OFFICIAL NOTE
From Blanco Says 6,617 Spanish Sol
 diers Have Returned to Spain.

Havana October H.-The Spanish military comm ssioners today delivered an official note to the American commissioners giving the number of Spanish troops stripped to Spain up to the present time at 6,617, not including those who go by the transports Montserrat and Miguel Gaflart, which will take 2,2O0 additional men. Tn addition it was announced that transports to carry the entire garrisons of Gibara, Holguin and other places in these div sions will leave on October 20, "A. 26 and 30. After they have sailed, it is pointed out half the island of Cuba will have been entirely evacuated.
 Since August 14, 6.725 passengers have ar- rived here They were almost entirelyl refugees who emigrataed during the war.
 Lieutenant Colonel Clous emphatically denies the published statement that 10000 Cubans will cooperate with the American troops in the preservation of order after the evacuation of the island by the Span- iards. The Amercan officer also denies that Mantanzas. will be occupied by the Cubans when the Spanish forces leave that place.

ImpossibIe to Pick ont Truth

Paris, October 15.-It is impossible to pick out the truth from the mass of ru- mors current regarding the alleged military plot. The general idea is that it was in- tended by pretended revolutionist demon stration to insult and provoke the army into some act which might have led to the arrest and incarceration of Drefusite and the proclamation of a military government.
 Apparently the Orleanists were at the bottom of the movement, and an English duke is mentioned. There is little doubt that the plot has been frustrated, but a very uneasy feeling prevails

Wanted for Murder

St Louis, October 14.-Oliver Greedy is charged on the blotter of the Central Dis trict police station with carrying concealed weapons, and is under arrest awaiting trial. Nearing St. Louis aboard flying train is Sheriff Collins, of Jonesboro, Ark, with requsition papers for Greedy and W. w. Lee, wanted in Big Bay, Ark. on a charge of murder. This summarizes the cumina- tion of events growing out of a double tragedy committed December 20, 1S57 in Big Bay, in which two unknown men were killed and their bodies incinerated in a burning building. Lee, the other man wanted, is in custody at St. Charles, Mo-, near here, and will be surrendered to Sher- if Collins on demand.

Washington, October 1.-The peace com- missioners at Paris are still dealing with the propositions relating to Cuba, but have not yet taken up the subject of the future of the Philippines.

Favored Greater Birmingham

Hon. John w. Tomlnson next addressed the chair to raise his voice in favor of Greater Birmingham. At the opening of Owenton college he was impressed with this subject It was then that pr. Anson West predicted that the day would come when we would see a great city stretching from Gate City to Bessemer and all under one government. MT. Tomlinson contended that the sewerage question alone was suffi- cient argument for annexation. A trip over the outlying districts reminded him of Jackson, Miss, which city was without sewerage and now nothing more than a pest hole. He had been told also that cer-r tain loan trust companies offering great advantages to property owners could not operate here because of the population of the city as given in the census. If the suburbs which were in reality a part of Bir- mingbam were annexed, we could go into the census of 1900 with population of 75,00O or 100000. We would not then have to en- ploy commercial agents to get enterprises here. He had no apologies to make for the annexation of the South Highlands. for he thought Birmingham got the best of the bargain. -f
 President B. Steiner, of the Commercial club, said that Major Johnson in his speeches had frequently mentioned that he came to be enlightened but somehow or other he had done all the fighting so far. This meeting was called to fix opinions and not to fix states. No sane man thought of annexing Decatur and Montgomery, as Major Johnson had ironically intimated The outlying districts that the city pro- posed to annex were already a part and parcel of the city

SITUATION UNCHANGED.
Cool Weather Has Caused no Abatemel t
 in Jackson's Fever Record.

Jackson, Miss, October H.-The yellow fever situation is practically unchanged so far as the number of cases are concern ed The thermometer, however, is ranging in the fifties tonight, and there are strong hopes that the spread of the infection will be checked by the cool weather, even if there is no frost. The Jackson report for today is ten new cases: Joe Harbin at the Baptist orphanage; Ruth and Ellen Ri- etti, T Condine, Mormon elder and six colored. There were no deaths.
 Dr. Hunters official report from other points is:
 Taylors, one new case; Poplarvifle, twelve new cases since October Il; Madi- son. six new cases, three white and three colored; Waveland, two new cases; Hat tiesburg, three new cases and one death; Natchez reports four new cases and one suspect, all in the southern part of the city; Harriston reports three new cases and three critically i'll. The Oxford report gives one new case, and states that light frost fell last night.

their debt on the city or not. The matter was then agitated on the grounds that it would be of mutual benefit to both parties. He knew that the South Highlands became a source of revenue in two years and that it now brought more than enough to pay its interest. That would follow if Avon dale and other suburban towns were talk en in. Avondale has a debt of $2O0 900. That is mere bagatelle. He supposed the debt was now taking care of itself and certainly 1t would after it was annexed. Taking in new territory is a benefit to both parties The cty would derive more revenue and the people taken in would receive greater pro lection and better Improvements. The property owner would be benefited. In answer to the argument of the necessity of building streets, etc., he said that this would not have to be done at once. Elmer gencies and necessities would be met as they arr4ved. He denied Major Johnsons proposition that the North Highlands were legislated in. They would not vote to get out now. The citizens were perfectly sat isfied. They did not get electric lights and streets all at once, but they were bid ng their time
 Some one in the audience remarked that taxation would be increased.
 Colonel Pierson answered that he did not anticipate imposs bities. No more tax could be levied than was now levied, out side of the tax under the Birmingham amendment
 Captain Graves again arose, but said he did not propose discussing the merits of annexation one way or the other. It was an enormous question. The greatest that had ever confronted the city. Before South Highlands came in the city, her citizens knocked at the door for annexation. Ii Avondale or any other suburb knocked at the door he would be glad to let them come in.

Not Giving Them a Show

We are preparing to discuss a question concerning 65,000 people without giving them showing" he continued. He wanted a meeting at the court house, where every body could be heard. Therefore he insisted on the motion to adjourn.
 Mayor Evans at this point asked Captain Graves if he would not be willing to sub init the question to the ballot box instead of a court house meeting. . .
 Captain Graves replied that this would be fair but still he thought meeting should be held.
 Major Johnson here again took the floor to reply to what Colonel Pearson had said. He had no criticism to indulge in on the citizens of South Highlands. They were wise and he commended them. They went along, got their sewers and streets and came in with their debt. It was the same way with Greater New York. Brooklyn and other suburban towns got their improve ments, covered them with bonds and then came into the city. South Highlands did this.

 He wanted to see the bill that was going to be prepared; wanted to know who was going to be annexed; wanted to know what we were going to assume; how many miles of vacant streets we were to take in.
 In a semi-humorous way the speaker re- ferred to the happiness of North Birming- ham. He and his friends had spent hun dreds of thousands of dollars there and had nothing to show for it but vacant lands, still being annexed and taxed. They are now paying 50 cents on the hundred, anu he facetiously remarked that they would be happy to pay dollar. He did not come to oppose annexation. He was for it primarily. But he would not leave it to any slate, any committee or the board of aldermen. Let the people be heard. He op- posed slate, or a caucus, or the people being dragooned into anything they did not want. It was not for little meeting to de- eide the destinies of hundreds of thousands of people.

German Method Of Preserving Eggs.
A series Of interesting experiments
In the preservation of eggs. carried on
last year in Germany. has just been
published in an Official consular report.
After eight months of preservation,
400 eggs. divided into twenty different
parcels for that many methods of ex-
pertinent, were examined, with heter-
ogenous results. Upon opening for
use. the eggs presented the following
results, according to the parcels origin
ally numbered: I. Eggs put up for
preservation in salt water were all
bad. not rotten. but uneatable, the salt
having penetrated into the eggs. 2.
Wrapped in paper. 80 per cent bad. 3.
Preserved in a solution of salicylic
acid and glycerine. 80 per cent bad.
4. Rubbed with salt, 20 per cent bad.
s. Preserved in bran, 20 per cent bad.
6. Provided with a covering of paraf-
I'm, 20 per cent bad. Z. Vanished
with solution Of glycerine and salicy-
lie acid. 20 per cent bad. 8. Put in
boiling water for twelve to fifteen Sec
onds, so per cent bad. 8. Treated
with solution of alum, so per cent
bad. 10. Put in a solution of salicylic
acid, 30 per cent bad. II. Vanished
with water glass, 40 per cent bad. II.
Vanished with collodion, 40 per cent
bad. 13. Covered with lac (probably
shellac varnish), 40 per cent bad. IA.
Vanished with sward, 20 per cent bad.
Is. Preserved in wood ashes. 20 per
cent bad. 16. Treated with boric acid
and water glass, 20 per cent bad. II.
Treated with manganate of potash. 20
per cent bad. IS. Vanished with
vaseline, all good. 10. Preserved in
lime water. all good. 20. Preserved
In a solution Of water glass, all good.
The last three methods are conse-
quently to be considered the best ones.
and especially the preservation in the
solution of water glass, as vanishing
the eggs with vaseline takes too much
time, and the treatment with lime
water sometimes communicates to the
eggs a disagreeable odor and taste.
There is one drawback with eggs pre-
served in a solution of water glass
the shell easily bursts when placed in
boiling water. It is said this may be
avoided by cautiously piercing the
shell with strong needle.

RObertson's Combination Ruaee.
Prof. Henry, in his new book on Feed
and Feeding" has this to say about
the Robertson combination Stage:
Robertson, Of the Dominion station,
Ottawa, in the effort to secure a silage
containing the nutrients of a balanced
ration. concluded that the following
mixture would prove satisfactory: Ten
tons Of green fodder corn. three tons
of English horse beans. and one and
one-half tons Of sunflower heads. To
secure the proper proportion of these
crops under Canadian conditions, for
each acre of corn there should be
planted half an acre of horse beans
and one-fourth of an acre of sunfiow-
ers. This mixture was found satisfac-
tory in feeding trials with dairy cows
and fatteEing steers. Since the horse
bean does not thrive in the United
States. except possibly in the extreme
north. some other plant must be SUBJ
stituted in mixtures of this character.
Mr.. G. F. Weston, superintendent of
the Biltmore estate, North Carolina,
reports to the writer that he has found
that one load Of cow pea vines mixed
with two loads of green corn forage
produces an excellent silage for dairy
cows"

The Butter Conflict Abroad.


The American butter-makers have q
hard fight before them in their at
tempts to capture the butter market.
In this connection the Dairy World Of
London says: The high hopes OF
American producers do not appear to
be approaching speedy realization so
far as the trade in butter with this
country is concerned, for II we take
the season represented by the first two
months of the year and compare 1t
with the preceding season, we mo
that the receipts from the unlteo
States have fallen from 46,S73 cwt. to
$40 cwt. The imports from Denmark,
Sweden and New Zealand have. on the
other hand, materially increased. An
other factor which is calculated to tell
against the American product is the
increase in the supply OF butter from
Ireland, and with this increase a de-
cided Improvement in the quality ana
uniformity Of the article, resulting
from a careful study Of the require
ments OF the English market. 1t can
not be said that American makers
have altogether hit or the taste OF
the English consumer. the preference
for a less highly favored article being
to the disadvantage Of the American
product. The competition in butter
being 90 keen. and the sources OF pro-
duction 90 numerous-thereby givtag

Timber Neck.

The newest and most fatal disease
that we know of among chickens and
turkeys is what is called Timber
neck" This name is very suggestive
of the prevailing symptoms of the dis
ease. The first trouble enc sees with
fowl is that in trying to pick up
food they seem to peck everywhere but
the proper spot. Their necks are abb
solutely so timber they have no con-
troll over their heads at all. In .
short time-often but an hour or So
they squat down, stretch their necks
out straight and when approached
make a heart-rending squawking but
are unable to lift their heads at all.
There are no symptoms of cholera or
any other fowl trouble present. We
know Of one poulterer who lost over
one thousand chickens last year, every
affected one dying. The only recon-
mendation that Timber neck" has, IL
it does its work quickly, one is never
in doubt about the matter from the
very first.-Farmers' Guide.
