We are often reminded of the fact
that this is a strange country, and that
it has many varieties of climate. We
learn from Texas that wheat harvest
ing has begun there, and that the
crops are abundant throughout the
State. We learn from Kansas that
the grain and corn crops there are
growing well under the May rains and
give promise of good harvests. We
learn from North Dakota that grain is
up and sprouting there, and that the
prospects are favorable, though har-
vesting will be late. We learn from
some other parts of the Northwest that
wheat is not yet out of the ground.
Thus, while the farmers of Texas are
gathering in their crops at the close OF
May, those of the far North are await
ing the harvests that will be reaped
months hence. 1t is a large and
blooming country.-New York Sun.

What England Seeks I'm Her Diffi Guilty
with Portugal.

with PORTUGAL.
PARIS, jan la.-ISpecial Cablegram to
THE BEE. The Journal Desbates gives
prominence this morning to an interview
with high Portuguese official on the rela-
tions between Portugal and England In the
course of this interview the official expressed
himself as hopeful that an amicabe under
standing would be reached between the two
countries upon all the points of dispute
touching African pos sessions, which have
caused so much irritation during the pastfew
months. Such an understanding would.
in his opinion, have most salu-
tary effect on the domestic poll
RIGS of Portugal. 1t would put
an end to all talk of az Iberian federation for
defensive and offensive purposes, and would
make impossible tho double revolution in
Spain and Portugal for which enthusiastic
repu blicans have thought the times were rap
idly ripening aud which was to end in a
union of the two countries, as powerful
Spanish Portuguese republic The advan-
tages accruing to England by the proposed
understanding would be of sufficient import
ance, the Portuguese official thought, to JUS
.ify that country in refraining from further
insistence OIL mplete settlement Of the OBJ
noxious claims.
In an editorial article commenting
on this interview theJournal attaches much
weight to the views there expressed and
thinks they will probably be verified by re-
suits. What England needs, the Journal
says. is not so much greater extension of
territory in Africa as fresh outlets for her
ever increasing commercial enterprise
Lord Salisbury, it believes, will not insist
on u recognition of British sovereignty over
the territory in dispute, provided Portugal
will remove the restrictions on British COM
merce in that region and will hereafter do
nothing to impede the extension there OF
British trade relations.

Jud ge Tuthill of Hin ois Makes Few
Pertinent Rt marks.

CHICAGO, Jan. l9.-[Specal Telegram to
The BEE. .I-Judge Tuthill, in instructipg
the new grand jury today, had few words
to say regarding bankers OF the class that
have been causing so much suffering among
poor depositors in Chicago of late.
"Some of these bankers are no better than
common rogues," said the Judge to the jury,
.'and it is apublic duty you owe to investi-
gate their methods of doing business"
Then the judge quoted from the statutes
OF this state to show that bankers, knowing
that they were insolvent and continuing to
operate their business. should beswiftly pun
ished. The court iD the beginning of his
charge drew attention to the number
or larceny cases that are on the docket
and went on to say, 'There is variety OF
roguery, but the greatest rogue of all Is he
who. under the cloak of doing legitimate
banking business, robs his deposit0rs. He
offers himself as safe person to receive de-
posits of money from citizens and knows he
Is not such person as he represents himself
to be and, when such an one receives the
money he Just as much deprves the people Of
their money as If he had stolen IT, Such
cases should receive your most serious atten-
tion. You should take such action as will
deter others from defrauding the people Of
thousands and hundreds of thousands of dol
You should look upon such violators Of the
law as though they had filched money from
the pockets Of depositors as II each depositor
had an offense committed against him.

CHICAGO Jan. 19.-Speciel Telegram to
THE Bee. 1.-The Railway Press bureau says:
1t has just developed that the abrogation Of
divisions between the Hutchinson & South
ern and Rock Island is one of the smoothest
tricks, for small one, ever played by Jay
Gould The Hutchinson & Southern was
built on money furnished by the Union Pa
cifc at the solicitation of President Chryste.
The line runs south, into the In dian Territorv
from Hutchinson A spur Of the Union Pa
cific runs to Mcpherson from Saline, between
Mcpherson and Hutchinson, u distance of
twenty-seven miles, the lines are connected
by the Rock Island. In other words, Il Union
Pacific branch is cut off entirely from the
main line unless it makes trackagc contract
with the Rock Island. This contract was
made out last Friday. 1t was abrogated b
the Union Pacific. Apparently Gould has
cut off valuable feeder, but tho milk In the
cocoanut is seen when it is learned that what
is Gonlds Union Pacific loss is Gould's Mis-
souri, Pacific gain. The Hutchinson &
Southern crosses the Missouri Pacific three
times south of Hutchinson, and 1t might as

traffic to the Union Pacific is concerned.

Gould Of the Missouri Pacific have been ap-
pointed a committee to try to induce the
Alton people and the Chicago, st. Paul Il
Kansas City to join the new western traffic
association. The mission, so far, has been in
vain and it is believed will be. 1t is known
that the Rock Island and Northwestern would
not have gone into the association originally,
had they not been bound by the p eliminary
agreement before Gould secured control of
the Union Pacific IL would have been no

both of these lines Withdrew tomorrow. The
salaries of the officers have been ar
ranged as follows: Chairman Walker, Sl2, 900

Finley, Smith and Vining $4,000 each.
Should any of them be getting more than
this AT present the difference is to be made up
by the lines now paying the larger salaries.
Thus, the interstate commerce railway asso-
citation lines must make up an additional ex-
pense Of $4,000 for Chairman Walker; the
