To Finish Panama Canal

A Washington dispatch says: IL is
understood here that France and Eng.
land have made an arrangement for the
completion of the Panama Canal, and
that Germany would have been a party
to the agreement but for the Greco-
Turkish complication. It is thought that
Germany will yet take q hand, and an
effort is being made for a Quadruple
alliance in the undertaking, with the Co
operation Of the United States, Such
an alliance would command l,477 war
vessels, mounting 1928 guns and man
ned by 17S,685 seamen; would represent
three quarters Of the worlds merchant
shipping and would be the most power
full for peace in the history Of the world.
Engineers estimates indicate that the
canal can bs completed with locks
through the Culebria cut for 100000, 0,0O0.
Nathan Appleton Of Boston, Mass, who
has represented the Panama Canal Com
pany's interests in this country ever
since the days Of De Lesseps, has already
called on President Mckinley to protest
against participation by the United
States in the project Of the great powers.

Simpson Asks for Investigation Of the
Sugar Trust.


Sugar Trust
Representative Simpson introduced in
the House a resolution directing the
Speaker to appoint a committee of five
to investigate the sugar trust. The
resolution is preceded by two whereases,
the first of which declares that it is
currently asserted" that the American
Sugar Refining Company has in violation
Of law created "a gigantic monopoly"
and the second that said corporation "by
the use Of watered stock, by unfair COM
petition and by illegal combination has
crushed out legitimate competition to an
extent which gives it the power to de-
press the price Of the raw material and
to advance the price of the manufactured
article at will, thus throttling the cane
and beet agriculturists with one hand
and graspinR the purses Of the consum-
ers with the other"
The committee authorized by the res
olution is empowered to send for persons
and papers and TO investigate the
methods OF the company, it's effect upon
agriculture and commerce, "as well as
the enhanced cost Of the necessaries Of
life;" and the committee is directed to
report their findings, and il the facts
warrant it bill instituting proceedings
by the Attorney General by quo sOGr-
TGnto to annul the corporate existence
Of the trust.

famous Punishment.


A story has been going the rounds of
Republican papers that the police officers
have made an order that female prisoners
in the city isils at LeaVenwOrth and
Kansas City shall be put at work in
overalls on the rock pile in the same way
as men are now treated. 1t is alleged
that this order was made with the
knowledge and consent Of Governor
Leedy. In this connection it may be
stated that Governor Leedy told an
ADVOCATE representative recently that
he knew nothing Of the matter.
The ADVOCATE very much inclines to
doubt that such an order was made or
that a Governor elected by the common
people Of Kansas would sanction such an
infamous proceeding or countenance
such action on the part Of his sub.
ordinAtes. 1t may be true that the
women who reach the city Jail are Of q
class that should be punished, but there
is no excuse for the inhiction Of unusual
or extremely severe punishment. 1t
should be the policy Of prison officers to
make prisoners better and to improve
them rather than to degrade them and
infict abuses which are almost in
human.
tits safe to say that no matter by whom
authorized, the plan Willnever be carried
out. The people of the cities interested
and OF the State would not tolerate such
q blot on the fair name of Kansas.
Women on the rock pile was something
that the trainers Of the old blue laws
would not have authorized, even though
various forms Of punishment more or
less degrading we're practiced by them.
1t should not be true that Kansas in
these enlightened days should stand be-
fore the world as the champion of such
q degrading and outrageous form Of
punishment as that OF placing women
in male attire at work in city Jail yards
cracking rock along with criminals of
every kind. The ADVOCATE does not
believe that Governor Leedy or any
Populist Governor would tolerate such
proceeding at any time or under any cir
cumstanCes.
AS the forms are closing a letter from
Chief Of Police Quarles is received show
ing that the authorities at Kansas City
were considering the matter of providing
some employment for female prisoners,
that someone suggested overalls and the
rock pile, and that daily newspaper
Immediately started the story that such
an order had been made. This is the way
such charges against POpulists are
generally started, The rock pile for
women is not Populist measure.

A CRISIS In CUBAN AFFAIRS
Cuban General Gomez Proposes to End the
War Quickly.


MaXimo Gomez has changed radically
his plan Of campaign. A letter from him
was received in Washington recently.
Heretofore the commander Of the army
Of liberation has waged q waiting war,
He has maintained that the course for
the CubRns to pursue was TO let the
fever among the soldiers and the finan-
Cial stringency Of Spain win the battles
for independence. He has been satisfied
to avoid fighting and to worry the Span
ish forces, But, for reasons which seem
good to him, the leader Of the insurgents
has now adopted an entirely different
policy. This letter brings from Gomez
himself the information Of the change.
"It must be settled quickly" General
Gomez says, speaking Of the war. He
tells that it is his purpose to force
crisis ss speedily as possible. To this
end he has left the scene OF his long
delay near La ReformR, ON the eastern
edge Of Santa Clara Province, has made
his way across Santa Clara and MatRnzss
Provinces, and 10 now within Havana
Province. He intimstes that he regards
some quick, hard blows in the vicinity
Of Havana as vital TO the cause and that
he will direct them in person.
The letter was received by on officer
Of the insurgent army who came to
Washington recently. Its contents can
not be made public further than has
been indicated. They are not inter-
preted as altogether encouraging by the
receiver, but rather as showing the near
approach Of a desperate situation, q
crisis in Cuban affairs The officer in
receipt Of the letter from Gomez will
leave at once for the island. He be-
lieves that the fate Of the insurreCtion
is about to be determined. And he is
not as hopeful ss he would like to be.
The General does not unfold his plans,
but the officer is sure that nothing in
the form Of an attack on Havana is in
tended. He believes it is more probable
that Gomez will try to take some Of the
smaller cities Of the province. The
moral effect Of this would be to show
Spain most fOrcibly how farciCal are
Weyler's claims about paCiRcatiOn, and
to deter the sending Of re-enforcements
asked by the Captain General for opera
tions in the unsubdued eastern pro-
vinces.
The feeling that the immediate future
is to produce important results in Cuba
is shared by the Administration. Within
the past few days three American Con-
suls on the island, located az Matanzas,
Sagua and Santiago de CubP, have asked
for leaves Of absence. Under ordinary
circumstances the requests would be
granted. Mr.. Barker, the Consul at
sagua, has not been away from his post
in three years, and has been urged by
his physician to take vacation for rea-
sons Of health. But the State Depart
ment has notified all Of these COnsuls

The value Of Cow Manure.

Cow manure does not heat quickly.
It Is therefore not In favor for forcing
beds or for crops where early results are
important. For this reason it ought al
ways to be partly composted, so as to
reduce Its bulk before it is used. It 10
excellent to mix with manure from the
horse stable, because the latter, being
drier, Is much more likely to become
fire fanged" from the entire destruc-
ton Of its vegetable fiber. Yet in actual
value the slower COW manure is more
nearly equal to horse manure than is
generally supposed.
From fattening cattle fed as horses
are ON hay and oats the excrement is
quite as rich as that from horses, and
it does not differ from the latter so
much as is commonly supposed. Careful
experiments have shown that ON full
ration fed to young growing cattle only
6 per cent Of the nutrition of food went
to make growth. With milk cows CIV
ing milk this proportion was increased
to 90 per cent. Considering the amount
Of nutrition which COW in full flow Of
milk manufactures from its food every
day this result is remarkable. In fat
tening animals the food eaten furnishes

Trial of Hay Caps.

The frequent and extended use Of the
three styles of hay caps-viz, the
Symmes' paper beard. oiled cotton and
cotton impregnated with tannin, has
led to the following conclusions at the
Massachusetts hatch experiment station:
l. Caps of some sort are extremely
useful, especially with such crops as
clover, millet, oats and peas and other
slow curing crops, especially those
much injured by excessive handling.
2. The Symmes' cap is most quickly
applied--an important point-and is
best liked. 1t appears to be wearing
very well, 8. OF the two styles of cloth
caps in use, those impregnated with
tannin are most durable. The oiled caps
are more mildewed than the others and
have become much more torn. 4. II
has been found that in some cases,
where clover has been cooked quite
green and covered with the three kinds
of caps and allowed to stand for some
time with frequent rains, 1t has kept
better under the cloth than under the
Symmes caps. The porosity Of the for.
liner in such cases appears TO be an ad.

Concerning Alfalfa


Alfalfa should be cut every time it
blossoms unless seed crop is desired,
and if used for soiliDg on field prop
erly proportional to the number Of ami
mails to be fed regular succession Of
cuttings of green fodder may be OBJ
tanned. If fed in large quantities, it
should be allowed to wilt, as without
this precaution it is liable to cause
bloat. 1t is not safe for pasturage Of
cattle and sheep for the same reason,
but horses and pigs are not likely to be
injured. Alfalfa silage is said to have
disagreeable odor and taste. 1t is
readily eaten by cattle and compares
we'll IL composition with clover silage.
1t has not been tested at the station, as
the green forage has been In too great
demand.
The hay is very nutritious, but re-
quires care and favorable weather for
making, as the leaves are easily lost
when the hay is too dry, and with the
foliage disappears a large part Of the
valuable ingredients of the crop. Great
deterioration takes place if the curing
hay is exposed to rain. The stored prod
uct does not shea water well and IL put
up damp is subject to mildew and mold.
