THE ENGLISH FARMERS MOVEMENT.

Schemes Considered Revolutionary Here
tofore Now Pushed to the Front.
LONDON, Nov 25.-The nearer the con.
ference on agriculture approaches it be-
comes the more evident that sharply de-
fined difference of policy and general aims
will be declared between the farmers and
the landlord party. The voice of the land
agitator is resounding through the country,
and proposals which a few years since
would have been scoffed at as outside the
range of practical English politics are now
being discussed by leading farmers clubs
in all sincerity.
Thus the Cheshire Farmers Club, one OF
the most important of the provincial agri-
cultural societies, is sending delegates to
the conference charged with demand for
the three "F's"-free sale of improvements,
fIity of tenure and land court to fix fair
rents. At the same time other circulars
have been addressed to members of Parlia-
ment, asking their support for . three
''F's" bill. Sir Charles Dixie, Herbert
Gladstone, Mr.. McLaren and j. w. Logan,
among others, have promised to support
these demands, and J. 7. Brunrer has in
cited the club to employ parliamentary
craftsman to put their ideas in bill form.

THE PROPAGATION OF ORCHIDS
1t Takes Sometimes II Years Before
Seeding Plant Blooms

1t Takes Sometimes II Years Before a
Seeding Plant Blooms.
Every one admires an orchid, from the
beautiful Catlyeas to those strange flowers,
the Cypripediums, and wonders at the baby
orchid, the butterfly orchid and the Es-
perito Santo. Few know the trouble and
care expended in growing these treasures,
first garnered in tropical forests with infin-
ite trouble and dangers from beast and eli
mate 1t is the fertilization and hybridiza-
tion of these exotics in the large nurseries
that are particularly interesting. Mr..
Manda, of Short Hills, who is we'll
known grower, explained these matters to
a New York Times reporter.
sAnd you will see" he said, dissecting
flower, that the pollen bags are on the
shoulders of the flower, while the stigma is
completely cut off from all connection with
the pollen by a strong, petal In natural
fertilization some insect, taking the pollen
on the legs, rubs against the stigma, and
the flower then produces a seed. In artifi.
cial fertilization We remove with wooden
toothpick the pollen, which is a plutinous
matter, and then place it on the stigma
The percentage of the success is small, but
when a seed and pod does form we have
thousands of seeds These are like the
finest dust and are planted In decayed fern

GLADSTONE'S HARD ROW.

Question on Which Unionists VIII Vote

LONDON, Nov. %. An uumistakable
symptom of the general apprehension OF an
early collapse of the Government is found in
the fact that almost no private bills are be-
ing promoted in Parliament Lawyers, who
are the best Judges as to whether the ses-
sion will be long enough to deal with pri-
v:.te bills, have advised agents not to pro-
mote such bills, on the ground that it would
be waste of money to do so, an early de-
feat of the Government being regarded as
probable.

CHICAGO, Nov 2d-The ex-Board OF
Trade man W. c. Lincoln, who as juror
has been sentenced to ayear's imprison-
ment for soliciting bribes, is said to be in

later Lincoln formed pow wertul syndicate

Chicago A canard regarding the Afghanis-

with it his nerve. About this time

SOUTHERN COAL RATES.
An Important Decision of the Inter-Stat
Commerce Commission.

An Important Decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The Inter-
State Commerce Commission to-day, in an
opinion by Commissioner McDill, an
nounced its decision of the case entitled,
"In the matter of alleged unlawful charges
for the transportation of coal by the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Company. !"
Following is a statement of the points de-
cided;
That the practice of the respondent COM
mon carrier, OF arbitrarily determining
what persons should receive the so-ealled
"manufacturers' rate" is a clear violation
of the act to regulate commerce.
Second-That the rate ofSl per ton charged
by respondent on coal, "rpn of mines, nut
and slack" is not unreasonably low, nor
disproportionate to the rate of 81 40 per
ton to Memphis; neither, in view of
circumstances affecting coal traffic at
Memphis, is a rate of 81 10 on screened coal
to Nashville relatively unreasonable as
compared with the Memphis rate; but SO
long as the Memphis rate does not exceed
81 40. rates on said kinds of coal from the
mines to Nashville should not, during any
portion of tho year, exceed 81 or 81 l5 respec-
lively, and any reduction in the Memphis
rate should be accompanied by proportion
ate reductions in rates on said different
kinds Of coal to Nashville.

TRAIN ROBBERS FOILED.
Trainmen Get Wind of Their Design and
Are Prepared for Them.


DALLAS, TEX, Nov. 25.-When the
southbound Missouri, Kansas and Texas
passenger train reached here yesterday, it
was learned that the trainmen had discov-
cred plot to rob the train near Adair, in
the Indian Territory. Passengers began
hiding their cash and valuables and prepar=
ing for the expected attack. There was a
rush for hiding places in every eenesivabis
crevice and corner.
Before leaving Vinta posse of 30 men
were collected, each armed with rifle.
They were distributed throughout the train
from the express car to the rear sleeper,
and everything was in perfect order to meet
the highwaymen, However, 1T happened
that the train was half an hour late and
freight was running on the passengers time
several stations ahead. Just after leaving
Adair several shots were fired from ambush
at the freight train. The robbers, probably
considering that this break had disclosed
their intentions, abandoned their project,
and the passenger train passed on without
being molested.
