GENEROUS TERMS.
Her Remarkable Statement to the
Press, Which Is Somewhat I'm

Patriots to Save Spain From Am
erican Rapacity-Visit to Madrid.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 1S.-Miss Jessie
Schley, who went to Spain as a dele
gate Of the Women's International
League for Peace, in an effort to bring
the war to a close, issued a statement
to the American press today, in which
she takes the credit of influencing Spain
to sue for peace The letter follows:
ITO the American Press: Until now
I have not given proof to substantiate
my claim that we women, especially we
American women, made the peace be-
tween Spain and our country. L prom
ised to do so after the treaty of peace
was signed, but have concluded to give
it now.
The facts are these: I reached Ma
drid as delegate of the Women's Inter
national League for Peace, and bearing
the list of names and resolutions for
her majesty, the queen of Spain, on
July %. 1 at once began visiting and
comforting with prominent officials. On
the 22rd his excellency, the minister
of state, Due d'Almodovar del Rio, re-
CRESTED me to put IN writing the mat
te: I desired to convey to him. | did
SO, and sent it to him on the 18th. On
that day or the following, [ iad$ej
from the newspaper reports, the
queens cabinet <of which the due is a
member) discussed this communication
in their netting, and that day THE
26th) Spain sued for peace.
THE next day, The 9TH, was hUr-
fied out of Madrid, fearing riot against
NE, when it should become known that
Spain had made oveftlmes Of peace. 1t
was feared the Carlists or spanish jim
goes might make tro1b'e then, and
they had already begun to look for ME.
The afternoon OF the day I left I re-
eeved a courteous lettet from the Due

state Of foreign affairs, in which he
says:

TRAIN ROBBER SHOT DEAD.
Santa Fe Express Messengers Were
Loaded For Bandits.

Barstow, Cal, Nov 19.-The first sec
ton of west-bound Santa Fe train No.
q was stopped two miles west of Dag
gett early this morning by men secreted
in the tender of the engine. Engineer
Bunnell was confronted by two forty
five-caliber revolvers, and ordered to
stop, but this order. was countermanded
and the train proceeded for another
mile, and was then brought to a stand
still at the command of the robbers,
who evidently expected to meet pals at
this point. In this they were disap-
pointed, and the robbers ordered Engi-
neer BunneH to carry a twenty-pound
bag of dynamite to the express car.
Messengers Hutchinson and Blakeley
appeared at the door of the express
car armed with guns. The robbers fired
at Blakeley, who, locating them by the
flash of their guns, returned the fire,
killing one robber. The dead mans
left eye and all that side of his head
was torn away. The other robbers
stampeded and made their escape. A
posse is in pursuit, and it is expected
that at least one of them will be cap
tured shortly. The dead man has not
been identified. It is thought that the
men were novices at the train-robbing
game. They secured no booty.

CROPS FOR ALASKA.
Important Experiments Conducted
By Department. of Agriculture.

-
Washington, Nov Experiments
with view to determining the adapt
ability of variety of food products of
the United States to the soil of Alaska
have been conducted during the past
season by the department of agricul-
ture. Congress, stimulated by the large
immigration to that country, because
OF the Klondihe gold discoveries, ap-
propriated $4,000 for the purpose of
making the experiments referred to,
which have been conducted by Profess
sor c. Georgeson, the special agent of
the bureau of experiment stations. The
professor has just returned from Sitka,
where he made his headquarters during
his stay in Alaska, and he brings in
teresting reports of the possibilities of
the soil in the vicinity of the capital
of the country. Professor GeorgeSon
succeeded in growing and maturing
oats, barley, fax, potatoes and a num-
Der Of vegetables. He also planted
grasses and cloVerS, which made con-
siderable growth in the comparatively
short season they were in the ground.
1t has been commended that oats, barley,
fax, etc, could not be matured during
the season, and that good potatoes
could not be produced, but the expert
mentS show to the contrary. The po-
tatoeS We're of q, very desirable quality
and some of them were brought to this
city and tested, and found to be SUI

in this vicinity. Reservations of lands
for future experiments were made in

in the Cook Inlet region. Some expert

MURDERED BY WHITECAPS.
Inoffensive Colored Citizen Shot
Down In Tennessee.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov ia spe-
cial to the News from Nashville says:
John Smart, a we'll disposed colored
citizen, living at Chapeltown, one and
a half miles from Smartts station, in
Warren county, Tennessee, was shot
and killed by Whitecaps last night. The
Whitecaps had served notice upon
Mack Smartt, son of the old man. At
a late hour twenty three men visited
his house. Mack was ordered to come
out, but refused, whereupon coal oil
was poured on the side of the house,
but not ignited. A torch was lighted
and placed near the house and old man
Smartt, thinking the house was on fire,
rushed out into the yard, where he was
shot, and died instantly. The weapon
used was a shotgun, both barrels of
which were discharged.
The Whitecaps rode away immedi-
ately after the killing.

Vessels In the Navy.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Complete ar
rangements have been made to put the
cruiser Chicago in commission at New
York on the 1st proXimo. Her compile
ment of officers was announced today

one Of the most formidable vessels in
the American navy. Her speed has
been materially increased and her ar
NOR and armament greatly strengthen
ed. It is possible that she may be at

have been the recommendations pre-
sented to the Secretary of the Navy for
promotion or recognition in some other
suitable manner of American sailors,
officers and enlisted men who have so
nobly distinguished themselves during
the present war that Secretary Long
has now determined to create special
board for the purpose of considering
all such cases on their merits. This
was q practice adopted after the civil
war had progressed some time to avoid
charges of discrimination that had be-
gun to be made in many cases. While
this naval board will consider the great
mass of cases on favorable recommen-
dation, in some few instances the Presi-
dent and Secretary Long will reserve
to themselves the right of independent
action-such, for instance, as that in
the case Of Lieut.. Hobson.

Facts About the IIiwaiian Islands.

The latest and fullest information
relative to the newly acquired territory
of the United States, the Hawaiian Is
lands, has just been given to the pub
lie in special publication by the Bu-
reau of Statistics. 1t consists of q Sc
ries of statements relative to the peo-
pie of the islands their number, ma
tivity, occupations, productions, expor-
tations, purchases from other parts of
the world, the share which the United
States has in their commerce, the
methods of raising revenue and the
amount annually collected and dis
bursed, the indebtedness, currency,
postal system, railroads and shipping,
freight and passenger rates to and from
the United States, wages paid in vari-
GUS employments and prices of provi-
sions and other necessaries of life. A
part of this information is in the form
of statistical statements of the COM
merce OF the Islands during long pc
riod of years; q portion from the Ha-
waiian Year Book and other publica-
tions of that character, and a part from
late report to the State Department
by Consul General Haywood, and
which, taken together, present the
latest and most complete statement of
the conditions and business prospects
in our new territory that has been Civ
en- to the public.
Hawaii, it is shown by this statement
at present imports almost everything
she uses, aside, of course, from sugar,
coffee, and fruits, attention having been
almost exclusively given to the raising
of sugar, all Of which, aside from that
consumed in the islands, is exported to
the United States. Indeed, the United
States in 1896 took 1894 per cent. of
the entire exports of the islands and
supplied 1921 per cent. Of all imports,
and Consul General Haywood, in his
report, expresses the opinion that, in
case of annexation, over 95 per cent. Of
the imports into the islands would be
the growth, product or manufacture Of
the United States, and adds that, if the
American tariff were in force in the
islands, about 100000 worth of i'm.
ports, which now enter free of duty,
and are bought in countries other thar
the United States, would be bought
from this country, the free importation
of fertilizers and coal alone in 1896
amounting to $466, 1919.
