March 3. -The newspapers of this city continue their unfavorable comments on the action of the United States Congress on the Cuban Question. The Figaro, for example, says: "Although President Cleveland Is not a man to recoil from a conflict with Spain should his electoral interests require It, ho will resist the excitement of Congress. The American statesmen will do rell not to exasperate Europe with the Monroe doctrine. It is certain that Spain will not recede, and it Is difficult to see what benefit the United States will derive from war."

With Spain the present question Is one of honor. She will strain every nerve If it means var." Commenting on the situation, the Matin says: "Spain's Indignation is Justified, but Te adVise her not to take extreme decisions by whlh she would Injure her own Interests. Americans are accustomed to these superb declarations, but they are often without effect, as In the ci3e of Venezuela." The Kstafette trusts that President Cleveland will "reflect before proclaiming- the Independence of Cuba," admins: "Spain will ot allow herself to be intimidated by the arreK"anc of the American Senate."

Results of Experiments at the Purdue Agricultural Stutlon. The appended bulletin, prepared by Prcf. W. C. Latta. has been issued by Director riumb, .of Purdue University: The recent abnormally dry seasons have caused a partial, or almost a complete, fail ure cf clover and other hay crops in rnnny sections. As a result there is an unusual in quiry about pasture and forago plants that promise a more certain "catch tnan clover, and are better able to endure drouqht than the common clovers and eras3es. very nat urally attention has 'been turned to alfalfa and kaflir corn, plants adapted to dry, ir rigated region. Alfalfa is preferred by many, as it produces a hay equal to clover and has a similar good eftect on the son. Although alfalfa can. when well started. endure drought better than clover, :t cannot produce three cr more crops the same sea son without Irrigation. Alfalfa has been grown at the Indiana ex periment station lor several years. As a result cf trial we find: 1. That alfalfa is more feeble than clever at the start, and Is very liable to be choked by weeds the first season. 2. That it increases In vigor until the third year, at least, and thus mal.ilains itself better and longer in the aoH than a common red, mammoth or alslko clover. 3. That In very dry seasons -like J89i It may yield more hay than clover. 4. That in normal seasons it sometimes vields less than clover. 5. That bu: two cuttings of llfalfa may be expected the same year witnout lmga tion. In any fertile soil, having ' sufficient porous subsoil, to permit it to ctrie deep root Into the lower, permanent moist earth, the alfalfa will probably do well. It is said to do best In light, calcaruui icam?. underlaid with a porous subsoil. Tho land should be thoroughly ana deeply u rained. and If the subsoil is at all compi :t it may be plowed to advantage. Subsoil In the fall, but sow ths seed In the spring. Select ground as free as Dos'.ble from weed seeds, and thoroughly prepare the seed bed as early in the ')rin as the srround will bear working elL If the :and is worn It .rhculd be enriched before or at the time cf seeding. Commercial fertilizers supplying lime, phosphoric acid and potash are best at first, but farm manures may be used as a top dressing after the flm year. Sow seed in shallow drills (fifteen to twenty pounds) or broadcast (twenty to twenty-five pounds), to the acr?. If brjid cast harrcw the seed in well. Heavily rod tne ground to Insure prompt and even germination. If necessary, mow tno weeds with a machine so as to admit lis -t and air to the tender alfalfa plants, ind rake off the clippings.

SOLID FOR M'KINLEY

ARKAXSAS REPUBLICANS WILL SUPPORT oiiio's candidate:. Gen. Powell Clayton Placed at : the Head of the Delegation T ro Faction In Mississippi. LITTLE ROCK, Ark.. March 3. Three hundred enthusiastic Republicans shouted for McKinley to-day until they were hoarse. They assembled to select delegates to vote fcr their choice In the national convention and every mention of protection or the name of William McKinley, Jr., brought forth a tumultous applause. The name of no other presidential candidate was even mentioned In the convention,-and the programme, as outlined in these dispatches last night, was carried out without a hitch. On the currency question the resolution reported was as follows: "We favor true bimetallism, with such restrictions and under such provisions, to be determined by legislation, as will secure the maintenance of the parity of value of the two metals, so that the purchasing and debt-paying power of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal." The resolutions conclude as follows: "Believing, that the questlonf protection of American industries should be the leading political issue in the pending national campaign, we regard Governor McKinley as the logical candidate for President on such platform. He is a olatform in himself. and the delegates from this convention to tot. .uouis are hereby instructed to vote for him as such candidate and use all honorable means to secure his nomination." The resolutions were nassed unanimously. amid deafening applause. General Powell Clayton was then escorted to the stand and delivered a characteristic speech. Every reference to McKinley was wildlv anolauded. ' " Hon. II. L. Remmel next addressed the convention. He dealt with the Democratic tariff measure and bitterly attacked Senator Jones for his connection with the suirar and lumber schedules. He said that he noped that the next Leeislature would have enough Republican and Populist votes to defeat Senator Jones's re-election, and that he (Remmel) would use his every endeavor to elect Governor Clarke In prefer ence io j ones. wr. itemmel, in referring to McKinley, said that he was the greatest living American statesman. Pointing to me paintings on the walls of the hall, he said that he 'honed that'th rwvt RtAt Legislature would remove the picture of Thomas A. Hendricks and hang in Its place that of William McKinley. Delegates at large to the national convention were elected as follows: Gen. Powell Clayton, of Eureka Snrlnes. and Hon. H. L. Remmel, H. M. Cooper and M. W. Gibb (coisreaj, or Little Rock. Fraud In Harrity'a Interest. YORK, Pa., March 3. The Democratic committee meeting here to-day developed an attempt to elect by fraud thirteen Harrlty delegates to the State convention. The national delegate candidates were Harry Gill, of Hanover, who was put forward by the anti-Harrity people, and Uere Carl, a retired banker of York, representing the Harrity faction. The anti-Harrity men were in a majority In deciding every ques tion wnicn came up. and were surprised rwhen the tellers announced the election of eight delegates for Carl .and six of GillTs men tied. The convention adjourned with tne eight Carl men declared elected.- The ballot box was then procured and unlocked In the presence of witnesses. It was seen that the Gill ticket had received a majority of votes, and a recount showed the major ity to he approximately rorty. sterrett Welser. a nephew of Carl. Is charged with having attempted to pocket the tickets after reading them. Harrlty Breaks Ills Silence. NEW YORK. March 3. The World to morrow will say: Wm. F. Harrity, chairman of the national Democratic committee, has maintained silence for many months in re spect to candidates and Issues, but he spoke frankly yesterday to the World. He made ' three extremely Important as well as interesting statements: First,, that he no longer considers Mr. Cleveland as among the possi ble candidates for President; secend, that the Democratic party in its platform must declare for sound money, viz. against free and unlimited silver coinage at 16 to 1; third, that Democrats ' are not more divided now than they were six months before the Tilden, campaign. air. Harrity has recently re turned from Chicago, where he arranged the preliminaries of the next national Democratic convention, to which he will go as a delegate from Pennsylvania, with sixty-four delegates at his back. Mngee Seeking Political Honors.1 PrTTSBUiiu, March 3. something or ai sensation has been created in political circles here over the announcement that C. L. Magee, the great Republican leader of this city, is a candidate for the State Senate from the Forty-third district. The news was a great surprise to the people of .Pittsburg, as air. 'Magee has never hekl but one office, city treasurer, and that was early In his political career. His friends give no reason for his entering the senatorial contest at this time. but the "combiners" all look upon it as a wise political move. Among politicians it is regarded as evidence that the contest be tween Senator Quay and the 'combine." which was so bitterly fought in the State convention last year, and ended In a victory for the uuayites, win be renewed in the Legislature next winter. Mandcrson Not a. Stnlklns? Horse. OMAHA, Neb., March 3.Ex-Unlted States Senator Manderson, of Nebraska, has formal ly announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. In a letter to L. D. Fowler, of Omaha, he emphatically de nies that his candidacy is in the Interest of another candidate, and says: "I am not to be used as a stalking horse or delivery waeon ior any aspirant, me gentlemen who are named prominently for the nlace are all my i'cisiiiu lnenas, ana me cniet among tnem I have known intimately and closely since youin. l nonor and esteem them all. and will follow gladly in the ranks under the cantalncy of any one of them. 1 demand fair play for them. 1 expect it for myself."

The House declined to adopt either the majority or the minority report and Tomp kins, Democrat, Keeps nis seat. The vote stood 43 to 45. Ashcraft. Cilllan and Poor voted with the Democrats. Sew York Elections. NEW YORK, March 3. Reports received of local elections in all parts of New York State indicate few political changes of a striking character.
