Soil.

Probably in no coun4y in the state is
there as much variation III soil as in
this. There are in the county large
tracts Of land, which are now or have
been in the past, before the forest fires
swept over the county, covered with
hardwood. In these parts OF the coun-
ty is found rich black soil with clay
sub-soil. There is just sufficient black
sand found in the surface soil to make
it quick.
There are still other large tracts
where formerly the timber was mixed,
pine and hardwood, ranging from
those where the pine was scattering
among the hardwood to those where
it predominated and the hardwood
was scattering. In these parts more
sand is found following the nature OF
the timber which formerly grew upon
the land. Where the hardwood pre-
dominated the soil is heavier. blacker
and contains less sand and as the pine
increases the soil becomes lighter anu
contains more sand. In those parts
where the land was formerly covered
by pine exclusively the soil IS light
and sandy but is warm, quick ana cas-
ilv worked. Even in these old pine
choppings there is great variations.
Tn some the sand is fine and In some
places it is slightly mixed with clay
and can be made very productive by
the use of clover and other fertilizers,
while in others it is coarser and VIII
need more fertilizing. The very poor
est of it is fully the equal of large sec
tions in the central portions CT the
state, which today are covered WIN
fine farms and dotted with good farm
buildings and where. by judicous and
skillful farming, farmers have ma
themselves as prosperous as any IN the
state. Although there is no question
but what this latter class OF lands Will
all make fine farms some day. still we
would not advise the earlier settlers TO
select them as there is a vast quantity
of better land here from which to
choose.
Heavy clay land is also found in diff
ferent parts of the county, mostly
alone the streams AS in the other
kinds of land mentioned, the line OF
distinction between that and the other
kinds. is not closely marked. In this.
as in the others, all kinds of grada-
tions can be found from the sandy soil,
containing but very little clay, to the
clay soil containing but very little or

Going TO Nashville, Tenn. 10 Attend
the Annual Convention.
Mr., Samuel Gompers and Mr.. Friuk
Morrison, respectively, president and sec
rotary of the American Federation If La
Dor, left the city yesterday for Nash
Vile, Tenn, where the seventeenth an
nual cony eution of that organization viii
convene tomorrow morning. Mr.. William
Silver, who will represent the local Cen.
tral Labor Union, has also gone to NASH
vile.
Probably the most interesting matter to
the local members of organized labor and
to the eeIeial public of Washington which
will be considered will be the petition
for suffrage for the residents OF the Dis
trict inode by the Central Labor Union.
An effort will be made, it is understood
TO remove the national headquarters from
Washington 10 some Western city, but it
is probable that the attempt viii fail,
as it is said a large ma jority of the dele
gates favor the National Capital as the
proper place for headquarters.
The annual election of officers is also
a subject for serious thought among the
labor representatives from all points Of
the country. Mr.. Gompers, tue present
incumbent, has been president of the Amer
lean Federation several years and will
again be reelected. He will, however,
it is reported, have opposition, as it is
current rumor that II enry Weissmann eX-
president OF Bakers and Conf actiOnerS' Ma
tiunal Union; w. B. Prescott, of the In
ternational Typographical Union, and Mr.
James o'Connell, grand master OF the
National Machinists, have announced theii

New York, Dec. 11.-Evidences of q pos
gible collision far out at sea recently IN
which two big sailing vessels and perhaps
their crews Of half hundred men were
sacrificed, were passed on Thursday last by
the German passenger steamship il. IL.

According 10 this report, the Meier on
Thursday afternoon, passed the wreck OF
one sailing ship, aud a short distance
farther on fell in with a second dereAct'
the exact rig OF which it was impossible 20
make out.
Tie first vessel was floating Just awash'
and neither her name nor her nationality
could be learned.
The second craft was submerged ard
showed only certain pieces Of wreckage.
From the position of the two wrecks 1t
it would appear that they had met In
collision, and had then been separated
by the shifting tide.
There was no trace Of life about either
vessel, and whether their crews lad been
lost or were picked up by some passing
vessel is a matter of conjecture. The
wrecks are directly in the path Of the trans
Atlautlc liners and are a serious menace to
navigation.

WOMEN AS JOCKEYS.
Opening Up of New Profession :ol

Opening Up of a New Profession :or
the Sex. :.
(From theLoGisyilIe Courier ] ournal)
Is the work OF the jockey to be one Ct
the new vocations for women?
There is some talk of Devonshire Ass
who recently disguised herself as boy
and served successfully as a Jockey 1or
six months in the stable OF a British
baron, who, on discovering her sex, dis
charged her, Notwithstanding her good id
ing and her citation OF the precedent of the
girIhood days of Queen Bess.
We are told that the baron has now
realized his mistake in discharging her
though we are not told that he has taken
her back in his employ. He is even re-
ported as ssaying that women jockeys would
revolutionize the turf, to it's advantage.
The American woman also seems to
have designs upon the jerizin and breeches
of the jockey. a Los Angeles correspondent
of the Chicago Times-Herald relates this
instance:
During the short season of horse racing
recently held In this city habitues of the
track let slip the possibility of n rare

And Then a Glib stranger Swindled
Wilson Brewer Out of So.
A clever oolored confidence man swim
died poor old Wilson Brewer out OF the
Ena ior portion of his weeks wages last
night. Brewer is also colored, and has
worked at Galt's feed store for nearly
a score OF years. Last night he received

IIe had scarcely left his place of EN-
plovrnent when a well-dressed colored man
met him al First street and Indiana avenue
and said, Good evening" Wilson is a
type Of tie polite, honest old darkey, and
wished the other the same greeting. The
stranger seemed inclined TO talk, and so
the old man stopped, and a conversa tion
was begun by the stranger saying:

Brewer told him he was OF the Metho-
dist fAith, but that none but the pure IN
heart enter the Kingdom" SO it didn't
make any difference.
Finally his new made friend suggested
that they go across the street and have 4
drink. Tie cid man at first refused, say
ing he didn't indulge, but the other iu-
sisted Sc strongly that he at last yielded.
They had two rounds Of drinks, and they
walked cut into the street. The stranger

he claimed was a purse which contained

that the only men who made the Lest
jockeys were women. Why not? And he
reasoned from what he knew about horses.
"Tha young candidate for turf donors, a
slender slip OF bright-eyed girl. used to
wander around the paddock and tie sta

Valley. She had been born in the saddle.
She knew the whims aud moods of horses.
She could converse close TO their alert

filly, u dainty two-year-old, was her pro

War in Africa

LONDON, June ga dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Cairo says that a smart
skirmish has taken place between the An
glo-Egyptian column and the Dervishes
at Merawi, near the fourth cataract, the
most advanced post occupied by the Dom
gola expedition on the Nile.
Captain Peyton was severely wounded.
Merawi (Meree) is in the great bend of
the Nile between old Dongola and the
sixth cataract, Abu Hammid being at the
north point of the bend. The expedition
has proceeded to the point by water and
light railways and the original plan was
to make a flying march across the Biuda
desert to Berber near the junction Of the
Atbara with the Nile. instead of attempt
ing to pass the fourth and fifth cataracts
and making the entire distance by water.
The Khalifa's forces are concentrated on
the eastern side of the Bahiuda desert and
along the banks of the Nile between Ber-
ber and Khartoum.

JAPAN NOT SATISFIED
WITH HAWAII'S TREATMENT
OF IMMIGRANTS
A Mild Threat That the Little Brown
Man Will Resent Infringement
of His Rights

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-The
steamer Mariposa arrived from Sydney
via Honolulu this morning with advices
from the Hawaiian capital supplemental
to those brought by the steamer Peru
on Monday last. May oath, the day the
Peru left the island, the government an
nounced that its answer to Japan's de-
mands had been sent to the Japanese
Minister.
Minister Shimamura is not at all sat
isfied with the reply made by the Ha-
waiian Foreign Offise. In an interview
upon the subject he said: Il do not con-
slider what have received to be an an
swer to my request for particulars, and
shall make another attempt 10 secure
one. Japan asks nothing unreasonable;
she wants justice and fairness in the
matter-nothing else. If it cannot get
it, well, 1 do not know what will follow.
The action of the Hawaiian government
in refusing landing to people who,
Japan believed, after investigation made
before departure, were eligible to land.
was a gross viola ton of the treaty. Now
l have asked for an explanation, for
reasons for this governments actions;
and l am told that the position taken
by the Hawaiian government is that
the immigra tion laws are a reaSCnable
exercise of the police power of the state
and that the administration had impair
TALLY enforced them. My government
tells me to get reasonable excuse for
the action taken. 1 cannot find it in this.
l do not think that my government is
acting arbitrarily in this. a matter
which involves the honor of the nation.

CT the affair." and probably knows the
status of the case as we'll as we do and
if the government at Washington be.
lieves that the position taken by Japan
is right, according to international law,
there will be no interference. On the
other hand, if our position is arbitrary
any nation may interfere. japan un-
derstands that there is tacit under
standing that the United States has in
terests here. that while not assuming the
proportions Of protectorate, she stands
in the nature of god-mother to the
island republic; but the officials Of the
United States government are too well
versed in the custom Of dealing with
questions of international law 10 say
that Japan is wrong if she is right. or
that Hawaii is right if she is wrong.
my instructions in the matter are
plain. If l cannot get a reasonable an

IN THE HOUSE
Attempt Made to Secure Recognition
of Cuba


WASHINGTON, June 3.-The house
proceedings today We're enlivened by
a single incident, the attempt of Mr.
Terry of Arkansa to secure considera-
tion as a privileged matter of a resolu-
tion for the immediate appointment of
the committee on foreign affairs. 1t
was ruled out of order and an appeal
taken from the decision Of the cha r
was laid on the table by strict party
vote. Mr. Simpson, the Populist leader
was absent, and several bills were passed
by unanimous consent. The Frye bill
to prevent collisions in certain harbors
rivers and inland waters Of the United
States, was passed, and the senate res
olution for the relief of the Ell Paso snlf-
ferers was amended so as to make the
appropriation of $4,000 available our
of the unexpended balance of the ap-
preparation for the Mississippi flood, suf-
ferers and passed, and the conference
report on the Indian appropriation bill
was adopted.
Mr.. Terry arose as soon as the journal
had been approved. His question of
privilege, he said, virtually affected, the
rights of the house.
Il am a southern man and Demo-
crat," said he. II believe in justice and
hate injustice"
Here the speaker interrupted him
rather sharply and directed him to
state his question of privilege.
Thereupon Mr.. Terry read a long
resolution, with several ''whereases, .
which he had prepared. 1t recited the
interest of the people in the Cuban ques-
tion, the passage Of the bslligerency res
