Fitzsimmons Whipped Maher and Is
Now the Champion.
Lapgtry, Tex, Feb. "a. - Peter
Maher was knocked out by Bob Fitz-
simmons today in the first round, after
one minute and 35 seconds of actual
fighting. Fitzsimmons played the
same old game he has so often played
before-led on his opponent unfN
had him where he wanted him and
then landed a lightning right-handed
swing on the jaw and it was over. It
was the identical blow that knocked
out Jim Hall in New Orleans.
For the first part of the round Maher
had the best of it. He led often and
forced the fighting. In his eagerness
to get at Fitzsimmons, he committed a
palpable foul during clinch, and was
warned by Referee Siler that its repe-
tition would cost him the fight. Maher
fought we'll, but he was no match fer
his red-headed opponent, who proved
himself today one of the craftiest men
who ever stepped into the ring.
Fitzsimmons is now, by Corbett's ac-
tion in presenting the championship
to Maher, the champion of the world.
and after the fight was over he de-
clared, through Julian, his willingness
to defend the championship against
any and all corners.

THE REVIEW OF TRADE.
More Favorable Influences Are Re

More Favorable Influences Are Re-
ported Than for Weeks.
New York. = Bradstreet's weekly
trade review says: While no radical
improvement has appeared in the gem
eral trade situation, more favorable in
fuences are reported than for some
weeks. The drop in the temperature
has affected the movement of dry goods,
hats and groceries. The record for de-
clining quotations which began last
week is continued for some varieties of
cottons and the tendency of quotations
of wool is to decline, and prices of
wheat, -four, corn, oats, pork, lard
and petroleum are lower. The con-
spicuous advances are in coffee and
sugar.
Exports of wheat, flour included as
wheat, from both coasts of the United
States, this week, amount to 8, 149, 900
bushels, against ais, ZOO bushels last
week, and 1903, 900 bushels in the
same week year ago.
Scarcely less favorable than the i'm
provement in the bank clearings is the
sudden drop in the total number of
business failures throughout the coun-
try, that of the week being 276,
against 90 last week; 327 in the cor
responding week a year ago, and 235
in the week two years ago. There
are few failures also reported from the
Dominion, SO against 20 week ago,
38 in the corresponding week year
ago, and 53 in the week two years ago

JOINT BOND FIXED AT 100000
A Decision Finally Rendered in the
Northern Pacific Receivership
Case in New York Courts.

New York, Feb 24.-The motion
for argument in the matter of the ap-
pointment of receivers for the North
ern Pacific railway made in behalf of
the Farmers Loan & Trust Company,
was called today before Judge Lacombe,
in the United States circuit court.
Argument on the motion was made by
Francis T. A. Junkin and Herbert s.

ers' Loan & Trust Company. Silas
W. Petit and Henry Stanton were in
court to look after the interests of the
officers Of the Northern Pacific rail-
way, and the reorganization commit

Northern Pacific railway officials, said
they were not opposed to the appoint

they asked for their confirmation to.

Andrew T. Burleigh. E. Nathan. rep
resenting the second mortgage bond
holders, asked for the appointment of
but two receivers and Mr.. Howard, of
Root & Clarke, spoke for the third
mortgage bondholders.
A few minutes after o'clock Judge
Lacombe gave his decision approving
the appointment of Bigelow and Nc
Henry. The judge said:
''In view of the order heretofore
made by Mr.. Justice Brown, while as
signed to the district, am prepared
to sign an order in similar form to that
made in the court of so-called jurisdic-
tion, consolidating the two suits, ac-
cepting the designations of the old re-
ceivers and appointing the new ones,
but with clause providing that there
shall be kept within the jurisdiction
sum of money not less than 500, 900
to provide for the claims of any rcedit-
ors here, and further providing for the
service of papers on such receivers in
any cause begun here. Inasmuch as
the new receivers are non-residents,
and this court therefore has no means
of enforcing their compliance with the
above terms by personal service. they
should give joint bond in the sum of
500, ,OOO."

KAFFIR CORN HAS QUALITIES
Which Make 1t Desirable Plant for
Many Notwithstanding Cows
Diseases IN Winter.

Among the newer forage plants
which have been introduced into the
United States, Kaffir corn appears to
be one of the most promising. 1t has
been grown here several years, prin-
clpally in the central portion of the
country, and has rapidly been gaining
in popularity. The extremely unfav-
oarble climatic conditions of last sea-
son put all forage plants to one of the
severest tests they have ever received.
They showed beyond question, that
Kaffir corn has qualities which make
it most desirable plant for many 10.
calltles, as it was successfully grown
under circumstances in which most
other forage crops failed.
Kaffir corn is one of the nonsaccha-
rine varieties of sorghum. 1t can be
grown in great variety of soils and un-
der widely differing conditions of cli-
mate, but it is especially valuable
where the growth of vegetation is
liable to be checked by deficiency of
moisture. Naturally, its yield of
stalks and seeds is not as large on thin
soils as it is on those that are we'll
supplied with plant food, but, if other
conditions are favorable, it makes a
considerable crop on poor land. When
rains are infrequent it continues to
grow after many other plants have
come to a standstill, and after pro-
longed period of drouth it promptly
responds to the first fall of rain.
The stalks grow from four to seven
feet in height, and are well supplied
with leaves When grown only for
forage the seed is sometimes sown
broadcast, and the crop is fed green Or
is cut and cured like hay. It is much
better, however, to plant in drills and
cultivate like broom corn or Indian
corn. From four to five pounds of seed
will plant an acre of land. It does
not germinate as quickly as some seeds,
and at first it's growth is rather slow,
but it soon makes up for all lost time.
The time Of planting will vary with
the loaelity, but the seed can safely be
put in as soon as the ground is warm
in the spring, though very late plant
ing-even in July, has given good
crops at the South.

Milking Quality.

The cow has a certain degree of
adaptability and may be compelled to
change the habits of her system and
adapt herself to her feed. There is no
doubt but that by feeding ration that
is rich in heat and fat forming ele-
ments and low in flesh forming ele-
ments you will develop a beef ten
dency, and vice versa. We should be
careful to feed a proper milk ration to
dairy COWS to keep up profitable flow
of milk all the time, but what is
equally important that the milk ten
dency or habit be constantly encouraged
and stimulated with view to its
greater permanent development. If
this line of feeding is judiciously kept
up from generation to generation, says
a dairyman, beginning with our or
binary COW, the milk type and ten
dency will become permanently estab-
lished and become hereditary, and those
COWS that are our best mixers will be
developed into still better yielders by
this course.

Diseases in Winter,


More disease is brought into hocks by
purchasing fowls than from other
causes, as but few are able to properly
inform themselves of the condition Of
the purchased stock. Roup may be
present in a neighbor's flock and not
make its presence manifest, and where
it has once appeared, even with but
few sick ones among the number there
is sure to arrive time when it will
spread. The ground becomes contami-
ated, the germ of the disease are COM
municated to all, a gradual develop
ment is resulting, and when the birds
are brought and given a change Of
quarters the roup may appear. 1t will
then spread to the new flock, and the
farmer will have the work of battling
to save a lot of sick fowls instead of
enjoying the profits from a healthy
flock. To avoid disease, raise your
own fowls and never buy one from
elsewhere if it can be avoided. It is
the only sure way to add vigor and
stamina to the flock. 1t is of course,
necessary to add new blood, but it
must be done by the use of care and in
endeavoirng to secure only healthy
birds.

Condensed Record of the Doings of the

Washington, Feb. 20.-The session
of the senate today furnished a success

work was accomplished, but brief de-
bates on number of subjects develop.
ed frequent sharp personal exchanges
between the senators. Hill had a
lively tilt with Tillman of South Caro-

luton for senate investigation of the
recent bond issue. Allen joined issues
with Gear of Iowa and Wolcott over
the course of the Pacific railway COM
mission in conducting their inquiry.
mated but good-natured colloquy, and
Hawley and Allen had difference
somewhat less good-natured. Two ap-
preparation bills, the military academy
and the pension bill, were passed dur
ing the day. Efforts were made to
amend the military academy bill by in
creasing the number of cadets by two
from each state, 80 in all, but, after a
debate of three hours, the plan was de-
feated. The pension appropriation
bill, carrying $142, 900, 900, was
passed after ten minutes debate.
Washington. Feb. 21.-The Cuban
question came before the senate today
for definite and final action, and it is
expected that votes will be taken at an
early day on the several pending propo-
sitions-requesting Spain to recognize
the belligerency of Cuba, and request
ing recognition of Cuabn independ
ence. The first thing of importance in
the senate today was the reading of q
resolution from the secretary of the
treasury as to coin and other money in
which was ordered printed
for the use of the senate. The senate
then spent some time in discussing the
question of official procedure Squire

marine engineers be American citizens.
Minor bills blocked the way for some
time, but Call finally had the Cuban
resolutions called up, and the remain
der of the day was spent in discussing
them.
Washington, Feb. 25.-The senate
on public lands decided to
favorably report the house bill extend
ing the time within which suits may
be brought by the government to annul
grants of public lands.
The decision of the committee was pre-
ceded by hearing of representatives
of the various localities interested in
the proposed legislation. There was
before the committee to in

all concerned, and the amendment was

Agricultural Ticks.

If you have coal ashes, sift them,
and spread the siftings over the floor
of the sheep stables. 1t is next best to
plaster.
Do not get too many fowls on the
farm and overdoe the matter, for If
you do you will be sure to be money
out of pocket.
An important thing in the line Of
prevention of disease is the removal of
all fowls from the flock as soon as they
show any signs of disease.

Under the new postal appropriation
bill the secret inspection of letter car
riers by special agents will be stopped.
The bill provides instead, that there
shall be thirty additional postoffice in
spectors, who shall be assigned to the
free delivery service exclusively.
While these men will be nominally
under the authority of the fourth as
sistant postmaster-general, they will
be subject to the orders of the first as
sistant and the superintendent of the
free delivery service. They will de-
vote their time exclusively to the in
spection of the free-delivery service,
and will pursue the same methods pur-
sued by the special agents.
The secretaries of the American Bap-
tist Missionary Union, the American

held in Philadelphia, unanimously
voted that it is impracticable to hold
the anniversaries in May in Portland,
Or, according to the previous arrange
ment and announcement. The recent
destruction by fire of the Baptist Pub.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-The house
today passed the agricultural appro-
priation bill. 1t carries $3, 158, 1872.
The section of the revised statutes for
the purchase and distribution of rare
and uncommon" seeds, which Secretary
Morton declined to execute in the cur
rent appropriation law, was repeated,
the appropriation for seeds was in
creased from $3.50, 900 to 81 80, 900 and
its execution was made. mandatory
upon the secretary. Cousins intoduced
his amendment to reduce Mr.. Morton s
salary from So, 900 to $25 until he ex-
pended the appropriation in the cur
rent law, but the amendment was
ruled out on point of order. Several
amendments to the meat inspection act
of 1891, recommended by Secretary
Morton, which would have given him
additional power to enforce regulations
and have strengthened the law by the
imposition of penalties for violations,
were stricken out. Bills were passed
to dispose of the Fort klamath hay
reservation, and to grant the Colum-
bia & Red Mountain railroad right
of way through the Colville reserga-
tion. A resolution was adopted direct
ing the committee on ways and means

standard countries has upon the manu-
featuring industries of the United
States. The agricultural bill was then
taken up, and consumed the rest OF
the day. .

Washington, Feb. 25.-The senate
amendments to the military academy
appropriation bill were concurred in by
the house today. The senate bill te
amend section 5,294 of the revised
