THE NUT GRASS.
Southern States Have New !nfiction 10 Con
tend With.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The nut grass,
or cocoa, is proving to be almost as much
of an iof ction in the South as the Russian
thistle in the Northwest. For that reason
the agricultural department will soon issue
special bulletin, urging a general cam
paign against the grass before it gets too
firm hold. The plant is not grass, as
its common name and appearance indicate,
but sedge. 1t has many local names
in the different regions in which
it has been introduced. The species
is of subtropical origin, and is
said to have reached the United States first
at New Orleans among garden plants
brought from Cuba. 1t now extends from
Texas to Southern Illinois. in the coast
region, to Florida and New Jersey, being
most abundant in sandy soils.
The plan of campaig to sxtirpate nut
grass is simply to prevent it maturing seed
above ground. Nearly everybody thinks
that the nuisance reproduces itself from
the nut alone, whereas it propagates a
thousand times more from the seed.
Hence, to effectually and quickly destroy
nut grass on any lan1 Infested with it, the
soil should be frequently stirred duriug the
growing period of summer, so as to stlmu-
late each nut tuber and seed to sprout
The best time for fighting it is between
midsummer and frost time.

MINNESOTA.
The Democratic Candidate for Governor Gets
about 5000 Of 265, 900 Votes.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 6.-Scattering
returns, from 40 of the so counties of Min
nesots, indicate that Governor Nelson is
reelected, but it appears that his plurality
will be small. probably less than 5000. The
returns so far received show
a remarkable slump of the vote
to Owen, the Populst candidate for Cover
nor. Two-thirds of this has come from the
Democratic party and the Democratic
candidate for Governor has received
scarcely 5000 votes in total of 265, 900.
Figures on Congress indicate pretty
clearly the election of Tawney, Rep, in the
lst district, McCleary, Rep, in the ID, ,keif-
fer, Rep, in the 4th and Fletcher,
Rep in the 9TH. The contest is extremely
close in the Sd, with the chances much in
favor of Hall, Dem. In the 9th district,
Baldwin. Dem, claims lis election, but fig
ures so far received do not indicate this re-
suit. Seventh district figures are favor
able to Boen, Pop, but little has been
heard from the heavy Republican counties
in the southern part of the district.
Legislative returns are very meagre, but
the figures at hand point to the election of
a Fusion Senate, but the Republicans seem
to have majority in the House sufficiently
large to give them safe lead on joint
ballot.
There is no doubt of the election OF Mel
son, Rep, for Governor by at least 90
900.

ABOUT YALE's ELEVEN.
Practically But One Man Needed to comp'ele
Eiis Team for Sig Games.

New HAVEN, Ct, Nov. 6.-Less than
three weeks intervene before the meeting
of Yale and Harvard at Springfield, ana
within month Yale and Princeton VIII eet-
tie their foot ball difficulties a. New ork'
Yale began secret practice, Mondsy. Inc
rest of the big teams have already begun
work behind closed gates, and any one VINO
wishes to get line on the play of the Blue
will have to have recourse to balloon and
telescope.
The doings at the Yale field are going to
be even more carefully guarded than IN tfe
past, and not even the way the men are
playing will be known to outsiders; IN 1act'
the only inkling that can be gained OF whst
is going on behind the new high board renee
will be from attending the few games tnaI
are yet to be played. Even then only the
makeup of the team will be shown, as none
of the new plays which are sure to De IN,
vented for the big contests will be used
against the minor clubs.
Practically but one man is needed 10
complete the makeup of the Yale team !;
that is either a strong tackle or competent
guard. Beard is back again and is playing
both at tackle and at guard. The latter
is really his more natural position, and
if good tackle can be found ne
will be placed permanently next to
Stillman. Rodgers is doing well
these days, and it looks as though he would
make a place. McCrca has been given
every opportunity of making bis old posi-
ton of left guard, but he does not entirely
fill the bill. He works hard and tries his
best, but seems to have just so much foot
ball in him and no more.
Beard plays much better guard. He Is
quick, fast runner, and has a good head
and plenty of weight; in fact, has all the
qualities of frst-class guard. In inter
ference work Beard does the best of any OF
the big men. So if Rodgers proves him
self a better tackle than McCrea is guard,
the Yale line of forwards will be practi-
cally settled with Rodgers at left tackle
and Beard at left guard. Sutphin, the 81
crew man, has done pretty well when re-
lieving Murphy during the past week, but
he knows little of the game. He plays
hard all the time and evidently has lots OF
foot ball in him.

MIKE DNYsR BACKED HILL.
Joe vsndis Placed S13 900 Against S32, 900
and Offered 10 Bet More.

There was some lively betting at the St.
James hotel, New York, Monday night
Joe .Nendig, representing Michael F.
Dwyer, wagered $4,000 on Hill against
SIP 500 on Morton. with A. Mattheson.
He rIso placed $4,000 on Hill against $20,-
600 on Morton, J. Westcott of Boston, TAX
ing the long end of the wager. Then Ven
dig offered to place S35 900 on Hill against
500 900 on Morton. Mattheson agreed to
get the 100000 and put it up, Tuesday.
Later Westcots bet $1,000 against SiO0
furnished by j. j. Manoney that Morton
wouli carry the state. Again Westcott
wagered with A. j. Powers $1,000 against
S4OO that Morton would defeat Hill.
A stranger walked into the St. James

to bet $1,000 even that Morton would beat
Hill by 5000 Vendig heard this and said
he would take the bet only too quick. The
stranger pleaded that he had not the ready
money with him. Vendig said he would
give him until Tuesday to procure the cash

TESTING THE LAW.
Express Company Declines iC Pay State Tax
in Florida.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Amopg the cases
before the supreme court which have been
advanced on the docket for argument on
&C count of its public character is that of F.
r. Osborne VS.. the State of Florida.
1t appears that Florida has law requir-
ing all express companies doing business in
towns of more than l. 900 inhabitants of
,hat state to pay an annual tax of 5000
Osborne as the agent at Jacksonville of the
Southern Express Company refused to pay
this tax. He was arrested and required to
give bond for his appearance in the crimi-
nal court, which he refused to do, where
upon he was arrested and imprisoned.
He then made application to the circuit
court for release on a writ of habeas cor
pus, but the writ was denied and the arrest
and detention adjudged to be legal. The
stste supreme court affirmed this decision.
Osborne now appeals to the supreme court
of the United States, upon the ground that
The law under which the arrest was made is
unconstitutional and void because it is an
effort to regulate commerce amor the sew
eral states.
The decision when rendered ia expected
to deal with this question in general way,
and will be of more than local my ortance.

BICYCLES A FAILURE
When Used in Connection With Military
Maneuvers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-The bright hopes
that have been entertained by the military
men that the bicycle might be an effective
adjunct in war time have been dashed by
the exhaustive trials made in Germany,
France and Austria of bicycle corps.
United States Consul Stephen, at Anna
berg, has transmitted to the state depart
ment an article from military correspond
ent upon the result of the trials made in
Germany, which, he says. corresponded to
those obtained in France and Austria. He
says:
"We had on orthy authority that
the results of the trials which the various
army corps have made with the cyclists by
no means come up to the expectations which
we're formed. The cyclists have en-
tested in every possible way and although
it is not forgotten that the cycle is capable
of further development and the cyclist OF
still better training, still this will have little
influence on the general result. For mill
tary purposes, too, distinction must
always be made between the achievements
of Or )fessional and amateur cracks and the
work that can be done by the average SOL
der"
The correspondent details one or two
cases where the cyclist were # service as
mounted Iostmen, but says that where the
roads were bad, they were of no use at all,
and certainly can never replace the mounted
orderly. Says he: "An arm which can
only be effectively employed under special
conditions can never rise to be of general
importance.

New York, Nov 6.-Policeman n cGib-
ney of the Eldridge street station. was

ing, attracted hi, attention. As they passed
him the man seemed to be trying 10 per-

As the couple crossed Broome street, Nc
Gibeny turned away. A moment later he
heard the report of pistol. He turned
in tune to see the woman sink to
the sidewalk as the man fired another shot
at her, point blank. Before McGibney
could reach him, the assassin sent third
bullet into the neck of his fainting victim
When the policeman seized him, the man
fought like a maniac, and managed to fire
the pistol q foutth time before a smart blow

ANOTHER CUP DEFENDER.
Baltimore Capitalists 10 Build a Yacht to
Beat The vigiIant.

BALTIMORE, Nov. "A Baltimore syn
dicate, made up of capitalists and ship
builders, propose TO build yacht which
they hope will surpass the Vigilant in point
of spee ed, and will be entered for the trial
races to select the next Americas cup
defender. Among the leading spirits in the
venture is Mr.. William T. Malster of the
Columbian Iron Works, and the builder Of
u he cruisers De rot and Montgomery.
A number of models have already been
passed upon, but the one that appears to be
the best liked is that of the old yacht Balti-
more, which was 1een of Chesapeake bay,
.hor,ly before 1850. She was never beaten
in a race, and won the Chesapeake Cup, a
'rophy given then for the fastest yacht.
She was the most graceful vessel ever
zen here, and her speed, it is said, was
40 knots more than the best time made by
he V'gilau.t duing her recent races.
The Baltimore was built by Captain
V4th,niel Moore of this city, snd owned by
i'm aud Mr T0omts Bredybouse. She
as about 100 feet lorg, 80 feet vile and

MAY RETktIATs.
UhcIs Sam will Object 10 Diseased Horses
Shipped from Germany.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. - The embargo
which Germany has just placed against
American cattle may have sequel which
the German authorities have not anticipated,
viz, an investigation as to glandtrs and
other diseases with which German horses
brought to this county are affected.
Secretary Morton called attention in bis
last report to the lack of inspection of
horses coming from abroad and suggested
that it would be we'll to provide for quar-
antinipg horses. At that time there was
such comfy between this country and those
of Europe in the shipment of live stock that
the horse inspection was not urged. Now,
however, with Germany closing her ports
against American cattle, the secretarys sug-
gestions of protection against diseased
horses becomes pertinent.
