A S0cIABLE SEAL.
The Strange Story Told I'm Scotland
of the Remarkable Conduct
OF n Sea Animal.

A gentleman residing in Broughty
Ferry, who owns a yacht, took run
down the river the other day, accom-
panied by some friends, for the pur-
pose of having seal hunt, says the
Edinburgh Dispatch. On the banks
at the mouth of the estuary they saw
large numbers of seals, old and young.
Believing that these creatures are
attracted BY whistling, they tried the
experiment, and were surprised to OBJ
serve a young seal following in the
wake of the yacht. Continuing to
whistle. the creature followed up the
river, disappearing for a time, and
then reappearing with its head above
the surface of the water. 1t was not
far off when the yacht reached its an
chorage in the West Ferry bay, and
after the yachtsmen went ashore they
we're more than astonished TO see the
young seal Hopping up the beach be-
hind them. So tame was the creature
that they had no difficulty in captur
ing it. 1t was carried to their home.
1t was well fed and cared for. Not hav-
ing proper place for keeping such
a pet. it was resolved to restore it
to its natural element, and the yachts
men proceeded down the river to the
neighborhood of Broughty castle,
where it was placed in the water. So
attached, however, had the seal be-
come to its captors that 1t refused
10 leave and again followed them home
to West Ferry.

OUR OFFICIALS RECALLED.
THE MANGROvE Is SENT TO ia.
yANA TO BRING THEN AWAY.
GENERAL LEE ALONE REMAINS.
Publicity Given the Finding Of Court
OF Inquiry Responsible Fer
This Action.

A Key West special says Shortly
after five o'clock Friday evening the
lighthouse tender Mangrove steamed
away from the dock under full speed
and was quickly lost to view in the
gathering darkness. The sudden de.
parture of the boat created intense ex-
element, but it was not until Friday
night that reason was assigned for
the quick moving of the Mangrove.
The boat left the dock in obedience
to orders received direct from Wash
ington..
These orders instruct the command
er OF the Mangrove to proceed at once
to Havana, take on all the American
officials shere, with the exception of
Consul General Lee, and bring them
away Immediately.
The special orders from Washington
were generally known among the naval
men and were pretty freely discussed.
In naval circles it is said that the pub
Lefty given the finding of the court Of
inquiry is responsible for the orders to
the Mangrove, and it is feared at Key
West that the knowledge of the courts
report has excited Havana's popula-
ton ard brought the anti-American
sentiment to climax.

simultaneously both France and the
United States are gravely considering
the adyisability of creating cabinet
portfolios in the special interest OF
commerce. But the reasons impelling
the two Governments to recognize the
demands OF commerce are wholly diff
ferent, notes the Atlanta Constitution.
In France there has been much un.
easiness for some time in the public
mind over the gradual falling off in
foreign exports. Germany, Great
Britain aud the United States have
almost completely destroyed the once
magnificent foreign trade Of France,
and the idea of creating commercial
bureau at this time with Cabinet
representation is to encourage com.
mercial activity on the part OF the
French people and to coax back some
Of the trade which the republic has
lost. On tho other hand, the causes
operating in favor of the creation of
bureau Of commerce in the United
States spring from the growing magni.
tude and Importance of our foreign
trade relations. Under the federal
system there are already various Gov.
Ornamental departments devoted to the
Interests OF commerce, but in order to
meet the increasing demands of trade
it is claimed that these departments
should be united into one comprehen.
sive bureau, with representation in
the Cabinet. To effectuate this idea
there are now five separate measures
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee of the National House of
Representatives; but the latest in
formation received from Washington
authorizes the belief that the Inter.
state Commerce Committee will re-
commend the creation OF a bureau
with Commissioner at its head
instead of Cabinet officer. That
France and the United States should
both be considering at the same time
the sdvisability Of creating CONNER.
cial bureaus, even though for differ
emit reasons, is quite singular coinci.

Brother of Dead Man Writes Sensational
Letter to GOyernor.

Letter to Governor.
DR.. G. A. Ryder. brother of DR.. w.
l., Ryder, who was lynched at Talbot
ton, Ga, last July, has written a
highly sensational letter to Governor
Atkinson IN which he gives the names
of the men who, he alleges, are guilty
of the lynching of his brother.
The governor forwarded the letter
to the solicitor to be presented to the
grand jury at Talbotton. He also wir.
ed DR.. @. A. Ryder, at Gainesville,
telling him to proceed in person to
Talbotton and lay before the solicitor
all the additional information in his
possession which bears on the case.
DIR. Ryder in his letter names the
following prominent citizens Of Talbot
county as having been implicated in
the lynching:
DIR. "Billy" Bryan, Will Parker,
Albert Owen, Will Leonard, Tim
Leonard, John Parker, Riley Parker,
"Til" Harris, and Finley Greene.
The letter is sensational in every de-
tail. The writer affirms that every one
in Talbot county knows the names of
the lynchers, and charges that threats
have been made against him il he did
not drop the investigation. He states
that the case was worked up by Pink
erton detective, and gives the sources
through which the information was re-
ceived.

SPANIARDS MAKE A MOVE.
Torpedo Flotilla to Assemble within Easy

Torpedo Flotiila to Assemble Within Easy
Reach Of Key West.

came with rapidity.
First came the definite information
tothe department from one of our naval
attaches abroad that the Spanish tor.
pedo fotilla had sailed from the Cana.
ries to Porto Rico. This move has
been watched by the navy department
with intense interest, and is regarded
to some extent as q demonstration
against this country.
The feet consists OF six torpedo
boats and seven torpedo beat destroy
ers-thirteen in all--constituting one
OF the most formidable torpedo SQUAD
rons now afloat. AS soon as the tele-
gram making the announcement was
received it was taken to the white
house and laid before the president.
A long conference followed this, be-
tween the president and Secretary
Long and Mr.. Roosevelt, as to the
course this government should adopt.
There is very decided current Of
sentiment among naval officers, includ-
ing some of the highest, in favor of
decisive and immediate action. They
say that from q naval stragetic view il
would be most unfortunate at this
time, to have this great fotilla brought
within easy reach of our squadron at

Sheep Losing Their WOOL.

When sheep lose their wool it is
sign that they are feverish. This
condition is nearly always an indica.
ton that the digestive organs are i'm.
paired. Old sheep that have begun
to lose their teeth are especially liable
to be affected in this way. It is mostly
caused by hard, dry food, though the
Indigestion may be due to q surteit OF
grain. Some succulent food, such as
bran mash, fed warm, is good. So
are roots Of any kind, if they are
sliced so that the sheep can easily eat
them. The sheep is ruminant, and
If the roots are in slices, though they
may 60 down in hard Jumps, they will
come up in the mouth and be there
thoroughly remasticated. Unless you
mean to give special care to the sheep
that begin to lose their wool, it is
better economy to kill them at once
and sell their hides for the little they
will bring. Those on which the wool
is stripped from most of the belly will
probably die before spring, whatever
care you can give them. All sheep
old enough to be unsafe to winter
should be separated at shearing time,
and fattened for killing during the
summer, when the fattening is easy,
because the sheep can then find plenty
OF succulent rasturage.

The Black Rot of the Cabbage.

Farmers Bulletin, No. 6S, has JUS,
been published by the Department of
Agriculture giving to cabbage growers
the benefit of some recent discoveries
by the Division of Vegetable Physio.
logy and Pathology of the United
States Department of Agriculture on
the black rot of the cabbage. The
author of this bulletin is Mr.. Erwin +
Smith, under whose immediate super.
vision the Investigations were made
which resulted in these discoveries.
Although this disease has come into
prominence only within the last few
years, 1t is now serious hindrance to
cabbage growing in several States,
causing losses to the growers agrre.
eating many thousands of dollars
yearly.
The disease is known to growers in
various parts OF the country under
different names, perhaps the common.
est of which are "stem rot" and
BLACK rot, "and has heretofore resisted
all attempts to eradicate it.
As there is no known way of Curing
the disease or of entirely Kidding O
locality of it when once established.
prevention is the only alternative, and
the bulletin points out to the grower
where the danger lies, how the intro.
duotion OF the disease may often be
prevented, and how, when already
introduced, great losses may some.
times be avoided.-Farm, Field and
