Potatoes in Cold Storage.

The ideal method of keeping seed po-
tatoes is in cold storage. Potatoes thus
kept at the Ohio station have come out
sound and fresh, with no indicate lion of
sprouting, and the vitality unimpaired.
even so late as the first of June. 1t is
important, however, that the tempera-
ture of the cold storage room should
not fall below 35 degrees, nor should
it rise much above 40 degrees. When
cold storage is not available, sproutiug
may be in some measure prevented by
shoveling the potatoes over frequently.

The hickory gals are made by some
of the gall lice described by Drs. Fitch.
Walsh and Sinner and others. There
is no connection, whatever, between
these and caterpillars. There is, as yet,
no practical measure known that will
effectually prevent the attacks of these
gall lice upon the leaves of the hickory.
Beyond disfguring leaves by their APP
pearance. they do no special harm. The
caterpillars can be easily destroyed by
the timely use by arsenical poisons.-

A shoemaker who lived at Perpig-

While he worked he sang a ballad very
much in vogue at that time. A gentle
man on horseback passing by stopped
TO listen to the song. He remained
there until the shoemaker had fin

horse, approached the man, and, TAX

several pairs of new shoes, then, with

SPECULATION OVER
 THE TREATY OF PEACE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The pres ence of Senator Davis, one of the members of the Peace Commission, at the Capitol to-day was the cause of more or less peace treaty speculation among Senators.
 It is the intention of Senator Davis to ask the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions to take up the treaty as soon as it is received from the President. While it Is expected that the document will undergo careful scrutiny in committee. 1t is the general opinion that this work will be done with as much expedition as possible. There will be an effort on the part. of the friends of the treaty to have it reported without any amend ment whatever, and they assert that the committee, as whole, Is favorable to ratification without alterations.
 One present plan of the Senators op- posed. to the straight ratification is to urge the insertion of an amendment providing in specific terms that the United States shall not acquire sover- eighty over the Philippine Islands, un- der any circumstances.

TAKES A SUDDEN DEPARTURE
ENSCONCED IN AN INACCESSI-
 BILE RENDEZVOUS.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MANILA, Dec. 27-The situation here, so far as the insurgents are con- cerned, is serious. The formation of a new Cabinet has been entrusted to a Filipino named Madi, rampant ir- reconcilable of unknown antecedents and bitter opponent of Aguinaldo, es- pecially on the question of the Spanish prisoners. It is reported that Aguinaldo refused to set free the prisoners. al- though the Cabinet decided to accede to the request of General Otis for their re- lease.
 It is rumored that Aguinaldo has fled to an inaccessible region back of Ca vite, with a few followers, fearing as- sassination. The report, however. is denied, but his sudden change of base is not explained.
 A steamer which has arrived here from Samar reports that the Tagal in- surgents have been in possession of Kilbaon since December H. Business there is said to be entirely suspended, and all the Spaniards of the vicinity have sought refuge in the house of an American named Scott. The insur- gents threatened to attack the refugees, but refrained from doing so because it was reported that American soldiers were on their way there. One Spaniard. however, was shot, and another was pluckily rescued by Scott, who ran fif- teen miles and demanded the mans life in the face of the armed Tagals. who have been footing the Viscayas' stores and houses, the leaders of the insur- gents being unable to control them. All the efforts made to induce the Viscayas to join in the revolution have been fruitleSS

WILL MAKE FLAT DENIALS
General Commanding the Army Likely in Any Event to Be Severely Disci-
 plined

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald sends the following: Commissary General Eagan will be permitted to reappear before the War Investigation CoInmis- sion in refutation under oath of the al- legations made by General Miles hat much illness in the army during the war with Spain was due to chemically bad refrigerated beef served as part .Jf the rations. His letter demanding this privilege immediately after General Miles gave his unsworn testimony and following the undenied interview with him while in Cincinnati for the alleged purpose of Investigating the beef mat ter is now before the commission. The holiday recess interfered with action upon it, but it is expected that a quo- rum will be present tomorrow.
 General Eagan's letter will be the first meeting In view of the publicity given the subject by General Miles, the commission will not refuse General Eagan's request to be heard in direct contradiction to the general command ing the army.
 General Eagan will deny point blank. squarely and without evasion every inn
 
 He will swear that the sending of that beef to Cuba and Porto Rico was not an experiment; that it had long before been used in the army without causing complaints; that the alleged chemicals used in refrigerating it were not inju- rious; that neither he nor the Secre- tary of War was ever informed by Gen eral Miles that the meat was bad, and that the contract was for value re- ceived and contained no suspicion of iobbery on the part of any one.
 In this way direct issue will be taken, but the war commission can only print the differing evidence and recommend in its report a thorough sitting of the sub- feet by Presidential command. General Eagan invites trial of his action in a military or civil tribunal, and evidently is anxious for it.
 It is probable that the War Department will let the matter drop, unless General Miles independent investigation in pro- gresS discloses, when he is ready to spring his mine, unsavory and disquieting state ments. if not truths, from persons assert ing the possession of information. In any event the war commission will hold General Miles guilty of failing. as he has admitted, to direct the attention of the Secretary of War to the alleged bad beef when he was in Porto Rico and to the reports which he declares he received from officers and others protesting against the use of it.
 As contractors for the beef the Swift | Company, packers of Chicago, also to-day ! telegraphed to the commission denying each and all of General Miles assertions and asking for a chance to be heard. This, too, will be granted.

 TO BE ESTABLISHED

NEW YORK, Dec. 27-A Washington special to the Herald says: Senor Agoncillo, representative of Aguinaldo and the Philippine insurgent revolu- tionary government, accompanied by his secretary, Senor Lopez, returned to Washington to-day.
 T can say in the first place." said Senor Agoncillo, when asked concern ing his purpose in returning to Wash ington, after the failure to obtain a hearing before the Peace Commission CTS in Paris, that we return to Wash ington with the intention and purpose of remaining at the American capital until the question of the Philippines is finally and definitely settled We will shortly open in Washington a Philip pine junta, where all of the business between the American Government and the republican government of the Phil ippines, of which General Emilio Agui- naldo is the head, will be conducted.
 President Aguinaldo has dispatched three additional commissioners to Washington and they are expected to arrive here before many days. As soon as they reach this city the active work of establishing the junta will be com menced. The new commissioners are General Riego de Dios, Dr. LoZada and Senor Juan Lura. l will be president of the Washington junta.
 Our mission in Europe was by no means a failure. We were very sue cessful in many of our undertakings We established a flourishing junta in Paris and another in London, and have made arrangements for the establish ment of others in other leading Euro pean capitals.

JOE CANS GETS THE
 DECISION ON POINTS
His Bout With "Jack" Daly of Will mington Goes to the
 limit

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Joe Cans of Baltimore outpointed Jack Daily of Wilmington, Del, in a 25-round bout at 135 pounds before the Lenox Athletic Club tonight, and the referee decided in favor of the Baltimorean.
 The referees decision did not suit many of those who witnessed the contest. but conservative judges agreed that the colored boy was entitled to a favorable decision. Cans forced Daily to do the leading, and throughout the fight he countered hard. He was always on the alert for a chance to knock out his op- ponent, but the opportunity did not pre- sent itself. Cans was a topheavy fayorite in the betting but Daly's showing was a big surprise to many of those who thought that the colored man would have an easy mark in the Delaware boxer In a preliminary bout Jim Janey (colored) of Baltimore defeated Dan Sullivan of Bos- ton in four rounds easily.
