b'uty the United States will assume
only until such time as a stable govern
r1ant shall be formed and operative IN
Cuba. There will be no perpetual guar
antee on this score.
1t is expected that the commissioners
will now take up the subject of the
Philippines. The American commits
sioners have given this subject much
attention. but SO far it has never ap-
peared before the joint commission save
in the shape of one spasmodic effort
made by the Spaniards at the very be-
ginning of the sessions to have the
United States abandon Manila as a
precedent to further negotiations on
the subject of the Philippines.
The American commissioners, among
other things, have been looking into
the subject of the Philippine debt,
about which there Is much ignorance
at this end of the line. 1t is unlikely
that the same rule will be applied to
that debt as was insisted upon relative
to the Cuban debt. In other words, If
the United States annexes the Philip
pines. which seems now to be the log
ical outcome of the situation, it might
be reasonably commended that at least
so much of the debt as represented
moneys expended for the Improvement
of the islands should pass to the United
States with the title.
The situation is regarded as material
ly different from that in Cuba, where
the United States gains nothing, for
with the annexation of the Philippines
we should acquire a territory almost as
large as the British Isles. with a tenn
ing population of more than $1,000
people. 1t will be for the American
commissioners to arrange the details
of the transfer of the Philippines to the
United States.

Immediately after the opening OF the
court Recorder Bard opened the pro-
ceedings by referring to the excitement
and scandals caused by the case, even
before the appeal for revision of the
trial was lodged. He then reviewed
the history of the case from the arrest
Of Dreyfus and said his condemnation
was for one of the crimes which inspire
universal horror, and it struck one OF
those in whom the country had tie
most confidence.
Continuing, M. Bard spoke of the e.
fects made to obtain revision of the
case, referred to the denunciation OF
Major Esterhazy and reviewed Nine
Dreyfus' appeal for a revision of tie
case. In so doing M. Bard said this
appeal was based on the assumption
that the bordereau was written by Ma
jor Esterhazy. He then pointed out
that there We're suspicious facts which
justify the request for the rev sion
Nine. Dreyfus contended that her huS-
band did not write the bordereau,
which all the experts reported he did
write. The court therefore, would have
to examine these facts and decide
whether revision was justified.

Cause For the Appeal.

M. Bard added that the appeal for a
revision was decided upon in conse-
quence of the late Lieutenant Colonel
Henry's confession that he had forged
a document in the case; but. NJ Bard
said, this forgery was committed in
1896 and could not alone be regarded s
ground for a revision or for an annul-
ment of the Judgment rendered in 1891.
Nevertheless, M. Bard then said,
Lieutenant Colonel Henry had com nit
ted forgery, his evidence was the most
crushing against Dreyfus, and, he con-
tinued, the evidence of a forger is open
to suspicion. There was, therefore, the
presumption Of innocence, based upon
fresh fact, which led to the appeal for
a revision Of the case, and there was
also ground to ask whether another
new fact has not been brought to Ii: hit
and If Dreyfus was really the author ct
the bordereau and rote written to Ma
jor Esterhazy and found in the apart
ment of Mile. Pays, in which the writer
asked what he should do respecting the
bordereau.
M. Bard next read Cc'onel Du Patty
de CLAIMS report of the arrest of Drey-
fus then captain of French artillery
doing staff duty, in which the colonel
said that Dreyfus, while writing to h s
dictation, betrayed intense excite
ment."
But" M. Bard added amid the sur
prise of his hearers, 1.-The photograph
taken of this writing does not give the
slightest indication that Dreyfus was
laborng under excitement"
Dreyfus, M. Bard also said. denied to
Colonel DuPaty de Clam that he ever
had relations, directly or indirectly,
with foreign powers.

There is no truth in the rumor which
was current in London TO the efec,
that President Taure had been assas-
sinated.
Nothing definite has yet been settled
in connection with the formation of a
new cabinet. The air, however, is full
of ministerial lists, in which the name
of Nj. Ribot figures prominently. He is
said to be the favorite candidate of the
Elysee palace. and it is generally be-
lieved President Faure will appeal to
him to form a cabinet of Republican
concentration, with M. Delcasse re-
manning in the foreign office. Such a
cabinet would net oppose a revision of
the trial of Dreyfrs. M. Ribot has al
ways been regarded as being favorable
to reopening Of tie case.
President T:V received M. Delcasse
and had a To-; conference with the
minister on fureiEn affairs. M. De.casse
afterward had q long talk with Captain
Baratier, the French officer sent to Par

Feeding Value of Straw.

In ordinary farm practice in Utah
the straw is considered of very little
value. In many instances, instead of
an economical use being made of it,
whole stacks are burned, and instead of
the plant food contained in the straw
being returned to and thus enriching
the soil it is wasted. Feeding trials at the
state station, however, have proved CON
cl lively that straw can be used advan-
tageously for feeding in connection with
our most common forage crop, lucern.
The old assumption that the crude
fiber Of straw is indigestible and that
its digestibility as a whole is far less
than that Of other coarse folders has
been shown to be erroneous. Expert
ments made on the digestibility of straw
show that two-fifths of the total nu-
trients, including the crude fiber, are di-
gestible, at least by ruminants, thus
making it very little below other coarse
folders as regards digestibility. Straw
is rich in crude fiber and poor in pro-
tein; hence it is not suited alone to
form ration, but very desirable when
fed with fodder rich in protein, as
lucern. Its value varies considerably,
according to the kind, the manner of
sowing, the soil and the time of sowing
Armsby says that oat straw stands first,
barley next and wheat last in feeding
value.

Chnnges In Dakota.

vester, as il takes two men TO shock aft

man says that one year with another,
he has best success in hauling the wheat
right from the machine to the elevator,
and selling at once. He says that he has
put 10 cent wheat in farm granary.
and after holding two years, sold for 80
cents. He believes that harvesting in
his part of Dakota will in a few years
undergo a decided change. He thinks
the Russian thistle and the hot, dry
winds will drive farmers to stock rails

The Potato Field.

During the grain harvest the potato
field is apt to be neglected This was
bad enough in the days when weeds
were the only enemies to be feared.
Since the potato beetle has become COM
mon, there should never day pass
when some one does not go through the
field and destroy all the larvae in sight.
1t is easy to see 10y examining the
leaves whether eggs are numerous. If
they are not, hand picking of beetles
will suffice. A dose of poison applied,
diluted with water at the rate of tea
spoonful of the poison TO "A pail of wa
ter, will kill the larvae so soon as they
get to work and prevent most of the
damage. 1t is very difficult to have this
done so promptly that part at least of
the hills will not be stripped before the
poison is applied. But in harvest time
there are several hours of daylight early
iii the morning, when dew will prevent
doing much in the harvest field. If this
makes too many hours work per day,
take longer incoming If the grain
harvest and the care of potatoes conflict,
most farmers will be wise in giving the
preference in care to the crop that is
most profitable, and, concludes The
American Cultivator, it takes several
acres of grain to equal in value large
potato crop on one acre.
