that Myron r Kent will not hang grow
brighter. Governor Allen has wired
Judge Mcconnell for the reason for

shrouded in mystery, and his convic-
tion is based merely on ciroumstantial
evidence which does not preclude all
possible doubt.

who presided over the trial, it is strong
language, and may influence the gov
ernor. Immediately on receipt of this
the governor wired Judge Mcconnell
to come at once to Bismarck. The
judge was at Sherbroke, in Steele

Ian boundary q Q ton. The other ar
bitrators, four in number, are to be
designated, two by the lord chief JUS

justice Of the United States. This is
the final and most important feature of
the long pending Venezuelan contro-
versy. The treaty was concluded in
Washington last night, at the British
EN- bassy, Sir Julian Paunoefots repre-
senting her Britannia majesty, and Sec
rotary Olney the United StateA
Since the return of Sir Julian Paunee-
fote from London three weeks ago, ne
have been proceeding. Most of the
meetings were Of such an important
character that they were held either at
Mr.. Olney's residence or at the British
embassy. the two houses being but two
blocks separated.
It happened that the concluding
meeting was at the embassy yesterday,
and special interest was given to it
from the fact that Lord Salisbury, the
British premier, was to make a speech
at Guildhall, London, in the evening.
1t is the annual event at which the
premier usually takes occasion to re-
view the status of the most important
international questions For this rea-
on it was desired if possible to ao-
quaint Lord Salisbury of the final and
satisfactory adjustment of the Venezue-
Ian question, in order that he might
make such announcement as he thought
fit concerning it When Secretary
0lney and Sir Julian reached their
final conclusions, cablegram was at
once dispatched to Lord Salisbury,
notifying him of the result. 1t reached
him within an hour of the time when
he went on the platform at Guildhall,
and it was the basis of his announce
ment to England and the entire world
that the Venezuelan controversy was
settled. 1t was q general announce
ment, without detail and without
reference to the personnel of the court
of arbitration.
Thus Washington and London par.
ticipated in this eventful scene, by
which the two leading English. speaking
nations reach the amicable means of
adjusting the most troublesome inter.
national question of years.

Admiral selfridge Came to the Rescue
of Armenian Refugees.
New York, Nov. lathe World
this morning says: The steamship
Boyne, of the Mercantile Steamship
Company, of London. arrived in port
on Friday from Gibraltar and Mediter-
ranean ports. Captain Fisher told
remarkable story to Collector of the
Port Kilbresth and others as to why
he had entered the port without a mani
fest. His ship lay at anchor off
Smyrna, Turkey in Asia, on October 0.
There had been several riots in Smyrna
for three or. four days, and the din of
another conflict and the cries of victims
of the assassins came over the waters
that evening. A small boat came up
and an aged man begged permission to
go aboard. With him were six others.
three of them women, all Armenian
refugees. Captain Fisher assented,
and, in order to be on the safe side, the
refugees were registered as passengers.
Not long afterwards a boatload of
Turks came aboard. Captain Fisher
refused to deliver the refugees The
Turkish officer said he would give the
Britisher until morning to turn over
the Armenians. Captain Fisher sought
assistance. An Italian man-of.war
refused to interfere. When dawn
came, the United States warship Min
neapolis came into the bay. The Brit
ish flag was sent swinging out upside
down and the Minneapolis lookout saw
the signal of distress Captain Fisher
told his story, and Admiral Thomas
Selfridge, jr., commandment of the Eu-
ropean squadron, said:
We will give you all the assistance
you want. You'll take these refugees
safely out of port if I've got to bonn bard
the town."
Admiral Selfrldge ordered off the
barge with detail of marines and
bluejackets over to the British ship,
with orders to hold her safe from at
tack. Then the American consul was
sent for. and it was agreed the Boyne
should sail at once under escort of the
Minneapolis. Soon bloody Smyrna
was many miles behind, but the cap
tain had forgotten his manifest.

Keeping Com merciar Fertilizer.

Most farmers In purchasing CONNER
cial fertilizers buy only what are need
ed for immediate use. This is partly
TO escape losing the interest on invest
,ments not In use, but mainly because
there Is a popular idea that fertilizers
deteriorate by exposure to the air. If
they are kept from becoming wet they
will be as good the second year as the
first, except that absorption OF moist
ure from damp air will make the min
eral harden into Jumps which will make
1t difficult to drill The best way to
keep any surplus of mineral fertilizer
Is to scatter Ii from time to time over
the stable manure heaps and apply 1t
with that. Both the stable manure
and phosphate will be m ade more eff
cient by this combination. as each kind
of fertilizer will supplement the de-
ficiencies of the other.

Firm Notes.

Bees do their own ventilating. by
standing about the entrance at such a
distance apart as will allow free use
of their wings, and, by working them,
produce current of air through the
hive.
Spread the onions on shelves in thin
layers and do not disturb them until
they are wanted for use. Onions may
freeze and thaw several times during
the winter without injury If they are
not handled.
In Russia sunflowers are made spe-
cial crops, the seed being ground and
used for cattle, the same as cottonseed
meal, and such food is not only whole
milk and butter.
Beets. carrots and turnips keep in
good condition in winter IL stored In
mounds, and apples should remain in
good condition all through the winter
In a dry cellar. The chief obstacle is
not the cold, but usually too much
warmth.
Cleanliness may not be a cholera
cure, says a writer, but IL the hog
growers of the country would come to
recognize and act upon the fact that
the hog neither enjoys nor thrives up
ON filth, 1t would do much toward re.
ducing the losses of hogs by disease.
Professor Blount, of the Colorado
Station, says a bushel of clean, sound
wheat of average size contains s22.-
600 kernels, and that half this number,
or half a bushel, is ample seeding for
an acre under irrigation, which insures
perfect termination. He finds larger
yields of finer wheat from this amount
than from any thicker seeding.
The fine grass of the hills is espe-
cially attractive to sheep, but the long
wool breeds are at home In the rich,
level pastures, and do well IL the soil
is dry. They are not such royers as
the merinos, but are content to fill up,
lie down and fatten and let their wool
grow. They make wool and mutton
rapidly and profitably.
