"GYP" HEAVILY FINED
FOR AN ALLEGED LIBEL
Assertions in a Recent Book About
Senator Trarieux Cost Her Five
Thousand Francs.

PARIS, Jan. A civil court has mulct-
ed the Comtesse de Martel the we'll
known writer over the nom de plume of
"Gyp," in 5000 francs damages and costs
for publishing in recent book a libel
against Senator Trarieux, the former
Minister of Justice.
The libel was an assertion by "Gyp"
that M. TrarieuX became a Protestant
in order to contract a rich marriage.
The Comtesse continued in conVersa-
tons to illuminate against the Jews, who.
she says, should be driven not only out
rich Jews she asserts. ARE much less
popular than formerly. Many salons have
been closed against them, while Jewish
receptions and marriages with Jews are
becoming unpopular"
She further predicts a social and polit-
fcal revolution in Paris, "as 1t is impos-
sible that the Republican regime should
continue.

don Bennett.
PARIS. Jan. 4.-There seems to be a
growing conviction here that the New
foundland question will furnish the
next subject for discussion-some even
90 so far as to say for dispute-be-
tween England and France. The mat
ter has been referred to many times
lately. Mr.. McGrath, editor of the st.
John Evening Herald, has contributed
an article to the current Contemporary
Review wherein the English view Of the
case is given and reprisals are
threatened if satisfaction be not OBJ
tanned
Satisfaction" appears to mean in the
present case that the French should
withdraw from the stand they have
taken on their incontestable legal rights
guaranteed them by the treaty Of
Utrecht. These rights have no longer
any raison d'etre, according to the
English Mr.. Chamberlain has pointed
out that at the time the treaty was
concluded the fisheries were of great
value; now they have become compare
lively insignificant.
Rear Admiral Reveillere, in letter
written to-day to LIE Matin, says the
French shore is of no interest to our
navy He affirms that the question Of
the French shore in Newfoundland is
serious only because it has been alb
surdly exaggerated by professional
patriots.
The English have never disputed the
rights of France" he writes. They
only say nothing can be more true than
that our presence on the French shore
is a source of perpetual danger from
conflicts which have only been averteu
by extreme good will on the part of
both governments.
1T would certainly be of benefit to
both nations" concludes the admiral.
If our rights could be exchanged for
an equivalent compensation. l posi-
lively affirm, certain that 1 shall not
be contradicted by any officers who
know the Newfoundland station, that
the French shore is of no interest to
our navy"
Marc Landy, in Figaro, admits that
the entire territory in dispute is not
worth the blood of a single French
sailor. I'VE should be we'll advised in
accepting compensation in exchange for
this stretch of coast" is his conclusion.
The question is will both parties ap-
proach the subject in this conciliatory
spirit

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-Commodore
Watson, at present in command of the
Mare Island navy-yard, has. applied for
the command of the Asiatic station. to
succeed Admiral Dewey when that officer
shall have relinquished his command.
Unless Admiral Dewey changes his mind
that date will not be much before the
current calendar year, for he has resisted
all invitations to accept relief from the
onerous duties imposed upon him, be-
lieving that he could best serve his coun-
try at Manila. He will retire from active
service next December, providing the law
is not amended in his interest.

Important to Private Dairymen.

A circular describing the ely
draulic cream separator was re.
Gently sent to us by a farmer, who
writes that he and some of his
neighbors would like to know the
result Of careful tests of tins
cream separator, and any data on
the subject that we may have re-
garding this method ofcream rails
ing.
This so-called separator" is
simply a painted tin can with a
funnel-shaped tube on one side of
it. Milk is poured into the can
through the top cover and water
through the funnel tube at the
side. This mixture OF equal parts
milk and water is allowed to stand
from 80 to go minutes, " and then
the skim milk is drawn offthrongh
a faucet near the bottom of the
can. What is drawn off appears
to be a very thin skim milk, but
as it is more than half water, con-
siderable cream is required to make
it even look like skim milk.
A great many trials of this d.
luton method Of cream raising
have been made at experiment
stations. Prof. Wing, of Cornell
University, has tried three differ
ent kinds of apparatus devised for
this purpose. He did not get
nearly so complete separation of
cream with any of them as was
obtained by the centrifugal sepa-
rator, the shallow pan, or the deep
setting of the milk in cold water.
At five farms where these "new"
dilution methods OF cream sepa-
rating were used the skim milk
tested from 0.66 to 1.20 per cent
fat. AT forty farms where milk
was set in shallow pans the
average test Of the skim milk was
0.39 per cent fat, and at thirty
farms where deep setting of the
milk in cold water was practiced
the average test of the skim milk
was 0.3 per cent fat.
Dairymen should know that
these dilution "separators are
not so efficient as the methods
ordinarily used for skimming milk
at the farm.
