Washington May 4. Seoretary Proo-
tor aocompanied by Adjutant General
Drum Colonel Barr and Mr. Partridge
his private seoretary left Waehingtan this
morning for a tour of inspeotion of the
Leavenworth military prison and west-
ern military posts. The party will be

field. NAVAL COURT MABTIAL.
An Officer Suspended for Drunkenness
and Other Misdemeanors.
Washington May 4. The secretary of
the navy has approved tbe sentenoe and
the findings of the oourt martial in the
oase of Lieutenant William 8trono; tried
on board the United States steamer Talla-
poosa at Montevideo February 11 1889.
There were three charges drunkenness
on duty negleot of duty and disobedienoe
of orders and the aooused pleaded guilty.
ice court sentenced him to be suspended
from duty for five years on one-half pay
to keep his present number on the liBt
and to be publicly reprimanded by the
seoretary of the navy. In his endorse-
ment Seoretary Tracy calls attention
to the fact that another oourt
marMal order in 1888 remitted the
oonviotion or the same offioer for drunk-
enness. It was hoped that before the ex-
piration of his term of suspension he
would by his conduct justify the exer
cise of olemenoy shown in the remission
of part of hie sentence.
But from the
fact that within two years the department
is called on again to publish bis oonvio-
tion.it is evident that confidence was mis
pi 'iced and his second offense oommitted
while on duty as an officer of the deok. in
dicates that be has beoome addicted
to habits rendering him- unworthy of
the confidence which the department must
repose in an officer. Lieutenant
Strong may well congratulate himself upon
nis escape irom a more severe sentenoe as
well as upon the further opportunity of
reiormation offered of which he BDDears
not to have profitted. For a commissioned
offioer to allow himself even to beoome
intoxioated is bad enough but to be
drunk on duty is intolerable. Under the
oironmstanoes the eentenoe of dismissal
was remitted. That an offioer who has
been convicted of the offense disclosed in
this reoord should oontinne to be borne
on the rolls of the navy is a manifest re
proaoh to the service.
IMMIGRATION.
Statistics of Immigration to the Argentine
Republic.
. Washington May 4. The department
of State has been informed by the legation
of Buenos Ayres under date of February
27 last that the chief of the Argentine
bureau of statistics has prepared a tabu
lar statement of immigration to that
public whioh contains the following in
teresting faots:
There were in the years from 1857 to
1888 inclusive 1374797 immigrants
while the immigration to the whole of
South Amerioa during the same period
was only 1703000. The largest propor
tion of this influx from any one country
was that of Italy whioh was over 65 per
oent of the who'e followed by Spain
France England Switzerland Australia
Germany and Belgium in the order given
it is expeoted the arrivals in the cur
rent year will reaoh. 370000 and the Ar-
gentine government anticipated the diffi
culty irom large numbers arriving and at
onoe has isened orders to its British
agents to limit the departments to 200
a month as it appears that many of the
2000 Irish who arrived in one
day became dependent on publio
charity from insufficient preparations
made ror their arrival.
The Argentine government is contem-
plating the purchase of some of the pub
lio land in order to resell it in Email lots
to actual settlers. At present a private
iana corporation is offering land to lm
migrants near Bahla Blanoo at $20 per
acre on twenty years' oredit with 9 per
oent on deferred payment of installments
the oompany agreeing to furnish seeds
tools animals provisions etc. to amount
of $1000 during the first year at a fixed
price with interest as above.
AS IMTEBESTING INVESTIGATION.
Effect on Butter of Feeding Cows on Cot
ton Seed Meal.
Washington May 4. The agricultural
department has been making an analysis
of the butter from oows fed on cotton
seed meal whioh produoes unlooked-for
resnlts. The analysis showed remarkable
points:
First A low percentage of volatile
acids.
Seoond A phenomenally high melting
point.
Third A strong persistence of the re
ducing agent.
The seoond point is. of importance as
showing that mixing ootton seed with the
feed of oows in the south will tend to raise
the melting point of butter thus render
ing it more suitable for consumption in
hot climates.
Professor Wiley says from an analyti
cal point of vie the results are of great-
est importance sinoe they show that a
butter derived from cows fed
ou ootton seed might be con-
demned as an adulteration when judged
by the amount Of volatile aoid present
sinoe ootton seed is destined to be a cattle
food of great importance especially in
the southern part of the United States.
This is a faot of great interest to analysts
and dealers.
A OOMPLIMEMT TO THE MiLITli
An Army Officer's Opinion of their Move
menta at the Centennial.
Washington May 4. Captain Daniel
M. Taylor who was direoted by the secre
tary of war to observe the movement of
militia assembled at New York on the oo-
oasion of the oentennial . celebration with
particular reference to the ability of vari
ous oommands to concentrate on a
strategic point in short time has returned
to this city and is preparing his report.
He was muoh enthused with the result of
bis visit and says that fully 40000 militia
men poured into the oity
without disturbance on time and
on an average within sixteen hours
from tbe time they started from their
homes. As troop trains were drlained by
regular passenger trains and were in
many oases eiie-tracked to permit other
traffio to go on Captain Taylor regards
the time made as highly favorable and as
demonstrating that in oase of heed 70000
militia men could be assembled in New
York within fifteen hours. The Fourth
New York brigade coming from
outside the city landed
3134 men of their strength; 2250
at Weehawken launohed were ferried over
the river marohed to Madison Square gar-
den and stacked arms all in one hour and
fifty minutes and this despite tbe faot
that the ferry house station and streets
were jammed with people.
Captain Taylor also remarked npon the
enthusiastic reception aooorded by the
publio to the militia clad in plain blue
and with nothing but regular army accoutrements.

Disagreement as to the Beoently Laid Off
flat of Guthrie.
Chicago May 3. A special dispatch
from Guthrie I. T. says: A strong under
onrrent of feeling was displayed here yes
terday over the plat of the oity as laid off
by the oity oounoil. It appears that in
order to satisfy the greed of oertain set
tlers some of tbe streets were made much
narrower than others and some of the
biooEs twice as long as others. A large
corps or surveyors have been working on
the plat for some days. Tbe marshal has
begun to clear the streets of suoh obstruc-
tions as tents and frame buildings. As a
onsequenoe some people have beoome
suddenly aware thit they are living in the
Btreets; mat those that were forced
out of the streets immediately pro
ceeded to jump other people's lots. No
rouble ooourred however and it is safe
to say the good sense that pervades tbe
oommunity will prevent any serious affray.

DEATH OF A FBOMINENT EDITOR.
Major JohnU. Edwards of the Kansas
City Times Passes Away.
St. Louis May 4. Major John U. Ed
wards one of the editors of the Kansas
City Times and one of the best and most
favorably known newspaper men in the
west died suddenly and nnexpeotedly at
the MoOarty honse in Jefferson City at
about 10 o'olook this morning from a
stroke of paralysis. Major Edwards has
been at the state oapitol for some time
looking after the livestock inspection bill
the passage of whioh he fought utrenu
ously.
Major Ldwards was one of the best
known men in Missouri. At the breaking
out of the war he was editor of the Lex
ington Examiner. He went into the Con-
federate army and was a major on the
staff of General Joe Shelby.
After the war he wrote the history of
"Shelby and His Men" and then oame to
St. Louis and aooepted a position on the
Missouri Repnblioan. Sinoe that time
Major Edwards has been conneoted with
various papers in the state returning to
the Kansas City times with whioh he was
formerly oonnected about two years sinoe.
He was a brilliant and foroible writer
and was as well aoqnainted with the poll
tics of Missouri as any man in the state.
There were many q ueer oontradiotions in
his disposition and they often beoame the
subjeot of critioism. He was the friend
and apologist of the James boys during
the bloodiest epoch of their oareer. Yet
he always tried to induce them to' give np
their lawlessness and finally after Jesse
had been kill-.d it was Major Edwards
who arranged for the surrender of Frank
James and by that surrender put an end
to tbe existenoe of the desperate gang of
outlaws.

He Attempts the Murder of Several
Colored Girls in Florida.
St. Louis May 4. A dispatch from
Ooala Florida gives an aooonnt of the
doings of a negro somewhat after tte
tyle of Jaok tbe Ripper of London. On
April SO two m'les from Ooala Etta Bnr
ley a colored girl 20 years old while
working in the corn field was brutally
assaulted by a negro tramp unknown in
tbe neighborhood. He told the girl he
had watobed her for three days with mur
derous intent lie attaoked her with a
knife catting her clothes nearly all off
but innioted no serious wounds. The
girl's soreams brought aid and the negro
fled to the swamps near by and oonld not
be found.
Sinoe tbe occurence two other girls
have been attacked in a similar manner.
The man escaped each time. On satnrday
evening last Etti Burley was again as-
saulted by tbe same negro near her home.
After knocking ber down he attempted to
disembowel her with a knife and stabbed
ber aoross the breast but owing to
her violent struggles the outs
were only slight. The girl's father
and brothers ran to her aid and the
atter fired a gun at the would-be mur
derer but without effect. As the brute
was running away he said he had to kill
the girl somehow. The negroes of the
whole section are up in arms and soouring
the woods in every direotion and should
the fiend be caught be will be lynched at
once. It was reported list night that a
colored girl had been found dead in the
oods and her body elished in a horrible
manner.

Progress of the Conference

So Far.

Bismarck Will Hold on to the In
demnity Polioy as Against
the United States.
(Copyright 18$) .by the New York Assaoclated
Proa.) '
Boston May 4. The committee of the
Samoan oooferenoe has prepared a draft
of the proposal to constitute a court to
deoide questions of land tenure in ttamoa
The court is to consist of a represei tative
of eaoh of the interested powers and two
Samoaese. A complication conneoted
with existing tenures threatens to impede
progress. Messrs. Sewall and Brande have
been present daily at the sittings. Mr.
Sewall proved the untenable oharaoter
of a number of German land olaims and
farther showed that the extent of
the land claimed by foreigners was ia ex
cess of the areas of the islands. Mr
Brande gave evidence on the validity of
German land titles and said he desired to
be heard on. the leases of German plan
ters.
The committee declined tooonsider suoh
lojses as involving a question of indem
nity. English and Amerioan. delegates
express satisfaction at the progress so
far made and all sides are hopeful that
the convention will be concluded early in
June. The attitude of the Eaglish dele
gates will assist in the solution of tte
qustiOD.
Before the conference it was sua-
peoted that the entente be
tween Berlin and London would
tend to throw a balanoe against Amerioan
politicians but developments sinoe the
opening of the oonferenoe warrant the
belief that English delegates have been
instructed to join with Amerioan repre-
sentatives in opposing German preten-
sion to special rights. The reports that
Messrs. Sewall Parker and Buckingham
are not reoognized ofnoials and are so-
cially ignored are untrue. On the oontrary
they are well reoeived everywhere.
The- banquet to ba given
by the Amerioan commission at
the Kaiserhoff hotel on Wednesday will be
a brilliant affair. There will be present
besides all members of the oonferenoe the
full diplomatio oorps of all oonntries hav-
ing representatives at Berlin.
Mr. Pendleton retiring United States
minister and his daughters will leave
Berlin Monday. The report of Dootor
Knappe ex-German oonsul at Apia was
issued to-day. It is a lame de
fense of bis own oonduot. In it
Dootor Knappe oharges the adherents
of Mataafawith raiding German planters
and desires his efforts to induoe the in
surgents to abandon their positions whioh
enoroaob upon tbe plantations. He says
the di-torders ia Samoa are partly due to
Amerioan incitement. The general tenor
of the report and its publication at this
juncture suggests a latent intention on
the part of Bismarck to persist in his in
demnity demands. An appendix to the
report gives Amerioan consols an edlot
prohibiting the supplying of spirits to
sailors.
