The Sealing Industrv,


London, May 25.-The under-secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs,
George N. Curzon, in the house of COM
mons today, said that with the CO.
operation of Canada and the United
States, two professors of natural history
will shortly proceed to the Behring
sea, in order to study the fur. sealing
industry. Mr.. Curzon, replying to a
further question on the subject, said
that the regulations for fur sealing in
British Columbia were in some respects
contrary to the recommendations of the
British commissioners. But he ex-
planned they could be only revised with
the joint consent of Great Britain and
the United States. Steps, he con-
tinued, were being taken to inquire into
the working and the adequacy of the
regulations, with the cooperation of
Canada, owing to the repeated repre-
sentations Of the United States in re-
gard to the inadequacy of the present
regulations for the proper protection of
the seals.

AMost Goreaons soene.

Moscow, May 25.-The czar and
czarina made their triumphal entry
into this city this afternoon, amid the
thunder of batteries of artillery, the
changing of countless bells and the
cheers of a vast multitude of loyal
Russians and equally enthusiastic
visitors from all parts of the world.
Probably never in the history of ma
tions has there been such an assem-
blage. Possibly the gorgeous scene
may never be repeated in its grand en-
tirety. At o'clock, in anticipation of
the coming of the czar, the entire
route from Petrovoski palace, about
three miles on the road to the Krem-
lin, was so densely packed with people
that movement except on the outskirts
of the crowds was out of the question.
From 2 o'clock this morning the route
to be followed by the procession had
been guarded by troops, until the road
may be said to have been lined by
thickness after thickness of blood and
iron

Eagle Cliffe, Wash. May 25.-About
$3.50 O'Clock this evening, while R.

forehead, his arm broken and he was
instantly killed. Jewell received a
slight wound in the back of the head.
None of the party who did the shoot

SENSATIONAL SERMON.
DR.. Acton Predicts a Revolution In This
Country.

Country.
Seattle, May 26.-J. II. Acton, pas.
tor of the First Unitarian church, in
preaching the baccalaureate sermon in
the university of Warrington today, de.
veloped sensation by picturing the
present condition of the world in the
darkest possible colors, and prophecy
ing speedy revolution in the United
States, which, he said, would be ac-
complished 'at the cannon's mouth, if
need be-" and which he predicted
would overturn the existing order of
things, and radically modify national
government. Comparing the country
with the Roman empire, he said:
"Fome could levy taxes at the will
of her ruler, declare any complaint
treason, marry her daughters for money
and titles, punish servants hardness
with death. let the thief and murderer
go free with mild reproof, and make
slaves of the profoundest philosophers.
What less than this is America doing
today? Rome's moral poverty sealed
her doom. Oh, my country, is it true
OF thee! The last appeal of an out
AoSOu AdtlOu Is T0vOluGlOn. For
America now there is no other redress.
1t must come. We do not want new
hands at the helm, but a new ship.
Revolution is at hand, but it need not
be national ruin. Foundations long
considered divine will be torn up; con-
stitutions long considered sacred will
be changed. This will not come az the
echo of patriotic song. There is
great ruin and loss and upheaval near
at hand. Do you ask me how these
great radical reforms are to be in
augurated? I will tell you. By the
power of intelligent decision; by the
explosion of expanding indignation; by
the final climax Of fruitless patience,
which has at last eliminated in the re-
slstless fury of the tempest. -
The sermon has provoked severe
criticism. as it is known that no such |
sentiments are cherished in the uni.
versity, and it was thought out of place

INSURGENTS ARE VICTORIOUS.
Maceo and His Followers lombard a
Town and Cross the Trocha Into
Havana Province.

New York, N. VA Herald special
from Key West, Fla, says:
. Well-informed passengers from Ha-
yana confirm advices received by mail
that Maceo has crossed the trocha at
Artemisa and joined other insurgent
forces in Havana province.
They declare that the report circu-
lated by Maceo of his ensampment at
Cacrajicara, and a contemplated at
tack on that town, was merely feint
of the rebel leader to concentrate the
Spanish troops at that point.
That the ruse was successful is
proved by the fact that General Con-
zales Munoz, with large forces, was
sent in that direction to attack Maceo,
but upon their arrival to Cacarajicara
the Spaniards found nothing but a
deserted camp.
Maceo's followers under forced
marches then made detour to the
southwark and suddenly appeared at
Artemisa, the central post on the trocha
line. Giving his men temporary rest
the insurgent chief sent word to the
commandant that he intended to bonn
bard the town, giving the inhabitants
five hours in which to leave the city.
Not needing Maceo's threats, the
Spaniards would permit no one to
leave. The result is known from the
reports which have already been oabled
from Havana Maceo opened fire on
the town with his artillery and thirty
shots from the rebel dynamite gun
were thrown into the city.
Every building is said to have been
leveled while the slaughter of noncom.
batants was appalling. During the
carnage Maceo and his followers
crossed the line of the trohca into Ha.
vana province, where they joined the
forces of General Aguirre.

Great activity is reported at Plea
cho. in San Diego county. ON the Colo
RADIO river, where ex- United States Sem
ator Stephen W. Dorsey and associates
OF Denver are investing heavily. They
hav already purchased mines to the
value of over half million, and a
deed has been filed whereby Colonel d.
X. Allen transfers to George w. Ire
land for 5000 the Golden Dream
group of five mines, the Ajcyon group,
the Orc Blanco group and the MONDAY
group, with four millsites. They are
hardly more than prospects and are
valuable principally because they are
OF immense size and are SO located that
there is every reason to believe they
will go down and hold their richness,

low-grade propositions the Picacho
mines are said to be among the most
promising on the Coast, having CHEAP
water and fuel and great veins that
are more like quarries than the lodges.

Likes the Red Hog Best.

i have had large experience during
the past thirty years in seven States of
our Union selling all kinds of live
been close observer. A word about
hogs. During the fall of 1895 the
hogs of our country were largely swept
out of existence by the cholera. l
have noticed one fact in my travels
that might be worthy of mention, and
that is that the disease seemed to con-
fine itself to the Poland China, the
Berkshire and Chester White breeds.
In all my observations have failed
to see Jersey Red OF Durco hog that
had the disease. At one of my sales |
sold some two hundred Durcos and not
one of them had the disease, while the
other hogs over the same county were
being almost totally cleaned out by
the cholera. have noticed in hand
ling Poland China shoats that they APP
pear to have but little muscle and are
unable to make a vigorous kick or
squeal. They hang limp and torpid
in your hand and do not seem to make
any exertion, while the red hog will
make resistance that is worthy of
admiration. Now, there must be
some cause for this morbid inactivity
of the black hog. What is it? l
believe it is over inbreeding. The
black hog has been inbred to such an
extent without crossing that he is
nothing but keg of lard. He is
opposed to exercise; he is not rustler;
he just eats and lies down--a big
chunk of fat, having scarcely any of
the organs of muscle, blood, circula-
ton, or anything that goes to make
him an active hog. He is becoming a
physical imbecile by this breeding
process. If you want proof of this,
note the price of lard in Chicago and
the price Of mess pork. If the Poland
China breeders would get the old
'hazel-splitter" male and cross on
their females they would improve
their lard caddies. The red hog, in
my opinion, is the best all-round hog.

the rule is broken, says the Lodi Senti-

much less.
The season opened late and it was
Thought that only the first cars sent
out would find sale, but the warm
weather continues and the demand is
better than has been known in October
for years. OF course the present con-
dition of affairs may change in day.
There are plenty of melons in the
fields, in prime condition, but cold
storm would at once put an end to
orders and they would never be mar
keted. The frightening of the season
is of great benefit to the growers, as
most of them had accepted the inevita-

Few Sensible Hints TO Suit the Busy
Agrieulturlst.- Items That May
BENEFIT our Readers.
Butter-MakinE without Ice.

lone great advantage the creamery
has over the private dairy is in a sup
ply of ice to use in hot weather." says
writer in Epitomist. "Ice in q
creamery comes so near necessity
that few would undertake to run one
without ice. But an abundant supply
of water will answer the purpose. 1t
takes longer to cool with water than it
does to throw a lot of ice into the
cream, but there are objections to cool
ing by putting ice into the cream.
The reports from all markets now con-
tain the information that most of the
creamery butter has defects, due to hot
weather. And yet the creameries all
have ice. In the private dairy it is
much easier to get along without ice.
In the first place no cream has to be
carted along the road in hot weather
and become heated. In the second
place there is less cream to cool and,
therefore, less water will be needed.
In the third place the COWS need water,
and the water used to cool the dairy
house can be run through it and go to
the COWS, so there is no extra water
needed to cool the cream. In the
fourth place large tank of water
should stand in the dairy house and
the cream can be set in this and it will
keep cool and need no extra cooling.
/ When the butter comes, cold water is
necessary, not ice. If the wind blows,
the problem is already solved on Iowa
farms, for they have windmills tc
pump for stock and the stock water
can run through the dairy house. But
if the wind will not blow at that time,
then hand pumping must be resorteG
to for the supply, or other provisions
made. No hand pumping is done fol
our dairy. A tread power stands in a
power house near by and shaft runs
through the dairy house. If colo
water is desired when zephyrs ar,
asleep, horse is led into the tread anC
he does the work. No ice is desired
for butter-making with such conven
fences. Pure, fresh, cold water suit
better than stale water made cold witt
ice. A refrigerator is in the dair,
house also. No ice is used in it, bu
simply cold water. Instead of putting
cold water into this refrigerator, tn
refrigerator is put into the cold water
1t is galvanized iron tank inside o
the water tank, and the water passin,
through this water tank for all stool
purposes, keeps butter hard and mic
in the refrigerator. In hot, still
weather there is no trouble, for, if tn
wind is missing, the supply of water i
kept up by a horsepower for stock
and so the water in the dairy hous
! tank is ALWAYS cold -
