''By the way" said Senator Faulkner, at
the headquarters Of the democratic con-
gressional committee this morning, II no
tice that Mr. Babcock is quoted as saying
the circulation of Mr.. Bryan's Madison
Square Garden speech will make republican
voters. and that the more Bryan talks the
better he will be pleased. This committee
proposes to circulate many thousands Of
copies of that speech, and If Mr.. Bah
cock Is sincere in what he says he will
help US in that work. AS a test of his
sincerity. l shall watch to see If the re-
publican congressional committee orders a
large quantity of the Bryan speech for

declaration, We shall expect them to do
so.''
Virginia Enthusiasm.

Il am surprised" said Mr.. Swanson, lat
the enthusiasm in Virginia over the Bryan
ticket. l spoke a few days ago in one OF
the counties in my district which always
went republican by majority Of from 5UO

JOINT D. e B A T E
Democrats Anxious to Have Mckinley and
Bryan Meet.

There were number Of prominent poll
ticians at the headquarters of the demo-
cratic congressional committee this morn
ing. Gen. Warner, the well-known advo-
cate of silver, and president of the BIN =
tallic League, came in from New York. and
While In conversation with Chairman
Faulkr er reference was made by another
caller to the suggested joint debate on the
question Of silver between the leaders of
the two great parties. Gen. Warner said
he had no idea that such debate could
be gotten up, but he expressed the great
est confidence that Bryan would carry off
the laurels Senator Faulkner also said he
did not think such a meeting could be real
lied, and thought it would be useless for
the democrats to ask 1t.
The idea of a joint debate between Nc
kinley and Bryan Is being taken up by
many Of the silver men, and it is thought
such meeting would prove a splendid
means for placing the arguments pro and
con before the public.
IT IS said that each candidate could be re-
lied upon to put hard questions for his op-
ponent to answer, and 1t is argued that
verpatlm report of such a debate, which
might run over several days, would be print
ed IN every prominent newspaper in the
country, and would do more than anything
else 10 instruct the people on the money
question.
Republicans Against 1t.
The democrats would like to lead McKin-
ley into joint debate with Bryan They
Will not succeed in doing this. Republicans
do not think that their opponents are in
spired to this desire by any confidence that
Bryan could get the best of Mckinley in an
argument. nor that he would prove a more
popular speaker. Republicans express the
opinion that the only motive the silver men
can nave for wanting Joint debate is to
dignity Bryan. They say that Mckinley
cannot be drawn into such a discussion.
mckinley will take the stump In his own
way, and will maintain dignified attitude
during the campaign, and try to give strong
color to the contrast between himself and
Bryan.
Ex-Representative Langston's reference to
Bryan as moral tramp" places the "sil-
yer knight Of the vest in about the light
the republicans desire him to be viewed
and they do not propose that Mckinley
snail come down to the level of a joint de-
bate with him in a scramble after what
they term the tramp vote. The idea of the
sound money" advocates is that they have
the respectable business and conservative
middle class with them, and that they do
not need to enter into competition for the
support OF the tramps, anarchists and NAL
contents.
Mckinley Is to preserve a digni1ed course
during the campaign.

democrats are supporting Bryan and sill
yer. and they say that the state will go

Col. Morrison long ago announced his in
tention of supporting the democratic nomi-
nees. He said he had always supported
the democratic ticket and would continue
to do so. 1t is said that Col. Morrison will
make some speeches before the campaign
is over. He tells several interesting stories
of his trip. illustrative of what appears to
be an overwhelming sentiment for silver.

cured reasonable supply of the new five
dollar silver certificates from the bureau
OF engraving and printing, has arranged
to put them into general circulation as
rapidly as possible. beginning tomorrow
through the redemption OF old and worn

notes will not be ready for issue to the
public for several days yet. In the case of
both notes The treasurer desires to ac-
commencing their distribution to the pub
lie. The new ten-dollar silver certificate
is ready for the presses. but will not be
run off until the demand for the smaller
issues has been satisfied
Works of Art.
Each OF the new notes is described as a
work of art. and is regarded as fine speci-
men Of the engIAyer's handicraft. The
one-dollar note has been In circulation for
several weeks, and its appearance is per-
fectly familiar to the Washington public
The other candidates for public favor are
yet to be seen in the busy marts of trade,
however, and there is considerable curios-
ity among treasury officials to know how
they will be regarded.
The face OF the two-dollar series is from
a painting by e. H. Blashfeld, entitled
Science Presenting Electricity and Steam
to Commerce and Manufacture" The CEN
ter figure is Science, woman in Greek
garb. To her right stands an infant grasp
ing a small throttle and to her left another
bearing a galvanic coil. Commerce and
Manufacture, two graceful women, stand
ready to receive Steam and Electricity,
respectively. Above the group is an arch,
the semi-circle beneath which forms a
background of pure white. Against this
the various figures stand out with unusual
sharpness.
America painting by Walter Shirlaw,
adorns the face OF the five-dollar series.
The winged figure Of a beautiful woman
"America"-stands upon a globe. her feet
touching the map Of North America. In
one hand she holds aloft an electric lamp
to a bursting thundercloud. Additional al
force standing upon the backs of a span of
spirited steeds. Fame" proclaiming the
nations progress through a long trumpet,
and Peace" with her dove.
The face design OF the new ten-dollar note
is also the work of Mr.. Shirlaw. 1t is
known as the Agricultural Group" In
the center stands husbandman in shaggy
furs embracing his helpmate. On one side
is the form OF an aged woman grape gath
erer in the act of brewing wine, and on the
other a nude youth, both resting on a ledge,
over which, in the distance, may be seen a
field of plenty.

HusSnr TO suicide.
BUDA-PESTH, Hungary, August H.
Little else is talked Of here today than the
suicide and funeral Of Count Arthur Palla-
vicini a lieutenant Of the hussars, who was
buried yesterday. The lieutenant. a hand
some young fellow of twenty-one years of
age, became greatly attached to Miss Ethel
Barrison, one of the five Barrison sisters,
the well-known American variety artists,
whose doings in New York and Berlin have
attracted so much attention, and whose
scandalors conduct in Berlin brought upon
them all order Of expulsion from Germany.
Count Pallavicini sought in every way pos
sible to induce Miss Ethel to return hi.
love, but she only laughed at his protests Of
affection and apparently paid no heed 10
his threats to end his life IL she did not
alter her manner toward him.
Tuesday Count Pallavicini was found
dead, having committed suicide by shoot-
ing himself with revolver. In mis- left
hand were a photograph Of Miss Ethel and
a slip of paper upon which the unfortunate
young man had written:
Il beg Miss Ethel Barrison to come to
my coffin and press a kiss upon it,
The strange features OF the case natural
ly aroused much comment. which was not
in any way favorable to the American
music hall artists, and nobody believed
that Miss Ethel would grant her lovers
last request. But, contrary to expectation,
she appeared at the funeral yesterday,
dressed in the deepest mourning.
The affair has caused a revival Of all the
stories in which the Barrison sisters have
figured, including the elopement of one Of
the sisters with Count Barnstorf from
New York. Then it is recalled that in Feb
ruary last Count Won Wedel a young Off
Ger in the German army, was arrested for
having pawned jewelry which he had pur-
chased on installments. The disclosures
which followed showed that the young man
had spent quite fortune on the Barrison
sisters, and that when his money became
exhausted he obtained funds in the manner
indicated. in order to spend it upon them.

CONDENSED from Farmers Review STEM.
ographic Report)
Professor Bailey addressed the con.
ventlon. speaking largely on the apple
crop. He did not consider that farmer
that grow only one crop Of apples every
flvo years was really growing apples
Some of our apple orchards do not bear
more than one apple crop in thirty
years. Many of our apple orchards are
already past their prime, and the only
thing to be done In good many cases
Is to cut them down. We can't break
horse when he is twelve years old
and we can't make an orchard pro.
ductive that has grown old and never
has been productive. When apple
orchards are properly managed, they
are probably the best investment a man
can make with small capital. A man
can afford to wait two or three years
to get the ground in good condition be-
fore setting the first tree. Then the
orchard may be set rightly.
There are many cases where irri.
cation might be used in watering an
apple orchard, but there is no reason
to believe that irrigation will ever be
adopted to any great extent east Of the
Great Lakes. In New York, they do
not experience the great drouths that
are common in Michigan. AS we go
west to the great plains, the drouths
are still more common and severe. But
no man has right to talk of irrigation
till he has used all the water that falls
from the skies. He should learn to keep
1t on the farm, by good tillage.
men that make the most out OF SEE.
tilizers are, as a rule, those that till
best. There is a great deal of fertility
locked up in the unbroken clods. A
man cannot afford to irrigate till he has
learned to till
If we have prepared our land by deel
blowing, say to depth of eight inches,
we create a reservoir that will hold q
good deal of water. Now, in the future
there will be a good deal of irrigatina
done, but it will be by men that have
learned to till. When, in New York
state, during the course of year, thir-
ty-four inches of water falls, they have
enough for all crops, provided they save
1t. But more than half of it runs away.
The question then comes: "Shall we
subsoil our land?" There is little use
of subsoiling if we have a light sub
soil. The subsoil is of little value in
orchards, because on account of the
permanency of the crop you can sub.
soil but once. In the case of straw.
berries and some other fruits you can
subsoil, because you can turn up the
land every two or three years. Drain.
ing is one of the best ways of subsoil.

Wheat Crops of India.

Beerbohm says: The Indian wheat
crop is now certain to be a very short
one, judging from the official forecasts
which have been published. In the
Punjab the area sown is only about
6h million acres, or 1T per cent less
than last year. In the central prov.
inces there is also a considerable de-
crease, estimated by private advices
at 20 per cent; whilst in the Bombay
Presidency, although the information
is so far incomplete, the reduction in
the area is at least 25 per cent, judging
from the fact that in Guzerat, Deccan,
Karnatak and Sindh districts enough
is known to show that the area Is re
spectively 27 per cent, 30 per cent, Fl
per cent, and "a per cent below the
average. In the northwest provinces
and Oudh tho reduction Is 25 per cent;
and in Berar Id per cent AS the states
mentioned absorb rs per cent of the
total in India, we may estimate that tho
total area shown this year will not
much exceed 20A million acres, against
26 million acres last year. With re-
gard to the condition of the growing
crop, it was described as very poor at
the end of December, and although rain
has since somewhat improved matters,
especially in the Punjab, there is no
doubt that the yield per acre will be
below the average owing to an insult
ficiency of rain. 1t may, therefore, be
taken for granted that India, whose
exports during the past season will
not exceed 21a million quarters, will
practically cease to figure as wheat
exporter during the forthcoming sea-
son.
