Canada Thistles.

Any reader of The Farmers Review
that can answer the question will
oblige G. L. Having several patches of
these plants in a pasture of two hun
dred acres, We know those thistles to
be rich in sugar; cut, too, within the
spring cattle prefer them as fodder bet
ter than rank grass. We have known
field mice to climb the main stem, to
eat the seed in its capsules. Thistles
and grass growing together cut with a
scythe in moving will make excellent
hay for cows, increasing their flow Of
milk; that produces sweet butter. The
dry spines being sharp, are very disa-
greeable to bare hands. When stacked
IN large barns the saccharine matter
sWeats vigorously and sometimes fires
the stacks by spontaneous combustion.
II the sod containing thistles is then
broken by blowing, planted with pota-
toes for two seasons thistles are de-
stroyed. In Great Britain many per-
sons use them for edible greens, before
cabbage comes.

THE Ep1scopA1 CONTENTION.
Brief Resume Ofthe Work Accomplished
 During the Council.


 Washington, Oct. 25.-After session of three weeks the Episcopal triennial council of 1898 came to an end tonight. Probably never before at one conven- tion has the council transacted more business than at this meeting, or so much of vital importance to the church. The work accomplished included com plete revision of the constitution, with many important amendments; also the adoption of a number of amendments, most of them of minor character to the canons. The new constitution will have to be ratified by the next succeed ing convention, three years hence, be- fore it becomes operative. A matter which has received the earnest atten- tion of the council has been the ques- tion of church unity, upon which an amendment to the constitution was adopted. A readjustment has been made of the boundary lines of the mis- sionary districts in the western and northwestern part of the United States, new diocese in Indiana has been ere ated, six missionary bishops elected one for the church in Brazil-and dis cussion had bearing on the extension of the church work in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. The failure of the proposed new canon on marriage and divorce caused considerable surprise, but this has been left to committee of thirteen members to prepare a report to be made public nine months before the next convention.

WAR IN THE HORSE GUARDS. E4udingtonites and Antt-LEsdingt tonites
 Lock Horns Once More.

The war in the Horse Guard between the Ludington and -Ludington forces has broken out afresh. Accord ing to the anti Ludingtonites it is the Ludingtonites who are in the field for scalps this time The antis assert that the Ludingtonites, nos content with the summary reduction to the ranks of certain prominent -L,udington men last summer, are now attempting to rub it in by court martialing the antis on trif1ing charges. Thus it came about, they say, that fifteen of their number were ordered before a court martial last Friday evening. Six of them appeared, and four of these got a continuance of their cases as their attorney was unable to attend. Two were tried by the court and let go after being reprinanded. The other cases were continued until last evening. Three of the anti -Ludingtonite then appeared for trial and were represent ed by Attorney Warehouse The pro- ceedings of the court martial were held in secret and those who were tried re- fused to make known the proceedings, but it leaked out that after hearing the evidence the court suspended judgment for a time. The offences charged were minor ones, such as absence from drills during the summer months. The pres- ident of the court is First Lieutenant fSo WY lao the Ludington men assert Is the only Ludington officer of the eight commissioned officers of the company. The four non-commissioned officers who make up the rest of the court are also said to belong to the Ludington faction.
 The trouble between the two parties, so the anti-Ludingtonites assert, arose out of the election of a successor to Major BIakeslee last winter. Captain Ludington, the next in seniority, was at first passed by and Captain Hall se- lected He was induced to withdraw, the antis said, by Major Ludington. A committee of those opposed to Luding- tons being major was seen by Luding- ton and agreed to make him major on his promising that he would resign not later than the spring field day. In view of this promise they say he was unani- mously elected, but refused to resign at the time he promised the committee that he would. The antis further say that he is doing all in his power to make it uncomfortable for them, and they point out as an instance his sum- mary reduction to the ranks of staff officers Walter Russell, L. P. Forbes, Sergeant G. W. Austin, Benjamin Rich- ards, from fifth to eighth sergeant, and Frank Orr from first corporal to eighth corporal. These places, the antis say, have been filled up with Ludington men. They further say that by the ad- misison of new members Major Luding- ton now has a majority in the company and says that he shall hold the position of major as long as he can.

Y4ALE AND CORNELL.
Official Denial That Latter Will Refuse
 to Row Yale.

uO ROW IaIcs
 Ithaca, N Y., Oct. 25.-Cornelps ath- letic authorities, including Professor Wheeler and Professor Huffcut of the athletic council, were interviewed to- day relative to the report that Cornell had adopted a policy of refusing to row Yale if the authorities of that uni- versity would not agree to meet Cornell on the gridiron and on the diamond next year. Professor Wheeler said: Such a policy on Cornell's part has never been suggested or even dreamed of in the athletic council. I am certain that the students of the university have no such sentiments and even if they had it is doubtful if the present athletic council would encourage them, or even admit of their discussion. Yale does not have to play football or baseball with us or any other university unless it so chooses. We dictate the policy of no university but our own.'
 Professor Huffcut, president of the athletic council, said: That report was absolutely false and absurd. In arranging the race with Yale last year Cornell decided that the fact that Yale would or would not agree to meet Cor nell in other athletic contests was not to be considered.' The Cornell Daily Sun in an editorial to-day discredited every feature of the statement.

The daily morning journal and courier., 1898-10-26

Altogether some two hundred and tif- ty arrests have been made. Nothing now is heard about Fashoda, but it is regarded as extremely probable that the cabinet crisis will be utilized to put M. Hanatoux in the foreign office. M. Moline is also mentioned as a possible new premier to succeed the retiring Brisson, who had succeeded him. About midnight mob of members of the pa triotic league smashed number ot windows.
 The vigilance committee of the so- cialist party issued tonight a manifes- to condemning the action of General Chanoine and denouncing the make believe republicans, who have strangled debate in the chamber and created a crisis" The committee has decided to organize all the socialists and reyolu- tionary forces in the country against military and clerical action.

CHANoINE'S REsIGNATION.
1t Precipitntes New Struggle Between
 Military and Civil Authorities.


 Paris, Oct. 25.-General Chanoine is the fifth minister of war who has de- clared himself absolutely convinced sof the guilt of Dreyfus and the third who has resigned on that account. His to- tally inexplicable and unexpected &C., ton was certainly the chief sensation in day of sensational events. He dealt veritable coup de jarnac to the cabinet and precipitated new strug- gle between the military and civil authorities. Yesterday was the first time General Chanoine had occupied the ministerial bench. He spoke brief ly with painful incoherence and then literally bolted from the chamber. The scenes that followed were almost inde- scribable. When M. Brisson appeared in the tribune he was received with in- suits from all sides, but he stood his dent Faure declined to receive General Chanoine when the latter called at the Elyssee after bolting from the cham Der. M. Faure sent out word that he could only receive Chanoine's resigna- ton through M. Brisson. In a subse- quent interview it was agreed that the portfolio could only be intrusted to a civilian in order to assert the lnsubor- dination of the military authorities.

w1111MAN41c SAYINGS INSTITUTE.
Bank Examiners Meet the Directors
 House Probably Solvent.

Willimantic, Conn.,, Oct. 25.--Bank Examiner S. w. Crofut of Killingly and Charles Nobles of New Milford visited this city this afternoon and made an examination of the Williman- tic Savings institute. Afterwards the examiners met the directors to consider action to be taken at the expiration of the injunction which restraints the bank from paying out any money in excess of 10 per cent. on each deposit. The injunction expires November 8, and it was obtained in order that the bank might take advantage of the new state law to prevent run. No action was taken at to-day's meeting as far as could be learned. The directors, how ever, recommended the bank commits soners to ask the supreme court to al- low the bank to pay interest on all de- posits from October i, at the regular rate of interest, the first dividend to come due April 1, next. This recom- mendation of the directors is believed to indicate that the institution is sol vent,

Case of Murderer Willis,

Bridgeport, Oct 25.-When the case of Benjamin Willis against the state of Connecticut, an appeal from the verdict of a jury in the criminal superior court which found the prisoner guilty of mur- supreme court to-day no motion for an arrest of judgment was made. Counsel simply announced that the case was ready for argument and as nothing was said it will probably take it's turn. It is understood that the case went over for a few days because State Attorney Samuel Fessenden is engaged in trying another murder case in the criminal su- perior court, now in session.

GENERAL GREELEY,S REPORT.
Work of the Signal Corps-Honor of
 Locating Cervera

Lo cRttn& CerverH.
 Washington, Oct 5.-Brigadier Gen. eral A. W. Greedy, signal officer, to-day presented to Secretary Alger his report of the operations of the signal corps during the war. General Greedy dis cusses the arrangement and installa- tion of electrical and other appliances whereby the war department to all in- tents and purposes was brought near to the army and quick communication, es- tablished between the commanding general and his general officers of the Fifth army corps. He points out that at all critical periods of the campaign General Shafter was kept in direct communication by telephone with his subordinate commander, the lines being uninterruptedly maintained under an almost constant fire of the enemy Special stress is laid upon the value of the signal corps facilities in directing the fire of the naval vessels
 General Greedy says Concerning this telegraphic and telephonic which did not fall within the plans of the major general commanding the Fifth army corps and for which he made no provisions, the chief signal officer feels it is his duty to point out this absolute military necessity" General Greedy is confident that during the single month of June his corps was worth more to the nation than has been the cost of the army. General Greedy strongly comments the balloon service and de- clares that it's utility was thoroughly demonstrated General Greedy says that the signal corps failed to receive from Major General Shartef in his orig ina1 report even a notice that it partic- ipated in the Santiago campaign
 General Greedy declares that the inn pression of the part of many that the signal corps exercised a press censor ship during the war is entirely un- founded. He states that the Associat- ed Press and many of the leading journals in a most patriotic spirit ex- pressed freely and frequently their will Iingness and desire to refrain from the publication of any information that would embarrass the administration or be detrimental to the government, General Greely's report indicates that the credit for the location of Cervera's fleet belongs to the signal corps He says: ''The location of Cervera's squadron at Santiago was first made by Colonel James Allen and later veri- fled independently by Lieutenant Colo mel Joseph E. Mazfield. Blockading of Cervera's s squadron was due to the con- servative action of the president and the secretary based on reports made to them by the signal officer of the army" General Greedy strongly advocates an increase in the signal corps.

25O Arrests Made-Nothing Now Heard
 About FashOda.
 Paris. Oct. 25-After the adjournment of the chamber there was great excite nent, followed by street demonstra- tions, principally maintained by the anti-semites, led by M. Drumont, in the vicinity of the offices of the Libre, Pa role and other anti-Dreyfus papers. At many points the boulevards soon be- came almost impossible, and there were numerous collisions between the demonstrators and the police. who had been fasting since early morning. Only with the utmost difficulty was sem- blance of order preserved, and in many cases it was necessary for the curas- siers to clear the streets.
 About 10 o'clock a band of youthful rovalists formed in front of the mili- tary club, and after cheering for the army marched, preceded by the tri-col- or. towards the offices of the Soleil and the GauIois, singing "C'est Emgam- oelle Nous Faut'' (we need Gamelle we must have Gamelle). Gamelle is a nickname of the Duke of Orleans, and the reference was to the story that the duke when entering the army express ed the desire to eat from the Gamelle or soup bowl of private. On arriving at the boulevard this demonstration, which had grown to several thousands, met a rival republican demonstration. A violent collision took place, and the republicans captured the royalists' flag.

DAYS OF BoULANG1sM.
London Times Paris Correspondent
 Says They Are Returning

Says They Are Returning.
 London, Oct. 26.-The Paris corre- spondent of the Times says: ''The days of Boulangism are returning wth- out Floquet to draw the sword against factious general and without Constant to make him cross the frontier The cabinet has been over- turned on mere pretext because bands of people collected by those defying authority while pretending to defend it, have fomented agitation and almost terror. In the Rue Royale the rioters tried to overturn carriage containing three Americans amid cries of Down with the Jews" Evidently the taste for street demonstrations is reviving, and perhaps on Thursday when the court of Cassadon will meet, there will be a renewal of the uproar. It looks as though M. Brisson gave up in dis gust a position which yielded him neither pleasure nor greatness

SESSION OF CUBAN ASSEMBLY
4 MAJORITY OF THE MEMBERS ARE
 MILITARY DELEGATES.
The Appearance of General Garcia the Sensation of the Assembly-He Is Prac- ticaily Supreme-sentiment Against DisbandiMg the Army Until Mckinley Makes Known HIS InteMtions-An- nexation Party In Minority.
nexation Party In Minority.

Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 25.-The first session of the Cuban assembly was held yesterday at Santa Cruz del Sur. A majority of the members are military being represented by eight-the First and Second corps being stationed in the Orient district, the Third in Puerto Principe, the Fourth in Santa Clara, the Fifth in Mantanzas and Havana, and the Sixth in Pinar del Rio. The sensa- tion of the assembly was the appear ance of General Calixto Garcia as one of the delegates from the Fifth army corps, a fact which practically renders him supreme at the assembly's session. His election to preside over the pro ceedings is considered a foregone con- clusion, as it is conceded that he con- trols a, majority of the delegates. The Cespedes faction is defeated. Its lead- CTS now deny that they had any desire to discredit General Garcia and the at tempt to impeach him before the as sembly will probably not be made
 The principal question for considera- tion will be the question of disbanding the army. It is thought the assembly will oppose disbandng until in the words of one of the military delegates, "some assurance is received from Pres ident Mckinley that he intends to ob- serve the resolution of the United States congress regarding the absolute free dom of Cuba" It being a military as- sembly, the annexation party has but small representation. One proposition to come up for discussion is that the army should remain an armed force for the purpose of policing and garrisoning the island from the beginning of next year, when the United States troops are expected to leave. The assembly will appoint a committee to wait upon Pres ident Mckinley. Owing to the scarcity of food and water, however, the assem- bly, will probably move, after few res olutions, to Mariana.
 Another proposition to be brought be- fore the delegates is the division or Cu- ba into four states, to be called Orient, now the province of Santiago de Cuba; Camaguey, now the province of Puerto Principe; Las Villas, now the province of Santa Clara, and Oecident, now the provinces of Mantanzas, Havana and Pinar del Rio. Between the proposed states of Camaguey and Las Villas would be a space of land which would be a special federal district or territory where the capital would be built, a new inland town for this specific purpose. A delegate will propose the trial by court-nartial of all officers in the Cu- ban army who have permitted their men to disband. In these ways, and in others the assembly intends to show the world that it considers the Ameri- cans merely temporary visitors, who will evacuate the island shortly after the Spaniards.

 Waterbury, Conn.,, Oct 25.-The dele gates to the democratic representative caucus met in the city hall tonight and placed in nomination Attorney John O'Neil for the first representative without any contest and for the second candidate Frank F. Brett, young attorney, received the nonina- tion after sixty eight ballots were cast. There were two opponents against At torney Brett, James M. Sullivan, one of the best known newspaper men of the city, and M. J. Byrne. It was the general impression that MT. Sullivan would be the second man on the ticket as it was arranged to have age and youth both represented, but the advent of Attorney O'Neil into the race caused some changes as to the original plans as to the make up of the ticket.

Criticism of England over Her Course

Montreal, Oct 25.-The Trenches dian papers are freely criticising Eng land over her course in Egypt. Last night La Patre, the government organ, stated that though they were loyal sub jects of the empire, they were French men also. To-day La Minerve says: "The English do not admit either dis cussion or arbitration. They simply order the recall of Marchand, and if this demand is not complied with they are ready to make war. This reminds one of the procedure of the United States against Spain. Right is nothing to the Anglo-Saxon from the moment that he is certain that he is the strong est"
