senior RobeidO Says spain Will Not Ac-
cept IL.
Madrid, June Son account of the
serious news from the Philippines, the
leaders of h minority parties in the
chamber of deputies met Senior Sagasta
to-day to consider the situation. The
premier strove to convince them OF the
gravity of existing circumstances, urg-
ing that they ought Immediately TO
adopt the budget inc to declare that
the chamber would sit in permanence.
The opposition leaders promised dur
ing the sitting of the chamber to-day to
make declarations regarding the Philip
pines of a nature that would adjourn
all debates.
Senior Silvela, leader of the conserva-
tives, who followed Senior Sagasta,
promised his support to the government
for the defense of the country, but he
warned the government that he did not
intend to be reduced to the role of a wit
ness of the country's misfortune.
Senior Romero y Robledo accused the
government of inaction, saying: '"Thir-
ty7nine days have passed without any
action being taken in regard to the de-
Tense of the Philippines. The result is
that the natives. induced by the easy
victory of the Americans, regard the
Spanish forces with contempt. If the
government now seeks a shameful peace
or foreign aid I shall protest with my
whole strength"
Senior Sagasta said: THE govern
ment is not responsible for the results
In he Philippines, nor the course Ad-
miral Cervera has AIKEN. The govern
ment must execute its plans inc must
not reveal them, which would be unpa-
triotic.'

calfskin boots. Now nobody wears
boots, except horsemen and farmers:
that is, practically nobody; you do
meet a man in the city now N then
that wears boots, but such men are
so few hat they don't count.
I'VE turned from boots to congress
CATERS, once almost universally worn.
and there's quite a lot of congress
CATERS worn still. You look along the
rows of feet of the men sitting in an
elevated car n you are pretty likely
to see one or more pairs of them, but
button shoes and lace shoes finally. in
very large measure, supplanted the
congress CATERS, and they remain the
shoes commonly worn to-day.
And W. shall stick to shoes Of one
sort and another. We shan't go back
to boots, for various reasons. In the
first place we don't need them. In cit
les they are not necessary for protec-
ton, nor are they essential to comfort.
Shoes are now more suitable for wear
at centers of population, besides being
more convenient and cheaper.

wear of the great majority of men, we
have got through with boots. 1t is

Garden in q barrel.

Out near Garfield park there lives a
family the members of which will
shortly enjoy eating strawberries
grown in what Is probably the most
original garden in all Chicago. The
hostess. a Southern woman. finds 1t
hard to believe that fruit that Is shipped
a long distance can possibly be ft for
human use. Before her marriage to a
Chicago man she had been accustomed
in her Southern home to eating freshly
picked fruit the greater part of the
ear. She lives in a fiat. but deter
mined last year that before summer
was owe she should have fresh straw
berries grown under her own eyes. Ac-
cordingly she decided to form a garden
In a barrel. An empty sugar barrel was
perforated by a series of holes an inch
and a quarter in diameter. the holes be-
ing five inches apart and the circular
rows being a distance of six inches from
each other. The barrel was then filled
with alternate layers of gravel and
sand loam. with a thin layer of fertil-
izer sandwiched between them. The
gardener then inserted through the au-
ger holes the roots of hsr strawberry
plants and rooted them also, as many
as possible, in the earth of the open top
OF the barrel. In the course of time she
found her barrel one mass OF luscious
fruit. The same experiment Is now In
process or being carried out.
