THE RED DESERT.
Report on Its Crosses and Forage
Plants By Prof. Nelson.

The Republican is in receipt of Bull
letin No. Is of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, Division of
Agrostology, entitled The Red Desert
of Wyoming and Its Forage Re-
soures,' by Aven Nelson, professor of
botany in the University of Wyoming.
In his letter of transmittal to the
secretary of agriculture. Mr.. F. Lam
son-Scribner, the agrostologist, says:
THE Red desert of Wyoming is a
waterless area. During the summer
season it is practically u~nihabitable,
and a visitor at this time
would doubt very much wheth-
er the region could be util-
lied in any way, especially as a stock
range, but as a mater of fact this Red
desert actually affords excellent winter
pasturage. Here are fed the herds and
focks of adjacent summer ranges, and
many of the stockmen in northwestern
Colorado, eastern Utah, and southern
Idaho find this region a desirable place
to winter their stock, especially their
sheep. So far as I am aware, we have
in this report the first presentation of
the value of the Red desert and other
similar regions which occur in the in
terror of large continents as ranges for
stock, and the ccoun given OF the
various forage plants upon which
thousands Of cattle and sheep Craze
during the winter months can not fail
TO be of interest"
Prot. Nelson made three trips through
the desert and presents an exhaust
i've report on the results OF his investi-
cation. A large list OF the grasses and
forage plants CT the region Is given, to-
gether with a short description of each
plant. There is also a partial list Of
the flora Of the Red desert, and mum
erous illustrations accompany the text.
Prof. Nelson has already acquired a
national reputation for his botanical
work and his assignment by the depart
ment OF agriculture to an investigation
Of such Importance is only another evi-
dence CT his recognized proficiency in
this branch of science.

There is an old maxim which reads:
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn-
ed There is a screed going the rounds
Of the democratic press. originating in
che Lander Mountaineer, which is ed
tied by a woman, attacking Judge
Knight. The article does not bring any
specific charge against the judge, but
sails at him generally like an old fish
wife, and is SO vindictive, SO venomous,
SO malignant in its tone that it called
to mind this old proverb and raises the
query whether the author had some
personal grievance of her own. II a
witness should go on the stand in a
court Of justice and give his Tor her)
testimony against a person charged
with a crime, using such language and
manifesting such a vindictive spirit, 1t
would net have much weight against
the defendant. in the minds OF the jury,
and the court would probably order 1t
stricken from the record. 1t may be the
proper way to edit a democratic %
these times. but OF course it sounds
worse coming from a woman, lust as II
shocks our sensibilities worse to hear
a woman swear, see them drink or find
them edited a democratic paper than
for a man to do the same thing.
The supreme court of our state has
always been republican. It has had
several political questions come before
1t. and we believe that in every one of
them its decisions have been in favor Of
the democratic contestants. II has stood
up so straight it has leaned over back
wards, as the old saying is. The repub-
licans have always acquired in these
rulings and. under the circumstances,
1t would cen as though the democrats
need not open their mud batteries on
that branch Of the government, but
they can't help 1t. It appears to be
the nature Of the beast"

Returning to the head mans house
Hayes called the people together,
and urged them to do two things
burn their village and all the cloth
ing which had been given to them
by the teachers, and build new
village on Takai, one of the other
islets OF the atoll; for there the
trade wind blew through the forest
all day and night. And then, he
said, il more people died they should
bury them in deep, very deep graves.
"If you do not do this, then there
will not be one Of you left in thirty
days from now. Have you ever
known this sickness beforeP
NO." they answered, it was a
strange new sickness to them, but
had been sent to them by God as a
punishment for 80 long living in
heathenism."
"Who told you this9" said Hayes
quickly.
"The teachers told u.s."
Hayes made a few vigorous re-
marks to the teachers, and then
turned away in disgust and walked
quickly to the boat, reckoning to
the head men to come with him.
Half an hour later he sent them on
shore again with such medicine and
provisions as he could spare. Then

A WAR LOAN.
Secretary Gage Thinks One Would be
 Taken in This Country.

Washington, April 9.-Treasury off cials, from Secretary Gage down, are watching with grim kind of humor the eagerness with. which European financiers are Joking forward to being able to gobble up big loan of United States gold bonds in case of war with Spain.
 Secretary Gage does not believe, and President Mckinley agrees with him. that it will be necessary for the United States to palce a war loan in Europe. It is confidently believed by both the president and Secretary Gage that a popular subscription could be secured for almost any amount of bonds to be floated by this country These bonds would be payable in coin and would bring as much here as abroad, prob ably more.
 It is thought probable that the first issue of these bonds would be for $10O,- 100000, to be followed by other issues as the money should be needed. The treasury thinks the patriotism of this country would lead to a speedy ab- sorption of these bonds. It is be- lieved that total of s5O0,00O,000 in bonds could be floated among the peo- pie of this country.

Ambassador at Vienna Gives
 Rein to His Tongue
SPAIN WHIPPED THE MOORS
She is Therefore Ready to
 Warm Up the Americans
The Conflict Might ba Her Ruin But Her Arrogant Enemy Would Realize that he had Attended a Fight.

London, April 9.-An Ambassador to the Court of St. James has given to the Neuve Wiener Tageblatt of Vienna, remarkable interview. Though not named, he is evidently the Spanish Ambassador, because when he speaks of what Spain can do he says we" :" He makes a statement to the effect that the negotiations between the United States and Spain have been formal and verbal, and that the ne gotiations did not even contain sug- gestion of Cuban independence. The question of the Maine was entirely separate The United States had said in a friendly way that the disaster was merely regarded as sad episode in international history.
 The matter of settlement was left entirely with Spain. Spain replied that she was willing to submit the matter to arbitration, and overtures to friendly states had already begun, with this object in view. He says the Spanish official world ardently de sires peace, but the whole nation is de i termined in case of war to carry it to the bitter end. He says:
 "The last years would probably be our ruin, for our resources are already nearly exhausted, but the damage i which would be done to America by g war lasting several years would be yet more enormous. Any government ol dynasty that would venture to con- vorable to Spain would be swept away immediately by a popular wave of in. dignation."
 i He edver.a urssE the "sinconauerablc doggedness" of the Spainard in fight ing, and proves it by telling how the 600 years struggle and the stand made against Napoleon. He also says tha1
 while the American navy may bt larger than the Spanish, "their vessel! are manned by mercenaries of no prac tical experience, who can not hold ou
 against us; consequently, we don fear war"
 'The people and army, indeed, art
 longing for it, for the people know
 that we have lost 8O,O0O soldiers il Cuba and uncounted millions of none. through unceasing assistance tn, Americans have given the insurgents
 and that they are yearning to mee
 their real enemy at last in the opel field''

A SILLY RUMOR.
That the Spanish Legation at Wash
 ington Has Been Attacked.

Washington, April 9.-The state de- partment gave out the following today: Secretary Sherman, referring to the report in Madrid that the Spanish le- gation at Washington had been at tacked,' remarked today that, AS every one here knows, there is no truth in it, but on the contrary the Spanish minister is highly esteemed here, is received everywhere and is respected by all our people. If, as a result of the pending controversy, he shall be recalled by his government, he will carry with him the kindly re- gard of the president and members of the cabinet, as well as Of the people generally"
 MT Sherman's denial that the Span ish legation had been attacked is in line with official denials which the Spanish minister himself cabled to Madrid The minister stated today that he at no time had attached any importance to the petty annoyances directed against the legation property and officials. It has been attributed to ignorant vandalism, mainly by small children.
 It can be stated in this connection that Senor Polo Bernabe has sought to lessen the friction between the two governments rather than to increase it.

Spain Tries in Vain to Smooth His Wrinkled
 and ForbiddinS Front
AN OFFER OF AN ARMISTICE

ranged by the opposing generals. Gen. eral Blanco and General Gomez would have to agree to an armistice.
 'Does any one think General Gomez would agree to suspend hostilities just as we are about to win the great vic tory for which our people have fought and struggled SO long? Besides, who is to take the proposition for an ar mistice to General Gomez? The con- stitution of the Cuban republic and the civil law absolutely forbid the general-in-chief under penalty of death to entertain or receive any offer from the Spanish unless it has for it's basis the absolute independence of Cuba. Who is to carry the offer? The fate of Ruiz is warning of the fate which would await such an envoy"
