NICARAGUA CANAL.
Thought to Have Been Discussed by
Mckinley and Iglesias.

Washington, December president
Igleslas, of Costa Riea, in company with
Minister Calvo, called at the state depart
ment this afternoon. After exchanging
greetings with Secretary Hay the minister
retired to the waiting room and a private
consultation took place between the presi-
dent and secretary lasting about an hour
and half. Owing to the privacy of the
meeting nothing could be learned as to the
subject under discussion, but surmise
places 1t as the Nicaragua canal project.
Probably, too, there was some talk about
the disruption of the new United States of
Central America, which may in manner
have to be taken into account in connection
with any canal project that the administra-
tion deems proper to bring to the attention
of congress at the approaching session.
One effect of the change to the state of
the old independent nations is to restore at
once to the exercise of their full functions
two of our ministers who have, been much
cramped in the discharge of their duties
Minister Merry, who was able to announce
the breakup of the combination which had
kept him from recognition as United States
minister to Salvador and Nicaragua, has
been residing in Costa Rica, country to
which he was also accredited and will now
be in position without congressional act, 1t
is thought to present his credentials to the
governments of Nicaragua and Salvador.
Minister Hunter, who has been living in
Guatemala as minister there, will likewise
be able to present himself as minister to
Honduras as well. thus restoring the old
relations between those countries and the
United States.

cultural colleges, the education of our peo-
pie has not been designed to prepase them
for producing from the soil. Nothing Is
being done TX most OF the common schools
OF the state to cultivate a taste and lead
the mind to inquire into and sum up facts
regarding nature, SO that the young farmer
may be directed into the path that leads to
education concerning his future life work
The teacher should be educated for his

The report suggests that the greatest diff
fculties are to overcome the conservatism
of the local boards managing country
schools and to get competent teachers. This
scientific educational subject is exhaustive
ly discussed, and while there is no universi-
ty where young farmers may pursue gradu-
alton studies in all the sciences relating to
production, the scientific divisions of the
department of agriculture, 1t is urged to
some extent can provide post graduate
facilities. The capacity in the department
is limited but assistants are often tempted
to accept higher salaries in other institu-
lions and the opening of the laboratories to
post graduate work would provide an eiigi-
BILE list to fill vacancies as they occur, sup
ply temporary agents and also furnlsn
scientific assistants in state institutions.

The Animal Industry
The report announces that the bureau OF
animal industry has perfected a dip which
takes the fever typhus from cattle, so they
can be moved north at any season. that II
has continued experiments with anti-toxine
serum to prevent and cure hog cholera and
it is recommended that this discovery nav
ing been made by public officials at puphc
expense should not be diverted to private
cost and that the serum manufacture
should be continued under government con-
troll at least for some years to come. The
Texas fever dipping stations will be estab-
lished at convenient points before the next
quarantine season. The results from the
black leg vaccine indicate the percentage OF
loss in herds has been reduced from 10 to
20 per cent to less than l per cent. This
indicates that if generally used it will tend
to eradicate the disease completely. De-

QUARANTINE HAS
BEEN REMOVED
Railroads Hauling Cattle to the
Grazing Fields.
FEW GOING FROM ALABAMA
Ringing Bros Circus Has Disbanded
The Southern Has Put On Din
ing Car Service Between Char
lotte and Washington.

The state of Kansas yesterday removed
its quarantine against cattle imported from
all points south of that state. Missouri
still has its quarantine on and will keep it
SO indefinitely. The national quarantine
against shipping cattle from the southern
states to the northern states, was removed
on November 10 and will be off until jan
uary Is. The two states mentioned were
the only ones having Individual quaran-
tines.
The cattle shipments from the SOUTH and
especially from Alabama, will not be any
thing near as large this year as they were
last, owing to the fact that there are no
more cattle left in the state to ship, as
nearly all that were to be had in Alabama
were taken to the western grazing fields
last fall and winter.
The Importance of the cattle-raising in
dustry is being realized more and more by
the people of the state, and 1t is thought
that 1t will be the matter of only few
years before Alabama's expectation of cat
tie will assume very large proportions.
News has been received by the railroads
that Ringing Brothers circus which had
dates to give performances in Selma, Tus-
caloosa and several other Alabama cities,
disbanded in Aberdeen, Miss. on November
49, The circus season was to have lasted
only about ten days longer, anyhow, but
owing to the long stretch of rainy weather
into which it had fallen, 1t was decided to
disband without filling it's other engage
ments.

of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birming-
ham railroad is expected in Birmingham

MEANS MUCH TO JAPAN.
Possession of Wei Hal Wei Gives Her
a Long Coveted Foothold on
the Continent.

Washington, Feb. 11.--Nefther the Chi
nese nor the Japanese legation here has
received notice of Japan purpose to hold
Wei Hal Wei. 1t is stated at the latter
that Wei Hal Wei is now occupied by the
Japanese under the terms of the peace
settlement by which this strong point is
to remain in the possession of Japan until
the full indemnity is paid. Of this in
demnity a. specific payment of Is million
taels has already been. paid for Japan S
evacuation of Port Arthur. Another 100
million taels has been paid in bulk as
part of the indemnity. Still another 100
million taels was included. This last
was to be spread over six years and the
been paid. The balance due is five an
nual installments of about "A million taels
each. Legation officials say that if the
reported arrangement is made It will ap-
ply to these five inStallments.
In other quarters the reported action
of Japan is considered as most significant,
as it acconplishes the purpose Japan had
in view when the China war was closed,
namely, to secure permanent foothOid
on the mainland of Asia. Russia resisted
this extension of Japan from her present
island condition and it required the COM
bined protest of Russia. Germany and
France to induce Japan tC give up Port
Arthur and her foothold on the Laio Tung
peninsula. Wei Hal Wei is less import-
ant as a strategic position, but it has al
ways been held by China as second only
to Port Arthur as a naval station. The
defensive works, although badly shattered
from the great naval battle at that point,
have been kept in a fair state of preser-
walton by the Japanese force now main
tanned there.

GAINS HIS POINT.
ZOla's Counsel Makes Plain to
the Jury
That Dreyfus Was Convicted by
a Secret Document.
CABINET MINISTER'S
Put on the Witness Stand One
After Another.
Many Ladies' Present in Spring
Costumes.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE excitement
heightens daily over the outcome of the
unequal conflict between two angry
parties in the ZoIa trial, one anxious
that the chose juge, whether legal or
not, should remain intact, and the 9TH
er that law and justice should be re
spected, even at the expense of the
chose juge.
The latter party is a very small mi
nority, in strange and pathetic pre-
dicament, for while, unless it can prove
injustice in the Dreyfus and Esterhazy
cases, M. ZoIa must be condemned, yet
the court will not allow him the means
to prove the injustice
NJ. Laborie, therefore, is fighting to
impress the jury with the unfairness of
the whole proceedings, looking to the
attitude of the general public on the
case. However, it is evident that he
has a difficult task before him.
The aspect of the court is little
changed, though many ladies in SPRING
like toilets gave a touch of color to the
scene.
The chief interest centered in General
PeIlieux's statement. He spoke for
twenty minutes and was listened to in
silence until he referred to the forger-
les, when the audience INDUCED in tu-
multuOus conflicting comments. His
statements produced profound i'm
preston, which however, was partially
destroyed by NJ. Laborie's and NJ. Gle
menceau's subsequent examination.
The feature of the days proceedings
was the persistency with which M.
Laborie forced to the witness bar prom
fnent men, with a view of convincing
the jury of the existence of q, secret
document.
In addition to the Judges and officials
Of the court martial that tried DreyfuS
no fewer than six members of the Du-
puy cabinet, including M. Dupuy, M.
Guerin and NJ. Dovelle were put on the
stand. All retired after saying moth
ing, the judge refusing them permission
to touch the Dreyfus case. The pro-
Cession became Inirthful, but NJ. La
borie gained his point It is impossible
not to be convinced that Dreyfus was
convicted on a secret document. After
each days proceedings a report of the
case is teIegraphed to Emperor Will
liam.
THE CUSTOMARY CROWDS.
There were the usual crowds about
the assizes court of the Seine today
when the fifth day of the trial of M.
Zola and Perreux commenced. NJ ZoIa
tile cries on their arrival. The court
was thrOnged. The proceedings opened
with the recall of Gen. Pelleux
Gen. Pelleux testified that Gen. Saus-
sier, the former military governor of
Paris desired a public trial for Major
Esterhazy, but Gen. BillOt the minister
for war ordered that the trial be Sc
cret.
Nevertheless the witness added the
court martial refused to keep the entire
