HAMBURG, July 27.-The health Of Prince
Bismarck is again causing his friends I'M
easiness. He has been confined to his bed
for three days and suffers from insomnia.
Besides, his physician, DR.. Schweniger, and
Counts Herbert and William Bismarck, with
their wives, are now at Friederichsruhe.
BERLIN, July 27.-The Taglish Rungzae,
a conservative newspaper of this city, issues
an extra with the following telegram from
DR.. Schweninger, Prince Bismarck's
physician, in answer to an inquiry as to
the truth of the report that the prince is
dying:
1t is all nonsense. He sleeps well and
otherwise his condition is unchanged.
The Hamburgische correspondent says:
Prince Bismarck passed a good night. He
slept seven hours without interruption.
The swelling of his limbs has been radical.
Count William leaves Frederichsruhe on
Saturday, but DIR. Schweninger will remain

BRING NEWS OF THE SOLDIERS
Manila Transports Stop Mt Honolulu
minister seweii for Governor
of the Islands,

SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-The steamer
Mariposa has arrived from Australia and
Honolulu, bringing the following corre-
spondence to the Associated Press:
HONOLULU, July 20.-The steamer Coptic
arrived from San Francisco on the evening
Of July 1S with the important news that
the United States senate had ratified the
Newlands resolution, making Hawaii a part
of the United States. Long before the
vessel reached the harbor IL was known
that the steamer brought annexation news,
the information being signaled to the
Mohican. The fire whistle and the whistles
of foundries, mills and steamers were
turned loose and p~andemonium reigned.
Fireworks were set Off. In the midst of the
noise 100 guns were fired on the grounds of
the executive building. At the same time
the Hawaiian bands started out and marched
through the streets to the wharf playing
American patriotic airs. An immense pro-
cession was formed and the march was
made to the executive building.
President Dole was at his beach home
when the steamer was sighted. He hurried
into town and reached the wharf as the
steamer tied up. Captain Sealby of the
Coptic was presented with a silver cup by
the citizens of Honolulu for bringing the
news. The cup bore the inscription:
Annexation. Presented by the citizens to
Captain Inman Sealby, r. N. r., who
brought the good news to Honolulu"
The leading men of Honolulu met today
and recommended Harold M. Sewell. United
States minister to Hawaii, for governor of
the islands. 1t had been generally thought
that President Dole would be their choice.
William sullivan, a corporal Of Company
l., Minnesota volunteers, is dead here.
When the last fleet of transports passed
through here he was left at the local
hospital for treatment for typhoid fever. He
received the best of care, but on the 18th
death ensued. The Ohio, Para, Valencia
and Indiana, four vessels of the third fleet
Of transports which returned to Honolulu
on account of an accident to the Indiana,
were delayed here about twenty-four hours
and sailed again for Manila on the 9th.
There was some defect in the boilers of the
Indiana.
The Monadnock and the Nero sailed on
the 18th. During the Monitors stay in
port Captain Whiting had considerable
change made in its condensing apparatus
and In means for ventilating the engine
and boiler rooms. On the trip down the
engineers and firemen suffered greatly from
the heat.
E. L. Greene of Portland, Ore, who
shipped as a stoker on the Monadnock, was
sent to the insane asylum on the 18th inst.
Greene is a doctor Of dental surgery and
had a lucrative practice when the war
broke out. He has a brother who graduated
at the Annapolis naval academy and is with
the fleet off Santiago. 1t is believed the
rest he will get there and the care he will
receive will speedily restore him. Greene's
condition is a result of excessive heat in
the fire room and a fall from a hammock.

NORTH CAHOLINA's CONTRIBUTION.
Work of the Experimental Farm of
the state shown in Detail.

the Stnte shown I'm Detail.
The North Carolina exhibit is of especial
interest to many of the visitors to the expo
sition, first because there are so few of the
southern etates represented here, but more
especially because 1t is unique in character.
representing as 1T does the work of the ex-
perimental farm of the State Horticultural
society.
This farm Is located sixty-six miles south
west OF Raleigh on the Seaboard Air Line
railroad and occupies two plots, aggregating
about 120 acres. The object Of this expert
mental work is the systematic study OF
plant foods and the most profitable and
economical methods OF using them in the
growth of fruits, garden vegetables, peanuts
and tobacco, and the exhibit attempts to
illustrate the essential elements of such
foods and some of the results obtained at the
farm.
1t consists of photographs, maps and paint
ings. of fruits, vegetables and tobacco and
of the various fertilizing materials used,
also the same in their native state. AS is
generally known. the three most essential
elements of plant food are phosphorlc acid
potash and nitrogen. The phosphoric acid
Is obtained from bones and from the native
phosphate rock which is found in great
abundance in North Carolina, Tennessee,
South Carolina and Florida. The chief
sources OF potash are the Stassfurt salt mines
of Germany, while the crude ~nitrates, cot
ton-sced meal, dried blood and fish and meat
scrap furnish nitrogen. These when mixed
In certain proportions form what is CONNER
cially known as a complete fertilizer.
The light sandy soils about Southern
Pines. where these experiments are being
carried on and which were formerly thought
to be wholly unproductiye, have with proper
fertilization and culture given most encour-
aging results aud have not only attracted
the attention of the farmers and fruit grow
ers of North Carolina but also of some OF
the northern states, To many western peo-
pie, who come from farms where the soil is
already black with fertility, the idea OF
grinding up ordinary looking rock. treating
1t with sulphuric acid and mixing this with
materials furnishing nitrogen and with pot
ash salts shipped all the way from Germany
and then applying this mixture to the soil
to furnish nourishment for the growing
crops Is an entirely new one. This is only
illustrative Of a law OF nature, that where
the essential elements of plant food are not
present they must be supplied and also
teaches that II farmers continue to take this
plant food from the soil in the form of ma
tured crops and return nothing in its place

GRANT is SLOW IN MOVING
His Brigade Unable TO Get Away from
Chickamauga as Soon
AS Expected.

CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Tenn, July 27.-
Owing to an unexpected and unexplainable
delay in loading the First Kentucky regi-
ment did not leave Rossyille station until
an early hour this morning. The move
ment OF Grants brigade is unusually slow
and the indications now are that the Third
Kentucky, the last regiment, will not get
out before tomorrow afternoon or night. The
Fifth Illinois and Third battalion of the
Sixteenth Pennsylvania broke camp at an
early hour this morning and spent the day
loading at Rossville. General Grant and
staff will leave tonight. The entire brigade
was expected to get out yesterday, but the
officers found it impossible to get it of.
No orders have been issued for other
commands TO move, but 1t is probable that
the First brigade of the Second division will
get away about the last of the present week.

VIII lie LarScIy Reduced.

WATERFOWL, s. d., July 21-Thirty
thousand acres of crops were destroyed or
greatly damaged by a hail storm in Cooling
ton county last night. The scope of the
storm was six miles wide and about TWEEN
ty-iye miles long.
Many farmers lost every acre OF grain.
The list will reach 100 in this county. The
same storm reached Clark county. The
storm passed through or touched eight
townships in the northern part OF this
county. Ten days more and the farmers
would have been cutting the finest crop
ever harvested in this section. Now the
yield will be nearly a half million bushels
less.

WASHINGTON, July 27.--The president
by tomorrow will communicate our answer
to SPANS peace proposal to Ambassador
Cambon. If Spain gives assurance that an
armistice will be followed by a treaty of
peace on certain general lines it is prob
able that the president will agree to an
armistice.
The administration is carefully deliberat-
ing over the formal reply to be made to
the peace message presented through the
French ambassador. This afternoon the
president, with Secretary Of State Day and
Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith,
went over the situation and reviewed the
course to be taken. Weight is to be given
to the counsels of the postmaster general,
owing to his diplomatic experience and
study of International questions. a final
conclusion will not be reached until the
cabinet has an opportunity to take UP SPANS
note and our projected answer. There win
be no extra session of the cabinet, and the
matter will not be placed before the presi-
dents advisers until Friday, when a reply
will be definitely settled. The Spanish gov
eminent will have the answer of the ad-
ministration in its possession by Friday
night or Saturday morning. Secretary Day
on leaving the White House, after today's
conference, said it was probable that an
swer would be made the latter part OF this
week.
Mr.. Day smiled when asked as to the
terms to be proposed, and said: you will
all know that in time"
Intended for Home Consumption.
LONDON, July 27.-The cquivocal deGials
from Madrid recently when inquiries were
made on the subject of reported peace
negotiations were seemingly given out at
the Spanish capital pr'o: to Spain's formal
applications at Washington for peace. Many
similar communication intended for home
consumption may be expected during the
negotiations, but the only purpose OF such
denials is to allay Caslilian susceptibilities
and they will not affect the real point at
issue.
The liveliest satisfaction il expressed in
all quarters and in the newspapers through
out Europe at the fact that Spain has at last
done the right thing for tie first time during
the war, and peace is looke1 upon as being
within measurable distance.
1t is taken for granted that the opening
of negotiations implies a cessation of
hostilities, and it is believed here that the
United States was at first unofficially APP
preached and gave a general idea of the con
ditions it would insist upon before NJ. Cam
bon, the French ambassador, presented his
note, and that the formal negotiations will
consist chiefly of the formulation of terms
already practically settled.

that 1t has been occupied with the question
OF peace. Premier Sagasta contradicts the
statement that official negotiations are in
progress; but the foreign office announces
that negotiations due to private initiative
are proceeding.
The big rise in prices on the bourse here
today is looked upon as denoting great con-
fdence that peace between Spain and the
United States will be concluded.

Another point is this, Judge Hatn'l'
ton has seven or eight months OF MS
term yet to serve. 1t is admitted that
there are no charges against MN, IL
that he is to be removed for political
reasons only-in other words, simply to
make room for some Republican who is
to be rewarded for political services. 1
do not believe, whatever may be said as
to political offices, that judicial posi-
tions should be thus prostituted. Judge

under these circumstances.

Sunday at the Omaha Exposition.

The religious press of the west is very
much exercised over the probability that
the exposition at Omaha, which begins
the 1st of next month, will keep its
gates open on Sunday and is urging
upon all good and moral people the
necessity of a combined effort to pre-
vent such a catastrophe. 1t is the old
FIGHT made Oh the Worlds fair at Chi
cage in 1892 and 1893 over again. with q
new base of operation.
1t will be remembered at that time the
UNCONVENTIONAL papers and many pull
pits predicted dire disaster would result
to the nation if the gates to the grounds
were allowed to swing inward on the
Sabbath, and the feeling against open
| ing the exhibits to visitors on that day
| was carried so far that ministers stood
In their pulpits and prayed that a pun
| ishment should be sent upon the nation,
even to the shedding of blood, should
| the grounds not be closed on Sunday.
| The Chicago exposition was opened, the
gates were not closed on the Sabbath,
five years have since elapsed and the
| predicted plaques have not visited the
| nation so far as any one can see. Or
| the other hand, thousands of person!
were permitted to see tho %grandeSt dis
play tho world has eyer known, who
had the management adopted anothe
policy, would have been deprived of tina
privilege. That the moral effect OF
Sunday spent on the exposition ground
was probably more %clevating than ha'
the same day been devoted to sport
and railroad trips to resorts and pleas
ure grounds cannot be questioned. Th
result will doubtless be the same witt
the Omaha show.
The world has either advanced or re
t%rogaded, call the change whicheve
way suits individual taste the better, t.
a stage where each man thinks for him
self and acts accordingly. If the Oman
managers decide to keep the expositiol
open on Sunday, which ~undoubtedl
will be done, the man who thinks
wrong to go on that day is not compelle
to, and on the other hand the perso
who can not attend on what are know
as week days, will enjoy an equal priv

ROOSEVELT'S ROUGH RIDERS.
The Brownies May Not Make a Good APP
pearance Oh Parade, But for Fighting
and Active Service They Will Have
No Superiors on Earth.
From the Denver Republican.

From the Denver Republican,
A correspondent of an English paper,
writing from San Antonio, Tex, makes
sport of Roosevelt's rough riders, who
are gathered at that place preparatory
! to going to the front. Evidently they do
not impress him as cavalry soldiers OF
| much account.
This may be accepted as one of many
| Illustrations OF European ignorance of
| what the Americans may accomplish or
be fit to discharge. 1T is, however,
somewhat surprising that an English
man should fall into this error. English
| men, as a rule. understand the people
Of this country better than most other
| Europeans. and one would expect them
to recognize merit, ever though it might
! not be presented in exactly the way that
a European army officer would ordinari-
ly expect to see it. -.
AS a matter of fact the Roosevelt
rough riders will demonstrate. it they
shall be given an opportunity, that they
are as efficient cavalry material as any
one could find in the world. The cow
bows of the far west are among the best
riders in the world, and everybody
KNOWS butl tlty ain "h'oho
shots, especially with the revolver and
rifle. They have had a great deal OF
experience in outdoor life, and so a
campaign would not present many new
conditions to them. The men who have
been recruited in the east are of a very
different type, but they have made
speciality of riding and shooting, ane
they will in both these particulars ranl
well with their comrades from Arizona
Texas and New Mexico. Practically thu
same is true of most of the rough rider'
whom Col. Torrey will organize in thi
state and Wyoming.
r Critics of these men should bear II
t mind that a snowy appearance is no par
of their claim. They do not pretend t
look like gayly decked and plume
) knights. They arc in the wal not TO
1 show, but for business, and though the.
: may not look so imposing as some o
the horse guards or hussars of Europea.
armies, they will ride better and shoe
} with truer aim. This, by the way. Is
! point which should be borne in mind /
considering any class of American so
diers. They may not make a fine al
pearancc on dress parade, but fo
fighting they have no superiors in tn

THE NEW COMPILED LAWS.
Greatly Needed by Officials and Lawyers
A Fine Book from a Typographical
Standnoint.
From the San Marcial Bee.

From the San Marcial Bee.
The Compiled Laws of 1897 have been
printed and are ready for distribution.
The price has been fixed at $3.50 per
volume and volumes can be purchased
by application to tho public printer or
tho territorial librarian at Santa Fe.
There are no free copies except for the
36 members of the Thirty-second legis-
lative assembly. The work reflects
great credit on the public printer. Mr..
j. d. Hughes, and On the New Mexican
Printing company that did tho work on
contract with the public printer. The
volume contains about 1900 pages, is
printed beautifully from new type,
bound strongly and tastefully, and very
fine book paper and material through
out have been used for the book. Com
petent lawyers inform the Bee that the
work of compilation was well and faith
fully done and the index is very good.
1t is conceded all around that a COM
pill ation or a revision of the laws for the
territory wa greatly needed, and as a
revision could not be put through the
last legislative assembly, a compilation
was the next best thing to it. The ter.
ritory, by selling the volumes at the
price fixed, which is very reasonable,
will be at no expense in the matter, as
more than enough volumes will be sold
to pay the cost of the work. The
Thirty-second legislative assembly
passed a very good and greatly needed
law when it provided for the compila.
ton of the laws of the territory, and the
public printer did a first-class job in
printing the same, while the compilation
committee did a comprehensive, intelli.
gent and useful work.
