Bismarck's Dread of "a State Function
In Berlin.

Berlin.-Prince Bismarck, it is re-
ported, once said to his wife: ~ will
at least take precautions in good time
against mischievous pranks being
played with my body. l should not
like to furnish what the Berlners call
a beautiful corpse in one of those
theatrical tragic-comedies, something
between village fair and church
procession. 1t would be about the
only thing that now has any terrors for
me. "
Herr Haydn, editor OF the Zukunit,
which publishes the foregoing, was one
of Prince Bismarck most intimate
friends. In the course Of the same
article, he says: 1T was in accordance
with Prince Bismarck 5 own wish that
the letter Of resignation was published
six hours after his death, because he
feared that, if it was longer delayed,
high influence might prevent its pub
LEGATION altogether. "

Chicago. The President, Cabinet
and 10000 troops will take part in
peace feast and annual mercantile
carnival in Chicago October to the
10th, unless the peace plans fail.
Business men were assured by Il. W.
Peck, Commissioner to the Paris IN
position, that President Mckinley and
the members of the national Govern.
ment has tacitly given approval Of the
plans and had let it be seen that
they not only expected a celebration OF
the kind proposed early in October, but
also that they would be willing and
glad to assist personally in the celebra-
ton.
Prominent among the events which
will fill up the days between October
81 and 18th will be the laying of the
corner stone OF the new Federal build
ing and the dedication of the imposing
peace arch. The foundations oi the
new Postofiice building are in such
shane that the cornerstone can be laid
at any time, but the ceremony is to be
deferred until October Sth, at which
time President Mckinley can be pres

skim MIIk for Chickens.

With the purpose OF studying the
effect of skim milk diet on young
growing chickens, an experiment was
conducted at the Indiana agricultural
experiment station, in which two lots
OF chickens were under observation.
There were ten chickens of two breeds in
each lot, ranging from four to six
weeks of a ge at the beginning of the
experiment. Each lot received the
same food, care and treatment, except
ing that one was fed all the skim milk
wanted, while the other was given none.
The grain fed consisted of two parts
crushed corn, one part bran and one
part ground oats. They were also fed
cracked bone, cabbage and lettuce.
When the experiment began the total
weight of one lot OF chickens was only
one-half an ounce more than the other.
The experiment lasted from July to
September 8.
The results of the feeding show that
the chickens fed milk and grain ate
some considerable more grain than did
those receiving no milk. The results
also show that the chickens OF lot re-
ceiving no milk, made an average
weekly gain Of 2.G2 ounces, while those
fed milk made gain per week of /. a
ounces, or over one-fourth pound. The
chickens fed milk made a more rapid
and uniform gain than those fed grain
only. The general results OF the feed
ing in every way seemed to show thu
superior influence of the skim milk ol
the growth OF the birds.

Rye for Pasture.

Rye may be sown for pasture either
in the fall or in the early spring. Its
function as a forage plant is to replace
or supplement the dry fall pasture

ready to be pastured. For this pur-
pose it is best sown in the fall Ii

The News "a shock to His Many Friends.
New York. A Washington special TO
the Herald says: Captain Charles E.
Clark, commanding the battleship
Oregon, has been condemned by the
Board of Medical Survey and has been
detached and granted six months leave.
Orders to this effect were issued by
Secretary Long. This was the result
of q cablegram from Rear Admiral
Sampson announcing that CAPTAIN
Clark has been i'll, and is now unfit to
remain in command of his ship. Sec

A. S. Barker, commanding the New

NAVAL CHANGES TO BE MADE
Dewey to Re Retained at the Asiatic
Station.

New York.-A Washington special
to the Herald says: Secretary Long
has announced that as soon as the war
is ended all old stations will be re-
formed. Rear Admiral Dewey will re-
main in command of the Asiatic
squadron because of his acquaintance
with the Philippine problem and his
general ability. Commodore Howell,
who was brought home from the Euro
pean station, may return there as COM
mander-in.chiei of strong force. This
leaves Rear Admiral Sampson, Commo-
dore Watson and Commodore Schley to
be provided for,
Rear Admiral Sampson will I'M
doubtedly be kept afioat, either in
command of the Northern or European
station, and command of the Pacific
station will go to either Commodore
Watson or Commodore Schley, with
the chances greatly in the former s
favor. Commodore Schley may possibly
return to his old duty as chairman OF
the Lighthouse Board.

Austrin MT IA DISADVANTAGES.

London. The Vienna correspondent
OF the Times says: The discussion of
the results has led to emphasizing the
fact that Austria is the only large
nation now represented at Washington
by Minister. 1t is believed that the
fact of France being represented by an
ambassador led to the choice of Nj.
Cambon for the peace negotiations.
While there is no reason to believe
that this circumstance had any weight
in the matter commercial circles are
beginning to think it a disadvantage
to be represented by Minister. 1t is
doubtful, however, whether the advo-
Gates OF change will be able to move
the traditional exclusiveness of the
Austrian official class when called upon
to deal with what they regard as a
community of mere traders.

WAR CLOUDS DARK.
England and Russia Sure to Clash
Unless One Backs Down.
SALISBURY WILL STAND OR FALL.
The Matter of = Franchise for the
Building of a Railroad In Asia Has
Almost PreeiPitated a War.

New York.-A cable TO the Sun
from London says: Europe has sud
denly turned from the fading tempest
in the West TO the looming war cloud
in the East. The storm has been So
long gathering that the threatening
aspect at the present moment was quite
unexpected Political meteorologists
are agreed, however, that the crisis is
very real and unless the wind speedi-
" changes the tempest will soon break.
1t is an interesting commentary npon
modern international relations that
the affair which has brought Russia
and England to the verge of war is the
matter OF franchise for the building
of u railroad in Asia. The question, Of
course, is the contamination OF a long
series of British diplomatic defeats,
but Salisbury has delivered an ultima
tum which Russia has promptly defied.
Now, it must be confessed that Sails
bury's best friends are trembling lest
he ANONYMOUSLY retreat from the posi-
ton where he has declared to the
world he will stand or fall.
! SALISBURY lrltnus, lHt press ann
public unanimously declare that the
stake is of the most momentous inn
portance. and it is difficult to believe
that the Premier will care to risk the
effects Of another retreat before Rus
sian aggression upon his supporters
at home. He has been openly warned
on all sides within the past three or
four days that any surrender or failure
to vigorously assert British interests
will speedily result in the disintegra-
ton OF the Conservative party and re-
volt from his leadership. The domes-
tic political situation is now remarka-
bly, clear of complications, and this
question of Far Eastern affairs is easily
of supreme interest.
Paris has been even more excited
over the assumed imminence OF Anglo
Russian war than London, and il may
be added that the Frenchmen are de.
lighted with the prospect. In the
meantime the reports of Russian prepa'
rations for all eventualities become
daily more numerous. The most au
thentic report is that Russia has really
secured naval base in the Red sea
: from one of King Menelekss depend
encies, the Sultanate of Raheita.

SKATERS ARMY TO BE
BROUGHT NORTH.
The War Department Will Remove the
Troops From Santiago as Rapid
ly AS Possible.

Ms
Washington Upon being informed
Of the formal request made by the
commanding Generals Of the American
Navy at Santiago to have their men re-
moved Immediately to the United
States the War Department officials
stated that this request had been an
ticipated and that the department had
been directing the best part Of its ener-
gies to the return of these troops. 1t
has therefore provided for their receP-
ton an ideal camp at N!ontauk point,
l.. l., and orders were sent forward to
begin the homeward movement by
embarking at Santiago five cavalry
regiments of Skaters forces, includ-
ing Roosevelt's Rough Riders.
1t is the intention of the depart
ment, and General Shaiter was in.
strncted to so inform the troops pub
licly, to conduct this movement as
rapidly as the resources OF the Govern
ment will permit, having a regard for
the safety OF the men themselves.
American transports now at Santiago
are as follows: Catania, 500 men;
Gate City, 600; Grand Duchess, 200;
Miami, 300; Matteawan, 72O; Vigi-
lance, 500; Olivette, 800; Berkshire,
$50; total, $40 men. These will sail
for New York as soon as they can be
comfortably embarked.
The rest at Montauk point will pre-.
pare the seasoned troops for the cam
paign against Havana, in which they
will probably take part. Five United
States volunteer regiments, immunes
have been ordered to Santiago for gar
rison duty; the first has alread.
arrived, the other are being pushed
forward as rapidly as transportation
can be furnished.
1t was pointed out at the War DE
partment that the troops cannot b
withdrawn as a whole until the Span
ish prisoners are. disposed OF. Other
wise there is no certainty that tindin
themselves able to do so, the Spaniard
would not overpower their captors, re
possess themselves OF Santiago, an
thus lose to the American army tn
small foothold in Cuba which it ha
cost so much blood and money to s,
cure. 1t is, however, the expectatio
that all OF the American troops wi
have been removed from Santiago
the United States by the end OF tn
month, and that is probably the yer
c best that can be done under the ci
cumstanees.
Every effort is being made to haste
: the departure OF the Spanish prisone
at Santiago for Spain. Enough stean
0 ers are now on the way to Cuba to tai
: all its captive Dons and it is expect'
a that within two weeks Toral's emit
s army will be on the way to Spain.

Causes OF ROup.

When a bird has catarrh, scroiula,
heart disease, consumption OF diphthe-
ria it is ascribed to roup. The dis
ease so prevalent and known as roup,
is at first catarrh, then pneumonia,
and then consumption, according to
the different stages. Tuberculous dis
ease, however, may affect the bones,
bowels and throat, as well rs the lungs.
An English experimenter asserts that
he has proved that tuberculosis in fowls
is entirely distinct from that which
affects the human family and the
mamma liam animals and that it is the
result of filthy and unhealthy sur
roundings, being contagious from fowl
to fowl, even appearing when new
fiocks are put into yards where it had
previously been, ii the yards were not
thoroughly cleansed and disiniected be-
fore the fowls We're put in. 1t has
been claimed that fowls cannot con-
tract it from the human race or from
animals, as some experiments made by
feeding them for three months on in
fective tuberculous matter from con-
sumptive human patients and from
tuberculous horses and cows indicated
Systematic cleansing and disinfectant
of poultry yards, the removal of excre-
ment, and feeding on clean surfaces,
with care in the selection of birds from
healthy situations, are means which
