BECAUSE OF THE TARIFF.

President Cleveland Determined on Hav-
ing an Extra Session of Congress.
WASHINGTON, March 80 To few
congressman who have talked with him
on the subject, Mr.. Cleveland has init
mated that he will call an extra session
of congress to dispose of the tariff ques-
ton. No definite time has been set,
but the session will begin either in Sep
TENDER or October. Beyond the decision
to call the extra session the matter has
progressed no further and it has not
been decided whether any other mat
tiers will be especially urged on con-
gress-
Representative Springer, of Illinois,
chairman of the committee on ways
and means, which is charged with the
preparation of the tariff bills, was
questioned to-day relative to the time
it would take to enact new
tariff bill He said it would be inn
possible for congress to enact any
measure of the kind wanted earlier
than May if the subject were consid
cred at the regular session beginning
in December. An extra session would,
of course, bring the matter to settle
ment much quicker, as it met in add
vance of the regular session, and would
give the people fair opportunity to
judge of the merits of the measure
adopted before the general election in
November 1894.

A SKETCH OF MR. BAYARD
Thomas Francis Bayard. who has been ap-
pointed as ambassador to England, has the
proud distinction of being the first resident
ambassador ever appointed by the United
States. He was secretary of state during Mr..
Cleveland's former administration. He was
born in Wilmington, Del, October %, 1928,
came of a long line of senators and his early
ancestors belonged to q distinguished family of
Huguenots- He was fortunate in his educa-
tional advantages and on leaving school deter
mined to become a merchant, and for time
he was engaged in business as a clerk in
a commercial house in New York. In 1913,
however, he abandoned business life for the
profession of law. Three years later he was
admitted to the bar of the state of Delaware,
and entered upon general practice in Whining
ton. Two years later-in 1833-he was ap-
pointed United States district attorney for
Delaware. During the years 1855 and 1855 he
resided in Philadelphia, but he then returned
to his native state, where he continued to prac-
tice until 1858, when he was elected to succeed
his father as n member of the United States

STOCK ITEMS

To have good sheep it is necessary to-
have good lambs. and the treatment
given now largely determines this
A good sow-one good in size, dispo-
sition and quality of offspring-can be
kept at a profit until she is six years
old
Feed growing pigs largely with a
view toward building bone, muscle and
frame. Fat can then be readily laid on
later
Give the thrifty pig the extra feed
that the runt would require to live on
and they will make much better use
of it.
Notice carefully the condition of your
colts The poverty of most young stock
comes from worms Rid them of worms
and they will thrive.
Adding linseed meal to the skim milk
will make 1t better ration for the
growing calves, but do not overfeed, as
the Hnseed meal is a rich food
Vigor is an important item to be kept
in view with all animals kept for
growth, and to a considerable extent
the quality of the feed and the con-
ditions under which it ais given deter
mine the vigor.
The principal objection to late lambs
is that they do not have time to get
well started to growing before hot, dry
weather sets in, and then the eondi-
tions of growth are SO unfavorable that
they do not thrive as they should.
After grass starts well in the spring
is the most favorable season for secur-
| ing a good growth with all kinds of
stock, and with lambs it is important
to have them sufficiently early to be
able to take advantage of this season.
1t is not always best or advisable to
sell all of the early lambs, whether in
tended for the early market or to be
kept for mutton and wool. It is a good
plan to select out the very best of the
eve lambs and keep them for breeding.
Whenever an animal shows signs of
| sickness it should be separated from the
| rest until the disease has time to de-
velop. In this way loss may be avoided.
If an animal dies of a contagious dis
ease the better plan of disposing is to
burn thoroughly.
There is no kind of stock kept on the
farm that is so easily stunted as the
| lambs, or that will feel the effects
more or longer. For this reason it is
| important that the management should
| be such as will make a steady growth
| from birth to maturity.
1t is a severe drain on the strength Of
the eve to be obliged to suckle one or
two vigorous lambs and it is necessary
that she be well fed, and when it is
possible it is best to provide the ewes
| that have lambs with separate quar-
tiers, where they can be fed to them
| selves
The following is said to be sure
remedy for the scratches: Boil enough
white oak bark to make two gallons of
strong juice; in this put one large tea

SAVANNAH Ga, April 1.-The tug

day was by far the most interesting
day of the present session of the coun-
Gil. The interest manifested by both
Indians and outsiders shows that there
is no lack of enthusiasm over the pros
poets of an early opening of the Chero-
kee strip.
The chief and members of both
branches of the legislature seem to be
thoroughly in harmony with each other,
something that has not occurred before
in many years This, taken in connec-
ton with the general satisfaction ex-
pressed with the conditions of the trade,
is considered as guarantee that the
amendment will be ratified within a
reasonably short time.
There is a small element, however,
which favors some amendments to the
original bill as passed by congress, but
it is believed that this opposition is toe
weak to accomplish anything. The
masses of the Indians believe it would
certainly result in a great calamity to
the nation should the council fail to
ratify the congressional amendment
In case an amendment is agreed to by
the council, the whole matter will nee
essarily have to be sent back to con-
gress to be concurred in before the strip
can be opened.
This would consume at least another
years time, and, besides working great
hardships upon prospective settlers
now on the border of the strip, would
result in no advantage to the Indians.
but instead might arouse a feeling in
Washington that would lead to the
opening of the land without further
negotiations with the Cherokees

Senator Vance Presents 1t Against Seating
Appointed Senators.
WASHINGTON, March 20. - Senator
Vance, chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections in behalf of
the minority of the committee to-day
submitted to the senate report upon
the case of Lee Mantle, finding
that he was not entitled to take
his seat as senator from Mon
tana. The report is signed by Sena-
tors Vance, Gray, Palmer and Mitchell
AS in the case of the majority report
presented yesterday by Senator Hoar,
the minority report deals directly only
on with the claims of Mr. Mantle, but
both are intended to~cover as well the
cases Of all three of the appointed SEN
ators-Messrs Mantle, Beczwith and
Allen.
The question presented according to
the report is, could the governor ap'
point senator at the beginning of a
new term, the legislature being in ses-
sion and refusing or falling to elect.
The report quotes the constitutional
provision and the act of 1866 relative to
the election and appointment of sena-
tors and then contends that the original
terms of senators must begin by being
chosen by the legislature. AS there are
but two ways of constituting senators,
so there are obviously but two ways OF
creating vacancies; one, by the expira-
ton of the constitutional term fol
which the senator was elected; the 9th
er the accidental or unforeseen or uney
pected ''happening'' of some casualty
to or upon the incumben t, such as death
before his term ended, resignation, eX
pulsion, disqualification, or any other
cause that should take him out of the
Office to which he was elected.

Undesirable Citizens.

NEW ORLEANS, March 29.-At the
annual meeting of Touro inirmary last
night Robert L L. Leucbt su omitted a
report relative to the Russian refugees
who were imported last year and were
colonized at Opelousas- He said that
all attempts to make them steady and
permanent citizens of this state had re-
suited badly, not that they were law
less, in fact they seldom figured in the
criminal record of the state, but their
rowing, itinerant natures make it inn
possible for them to settle down at any
one place and labor steadily.
