1t should be thoroughly understood
In connection with the dispatches con-
corning the disturbances at Vienna that
when the announcement is made that a
given newspaper is "confscated" by
the police it means merely that the one
edition of the journal containing the
article objected to by the authorities
has been confscated. Indeed, there is
nothing to prevent the newspaper in
question from issuing another edition
half an hour afterward. The "confisca-
ton" does not, as some people seem to
imagine, extend to the offices and presses
of the paper, but merely to the one edi-
ton.

underrrnund Corn Cron.

There is probably plenty of corn in
all the Kansas corntields this year If the
farmers only knew where to look for it
A farmer recently turned his hogs into
the oornfield because there were no ears
on the stalks and he thought the hogs
might be able to live in the field. To
his great surprise he noted in few
days that his swine were getting sleek
and fat. Determined to solve the mys-
terry, he watched the drove and noticed
them roofing around the roots of the
hills of corn and grubbing out good ears
ON which they were fattening He at
tributes this strange phenomenon to the
drought, which has caused the corn to
ear out so short that in many fields the
ears form underground like peanuts or
potatoes. - Sedgwick (Kan.) Panta-

Japan's railroad companies are to
duplicate their lines early in the new
year. In consequence arrangements are
about to be made by which great in
creases Of rolling stock, locomotives and
other material will be made every year
to 1908. In the case of one company
alone it is estimated that the duplica-
ton, with the extra rolling stock, etc.,
will cost $4,000, 900, as no less than
300 locomotives and 1900 passenger
and freight cars will be required, Much
of this material is to be purchased in
the United States.

The Palais de IIndustrie, in the
Champs Elysees, having been torn down
in connection with the preparations for
the international exhibition of 1900,
the government has assigned the great
Machinery hall of the 1889 exhibition
in the Champ de Mars to the use Of the
annual concours hippique, or horse
show, the agricultural show and the
salon or picture exhibition, all of which
have hitherto been housed in the Palais
de pIndustrie. The government has
likewise devoted sum Of $50, 900 to
putting the Machinery hall in proper
order for the various annual shows. As
the other buildings in the Champ de
Mars, in which the dissident salon has
for the past ten years held its annual
shows, are likewise doomed, the two
rival salons have been compelled to set
tic their long standing differences and
will once more exhibit jointly and IN
der the same roof.

NOT GOING TO i:oNOLULU.
The Oregon Not Suitable for Flag
ship for an Admiral.

An emphatic denial is made at the Navy
Department of the published report that
the battle ship Oregon Is going to Honolulu
as the flagship of Admiral Miller, who is
under orders to relieve Admiral Beardslee
as commander Of the Pacific station. The
fact is that the Philadelphia, now at Hon
olulu, will remain as the flagship of the
Pacific station until relieved by the cruiser
Baltimore, row being fitted out at Mare
Island for that service. Inasmuch as the
Baltimore will hardly be ready for sea
before October next, 1t Is more than prob
able that Admiral Miller will make the
trip to Honolulu on one of the Pacific mail
steamers.
Admiral Miller is now returning from the
queens jubilee on the cruiser Brooklyn
and is expected to reach New York in a
few days. He will visit Washington to re-
ceive his instructions, and then start west
to join his station. The battle ship Oregon
has no accommodations for an admiral
and could not be used as a flagship except
in an emergency. While admitting that In
case Of necessity the Oregon might be or
dered to Hawaii. 1t is stated that there is
at present no idea Of sending her there.

tore Retirement.
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn has re-
versed ruling Of ex-Assistant Secretary
Doe, whereunder private soldiers were de-
MED the privilege of promotion just before
retirement after thirty years service. The
present policy of the War Department on
this matter, which is one. of great import
ance to all enlisted men, is indicated in
letter written by Col. Thos. Ward, assist
ant adjutant general, to the commanding
general of the Department of the Column
bia, in which he says:
Referring to letter of the former as
sistant secretary of war. Doe, of August t.
1896. which was. perhaps. inadvertently
forwarded by the War Department direct
to all regimental commanders. the as
sistant secretary of war instructs me to
inform you that after careful examina ton
he finds that the impression upon which
the letter was based is not sustained by
the records of the department.
while 1t is true that the number of nom
commissioned officers the retired list is
greater than the number of privates il is
also true that this state of affairs has not
been brought about through any abnor-
NAL agency. But by promotion on account
of long and faithful service, and selection
for staff appointments on account of special
training ana ability, 40, or one-half of
the total nuraber of non-commissioned Of
ficers on the retired list, have been retired
from the staff departments of the army.
And 1t appears only reasonable that the
other nalf should come, as they do, from
the regimental organizations of the line
The only abnormal state of affairs Of any
can be said to EXIST arises from the fact
that 335 enlisted men out of the total OF
ever 1.aU should be retired as privates
after thirty years honest and faithful SER
1T is well known that all private soldiers
are not by nature entirely well fitted to
be non-commissioned officers, but at the
same time the duties required of them are
more laborfous. exposure is always greater
as for instances that OF walking post as
sentinel to the advance in line of battle,
and II any should be rewarded by slight
promotion just before retirement after
thirty years honest and faithful service
in the army. the private soldier should re-
ceive due consideration

drawn. and you will please notify regimen

FRIAR IS THE FAvORITE
Conditions Favorable for the $40, 900 Stake
Race at Couey Island.
Scottish Chieftnfn and Winged Foot
Are Also Regarded ms Porsi-
ble Winners Today.

NEW YORK, July 10.-The Coney Island
Jockey Club has been fortunate with the
weather for its spring racing season, and
this, the last day Of the meeting. was fully
as satisfactory as any that have preceded
1t. The track was in the best of condition
today, and there was a good breeze from
the ocean. which made II cool and CON-
fortable in the shade, although the rays
of the sun were strong. The horses en-
gagged in the Realization stakes to be run
off today had their early morning exercise
as usual, and all were in good shape to run
for the $4,000 which the winner will get.
Each made the circuit of the course, had a
fast eighth through the stretch, and then
was retired to his stall to await the call
of the bugle.
The entry list was somewhat larger than
in the last few years. no less than eleven
being on the list, although 1t seemed fool
ish for some Of the owners to pay $50 for
starting in a race which they should have
known 1t was impossible for them to win
strong favorite is The Friar. in spite Of
his last two races, which were very bad.
and in spite Of the fact that the same
jockey will be up, and may not ride any
letter than he did when he nearly chokcd
the life out of the good three-year-old. 1t
may be that people are hoping that differ
ent instructions VIII be given. and that 'ne
colt will be sent to the front at once, to
win az he did when the same tactics were
tried once before.
Next to him in favoritism is Scottish
Chieftain, the winner Of the Belmont at
Morris Park, with two pounds less than he
will have to carry today, but the distance
is quarter further, this race being the
longest of the year for three-year-olds. a
mile ard five furlongs being longer than
any of the many derbys. Buddha will car
ry a lot of money on account of the stay
ing powers he has shown in other races,
and Rensselaer,. that good colt Of McDon-
AIDS, will not want for hackers, as he has
shown good form in other races and in his
work for this event.
Winged Foot, the good filly which won
the great trial stakes last year for McCaf-
ferty, beating all the good colts, and then
went amiss, is now in the hands of Lake
land, and is said to be ready to run a fast
race. Some think she has a chance to win,
saying that as 1t has been a year of up
sets among the three-year-olds, and as she
has not yet won, it is her turn. Haphaz-
ard Challenger, Elkins and Caldron have
not shown anything this. year thus far to
make any one believe that they are in the
class with the others; Orestes is an un-
known quantity, and the western repre-
sentative DR.. Sheppard, has been prepared
in that section so no one but his owners
know what he can do. His last two races
were victories. but he had to be driven out
to beat ordinary horses.

THEY WILL SIT TOMORROW
Sunday Meeting of Tariff Conferees to Be
Held.
Question Of Reciprocity Requires
Much DfscussiOn - House Dele
gates Make Concessions.

The conferees on the tariff bill SUSPENDED
their labors long enough today to attend
the funeral ceremonies conducted over the
remains of the late Sena tor Harris, but
resolved before dispensing for this purpose
to reassemble Immediately after the con-
clusion Of the obsequfes and to continue
their work not only tonight but all day
tomorrow
The decision to sit Sunday was not reach
ed without some hesitation, but was de-
cided upon as necessary 10 expedite the
reporting of the bill The conferees are
still hopeful of being able 10 conclude their
labors by the middle of next week.
Question of Reciprocity.
While the major portion of the time Of
the conference SO far has been given to
Senate amendments over which there is
comparatively little dispute. there has been
more or less discussion Of some of the
more difficult problems, and one of these is
the form Of the reciprocity provision of the
bill. The advice Of the President has been
sought upon this question, and it is un-
derstood that he has expressed himself as
favoring a policy allowing considerable
latitude and based upon lfoeral principles.
The Senate represen' atives accept this
intimatton as favorable to their substi
tute for the House provision, as the House
paragraph is restricted 10 CERTAIN aTtlcieS
while theirs is made capable. of covering
the entire field of foreign commerce, al
lowing discount of - per cent, per-
hitting an increase Of, the free list and
delegating authority to- assure foreign
countries that any article covered will be
retained on the free list for five years.
The House members have not, however,
signltied their acceptance Of ahis view.
Concessions by House Conferecs.
OF the Senate amendments passed upon
the House represent atiyes have conceded
about three-fourths This Course they find
necessary because Of the fact that the
bill was considered so much more delib-
erately by the Senate than by the House.
They say the House itself would have
made many amendments H more time had
been given.
The conferees expressed confidence to-
day In being able to call in the democratic
members by Tuesday next. They stated
that they were succeeding better than they
had hoped to do in settling their differ
ences The democratic members of the
conference say that whether they will de-
mand much time In committee when called
In will depend upon what the republicans
do with the amendments made in the SEN
ate upon the suggestion Of democrats If
they find these to have been abandoned
they will ask for explanations.
