One of the industries which today calls
for attention and increase, and one which
has sure promise of substantial ret
turns, is that of sheep husbandry. While
there may be question as to the posi-
BILE outcome of some other branches,
there can be none as to this. Recogniz-
ing this fact, the Trustees of the State
Agricultural Society have decided to in
crease the already liberal premiums for
this class, and to offer, in addition, the
following premiums for grade ewes:
For best pen, three in num-
Der, grade, long wool ewes
two years old .....$4.OO $500 $500
For best pen, three in num-
ber grade long wool
ewes, one year old. ....... 400 800 200
For best pen, three in num-
ber grade, long wool eve
lambs ................ 400 300 200
The same premiums for grade, middle wool and
grade, fine wool ewes.
In view of the fact that the Trustees
long ago decided not to offer any premi-
ums for grade males, it was thought best
not to open any classes for grade bucks,
but to encourage the breeding of a better
class of ewes Entries for all classes and
purses close Aug. 23d. Entry blanks
will be sent at once to all former exhibit
tors, and to any others wishing the same,
application to be made to G. M. Twitchell
Sec'y. Augusta. The officers will do all
in their power to encourage the fullest
exhibits in every department that the
coming State Fair, Sept 9th, It'll, 8th and
9th, may be the most complete in the
history of the Society.

Bicycle Records Being Lowered.

Zimmerman the famous American cy-
cler is astonishing the people of England
by the manner in which he has been low
ering bicycle records of late. The Maine
and Massachusetts, flyers are calculating
on accomplishing quite good deal in
that direction at the Portland Wheel
Club races to be held at Woodfords Park
next Saturday afternoon at 2.3O o'clock.
A splendid number of entries have
been received and the list is not yet
closed. Several riders from Lynn have
registered for the contest and also one
from South Paris. 1t is likely that there
will be three or four teams in the two
mile team race, which will make it an
event of much interest. Chambers
Band will furnish music which will add
decidedly to the liveliness and enjoymen
of the affair. These races are sure to
afford rare sport. Tickets may be OBJ
tanned at the bicycle agencies and of club

cAPRIvI RESIGNS.

A Crisis Imminent in.the German Cabinet
The ChancellOr's Resignation in the EN-
perOr's Hands.
PARIS, March ia telegram from
Berlin says that late reports that
Chancellor Won Caprivi and Count Won
Zedlitz- Trutzehler have resigned. ow-
ing to differences that have arisen over
the primary education BILL are con-
firmed.
LONDON, March 10 The Standards
Berlin correspondent says: As a nat
ural result of the resignation of Count
Won Zedlitz, the chancellor also ten
dered his resignation. but the en-
peror's decision in the matter will
probably not be known for some days
to come.
BERLIN, March 19.-It now appears
certain that Count Won zedlitz- -Trut-
schler resigned his Office at the termi-
nation Of the cabinetcOuncil Thursday,
and that he was prompted to take this
step by the statement made by Emper-
or William that he did not wish
the primary education bill passed by
a one-sided majority. The withdrawal
of the bill after forcing it through the
committee in practically amended
form would be confession Of great
weakness on the part of the govern
ment Chancellor Won Caprivis atti-
tude in regard to the much discussed
measure having been quite as that of
Baron Won Zedlitz-Trutschle
The emperor sent DIR. Lucanas to in
duce Count Won Zedlitz to reconsider
but it is believed that he declined to
withdraw his resignation.
Chancellor Won Caprivi's intention to
resign is becoming more decided He
has represented to the emperor that he
must identity himself with Count Won
Zedlitz, whose views he personally
shared. In the event of the chancellor
resigniug, it will be difficult to antici-
pate his successor or a possible combi-
nation for new ministry. DIR. Miguel,
Prussian minister of finance, is calmly
awaiting events

Will LAKE A HAND.


Russia Declares That She Gave Uncle SAN
Deed to Alaska and the Behring Sea
and hat She Stands Ready to Defend the
Title.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-There is
likely to DO a new aud very interest
ing feature added to the Behriug sea
question. report comes through
very reliable diplomatic source that
Russia has been observing the progress
of matters between the United States
and Great Britain with interest II
the arbitration treaty is likely TO be
ratified, Russia will protest against
any such action for three reasons. The
first is that Russia conveyed Alaska,
and the rights AMI the privileges
claimed now, to the United States for
money consideration. Russia can.
not stand still unheard when by arbi.
tration the right OF the Russian gov
ernment to take the action it did is by
implication to be called Ia question by
a European power.
Second-Russia stands ready to guar
antee all she conveyed to the United
States and make good her title in any
manner necessary. Russia feels that
for the United States to permit the
title to what she had conveyed to be
arbitrated is to call that title in ques.
ton, to intimate that there was lack
of authority to make such a convey.
ance. This, if persisted in, must In
evitably affect the standing of the Rus
sian empire among the treaty-making
powers To this Russia will not sub.
NIT Alexander, emperor and king,
will not permit any proceeding of Rus
sia to be thus treated.
| Thlrd-If any powerof Europe claims
or implies that the czar conveyed to the
United States with Alaska rights and
| privileges that were not his to con-
vey, Russia demands, under the comfy
of nations, that she be permitted to
deal with any such claimant in order
that the imperial ukase of the late
ruleli Alexander IL, be not placed in
contempt thus lowering the standing
of the empire among nations, and per-
mitting powers not interested, nor
party to the conveyance to pass upon
Russia's solemn treaty, made aud rati-
fed by that nation and the United
States.
This the czar asks as his right under
the equities between the two nations.
This is the substance Of the Russian
protest The state department Is un.
usually non-committal on the. subject
Mr.. Wharton refuses to answer any
questions concerning the Russian note,
for that is the shape it comes in, but a
member of the cabinet deeply inter.
ested in the present proceedings, said
that the above statement fairly covers
the facts.
1t was reported last summer that
Russia would protest against having
her actions questionedb by Great Britain,
and at the time it was stated In an in-
spired article in the Washington Post
that if it comes to trouble between the
United States and Great Britain, Russia
and France would be on the American
side. The injection of a continental
quantity into the question pending be"
tween England and the United States
may cause some unexpected turns on
this side. The result will be awaited
with the deepest interest Tho presi-
dent will probably inform the foreign
relations committee of the senate of
the Russian attitude before the treaty
is acted upon.
