GOOD FOR FARMERS.
Mr.. Caminetti Strikes a Few
Effective Blows.
The Needs of California Laid Before the
Secretary of Agriculture
in Detail.
Special to THE Monsrxe CALL

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 15.-Repre-
sentative Caminetti had an extended
interview to-day with Secretary of Agri-
| culture Morton, during " hich he renewed
| his request for the establishment of a
branch of the Agricultural Department
for the Pacific Coast, or at least for Cali
fornia, with headquarters at San Francisco.
and also for the Establishment of sugar
experiment stations in the Sacramento and
| San Joaquin valleys. There was also some
discussion concerning the practical work
necessary TO protect orchards from insect
pests introduced in the transporting Of
trees from nurseries in other States or in
foreign countries.
In support Of these requests Caminetti
| demonstrated that California does now and
has for years taken more interest In the
! protection and development of all branches
CT agriculture than any ten States, or even
the General Government itself. This was
shown by her support of agricultural socie-
ties. State and district costing about
! 100000 per year, horticultural society,
viticulture commission, forestry board and
experimental stations. the last costing her
more than twice the sum allowed by the
Government for the same work. This is
only one instance where the State has gone
to that extent The experimental station
bureau Of the department says that Call
forna is far ahead of the other States.
With this showing Mr.. Caminetti said
that all he asked was the cooperation of
the General Government. BY establishing
branch, as suggested, this cooperation can
be made effective. The results Of the
Government investigations can be then
made use Of Immediately. instead of await
ing the slow process now attending the
| dissemination Of Information from the de-
| partment The climate. character of the
soil and other conditions existing in Cali
fornia being distinct from those OF the East,
make it necessary for the Government to
put forth extra efforts TO meet their wants,
| particularly as the distance from the central
station at Washington is SO great.
The Secretary WAS interested in these
observations, and requested that Mr.
Camiuetti prepare statement embodyng
all his suggestions. The sugar experiment
station was practically put under way.

SUPPLIES SHUT DEE.
A Great Coal Combine That Exists in
Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, March 15.-The joint legisla-
tive cummittee investigating the coal COM
bine created a sensation by seizing the
books of John j. Rhodes, manager of the
Minnesota Bureau Of Coal Statistics. They
were guarded at the State Capitol till this
morning. when Rhodes sent a petition TO
the Legislature for their return, claiming
they pertained only to his personal affairs.
In the House the petition was referred to
the special committee having the inyestiga-
tion in charge without discussion.
In the Senate the matte: was antagonized,
apparently under nisapprehension, for all
opposition was withdrawn after q fiery
speech by Donnelly. He said the committee
had not yet had time TO examine the books
thoroughly, but hurried look into a few of
OF them revealed the existence of a combine
the like of which had not heretofore been
known. 1t set the prices and dealers
yenturing to deviate a hairsbreath were
shut off from all source Of supply. The
books showed that although Rhodes de-
clared he knew of no such thing as a coal
combine he had received $1,000 as fees from
those depending on the combine and letters
showed that dealers who ventured to cut
rates even one cent per ton had been shut
off from all supplies OF coal.
More sensational features are promised.

Wait for Their Pay.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-It is probable
that the clerks and some other employees in
the Bureau # Engraving and Printing not
directly employed in the production Of
Rreenba, Ks and other Government obliga-
tions viii have to take certificates Of in
debtedness instead Of cash for their salaries
for the remainder of the current fiscal year,
as the result of an error in the enrolment
Of the deficiency bill by which the word
Thousand" was left off after the appro-
priatiOD intended TO be S37, 900 for the def
cheney in the pay of clerical and other help
at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
1t is presumed the employees will not be
dropped from the rolls for the remainder OF
this fiscal year, as they will be necessary to
the working Of the bureau. 1t is likely this
will be considered a case wherein the Gov
ernmeht officers are authorized to create an
Indebtedness under the statute providing
that no Government officer shall incur in
debtedness for the Government except to
gave life and property. 1t may be held the
employment OF these clerks IS necessary to
save property" The clerks then will be
given certificates stating that they rendered
service to the value named. and these they
VIII probably be able to get discounted for
a consideration by the local money-lenders.
Several other errors in the enrolment
have been discovered. There is one in the
pension appropriation bill in the appropria-
ton Of S305, COO intended for the fees Of ex-
amining surgeons. In enrolling the word
"fve" was left out, SO that the item reads
three hundred and thousand dollars"
The deficiency of 5000 from the proper
amount will not be serious in view Of the
smallness Of the amount and of the fact that
it was made on estimates which in any extent
may be too large or too small, and which
can be remeded next session before the
money actually appropriated is exhausted.
These are but a few of the mistakes COM
mitted in the enrolment Of the appropria-
tion bills, and others are expected to come
TO light every day.

Great Luck.

MONTREAL, March 15.--The gift OF
second million OF dollars to the Royal Vic
toria Hospital by Lord Mount Stephen and

New YORK, March 15.-The White Star
Line twin-screw freighter Naronie has been
out just thirty-two days from Liverpool
without being seen or heard from, and the
agents of the line in this city admitted this
morning that they had given her up for lost.
I'VE still hope she may be SAFE" said the
local manager of the line, but it does not
look as if she is afloat, for almost every part
of the Atlantic is traversed by steamers or
sailing vessels, and she would r., all prob
ability have been sighted had she been
afloat"
If it should be possible that the Naronic
is still aflOat and is drifting far south, the
crew and passengers, numbering sixty in
all, have not suffered from want as yet, for
she was well provisioned and had suffi-
cient quantity Of canned and fresh food in
