London Mail Declares That the Signal

May be Given Any Day.
LONDON, Oct. 3.-The Daily Mail, in
its special article on the Spanish sit
uation, says: ''The symptoms of
Carlist agitation are every day becom-
ing more manifest and attracting the
attention of the Spanish government.
Carlist emissaries are visiting the
provinces of Navarro and Castellon,
where the party has its strongest
supporters. There is the best reason
for believing that the signal for rising
will soon be given. The revolt will
probably occur in Navarro or Castellon,
and the population of the Bashue
provinces is also ready to rise. The
Carlist press has changed its tone and
now hints that Don Carlos may inter-
vene. At the same time, it is asserted
that Carlist company has entered
into contract with the republic OF
Andorra, under which the company is
granted the privilege of manufacture
ing arms and explosives within the
territory of the republic.

hands of Sheriff James Martin aud his
deputies, and in this we, the jury, do.

was wanton and unjustitiable, but in
this we, George Nlaue and f. j. Mac

Secretary Wilson Has Plans to Dis
seminate Facts.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l.-Secretary Will
son, of the agricultural department,
will in his annual report ask congress
to make material increase in the
appropriation for at least three
branches of his department. bureau of
animal industry, farmers bulletins
and weather bureau. The secretary
says the facilities of the bureau of
animal industry for the inspection of
meat intended for foreign shipment is
overtaxed: that the experiment already
made by the bureau in the shipment
of butter to England should be fol-
lowed up by more work in this line.
He claims that the shipments already
made produced excellent results, as
shown by the fact that representatives
of English firms have recently been in
Iowa buying up all the available but
ter supply for export. There is n con-
stantly increasing demand for farmers
bulletins, and it is the secrctary's
purpose, if he secures the necessary
funds, not only to increase the circu-
lation of documents. but to largely
increase the range of subjects covered.
Mr.. Wilson is of the opinion that
weather forecast work can, with an
increase of money, be made more
