SOiling Cows.

Farmers bulletin No. Ii issued by
the department Of agriculture is in part
devoted to soiling. The subject is
opened in the following language:
The advantages of soiling OF feeding
animals largely Or wholly on green
forage crops in the barn instead of pas
turing them are hat less land is re-
quired to maintain a given number of
animals, the food supply can he
better regulated. the animals do
not waste their energy in searching
for food. and the manure can all be
saved and applied To the soil. The ar
gumentS for partial soiling are that the
amount of feed furnished by pasture
are very irregular, being usually album
dant and Of good quality early in the
season. but falling of later from
drought> or early froSts. In the ease
of mich COWS unless some supple
mentary food is given at such times the
milk flow diminisheS and the COWS fall
off in flesh.
Concerning the relative amounts of
food furnished by paStu"ing and by
selling. the PENNSYLVANIA experiment
station found in eXperimJ nts in tive
years that in round nun ,ers we can

LONDON. July 30.-The Central News

The Chinese war ship Isao-Khan.

4 ship OF the coast of Round Island. is Il
vessel of an obsolete model. Although
completely out-matched by the Japan
csc cruiser. the troop ship offered some
resistance and lost fully loo men. killed
n wounded. fore she yielded She
was entirely disabled when the Japan
csc boarded her.
The troop ship kow-Shung tried to
get AVA as 500 as the Japanese war
ship began their attack. and made only
a weak running fight. The Japanese
guns swept her decks and carried off
the Chinese soldiers by the score. The
latest estimate OF the number aboard
her is LOO. Only forty survived the
laundering of the ship. They say that
all her officers were killed before she
went down.
The announcement that the rest of
the Chinese transports arrived safely
at Corea and landed their men is con-
tirmed- On the eth the Japanese
fusilladed heavily those who had
landed on the 2Gth at Yachan. The
Japanese officers hoped thus to pre-
vent the junction of the Chinese with
the Coreans near Seoul. Whether
they accomplished their object is not
known.
No news of the hostilitieS can be
obtained from Pekin. Code messages
are refused at the telegraph offices.
and no other message referring to- cur
rent affairs are accepted. The outly-
ing battaliOnS of the northern army
are concentrating rapidly at Takua.

mentS are embarked for Corea.
The work of preparing harbor de-
lenses here advances rapidly. Tor
pedOes are being laid in the North
channel AT the entrance of the Yang
tse-kiang. Great quantities of ammu-
milton have been purchased by the gov
eminent and are being collected at the
ports for shipment. The expectation of
rice and grain has been prohibited.
Trade is paralyzcd. The ~coasting
steamers and small craft are afraid to
leave the harbors. While everything
looks and sounds like war. the Chinese
officials continue to maintain that war
has not been declared"
The Central News say that in official
circles here there is Il strong feeling in
favor OF mediation on the part of the
United States. although few believe
that Japan and China would accept
arbitration unless under considerable
pressure.

YOKOHAMA, July as.-A long state
ment has been sent out from an au-
thoritative source explaining Japan's
position. 1t is claimed that Japan has
never gone beyond the rights given
her by the treaty of 1885. The state
ment rehearses Japan's demands as
presented to the government at Pekin,
and declares that if war results the
policy of China will be answerable for
it. 1T is impossible" says the state

PHILADELPHIA. July 29.-The spirit
of patriotism and independence that
freed the colonies from British rule is
being re-kindled and fostered by the
numerous native American orders, and
now the teachings of the summer
school of the University of Pennsyl-
vania on American history are to be
given practical illustrations in the same
line.
George Washington assumed COM
mand of the continental army before
Boston 119 years ago. and the event
was celebrated in Independence hall
yesterday morning by the students of
the university extension school. About
fifty men and women, students from
seventeen different states. decided
some time ago to make an historical
pilgrimage to the different places
made famous in the struggle against
England. A gathering in Independ-
ence hall yesterday morning was the
''outset Of the pilgrimage"
The exercises We're opened by an
address by Hamton Carson. a lawyer of
this city. Mr.. Carson was followed
by Prof. William y. Trent. of the uni
versity of the south, who reviewed the
life Of Washington and showed his
strong impress upon the character of
the government and the people. As
the conclusion of Prof. Trent's adj
dress, the children filled the room of
Independence hall. The site on which
stood the building in which Thomas
jefferson drafted the Declaration of
Independence vas also visited. The
students were addressed at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania by Talcott Will
liams on "Philadelphia's Contributions
to Americanism."
To-day the pilgrim students will at
tend service at the Old Christ church,
where Washington and other reyOlu-
tiOnary heroes wOrshiped. and tO-mor-
row morning the pilgrimage will be-
gin. The pilgrims will leave here Owe
the Pennsylvania railroad at 7:33 for
New York. and thence they will go to
Boston and visit the many historical
points of interest in the old Bay state.
They will return on August $.

TARIFF CONFERENCE.

Work of Bringing About an Agreement
Begun-Changes Practically Agreed Up
Jn-lmpOrtant Alterations in the Para
graph Governing Woman's and Children's
Goods and Mems CIoths-Tooacco. Whis-
Ky and the Metal Schedules.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-Tht work of
bringing about an agreement on the
tariff bill began in earnest this morning
at a private and informal conference be-
tween the confereeS of the senate and
the house. The formal conference will
begin Monday.
CHANGES PRACTICALLY AGREED UPOS.
There are certain changes in the bill
which are understood to be practically
agreed upOn by the conferees. Some of
these changes are important in their
character, and when they become
known are bound to more or less
debate and very much opposition.
II WOOLEN SCHEDULE.
In the wooden schedule an impor-
tant change is likely to he made in the
paragraph covering women'S and chill
drenIs goods and mems cloths for
clothing. As the bill passed the SEN
ate the duty on all such goods valued
at more than fifty cents Il pound was
fixed at 30 per cent. adj valorem. and
on all goods valued at not more than
fifty cents per pound 40 per cent.
adj valOrcm. As the confe~eeS will
probably fix it. the rate will be a gen.
eral rate of II per cent. on cloths and
Tnnnra nnpfn.t,- sc ,,a1 ,.l IN
per cent. on women's and children's
dress goods costing less than sixty
cents per pound and 30 per cent. adj
valorem on such goods costing more
than sixty cents per pound.
WRAPPER TOBACCO.
Much opposition has been manifested
to changing the senate provision from
Sl.50 per pound to 81 per pound on
wrapper tobacco. and it is thought
probable that the rate may be left at
Sl.50 per pound for revenue purposes.
The language of the senate bill will re-
main. and also the restrictions as to the
indiScrininatc sale of leaf tobacco by
farmers and small dealers. who have, it
has been claimed, paid no tax and de
pIeted the revenues of the government
by this method of selling leaf tobacco.
TIE WHISKY SCHEDULE.
The whisky schedule has also been
finally disposed of. the senate ~rcceding
from its amendment increasing the tax
to &l.l0. 1t has been agreed that the
tax shall remain as the house passed
it. at n dollar per gallon. and the
bonded period left at five years. The
provision has been added. however.
that in the event it is desired to keep
whisky in bond for Il further period of
three years. it may be done by the pay
ment of an annual increase Of five
cents per gallon per YEAR.
\ REDUCTION on steel RAILS.
The metal schedule has been sealed
down some. the most noticeable in
stance being the reduction of about Il
OF % per cent. on steel rails. Iron ore
and coal will remain as they are. The
duty on wool rovingS. or tops. will he
to the house rate of - per
The chemical schedule has also been
changed very materially.

Fattening Poultry.

To fatten rapidly, feed the birds
three times Il day, giring potatoes
thickened with bran and meal. Milk
may also he added. and if potatoes are
scarce. use chopped clover, cut very
fine and well mixed with the meal and
bran. Cracked corn and wheat should
also be allowed. and !enty of sharp
grit must he within access. About ten
days is sufficient time to fatten a fowl
for markct.-farm and f'ircsidc.

CHICAGO. July 20. - Proceedings
against Debs ct al. i'll the United
States circuit court here under the bill
filed July >. in behalf of railroads rep
resented in the General Managers asso-
citation. were brought to a sudden and
temporary close yesterday by an order
from Judge Woods. who is now in
indianapolis. Debs and others APP
pealed from the chancery pro-
ceeding to the United States circuit
court of appeals, in which proceedings
in the injunction was issued by
Judges Woods and Grosscup. The APP
peal has been granted, and Judge
Woods order checks further move
ment, but docs not interfere in any
way in the matters of contempt.
Bond of appellants was fixed by
Judge Woods at 500.
The grounds on which the appeal
was asked we're that the bill for in
junction was not signed in the name
of the attorney general of the United
States: that the bill was not supported
by proper afiidavitS: that the sub jact
matters of the bill were INSULT cient to
support an injunction; and hat a court
of equity could not rightly take cog
nizance of the things stated in the bill.
In the ease of the American Railway
union. the sane prayer was presented,
and the whole case, including Debs
and his brother officers and the union
will go to the court of appeals.
The application for the appeal was
made by Attorney Gregory in a letter
to Judge Woods.

The English SparrOw.

English sparrows are not altogether
a nuisance. Last sumu.er Il neighbor
showed one that had ten tent catcrpii-
lars in its crop. and w saw II catch
two cut worms and devoIr them within
five minutes. and on numerous Occa-
sionS saw them catching worms. They
have some rcdeeming traits. and as
they are birds. we have a soft SPOT in
our hearts for them. Better sparrows
than no birds at all.-Farm News.
A pretty finish for little girls dresses
is the narrow serpentine braid of rick
rack memory. 1t is cheaper than needle
work. and wears much better. 1t may
be used to edge narrow fiounces and
sleeve pieces. A model seen in one Of
the best shops had the skirt gagged on
the waist by a narrow heading. Before
this was done it was edged with the
braid. and the full white-tipped rutls
was very pretty.

Sheriff j. ]. OMAR of White Sulphur

Sheriff j. J. OMAR Of White Sulphur
Springs, arrived on Friday night from
Neihart with an insane man named
James Brooks. He was lodged in the
city Jail, where he had to be fettered,
handcuffed and chained to the bed to
preserve him from s~elf-injury. The I'M
fortunate man has been working in a
livery stable recently at Neihart, but
was formerly a school teacher. In his
paroxsysms he fancies he is occupying
the latter position and at times he is
very violent. He was taken to the state
insane asylum yesterday.
A man giving his name as William
Savage was arrested yesterday by
Sergeant Shea on the charge Of insulting
little school girls on the North side. On
being arraigned in Justice Hawkins
court Savage denied the charge but the
little girls were brought into the court
room and said that he was the man.
The court was not long in imposing a
sentence which was a fine of 300, the
extreme penalty for such offences. As
Savage had no money he was assigned
quarters in the city Jail for fifty days,
The marshal will put him to work in

on the ground 100 men and fifteen teams
constructing side railroad tracks. Learn
ing that Mr.. Hughes was in the city a
TRIBUNE representative interviewed him
and he stated that there will be $500
feet of side-tracks, and his opinion is
that they would be finished by the 25th
instant.
AS the coal company is figuring on a
daily movement of fifty to sixty cars of
coal such operations will necessarily
employ a large.number Of men.
1t ID understood that the erection OF
dwelling houses, necessary workshops,
ETC., will now be proceeded with as fast
as possible. THE TRIBUNE has not the
least hesitation in predicting a bright
future for the young city, and expresses
its best wishes for the prosperity of the

The following is from the M~issoula

Falls heiress and would hold up his in
tended bride for a little ready cash and
return the following week and square

%iourneyed to Great Falls and induced
his return to the Garden city on a charge
of obtaining goods under false pretenses.
T~hibadeau, in his own behalf, and one
of his witnesses, also, testified that he
purchased the goods in the regulation
manner, agreeing to settle the account
when his ship came home which event
in his financial experience has not as
yet come to pass. After thoroughly con-
sidering the case, and approaching the
unpleasant predicament in which aeon
trary decision would place many young
men in this city who purchase their re-
quirements on the 'go-as-you-please plan,
the Judge turned the defendant loose
with an admonition to refrain from mar
riage on no pair in the future. and thus
ends another trifling criminal proceeding
