committee, last evening, decided to
report in favor Of instant organization
OF the business men Of the city for the
purpose of building a road from Waco

aection THE News has suggested that
Col. Parrot be made president; it is
not known that ne would accept the
position and assume the responsible
ties of the place, but his name was
suggested because 1t is believed he
possesses that happy union of bust

him for successfully leading the effort.

OUR AUSTIN LETTER.

Special Correspondence to The News.
AUSTIN, Tex, Mar. 20 Judge
Mccormick is here to sit alone in the
hearing Of the commission cases, Judge
Maxey having refused to sit after be
ing notified by Judge Mccormick that
he considered Il lie law in the case set,
tied by his Dallas decision. The case
was to have been heard by Judge
Msxey several weeks ago, aud was
postponed by him until today, for the
reason above stated, Judge Maxey
stating that it was useless for him TO
sit with ranking Judge without the
privilege OF passing himself upon both
the law and the facts. The original
plan was for Justice Lamar of the
supreme bench to be present and sit
with the other Judges. 1t was thought
proper, under tho circumstances, that
Justice Lsmsr's -uccessor, Judge
Howell +. Jackson, should be invited
to sit with Judge Mccormick, but
Judge Mccormick refus'd to make
the request, considering, it is pre-
sumed, that the settling of the commits
sion question was his private snap
1t is evident that he proposes to put
the finishing touches on the thing in
person if he knows how. The state
today, however, took turn on the
railroad lawy ers, which has fairly
knocked them silly and they have
asked till morning to hear from Judge
Dillon, at New Y ork, who is leading
counsel in the case. The state asked
leave to withdraw the answer to the
original suit, and file instead a gener
al demurrer, which would have the
effect of carrying the case to the
supreme court on the law of the case
independent of the facts.
Ever since the beginning of the
present session, the ghost of Thomas
Jefferson, has been present in the

A New Use for sana.

The smelling of iron sands. in those
regions where such material abounds.
has lately attracted no little interest
and California papers publish an ac.
count of the charging of blast furn-
ace at Onehunga with the iron sand
in the shape of ''bricks" instead of
with iron ore; a tapping took place,
and the result was that several tons
OF ore were obtained from the furn-
ace, the metal being pronounced TO
be workable iron Of tirst-class quality
"a portion OF the molten metal be-
Ing converted into small castings,
showing complete adaptability. The
''Dricks" with which the furnace was
thus charged were an admixture of
iron sand and clay, and were manu-
iactured some sixteen years ago. 1t
is claimed that the yield of iron is
equal to so per cent. of the weight of
the bricks and it is believed that
iron of high class may be in this way

In the straits settlements the Chi
nese appear to be occasionally more
than q match for the Western bar
barian. 1t is the practice of the
merchants selling goods to receive
payment in rolls of copper coin done
up in paper, each roll containing SO
cents, and it has occurred to some Of
their customers to substitute for the
rolls packages containing piece of
bar iron the exact size and weight Of
a roll of 48 cents. An ordinary cent
is put on each end of the bar, in case
the end of the roll should be opened.
One merchant, it is stated, received
recently $40 in alleged rolls of copper,
and found, on opening them, that
each roll contained two cents and an
iron bar. The unlucky dupe, 1t is
added, failed to obtain conviction
from lack of sufficient evidence.

The Progress of Wheat Cultnro

The progress of wheat growing in this
country has been marvel OF apricul.
tural production. According to Sta.
tistician Dodge, the Dakotas now pro-
duce more wheat than vas grown IN the
United States fifty years ago. The ex.
ports of last year we're greater than the
aggregate product twenty five years ago.
The yield per acre of old lands is inoreas-
ing, and new wheat lands are annually
brought into cultivation
New England in the few fields culti-
waited obtains more per acre than the
richest soils of the West. The yield
declines fastest in the newest and rich
est soils, not because of soil exhaustion,
but because OF its fairness in stimulating
the growth of weeds.
The census of 1880 made an average
yield of wheat OF thirteen bushels; that
of 1890, when the season was far less
favorable and prospects apparently much
worse, gives yield of about fourteen
bushels per acre. With good cultivation
and fertilization it should be increased
to twenty bushels. Individual farms In
Maine report from thirty to forty bushels
per acre; some in New York report
thirty-two Or more; and many in Illi-
nois and North Dakota return twenty aud
thirty bushels per acre. The rate of
yield could readily be increased one
half.
The wheat crop of 1892, according to
the National Department report, Is
slightly above an average one in yield
per acre, aud in volume has only been
exceeded in 1891, though the crops of
1880 and 1889 nearly equ1lled it. The
area is estimated at S,554 ,43O acres,
producing SIS, $40, 900 bushels, valued
on the farm at 1922, Ill 1881. The yield
per acre is 1874 bushels, and the value
per bushel GA cents. The largest
yield of the present year is 27.S bushels
in Montana, on 1924 acres. The next
in order is 25.2 bushels in the Indian
Territory. The next lower is 1919 in
Nevada, and Maine averages nearly as
much, 23.7 bushels. In the West, the
largest rate is nineteen bushels in
Indiana. 1t should be understood that
these are averages of States, and not of
individual farms, some of which are much
higher, explains the authority quoted.
The progress of wheat-growing was
stimulated greatly by the crop failures of
Western Europe prior to 1880. Twenty
years ago no crop had attained half the
values of that of 1891. The average
production of the decade between 1870
and 1879 was 3I2, 152, 72S bushels. The
average of the next decade was 449,.
695, 1853. That of the past three years
is sos, 997, 600 bushels.-New York

Desplsed "Stone CoaI.n

At the beginning of the present cen
tury anthracite or "stone COAL" as it was
called, was not used ct all except by
blacksmiths and iron workers in the dis
tricts where it was found. It was be.
lieyed that it could not be made to burn
except by an artificial current of mir,
such as a bellows supplied. In 1903 two
great boat loads Of it were hoated down
from Mauch Chunk, Penn, to Philadel-
phia. Not lump of it could be sold,
because people did not consider it of any
use for fuel. The city authorities tried
to use it for steam engine at the water
works, but it would not burn. Finally
they gave it up, declared the coal worth
less and caused what remained of it to
be broken up and spread instead of gravel
on the footpaths of the public grounds.
Tnis failure put stop to the mining at
Mauch Chunk, but it was renewed in
1913, and in the following year an ark
load of the coal was started down the
Lshigh River to Philadelphia, by way of
the Delaware. Its owners put up stoves
IN conspicuous public places in the CIT
les, built coal fires in them and invited
the people to stop and inspect them.
fney went to private houses and pre-
vailed on the inmates to be allowed to
kindle anthracite fires in the CRATES
which had been built for the use of soft
coal. They even bribed journeymen in

The Russian Government issued or
ders that the one hundredth anniversary
of the second partition OF Poland should
be celebrated in that part of the country
by general fetes and services in all the
churches, by parades of the troops and
by grand balls. General Gourko, the
Russian Commander, gave ball in honor
OF the event, and ''invited" all the
leading members of the Polish nobility
to attend. Many of them took to their
beds and said that they were sick, and
some openly refused to attend. Such
