illustration. Occasionally there is born
on the farm a buffalo that develops into a
most unruly rebel. Any attempt TO hitch
such an animal to wagon results in one
of two things, either the buffalo runs away
with the wagon ard never stops running
until the whole outfit is demolished and
possibly he himself manned or killed. or
else he let's out with his rear hoofs and
tries to kick the wagon 10 pieces. In either
event the valuable stock of the farm is
sure to suffer.
The buffalo wagon Is the remedy fo.
this, and 1t never fails to work ike a charm
when the unruly animal is taken in hand
early enough in his turbulent career. 1; is

= particularly fine, they mature earlier
than domestic cattle, their flesh is whole
some and tender and they can stand con-
sidsrably more exposure in the winter than
do the domestic cattle.
Ny experiments have shown that as
rule the buffalo COW raises a calf every
other year, the births usually take place
between the months OF February and July.
We allow the calf to run with the mother
for three or four months. Then the little
animal is weaned. This is done for two
reasons. Firstly, we find that we can bet
ter domesticate the calves when they are
separated from their mothers; and, sec
ondly, when deprived of the presence of
the calf the mother will sooner present the
owners of the stock farm with another one.
The difficulties Of buffalo farming are
not so great as would be expected by those
who have not experimental. According to
the popular idea, the buffalo farmer would
have fierce encounters with the wild stock

DOUBTFUL IN MANY STATES
In Few Instances Are the Pres
ent lnCumbentS Confident
of Reflection.
AS Now Constituted No Party
Has a Majority and Leg
isIation Drags.

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE control of
the United States senate will be deter
mined very largely by the result of
Tuesdays election, when 20 states elect
legislatures which will in turn elect
senators. The present party strength in
the senate is as follows: Republicans
43, Democrats "a, Populists 8, Silver Re-
pnblicans 6. This gives majority to
no one party and it has proved fruitful
source of doubt in legislation influenced
by party lines.
The terms of 30 of the present sena-
tors are about to expire and in most of
these cases the legislatures chosen Tues
day will elect successors. In seven cases,
however, legislatures already have been
chosen and senators elected, namely:
Gain of Two Republicans.
Aldrich Of Rhode Island, Daniel of
Virginia, McComas to succeed German
in Maryland, Hanna of Ohio, Money of
Mississippi, Proctor of Vermont and the
legislature of Maine, which has been
elected, but has not yet chosen a SEN
ator. In Oregon, also, Simon has been
elected to fill vacancy. These
changes, already made, give net gain
of of two in the Republican vote, Nc
Comas of Maryland and Simon of Ore
gon. OF the remaining % senators to be
chosen the election of the present in
cumbent is expected in several in
stances, but in quite large number of
them much doubt exists The Repub-
ican managers are placing reliance on
the fact that they
Need Only Few Votes
to assure them a clear majority, while
the Democrats, Populists and Silver Re-
publicans would have to carry most all
of the doubtful legislatures in order to
prevent Republican majority. The
states considered most in doubt are
West Virginia, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, North Dakota, New Jersey, In
diana, California, Washington and Ne
braska, conflicting claims being made in
each case Among senate officials the
opinion prevails that the anomalous con-
dition now prevailing of senate with
out'a majority will end with the COM
ing election, and that the legislatures
then chosen will give assurance of ma
jority rule in the upper branch of con-
gress after March next.

PAINFUL IMPRESSION LEFT.
Frenchmen DO Not Relish the idea Of
Backing Out of Egypt.

PARIS, Nov. THE newspapers here,
commenting upon the announced inten-
tion of the French government to cause
the Marchand mission to evacuate Fa-
shoda, say they must wait for the decla-
ration of the minister of foreign affairs,
M. Delcasse, before pronouncing an
opinion on the subject. But they point
out that this check has caused painful
impression throughout the country.
The ministerial policy announced by
the premier, M. Dupuy, in the chamber
of deputies, has been generally well re-
ceived. The cabinets policy of concil-
iation, and its decision to end the at
tacks on the army, are approved and the
chambers endorsement of this policy
also meets with approval.

This Ends the Career OF the spanish
Cruiser Maria Teresa.
CHARLESTON, SC, Nov. THE ocean
tug Merritt put into Charleston for sup
plies. She reported the loss of the
cruiser Maria Teresa, raised by Con-
structor Hobson recently, off San Saliva
dor, Bahamas, Nov. 1, in the midst of a
furious storm.
The cruiser left Calmanera, Cuba, on
the morning of Oct. 80, in tow for New
York. She had already passed Cape
Maysi and started northeast around the
Bahamas. A furious storm, warning of
which had already been sent out, over
took her, and in her condition she was
unable to weather the gale. The strain
opened rents in her hull which had been
patched to enable her to make the jour-
ney, and she began to fill rapidly. The
Merritt took off Captain Harris and the
crew from the sinking ship and she soon
went down. The Merritt brought the
captain and 1876 men, who will proceed
north by rail. No lives We're lost.

LETTER FROM GOMEZ.
The Old General Favors Creating a Cuban
National Guard.

The Old General FavOrs Creating a Cuban
National Guard.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Following is
an extract from a letter received by
Senior Quesada from General Gomez,
written Oct. 90:
Il have full confidence in the solemn
promises made by the congress of Wash
ington and for that reason / do not
have any fears for the independence of
our ideal is realized, but after so many
struggles and privations we can wait a
little longer.
1.-The military occupation by the
United States is to certain extent nee
essary to prepare and hurry the evacua-
ton of the Spanish and to bring about
harmony among the different factors in
Cuban politicians.
Favors Cubans for Garrison Duty.
Most of the officers and soldiers went
into the field obeying my orders; l can
not abandon them until their future is
assured. They have lost everything
they had; they have a right to some
compensation, and. above all, to their
salaries; the new government must Sc
cure them. The disbandment cannot
occur until the Spaniards have evacu-
ated; my men cannot be abandoned
without bread or work to the mercy of
their enemies. A solution could be
found, perhaps, in the plan which the
American government is said to have.
of creating a national guard formed of
the majority of Cuban soldiers. This
organization would offer the advantage
of not exposing the American troops to
the deadly climate of the island. In the
meanwhile and until the evacuation of
Cuba food must be provided for my sol
diers,''

CUBAN SOLDIERS PLEA.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 7.-An in

ward sold for $3.50 They denied that
they were under any obligations to pay
for it, and claimed exemption from trial
and Imprisonment on the ground of
their rank in the Cuban army.
Many people are arriving here with
letters from senators. One man is vir-
tually appointed by Secretary Alger as
collector of customs at Manzanillo. He
expects about three times the salary of
the Cuban now holding the position.

GAMBIA, Crete, Nov. Rear Admiral
Gerard Henry Noel, British commander

troops whose embarkation was delayed
by an order from Constantinople to en-

miral caused the barracks to be sur
rounded and declared the Turks prison
ers. He also threatended to use force
to compel them to embark. The Turk.

While many theories are offered as to
