An unexpected delay has occurred in the rcgotiatlons toward.- an Alaskan boundary modus viver.di which makes the future for the modus quite problematical. Extended conferences on the subject were held today, the result being far from encouraging. The principal difficulty arises from dealing with Ottawa as well as London, this dual negotiation causing great delay and complication. At the outset the United States proposed a modus with a temporary line alon,r certain peak. The British ambassador forwarded this to .London and Ottawa. The Canadian oflidals have now proposed changes in the line and after considerable delay the authorities In Innon approve the changr-s proposed hy Canada. 11 is not ftaUd what the respective line? are, but th-y are sufflclf n!y apart to make it quite unlikely that any immediate agreement ctin fco reached, even of a temporary nature, as to the boundary. In a report to the secretary of war, Tr. Victor S. Clark.-director of public Instruction in Porto Rico, siys that only 0 a month can be offered to American teachers, with transportation to the island from New York. The HnRlih-'pcakins supervisors are men and through them it Is hoped to weed out abuses and develop some system of control. Dr. Clark has prepared a revised course of study containing only such subjects as are taught In American schools. It la understood in thif country there Is no pystem of higher education in Porto Rico. No schools on the island afford adequate American college? work. The public schools are kept open twelve months in the year and six days in the week. In summer only morning sessions are held. There is no coeducation of the sexes. No sehoolhouses exist on the island, the schools usually being held at the residences of the teachers. Only a part of !h pupils have text-books. In many cases the pupils take to the schools the chairs which they occupy. The pupils t tudy aloud. About 52. schools are reported In the island and a little over 13 annually pjid for their support. A great desire is. manifested to learn Kngllsh. New text-books are being published in th' country to replace the Spanish books now in use. A pedagogical museum and American library has been established at San Juan. As a result of the, Cabinet meeting to-day Secretary Alger will issuo an order to permit the shipment of cargoes from Porto Rico to the United States in other than American bottoms. The general subject of the conditions In Porto, Rico was discussed from the. standpoint of th memorial recently presented to the President hy Dr. Henna and a delegation from the Porto Rlcan people, ana it was decided that this was the only relief which could bo afforded at this time by executive order. The question of free trade with Porto Rico or modification of the tariff duties, which the natives ask, is one for Congress to determine but It was thought that some relief could be afforded by allowing the shipment of cargoes to the United States In other than American thlps. . Untied States Minister Bridgeman has cabled the State Department from La Paz. Bolivia, that the revolution there has ended and everything is quiet. E-Governor Lord, of Oregon, has declined the tender of the mission to Persia. Gov error Lord was an applicant for the Peruvian mission. ilaj. John C.

The Mexican cmbasry has been advised that the treaty was ratified by the Mexican Senate on April 12. and al ready has been ratified by the United States Senate, so that it will become effective as soon as proclaimed by the Presidents of the two countries. The text of the treaty has never been made known, but. besides pro viding extradition for all crimes, not political, its principal feature is in giving the treaty retroactive effect, so as to rover crimes committed while no treaty existed. Mr. I P. Mitchell, assistant controller of the treasury, has decided that officers of the navy, appointed from civil life, arc not entitled to be credited with live years service) in computing their pay under thp proviso authorizing such credit in Section 11. of the act of March 3. 1SCO. so as to increase their pay for any time prior to July J. the date when the main provisions of the sec tion relative to pay go Into effect. m v w Secretary Long has relieved the board ap pointed by him to examine candidates for appointment in the marine corps, and has appointed another, headed by Major Richards.

In June. Ps?l, it was believed by many that the Colorado desert was going to disappear from the face of the earth. Ingenious speculations cn the effects of the change on the climate of southern California appeared In the papers. But, with the summer of lfid, the water in the Colorado declined, and before the autumn there were only a lew inches in the stream at Algodones. Meanwhile there was no relaxation in the terrific heat of the region now covered by water, and the evaporation at a hundred inches, which is only about half the yearly evaporation in the Bay of Bengal. When the supply of water from the river fell off. while the loss from evaporation continued, it was a mere question of time when the new sea would dry up. That Is what happened, and dreams of reclaiming the Sahara of California, were postponed till now. Whether the freshet of 1SW will throw Into the great hollow more water than the sun can lick up remains to be seen. The process of throwing the surplus water of the Colorado into the desert could of cour.-e bo assisted by engineering works on the river bank: it Is possible that they may be attempted this year. Lieut. Williamson, of the engineers, who surveyed the desert nearly half a century ago. under orders from Secretary Jefferson Davis, reported that "a larjre portion of the surface of the desert, formed of lacrustine and alluvial clay is capable of suoporting a luxuriant growth of vegetation. "It Is of nearly the same composition as the alluvial bottom land of the Colorado, which is covered with a growth of rr.esquite, cottonwood. willows and grass. Good crops of corn, beans and melons are raised close by." Another writer said that "a sufficient supply of water to irrigate the Colorado desert would convert a hopeless waste which is a terror to travelers, and the home of horned toads and rattlesnakes, into the most productive portion of the most productive Slate of the Union. It may pay to watch the reports of the water gauges on the Colorado. l.nsaen by Fire. LEXINGTON. Ky.. April 21.-Tlay City, forty mil's east of here, was nrnrly destroyed by flr to-day.

A LOXnOX VIEW OF TUB WORK OF L PATH I OTIC AMEIUCAXS. Effort to Discredit the McKinley Admlnlfttrntton nnd Force Abandonment of the Philippines. LONDON, April 22.-The Saturday Review, commenting' upon General Lawton's retirement from the Santa Cruz district of Laguna de Bay. says: "Unpatriotic politicians in the United States are doing their utmost to create a panic, in the hope that the Philippines may be abandoned and the party in power discredited. It is an ignoble Came, and we sincerely trust It will be unsuccessful, if the Americans retire from their self-nppcinted task the great Republic must take the brand of 'coward as well as tho brand of 'Cain with which Lowell declared it to be marked." Tlr'tlKli Protection at the Cnpe. LONDON. April 21. In tho House of Commons to-night, while the estimates were under consideration, the advanced Radicate raised the question of the increase of the British troops at the cape from three thousand to nine thousand in two years. They ruggested that this was intended to coerce the Transvaal, and moved a reduction in the vote. Sir Herbert Campbell Bannerman said that such a permanent increase was a grave matter. Mr. A. J. Balfour appealed to the committee not to continue an irritating discussion. He declared that the Idea of coercion was "too extravagant to dwell upon." and had never entered the mind of any responsible people. The increase, he said, was due to the necessity of protecting coaling stations and, in part, to conceivable possibilities that might arise." The committee rejected the motion to reduce the estimates by 150 votes against 80. Germany AVnntn a. Coaling- Station. LONDON, April 22. Tho Daily Chronicle Fays, this morning: "We are Informed that, during the Hispano-American war, Germany proposed to the United States the cession of a coaling station in the Philippines in the event of annexation, together with the exchange of commercial privileges. The United States replied that the proposal was premature, especially In view of the uncertainty as to the way the public would regard the request. Later Germanv asked the United States not to annex the Caroline islands, claiming the first right to them herself and renewing her request for a coaling station in the Philippines in exchange for Islands in the Marshall and Brown groups, east of the Carolines. The United States repented that the request was prematura, and the negotiations are still in abeyance." DcpofiltionM of Ilspert. PARIS, April 21. The Figaro, continuing to-day its publication of the testimony given before the Court of Cassation in the Dreyfus revision inquiry, prints the deposition of host of experts on handwriting. with the conflicting opinions as to the authorship of the bordereau. Most of these are of little or no interest. M. Chlncholle. a journalist, testified that during an adjourn ment or the Zola trial he overheard Ksterhazy admit that he (Esterhazy) wrote the bordereau by order, adding: "General Bil let's meanness is well known; and If he had given me (Ksterhazy) SO.000 francs in the course of a twelve month, it was not for nothing." From this M. Chlncholle concluded that Esterhazy had long rendered police services to the intelligcncy bureau. The Torpedo float Somer. BKRLIN. April 21. An official of the German Navy Department says th United States torpedo boat Somers, purchased in Germany before the war, and now on Its way to New York on board the Atlantic transport liner Manhattan, after the boat had suffered a series of mishaps, contains a number of novel features, of which the agents of the United States were informed when she was purchased at the Schlchau yards, and is of the opinion that the experimental features fully explained the Somers's failure. Escape of a. Clerman Traitor. BERLIN, April 21. Serpeant Major Albrecht, of the One-hundrcd-and-twenty-nlnth Regiment, who was arrested at BrombcTg, Prussli, and was being taken In chains to Spandau, iine miles from here, where tho state -" n Is situated, has escaped from his g and has not yet been lecaptured.

King Humbert and Queen Margherlta left Sassiri yesterday for Arlnci bay. on the northeast coast of the. island of Sardinia, where they will visit the British evolutionary squadron to-day. which will be there in compliment to the presence of their Majesties in Sardinia. The London Times, which prints extracts from the adverse criticism of Major Button on the condition of the Canadian forces, says: "It is to be hoped that the reforms ho has suggested will assume practicable shape without delay. Patriotism demands the sacrifices entailed." OBITUARY. John T. Wait, a Member of the 41th nnd -i.lth Congresses. NORWICH. Conn.. April 21. Ex-Congressman John T.

The explosion of the natural gas pipe line below this city Thursday night and the igniting of the gas caused the destruction of the trestle and station building of the Ohio Valley Railroad at Captina station. The explosion also brought to the surface of the river a floater which was found by a mall carrier to-day. It is supposed to be the body of a Marietta man. who fell off a passing steamboat about a month ago. A coroner's jury which made an investigation believes that the man met with foul play, there being evidences of three blows on his had. Robbery was not the motive, as fU was found on the body. Many Flovrer Ilultin Frozen. CHICAGO.

Only One Game Finished, and that Warn Won by an American Student. NEW YORK. April 21. Tie match at chess on six boards between American and British university students began to-day. The Americana play in the theater of the Knickerbocker A. C, this city, and the British contestants sit in the room" of the British Chess Club, Whitehall, London. The moves are recorded by cable. The players were paired as follows: Board 1-Fa'k, of ColumMa, va Tattersall, Cambridge. Board -'Meyer, Columbia, vs. George, Oxford. , Board Z Arensberg, Harv ard, vs. McLean, Cambridge. , Board 4-Cook. Yale, vs. Hulbert. Oxford. Hoard 5 Young, Princeton, vs. Lias, Oxford. Board 6 Catchings, Harvard, vs. Softlaw, Cambridge. The Americans won the toss and selected to play the white men on the odd numbered board- At the first table Falk, of Columbia, and Tattersall. played a regular variation of the Ruy Lopez, which did not produce any striking features In the opening. Eventually, however, the Columbia player allowed his opponent to develop a strong attack and, after an exchange of queens. It seemed to favor the British student, his pieces being better posted. The second board developed a K-B gambit between Meyer, of Columbia and George, of Oxford. The Englishman did not show very good judgment In the opening and the American gained a decided advantage, which he pushed to victory, the only game scored in the match. At the third table Arensberg, of Harvard, gained a good attack against Mclean, of Cambridge, at the cost of a double pawn on the K-Kt file. Arensberg erred by advancing his pawns and compromised his position. He had a chance to even matters but overlooked it. and at the adjournment it did not look satisfactory for Arensburg. At the fourth table Cook, of Yale, was at a slight disadvantage In the first part of hi3 game with Hulbert. of Oxf6rd, but managed to even the position. It was a Petroff defense. At the adjournment it looked like a draw, though some thought Cook held a better position. The fifth table found an irregular opening with Young, of Princeton, against Kllis. ef Oxford. The Britisher was taken ill during the game and the American umpire cabled that time had ben allowed him. which was assented to by Young. At the adjournment it looked as though the American could win. At the sixth board Catchines. of Harvard, laved a Petroff asainst Softlaw. of Camr. iiuge. The American outplayed his op ponent in the llrst part of the gama and won a knight for two pawns. He did not follow up his advantage, however, and nt the adjournment the Kr.glLdiman held the better ncsition. .llnimy Handler Won. NEW YORK. April 21.

Another Point Acalnt Municipal Ovrneritliip nt Detroit. DETROIT. Mich.. Anril 21. The discovery to-day of an' alleged Haw In the Meleod act authorizing acquirement by the city of Detroit, of the street railways, has raised another point against municipal ownership. The engrossed bill does not contain a clause which was in the original, viz.: Providi!; that nofhln? In the act shall affect the granting of franchises by the City Council. Governor Pingree says the omission of the clause is of no consequence. The attorneys of the Citizens Company assert that the alleged disciepancy is a strong point in the proceedings they are about to brlns to test the act. A PATRIOTIC GOVERNOR.

Captain Ccghlan was called upon to speak. He accepted, he said, all the rood things that have been said about him and his men as being meant for Admiral Dewey. Tattooing: and Snake Ultes. Leslie's Weekly. It really begins to look as If there were nothing new under th. sun. While sclent itlrt minds are discussing the anti-toxin serum treatment cf disease as if it were a new thing, the people of ancient Rurmah are calling attention to the fact that for centuries the material they have used in the common custom of tattooing has been an efficient ani-toxln for snake-bites. The tattooed Purnifse regard the bites of poisonous snakes as harmless. This, at least, is the statement of a gertleman from Rurmah, who bring? testimony to bear in corroboration of his singular statement. Scientists might well give this matter their attention.

La Gcccta Carlista, a Carlitt org.m, recently established here, describes in its later-t issue the munificence 'A L'm Carlos and his desire 'to rebuild Spain, as well as to "exterminate such men as Weyler." Senor Antonio Gonzales de Mendoza, who has been chesen president of the newly constituted Supreme Court, is one of the best-known lawyers In Havana and a man respected by all elapses and parties. He is sixty-four years cf age and the head of the distinguished Mendoza family. His great wealth consists largely of plantations and his interests were preserved during the revolution owing to his contributions to both sides. General Maximo Gomez Is arranging to publish to-morrow a list of paymasters and assistants appointed at a meeting held this evening. He will say, In connection therewith, that, owing to the necessity of tho establishment of a peaceful republic at the earliest possible date, the only troops needed are those of the intervening power, with the assistance of the rural guards in isolated districts. Therefore, he will contend and instruct soldiers of the Cuban army must disband and turn over their arms u their officers, who will deposit them in a, suitable receptacle or museum, where they will be guarded as relics of a glorious struggle. The men are then to go to work immediately. Officials close to Gomez say that If he were offered the presidency he would probably accept.

General Gomez was hi.-sed by some people who were standing on the roof of a house that overlooked the "Long live Weyler!" and "Long live Spain!"' I "Death to Gomez!" "Death to the Ameri- ! cans!" and "Death to the Cubans." The passengers and siilors on board the Alfonso XIII repeated the cries.

April 21.-The wreYk of the Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Pinion, which was sunk in the great battle that resulted in the destruction of Admiral Cervera's squadron, was discovered yesterday about three miles west of Morro Castle, In eight fathoms of water. It was found by divers from the Yankton, who made a thorough inspection, linding the hull lying on the port side and with no indications of having been struck by a heavy shell, as was originally reported. The vessel, however, is badly stove and literally riddled with sixpound shot. Evidently the Gloucester did her work well that day. for the Pluton is utterly ruined and no attempt will be made to raise her. Prig. Gen. Fred T.

SAN JUAN DE PUERTO RICO, April 21. The recall of Gen. Guy V. Henry to the United States is regarded regretfully here. He says he was obliged to ask for relief on account of poor health, and he feared to stay here through the summer. The general knows Prig. Gen. George W.

As soon a3 it was made known that " the Household Economic Association stood ready to supply a teacher for any class of eight or ten which should bo formed, applications began to come in. The demand exceeded all anticipations. Twenty-Uvo classes were formed in rapid succession, some under the auspices of missions, churches and settlements, some at the request of women who offered the use of their kitchens and agreed to get up a class among their neighbors. Whenever possible the lessons have l-en given in ordinary tenement house kitchens, some of th-e classes meeting at the homes of the daft rent members in turn. Eleven teachers are engaged In the work. The average attendance has been ten. although many of the classes have twelve or tifteen, and some as many as twenty members. Considering that the majority of tho pupils are women with family cares, they have attended with great regularity. This interest on the part of the wonv-n themselves Is the feature of the work which causes its promolers the greatest satisfaction. Their eagerness to join the c;asses proved that they realized their need of domestic training, a need the student of social science recognized long ago. Their unliagging Interest in the instruction received and their faithful application of it show that the teachers and managers are on tho right track and have succeeded in lilting the Instruction to tho requirements of the C3.Sf. The difficulties to be contended with are great. On no subject is ignorance more strongly reinforced by prejudice than on that of diet. It is useless for a teacher in a foreign quarter to present distinctively American dishes: It Is useless for her to adtise a "wholesome and nutritious" biJl 01 fare which does not take into account the habits and tastes of her pupils. It is useless to attempt any work among Jews without conforming to their customs and rules. Above all. It Is necessary to avoid injuring the feelings or affronting the selfrespect of the people It Is desired to help. One class, organized before the Household Economic Association entered the field, failed becauso the patronesses made a practice of attending the lessons ar.d watching the women's work. Another was threatened with disaster because a newspaper article, roused the indignation of the woman's husbands, who declared that if their wive were to be made fun of in the papers they would not allow them to go to cooking lessens. The husband is a factor to bo considered nt every turn. "My man won't touch that" is condemnation enough of any dish. On the other hand, a sample of the day's menu handed to a pupil with a friendly, "that's to take home, to your husband." is pretty sure to win a friend for the cooking cliis. and, perhaps, to introduce a new dish Into cue home, at least. The men are ttrongly in favor of the cooking lessons. .nd ihe teat hers have yet to hear of on- who begrudges the weekly 3-eer.t fee paid - each woman and used to purchase materials lor the lessen.

she has learned at cookie? school wr;lut promptly giving evidence :hu she can itpeat the lesson at home make3 tiouble for herself. "What's the good cf your going to cooking school, if this is the kind of meal you give a man?" demanded one tired laborer who found a can of something hastily got from the grocer's, and the remains of a bakery pie set out for his supptr. "Where's one of them rice puddings I've heard much about? Seems to me it's time I had one." "I'll take this biscuit to my old man." said a German woman, "and he'll say. 'Go some more; go some more.' And occasionally an enthusiastic husbani has been known id come home early in order to make the fire ready for the cooking lessen. A very successful class meets In the kitchen belonging to a German woman on the Kas: Side. The family of four live in two rooms. A small gas-stove serves for all cooking purposes and heats both rooms. The expense for light and heat has been less during the severe winter just past, so the mistress of the place says, than the expense for coal alone in the previous winters. Herelen women were gathered the other afternoon to take a "bread lesion." Only one of them was in the habit of making bread at home. As many as- there was room for at the table took part in the work of mixing and baking raised cinnamon cake and coffee cake made from the dough, and in shaping rolls. All had practice in kneading the dough. The teacher explained the nature of yeast, why it must be dissolved in tepid water, and why slack-baked bread was unwholesome. In another class, meeting on the same day, the lesson Included clam-chowder, biead and a simple pudding. An Important feature of the lesson is the meal which usually follows it, when a table is set with whatever the household affords, and teacher and pupils gather around it to test what they have prepared. The cooking lestson is, for many of them, the social event of the week. The teacher takes the opportunity to talk about home keeping and can give many helpful hints In a friendiy way. It is a rule that no utensils shall be used except such as are commonly owned by the pupils. When for any reason the class meets at a mission or settlement, the same limitation Is adhered to. "We use tomato cans even," said one teacher. "Often the members of the class bring dishes with them when the supply in tho kitchen where we work Is very small, but I try never to embarrass a woman by arking her before the others for any article she may not have. I look around before the class comes in. and if there is no rolling pin, for instance, I find a bottle, and when the dough is ready, I quietly pick up the bottle and roll it out with that. This kitchen we are in to-day is larger and cleaner than most of them. I like the other women to seo how nice a kitchen can be kept. We are pleased to find that some of the worst kitchens have improved wonderfully since the lirst lesson. QUAY INNOCENT. (Conelniletl from First Page.) to be hoped, the reckless disregard of right and decency, of public morality and political purity that characterizes the Quay machine now intrenched in otfice in Pennsylvania. But friends of good government should not despair. There are other indictments undisposed of still hanging over Quay, whatever may be their fate, even though it should be a technical acquittal, the contest against the degrading forces, practice and principles which Quay and his machine represent will be carried on until justice and right, morality and honesty shall triumph. "The friends? of good government will reenllst In this warfare to-day and must continue unremittingly and unflinchingly the strife ngalnrt all wrongdoing and wrongdoers in any party and in all parties, regardless of temporary pet-backs or defeats.

until the treasury jobbers shall be driven from oiclal power in the commonwealth. To-day's verdict settles nothing but the fate of the single bill of indictment on which Mr. Quay was tried. The facts of the treasury's peculation and jobbery elicited in his trial and wholly unanswered hy him or any other witness, cannot be effaced by the surprising verdict of to-day. They must be Iterated and reiterated and laid bare in all their hideous deformity before the people so that a verdict in accordance with the. trust may be reached by that larger jury before whom the special pleadings of attorneys and the stolid silence of the accused will bo unavailing. Quay ha? got his technical verdict but the trial of corruptienists and public plunderers will still go on." SEXATOH PKHOSnS STATEMENT. Appointment of 31 r. Quay the Logical IlcMilt of the Situation. PllII.ADKI.PIIIA. April 21. United States Senator Boies Penrose said: "The Appointment of Senator Quay by the Governor Is the logical res-ult of the situation. Mr. Quay's leadership In the Republican party and his candidacy for re-election as senator were made issues in the gubernatorial campaign of lart fall by the Democratic party and that faction of the Republican party which on election day generally turned In for the Democratic candidate. The Republican candidate for Governor, after a campaign of unparalleled misrepresentation andi vindication, was elected by a frreat plurality and Mr. Quay's candidacy was Indirectly sustained by the people of the State. The Legislature convened and a caucus of the Republican members was held, according to usage, and proceeded to nominate a senator. Up to a short time before the meeting cf the caucus Mr. Quay was certain of a large majority in that body ar.d had personal assurances that nearly all Republican members would attend and a.blde by its decision. At the last moment a minority of less than one-third refused to attend and the Republican nominee of the caucus, although receiving over two-thirds of his party vote, failed to receive a majority of all the members of the legislature as required by the act of Congress. The majority refused to yield to the dictation of the minority and a failure to elect a senator was the result. "In this contest Mr. Quay really won one of the greatest victories of his career. The regular Republicans in the legislature, reprr.sentimr the s-talwart Republican organization of Pennsylvania, fought to sustain the principle of majority rule in the party, and in that contention were successful. A notable precedent has been created and it will bo many years before a similar attempt is made by a minority to hold up the malority in the election of a senator In thin State. Those members of the legislature who stood so steadfastly for principle areenlith-d to great credit and their course hfl been and win be vindicated by the Republican sentiment of the State. "Senator Quay having been the chosen representative of his party, as evidenced at the November election and in the legislative caucus, and his failure to be elected beinjr the result of treason and periidy to the party by a bolting minority, his appointment naturally followed after his acquittal. The excuse made by those who remained out of the caucus that he was under Indictment has been removed and the apprehension felt by them that the State ml?ht suffer by being only represented in part is allayed. As to the power of the Governor to appoint there has been some question raised. The Governor would not have made the appointment had he net been convinced of his authority by law and precedent. The precedents on this point In the Senate have been somewhat conflicting. The earlier precedents are all in favor of this power, while a few of the later ones have apparently been against it. In the Senate some of the ablest lawyers in the body are divided on the question. As a matter of fact, the Senate, not being a judicial body, is avowedly not bound by its precedents. Caes of this character in the past have been decided largely on personal grounds and In compliance with the wishes and exigencies of the party in the majority. Mr. Quay has remarkable personal strength with senators In both parties, and the Senate is Republican by a considerable majority. The lemocrats In the Senate are grateful to Mr. Quay for his -dd In defeating the force bill, while the ublkans will be gi.id to strengthen the ajority In the body. Under these c mstances I have no doubt that his cred ,a!s will be accepted at the meeting of Congress next fall." Power to Appoint. PITTSBURG, April 21.

Hovr to Cultivate It, and It Valne n a Farm Crop. "A comparatively new and promising leguminous crop for Indiana farmers, f icX Prof. V. C. Iatta. of the agricultural experiment station at Purdue University, "is the pov bean. This plant has been successfully grown in different parts of the State and at several points farther north la the United States. It thrives in good corn soil, and will grow wherever corn may be successfully produced. Being a quick maturing annual, it will prove especially helpful to those who cannot grow clover. A crop of soy beans can be produced between tho spring and autumn trosts anywhere in the State. Tne toy bean may bo grown for pasture, green forage (soiling), for hay or silage, or for seed. It will yield nine to twelve tons of green fodder, one and onehalf to two and one-half tons of hay and ten to forty bushels of seed, according 10 variety, condition of soil, etc. "If seed is desired, the earlier varieties only should be grown In northern Indiana. T)u medium early varieties will doubtless mature in most parts of the State, and are to be preferred owing to their greater yield. The later varieties might be grown for soil renewal or soiling, but they would hardly mature seed. "The soli may be prepared as for corn. If Impoverished by previous cropping the froil should be well supplied with lime, potash and phosphoric acid. Nitrogenous manures have also proved beneficial In New England. The seed may be sown broadcast, with tho wheat drill. In rows sixteen to twenty-four Inches apart, or with the corn drill to b cutlivated as corn. The earlier varieties of soy bean may follow a crop of rye or barley or be sown in tho landing ccrn at the time of the last cultivation. If the weather is seasonable. If sown in corn put In two rows of soy beans between each two rows of corn. Sow about two pecks to the acre in rows like corn and cultivate, if seed is desired. For pasture, soiling or hay, sow four or rive pecks to the acre. "Soy bean hay compares favorably with clover hay in chemical composition. The seei Is very rich in protein, and can. therefore, be fed advantageously with corn. Tho seed should be ground before feeding. Tho seed is readily eaten. Stock, as a rule, do not relish the stems and leaves at first, but 60on take kindly to this forage. Soy beans and sorghum supplement each other as soiling crops. Corn and soy beans, together, are said to make good slUge. "Begin cutting at the time of early bloom for soiling. Cut for hay when in full bloom, and as soon as the pods have formed for tilage. "seedsmen offer soy bean seed at t2.W to $5 per bushel. This makes the cost far too great to justify growing soy beans as a general crop. Farmers are advised to try soy beans in a small way as a special crop and then glow their own sed If tho crop gives rrorr.iso of being valuable." wosiux of tiic riiiLirnxEs. ' They Occnpy a. Poult Ion. Unusual Among AMntlce, Kansas City Journal. Edwin Wildman, United States consul at Hong-Kong, declares that the Ame-iean who tries to analyze the character of the Philippines population very soon rinds himself at sea. The Spaniard, who has been engaged in this sort of study for more than 3w years has failed to get a definite understanding of the, Filipinos. The most that any analyst can do. tays Mr. Wildman. Is to uncover tho most sailient traits of. this most enigmatical race. The thirg which struck our author most forcibly in his study of the Philippines people was the comparative elevation of their womenkind. On these Islands tho women occupy a ftatlon so far advanced beyond that of the average female. Aslatio that comparison ian hardly be maeie at all. "Although the women as a class are very Industrieius." says Mr. Wildman. in his article for Munsey's Magazine, from which we are now quoting, "it may be said here, as a tribute to native character, that the beast of burden in the Philippines is not woman. To those who know tho degenerate Chinese this fact will be a feather in the cap of th Filipinos. 1 do not credit this stride toward civilization to the Influence of the Spanish rule, but to the native manliness that exists in Filipino character. Across the China, sea woman Is the lowest of her species. As a wife or concubine she Is a domestic slave. As a coolie, she is the main Fupport of her family, a common day laborer of the mcst degraded type, tilling the fields, doing the household drudRery. and working at thn most menial labor. She tolls for the merest pittance, while her lord and master smokes opium or basks In the sun. chatting fcossir with others of his kind. In bright contrast to this, the Filipino woman's Fphere is hep home and her family, though, if necessity demand it. she 1 not averse to becoming a merchant or even taking a hand at the labor of the field. She few?, spins, weave and srathers thatch and twigs to keep the hut in repair. She preserves her youth to a considerable age. and the custom of carrying her burdens upon her had make her straight of form and graceful In her movements." Intellectually the Filipino woman is really ahead of her spouse. She always is consulted on affairs touching the family, anl usually she carries the family purte. She is more ready to accept Innovation, and of this quality Mr. Wildman gives us an inkling when he says that they readily have taken up the tive of clothe? line s. whereas one might search the whole Celestial empire without ilndlng a single representative of this charactf ristic Institution of the Anglo-Saxon backyard. "When the Filipino woman gowns herself In her Sunday best." says Mr. Wildman. "she produces quite n agreeable picture to the eye, and even la her everyday costume she Is not unpicturesque. I never could fcturiy out satisfactorily why a woman, shoelets. stotklngles nnd devoid of waist covering, hatles, gloveless and decollete to a degree that would make a ballet dancer envious of r.rr liberty, should insist upon wearing a ball gown, with train, while engaged In doing the f.-mily washing or pounding tice paddy, but the ways of woman are as mysterious to man in the Philippines as clt-ewhere. The same Filipino woman, however, her well-poised head bearing a burden that would make a Chinese coolie stoop, moving majestically along the street or through the fields, one well-rounded arm steadying the head tray or water bottle, the oth.r swinging easily at her side. Is a picture that Is filling the notebook of e,very American artist in the Philippines, amateur or professional. The only detail that gives it a touch of the grotesque is the frequent appearance of a big Manila cigar clinched between two rows of betel-stained teeth, with great clouds cf smoke issuing from tho mouth and nostrils. Betel-nut chewing and cigar t-moklr.g are the vices of the Filipino women." It Is evident from the tenor of Mr. Wildman's article that he regards the advanced! station of the Filipino woman as one of the strongest indications that the race will, yield readily to Western ivilizatlon. However, thi Is not a new thought. Plutarch pets It forth strongly In his Human histories. "As man bestows consideration uion woman." said he. "Just co far has man ceased to lie an animal." It has been the history of the world that barbarous races treated their vomen meanly, while every step toward civilization has ameliorated ht r condition. The fact that In the Philippines woman Is treated as man's equal betrays either an unusual amount of virtue In a supposedly barbaric people, or elre a decrp.e of civilization which bad not been suspected. But more Important still Is the information that the Filipino women exert a great amount of influence over their husbands and brothers. No race will ever remain, long at war if they hearken to their women. We may have little doubt that If any force Is now making for peace In the Philippines it will ilnd its strongest helpmate in the sentiment of the women. The power of such a sentiment is no mean thing in any ae or clime. It more than once has turned the cours of Fngllsh history. When trharles I engaged In his memorable religious contest with the women of SootlanJ he found It easier to overthrow armies thn th sentiment of Scottish wives and daughters. The power which woman exercise was well hit eff by Cato, ;he censor, who once said of Roman rulers: "All men thlnlc they naturally govern the women; we govern all men, and our wives sovcrn us."
