Pruning Vines in summer.
shoots.

The chief art in gardening con-
sists in not allowing out plants to
have their own willful way, but to
make them behave as we want
them to. Vines, generally, make
desperate attempts to get to the top
of bush or tree that they Irvine
around, and the lower portion is
nothing but series of naked stems.
When we set them to trellises, we
want this proceeding reversed. We
desire as many branches close to
the ground as at the extreme upper
portion of the pole or frame on
which they are supported. The
educated gardner understands how
to do this. The grower of grapes
under glass has to know how to do
it, as otherwise he would have
grapes in the apex of the roof and
nowhere else. He applies the same
principle to the growth of Towering
vines out of doors as to his grapes
under glass, or to the grapes in the
outdoor garden, for that matter,
with equal results. Indeed, there
could be few better methods of learn
ing whether one has a real gardner
or only a wolf in sleeps clothing,
than by noting whether he allows
the honeysuckles to grow in crows
nests under the coping of the piazza
front, or whether the branches are
of equal strength from apex to the
ground.
And yet, the art is very simple.
1t is simply to pinch out the apex
of the strong growing shoots that
want to get up still higher, and
leave the struggling shoots at the
base alone. The growth force,
suddenly checked by the topping of
the upper shoots, has to be expend-
ed somewhere, just as the sudden
stoppage OF water being forced
through pipe may burst that pipe.
1t is diverted to the lower and
weaker shoots, which become, before
the season is over, as strong as the
upper ones.
In the hands of a good gardner,
a grape vine trellis will have fruit
over every part of it's surface-and
have as fine fruits at the apex as
at the base. But how rarely do we
see these masters of the art; and
how simple the art is, after ALL
Meehans' Monthly.

HAS NOT YET RESIGNED.
But Receipt Of Chief Justice Chambers Re
sigai,n Would Not Be Surprise.

Washington, July 19.-Chief Justice
Chambers of Samoa, has not ADVISED
the state department of his intention
to resign his office as reported IN the
press dispatches coming from Apla.
The department officials are inclined TO
believe that the fights said to have
taken place in Samoa among adherents
of the late aspirant for the throne
must have been small matters ana
without international significance.
Mr.. Chambers intention to resign
would be no surprise to the officials
here as it is pointed out that his posi-
ton was untenable after the conclu-
sion Of the arrangement by the Sa-
moan commissioners. 1t is suspected
that MIR Chambers resignation posi-
bIy was dated to take effect upon his
arrival in the United States. in which
event there would be no vacancy until
that date. The treaty provides that
The President of the municipal coun-
ell shall assume the duties of chief
iuetice in the event of vacancy IN
that office. so that the controversy be-
tween DIR. Solf and the members of the
commission is probably based on the
purely technical point as to when the
vacancy occurs.

OBJECTIONS OVERRULED.
Roumania. Greece and ServiaDo Not Favor
International Courts Of Inquiry

The Hague. July 19-The third COM
mittee of the international arbitration
conference met, today, NJ. Bourgeois OF
France. presiding. AT the opening OF
the sitting, the Roumanian. Greclan
and Servian delegates jointly moved
the total suppression of the five arti-
cles relating to international courts OF
inquiry.
NJ Beldiman, the Roumanian repre-
sentative. was their spokesman and
addressed the committee for an hour.
He claimed that the proposition for Il
court of inquiry was not contained in
Count Muravieff's circular and was
contrary to the principal of national
sovereignty. Roumania, he said, would
gladly pledge herself to the rest of the
arbitration scheme, but it was impoS-
sible TO fulfil these and other obliga-
tons.
Chevalier Descamp. the Belgian dele
gate. and Prof. Martens, Russian, de-
Tended the articles. which We're finally
passed on first reading, the three pro-
testing states recording their objection.
In the interval between the meeting
of the third committee and that draft
ing committee which was held later,
strong efforts were made 10 effect 1
compromise as regards the motion for
the suppression of the five articles re-
lating to International courts of in
quiry as the Roumanian delegates had
made certain remarks not palatable to
the delegates of the powers.
At the meeting of the drafting COM
mittee Prof. Martens demolished all Of
NJ. Beldiman's arguments. He said that
as everything had been done to protect
the weaker states against the stronger
the former thus obtaining a shield-the
commission or inquiry proving this
he was willing to make some further
concessions in the way Of making the
matter more optional.
These concessions were accepted by
the small powers and the proposal
passed it's second reading.
The arbitration scheme will probably
be passed entirely, tomorrow.

leaders they found under arrest.
The police later said the men were
arrested as suspicious persons, but
were not necessarily charged with the

They are striking motormen and con-

The committee on grievances ap-
pointed by the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Engineers Of the Brooklyn Ele-
waited Railroad, called on President
Rossiter, today.
Mr. Rossiter would say but little
about the conference except that he
had pleasant call from the men, and
they assured him of the LOYALTY of the
organization. He said that they dis
cussed the new schedule, which will be
| necessitated by the adoption of cleo
tricity as motive power on the road
| but did not finish discussing it and
will have another conference on it be-
| fore long.
The question of pay, Mr. Rossiter
said, was not discussed. This was the
main point of dissatisfaction, as the
| engineers feared that, with the adop-
| ton of electricity, they would be re-
| duced to the rank and pay of motor
men.

DYNAMITE USED.
Elevated Structure Attacked With Explosives
Strikers Deny Using il.

New York, July 19.-An attempt was
made to blow up the Elevated Railroad
structure at Fifth avenue and 35th
street, Brooklyn, early this morning.
The police say that it was the work of
the strikers or their sympathizers.
One Of the pillars of the structure
was shattered by the explosion of dy-
Mantle at Ito A. NJ. The entire base
of the pillar was blown to pieces and
the sides of the pillar several feet up
were torn away. Several pieces of
steel were thrown through neighboring
houses. One piece of large size, nearly
an inch in thickness. was blown through
the brick wall of a house at the corner
of Saith street and Fifth avenue. An
other was blown through a house at
the corner of 34th street and Fourth
avenue. While still another crashed
through the iron railing of the Green
wood sub-cemetery.
Several policemen who We're on duty
in the vicinity hurried to the scene of
the explosion, which was heard for
long distance, but no arrests We're
made. The explosion caused a delay
in the running of trains over the Fifth
Avenue line for a time. and extra
guards were sent out to watch the
structure. No one was injured.
