celebrations United States Ambassador
Hay gave the marquis of Salisbury o
strong presentation Of the case from the
standpoint Of the. United States, but, it
is added, throughout the entire cor
respondence there was nothing to Of
fend Great Britain and there have been
no communications on the subject since
the jubilee. 1t is understood that the
Canadian premier, Sir Wilfred Lnuricr.
has conferred with the British govern
ment on the seal question. The in.
terests OF Canada are opposed to re-
stnctions being placed on sealing, and
as Great Britain is now cultiyating

may render it more difficult for the

on the subject

snip Majestic is expected to tie up at the

BUYING GRASS In RUSSIA
The Secretary Of Agriculture Gets
Twelve Tons by Cable.
Mr.. Wilson Denies That He Has
Sent Any Secret Commission
to Siberia.

The Secretary OF Agriculture received
a cablcgram from Moscow this morning 10
the effect that the Department of Agri-
culture could get twelve tons of Bromus
Inermus sound and cheap.
The cable has tendency to sententious-
ness. Secretary Wilson cabled back: Buy
it," and it has been bought.
The telegram was from Prof. Hansen,
of the South Dakota Agricultural College,
who has been appointed by Mr.. Wilson To
visit the northern ATTITUDES OF Asia, to bring
home and report on the kinds OF grain'
legumes, trees, shrubs, ETC., which thrive
In semi-arid regions. The purpose OF these
investiga tons is to introduce such classes
Of grain, vegetables, etc, into the semi
arid regions OF the southwest OF this
country.
A professor was sent to Asia twenty five
years ago for a similar purpose, from a
college in Iowa. One OF the results OF that
trip was the introduction OF many fruit
trees, and 4 species of Russian wheat that
gives forty bushels to the acre.
Secretary Wilson denies that the OPP
pontment of Prof. Hansen is either a
secret commission" or has anything to
do with the Investigations into the ques-
ton of Siberia as rival in wheat produc-
ton OF the United States, as enormously
published in New York paper this morn
ing. The appointment is made in ac-
cordance with an appropriation for the
purpose, and, as stated, similar duty
was performed twenty-five years ago,
with practical results, when there was no
talk of Siberia or any other country as
q rival of the United States. The wheat
production In Siberia, said Mr.. Wilson,
can be studied here as well as In Russia
The Bromus Inermus is Russian grass

of Agriculture. 1t is a good grazing and

least twelve tons of it. into the United
