Montana Silver Statue.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 14-What
was doubtless an attempt to steal the
s225,0O0 gold base of the famous
Montana silver statue was frus-

fed and were chased for several blocks

A Fund of $500 10 Be Raised for
Yacht Prizes.
Special TO the News.

NEWPORT, March 14.-Last night was
the time set for the holding of the Demo-
cratic city convention for the purpose of
nominating an Assent bly, ticket, but some-
how the supporters OF that party in New
port are taking little interest in
politics. Last night there was barely a
quorum present, and 10 secure that
the chairman had to wait 20 minutes after
the time set for the meeting. When the
nominations were called for, Mr.. +. +.
Nolan, for the nominating committee, in
formed the convention that they were
not as yet ready to report, and
recommended another adjournment
to Saturday night which was
made. 1t is now understood that
they wish to run ex-senator William Il.
Underwood for Senator, but il is doubt
ful IL that gentlemen will stand. Then
Mr.W. Il. Clarke's name is mentioned, but
there is no possibility OF securing him.
Both are good men and would poll the full
party vote. 1t is now rumored that the
Republicans mean TO nominate Represen-
tative Burdick for Senator as il is UNDER
stood that Colonel Powell, the first choice
and present incumbent, will not stand.
There was some talk OF Colonel Horton,
but it is generally supposed that his party
will try and secure for him the nomina-
tion of Lieutenant Governor. The Re-
publicans will meet in convention tomor-
row night.
For Yacht Racing.
Commodore +. p. Sands and Mr.. Robert
Goelet have succeeded in raising $500 to
be used for prizes for four days extra
yacht racing off this port at the close of
the cruise of the New York Yach; Club.
One thousand...dollars will be devoted
20 purses each day when special
races will be held or both schooners
and sloops. These gentlemen also hope
to raise a sufficient sum to hold races OF
smaller craft in Narragansett Bay, espec-
tally the 21-foot fin keels, which attracted
so much attention last summer. The
society ladies will also raise a su description
for cat boat races TO be sailed by them
selves. The plans for the races are to be
laid before meeting Of the yacht club on
April 2S.

Committee on esslutions.
Mr.. Tiepke,Af y Pawtuck,t, moved that
a committee on resolutions, consisting
of delegates from the several
counties, be appointed by the chair.
The motion was carried and
the following delegates appointed to
serve: Henry Il. Tiepke, William 8.
Hopkins and John M. Buffinton, of Provi-
dence county; A. l.. Gilman and Clarence
c. Wordeli, of Newport county;
Isaac f. Williams and &. III. Seymour OF

OF Washington county.
The orator from t1e new city OF Central
Falls took the OCCASION while tho commit
tee on resolutions was out to address.the
convention that had chosen him for it's
chairman, and TO review in general way
the career of misrule OF the present
national administration.
The committee on resolutions then re-
turned to the auditorium and In its be-
half Chairman Tiepke presented the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were read and
unanimously adopted. The resolutions
are as follows:
The Platform.
The representatives of the Republican
party of Rhode Island in convention as
sembled hereby reaffirm their loyalty to
the principles of Repu ublicanism.
After two years OF Democratic admin
istration, "a full control of the several de-
partments of the. Government, we appeal
from the failures, the imbecility, and the
absence of national pride that has brought
disgrace upon the Amer lean people, to the
success, the wisdom and the patriotism Of
the Republican party, which. during its ad-
ministration of qua>.er of q century,
preserved the Union, settled the great
problems of reconstruction, maintained
the national credit, established our bank
ing system, adopted and preserved the
American system Of protection and made
the name OF America respected through
out the world.
We favor return to tariff system
which recognizes as of primary import
ance the principles of protection. The en-
ployment OF American labor and capitals
a surer sign of national prosperity than
the increased importation of goods, the
manufacture of which has furnished en-
ployment to foreign labor and capital,
while our own has remained idle.
While changing conditions In the busi-
ness and commsrcial world necessitate
frequent changes in tariff schedules, the
principles of protection remain the same,
having for their foundation the single,
patriotic idea; protection to AmeEcan in
terests.
We favor just and liberal pensiNs for
the relief of the poor and disabled ve,er-
ans of the late war. The Republican
party continues TO believe that there is no
statute of limitations against a grateful
recognition by the Government OF the
services and sacrifices of the soldiers OF
the Republic.s

Inpestlgnsiax COTTON Weevil.

The department OF agriculture is en-
gagged IN the Investigation of the cot
ton-boII weeviE. which has recently
been introduced into southern Texas
from Mexico. The insect Is practically
new to entonologists. The Texas cot
ton planters discovered it in their
fields last summer and the department.
began an investigation 1T in found
that district of about 1000 square
miles Is infested with the insect which
bores into the cotton boil and ruins
the fiber and seed In some instances
IT has caused a loss of from 5
to 90 per cent from the crop. 1t
spreads rather slowly by fight, but is
carried into new regions in cotton
brought from the infested fields to the
somewhat widely-separated cotton
gins The department has warned the
governor OF Texas of the probable ex-
tension of the damage to the cotton
crop in Texas in the near future, and
the probability of the spread Of the in
sect to neighboring cotton-growing
states. Immediate legislation has been
urged to Isolate the affected region
and also the Mexican border, and pro-
vide for the appointment of commits
sion to enforce remedial work against
the insect during next summer

HERE AND THERE.

Creamery men say that il costs *
cents per pound to make butter. To
this add cost of cream, interest on in
vestment and three separate profits,
and you will come pretty near what
the creamery butter on your table
costs
We would not advise anybody to
plant pecan trees with the expectation
that they ''can be in bearing condition
in five years" Persons best acquainted
with the pecan will not be misled by
the writings of enthusiasts, and no one
else will if we can help it.
Farmers in the southwest are walk
ing up. There never was so much in
quiry after knowledge; there never
were so MANY farmers studying the
problems of agriculture as now. The
business depression-that still contin-
ues-is enough to cause them to put
on deep brown studying caps"
The prospect favors returning
profits in the business Of raising beef
cattle. An examination of market
statistics for a long period of years
shows that the well-bred and well-fed
steers, weighing from 1900 to 1,5OO
pounds alive, have always sold at
price that paid profit to the pro-
ducers.
When American sheep-breeders and
raisers follow the example of England
and breed for mutton the sheep will
again become valuable and the busi-
ness profitable. The people will buy
good mutton, while the thin carcass of
the wool breeds will beg for pur chaser
or sell for song.
In a majority of cases the breed.
ing sows are kept too fat, and especial
ly when the farmer is commencing
with one or more sows of some of the
better breeds. When they are allowed
to get too fat during CESSATION, they
will not bear either so large or as
healthy pigs as if only kept in a good
thrifty condition.
Salt mixed with wood ashes in tn
proportion of one of salt to four of
wood ashes, applied at the rate of a
handful to the center of each hill of
corn Immediately after planting, will
supersede the use of scare-crows and
coal tar, as no worm or crow will touch
it, besides giving the fertilizing prom
critics Of the compound.
Hon. Samuel WAde, of Delta conn
ty, Col, made an exact test of the
money value of single acre of the Ben
Davis apples in his sixty-four acre or
chard this season. The result was
s76o of sound apples sold from the one
measured acre. How do these figures
compare with a wheat, corn, oats or
barley crops?

ati that by the use of alfalfa, artichaises
and sugar cane. pigs may be pruibahiF

The published analYsesof sugar cine
are those made with special references
to it's value in the production OF sugar.
ON ,are saa of Handbook of Experi-
inent Station Work. (lsulletin Mo- 1sl,
is given brief table OF analyses OF
sugar-eane juice. While these show
an average OF about 14.s per cent. of
s>solids'' in the juice, most of which
consists OF sugar and glucose, and
nearly all of which would, IN an

val1le,, be elassed AZ digestible carbo-
hydratss and reengnized a. fat-f0rln-

ties of nItritive matter. sugar eanes
however, is not we'll adapted for faI-
tening hogs, notwithstanding the
large percentage of Hydrocarbons it
contains. The digestive apparatus OF
the hog is adapted to concentrated
feeds, which sugar cane is not. Its
vaIue for hog feed would not be Great-
Ey different fron that of enrn fodder
from which the ears had been re-
moved
The question then turns on the ahili-
ty of alfalfa and articholses to enrreet
the characteristics of the eane. Green
alfalfa contains little over III per
cent. of digestfble solids aud nearly -
per eent. of water. Comparing this
with the best of all hog feeds--eorn
and wFieat-it will be seem that the
latter are far more concentrated feeds
than alfalfa Thgs, corn contains
nearly 30 per cent. of digestfble natri-
tive substances, and wheat il quite
as concentrated Analyses of ar
sieholtes are not at hand, but
they will not be found to
be much richer than the best of the
roots and tubers Of which analyses are
abundant. OF these POTATOES may be
cited, and they contain some 16 or u
per cent. of digestTbIe nutrients.
tt will thus be seen that a ration
composed of the three articles nan4ed,
In whatever relative proportions, nast
be very bulky one 1t Is doubtful II
hogs could eat enough of them to
