Royal Baking Powder, Strongest, Purest, Most Economical. Certain baking powder makers are publishing falsified extracts from the Government reports, with pretended analyses and certificates, wherein an attempt is made to compare their baking powders with the "Royal," or making bogus tests from house to house, their obvious purpose being to counteract the recent exposures of the inferiority of their own goods arising from their impurity, low strength, and lack of keeping qualities as shown by the Government chemists and others. As to whether any of these baking powders are equal to the " Royal," the official tests clearly deter mine. When samples of various baking powders were purchased from the grocers, and analyzed by the United States Government Chemists and the Chemists of State and City Boards of Health, the reports revealed the fact that the "Royal" contained from 28 per cent, to 60 per cent, more leavening strength than any other cream of tartar baking pow der and also that it was more perfectly made, of purer ingredients, and altogether wholesome. As these powders are sold to consumers at the same price, by the use of the Royal Baking Powder there is an average saving of over one third, besides the advantage of assured purity and wholesomeness of food, and of bread, biscuit and cake made perfectly light, sweet, and pal atable advantages not to be had in the use of the low grade, cheaply made baking powders that contain lime, alum, and other impurities. the work of a new country are getting on well. At tlie end of bis letter be says: "In my own case I mil well satisfied. I am liv ing on my place, halng built me a house and get n pietty good start, hnve lieen treated kindly, nml Issui offered nil the assistance I may need. 1 have 110 desire to return to Springfield, my former home. If 1 lm.e my health 1 have good reason lo think that in a little while 1 will have 11 nice little home that I can call my own. In conclusion 1 can truthfully say I licit' Is not one word of truth nlniiit my countrymen being destitute or in want lion: en tbecontiary they an all at wolk here, receive rikkI wnges, are wcllclotlicd, children W'clldrcsscd anil ntteiidlng schisjl.

Tlie letter bears lu Its tone and seeming the evidence of lis truthfulness, and w ill effectually set at rest the charge that im migrants who haxebecn persuaded to come to Vermont from other states or from for eign countries have come to want, or have been subjected to unjust treatment. A lilt or i:tltrlilent. The public excitement of the week has been furnished hy tlie case of the Itata, a Chilian .steamer, which dropped anchor lu the harbor of San Diego, Cab, on Tuesday of last week. Her mission was suspected to he that of taking arms and supplies to the insurgents, which are in open rebellion against the government of Chill, and she was therefore formally seized by our gov ernment authorities under Instructions from Washington, anil a United States Marshal was placed on hoard in charge of her. Tlie Chilian war ship Esmeralda was known lo have accompanied the Itata a part of the way, at least, on her voyage to the north, and an American schooner, the liobert ami Minnie, was cruising out side in San Diego harbor with munitions of war which were Anally delivered on bo.ir.l the Itata. Wednesday night the Itata unexpectedly raised her anchors and steamed away south, putting the I'nltetl States marshal on shore eight miles down the coast. The marshal reported tiiat af ter weighing anchor a h.ittery of heavy guns was raised from the bold, the olllcers and men were armed to tin teeth, ami the vessel was converted into a war ship. Her action was a violation of neutrality laws, and her escape- placed tlie United States government in an embarrassing po sition as not having used proper diligence to prevent an Insurgent vessel from lilting out at our ports to engage in war against a nation with which we are at peace. Such negligence on the part of our government was clearly a violation of the underlying principle established before tlie fJeneva tribunal. The war ship Charleston, lying at San Francisco, was therefore ordered into commission, and she sailed on Satur day with orders, as Is supposed, to capture tlie Itala if iJsslble. Whether the Itata will put Into some Mexican port, or wheth er she will proceed down the South Amer ican coast, ns rapidly as may be, is a quo rum of interest, and news of the cliase is eagerly awaited. The Omaha, which had just arried from a cruise in foreign wa ters, ami other go eminent ships on that coast, were also instructed to look out for the Chilian vessel. The schooner liobert ami Minnie, was captured on Saturday and her olllcers placed under arrest. Keports come from Mexico of two ves sels being seen off that coast, presumably the Charleston in chase of the Itata. There is also a story of an engagement be tween them, but such reports lack con tinuation. Tin- Pi-esltlenl's Journey. I'residcnt Harrison received an enthusi astic reception on ids visit to Washington and Oregon last week, and Ids homewanl course- from the l'aclfie coast has been a continued ovation. The special train bear lug bis party entered Nebraska on Wednes day, anil nowhere lias his reception been mote cordial. At Omaha the people- turned out en masse to receive him, and a proces sion of police ami military escorted him through the streets of the city. He was welcomed at the High school building by lL',000 school children. The President Is tlue to arrive in Washington today, and will there tint! important matters of state awaiting his attention.

Tlie snide Insurance concerns have re ceived a side-winder in New Hampshire, nsurance Commissioner I.lnuelian having notlllctl them that they must comply with tlie Harder law, passed by the last leglsla- tire, or quit the state. Under this law In surance companies doing business ill New Hampshire must have a paid-up capital of S'J00,(l00, or cash assets of the same imoiiut, invested as the law requires, and u addition are obliged to possess assets qtial in amount to all outstanding liabili ties. This makes the last man insured equally protected with the one who takes the first policy. Of tin 200 orders lu New Hampshire only 28 have thus far made re mits to the commissioners, and these have only $:)28,041.8.'i on hand, with $Hti,2.')4,430 lue to certificate holders. On such a showing Commissioner I.innehan naturally says: "Hut one con- luslon call lie reached hy a man who cares for bis reputation as a public servant, and that is that tlie various plans on which the orders which have thus far reported are founded are not such as to justify the be lief that they are sound financially or ben fiolal morally." Tried by the test "that the last man insured should lie equally pro tected with htm who has taken the first risk or policy," they are all notoriously wanting; anil hence lie refuses a license to tny of the 'JS. and they will therefore be forced to decamp, the onler of the "(Jolden Seal," "l'eople's Five Year Henelit Onler," tc, included. The remaining 172 or nore operating In New Hampshire will in lue time be tried by tlie same test, pre sumably, and summarily ordered out of the state. The lining Sett l'U'Hiti. In bis latest diplomatic letter on the Her- ing sea seal fisheries Mr. Hlaine argues with irresistible logic the right of our gov ernment to protect the seal from slaughter luring the breeding season. In doing tills be completely turns the tables on Lord Salisbury by citing the law under which f!rcat Ilriiain regulates the method of fish ing over 2700 square miles of water off the the northwestern coast of Scotland. Mr. Hlaine shows that the language of this British statute would require only to he changed in its expressions to adapt it lo Un seal fishery ami cover all the rights which the United States claims in the waters of Hering sea. So far as arbitration is con cerned Mr. Hlaine does not object to ad mitting the question of damages to Eng lish vessels, if the case goes against us, but very properly suggests that it be supple mented by that of compensation for the seals wrongfully taken by Canadian vessels during the period, if the ease Is decided in our favor. The Alt a rag 11 11 t'ltnnl. Kx-Senator Warner Miller of New York, the president of the Nicaragua Canal com pany, who has recently been on a tour of inspection of that great American under taking, brings home a highly satisfactory iiccount of Ills tour. Mr. Miller left New- York for (ireytown on the 14th of March He was shipwrecked on his way, but reach ed bis destination on the second of April The steamer which carried him to Grey town sailed into the harbor there in a 14 foot channel. Only a year ago the port was choked by a sandbar, but the canal company has succeeded in opening It, and is building a long breakwater to make the channel permanent. The work of the con struction parties has thus far been devoted chiefly to the erection of piers, barracks, workshops anil storehouses, and the build ing of a railroad, hut -Mr. Miller found that the big dredges had a half mile of the canal already excavated to the deptli of 10 feet, and the full deptli of :50 feet will be reached by other dredges coming after. President Miller and his party inspected the whole line of the canal from the Atlan tic to the Pacific, 170 miles in length, of which about (14 is river, .10 1-'. lake and 20 1-2 basin navigation, leaving only about 2l miles for actual excavation. The entire party, he says, were greatly pleased with their trip across the country, and all of the engineers expressed themselves as entirely satisfied with the feasibility of tlie route and of the perfection of the plans of the engineers of tlie canal. Still more than this, Mr. Miller Is satisfied that the work can be down within the estimates. MIXOlt NOTES. It Is reported at Boston that Canon Far- rar, the noted English divine, Is to succeed Phillips Brooks as rector of Trinity church In that city. The ofllcials of the cliurcl refuse to say whether the report Is correct or not, declaring that no selection can be made until Dr. Brooks Is consecrated as bishop of tho diocese next fall. A notable musical combination which has been agreed upon at Boston Is that of the Symphony Orchestra and Boston Sing ers. Tho prince of "Wales Is said to bo In debt to tho amount of $1,500,000, three-fourths of which resulted from heavy play and bet ting transactions dining the past seven months. The only way out of tho ditUcul- ty seems to be for tho Queen to pay the debts of her unworthy offspring, but sho has not the reputation of being very liberal with her immenso fortune. One hundred and nlnety-nlno "Bond In. vestment" companies chartered In other states must stop doing business In Massa chusctts, a new law just passed cutting off tho golden opportunities of the people who are engaged in these peculiar enterprises. Secretary Blalno has been 111 In Now York this week, but is now improving. It is said to bo doubtful, however, whether ho will attempt to resume his duties i;i Wash ington during the hot weather.

First It brings together diversified In dustries which never fall to vastly Increase tbt! personal intelligence, industry and wage-earnings of the people. Second It adds prodigiously to the power of Increasing, by machinery and steam and water power, the necessaries of life and of advanced civilization, and also greatly cheapens the cost of subsistence. Third It furnishes an opportunity for very person to find the employment best adaptetl to Ids or her genius and capacity, that will secure the largest income or tlio greatest happiness. Fourth It creates a home market, with out which the cultivators of land In Amer ica would be but a little better olf than our aborigines. Fifth It is tlie, bulwark of national In- ependence in peace or war. Justin S. M11111111.1..

Those who are tlisposcd to class oratory among the lost arts mitsl reconsider that onclusion in view of the President s tour. He has been travelling across Hie continent to the Pacific, anil every day be lias made two or three clever speeches, good-natured, lined, full of tact, and expressing his views courteously, and the whole country reads n surprise, and a great many worthy peo ple say that here is a great man who has been some how concealed under a visionary bat, but who will be henceforth estimated at ins true value, and undoubtedly renom inated and re-elected to the Presidency hy tlie acclamation of ids party. If oratory can mi radically change the general imprcs- ion in regard to the President, it is certain ly not a lost art. Our lliifc Iiitc-rmil Commerce. ISeimtor Frye in the May Koniiu. Statistics of our internal commerce have never lieen accurately collected, but it has teen estimated that the domestic produce moved and exchanged In this country last year amounted in value to -2.1,000,000,000. flie annual river commerce of Cincinnati s valued at more than $.10,000,000. The tonnage that passes up and down the De troit river annually is greater than that which enters the port of Liverpool. The number of vessels that enter and clear at Chicago exceeds every year by 7,000 the number of those that enter and clear at New York. The tonnage passing through the Sault Ste. Marie in 181)0 exceeded that passing through the great Suez canal by 1,000,000 tons. Our lake, river, and coast wise tonnage amounts lo nearly 4,000,000. I lie present marvelous cheapness of water transportation is of inestimable value to the people in enabling that transportation to compete with railroads and to regulate their charges. Naturally the demand for the improvement of the lake harbors, of con necting streams ami canals, and of the im mense water-courses ot this country lias increased in its Importunity witli the in crease of tills commerce; but the increasing appropriations in the river and harbor bills ire not even yet one-half as large as the unounts proposed by tlie engineer boanl. It will be remembered that in a series of tests at the Annapolis proving grounds last fall the government found that steel plates in which there was a small admixture of nickel developed a power of resistance greatly in advance of the armor plates ordi narily used. Another advance even more Important has now been made, by treating the nickel-steel plates by a process of sur face carbonization invented by 11. A. Har vey of Newark, N. .1., anil known as the Harvey process. Plates so treated were penetrated no more than a quarter of an Inch when attacked by a rapid-firing Hotch kiss gun with forged steel projectiles hav ing a striking velocity of 1800 feet per sec ond. Similar shots easily pierced the ordi nary steel plates in almost every instance. I lie results indicated are Important. Ihey show that the armor of battle ships treated by the new process may be very much light ened, while still giving complete protection, thus allowing more anil heavier guns to be carried, greater coal capacity and other ad vantages. Tho discovery of an enormous under ground reservoir of water in tlie midst of the Sahara desert will undoubtedly develop trade and travel throughout that region. Explorations have shown that there are large portions of the Sahara which aro really capable of cultivation, and after a time it will doubtless be as completely ef faced from the map as has been the great American desert. The Johns Hopkins university has re ceived from Col. J. Thomas Scharf, tho Maryland historian, one of the most valua ble private collections of Americana hi this country. The collection includes a great number of books, more than fiO,000 pam phlets, several hundred unpublished manu scripts, materials for a history of New York city and vicinity, and of Missouri, Pennsyl vania, Maryland and the Southern states, and several thousand rare autographs and broadsides. While the population of Maine has in creased since 1880 only 12,150, or 1.87 per cent, the 20 cities and towns, with a popu lation of 4000 and over, havo Increased 31,010, or 10.24 per cent in population. The wool clip in Australia this year Is the largest In the history of the colonics, and will reach $100,000,000 lu value. There will be 20,000,000 bushels of wheat for ex port. The colonies are said to bo extreme ly anxious to trade with tho United States. What Is said to bo the largest block of stone ever quarried lies now on the ground at the Vlnalbaven granite quarries of Maine. It Is a solid shaft without a crack or flaw, 115 feet long and 10 feet squaro at the base. Tlie great ditllculty will bo In moving It, for It Is 850 tons lu weight. Tho late Henry Bcrgh, tho friend of dumb animals, is now commemorated by a statue in City Hall square, Milwaukee. It Is of heroic size, cost $30,000, and shows Mr. Bcrgh stroking tho head of a crippled dog. Tho value of diamonds and other precious stones Imported Into this country In a sin gle year is set by tho census returns at about $12,000,000, and tho demand Is rap Idly Increasing. In no other country In tho world aro so many of these expensive orna ments worn.
