Latest Phase on Alaska.

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. Certain
dispatches in the United States
press regarding Alaska misrepre-
sent the state of affairs. At
Fort Cudshy, where Captain Con-
stantine and his squad are station
ed, there is no dispute as to the
boundary line 1t is fixed by
treaty, and is on the Nth meridian.
The mounted force which reached
Fort Cudahy in July was sent at
the urgent request Of Americans as
well as Canadians. For every
Canadian in the district there are
five Americans, yet the Dominion
government sent a force OF twenty
three men to protect the lives and
property Of all people there.

PLEA FOR SIBERIA.
Senator Morgan Thinks We Should
Sheer off From England in
This Matter,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-"Wheth-
err the newspapers are technically
correct in saying that treaty has
been consummated between Rus
STA and China for the occupancy
of the harbor of Port Arthur by a
Russian fleet and the extension of
the Siberian railroad through
Manchuria, L am confident such
an arrangement is among the
probabilities of the near future,
and when it is made the govern
ment of the United States should
do nothing to prevent its consum-
nation" said Senator Morgan,
chairman of the foreign relations
committee, today. at is" the sem
ator continued, "the legitimate re-
suit of the situation, and our in
terests in this matter, as in most
others, are antagonistic to those of
England. That country is merely
seeking, in antagonizing Russia in
this matter, to hold the trade ad.
vantage she now enjoys in the
orient, and being her rival in the
commerce Of that section of the
world, there Is every reason why
she should pull her own chest
nuts out of the fire. The proposed
railroad would open an immense
domain for the Interchange of
trade and by directing our influ-
ence in the right direction we
ought to secure a very large share
of it. The northern Asiatic coun-
try is rich in natural resources and
with this means of reaching the
market it would be virtually so
much wealth added to the
worlds stock. Further more the
Siberian people are entitled on the
grounds of humanity to an outlet
to the sea. Siberia is an isolated
country at the best, and no one
should oppose any effort on the
part of the United States to pre-
vent the people Of that country
from securing this ray of light"

Eastern Sympathy For a Murderer

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 1.-The
case Of Henry Dreamer, who was
recently sentenced to hang today
for the murder of Mrs. Miller and
her child last August, has stirred
up considerable discussion. After
his conviction the impression got
abroad in the east that he had an
unfair trial and that his ignorance
OF English had made him helpless.
Germans in Philadelphia and other
Atlantic cities took up his case, ap-
pointed committees, ETC., to secure
a new trial. This work had pro-
crossed well until the Seattle
democrat, the German paper, justi-
fled Creamer's sentence. 1t de-
clared the Germans wanted to
lynch him.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
General Harrison Introduces the
Ex-Confederate General
Gordon,

Gordon.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. L.
Gen John B. Gordon last night de-
livered his lecture upon the "Last
days of the Confederacy." The
audience contained Commander. in
Chief Walker, of the G. A. r., James
Whitcomb Riley and a large num-
Der Of the prominent veterans OF
the city and state.
EX-President Harrison was
cheered when he rose to Introduce
General Gordon and said: "Ladies
and gentlemen: / do not believe
that lecture by Bismark on the
last days of the Franco PrussiaR
war would be listened to in Paris.
but we shall listen tonight, not on.
ly without prejudice, but with
very great pleasure to a lecture
from that distinguished soldier and
statesman, General Gordon, of
Georgia. The two conditions are
widely different. We have no
Alsace and Lorraine. We have
not lost any territory. We are to-
night again a union of all the
states under one flag, loved by all
its people, (applause) We are cher
ishing no revenge; we are tonight
asking only this question of any
man: Does he love the consttu-
ton and the flag?' (applause,) and
this question, our distinguished
friend has already nobly answered
(applause.) There was some good
accruing from that long and
bloody strife. We learned to have
a better appreciation OF each other.
Before the war the south under
valued the north and the north un-
dervalued the south. In that
struggle we learned to value each
other for what we are worth, and
to find in each other that courage,
that endurance, that devotion to
a cause which is characteristic of
Americans and made us one in
spite of our strife (spplause0 and
not that only, for L shall not go
through the catalogue-it has
given us a magnificent preparation
for the next war (applause.) There
was great deal Of discussion dur
ing the war and there has been
great deal between military critics
since as to the relative advantage
possessed by the confederates and
the union armies. We had ampler
war materials and larger popula-
ton. They had interior lines. All
OF these questions have been dis
cussed. Perhaps we did not have
fair test of which was the better
men, but If this country should
ever assemble a great army and
Georgia should charge with
Indiana, then we would know
and woe to those that must must
meet that resistless charge. 1t is
a subject of profound qualification
and rejoicing to every true Ameri.
can that the prejudice and asperi-
ties born OF the ante-war discus
sion, and of the war itself, are be-
ing wiped out and that we are to-
day one in our love for this flag,
one in our adherence to the con-
stitution OF the United States and
that we present to every foreign
foe that threatens us a united and
courageous people. (applause.)

Arizona Land Titles Involved

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Much
interest is felt by officers of the
government and residents of the
southwest in the Nogales grant
case, the argument in which has
just been heard by the United
States Supreme court. 1t is the
first of the cases to be decided by
the court and was advanced upon
the docket because it was regarded
as test case. The case involves
the construction OF the Mexican
land laws from 1886 to 1858, and
about half of the grants in Ari-
ona were made under these laws.
The other cases, of which there
are about 100, include about 80, 000,-
600 acres Of land, embracing many
town sites and mining districts.
The Nogales grant, whose validity
will certainly be decided as a
result Of the recent hearing, num-
bers $4,000 acres and includes with.
in its boundary the town of Mega.

The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1895-10-23

The most absurd project that ever
emanated from madman's brain
would, during this memorable year
QS36), have found credulous English
investors. It is difficult, In fact, 10
believe that some of the promoters
were not insane. In Durham, for in
stance, three railways, ell running in
parallel lines, not far apart, were pro-
iected. At Greenwich spectators
were eager to tunnel the park, and,
lest the vandalism should arouse in
dignation, proposed to erect marble
arches adorned with marble busts.
One inventor, confident that wind
was better motive power than steam,
endeavored TO propel his engine by
means of sails; another was certain
that by the aid Of rockets he could
drive locomotive at the rate Of one
hundred miles an hour. Fen more
delirious was the rush for fortune in
1S45.46. Tho number of projects was
enormous. Lines we're, on paper, du-
plicated everywhere, or carried into
the remotest localities. One was ad-
vocated because il passed through o
country celebrated for its genial
climate;" another, because it ran
across ground that had been invaded
by the Danes, and the London and
Exeter was actually thrust upon the
market on the plea that it ran along
the road used by the Romans. 1t is
estimated that $500, 900 per week was
spent in railway advertisements alone.

USES FOR POTATO Tors,

Since the fungus nature of potato
rot has become known, farmers are
less inclined to draw their potato tops
to the barn yard than they used to be.
No quicker way of spreading the
fungus can be devised than mixing it
with fermenting manure. Neither
should cattle be fed the rotten pota.
toes from the cellar during the winter.
Some OF the worst affected pieces will
be rejected by the COW and be thrown
into the manure pile. The potato
stalks often are affected by the fungus
when 1t does not reach the potato
tubers. But the potato top has valu-
able manurial properties andit should
not he wasted. 1t is very rick in
potash, and ms it rots very quickly, it
makes the best covering for straw
berry plants late in the fall. The
vines will he rotted down early in the
spring, and will not need to be re-
moved. They will furnish sufficient
protection IN winter without danger
of smothering the strawberry plants,
and in spring will make q rich mulch
that will help the growth of the berry
crop. boston Cultivator.

CATTLE RAISING.

CATTLE RAISING.
In cattle raising much of the profit
depends upon the skill of the feeder
and the maturity of the breed, two
points that were formerly never con.
sidered. Feeding then consisted in
supplying the animal with sufficient
food to keep him alive and to fatten
him if necessary. The quality OF the
food was not generally considered,
nor was there much trouble taken to
find out whether it was suitable
ration. The question of early ma
turity was never raised, because un-
known, the common stock of the coun-
try always maturing late,
All this is now altered. The various
kinds of feed and the best methods of
using them have become favorite sub.
iects for discussion and disagreement,
while the experiment stations, with
their innumerable tables and formulas
by which to construct ''well-balanced
ration" add greatly to the general en-
hghtenment and sometimes to the
general bewilderment, for feeding is
not and cannot be an exact science,
because the matter of price is one of
the prime factors in the calculation
how to produce the greatest amount
at the least possible cost. This is Just
where the skill of the feeder comes in,
and this is where experience counts.
He has learned the cheapest kinds of
feed in his locality and the proper
tions in which to mix item, and he
knows whether it is best to produce or
purchase them. He has also realized
the value of variety in the feed.
The introduction of the improved
breeds has brought up the question of
early maturity, with which we are all
now familiar. The quicker the stock
can be fitted for market the greater
the profit. Early maturity means the
largest proportion of muscle or lean
meat for the least food eaten, as wen
as the attainment of this condition at
the earliest possible age All growth
is made from what is eaten in excess
of the amount necessary to support
life, and the quicker it reaches the
stage best fitted for food not only will
it have cost less per pound, but it will
have developed the tenderest and the
largest amount of lean meat. These
two factors are the prime considera.
tions of the consumer, and the feeder
who caters to them receives the larg-
est returns for his work. This is SO
well recognized that all progressive
cattlemen now feed off as early as pos
sible. New York World.
