The ReHsian Minister.

WASHINGTON, Juy 1.-THE Stale De-
partment will make 10 tort to induce the
Persian Minister to withdraw his resigna-
ton and remain at least while longer in
this country. 1t has teen suggested that
this ought to be dsne in order that Amer
lea and American interests in Persia may
not suffer in consequence of the Minister'S
refusal to serve longer in a country
which he claims has insulted his
sovereign. The officials Of the Depart
ment of State say That the Minister has
made no complaint to them and that if he
had the bess they could do would be to
write him letter disavow any SYM
patty or connection with the unpleasant
newspaper criticisms of the Shah. Inas-
much. however, as the Minister has taken
no official cogn lance of the matter the
department can do no less than ignore it

FARM NOTES.

Keep up the cultivation in the garden.

For the first two or three years keep the
soil we'll stirred around the pear trees.
Early turnips can be utilized in several
ways. The tulb is excelled by the top for
the table. the latter being used as greens.
A patch should be seeded and left over
for an cary supply of winter or spring
greens.
A zigzag rail fence is supposed to be one
of the cheapest that can be built but UNI
less the corners are kept free Of weeds it
is the most expensive fence that can be
used, as it increases the labor Of weed
killing.
One of tse best garden implements is
the rake. If used recently on the young
weeds it saves hoeing later in the season.
By raking between the rows of plants
once or twice week but little labor will
be required. while much benefit will be
impaired 10 the crops.
Tomatoes NAV be trimmed of the lowe r
branches and made to grow somewhat in
the shape of 4 tree. The main stalks of
the plants become stocky and are better
able to bear the weight of the fruit. By
supporting the vines On posts or arms
more air and sunlight vii! enter, thus
ripening the fruit more perfectly.
When il is desired to cut two or more
crops of grass from a field the grass
should be cut before the seed heads form,
as the grass has performed its mission
when it has seeded: hence if the cutting is
deferred until the seed is ripe there will be
no second crop Of Importance. Such crops
as Hungarian grass aud alfalfa may be
cut every five weeks.
Our crops in Kansas this year Twill be
the best and largest ever before known,
and the indications for high prices are
good. We expect the farmers of Ellsworth

PHrsBURGH, Pa, July IA party Of
thirty-one non union men left this city
yesterday morning for Homestead to work
in the Carnegie steel plant at that place.
When the train arrived at Homestead il
was surrounded by crowd of strikers
who frightened the new men so badly that
only three succeeded in getting inside the
mill The others ran away, closely fol-
lowed by the strikers crying "scab," but
no stones were thrown or blows struck
and no one was injured.
The aspect of affairs is serious and
trouble is locked for within the next few
days. President Weihe and Secretary
Martin, CT the Amalgamated Association,
have established headquarters at the scene
and will do all in their power tot event

The sheriff has notified the men to keep

have been secured.
The excitement at Homestead was great
" increased yesterday afternoon when at

RED LAKE RESERVATION, Mimi, July 10.
The Commission appointed to negotiate
with thu Chippewa India ms for the open.
ing OF their reservation, have had three
councils with the Indians. The first coun-
ellis were for the purpose of reading and
carefully interpreting the act of Congress
under VIII CHI the Commission acts, and in
the explanation of its provisions. At the
third council all the leaders of the bands
on the reservation. including the Thief
River band, We're present Neganmagred
had been delegated to act as spokesman,
He said that the plan set forth in the act
of Congress was a failure. Each member
OF the Commission then made an address
calling the attention of the Indians to the
fact that they had been receiving for ten
years annually $4,000 from the Govern
ment in the form of aunuities; that they
were becoming poorer every year;
that their game was being driven
from the country and that the
only resource open to them was TO
accept the liberal terms of the Govern
ment The Indians complained that they
were blamed for destruction of their pine
and fir. when, as a matter of fact the
forest fires were always set by the whites,
and that the whites came on their reserva.
ton to cut timber, while the Indians were
not allowed to leave their homes to GO to
the white mans country without a pass
from the agent. They also objected to
the money being allowed to accumulate
in the United States treasury from the
sale of their lands, claiming that their
lands were more valuable. and that they
wished the entire benefit arising from
such sales. After further explanations
by the Comm ssioners and additional as
surances on the part OF the Chippewas
that they regretted they could not accept
the terms of the act it was agreed
that another meeting should be held.
There is little probability of the leaders
changing their minds as they expressed
themselves as irrevocably opposed to the
act of Congress passed for their benefit.
