Some Interviews.

Among those most interested were the
visiting merchants brought up by the Santa
Fe. Col. c. L. Yancey Of Temple said: II
am astounded. l had read great deal in
the papers about the Fort Worth packing

no fear of the future prosperity OF any city
tagging behind in the race for srst place
with such men as John 4. Hoxie to promote
such enterprises and such men as Col. Bar
mum TO run the machine. Texas is an EN-
pire within herself, and this packing house
and its success demonstrates that she can,
II she will, become self sustaining and in
dependent. Why. with such men as Hoxie
to take the lead, you could build q Chinese
wall around Texas and she would still
be prosperous. l feel like throwing my hat
IL the air and kicking it up again when it
comes down, and giving three big cheers
for Fort Worth and that man HoXie"
Col l.. K. Wade of Temple said: II say,
boys, l move We buy a carload of bacon to-
day and have it shipped at once as a token

men, and shipped by Texas railroads, has

Armour ct al. have held undisputed sway.

condition of winter wheat $50 of rye 1914.
The Atlantic and Gulf coast re-
port large acreage was planted
and in good growth by the ad-
vent Of winter Suitable weather and soil
conditions enabled the farmers of the Ohio
valley states to put in a full breadth, under
entirely favorable circumstances and
proper combination OF sunshine and mois-
ture, which continued until the cold weather
set the plant into winter quarters with
sturdy growth and good color. In portions
of Kansas and Nebraska the prolonged
drought of last summer extended into the
period of seeding, interfering somewhat
and rendering terminating slow, but sea-
sonable. The weather during the late fall
and early winter was sufficient to Offset the
disadvantages of the late start. The entire
season was favorable in California, while
the Oregon dry seed beds received moisture
in time to secure good, though late, growth.
The weather was generally mild over
whole area and while the snowfall was
comparatively light it came when most
needed, protecting the plant during the
coolest weather
The Ohio valley and Trans Mississippi

lar theory theory was true, and if the
whole space now occupied by our solar
system was once occupied by q fog-like
matter which revolyed in the direction the
planets now revolve, and which was caused
thus to revolve by the outer portions fall
ing toward the center, and this condenSar
ton toward the center causing rings TO be
thrown of forming the planets, the outer
planets would have originally had greater
velocity than the planets nearer the sun,
and as the elements surrounding the sun
must be more dense near it than at the
orbit Of Neptune, the outer planets would
not meet with as much resistance as those
nearer the sun and therefore those farthest
from the sun, II the nebular theory be true,
ought to move with greater velocity than
the inner planets.
1t Is also held by astronomers that the
outer planets were formed first, and are the
oldest, but as the Iebular theory dies this
idea must die with it. The electric theory
of the universe claims that all the planets
are the result of comets that have been
drawn to our sun, and whose constitutions
have enabled them TO survive the severe or
deals they were compelled 10 pass through.
Comets are evidently formed in choatic
space, as have argued in reference to the
formation of atoms and molecules, and as
our solar system Is constantly moving into

have been for millions of wears. growing IN

with 4 weak electric atmosphere will fall
on the earth or sun, or some of the other
planets that may be in its path while NOV
ing toward the sun, and when they strike
our atmosphere We call them shooting stars
or ueteorS. But if this newly found body
has a well developed electric organization.
its electric atmosphere Will not permit it to
enter the atmosphere of any other well Or
gained body, and therefore it becomes a
comet. 1t is well known that the orbits of |
comets are very much elongated. running |
very near the sun, and receding to great |
distance from ii. 1t is also known that at |
each revolution around the sun these orbits |

New YORK, April s.-The controversy be-
tween Superintendent of Immigration
Weber and agents Of The steamship Inizc-

OF undesirable Italian Immigrants, is not
Yet ended. Col. Weber is determined that
the immigrants shall be conveyed back on

expense of the vessels owners. IL =
sharp letter the agents o. the Tnizetiva
say that the superint cndent had no right 10
crowd the undesirable immigrants back on

The agents have declared that the Iuezs-
tiva is not going back 10 Italy, and that
they will not be responsible for their re-
turn unless the immigrants are retained az
the barge office until such time Us tho
agents are ready.
This discrimination on the part of the
agents mas aroused Col. Weber, and he has
laid down the laws on the subject. Col.
Weber adds in his letter 1t cannot be

ITALY NERVOUS.
SHE is ANXIOUS TO HEAR FROM
OUR UNCLE SAMUEL.
If No Reply Comes by Wednesday She
Proposes to take Her Playthings
and so Home.

ROME, April 1.-The principal topic of
conversation to-day in political official cir
cles mas been the latest report put in circu-
lation last evening to the effect that unless
the American government made very
speedy reply TO Premier di Rudini's last
note Minister Porter would be politely re-
queSted 20 leave Rome and the italian
legation would be recalled from Wash
ington.
General interest in the New Orleans af-
fair had subsideG, and everybody supposed
that the incident would be settled through
the usual diplomatic channels without fur
Their irritation or friction.
Last nights report, therefore, came with
startling suddenuess. 1t seemed to indi-
cate, if it should prove wall founded, that
the Italian cabinet was agIin dissatisfied
with the progress of correSpc ndence with
Secretary Blaine, and proposed to demand
that the United States government should
act i'll the matter with greater prolnDtitude.
Such attitude on the part of the Italian
government seemed SO unreasonable il. view
of all recent developments that last nights
report was at first generally discredited.
Many OF the newspapers, however, t,
day gave 1t conspicuous prominence in then
columns, and asserted their belief that it
was substantially correct. They say that
America is to be allowed until next Tues
day April IA, to reply to the last Italian
note.
The original report has fixed to-day as
the limit.
If by Tuesday no reply is forthcoming
from Secretary Blaine, then, the papers de-
clare, diplomatic Cancellation between the
two countries is to De wholly suspended.
AS a result of the newspapers assertions
the report this evening is not so summarily
dismissed as yesterday. Many who at first
secuted it as utterly without foundation are
now inclined to think that it may have
some basis, while believers in Italian self
assertion and various policies are elated.
give it increased FEASIBILITY. This is
learned this evening from a prominent
member of the chamber of deputies, who is
An ardent supporter of Marquis di Rudini,
and who is believed to share his confidence.
Whether or not the premier has actually
decided upon the extreme course in
Dictated, it is unquestionable that
this course is under discussion in
the high government circles, and
meets with favorable comment. 1t may
be that the deputy who started the report
supposed that the decision had been reached
when the subject was really only being
considered, and it may be that the report |
was given out to test public opinion be- |
fore the cabinet should commit itself alb
solutely to SO grave step.
A dispatch from America states that Sec |
rotary Blaine has already prepared his |
answer, and it is thought likely that he has |
already sent it to Rome instead of through |
Marquis Imperiali. If that be the case, he |
must have dispatched it by post, as it is |
certain no reply has yet been received.

This person has secured the patent for the
Dominion Vi Canada and several foreign
countries. The Canadian, who appears to
be pretty good judge OF such matters, is
sanguine and predicts it will be the only
machine that can be sold as soon as it IS
presented to the people. And his views ara
certainly correct, especially if II be true
that Irvine used in the United States costs
the farmers $1,000 coo annually. If that
amount can be sayed 10 the farmers it
would be great boon. 1t is hoped the
company will decide 10 establish their
factory here, as it would soon be the means
of bringing a railway and prosperity to our
town. They have already received COM
munications from other towns hoping to in
duce them to establish their works there.
Montague has the honor of inventing and

and we hope it viii enjoy the proSp erity of
