DRIFTING into RUIN.
The Extraordinary Situation In
Spain.
NO ENTHUSIASM BUT MUCH VANITY
Sort Of FataIism About the Attitude OF
the PeopIe-All Want Peace But
No Ono Darss to Suggest It.

Madrid. - In Madrid, or, rather,
Spain, the situation is extraordinary.
Not a soul can do more than guess
vaguely about what is going to happen.
The Spaniards would welcome any
peace that left them their colonies, but
they are people who do not reason, and
therefore it is impossible 10 get from
them any idea as TO how such result
could be possible. More than one
statesman declares that the country Is
going headlong TO ruin. Its financial
condition daily gets worse and the Gov
eminent is divided upon the point OF
how TO raise money. All means sug-
gested are unpopular. Each one men
toned is stated as likely TO cause a
revolution.
At the same time there is sort oil
fatalism about the attitude OF the peo'
pie. They seem TO care but little
whether victory or defeat comes. There
is absolutely no public enthusiasm,
but there is much vanity. Every one
wants peace but none has the courage
TO propose it. The papers are at last
realizing the truth of the particulars
given in a recent issue Of the Herald
in which the perilous state OF spain''
internal affairs was pointed out, and
suggestions made about a possible
peace. So far, however, the only one
that has dared speak outright is, solid

Ottawa, Ont. sent ont

Lieutenant Carranza, the alleged Span

thought in official circles, after care
full examination of the laws, that the
Crown has not the right to expel them.
The power is reserved to Parliament,
which brings it into place by special
act.
In Great Britain since 1843 it has
been heard that, in the absence of par
liamentary authority, the power of ex-
pulsion does not exist. If the two Span
iards have employed persons in Canada
to act as spies in the United States,
they have violated the foreign enlist
ment act and are liable to prosecution
under it. The Government may inti-
mate to them that if they remain they
will be prosecuted, and if they choose
to leave no action will be taken. But
the accused may elect, if they so
choose, to remain and answer the
charge brought against them in the
courts.

printing many congratulations upon
the signing of the Anglo-Chinese con-
vention, which gives Great Britain an
extension of the boundaries of Hong
kong, including Kan Tung, of altogether
200 square miles under lease to
which the greatest Importance is at

When questioned in the House of

ing, without the consent Of China,
would be an act of war and, he added,
the Government would take the re-
quisite steps to protect the British in
terests. Obviously this is intended as
a warning to Russia not to interfere in
the Yang-tse-kiang Valley.

Though the frosts damaged portion
of the oranges in southern California,
the crop of the season drawing to
close will amount to considerably more
than $4,000 carloads. Conservative
people, who have given some study to
the question, believe that if the crop of
next season is not damaged by frost
it should amount to 20, 900 carloads, or
over 100 carloads day for six months
in the year.

gradual destruction Of the arsenal was

When Consul Williams landed in
Cavite he had most enthusiastic re-
ception. The place was crowded with
Philippines who made the welkin ring
with their cries of viva los Ameri-
canos," as he made his way through
the long lines Of people. Men, women
and children struggled to shake him by
the hand, and the British Consul, Mr.
Rawson- Walker, who was with him,
said he had never before witnessed such
display of friendship.
No Information can be obtained with
reference TO the re-establishment of
communication between Hongkong and
Manila. The cable is, of course, neu-
trail enterprise, and therefore the com.
pany owning it cannot repair it for the
exclusive use of one of the combatants
only. Admiral Dewey declines to sane
ton its use by the Spanish Government
and thus deadlock is set up.

uReso TO HOLD PHILIPPINES.
London Merchants Present Their Views
10 ambassador Hay.


New York.-Mail adyices from Lon
don say: Whatever may be the policy
of the United States toward the Philip
pine islands, the English capitalists
whose investments give them the right
10 speak upon the conditions and needs
Of the islands, are Of one mind. Dele
cations Of London men representing
some Of the most important interests
in the Philippine have called upon EN-
bassador Hay TO urge him to make re-
presentations TO his Government Of
their desire that the United States re-
tain permanent possession Of the
Philippines.
They are agreed in the belief that
with the guarantee of a stable govern
ment the Philippines would become a
richer and even more desirable posses
sion than they now are. They are
agreed also that the Spanish rule is
one which discourages business enter
prises and repels capital, and that the
legitimate profits Of their business are
mostly absorbed by direct and indirect
brides to Spanish officials. Without
| liberal investments to secure the favor
Of the ruling class these gentlemen tell
the ambassador that no business oper-
ations can be conducted under the re-
gime of Spain.
The position Of the Philippine CAPT
talists is one which prevents them from
making a public declaration of their
views. Should the islands remain
under Spanish sovereignty that Gov
eminent might make conditions bur-
densome for business men who were on
record as desiring change and who had
made revelations about Spanish mis-
rule. They can make known their de-
sires only through secret diplomatic
channels, as they have done. Careful
investigation by the most efficient en-
gineers had proved that the gold de-
posits of the Philippines were among
the richest in the world and under con-
ditions favorable to the development
it is sure that the islands would surpass
Australia and South Africa as gold
country.

in addition to a good advantage. Care
must be taken to feed regularly, to give
all that is eaten up clean readily, to see
that the feed is sound, clean, free from
dust or must. Very few horses VIII
require exactly the same ration, and
the most economical feeding Is that
which supplies the individual wants OF
each animal most fully. Horses ought
to be watered well before feeding, so
that they will drink very little imme-
diately after, as the drinking Of much
water after eating tends to carry the
food into the Intestines before it is
properly digested. Another is that to
secure a proper digestion certain
amount of heat is necessary, and the
drinking of any considerable quantity
Of water is certain to lower the temper
AZURE of the stomach and, in measure
at least, retard digestion. A horse
should not be given too much water or
food when either very warm or very
tired. Better take the trouble to water
or feed twice rather than run the risk
of injury.
Groom regularly and offer an oppor-
tunity to roll. 1t may make little
more work to allow horse the privi-
lege of rolling every day, but 1t is work
we'll invested. Make comfortable and
keep thrifty and the horses will be bet
ter able to respond to the demands
made upon them.

Wheat and Beets.

European experience shows that
wheat yields always increase after a
crop of beets; consequently, upon gen.
eral principles, beet cultivation, either
before or after crop of wheat, offers
advantages 1t does not necessarily fol-
low that the time to introduce beets on
farm is when wheat is selling high or
low; it should be done at any and all
times allowance being made for a GER
tain rotation), when the demand for
the roots exists at a factory. These
facts are mentioned simply to answer
several remarks made by correspond
ents who urge that farmers should avail
themselves of agricultural depressions
for the introduction of new crop. The
demand for the supply must exist,
otherwise the crop cannot be disposed
Of. Beets, when contracted for in adj
vance, enable the farmer to live under
conditions of repose of mind that
cereals never allow, and gives all the
advantages that crops in general Offer
and none of the disadvantages THE

1t has taught us the absolute neces.
sity of complete and thorough organi.

and the inefectiveness of obsolete guns
against the range and accuracy Of
modern weapons.

The first part of the Tenth Annual
Report of the Storrs Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station of Connecticut con-
tains very valuable "Study of Rations
Fed to Mich Cows" This gives full
report upon series of forty-five tests
with thirty-two distinct herds of COWS
during the period between 1898 and
1897.
1t was found in these tests that the
cost of producing milk and butter de-
pended largely upon the kind of cows,
and their condition as regards time
from calving, and the kind of ration
fed. Many of the individual COWS
tested were not returning the cost of
feed. Cows calving in the fall were
found to be the most profitable. A
conclusion reached was that one of the
first things dairyman should do is to
make close study of the individual
animals in order to reject the unprofit-
able ones.
In the tests made the cost of rations
depended largely upon the proportion
of the cheaper coarse folders, like corn
silage, corn slower, clover hay, oat hay
and second quality mixed hay, which
went to make up the total coarse
folders of the ration. The better
grades of hay, such as timothy and
red-top, were among the most expensive
feeding stuffs used. When good hay
sells at fourteen to eighteen dollars pei
ton it is generally more profitable t.
sell it than to feed it to dairy COWS.
A liberal proportion of nitrogenoui
grain feeds-linseed meal, gluten meal
wheat bran, etc., tended to lessen thu
cost of the ration in the majority Of
cases, while the net cost was greatl,
reduced by their use. The nitrogen
GUS feeding stuffs, like rowen hay
clover, oats and peas, linseed anC
gluten meals, should be more largel,
used in feeding dairy stock.
The legumes, such as clovers, peas
soy beans land vetchesl should be NOR
largely grown and used in makin
up feeding rations. The larger the pro
portion of these heterogeneous coarse feed
used in the ration, the less will be til
quantity of the concentrated nitrogen
GUS grain feeds which need to be pun
chased and used.
