Washington. -Chairman Dingley of
the Ways and Means Committee has

internal revenue law. 1t directs every
person or concern liable to any internal
revenue tax, or having articles taxable,

nal Revenue may also require state
ments under oath where exemption is
claimed on ground of any limitation.

CHRISTINA READY TO AsolcA1E.
SPANS Queen Regent Was Persuaded
10 Delay Retirement.

Madrid.-The news concerning the
abdicatiOD Of the Queen Regent Of
Spain, which was given by the Temps
without details, has been very half
heartedly denied in the Madrid press.
The Queen Regent, much depressed
by the sad condition Of the country
and the Spanish peoples lack Of sym
pathy for her, made up her mind a
fortnight ago TO renounce her rights
and title as regent in favor Of the In
fanta Isabella, sister Of the late King
Alfonso XII. This Princess, who il
Spanish in heart and mind, is much
beloved throughout the kingdom. The
Queen Regent thought that by yielding
the regency to her she would disarm
the adversaries Of the existing regime
and rally all the sympathies around
the little King. She even formed the
resolution Of quitting Spain for time
after her abdication with her two
daughters, leaving the young sovereign
TO reign and the new regent.
She summoned Premier Sagasta and
eloquently laid her plan before him.
A ministerial council was held, after
which all the members visited the
Queen Regent to beg her to give up
the scheme for the present. They
told her that under the present cir
cumstances her abdication would seem
like flight and would be very badly
construed by the country.
Premier Sagasta was so persuasive
that he obtained the following reply
from the Queen Regent
L admit you are right, sir; but / do
not altogether give up my plan. |
only postpone it. "
] have also been informed of very
significant fact General Sachs, the
young Kings military tutor, who occu-
pies apartments in the palace, has also
private apartments in the Gale del Caiz.
These apartments have been shut up
for two years and half, but recently
upholsterers were at work making the
place habitabe. Neighbors conclude
from this that the Kings tutor is about
to leave the palace and resume posses
sion Of his private apartments and see
in the incident the prelude to radical
changes at the royal palace.
What is going on or what will hap
pen is what every one anxiously asks,
especially as the Republicans and
Carlists are beginning to bestir them
selves in a way which is very disquiet-
ing for the future Of Alfonzo's crown.

Butter-Makiug OF the Farm.

The creamery which makes a sus-
cess keeps one sole object in view to-
ward which all of it's detail work con-
verges, viz, the production of stand
ard first-class butter. Private dairies
conducted on this principle are the
ones which succeed. AS general rule
there is slight prejudice in favor of
dairy butter. But to insure permanent
recognition at the best prices, dairy
butter must have manufactured quail
ity as perfect as the creamery article.
Creameries have established a de-
served reputation for tirst-class manu-
featured butter, because of their strict
adherence to the best known princi-
pies of butter making, Many dairy
farmers are trying to run domestic
butter making as side issue, and Civ
ing it slight attention when it should
have the skill, thought and practice
that its importance demands. OF those
who know theoretically how to make
good butter, many fail in the practical
application.

&fORTO RICO.


Nashington.-The War Department
Expects to utilize approximately thirty
1--WE transports in the expedition for the
invasion of Porto Rico. This statement
was made oficialiy at the department.
Il seems to indicate that the Porto
Ricah army will equal, If not exceed,
in number that which left Tor Santiago.
The estimate is made that the thirty
five vessels will carry between $4,000
and 20, 600 men, with their equipments
and subsistence.
Army officials say that reports which
have been received from reliable sources
show that the number of Spanish sol
diers in that country is only 10, 900
lnen, although other statements indi-
cate that there is considerably less
than that number. II Is fair to as
sumo, they say, that when the United
States Amry commences active opera
tions against the city of San Juan every
available man in that place will be inn
pressed into military service and given
a gun. Hence they feel that the army
Of invasion should be of such proper
tions as TO leave no doubt of its ability
and capacity to cope successfully with
the enemy. 1t is stated positively that
the embarkation point for the troops
for Porto Rico has not been finally de-
termined yet, and until Secretary Alger
and the President have had an oppor-
tunity to confer with General Miles, il
will not be fixed.
For the purposes of the Porto Rican
expedition, Secretary Meiklejohn said
that the department had now available
eleven transports, some of which are
already at Southern ports, and these
will carry about 5000 men, with their
equipments. Negotiations for the
chartering of other steamers are in
progress, seventy-fiye vessels having

conjectures in the press and political
circles in Spain which are being built
on the supposed intention of Germany
to abandon her neutrality in the Philip

Our Cattle May Now Enter.

Denver.-A special to the Republic
can from Santa Fe, N. NJ, says: A
proclamation has been issued by the
Governor which annuls that of the
former Governor prohibiting California
cattle from coming into the Territory.
1t is now provided that such cattle be
allowed to enter or pass through on
permit from the United States Bureau
of Animal Industry, stipulating that all
stock must be perfectly healthy and
free from Texas fever. Provision is
also made that the cattle shall be sub
ject to all regulations of the Territorial
Cattle Sanitary Board.

SOLDIERS SMALL CHANGE.
UncIe Sam Breaks n Manipulating
Record for the Boys.

San Francisco. The United States
Mint at this place is breaking all sorts
of records as it is widening up another
fiscal year, and one OF its recent feais
is result Of the war. Uncle Sans
paymasters, through whose hands mill
lions OF dollars will reach the boys in
blue, want a large amount of small
change. The revival Of business has
caused such . constant demand for
subsidiary silver for months that the
United States Treasury has been kept
pretty well drained of it, though the
minis have been keeping large stream
Of new pieces going out.
When the paymasters came along
with their huge demands il was neces-
sary TO make money right away on the
big scale that attends the hustling for
other supplies. So little over two
weeks ago superintendent +. A. Leach
here got orders from the Director Of the
Mint to coin at once $375,0)0 worth
of the smaller silver coins. The job
was begun June and is now completed.
The value is not so great, but nothing
like it was ever done at the Mint with
small silver before. The pieces struck
numbered $50, 900 and were halves,
quarters and dimes. The needs of pay
masters have also changed the gold
coinage. Since June | the 81, 653, 500
OF gold coined has been mainly 50 and
$40 pieces instead of double eagles, as
is the rule.
The year just closing will be the
greatest one in the history Of the
MINIS. The coinage to June 30 will be
over $47 900, 900 in gold besides sew
eral millions in silver. The greatest
preceding record was that of lS77-7S,
when the coinage was over 500, 900,
600, of which $40, 900, 900 was in gold.
This record is now exceeded with half
the working force then employed and
with but eleven months of operation
during the year. This immense gold
coinage is due to general increase OF
supply from all sources, principally ia
the importations of gold at this port,
mainly of foreign coin. Since August
last $25, 900, 900, mostly in British
sovereigns from Australia, have gone
into Uncle Sans melting pots here.
J II is interesting TO note that during the
last three months $1,000, 900 worth of
Japanese yen have likewise been re-

Green Feed for Hogs.

The pig thrives on green food. 1t is,
in fact, its natural diet, for in wild
state i: rarely comes across unlimited
grain. Even when it finds patch of
wild rice it has to extract the grain
from the ear, and this is a slow pro-
cess, which, however, rarely presents
itself. Grass is seldom consumed with
better chance OF profit than when
eaten by in-pig sows, while all pigs
keep in better health when it forms
part of the diet. Pastures are far too
rarely utilized for pig growing. -Coun.

The general chemical composition OF
a soil may be learned from the minerals
OF which it was formed and from the
spontaneous vegetation which natural
ly grows upon it, according to II. c.
White of the Georgia station in Rulle-
tin %. The ashes of such hardwood
trees as oak and hickory contain much
potash and considerable phosphoric
acid, and these trees will grow spon-
taneously only upon soils rich in potash
and fairly well supplied with phos-
plate. Growing naturally upon lime
stone soils are the cedars and certain
grasses whose ashes contain much lime
The pine grows naturally upon sandy
or rocky soil, as 1t contains but little
ash and takes but little food from the
soil particles.
The frequent spontaneous growth of
pine upon old cultivated fields, which
We're once covered with hardwood
trees, indicates that the soil originally
contained enough available phosphoric
acid and potash compounds to support
dense growth of hardwood timber.
The growth of these trees, however,
when followed by a period of exhaustive
cropping, robbed the soil of its avail
able mineral food, and the subsequent
volunteer growth is therefore of pine
and other vegetation, needing but little
mineral food. During the growth OF
the pine the articles of soil undergo ad.
ditional weathering and decomposition,
thus setting free in the soil fresh
store of available mineral food foi
plants. Cutting off the pine, there
fore, generally allows spontaneous
growth of oak and hickory. Prairie
plants serve as an index to prairie
soils, while hard water indicates {

A Good Egg Producer.

With many years of experience and
careful study have discovered by feed
ing suntiower seed to poultry it almost
doubled their laying qualities, says a
writer in Poultry Topics.
l prefer the new mammoth Russian
suntiower seed, which is much larger
seed, and contains more egg-forming
material than the common sunhower.
For several years l have experimental
with it on our Light Brahmas, and
found that by feeding it the Brahmas
layed equally as well as the Leghorns
or any of the other smaller breeds. 1t
much improves them in size ii fed to
chicks while growing.
1t can be grown much more cheaply
than any other grain with much less
labor, and it will grow in any climate
and on any soil. The fanciers and
farmers should not overlook this OF
anything else pertaining to their
poultry, as they bring more money
according to capital than anything also
on the farm. Ii your poultry is kept up
we'll, new blood added each year, the
mites and lice kept out, fowls protected
from sudden changes OF weather, and
more care taken as to what you feed
them, you will find on years income
your poultry is the best payer on the
farm; while it is just the opposite
with those farmers giving it no care
whatever, saying it wont pay to build
poultry house or get any new blood,
as there is not enough money in poul-
try. Sure, not under such conditions,
fowls will not lay many eggs nor weigh
much when sold at market. Take my
advice and try it for one year, keeping
an account of what you make on your
poultry Ii nroner care Is oiven.
