Exereted for plant food

Taking the trade values Of these
adopted by this station for 1924: cents
per pound for potash and phOSphOric
acid and nitrogen, 1872 cents. gives the
following value for the plant food resi-
due Of the above ration:
.575 pounds nitrogen q 1872 cents 10 4G5 cents
2ss bounds phOs acid &, cents. i 40 cents
1856 pounds potash q 5 cents $50 cent.
Total valuation. 6S5 cents
Here is saving of 1211 cents per day
from the original ration, costing %
cents, to be used in increasing the farm
crops, provided none Of it is lost
Losses of nitrogen occur very easily.
Just at the point, where the excrement
is voided, IS to 90 per cent Of it is re
turned to the atmosphere unless es-
pecial cars is taken to fix it by use Of
dry fresh soil or large amounts of gyp-
sum. No hOmOepa thic doses can pre-
vent the losses, Dry soil is best when
freely used, because cheapest and more
likely to be used in quantity to accom-
plish the object.
Suppose the loss to be so per cent. of
nitrogen 8 cents per mich COW per day.
This saved or even half-saved will pay
high wages to the man in charge of
nerd who saves it by keeping a guam
tity of fresh soil or gypsum on hand for
it. Gypsum has an effect of its own on
soil and crops by adding lime where de-
ficient, which can be help toward re
turning its cost where used.
This station has long used acid phos
phate and lsainit in equal parts by
weight behind the cows to help save
the nitrogen. Half pound to three
fourths of a pound, per day and cow is
sprinkled down after the sta bic is
cleaned. SO as to begin action on any
liquid that comes in contact with it

 London, Dec. 27.-A dispatch to the Central News says the Chinese army under General Sung. having been de- feated at Kung Wa Sci, retreated to New Chwang. There they were joined by the troops under command of Gen. eral Ma. and the combined force re- treated to Tien Chon Ia, the town of New Chwang being completely evacu- ated.

CHINA SELECTED FOSTER.
Ex-SECRETARY OF STATE HAS AC-
 GIFTED THE INVITATION.

He Will Go to Japan and Meet tho Pienipo-
 tentlarcs of China to Aid Them In Their
 Negotiations For Peace-wii Go in Q
 Private Capacity.
 Washington, Dec. T.-Ex-Secretary of State John w. Foster has been re- quested by the Chinese government to go Co Japan and meet the plenipoten- tiaries of the former government to aid them in their negotiations for peace. He has accepted the invitation and ex- poets to leave Washington within day or two, sailing from Vancouver. B. C., for Yokohoma on January 2, unless Informed of a delay in the departure of the plenipotentiaries. The Japanese government has been advised of the ap- pointment, and Its minister in this city has expressed his satisfaction with 1t.
 MT. Foster goes to Japan in purely private capacity, as an advisor to the Chinese plenipotentiary. He has no au- thority to represent or speak for the United States. MT. Foster has had an extended diplomatic career, having in addition to being secretary of state in General Harrison's cabinet represented the United States at the court of Spain, and having acted more recently as one of the counsel for the United States in the Boring sea arbitration at Paris.
 In official circles, where the above an- nouncement became known, 1t was taken to mean that from now until the peace negotiations are formally begun there will be complete suspension of hostilities between the armies of Japan and China. It is thought that the Jap anese minister on approving the ap- pointment voices the opinion of his gov ernment.
 The immediate effect of the appoint ment will be to delay the beginning of the peace negotiations. MT. Fosters mission is taken as an indication that the Chinese expect to gain mot favor able terms from Japan than has hith- erto been considered probable. Until to-day no one has doubted that Japan's ultimate terms had been made definitely known to China, and that China had fully consented to accept the ultimatum without delay.
 As MT. Foster does not intend to sail for more than week and as the yoy- age across the Pacific will consume two weeks more nearly month must elapse before the peace negotiations are fairly inaugurated.

 'The action of the United States treasury on currency questions having stopped progress in the sale of bonds for the account of the per cent. bond syndicate. and the period of thirty days mentioned in the notice of November ? having expired, the syndicate Is dis solved"
 The agitation about currency reform and the number of peculiar suggestions made by certain government officials and members of congress, 1t Is said, has weakened the market for government bonds generally. and the price for the new fves has in consequence been de- pressed below the syndicate figure
 Vice President Garland of the First National bank said:
 Tn dissolving the syndicate the par ties to 1t took into consideration the un- settlement of the market for bonds, due to the offering to congress of the cur rency plan of Secretary Carlisle where by its provisions would have compelled the national banks to dispose of at least $20O,0O0,000 in bonds on or before July 1, 1895. With such & possible block of bonds to come on the market, the question of continuing the agreement to hold the bonds was not even thought of"

Hidden Beneath Foam.

Newport, R. l., Dec. H.-The wind failed to go down tonight with the sun. The rocky shores all along here are hidden beneath frothy foam and it would go hard with any craft going upon the outer shores. The few craft in the harbor are holding their own, but the report comes from Dutch Island that there is large fleet of coasters there and several of them are drag ging. They are more exposed. Some little damage has been done to wharf property by the high sea sweeping over it and trips of the bay cleaners hava been much delayed.

Rev. Dr. smyth's Communication.
 To the Committee of Inquiry of the Board of Police Commissioners:
 Gentlemen : - Acknowledging the painstaking thoroughness with which your committee has endeavored to fol- low out every line of material evidence in the matters submitted to you, I beg leave to offer the following review of the evidence which now lies before you
 Inasmuch as the testimony in many particulars has gone beyond the infor- nation which was originally laid be- fore you as reason for investigation, I shall not now go back merely to the original allegations, but I ask that your findings be brought up to the ev- idence in the whole scope and impor- tance of it. With regard, however, to the tolerance of poicy-writing in this city, cheerfully drop all former com plaints, as the present activity of the police deserves only words of commen- dation; I ask only that the good work be faithfully continued of driving that poverty. breeding business out of this town, and that any means which expe- rience may show to be needed for that purpose, be furnished to the police.
 The fact that there has been, as all legged, 8 general disregard of the liquor law is established by so much of the testimony that l deem it unnecessary to make particular citations of it. The object of this investigation, as l under st xrriI1 ha icb bkd if ures shall result from it for the perina- nent efficiency of the police and their political independence.
 ].
 Iwould submit that in fairness to the police due weight should be given to the following facts in evidence: W The saloons employ on Sunday from four to five hundred men as spotters to give notice of the approach of the police. @ To some extent the police have been discouraged in doing their duty by the failure of the prosecuting agent to prosecute, and the miscarriage of cases in the courts. The prosecuting agent, MT. McWilliams, was asked by the committee to make some statement with reference to this complaint of many of the police officers; presented to him also a list of nine nolles and seven discharges, and $160 of accompa- nying fees in cases recently brought by him.; likewise called his attention to the testimony before you in the case of Mr. Thomas Nugent, in which Mr Mo- Williams had nolled the original com

Slain on the Road.

LAKE CITY, s. c., Nov. 1O.-Mr. Madi-
son L. .Connell, well known respected
farmer of the Ariel neighborhood, about
seven miles from Lake City, was, about 6
o'clock Friday evening, waylaid and kill
ed on the public highway, within mile
of his home.
When found at midnight he was q1ite
dead and partially burned, his clothing
having been fired by the charge that took
his life. He had been at work at neigh
boris house during the day, and was re-
turning home. The assassin, who was
probably secreted in the bushes border
ing the roadside where Mr.. Madison's g
body was found, shot him twice.
The body was not removed until after
the inquest, which was held on Saturday.
There is no clue to the perpetrator
of the dreadful deed. If suspicion rests
upon any one it is withheld. Over the
deed so fearful, and the manner OF its
omplishment so horrible, there is
considerable excitement in the neighbor-
hood.
Mr.. Madison left widow and several
children.-Special to the State

Child Killed by a Cat.

Six-months-old Sadie Kranz, of No.
II Clinton street, was sufocated early
yesterday morning by pet cat, which
slept on her face during the night.
When Mrs. Rosa Kranz, the child s
mother, went to the child's crib i'm
mediately after rising yesterday morn
ing, she found her dead and the cat
sleeping across her face.
The Kranz family live on the ground
Aoor>of No. II, Jacob Kranz being the
janitor Of the house, which is large
tenement. He had two children,
both girls. Sadie was 6 months and 9
days old. Her sister will be 2 years
old December %.
Both of the children were very fond
Of the cat, which Mr.. Kranz had found
in the yard Of the house. Little Sa-
die very often had it placed in her
lap and would pat it and stroke its
fur. The father always kept sharp
lookout for the cat and whenever it
jumped into the child's bed while the
infant was asleep, as it often did, he
Immediately drove it away.
The Kranzes allowed Sadie to sleep
in her carriage during the night. On
Tuesday night Mr.. Kranz placed the
child in the carriage about 10 o'clock.
He and she had played awhile with
the cat, which had sprung into the
little ones bed. At about quarter
past 10 o'clock Mr.. Kranz took the
| cat out of the carriage and went to
bed. The cat followed him and,
jumping on his bed, went to sleep.
Mr.. Kranz allowed it to stay there.
BE was awakened by the cries Of his
| wife, who had gone to the child s car
riage as soon as she had arisen.
Kranz ran hurriedly to the carriage
and saw the cat lying across the little
| ones face, asleep. he threw the cat
| onthe floor and felt for the beating
of the child's heart. There was no
throbbing. She was still warm, how
ever, and without stopping to dress
himself he ran next door to the house
| of DR.. Lefkowies. DR.. Lefkowics ar
| rived at the side of the girl about
six minutes afterward, but he said
she had been dead for more than an
hour.
Some of the neighbors suggested to
| Mr.. Kranz that he take revenge on the
cat by hanging it or by torturing it.
This he refused to do, but killed the
cat by shooting it.
