ENGLISH PRESS COMMENT.
Its Tone Favors Interference for the
Sake of Peace.

Sake of Peace.
LONDON, October Z. - Commenting
upon the Eastern situation, the Post
says; The present position of China
cannot be lightly regarded. If that en-
pire was broken up or its position inn
periled, the outlook would be extremely
grave. Hitherto we have been accus-
toned to regard China as an ally, and
we have trenchant agreements with her
which require close attention. Ii Hung
Chang is the only man of eminenCe in
China capable of advising the Emperor
at this juncture. lie deserves any aid
that England can afford him in the eff
fort to save his country from the terrible
hangers with which it is menaced.
The Graphic: 1t is time a halt was
called by the European powers inter
ested in keeping the peace, Neither
Great Britain nor Russia wish to see
China permanently crippled by the Jap
anese. a state of chaos in the former
empire would raise problems that might
set the world abaze.
The Daily News: There is no reason
whatever to believe that the alarming
rumors of the last few days were the Off
spring of any inspiration but that aris-
ing from a complete misunderstanding
OF the actual state of things.
The Manchester Guardian suggested
that the Ministerial Council to-day con-
slider Russia's demand that the powers
collectively interfere with the view of
eiIecting settlement Of the China-Japan
troubles. Lord Rosebery fears Russia
will act alone in the matter, to the detri-
ment of England if the latter refuses to
agree.
The Standard: Whatever truth there
may have been in yesterdays rumors,
all danger of a rupture, if such existed,
has vanished, thanks to the conciliatory
disposition OF the French statesmen.
The Telegraph in an article written in
a similar strain to that OF the Chronicle
remarks that three of the five ships or
dered to China could not possibly arrive
there in time to avert the possible mas
sacre of British subjects, nor would a
vessel of the type of the lirst-class cruiser
st. George be needed merely to keep or
der at treaty ports. The paper hints
that possibly further emergency is be-
ing provided for.
The Chronicle: 1t is difficult to under
stand why an act so purely administra-
tive as that of increasing the squadron
in Chinese waters could not have been
decided without summoning the Cabinet
in hot haste from all parts Of the United
Kingdom and Europe.

SUSCEPTIBLE OF SETTLEMENT.
Wants to- be Hanged.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., October 8,-Paul
GEM, who killed Clara Arnmin in Hobo
ken two months ago, and whose trial
was set for next Thursday, will not be
tried then. The prisoner refuses to al
low the court to set aside his plea of
guilty or to hold any conference with
the lawyers assigned to defend him. He
says he is guilty and wants to be hanged
as soon as possible. Under law passed
last winter the court cannot accept a
plea of guilty in capital case, and Judge
Lippncott has decided to postpone the
case until the constitutionaity of the
new law can be decided. Prosecutor
Winfield says the right of a person ac-
cused OF crime TO plead guilty is con-
stitutional right, and cannot be impaired
by statute.

FEEDING CATTLE
Results of Experiments With
Soaked and Dry Corn.
1T WILL PAY TO SOAK 1T

steers Get More Out ofsoaked Corn Than
They DO Out OF Dry Corn. and the
Reverse is True OF the Hogs which
Agricultural Matter.
The August bulletin of the expert
mental station of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College contains the result OF
experiments in feeding steers. Follow
ing is what is said of feeding with soaked
and with dry corn:
Whether the answer to this question
will be a yes or no will depend upon
circumstances. Steers get more out OF
soaked corn than they do out of dry
corn, and the reverse is true OF the hogs
which follow. 1t will not pay to soak
corn whenever it is necessary to take
precauton against freezing, nor is it
likely to pay if it involves more extra
labor than can be done by the regular
force in charge OF the cattle. But when
a feeder is so situated that the corn can
be soaked at slight expense it is profit
able practice, at least during mild
weather.
In conclusion the facts brought to
married. as follows:
First-The five steers fed on soaked
shelled corn gained a total of 1852
pounds in $50 days on 282 bushels OF
corn, while the five steers fed on dry corn
gained a total OF only ,468 pounds on
300 bushels of corn.
Second-1he steers fed on soaked corn,
owing to their better condition, brought
a higher price in the market than the
steers fed ON dry corn. Balancing both
cost of feed and market value of the two
lots, there is difference of $25.5 in ia
vor of the soaking OF the corn.
Third-The hogs following the steers
fed on soaked corn made a total gain of
635 pounds, while the hogs following the
dry-corn steers made total gain OF 747
pounds. This makes a difference of liz
pounds gain in favor of the dry corn,
and the market value showed a differ
ence of S5.5S in favor OF the hogs follow
ing the dry-COrn steers.
Fourth-Based on the foregoing fig
ures, it will pay to soak corn if it can be
soaked for cents or less bushel.

Sundays Shall be Blue.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich, October THE
City Council has decided that hereafter
Sunday shall be blue. Under an old
State law they can close everything, ex--
cept churches, and yesterday the local
police ordered the restaurants, cigar
stores, livery stables, druggists and news
stands to suspend business to-day under
the penalty of fine. Those affected by
the order say they will complain of every
man, woman and child found performing
any act that is not distinctly deed OF
necessity or charity Sunday.

u. P. DIRECTORS
Make Report of the Operations
During the Fiscal Year.
CAUSE OF ITS BANKRUPTCY

Government Directors Say 1t Was the
Losses Arising From the Guarantee
and other Contracts-PIan Embodied
in Reilly Bill Not Entirely Approved.
New YORK, October 6.-The govern
ment directors of the Union Pacific this
afternoon made public their report to the
Secretary of the Interior of the oper-
ations of the system for the year ending
June 80, 1894. After reviewing the causes
which led to the appointment of receiv-
ers in October last, they discuss the diff
ticulties experienced by the latter, and
add:
1--WE feel that we are entirely within
bounds in saying that the result of the
guaranty traffic and construction con-
tracts entered into by the Union Pacific
Railway Company since 1887 have caused
that company loss exceeding 81 ,OOO,-
600, and have been an important, if not
the controlling, factor in causing the
bankruptcy of the company"
Among the guaranty contracts spe-
with the Oregon Short Line and Utah
Northern, the Oregon Railway and Navl-
CATION, and the Union Pacific, Denver
and Gulf Companies. In spite OF these
criticisms the directors believe the best
interests of the government will be adj
vanced by retaining the auxiliary prop
critics in the system under proper man
agement, and that every exertiOn should

of the system intact, as ACKNOWLEDGMENT
would largely impair its value and earn
ing power.
The directors, however, do not entirely
approve the plan embodied in the Reilly
bill now before Congress, and offer some
suggestions of their own. They would
issue $3.50, 900, 900 of per cent 100-year
gold bonds, $20,O00,000 of 5 per cent
non-cumulatiye preferred stock and $751;
OOO, 900 of common stock. On the capt.
tai stock outstanding they would levy an
assessment OF $40 per share and issue
new common for the old stock paying
assessment. OF the new bonds they
would award SIC, 600 to the govern
ment at par in settlement of its debt,
and for its ultimate redemption sink
ing fund is recommended, which shall
vest in the trustees of the general mort
gage all securities and lands now held in
the Drexel- Morgan per cent note trust
and the per cent trust. The amount
required to meet the interest on the en-
tire issue of the per cent bonds above
suggested is less than the actual net
earnings during year ended June 30, 1894
The annual payment to the United States
would exceed 100000 and would be
larger than the payments called for I'M
der the Reilly bill. New bonds at vary
ing rates would be offered to other cred
itors. Foreclosure of all the properties
involved would be necessary. Separate
plans based on the same general princi-
pies are recommended for the Oregon
Short Line and the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company:
The report is signed by E. Ellery An
derson, j. w. Doane, Fitzhugh Lee and
Joseph w. Paddock.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
The Subject Debated in the Hungarian
Upper House.

BUDA-PEsTH, October 6.-The Hunga-
rian Upper House to-day opened the de-
bate on a bill granting liberty of worship
to all sects. In the course Of the discus
sion Cardinal Schlauch, Archbishop OF
Transatlantic, declared the bill, II it
should become a law, would ruin society
and the State. The Servian Patriarch
and the Roumanian and orthodox Blsh-
ops spoke in a similar strain. Ex-Min-
ister Czaky and the Calvinist Bishop,
Svasz. warmly supported the proposed
reform. which was introduced by the
Minister of Public Education. Baron
Eostevoes declared that the bill was
prompted by a true sense OF liberty and
was the outcome of the spirit OF the age.
The debate was adjourned,

DIED OF THIRST.
Terrible Suffering by Prospectors Cross
ing the Desert.

SAN DIEGO, October Close Garcia, a
peddler, who has just returned from the
Cocopah country with Quirino Cosilio, a
half breed, and Fred Gotta, a Mexican,
tells of the finding on the desert below
the national boundary of the body of an
American who had died of thirst. There
were no means of identifying the re-
mains, save that contained in the cloth
ing and a piece of an envelope or paper
sack addressed to "James Moore, pay
master A. T. and S. F., Topeka, Kan"
a common clasp purse, which held this
paper, and the part of greenback IN 1t.
The boot was about a No. e, and the man
did not appear to have been large. The
party was three days without water, sui
fering untold hardship, but afterward
afforded relief to Margarita Angulo and
Felipe Moseno, two Mexicans, and an
American, supposed to have been Fred
WATSON of this city. Angulo was insane
from thirst, but all recovered. On the
return trip the trail of another wanderer
was discovered, and certain clrcum-
stances led the party to believe that he
had fallen victim to the desert, as the
lowering vultures and coyotes bowling
up the CANYON among the hills afforded
good grounds for the suspicion. Much
suffering is reported on the desert by re-
turning prospectors. The water is poor,
and there is but little OF 1t.

Corn for Fodder.

Corn for fodder should not be planted
so thick as to prevent the formation of
ears. 1t seems to be pretty we'll estab-
lished that some sort OF an ear on the
stick is indispensable for bringing it to
perfection. 1t does not appear to be
necessary that this should be a full sized
ear of the variety planted. For ordinary
flint corn we should plant in rows not
less than three feet apart, and in hilsor
drills in the row allowing not more than
four stalks TO the running foot. We he-
lieve less than this would be better, and
have personal preference for planting
in hills, 30 that a cuitivator may run
in both directions. The stalk contains
more nutriment than the leaves

wastefuI Feeding of CornstaIks.

1t is not true that cornstalks are always
the cheapest food for cows. Rightly
grown and matured they are. But there
is always a strong temptation when pas
lures fail in August on account of dry
weather to begin to cut and feed corn
stalks before they have got into tassel.
1t is too common practice to SOW corn
fodder late, thinking that as it does not
require time to ripen ears of grain the
late sowing is just as good. 1t is not.
Until cornstalks get into tassel they are
worth very little as feed. They say it is
not sweet and the cows, if forced to eat
it, will shrink in their milk. tits better
to buy bran, which is cheaper in sum
mer and early fall than it is at any time
later, and leave the corn to gain more
maturity. Bran made into mash with
plenty of water will supplement the de-
ficient pasture cheaper than feeding corn
stalks before they have reached their
prime. Rural World.

THE HASTY SUMMONS.
There Is No Real Explanation for the
Cabinet Council.


LONDON, October 6. - The Cabinet
meeting so hastily called met at noon
to-day, and lasted from noon until 1870
p. NJ. 1t is understood a perfect agree
ment was reached respecting the plans
submitted for the protection OF British
residents in China. 1t is announced
upon good authority that after discuss
ing the state OF affairs in China the Cab
met decided to send troops to that coun-
try to protect British interests. 1t is
also probable additional ships will be
sent to strengthen the fleet in Chinese
waters under command OF Admiral Free
mantle. 1t is also said that in conse-
quence of to-day's meeting OF the Cabi-
net the British legation at Picking will
shortly be guarded by British blue jack
cts and native Indian soldiers. Lord
Roseberv has gone to his country seat at
Dalmeny Park, Linlithgowshire, and the

Green Bone for Poultry.

The proper food for poultry is usually
available at reasonable expense, if lit
tie time is taken to study the need and
to obtain that which is within reach
The Poultry Keeper says: Green bone
contains the natural juices, and is not
ONLY soluble, but is food. 1t contains
lime for the shell of the egg, nitrogen for
the white, proportion of oil and fat.
and also serves as grit. There is moth
ing which can approach 1t as food Tor
poultry, so far rs a combination OF ex-
ceilent materials for egg formation il
concerned. Bear in mind that, though
we also recommend ground bone, there
is quite difference between green cut
bone and ground bone. The one is
ground, while the other must be cut with
knives. The green bone contains adher-
ing meat, and combines flesh and bone,
forming elements which make the COM
plete chick. Ground bone becomes hard
and brittle, having lost the natural soly-
ents by evaporation, but green bone IL
readily dissolved when eaten, and is also
the most economical of all foods. A
pound of cut bone will be an excellent
allowance for sixteen hens, or an ounce
for each hen per day. This is cheaper
than corn, and has the advantage of CON
tanning more producing feed than
corn. A pound of bone will give as good
results as four pounds of corn, but we do
not infer that nothing but bones should
be allowed. Give grain and green food,
but make the green bone part OF the
ration also.
