Knights ofLabor,calling on all members to strike and allwho sympathize with Pullman strikersall over the country to come out withthem, is expected to follow quickly.How generally the order will be obeyedis problematical. To a great extent theeffect has already been discounted by thestagnation of business, ami it is knownthat some of the longest heads amongthe labor leaders believe the action hasbeen postponed too long to be effective.Atsunset the nation will probably knowwhether the situation is one of crisis orcollapse.

Hopkins Ceiirtureg Pullman.Chicago, July 11. —"Itis labor lost;

not fifty Mayors would have the slightest,

effect on the Pullman Company," saidMayor Hopkins when asked if MayorPingree of Detroit had asked him to

become one of the fifty Mayors to joinin an appeal to George M. Pullman toallow the differences between him andhis men to be submitted to arbitration."Mayor Pingree thought there was noneed of asking me to join him in suchan appeal," said the Mayor. "Myposi-tion is pretty well known. But fiftyMayors will have no effect on the Pull-man Company; no nor 150 nor 500.Everyone is ignored by this company.However, it will take Pullman years torecover from this trouble. He will findthat he is boycotted without unit in jaction or effect" by the American people. 'The business will goto Pullman's com-petitors. Then he will realize the mis-take of his position to-day."

WHAT BOVKRKKIN SAYB. :

i.m of ii" Manifesto to the NationalKnlghtt of Labor.

Ciiicaoo, July 11.— manifesto ofGeneral Master Workman Sovereign tothe Knight* of Labor was Issued to night.It is as follows: "Chicago, 111., .'uly 10,1804. To the Knights of Labor ol Amer-

Greeting: A crisis has beenreached in the affairs of this nation thaiendangers the peace of the Republic,Every fiber in our civil structure isstrained to the breaking point. Theshadow of factional hatred hovers overour fair land with terrible forebodings.The arrogant lash of superiority Is being

applied by the corporations with relent-less fury,'and the chasm between themasses and the classes Is growing deeperand wider with each succeeding day.If peace is restored and this nationsaved from acts repulsive to the con-science of Christian people, there mustbe wise action, and that quickly.

11 Sincerely believing that the namesof discord are being purposely fanned bythe railway corporations, to the risk ofthe life of the government, I take theliberty to appeal to yon and through youto the conscience of the whole people im-ploring you to lay down the implementsof toil for a short' season, and under thebanner of peace and patriotic desire topromote the public welfare, use thepower of your aggregated numbersthrough peaceable assemblages to createa healthy public sentiment in favor ofamicable settlement of the Issues grow-ing out of the recent strike of the Pull-man palace car employes; and you arcfarther requested not to return to yourusual vocations until a settlement of the

pending troubles is made known to youthrough some authentic, source.

" In the present strained relations be-tween corporations and their empoyesis involved a principle near and dear toall true American citizens —the right oflabor to present its grievances to ownersand representatives of corporations andcapital. The Pullman Palace Car Com-pany refuses to arbitrate the differencesbetween itself and its employes on theground that cars were built below cost,

and, therefore, there is nothing to arbi-trate. Hut the conclusion of every un-prejudiced mind must be that, if suchwere the facts, it could have nothing tofear at the hands of an arbitration com-mittee. But the Pullman Company goesfurther in its autocratic policy than arefusal to arbitrate. It has refused tojoin with the business men and the Boardof Aldermen of Chicago in a committeeto discUßß the question as to whetherthere is anything to arbitrate or not, andbehind this autocratic policy stands, theGeneral Managers' Association of therailway corporations, backed by theUnited States, as the aiders and abettorsof this social crime.

"Suppose the Pullman Company hadinvited organized labor to arbitrate andorganized labor had declined the invita-tion and refused to discuss the questionas to whether there was anything to ar-bitrate or not? It is needless to say awave of popular indignation would ob-literate every labor organization fromthe face of the country, and no morecould be formed during the next fiftyyears. The stigma of such a positionwould followevery man connected withorganized labor to the grave. Hut in thepresent crisis the corporal ions, whosewealth has been created by labor, takethe position that they are prior to andabove their creator. Like the brigandsof old, they rob the laboring masses andemploy the sword and bludgeon and situp a throne on the bones of the van-quished and hold their divine right torule over the remainder. Pullman claimsthat, notwithstanding the wages of theemploye were reduced to starving point,there is nothing toarbitrate because carshave been built at a loss, yet neglects to

state that the stock of the company hasbeen watered three times over, and thatthe company has been able not only topay its regular dividend on water andall, but its stocks have long been and atthe present time are at a premium onthe stock market. I

"Pullman cries poverty to his starving Iemployes, and then retreats to hisprincely summer mansion on the St.Lawrence river, and wires the businessmen of Chicago that he has nothing to Iarbitrate. Like Nero, lie laughs in lux- jury, while his devoted martyrs burn. IIfthe present strike is lost to labor, it |will retard the progress of civilization Iand reduce the possibilities of labor to ,ever emancipate its.elf from the thrall- jdom of greed. The dignity of labor andall the victories won in the past are atstake in this conflict. I beseech you inyour obligations in this hour of trial.Court the co-operafion of a generouspublic, stand firm and united in ourcommon cause, and the victory will beone of peace and prosperity for the faith-ful. (Signed) .1. B. Sovereign,

General Master Workman."

lEx-President HurriHoll'K VIcWH.Indianapolis, .Inly 11.—Kx-President i

Benjamin Harrison, having been quotedas saying President Cleveland has estab-lished a new precedent in sending Fed-eral troops into a State without a requestfrom the Governor of the State and overhis protest, said to-day : "1 have neversaid what Iam quoted as saying as tothe use of United States troops by the IPresident, nor do I think the Presidenthas transcended his powers. On theother hand, I believe there is no spot inthe United States where United Statestroops may not go under such orderswithout asking anybody's consent, and jthat the enforcement of the laws of the \u25a0

United States is the sworn duty of thePresident, and the army is an appropri-ate instrument to use in the enforcementof these laws where they are violently Iresisted and the civil officers are unableto deal with the situation. If the posse ;comitatuß law limits the President's con-stitutional power at all, which is very 'doubtful, it only requires the proclama- 1tion to precede the use of troops."

MARKET ANIMALS.

They Should be Reasonably Fat.for This Purpose.

TO TRAIN TOMATO PLANTS.

Pruning Away Surplus Bhooll and Tying

thr Plants to Support-* BzpOM* tlio

Fruit to tti<> Sunlight Mid Favor* itH

Kurly Development.

The Ohio experiment station in one »lits bulletins gives the following direc-tions for staking and pruning: Whenpruned and staked tomato plants willbear much closer planting in the. fieldthan if left to themselves. Two feet byfour is about the proper distance. AsBoon as the plants are set in the fieldthey ought to be tied. In order to pro-vide for this the following plan has beenfound to be satisfactory: Set strongstakes at each end of every row, andbrace carefully. Smaller stakes may beset at Intervals of two rods along therows. These stakes should be aboutthree and one-half feet, in height. Nextstretch two wires of about the sine usedin baling hay along the tops of the stakesin each row. Take ordinary lath or smallsticks of any kind, of the same lengthas lath, and stick one just at the side ofthe place that each plant is to occupy.The upper ends of the stakes are held in

place by crossing the two wires back amiforth —that is, by weaving the wire*around the tops of the stakes or laths.This makes a neat little trellis, sufficient-ly substantial for one season, but thematerial can be used several years insuccession. Tinl plants are trained tosingle stems and tied to the lath sup-ports. Of course, tying must be done atsuccessive intervals as the plants increasein height, until the top of the trellis isreached, after which nothing furtherneed be done in the way of training. AllBide shoots near the ground and stickersmust be kept pinched oil', as the objectto he gained in staking would be lostotherwise. None of the blossoms are tobe removed, but simply the leafy shootsand such, which bear no blossoms andcome out near the ground and at inter-vals along the main stock. Pruningaway these surplus shoots and tying theplants to supports exposes the fruit tothe sunlight, and fu«irs early develop-ment in a marked degree. Tomatoesthus trained ripen about two weeks inadvance of those which are allowed tolie on the ground, are freer from rot andlarger. The crop per plant is less thanby the ordinary method, but because ofthe higher prices obtained for the fruitthe profits are larger.

HOW 111 FATTKN.

All AiiliiiulmIntended for Market Should1,.- ltCilKOUMlllyI Hi.

The market demands that all animal"intended for meat should be reasonablyfat before they can be considered as be-

ing tit for market. Generally this im-plies the feeding of a fattening ration forat least a short time before sending to

market. How long this feeding shonldbe kept up must be largely determinedby the condition of the animal. Oneadvantage in keeping all animals in-

tended for meat in good, thrifty condi-tion during growth is that but a short,

feed will be required to properly linishfor market. While fat is essential in se-curing the best price, an excess of fatrather reduces, than increases the profit.The careful feeder must be able to de-termine when the most profitable stage

has been reached and then sell. Innearly all cases and in nearly allseasons in order to feed to the bestadvantage it will be best in fattening togradually increase the rations until theyare on full feed rather than to feed heav-ily from the start. One objection to put-ting on feed too suddenly is the dangerof putting the animal offits feed. Oftenwhen this is done it willrequire severaldays of careful feeding to get back to agood, thrifty gain, and this is so muchreally lost. 'Stock can be fattened at anytime, provided good care is taken in themanagement; hut the hot weather of thesummer and the extremely cold weatherof winter are the most unfavorable sea-sons, and generally it will be found agood plan to manage to feed bo that itwill not be necessary to fatten at theselimes.

NITIKXiKN FOB PLANTS.

It \u25a0• the Mini Valuable Element of Fer-

tilityin the Soil.

Nitrogen is the most valuable elementof fertility in soil, is the most abundantone in nature, and is about the hardestone to get in a form available for plantfood. The air we breathe is about four-fifths nitrogen, the other fifth being ox-

ygen. In breathing we use the oxygenand discard the nitrogen. Pure oxygenwould be too strong, and we should bekilled by breathing it, and nitrogen hasbeen regarded as merely a diluting ma-terial. Allattempts to secure this ni-trogen from the air in a shape in whichit would he available for plant food havefailed, but it has been discovered withina few years that the leguminous plants,clovers, peas, beans, vetches, can growwithout being supplied with nitrogenthrough the agency of bacteria of mi-

crobes, very low forms of life, certainvarieties of which are found where legu-minous plants have been grown.Whether this be true or not, it is certainthat crops of any of these leguminousplants plowed under when in fullbloomwill fertilize the soil and enable it toproduce good crops sooner and cheaperthan any other agency. For this reasonthose who own farms which are at allsterile in the North should grow clover,and those in the South should grow cowpeas. The study of farm chemistry ie •very interesting one.
