GALL|NGER'S
POWERFUL WORDS
He Tells the Senate of Cuba,s
Awful Misery
SOME OF HIS AUDITORS WEpT

Washington, March 23-A most
impressive speech on the condition
of Cuba was delivered by Senator
Gallinger of New Hampshire to-
day. He took the floor at 1890.
When he ceased speaking the
silence was broken only by the
weeping of the men and women
who occupied every available inch
of space within hearing.
Mr.. Gallinger was more out
spoken in his condemnation of
Spanish methods than was Sena-
tor Proctor. His picture of the
starvation and desolation in Cuba
was appalling. He said that
Weyler, because of his cruelties.
had been driven from Cuba by the
force of American public opinion.
War did exist in Cuba, he said,
but not the kind of war waged by
Grant and Lee, by Sherman and
jackson.
In Cuba it was a war of starva-
ton and determination more cruel
than the world has ever known
before, worse than that of the
Kurds against the Armenians. Its
horrible conditions existed oven in
Havana under the shadow of the
churches.
The senator quoted Miss Clara
Barton as to the Cubans sufferings
being worse than she had witness
sed in Armenia or India.
At Los Socus, in an old build
ing he had seen $40 people crowd
ed together, many of them entire
ly nude. AT Matanzas the railroad
station was crowded with helpless
wretches driven from their homes
to beg. The appeals of the naked
emaciated children were heart
rending. Weyler had devised
scheme that put Dante's Inferno
in the shade. at Santa Cruz
every dog in the town had been
eaten. The full number of the
starved people will never beknown
but it was estimated that $4,000
had been driven from their homes.
The Red Cross society had stated
that 5000 had died of starvation
since this war of determination be-
gan.
In stirring language the senator
pictured this land so miles from
our shores, and this great nation
practically folding it's arms and
saying: 'Am | my brothers
keeper?"
If Spain is doing anything to
relieve the suffering, he saw moth
ing of it. The Cubans' only hope
was in the United States.
1t might be asked, what of the
Maine? He did not know about
that. But he would say that
government that would deliberately
starve its own people to death
would do anything. Human life
purposely taken could not be
measured in gold or silver 1t is
not question of arbitration but of
the inviolable dignity of the gov
ernment.
Another point of the speech was
that little real loyalty to Spain ex-
lists in Cuba. The insurgents have
sympathizers everywhere and the
senator does not believe that Spain
can subdue them. He pointed out
the enormous cost already to Spain
IN men and treasure and the ap-
proach of the rainy season, he said
must reduce the Spanish ranks to
a fearful extent.
No one in this county desires
war with Spain, he'isaid, but :our
people have come to the conclu-
sion that Spain must retire from
cuba. In the name of common

Electric Railway "CapitaIisfs" In
Serious Trouble
ACCUSED OF A BUNCO GAME

Canon City is considerably per-
turbed today. Just as the skepti-
cal were becoming convinced that
the electric railway to Cripple
Creek would be surely completed,
after the expenditure of a consid-
erable amount of cash by local
capitalists and the Investment of
smaller sums by several citizens
who are not capitalists, a setback
OF alarming significance has oc-
Cured. In fact, Canon City is in
clined to fear that number of
her leading men, her newspapers
and her banks have been buncoed
by variety of the old gold brick
or sawdust game.
j. B. Crosby, the original pro
moter of the electric road, is under
stood to have introduced the Canon
City men to Louis Enricht. Of
Chicago, and Paul Il, Hirsch, OF
Paris. Glowing expectations were
entertained of the results of this
introduction. But they are de
cidedly dampened today.
Louis Enricht and Paul E.
Hirsch were arrested yesterday at

against them are some of the prin-

Adams and Sheriff Hawkins wired

sheriff of Arapahoc county, who
promptly complied with it. Both
men were taken TO Canon City on
asst evenings train, Sheriff Hawk

They explained, according to a
Denver News interview, that they
had expected to place the bonds
Of the railway ON Wall Street but
that the war scare had hindered
them. They were entirely limo
cent of any wrong doing, they
said and they intimated that some
one else wanted to build the road
and was trying to freeze them out.
Lyman Robson, r. S. Lewis

interested in the railway refused
10 say word about the arrests.

What cbanIs Good For.

All kinds of grain have ohaff sur
rounding the kernels. In its wild
state this chaff serves very impor-
tant use, as it absorbs the moisture
that would otherwise swell the grain
and cause its premature generation.
After long cultivation this use seems
less necessary and there is less pro-
fusion of chaff and husk. Ills quite
possible that all our Indian corn orig
inally came from that curious wild
variety in which each grain on the
eur had its separate husk. Wherever
there are severe droughts during the
time the grain is forming there will
be less development of chaff and.husk.
With our self-binding grain harvest
ers, grain is now often put into stack
or NOW before it has dried out as 1t
should do. The husk in suoh case
serves an important use, as the straw
will often rot under the band where it
is tightly compressed, while the head
with still damper grain is preserved
from injury by the loose chaff with
which it is surrounded, and. which
very rapidly dries not only itself but
the grain in contact with 1t. Barley,
which is most apt to be injured by
rains, has better supply OF chaff and
ewns to keep its head open to Dir than
has any other grain.

Late Cultivation of Corn.

When growing corn we always found
that there was advantage in running
the cultivator through between the
rows up to- the time that ears began to
form. Then the cultivation was dis
continued because the horse passing
between the rows would be apt to
break off or injure the ears standing
out from the hills. But we always
cultivated very shallow, merely stir
ring the surface soil and doing the
work 80 often that there was no chance
for large weeds to grow up. The idea
that late cultivation is injurious to
corn comes from neglecting it early,
and allowing large weeds to grow
which take all the moisture from the
soil. Then the cultivator hos to be
run deep, so as to uproot these large
weeds. This cuts the corn roots, and
as the soil is then generally drained
clear of moisture, the corn Is sure to
suffer. We CON cultivate potatoes
nearly up to the time Of harvest if the
tops have not grown large enough to
cover the spaces between the rows.
If they have, the potato tops will keep
the weeds down, and surface cultiva-
tion to do this is not necessary
