FARMERS IN DISTRESS.
A Disastrous State of Affairs in Parts
of Argentine Republic

New York. Dec. 30.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
The agricultural commission appoint
ed to investigate the conditions of ag-
riculture in the province of Santa Fe
Will make a report to President Uri-
buru this week.
The report viii, it is said, show a dis
astrous state of affairs among the farm
ers in the province. 1t will recommend
as the only salvation commercially an
issue of 81, 600 600 in mortgage bonds to
be used in assisting the farmers in this
crisis.
Other measures of relief viii also be
proposed in its report. The commits
sioners says the crop in the province
viii fall so 900 tons short of the actual
necessities of the people.
BuenOs AyTes is now sending grain to
Santa F'e to relieve the distress. In or
binary times the yield in that province
is 500 COO tons, but the whole crop this
year is practically a failure.
The Buenos Ayres farmers will con-
tinue to send to Santa Fe for the relief
of their cOuntrymen, though that viii
prevent their exporting any grain.

USING CORN FOR FUEL.
Minnesota and Dakota Burning Cheap
Grain.

Minneapolis Dec. 31-For the first
time in their history Minnesota and
South Dakota will consume corn for
fuel the coming winter. Farmers all
through Iowa and states south of it
viii do the same, but the use of grain
for fuel is not new to them The high
prices of coal averaging at least 81
ton more than a year ago, are response
bic for this action.
A medium grade of soft coal now
costs in country towns anywhere fOm
S4-75 to S5.25. while anthracite is held
from $3.50 to 81, according to the
freights and the distance of the buyer
from competing coal dealers, the latter
item being a very important one 1t is
claimed that corn, selling at not more
than IL cents a bushel is much cheap
er than either variety of coal, besides
being handler and cleaner.
Some of the railways are reducing
Ignite freights and making every eff
fort to assist in the use of that fuel 1t
is safe to say, in general way, that no
eastern coal will this winter find its
way west of the Red River valley, and
that Dakota fuel viii be used in Min
nesota also. This increased consump-
ton of lignites Will educate the people
to the fuel. and bring it into general
use in parts of the west. where it has
not been burned. and with the prOmis-
ed better freight rates it viii hold its
ground, despite any later small reduc-
lions in the price of eastern Goals
There are from 5000 to 10000 square
miles in the Bad Lands and along the
Missouri river that are underlaid with
coal measures from 10 to % feet thick
1t can be mined at small cost and is
easily transported. especially as much
as lies along railroad lines or is con
tiguous to the river.
This coal is as rich in carbOns as that
of the east. bat has two or three times
the amount of moisture and ash, and
consequently requires special facilities
for firing The problem of firing is be
ing studied and every year finds it
nearer a perfect solution.

The Democratic National Committee
Will Do All it Can for Him.


Washington Dec. 30.-When asked
today what part the Democratic ma
tional committee would take in the Ida
no contest, Chairman Jones of that or
ganization said the committee had had
no meeting and could not act as such.
Many of the leading Democrats of the
country had expressed themselves as
DESTROYS Of promoting Dubois chances
in every way possible.
I'VE consider" said he, that Senator
Dubois and the element he represents
were of material assistance to US in
the last campaign and I, for one, feel
as anxious that Dubois should be re-
turned to the senate as if he We're
Democrat. The Democratic senators
feel thus about the matter. We feel
that no effort should be neglected in
Dubois behalf and viii continue our
exertions in his interests as long as
there is any likelihood Of success"
Senator Blackburn takes the position
that the alliance between Democrats
and Populists, made between their re-
spective state conventions, cannot be
binding upon the senators and repre-
sentatives who derive their power from
other sources.
I'VE owe Dubois a debt of gratitude"
said he, "and nothing should be allowed
to stand in the way of its settlement
It is a debt of honor, and, like all debts
Of honor. should be paid in advance Of
all other ObligatiOnS.'

BRYAN REFUSED $4,000.
May Not Fill His Present Lecture
Contract


New York, Dec. 31.--J. j. Roche orig
nator Of the scheme to take William J.
Bryan On a lecture tour over the Unit
ed States, has just returned from At
lanta, where Mr.. Bryan delivered his
first lecture Wednesday night
While Mr.. Roche is not very com
municative upon the subject, he says
enough to confirm the news that MT
Bryan first lecture was not satisfac-
tory and that the former candidate for
president of the United States Will be
permitted to cancel his lecture contract
if he cares to-
According TO Mr.. Roche he was in
strumental in securing D. i. McI3ee
Of Georgia, superintendent of the Sea-
board Railroad company, as financial
hacker of the Bryan lecture tour. Alex
ander Comstock was let into the scheme
and was to help manage the tour and
so per cent Of the profits and the other
so was to be divided between Roche
and C0mstock.
Under the provisions Of the contract
Mr.. Bryan was to receive $50 900 for SO
lectures. He was to be handed GER
tilted check for 10000 as soon as he
delivered his first lecture.
After the Atlanta lecture Mr.. AIcBee
offered Mr. Bryan certified check fer
SO, 600. Mr. Bryan refused to accept
it, He told Mr.. McBee that he did not
think he would continue the lectures. 1t
was evident that neither Mr.. Bryan nor
Mr.. McEee was satisfied with the re-
suit OF the first lecture and that neither
desired to force the other TO keep the
contract if he desired to break it, When
Mr.. Bryan and Mr. McBee parted it
was the understanding that the lectures
might be abandoned, but nothing def
mite was decided.
