A NEW DEPARTURE.

Attempt to Be Made to Make Agrieul-
tural Reports Valuable.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-A new de.
parture has been made in the publica-
tion work of the agricultural depart.
ment Hereafter it will call ON special
lists in certain lines of agricultural
work, though not connected with the
office, to make Investigations of i'm
portance to agricultural interests and
to prepare brief papers or articles en-
bracing the results of the
work. These will be paid
for at rates which the department. re.
CARDS as reasonable, the funds being
provided for in the congressional ap.
preparations. Many persons we'll
known here and abroad will be asked
to contribute. The new scheme origin
ated with Assistant Secretary Dayney,
and it is stated, has never before been
adopted by any branch of the govern
ment. Its object is to do away with
the publishing OF labored articles of
unusual length, couched in technical
scientific language and Of little interest
or Importance. The plan will be car
ried out in all the branches of the serv:
ice, though many OF the publications
will be written by experts in the en-
ploy of the department.. Messrs. r. B.
Handy and John Hyde, Jr., have been
detailed to assist the editorial division
in supervising the work.

Country to Defeat the
Enemy.

LONDON, July 25-The Times Ha-
vana correspondent telegraphs as fol-
lows: Since the news OF the death Of
General Santocildes on July II, the au
thorities have had no news of Captain
General Martinez de Campos despite
repeated inquiries to Santa de Cuba
and other points. Great fear that a
general uprising has taken place in the
province Of Matanzas, which has been
in restless condition. The defeat Of
the Spanish troops, when Santocildes
was killed, has given an impetus to the
revolution, especially in the province
Of Santiago de Cuba, where the iron
miners have joined the rebels.
Ihave seen letter from General
Maximo Gomez explaining his reasons
for the proclamation forbidding work
On the plantations for the supply Of
provisions to the town. He says that
while Spain obtains sufficient revenue
from Cuba to pay her soldiers the Off
cials will continue to rule. When the
revenue ceases they will retire. This
practically means that the insurgents
are prepared to ruin the whole country
III order to force Spain's hands.

Results of the Recent Test of Motor
Vehicles in France.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-C. w. Chan
cellor, United States consul at Havre,
has made report to the secretary on
the subject Of horseless carriages, in
which he tells of the recent competi.
tions in France between carriages of
various kinds of motors other than
horses. The course prescribed was from
Paris to Bordeaux, distance Of S5S
miles and back, any vehicle which con-
sumed more than 100 hours on the road
to be disqualified Prizes were offered,
the principal one amounting to 100000
francs, for four seated carriages.
The best time was made by four
seated and two-seated vehicle, both
propelled by gasoline. They covered
the distance in "a hours and So min
utes, making about Is miles per hour.
This record, Mr. Chancellor says, is
considered very creditable, in view Of
the necessity Of climbing long lines of
hills. These hills appear to have
proved too much for the electricity
propelled carriages, only one of which
gov through. ne eleCGflc carriages
lost time by being compelled to stop
frequently to renew their dynamic
charges, as did the steam propellers
by stopping for fuel and water, while
the petroleum machines carried suffic-
lent fuel for "a hour run.
Mr. Chancellor says the ordinary
feeder is used for short distances in the
petroleum carriages, contains less than
four quarts of Oil and this is sufficient
for journey Of 20 miles. He also
mentions petroleum cycle which en-.
tered this race and held it's own with
the larger vehicles, and says that the
time will soon arrive when gasoline
will come into general use for propell.

DUNN DOESN'T AGREE.

ST. PAUL, July 25 Notwithstanding
the opinion OF Attorney General Childs
shat the Duluth and Iron Range road
Is entitled to it's land grant the matter
Is by no means settled.
State Auditor Dunn says with great
frankness and equal firmness that he
shall not consider himself bound by the
opinion OF the attorney general.
''With ally respect to the attorney gem
eral, ?" he said, II am not altogether
satisfied with his conclusions, and in a
matter involving as much to the state
as this does shall prefer to have the
matter in issue between the state and

fore turn over to Them land very con-
ssrvatively valued at $l,000,O00, and
which would otherwise go to swell the

"The attorney general bases his opin-
ion almost entirely upon a decision OF
the supreme court, which he cites at
length. 1 do not desire at all to ques-
tion the soundness of that decision, but
question its bearing on this contro-
versy for the reason that the state was
not party to the case involved. The
attorney general thinks that the ques-
ton of the constitutonality of the
grant was involved i'll that decision
cannot see that it is, except perhap,
remotely. It certainly was not a direct
issue in the case
81 have had a conference with the
attorney general since the opinion was
promulgated. There is absolutely no
feeling between MS on this point.
He is as anxious as I am that the
naked question Of the constitutions
ality Of this grant should be
passed upon by the highest court, and
think he is, even now, considering
the question of how the matter can be
brought before the court. It has been
frequently held that mandamus will
not lie against an executive officer of
the state. One of the methods that
has been suggested, however, as pos
sible way of getting the desired decis-
ion would be for the state to commence
an action against the Duluth and Iron
range to compel the reconveyance to
the state of the lands already patented
to it under the grant. do not know
yet just how we will go about it, but
one thing is certain, before this road
will get any more lands under the
grant, at least during my administra.
tion of this Office, the supreme court
must affirm the position taken by the
attorney general"
