NEW FORAGE PLANT.
Experiments to be Made in Semi
Arid Regions of the West.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 24.-The Agri-
cultural Department is preparing to
make an experiment with a new forage
plant which is thought to be adapted to
the semi-arid regions of the West. 1t is
the bromus inermis, a grass indigenous
to the Russian SteDDes. Orders for one
or two tons of the seed for plant have
been wired to Moscow in response to a
telegram from Professor Hanson, the
department. agent, that he could Sc
cure this quantity by taking it imme-
diately.
The grass is to thrive in lands which
are too dry for the ordinary forage
| plants. 1t is a tall, nutritious plant
and it is hoped will prove to be adapted
to the plains along the bases of the
Rocky Mountains.
| Professor Hanson, through whom this
order has been placed, is a resident of
South Dakota. He is making a special
investigation of grasses and other for
age vegetation of Siberia for the depart
ment with a view of securing plants
adapted to the soil and climate of the
plains region, and this order is the first
fruit of his labor.
The dispatching of Professor Hanson
on this mission has had the effect ap-
parently of creating the impression that
the department is making especial in
quiry into the agricultural possibilities
of the country which will be traversed
| by the new Siberian railroad with the
view of determining beforehand the
probable increase and character of
competition the American farmer will
have to encounter from that quarter.

SPANS NEW PREMIER.
Confident of Peaceful Relations
With the United States.

SAN SEBASTIAN, Aug. 24.-General
Azcarraga, the new Premier, desires to
continue the policy Of his predecessor,
Senior Canovas del Castillo, as far as
possible, and does not apprehend any
complications. He is confident that the
United States will preserve it's present
attitude of cordial friendship, and will
not insist upon mediation.
Spain would not refuse to submit to a
commission the settlement of claims Of
American citizens in Cuba, on the I'M
derstanding that only the damage suf-
fered at the hands of her forces and
authorities were to be the subject of
examination, and reserving all her
counter claims arising from filibuster-
ing.
Should Minister Woodford be in
structed to demand autonomy Spain
would reply that autonomy would have
been granted long ago had the Cubans
ceased to receive from the United
States the moral and material assist
ance enabling them to prolong the
struggle, and had they ceased to de-
mand absolute independence

HYPNOTIC EXHIBITIONS.
CHICAGO POLICE TRY TO PUT
A STOP TO THEM.
Find a Boy Under the Influence
Who Could Not be Awakened
Except by the Professor.

CHICAGO, Aug. 24-The Chicago po-
lice force has pitted it's strength against
the power of hypnotism and the result
may be termed a draw. Chief Ripley
and his men, acting, as they said, in the
interests of humanity, sought to pre-
vent an exhibition of a seven days hyp-
motto sleep given at a North Side hall,
and succeeded, but not until they had
called upon the Professor to release
the subject from his mesmeric inf1u-
ence.
The subject was Samuel Burg,
young Danish barber. Burg was put to
sleep Sunday afternoon with the regu-
lation passes, and it was announced
that he would sleep seven days and
nights.
Chief Ripley sent two detectives to
make a report on the exhibition. The
sleuths found young Burg asleep in the
presence of a crowd, which included
several physicians, who explained to
the detectives that they were studying
the effect of the prolonged hypnotic
sleep. The physicians were taking the
affair seriously, and said Burg was
completely under the hypnotic influence.
The detectives were skeptical and pro-
ceeded to apply such gentle tests as
pinching the boys cheeks pulling his
ears and Juggling at his hair. But Burg
did not stir
The detectives reported to Chief Kip
! ley, who decided to stop the exhibition,
and sent a detail of officers for that pur-
pose Lieutenant Zery, who had charge
of the exhibition, gave Burg rap on
| the sole of the foot with his club, but
the usual treatment prescribed by pa
trolmen for sleepers was not at all eff
cacious in the case of the somnolent
subject. He might as well have pound
ed the wooden toes Of a cigar sign. Then
the Lieutenant proceeded to shake Burg
and pinch his ears and slap his cheeks,
but to no avail. Then he tired the trick
that was never known to fail. He thrust
his brawny thumb up under the armpit
and gave a series Of hearty pinches.
But the motionless form gave no sign
of life, and the Lieutenant's eyes bulged
and his jaw dropped.
THE Chief says this exhibition has
got to stop. I can't wake the boy up.
and you've got to or I'll arrest the
whole outfit"
Then with a few mysterious passes
and a snap of the finger the mesmerist
released the subject, and the two pro-
ceeded to. Chief Kipley's office to protest
against the interruption of their exhibit
ton
In speaking of the matter Chief Kip
ley said:
After having investigated the case,
I considered it my duty to stop the ex-
hibition for the sake of humanity. There
is no telling but that the test might
have resulted in the boys death. There
is no doubt that the boy was in genu-
inc hypnotic sleep. If the boy had died
as a result of the test I would have
been blamed for allowing the exhibition
to take place. In the future no per-
mits for exhibitions of the kind will be
granted"
