SATURDAY. January 25. 1890. 
The grippe still continues severe all over 
the country. In this city the mortality due 
to it has somewhat decreased ; but the fa¬ 
talities from it in Chicago are very heavy, 
running as high as 40 a day.There 
is a report that the Prince and Princess of 
Wales and their second son, Prince George, 
aged 24, will visit the United States and 
Canada next spring.A High 
License bill has been introduced into the 
Maryland legislature, fixing the rate of 
license'for the sale of spirituous and malt 
liquors at $1,000, and for the sale of malt 
liquors alone at $500..Kunze, the 
little German in Chicago, imprisoned for 
participation in the murder of Dr. Cronin, 
has been liberated on $5,000 bail pending a 
new trial, which will probably never take 
place.Speaker Reed has appointed on 
the World’s Fair Committee two Congress¬ 
men who favor each of the cities which want 
the big show—New York, Chicago, St. Louis 
and Washington—with Mr. Chandler of 
Massachusetts as Chairman. New York 
offers to pay all the expenses without ask¬ 
ing Congress for a dollar; all the other 
places want national help for the exposi¬ 
tion. 
It is said that a“ private banking concern’’ 
in Mexico has coined $5,000,000 American 
silver dollars and put most of the amount 
into circulation in this country, especially 
along the Mexican border. The present 
United States dollar contains silver worth 
only 72 cents and the Mexican facsimile is 
like it in every way so that even a Treasury 
expert could detect no difference. The 
Mexican sharpers would makeover 25 cents 
on each dollar, and it is doubtful whether 
any law now existing could touch them.... 
.Adam Forepaugh, the veteran cir¬ 
cus manager, died, Wednesday night, at 
his home in Philadelphia, of pneumonia 
superinduced by an attack of the grippe. 
He was 68 years old and left a wife, one son 
and over $1,000,000. 
-- 
hundredweight. It is expected that this 
will restrict the importation of Chicago 
dressed beef, and at the same time not be 
open to the charge of unconstitutionality 
heretofore brought against inspection 
measures. 
The ninth regular meeting of the American 
Horticultural Society will be held at Aus¬ 
tin, Texas, beginning February 17 and con¬ 
tinuing four or five days. W. H. Ragan, 
secretary, Greencastle, Ind. 
The Wisconsin State Agricultural Society, 
Horticultural Society, Dairymen’s Asso¬ 
ciation, Farm Institute Workers, Short- 
Horn Breeders’ Association, Jersey and 
Guernsey-Breeders’ Association, Sheep- 
Breeders’ Association, Swine-Breeders’ As¬ 
sociation, Morgan Horse-Breeders’ Associa¬ 
tion. and Bee-Keepers’ Association will all 
meet at Madison, February 3-7. 
Further news from the Northwest confirm 
previous reports of great losses of cattle 
and sheep, as well as many human lives, 
and say that cattle are dying by hundreds 
daily for lack of feed and water, The sit¬ 
uation is a deplorable one, as the snow is 
very deep, and ail stock which are not fed 
must perish over a large extent of terri¬ 
tory.. 
The New York State Forestry Association 
will be held at Columbia College, this city, 
February 1, at one o’clock p.m .Gov¬ 
ernor Beaver has been elected president of 
the Pennsylvania State Board of Agricul¬ 
ture, and Thomas J. Edge, secretary. 
It was reported from Minneapolis this week 
t hat a prominent miller had shut down for 
an indefinite time, with the statement made 
that, there was no demand for flour at a 
profitable price either in domestic or for¬ 
eign markets ; that he had sent out six 
cable offers the previous night, which were 
responded to with bids at least equal to 
three cents per bushel below current mar¬ 
ket rates.The Board of Control of 
the New York State Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station at Geneva, met at Albany 
Tuesday morning. General N. M. Curtis 
was re-elected president, and William O. 
Hanlon, of Geneva, was chosen secretary 
and treasurer.

John -Ruskin, the famous English author, 
is hopelessly insane.The Russian 
Government wanted the Paris Rothschilds 
to float a small loan of $100,000,000 : but the 
far-sighted bankers have declined to do so. 
Many believe that they foresee war at no 
distant day, and that expecting that France 
will need a loan, they are patriotically 
keeping their money for such a contingency 
.Prince Amadeo, of Italy, Duke 
of Aosta, brother of King Humbert and ex- 
King of Spain, died the other day. 
The Portuguese Government, finding no 
active support from other European powers, 
has, per force, yielded all that England has 
demanded. The feeling in Portugal against 
England gains in active bitterness, how¬ 
ever. English goods are boycotted. The 
foreign debt of Portugal is about $300,000, 
000 and nearly the whole of it is held by 
Englishmen, so that England can bring a 
tremendous pressure to bear on Portuguese 
trade if it should wish to retaliate. 
Emin Pasha has just had a bad relapse 
and is in a critical condition at Bogyamo.. 
.Stanley has reached Cairo where 
he has dined with the Khedive who has 
decorated him with one of the highest or¬ 
ders in his gift. 
There has been an imperial revolt in Brazil; 
over 300 of the insurgents have been slain 
and the post-office, telegraphs and other 
means of communication have been seized 
upon by the Republican government. 
Dr. Doellenger, of Munich, leader of the 
“ Old Catholic Schism” in Germany, has 
been killed by the grippe.The 
same disease has carried off Lord Napier, of 
Magdala, one of the finest heroes of the 
British Army. 
AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Saturday, January 25. 1890. 
The Cheshire Swine-Breeders’ Associa¬ 
tion have published a herd-book, which 
gives a history of this popular breed, a list 
of the officers of the association, its consti¬ 
tution and by-laws, scale of points, with 
pedigrees qf over 700 animals. The book 
will prove valuable to Cheshire breeders. 
E. W. Davis, Secretary, Oneida, N. Y. 
.A bill has been introduced into the 
New York Senate to turn over to the State 
Agricultural Society for distribution among 
the county societies, the money realized 
through the Ives pool bill, which amounts 
to about $24,000. A bill was also intro¬ 
duced into the Assembly to reappropriate 
for the State and county agricultural so¬ 
cieties the appropriations of past years that 
have not been called for. The city 
council of Atchison, Kansas, has passed an 
ordinance providing, not only for the in¬ 
spection of beef on the hoof, but dressed 
beef also, at a charge of 25 cents per
