state OF Iowa. Along in the early
70's Mitchell was the great wheat pro-
ducing county Of all Iowa, but on
account 81 climatic changes the pro-
ducing Of the prominent cereal has
almost entirely ceased and today we
have in its place diversified farming

present time is corn, barley and oats
and every farmer is a sock raiser and
the fine herds to be seen on every
hand attracts the general attention Of

CUBAN FILTBUSTERS.
Cabinet Discussed Them Yesterday-At- torney- General McKenna Conservative.

Cabinet Discussed Them Yesterday-At-
 torney- General McKenna Conservative.
 Washington, March 16.-The filibus- tering operations between this country and Cuba occupied the attention of the cabinet to-day. Attorney General Mo Kenna gave his views on the permit ting of alleged filibusterers to clear for Cuban ports with cargoes of arms and sion followed his remarks.
 The attorney general has decided not to render an opinion in the case of the steamer Dauntless until he can obtain additional facts relating to the applica- tion of her owners to clear from Jack sonville with arms and ammunition. Under ordinary commercial conditions the application would be granted with out question, but the fact that the Dauntless or any other vessel would be obliged to clear for some Cuban port held by the Spanish puts new phase on the matter.
 The cargo could not be landed there and the vessel would be seized. This would land the cargo at some point along the coast and in order to deliver the arms and ammunition to the in- surgents an armed force will be neces- sary. The knowledge of this raises the question whether the men necessary to carry out the plans made for tilibus- tering vessel would not constitute an armed expedition, clear violation of law.
 The attorney general will have to de- eide whether the force likely to be taken on the Dauntless is an armed expedition, within the meaning of the law. Permission was given the steamer Commodore to clear for a Cuban port with arms and munitions of war, but the vessel was wrecked before reaching the Cuban coast.

.1N rNrEEEsriNG LECTURE.

Ninth in the Sheffield Course Delivered
 Last Evening by MT. Bumstead.
 MT. H. A. Bumstead delivered last evening at North Sheffield hall the ninth in the Sheffield lecture course, his subject being "Electrieal Waves and Light" The lecture hall was filled with a large audience, while many who were unable to obtain seats stood up.
 The lecture was competely illustrated with experiments. MT Bumstead showed how electrical waves like waves of light may be reflected and measured In order to do this he had an appara- tus, consisting of two parobolic mir TOTS, in front of one of which the cleo tric waves were generated, These waves passing through the air were fo- cused in the other mirror and were conducted thence to an apparatus where two pieces of gold foil were made to vibrate, thus proving the existence of the waves. It was also shown how these waves may be, refracted by sub stances corresponding to opaque sub stances, which refract waves of light. To show this metal plates were placed between the two parobolic mirrors and when this was done no vibration of the gold foil was observed, the waves hay ing been stopped in their transit The same effect was produced when Mr. Bumstead stood between the mirrors, while when a door was placed between the two the waves were not interfered with in the least. The waves were also reflected from their course in passing from the mirror in front of which they were produced to one side, where the second parobOlic mirror had been placed and the same effect was observable on the gold foil.
 The lecture as whole was intensely interesting, MT. Bumstead handling his subject with great success.
 The next lecture in the course will be given Friday evening next by Professor A. T. Hadley. The subject will be "The Use and Misuse of Statistics"

MANY PETITIONS FOR sEWERs.
Tenth Warders Object to Sewer in Els
 worth Avenue.


 The Tenth ward engine house, like Banquo's ghost, will not down and the fire commissioners have now a fight on their hands to construct a sewer in Ellsworth avenue, between EdgeWood avenue and Stanley street. The matter was up before the committee on sewers last evening and was violently opposed by number of the Tenth ward citi- zens under the leadership of Alderman Chillingworth, assisted by eX-Judge Pickett
 Commissioner Sanborn, on behalf Of the fire department, urged the neces- sity of the establishment of g. sewer as petitioned for. The remonstrants ad- mitted the necessity of the engine house, but could not think that the city wished to put upon them a sewer as- sessment, which would be a burden.
 The committee in executive session voted to recommend the sewer. The following petitions were also granted: For sewer in Haven street, between Grand avenue and Exchange street; for sewer in Bond street, between Congress avenue and Columbus avenue; for sewer between Edgar and Liberty streets on Spring street and on Liberty street, between Spring and Putnam streets.
 The communication of the board of public works recommending the con- struction of sewers in River and South Front streets, between Grand avenue and Poplar street, was opposed by N. A. Ludington, Daniel Chipman, George M Baldwin, M. B. Hemingway of the Adamant company and F. M. Wood- ward
 The remonstrants were unanimous in the opinion that no sewer was needed and that if a, sewer was placed in either of these streets it would be overfloWed two times every day.
 The communication was tabled in ex- ecutive session.
 Sarah B. Bassett. ct al, petitionng for recision of an order of the board of public works for sewer in Shelton avenue, from Starr street to city line, and Newhall streets, connecting with the present system, were given leave to withdraw and the board of public works was instructed to proceed with the work.
 The petition of Nathan Golden, ct al, for a sewer in Scranton street, be- tween Day and Orchard streets, and that of George l.. Burton, ct al, for a sewer in Platt street, between Edge wood avenue and Elm street, were tabled.

 Want to Use Public Property.
 Town Counsel Goodhart last evening called the attention of the selectmen to the bill now before the general as- sembly which, if enacted, willscause the taxes arising from street railways to be paid into the treasury of the town and not the state, as is done at the present time. He did not think that the bill would be enacted this year be- cause of the condition of the states finances.
 Mr. Goodhart spoke in favor of the bill yesterday in Hartford before the finance committee.
 Another matter MT. Goodhart called the attention of the board to was a bill giving the electric companies, tele- phone, light and telegraph, the right to attach wires to electric light poles and the lamp-posts owned by cities and towns.
 In the matter of the proposed exten- sion of East Grand avenue, from Quin- nipiac street to the country road on Fair Haven Heights, Selectman Bald win suggested that some agreement IlllSHI UC llIduc WIlA CCI ldll pIOpCIIy owners regarding benefits and dam ages.
 Selectman Ludington said the matter had been under consideration for four- teen years, and he would like to see the matter settled. There is an appro- priation of $4,000 for grading and ex- tending the street across the old Shore Line railroad crossing and for grading the hill.
 Town Counsel Goodhart spoke of the petition of the New Haven and Vest vile Railway company to build a rail- road ill Westville from Blake and Fitch streets to Springside home. The New Haven Street Railway company also wished to build from Main street west erly to the Pond Lily pond. These com panies wished an extension of time for building these lines. He did favor ex- tending the time until 1901.
 The layout of Willard street ill Vest vile was considered, and the formal layout was signed by the members of the board.
 It was voted to harden Barnett and Willow streets in Westville.
 There was a discussion concerning the proposed improvements to the city hall, to be made jointly with the city. The matter was then left with the committee with power to act The con- mittee consists of Messrs. Sucher, Kin ney and Ludington. It was reported that the job would cost $3.O00, to be di- vided between town and city. This would include a new elevator and til- ing on the first floor.

Candidates Discussed-Clancey's Chal-
 lenge.
 The police commissioners were in ex- ecutive session last evening for about an hour. and the much speculated up- on question of a successor to Supt. Smith was TO nearer settled at the close of their deliberations than when the latch fell and locked the members be- hind closed doors.
 Would you mind saying whether you discussed candidates?' was asked of the commissioners.
 Yes. We talked about candidates We discussed the possibilities Colonel Frank T. Lee, Commissioner Doolit- tie and ex-Judge Callahan were talked of"
 "Rut I thought Callahan was out of the racer" was Suggested by the 1e- Iorter.
 Not much" was the reply, by a dem ocrat.
 He turned to one of his republican colleagues for a verificatien of his statement, and it was ready.
 There is no possibility of electing 9 superintendent but if there were it looks as if the ex-judge's chances were as good as any one of the candidates.
 During the discussion in executive session Commissioner Clancey said to the republicans: You fellows would not vote for any democrat, Why you would not vote for Moran"
 "Oh, yes we would" said one of the republicans.
 Then Commissioner Clancy wanted to nominate MT. Moran, but an ad- journment was had

CoNGREsSMA RUSSELL ExphdINs
Informs His Colleagues of Changes in
 Various Schedules in New Tariff Bill.


 Washington, March 16.--It was de- cided at the afternoon meeting of the ways and means committee that an adjournment should be taken from this evening until 10 o'clock Thursday morn ing. The purpose of this was to per init the democratic members to study the bill and to prepare the amendments which they propose offering when the committee reassembles. The minority will tomorrow afternoon meet at the capitol and decide upon the line of pol icy to be pursued by them, both in committee and in the house, It is still undecided whether the bill shall be re- ported Thursday, but the democratic members believe this to be the inten- tion of the majority.
 The understanding is that if the bill be reported Thursday it will be at once taFen up for consideration without waiting for the democratic minority re- rort Some of the republican members think two weeks should suffice for de- batting the measure in the house.
 MT Russell of Connecticut was ques- toned as to the various paragraphs constituting the cotton schedule. He said that this schedule did not differ materially from the present law, except that specific rates had been substituted for ad valorem. Hose. underwear, com bination suits, corset covers, etc, were reduced 20 per cent below the McKin- ley rate. In no case, he maintained, were the rates in the new bill so excess sive as in the law of 1890. The sched- ule relating to flax and jute was dis cussed by paragraphs and the inquiries of the democrats were answered by MT. Payne of New York. This schedule, he said contained practically the Mckin- ley rates. In reply to a query why cot ton bagging. now on the free list, had been restored to the dutiable list at one-half a cent a square yard and fif- teen per centum ad valorem, he stated that the additional revenue was need ed, and that the duty would not ma erially affect the price of the product,
 MT. Russell was next called upon to explain the silk and paper schedules, which he did in extenso, the latter schedule, he said differing little, if any, from the present law.

Brockton Shoe Firm SummariIy Dis

 charges 250 Employes.
 Brockton, Mass, March 16.-The firm of Whitman & Keith of this city shut down it's shoe factory a 3:30 this after noon and summarily discharged it's 250 employees. For some days rumors of an intended strike in the factory have been rife, caused by trouble over the price paid for lasting on Copeland ma chimes. The firm is making about fifty cases of summer line of mems color ed goods, mostly "Vici" kid, Goodyear welts. and there has been much dis satisfaction among the lasters regard ing the prices paid The union claims that the shoes are hard to last on this grade.
 Several conferences have been held between Secretary Williams of the las ters' branch of the Boot and Shoe Workers union and the firm, but no agreement was reached. As a result, the firm expecting a strike took the in itiative and locked out all it's help Mr William Whitman, senior member of the firm, refused to be interviewed to- night regarding the cause of the action taken by the firm, but subsequently, stated that the firm had concluded to run it's own affairs without dictation, or go out of business. Mir. Williams declined to make a formal statement, but said the conditions were the same as had existed for two years
 The success of Charles A Eaton & Co.,. who a few weeks ago locked out it's help and started free shop, is thought to have inspired Whitman & Keith to adopt the same method.

 The whole garrison of Athens and nearly all the reserves have started for the frontier.
 The departure during the night of 8 number of troops for Volo, Thessaly, was undoubtedly owing to the govern

 l Athens, March 16--A prolonged meet ing of the cabinet was held to-day The ministers discussed at great length the 1 attitude to be taken in the event of the powers attempting to coerce Greece | into compliance with their demands. | It is stated that no disposition was shown to accede to the demands, and I that it was finally decided to take ac- tive measures as the only possible solu- tion of the difficulty. It is thought by active measures is meant declaration
 of war against Turkey, which would
 give Greece the right to maintain her
 army in Crete and deprive the powers of any right of interference. | London, March 16.-Some doubt ex- 1 ists here as to whether or not the blockade of Crete has actually com-
 menced, notwithstanding the statement
 of Prime Minister Salisbury in the
 house of lords that orders had been
 given to put the blockade into opera
 tion at once The special dispatches
 sent from Canea to-day make no men, l tion of the ports having been closed l by the warships of the powers. | A dispatch from Canea to news

 have not yet proclaimed the blockade. The statement from Vienna saying
 that the blockade began to-day was re- affirmed this evening, but as 1t is not
 official it is likely that it is prema- ture.
