V* liy did we import ont? million
dcwm of egijs into (ho United States
last year? 'JVll me that."
The eye cf the new 8ccr?\tary o'
Agriculture, Mr. VV i ;so h , twinkled as
he asked tfy q ji.-bt.ion of the Washing
ton correspondent of a Philadelphia
paper. Secretary Wilson then added:
"Do you know that 132.000 dcz*n
of those etr$s came Iron) China t Think
of fetching that sort c> f produce all the
way front the Flowery Larid, just to
mauo pure of freshne.ts! A few were
brought from Japan, hut the bull; of
the imported tgcii we ;ue ia3t year ?
800,000 dozen ? ver1; laid iu Canada."
"What ia the rnauer with the Atne
i'lcau hen? ' the o irn-apo'ideut asked.
"Nothing is thernattir with the
American ben but something is
wrong with American farmer. lie
needs to be taught the usefulness of
raising on his own land a f*reat many
things wnich wo ar^ obliged to pur
chase abvoad for lack of domestic tup
ply Jubt tiiit.k of our being compel]
ed to import $100,000 OK worth of su
gar ?;very jear. Why, it is an ansur
dity ! The sugar beet will grow admi
rably over large areas iu this rount.y.
.Yielding from ill to 20 per ceil'.. of su
?ar. This sunt trier we aro eoink; to
mako experiments in its culture in
tiehteen states, and lor this p irpose I
have distributed over four tons of the
finest beet s?-t-d obtained from Qer
many. You know, I suppose, that the
sugar beet is the same plant as toe
ordinary garden beet, and that it has
been made to yield an extraordinary
percentago of suirar by selection of
plants for seed bearing from crop to
crop. '
"So you consider that there is no
reason why we should not grow all
the sugar we need in the Uniltd
States?"
"Not any that I can imagine And
why, pray, should we have imported
more than $ 10,000,000 worth of goat
skins iu the iast fiscal year? Is it to bo
supposed that we cannot grow goats
in America? I tell you no. The fact
is that the American farmer has much
to learn in re ?pect to animal husban
dry, and this is only on') citcumstance
in illustration. It is only very re
cently that he has begun to reaiizi the
fact that the same sheep can be mado
to yield highpricfd wool and firstrate
mutton. There is, indeed, such big
money in combining the industries of
mutton production and wool produc
tion that sheep raising luay be con
ducted profitably on the highest priced
lands. It is ridicu'ous that wo should
import wool ''
"IIow about vegetable products of
the farm?"
"The us me remark applies Why J
should it have been necessary for us
to import $(558,320 worth of beans aud
peas in the last fiscal yeai ? Might we
not have raised them just as well
on our own soil ! Ii there any reason
why we should not have raised $55t5,
644 worth of cabbages which wore
imported? Likewise $l27,f.95 worth of
gotatoet. I cannot sot* why wo should
ave bought of outsiders during the
same twelvemonth $2,773,635 worth
of hay, $?00,0t?0 worth of hops and
nearly $2,200,uu0 worth of rice."
"People abroad seer/i disposed to ba/
out some of our products."
"Naturally there is thAt tendency.
They do 11 ot want Hvnla in thtii*
markets. But we aro taking measures
to put a stop to unjust discrimination.
The department of agriculture propc
sea to guarantee the quality of our
agricultural products Dy giving cer
tificates of purity and wholesomeness,

l' 'V0 ,rjerrru. ?io or other foreigners
persist in discriminating against us,
we shall insist on their telling us
why."
One of the things largely imported
which might be produced in this coun
iry is vanilla. This plant is one of the
half-dozen fpecies of orchid that have
any value except for their flowers.
Its original home was in Kisterr.
Mexico, hut it is now cultivated in
tropical countrh-i all over the world.
There is no reason why it should not
bo grown with profit, on a large scale
in tho United States, under glass.
This is done surc'ssfully in England
and France. Most of the world's sup
ply of vanilla is produced (on the
slope? of the Cordilleras. In nature it
depends for its ferlihz ?tion on a kind
of moth that is found oniy in Mexico.
Consequently in other countries the
flowers have to be fertilized artificial
ly hy touching the stigmas Willi the
pollen. In this way o ie man oa. frr
tili/.e 1,000 blossoms in a day . The
Spaniards first carried the plant to
Europe Vanilla, by trie w?\, ia man
ufactured in tho laboratory from oil
of cloves and assafot-t id *.
Experiments in the growing of ? !
have been made in C alifornia recently
with very satisfactory results. Tho
tea produced thcrf> is of excellent
quality, though different in flavor
from any imported lo*f. There seems
to be no doubt that it could be grown
on a commercial Foalo will* profit.
The plants are of Japanese, Chinrse
and Eormosan varieties. The yield
is 500 pounds of leaves per acre, and
the cost of production Is 20 cents a
pound in addition to ths rental of tho
land. Everv person in the United
Stales, by the way, consumes twen
ly-one ounces of toa per annum, half
of it coming from China and 42 per
oent from Japan. We imported $12,
704,440 worth of it last year- Tho
culture of tho plant is an simple as
that of tho currant or goosol>erry.
Many peoplo in South Carolina today
have private tea gardens for their own
uae^ half a dozen hushes furnishing a
sufficient supply for a family. The
neds look like hare) nuts.
Camphor likewise may bn grown in
parts of the United State*. It is the res
Inous gum of a speolesof laurel that is
indigenous to Eastern Asia. The tree
is % largft one, attaining a diameter of
twenty feet. Being chopped down, it

water and boileid, the camphor passing
in the shape of vapor through a bam
boo tube. The proorss is of primitive
distillation, the gum l>eing condensed
in crjtals, which are paoked in tub?s.
Fw?m the boiling there is a residue of
oil, whioh is used by the natives for
illuminating purposes.

The culture of the rubber tree is be
ii'K tried in the region of the Florida
Everglades. 1 1 that part of the coun
try is a vwst swampy region that could
be made to supply the world with rub
l>er. At present the market supply is
threatened seriously by the reckless
desL'ue'ion of trees in Mexico and
Brazil. There are several rubber
producing plants, the oe*t of thetn bo
iog the biphon e.aslica, a superb trop
ical tr e, Wiiich has seeds like horso
chtstnuls, t!jree in a pod. When ripe
the pod bursts like a cracker, throw

men wi;i produce 50 pounds of ".nilk"
per apnu'n for forty years. The (in
tut robber blankets are rujtJe by pour
ing ihe sap upon canvas. It is a sink
ing fact that this couutry imported
$u- ,103,000 worth of crude rubber las;
year.
There is no reason why tin o^um
poppy should not be cultivate . in the
Uuited States, e.xcep'. thai a popular
pre i Juice exisl6 against it. T,i-? p.o
juiiice, h iw-.'ver, does not prevent the
importation of 400,00'* pouu>h of i. it
drug int? this country anuually.
Nearly the whole of this vvt quantity
is 8uiu< pled from China direct or by
way of British Columbia .Only ab.;ut
50.000 pounds is employed for medi
cinal purposes, the balance bfing con
sumed by "fiends." The opium vice
is nearly always a secret one, and vie
tims of it are greatly more numerous
than is generally imagined. I" p to
the 12th century the drug was known
only as a product of Asia Minor.
From thence it was introduced into
India and China. The gum from the
seed pods of the plant is the opium of
commerce.
It seems surprsing to learu that
$166,384 worth of seaweeds wore On
ported into this couutry last year.
These plaLta are used largely in the
manufacture of soda, iodine, bromina
and gelatinous extracts. On the
French shore of the British Channel
more than 2,250,000 tens of s aweeds
are gathered each jvar with drags
and rakes. Of seaweed products the
most important is ioJino. the entire
world'* supply of tvu'.-'-i is f. uui
this source. A marine plant called
"Japauese isinglass" contains so much
gelatine that it has eight times the
gelatinizing power of ordinary gela
tine. Two common species called
"laver" and '"dulse" are eaten by the
Haida Indians of our Northwest coast ;
they are dried, pressed in solid blocks
and out in slice? for boiling. Another
kind, known ps "Irish ifeoas,'' furn
ishta a osmetic for the hair--"ba'ido
line.' It ia collected in large quanti
ties on Cape Cud every surnm r end
sold for. making pudding*. Brewers
and calico printers uuo it in their busi
ness. But nearly all of the neaweed
crop in thiB country remainj ungath

Truffles have recently been gather
ed and preserved in large quantities in
CaJifornia. They are put up in cans,
parboiled and sealed in their own
juhe. It may be that the&f delicious
fungi of domestic production might
take the placeof the imported, of which
many thousands of dollars' worth
come from France annually. That
country produce* every jear $3,u00, ?
000 worth of tru tiles, which sail for #2
a pound. They are found under
ground about oak trees, and dogs and
pigs, which were both very fond of
them, are employed to smell them out.
i'he origin of the fungus is very cu
rious. In July and August a lit tie
blue winged Jly makes its way into
the soil at tho base of the oak
tree pierces tho burk of the root
and lays its eggs in the wound.
F ro.u the scar develops a vis
cous substance, which grows into a

The demand for citron in this coun
try will soon be supplied by the do
mestio product. The growing of tho
fruit is an increasing industry in at
ifwrnia and Florida. Only the thit k
rind is utilized. The Iruit is cut in
halves and putin casks with strong
brin?>; then tho pulp is oepevated from
the rhind t?y gouging u out. The
rinds are immersed in fresh water for
throe day* to free them of salt, and
are then bailed in a c ipper caldron
until they are tender Afterwards

of different strengths, and, Dually,
when completely saturated with su

In Southern Florida might b3* oulti
vated tho trees that produced myrrh
and frankincense, which are in oon |
siderable commercial demand. Myrrh '
is ihe gum of a tree that grows in
South western Asia. The chief markets
are Bombay aud Aden, where it is
sorted, the best quality l>eing sent to
Europe and the poorer grades to Chi
na. Queen Victoria makes an offer
ing of gold, frankinoonso and myrrh
at the Chapel Itoyal, London. This
custom haa been pursued since the
time of tliohard I. Frankincense is
obtained from a tree native to Arabia
and India, tho milk like juice being
collected, and, when hard, paoked in
baskets. Anoiently it was believed
that the land whioli prod need this sob
stance was one of fogs and darkness,
when slaves were compelled to gather
the gum from trees infested by ser
penis of brilliant colors. The fable
was probably put in circulation by
A rah spice producers, who denirrd to
discouraged competition.

at a lato hour Thursday afternoon.
The announcement of the vote was ro
cetyed wuh tumultuous applause;
which drew from Senator Haw ley an
emphatic protest against "mobdemon

as follows:
Resolved, etc., That a condition of
public war exists between ihe govern

Ari analysis of the vote snows
thai the atllrmative was cast by 13 Rj
publicans, 19 Democrats and 4 Popu
lists, and the negative by 12 Republi
cans and 3 Democrats. Prior to the
final vote, the motion of Senator Hale
to refer the resolution to tho commit
tee on foreign relations was tabled ?
vea* 34, nays 19. Mr. Fairbanks of
Indiaua then proposed a substitute,
providing that the President extend
the good otlloes of thy United Statca to
Spaiu toward securing an end to the
conflict and the ultimate indepen letico
of the island This, too, was tabled ?
yeas 36, nays, 16. Then followed the
adoption ot the original resolution.
The voting occurred after an excit
ing debate, participated in by Senators
Thurston, Elkma of West Virginia,
White of California, Fairbanks of In
diaua, Hale of Maine, Spooner of
Wisconsin and Gorman of Maryland.
Mr. Thurston, who presided over the
Republican national convention at St
Louis, recalled the stirring ecene when
that convention enthusiastically in
serted a Cuban plank in the plat
form, and declared that this resolu
tion was in partial fulfilment of that
pledge. Messrs. Klkins and White
urged a conservative course and an in
quiry by a committee
Tnen came the first vole? that on
the Hale motion to refer. It was a
test of strength, and the defeat of the
motion assured the passage of the res
olution. Mr. Fairbanks tried to stem
the tide by offering a compromise
proposition, somewhat on the lines of
the Cuban plank adopted at St. Louis,
but it met tho same fate as the Hale
motion. This Drought Mr. Hale for
waid for a final protest. He spoke
with intense earnestness and feeling
and with a trace of in his
voice. He declared that the element
opposed tr the administration, Demo
crats ana Populists, had furnished tho
bulk of the vote in fuvor of the roaolu
tioD, and that the foreign policy of
the administration was thus to be dic
tated by its opponents. He oxprcassd
the fear also that tho resolution would
lead to war with Spain.
Mr. Spooner added his protest
against tying the hands of the admin
istration. Mr. Gorman closed the de
bate, resenting tho suggestion that
party lines were drawn on the resolu
tion, and asserting that tho administra
tion should have dispatched a war
ship to Cuba to protect its officials on
the island. The final vote was theu
taken, and tho Seriate then adjourned
until next Monday. Tho Cubun reso
lution camo up unexpectedly at 12:30
'p.m., when Senator Morgan asked
that it be considered without waiting
for it* ormal presentation at 2 o'clock.
This was agreed to, and Mr. Thura
ton of Nebraska addressed the Senate.
Ho spoke of the bloody contest# which
h: d raged during Ihe last two years.
1 here was ampin information as to its
extont from American correspondents
who had writUui their d'uputchos on
the field of battle, from tho reports
which lilled the records of the Senate
and in tho archives of the Sia'e hi
partment. Every man in tho UniWd
Stiles ought to bo rwndy for action oi?
this juestion at this tirno, and if any
S- naior waa not sufficiently informed.
Mr. Thurston commended htm tj too
consideration of hia constituents.
IVace in Cuba!" exclaimed the
Sr-nalor. "If there is peaco in Cuba it
is the peareof devastated Holds. Peace
inCubal I' there is peace in Cuba,
it is the p -ace of desolated homes I?
there is k?>aco in Cuba, it is the peac<
of ravished women and children, arid
tho paens of this p^aco are sung by
the unoofH ned dead "I am a party
man of that ultra stripe," prfxv>eded
Mr. Thurston - "but over arid above
my duty to my party is that to my
country, to humanity, and to God
and I would be unworthy of my gnat
party if I shaped my course on this
resolution through party oonaidera
liona. No Republican can afford to
vote against this resolution bfcausn it
was introduced by the Democratic
Hanator from Alabama "
Mr. Morgan quickly disclaimed per
sonal authorship for tho resolution,
saying it waa but a copy of the ono
offered by Mr. Sherman, now the firs!
man in the Republican party next to
tho President and Viro President It
was, therefore, essentially Republican
in its origin. Referring to the right
of search which would follow recogni
tion of belligerency, Mr. Thurston said
there could he no provocation to war
if the searoh wa? oond noted in accor
dance with international law , but if
the search was conducted by Spain, or
any other power, without respict
to international law, "there ought to
b^ war by tho United States of America,
and war ehall come to maintain the
honor of the nation."
Mr. Thurston insisted that it was
time this government by it* action
gave the Cuban cause a proper position
before the world? the right to >arry
their tl#g on land andsta the r^fht
to stand beaide Spain in tfce nvCev

the Senator cloned a* <o!lowS: "These
