WILL NEVER BE TRIED.
The Dishonest Chemical Bank Paying
Teller HopeIessIy Insane.

New York, May 10.-J. B. TAFT,
under Indictment for having stolen
$4,000 from the Chemical National
bank when he was paying teller, will
probably never be tried. His counsel,
ex-United States Assistant District At
torney Rose has announced that TAFT is
hopelessly insane. The indicted man
lives at Mount Kiseo, N. Y, and is
now at liberty under $40, 900 bail. The
case will be called before Judge Berry
in the United States court this week
on the indictment filed against him by
the federal grand jury. 1t is not ex-
pected that TAFT will appear in court.
His counsel will plead that his client is
insane, and not in condition to stand
trial on the charge.
TAFT was examined two weeks ago by
experts on insanity. The physicians
concluded he was insane, and declared
his mental malady had been growing
on him for the last three years, and that
for two years he had not been RESPONSE
BILE for his acts.

Vancouver, B. c., May 1O.-The
police investigation, which has been
dragging along for the past fortnight,
is now becoming interesting. SO far
only the evidence of the chief, the SER
geant and an ex-jailer has been taken,
but today the present jailer, Officer
Grady, was ON the stand. He stated
that he had arrested sailors of warships
and received rewards for the same,
which he pocketed, though the police
rules state that they should be paid into
the city treasury. Thomas Andrews,
who served as special officer for some
time, testified that the chief and the
sergeant had asked him to share with
them the reward he had obtained for
arresting drunken Indians. He also
swore that gambling was being carried
ON openly in Chinatown. His evidence
caused sensation, as the chief and
previous witnesses had sworn that
there was scarcely any gambling now in
the city.

FOR THE FARMERS
Useful Information Concern
ing Farm Work.
EGGS WILL KEEP WE'LL In SALT
Money i'm Rare Crops-Early Pasturing
Fields Yielding No Profit
Poultry Notes.

BY actual tests with the incubator,
we have found that an egg fertilized
and subjected to heat, says a writer,
will show the transforming influence of
the vital germ in few hours, while
an egg not fertilized may be placed III
an incubator and subjected to 103 de-
grees of heat for ten or fifteen days,
and then look, SMELL taste and digest
perfectly pure. These are sufficient
tests, we think, and prove that infertile
eggs will keep perfectly as against
heat Persons who have raised chick
ems all their lives, ask seriously: How
long does it take the incubator to hatch
a brood of chicks-and we are III earn
est when we say that the male bird has
no influence in the ovulation of the hen.
Pardon the plain assertion, but 1t APP
pears necessary for the majority of
amateurs-if you wish to try my plan
and desire to hold your eggs for the fall
trade and prices, kill or remove every
male bird on the place. Two weeks
afterward begin to gather your eggs
fresh every day. Take them directly
to the cellar where you have previously
placed some clean boxes or barrels, and
"A barrel of salt. Cover the bottom of
one of your boxes about an inch deep
with salt. Now take your eggs, one
at time, and gently press them big
end down into the salt. When you
have covered the surface with eggs
nearly touching each other, thoroughly
cover again with salt, and so on until
full. In November your eggs will be
i'll very good condition. All the trou-
BILE there will be is to carefully wash
all the salt off and let them dry nicely,
when they are ready for market or home
consumption. There is one extra pre-
caution-be sure all the eggs are fresh
and no cracked shells. While we come
to the conclusion that infertile eggs
keep much the best, we should bear Ill
mind that we'll fertilized ones are what
we want to place i'll our incubators OF
under our biddies when we start out fo1
young chicks.

THAT BOND CONTRACT.
Its Terms So Far Complied With by the
Morgan Belmont Syndicate.

Washington, May 1O.-Today closed
the third month under the bond con-
tract with the Morgan Belmont syndl-
cate of New York and up to this time
all of the terms of the contract have
been complied with to the satisfaction
of the treasury officials. February 8
last, the date of the contract, the gold
reserve amounted to $42, 1888, 060, which
has since been increased to $92, 591, =
597, the amount reported today, max
ing net gain for the three months OF
$49,8OS,5 $40. Yesterday the syndicate
deposited i'll the New York sub treasury
about 100000, which completes its
obligations to date, but does not, SO
far as can be learned, leave any surplus
to its crdeit. The $32, 000,0 600 i'll do
mestic gold permitted to be deposited
under the contract has long since been
turned in, but whether all OF the
$40, 500, 900 of foreign gold required to
date by the terms of the contract has
actually been imported cannot be
learned here. 1t is believed, though,
that it has not been imported. 1t is as
sumed that the syndicate will be
deemed to have complied with its con-
tract if it is found at the close OF the
deal, October l next to have on deposit
the $32, 900, 900 in foreign gold, indie
pendent of the fact that it may have
used domestic gold from time to time.

Potatoes and Weeds.

Early potatoes should pay well, as
they are always i'll demand. A potato
field should be kept clean from the
time of planting to the harvesting of
the crop. Many potato fields We're al
lowed TO become 50 overrun with
weeds as to make the cost of harvesting
more than all other labor given during
the season. Keep the weeds down from
the start, and the tubers will be larger
and the yield heavier.

What to do with a protitless field Is
a matter of consideration by all farmers
who are SO unfortunate as to have such
fields. The majority use these lands
as pastures, upon which they turn the
stock, but il will pay to aim to grow
green crops on the land to be turned
under. If this is done for two or three
years, and the land limited, it will be
found that such method will restore
fertility at a small cost compared with
the increased value of the field.

New Haven, Conn, May II. -
William H. Hurlburt, of New York, Il
graduate of Yale in 1860, has issued a
circular and sent it to each member of
his class advocating a change in the
methods of electing members of the
Yale corporation. He says: yale does
not grow; it drifts. Yale has pros
pered in a certain way, but how much
more prosperous might she have been
with governing corporation progress
sive and up.t o-date. The custom that
a corporation member shall succeed
himself at the expiration of his term of
office should be modified But few die
and none resign. 1t is grave ques-
ton whether in these progressive times
country clergymen are the fittest per-
sons to have entire control of such an
institution as Yale university"

The Conditions Under Which Japan
Agreed to Renounce Possession
of Liau Tong Peninsula.
Yokohama, May 11.-China has
withdrawn her request to have the ar
mistice prolonged, and notifications of
the treaty of peace were exchanged at
Che Foo at midnight.
Washington, May 11.-An official
dispatch from Toxic to the japanese le-
cation states that notifications of the
treaty of peace between China and Ja-
pan were exchanged at Che Foo yester-
day. No change was made in the text
of the treaty as originally concluded.
Taking into account, however, the rec
concentrations made by Russia, Ger
many and France, the japanese govern
ment has agreed to the announcement of
the permanent possession of Liau Tong
peninsula, ON condition that the ar
rangement regarding the terms and
form Of remuneration shall be reserved
for adjustment between itself and the
government of China. This latter
stimulation is construed to mean that ia
pan will not surrender the peninsula
until suitable indemnity shall have
been paid, and that it may have been
agreed between Japan and China that
the possession of Port Arthur would be
retained by the Japanese for term OF
years, leading beyond the date when
the indemnity has been paid III full,
thus assuring to Japan not alone the
PAYMENT of the indemnity itself, but
sufficient time to safeguard herself
against anything like war Of reprisal.
1t will be remembered that the treaty
of peace provides that Wei Hal Wei
shall be held until the first 100, 600, 900
ven of the indemnity and the next two
annual installments have been paid, so
that with the added guarantee OF the
possession of Port Arthur, even
although only temporary, the Japanese
government would appear to have taken
every possible precaution for the fu-
ture.
The foregoing statement Is official,
coming direct from Toxic by cable.
The understanding is that it embodies
the reply which Japan recently gave to
the protest of Russia and the allied
powers.

THE FUSION TICKET
In New York Opposed by the Good

An Address to the Public, in Which
the Committee Of Fifty is Mildly
Roasted-Is Accused Of Making
an Alliance With Platt, Whose
Record is Referred To.

tive Committee of the Good Govern
ment Clubs issued an address to-day
setting forth their reasons for opposing
the fusion ticket. They say that if the
Committee of Fifty had effected a union
On a nOn-partisan platform in support
Of nOn-pol.tical candidates it would
have been acceptable TO them. The ad-
dress continues:
The Committee of Fifty disregard
ing the resolution under which IL was
appointed bought from the leaders
of the Republicans and the State De-
mocracy by promises Of
MONEY AND MORAL SUPPORT,
certain admiral judicial nominations.
The other places on the ticket they
conceded to be party spoils.
so long as the honorable and veal
thy men of this city are willing to lend
the weight Of their names and the pow
er OF their resources in such traffic in
an attempt to purchase government
from the politicians, we shall have cor
ruptiOn by whatever party name it may
be called"
The argument for the fusion ticket
is said to be the choice of evils" one
which was used in 1890 TO gain support
for the peoples patronage, any by abuse
OF which $4,000 voters stayed away from
the polls. Says the address:
The people of this city
CANNOT CLOSE THEIR EYES
to the fact that the Committee of Fifty
has made an alliance with Platt. They
remember that last winter Platt's ma
chine refused TO grant us police reform,
defeated all efforts to improve the pub
lie schools, derided and repudiated the
very principle of civil service reform,
which Republican representatives had
embodied in the constitution of the
State. and, rejecting a simple and eff
fective ballot law, imposed upon you a
law framed to disfranchise independent
voters and facilitate bribery at the
polls"

STILL EXPLAINING 1T.

The Republican organs are still fran
ticallv endeavoring to explain that In
dianapol.s election, which has so be-
wndered them and set at nought all
their calculations that they no longer
know where they are at They say that
the Republican candidate for Mayor
was not popular; that the people took
the first occasion to resent the tyranni-
cal Nicholson liquor law; and that the
Dutch" refused to support the party.
An ibis may be true. but the unpoDu-
l7r.ty of the candidate for Mayor does
no. account for the defeat Of all the
resi- Of the Republican candidates. Nor,
it is pointed out does It begin to tell
the whole story of the Republican dis
aster in Indianapolis.
A year ago the industrial elements in
Indianapolis as wen as in other portions
of the country were smitten with panic
By the insensate bowls Of calamity over
the new tariff. But the manufacturers
and workingmen of that city have not
only discovered the extent of the par
tisan fraud that was practiced upon
them. but they are justly apprehensive
of an attempt to revive tariff agitation.
They feel ashamed that hey yielded so
readily to misrepresentation, and in
their contritiOn they have turned upon
their deceivers. While many Republi-
cans IN Indianapolis absented them
themselves from the polls in their dis
gust with the party Of calamity many
more voted straight for the Democratic
party and for industrial peace. The
Republicans are destined to realize a
good deal more Of the same kind Of ex-
perieuce as long as they threaten the
country with a restoration of Mckinley
duties upon the raw materials Of Amer
lean industry.
There is no doubt that the people Of
Indiana are much disguised with the
game which the Republicans Of that
State have been playing under the table
with the A. P. A. Nor is there any
question ,hat they have deeply offended
the German-Americans and all other
liberal citizens by the cunning malign-
ity Of the Nicholson liquor law. But
it would be wrong to deny to the calam-
ity bowlers their full share Of the
credit for the signal Republican deSeat
