FALL TREATMENT OF STRAW
BERRIES.

In a communication to the Farmer
and Fruit Grower. o, w. B~lacknallsa
strawberry grower, says:
As the strawberry plant grows, or
at least increases its root growth even
in cold weather, when the ground is
not frozen, and also ripens its fruit
early in the spring, a large part of the
manure used should be applied in the
fall. or all times this is the best to
apply stable manure. Used then as a
top-dressing its value is doubled, for
when thus applied its fertilizing pow
crs are not only most effective, but
also act as mulch to protect the
plants from cold and, most import
ant still, to lessen t&p freezing and
thawing of the ground, so damaging
to the roots.
For the very best results, the straw
berry should be repeatedly and liber'
ally MANFRED before planting, while
growing, and before making its fruit,
But even a neglected field can be
transformed into the most valuable
spot on the place by the following fal
treatment: Kill all weeds by shallow
Itscraping with hoes; in matted rows
thin the plants to stand from tlvet'
six inches apart; mix well and appl!
evenly over the beds, plants and all, a
the rate of 100 pounds muriate of pot
ash and 200 pounds dissolved bone pc
acre; over this scatter evenly owe
the whole field ten to twenty two
, horse loads Of stable manure.
, Where the application of stable ma
/. nure is very heavy it is best to defe
putting it on until the ground begin
to freeze hard part of it should ais
| be. drawn off before the plants star
, growth in the spring and left in mic
dies. But at least ten large loads,
not lumpy, a be safely used afte
october /, provided 1t is evenly oil!
tributed.

Senator Stewards Opinion of
the Silver Bond Bill
He Proposes to Offer an Amend
ment as a Test.
SILVER SUBSTITUTE.
The House Attendance Slim but
Reed Sees a Quorum.
Chinese of Northern FormOsa
Rebel Against Japs.

WASHINGTON, Jan 31.-A very ami
mated debate closed the Senate session
late yesterday afternoon over the ques-
ton of taking the vote on the pending
silver bond bill. 1t had been expected
throughout the day that Mr.. Jones of
Arkansas, IN charge of the measure,
would hold the Senate in session until
a vote was forced. He had given no.
tice of this purpose and Senators were
prepared for it. But at 5:45 when Mr..
Villas secured the floor for a speech he
yielded to motion to go into execu-
tive session. Mr. Jones explained that
it was proposed to take a recess until
to-day. He felt satisfied, he said, that
a vote could be taken in the near
future.
This led to much discussion. Mr..
Chandler was sarcastic at the aban-
Stewart declared that it made no diff
whether vote was taken. 1t was all
''dress PARADE and ''buncombe" He
added the significant statement that
the pending silver amendment would
be germane as an amendment to the
tariff bill, but that when the latter
measure came before the Senate he
would offer a silver amendment to
test Senators on their choice between
silver and tariff. After lengthy dis
cussion the Senate went into executive
session and then took recess until to-
day, without any exact understanding
as to the vote, although the talk had
shown a purpose to secure vote on
Saturday.

Louisiana Delegates.
Vim. Pitt Kellogg, who is for
Reed, Lost Ground.
CONVENTION UNRULY.
The Planters Fusion Ticket was
Heartily Endorsed.
Platt's Enemies in New York
Making Serious Charges.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 3I.-The Repub-
1ican State nominating convention
held it's second days session yesterday,
and at late hour last night was still
in session and very noisy. KellOgg's
men, who are for Reed, lost ground
all day. The business men of New
Orleans and the sugar planters, when
it became evident that Kellogg would
carry the convention for Reed, got to-
gether quietly and such pressure was
brought to bear in behalf of the Nc
Kinley men that caucus of all the
leaders except Kellogg was held, and
1t was decided to send two Mckinley
delegates at large and two Reed men
to st. Louis. There is but little doubt
that the decision of the caucus will
hold, and that Henry Demas and j.
NJ. Vance will be the Mckinley dele
gates, and Albert Leonard and An
drew Hero the Reed men.
No resolution referring to the presi-
Dental candidates will be passed by
the convention. This will give Nc
gates from this State. Four have
already been elected. Governor War
moth says two will go from his dis
trict. A. I. Wimberly and Richard
Sims have an easy fight in the Second
district, and both are enthusiastic Nc

sixteen delegates to be elected who will
be for Mckinley A fight was made in
the convention on A. Cage, who is
a candidate for reelection as chair
man of the state central committee,
and who is a Mckinley man. The ex-
element rose to such heights that
chairs were overturned, Chairman
Guicjard thrust from his place on the
platform, delegates knocked down and
trampled under foot, and the utmost
confusion reigned. The fight against
Cage was not successful.
About midnight the convention set
tied down to work and the first i'm
pOrtant move was accomplished. The
fusion ticket put up by the sugar
planters was Endorsed, making three
conventions which have declared IN
its favor. The nomination of pres
identiaI delegates was taken up.
Kellogg, who has been handling
Reeds cause here, was first nominated
and move made to elect him by &C
clamation, but this failed and it was
decided to first make all the nomina-
lions before taking a vote.

". G. T. o. Protest Against Military
instruction in Schools.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Mrs. Frances
W. Letter of Mansfield, Ohio, superin-
tendent of the department of physical
culture in the National W. c. T. u,
through the department of legislation
and enforcement of law, of which Mrs
Margaret B. Ellis, of East Orange, N.
J., is superintendent, is sending out
the following petition to each 1egisla-
tor at Washington:
1--WE. the undersigned, in behalf of
300, 900 members of the National w.
c. T. u, and the homes which these
members represent, do most earnestly
protest against the passage of any
measure by your honorable body which
aims to provide military instruction
in the public schools of the country.
We believe that these schools have
been esta bIished, and are supported,
for the purpose of developing citi-
zenship, and should, therefore, teach
the principles of true government
and peace rather than the science
of warfare. We further believe that
systematic body training in all grades
of these schools W i'll help produce the
best of which each child is physically,
mentally and morally capable, insur-
ing to the government the support of
loyal citizens under any and all emer-
gencies. VIII you use your influence
and vote against all bills which in any
wise design to introduce and esta blish
military tactics in the pu bile school
curriculum.

THE BAYARD MATTER.
House Committee Unable to Agree Upon
a Conrse of Action.

House Committee Unable to Agree Upon
a Course of Action.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3I.-No decision
IN the matter of censuring Ambassa-
dor Bayard was attained by the House
committee on foreign affairs, but the
discussion upon the question, which
the most interesting which that COM
mittee has INDUCED in for a long
time. The members were practically
opposed along party lines, the Repub-
icans urging a resolution of censure
and the Democrats standing by the
Am bassador.
The subcommittee, consisting of
Messrs. Draper of Massachusetts,,
Pearson of North Carolina and Dins-
more of Arkansas, which had been
charged with the settlement OF the
matter, reported it had been unable to
agree upon the form of a resolution.
1t laid before the full committee five
drafts of resolutions which had been
submitted by members of the COM
mittee. There was wide
range of difference between
these resolutions. The most radical
of them denounced in strong terms
the Edinburgh and London speeches
and called upon the President to re-
on the other hand, did not mention
the utterances of Mr.. Bayard, but
simply expressed general disapproval
of the practice of making speeches on
home politics by any foreign repre-
sentatives of the United States in the
countries to which thew are accredited.
1t is understood that Mr.. Cousins of
Iowa has prepared resolution which
calls Mr.. Bayard by name and cen
sures him, which meets the approval
of a majority of the Republican mem
bers of the committee. Chairman
Hit is said to favor a milder form of
censure than most of his party col
leagues on the committee desire.
The Democrats are not disposed to
agree to any more radical expression
than a general statement that Ameri-
can representatives abroad should not
utter reflections upon the people of the
Uniteo States. In the meeting Mr..
Money and other Democrats expressed
disapproval of Mr.. Bayard's speeches,
but argued that the House had no jur-
isdlction in the case.

brother and sister-in- law, who was form
erlv Mrs. William K Vanderbilt When
society saw that Oliver Hazard Perry
Belmont and his bride were not present,
but that William Z. Vanderbilt was one
of the conspicuous guests, it walked
hastily into various corners and whisper
ed-a most impolite thing to do in COM
pany, but not altogether unnatural under
the circumstances.
Mr. and Mrs. o. II. P. Belmont were
not only absent, but their names vera not
upon the invitation list The entertain
ment was called an "opera supper and
cotillion." 1t was worthy a more digni-
fed appellatioD, for it was luculllsn

A NEW SAMPLER.

Cripple Creek VIII Erect a Works
With Capacity of 200 Tons Per Day.
CRIPPLE CHEEK, Jan. 31.-The rapidly
increasing output of the camp has made
a second sampler an absolute necessity,
and one is to be built forthwith.
Architect Rice, with Moore & Murray,
yesterday completed plans for sampler
200 feet long by 81 feet wide, that is to be
erected in the upper part of town in the
Midland 'Y." The location of the big
works is such that ore can be unloaded
from cars and wagons and reloaded into
cars without any extra expense of haul
ing, as the sampler is entirely surround
ed by tracks, or will be when the ar
rangements are finished. Grading for
the track and for the foundation was be-
gun yesterday.
This sampler is to be complete in every
respect only the most modern machin-
cry and appliances being utilized. Its
capacity is 200 tons per day. The ma
chinery will be running within sixty
days after letting the contract.

Bliss was made permanent chairman.
Mr.. Mitchell presented the report of

pointed to investigate the alleged
frauds in the Republican enrolment
in this city.
The report reads in part as follows:
f'The committee have received very en-
couraging assurances Of.support and CO.
operation from Republicans through
out the city. Under the direction of
members of the bar, acting with the
committee, a number of inspectors
charged with fraudulent conduct at
the recent primaries have been arrest
ed and held for trial by city magis-
trateS, and their cases are now pend
ing before the grand jury. Further
work in this direction is now under
considera ton The committee gives
a list of the assembly districts in which
they allege the enrolment has been
padded to the extent of %, 900 names
out of q total of 1900.
Resolutions were passed favoring a
new enrolment throughout the city
BY many this is regarded as the first
dent organization. When the enroll
ment is completed the committee of
fifty will then proceed to take further
action.

WANTED. POSTAL BANKs.
WOrkfngmen whose Savings Are Small
Buy Money Orders.

WOrkingmen Whose Savings Are Small
Buy Money Orders.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-Postoffice attaches
say that people in general are becoming
capitalists. Not Goulds and Yanderbilts,
but capitalists to the extent of their saw
ings, holding instead of 8 per cents.
United States money orders payable to
themselves-sound as gold and safe as
consols.
"The public wants the postal savings
bank" said an officer of the department.
People who do not know to what bank
to intrust their savings are put
ting their money in sums of less
than 500 into postal money orders
payable to themselves. Within year
they draw the money and deposit it in
the same way. Instead of drawing in
terest they have to pay about g per cent,
but they are absolutely certain that their
money will be forthcoming when they
want it. Go over to the postoffice and
see for yourself if I'm not right.
Foreigners and workingmen buy
the self payable money orders, princi-
pally, doubling the security of the banks.
People generally would be surprised to
know how large number of these orders
are issued in a year. Without going
over the books for a month could not
give even a guess, but I know that the
volume of the savings bank business of
the money order division aggregates
many thousands in tho course of year."

QUEBEC's CARNIVAL.
Recent Attempts to Modernize = Quaint
Old City.

Recent Attempts to Modernize = Quaint
Old City.
QUEBEC, Jan. 31--Ia the summer the
people of Quebec have the American
tourist on their hands, and there is lit
tie business doing in the harbor. In
winter there is nothing for the good
Canadians to do but hold their hands or
to warm themselves, if they are poor,
over the driftwood which they draw
from the bottom of the st. Lawrence.
Fishing for driftwood is a necessary o.
cupation OF the poor in summer. They
go out in boats, and with long spiked
pole search the bottom of the harbor for
water logged timbers. When they find
one, they spike it and draw it to the sur
face. What they rescue in this way is
all they have to keep them warm in the
long, hard winters.
The Montreal winter carnivals, begun
a few years ago to attract tourists, have
been great success. They have been
given biennially. Two winters ago Que
bee determined to try the experiment of
giving carnivals, to alternate with those
of Montreal. The first of these carnivals
was very successful. The second will be
given the last week of this month. Great
preparations for it have been made.
Arrangements have been made for a
French opera company to give a series
of French and Italian operas. There will
be masked balls every night at the rink.
There will be curling contests and games
of hockey on the ice. An ice fort has
been built. It will be assau lied and cap
tured by the snowshoers one night in
carnival week. After the storming of
the fort there will be torchlight parade
through the city. There will be owing
competitions, snowshoe races and many
other sports. In the daylight parade, in
the middle of the week, all the primi
tive life of Canada will be illustrated,
and its historic figures will be repro
duced. The red blanket and tasseled
cap of the snowshoe men and maidens
will be over it all. Thousands of snow
shoes will skim the surface of the hard
snow that lies on Dufferin terrace in
front of the great big 81, 900, 900 hotel
of the Canadian Pacific railway. Blaz-
ing wood fires within will keep the
American" guests warm. The Amer
icans'' are the people from the United
States. The people of Quebec, or at least
those who are natives of Canada, are
quite as much Americans, but they dis
tinguish the people from the other side
the border with that continental title.
They are Canadians always, Americans
never.
It is only of recent years that Quebec
has had a hotel which could compete
with the hotels of New York and other
great cities. The erich Americans have
made this possible. Few Of them saw
the quaint. artistic side Of the primitive
lodging places in the "Basse Vile" or
the more pretentious, though no less

First Break From Hunter.I

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 31.-The first
break in the Hunter ranks occurred
yesterday. when DIR. J. E Chambers,
of Kenton, voted for Judge w. IL
Holt, of Frankfort. The announce
ment of Chambers vote caused a cry
to go up among the anti Hunter peo-
pie, who declared it was all over with
HIM. Whether this will turn out to
be the case or not remains to be seen.
Judge Hollis friends. it is said, assert
that if all the Republicans will go to
him he can be elected.
