sugar factories Now there are a large
 ply the country with sugar. We experi-
 mented until we found where the best
 sugar beets could be raised, and then
 we induced the farmers to plant the
 beets and the manufacturers to plant
 the factories. As a result, we are
 turning out hundreds of tons of sugar and keeping thousands of dollars at home. Across the northern row of states we find the best sugar beet country of the United States. North ern New York, northern Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, etc., are all adapted to the culture. To provide them with the best of seed we have imported twenty tons, now in New York This seed was purchased from the best growers in France and Germany. There the beets are carefully selected according to their saccharine matter, and those con taining the highest percentage are se- lected to bear seed. First the seed is planted, then comes the beet. This seed is again examined, and that which contains the highest percentage of sweetness is planted That year they get the beet The next year the beet is planted and they get the seed. It is this seed which we have purchased
 ITO ascertain the best grain for cur northern states and to procure the most hardy seeds. we have an agent in southern Russia who is going among the farmers asking: What is your best grain? How do you plant it? Which is the hardest variety? He will send us the wheat which they use and other grains. The westernegs com plained they had no grass that could stand the drought, so we sent to the steppes of Russia and got some of that grass. Here is sample of grass that was green after six months of dry and when the rain came it sprang up to two feet or more. It is in this manner we are uti izing the seed appropriation y

CHANCE FOR AMERICA
FOrmoSa Will Construct a Railway
 Through inc Island.

Washington, April 2.-James w.
 Davidson, consul at Tamusi. has made
 a report to the bureau of foreign com
 merce, department Of state, on the
 opening for American railway mater
 ials that is offered by existing condi-
 tOnS in Formosa. The Formosan gov
 ernment, under the stimulus given to it. by the wide-awake Japanese, is un- dertaking the material development of the island by means of a system ot railways. Referring to this project, MT. Davidson says:
 The FormOsan government has asked for an appropriation of 40,000,- 900 yen ($20,0OO00O in United States gold) for the construction of a railway through the island and for the improvement of Kelung haroor. The Japanese cabinet mas given it's approval, and as the raii- way and harbor are urgently needed it is believed that the diet will pass the bill. There is at present in the island railway 50 miles long, run ming from Kalung to Teokcham. It was commenced in 1887 and completed in 1S91 l. was owned by the Chinese government. but on the taking over of the island hy the Japanese, it passed into the possession of the latter gov ernnent. The proposed railway will extend south from Tcckcham to Takow, a distance of 175 miles.
 he Japanese have rebuilt part of the existing road, but no new rolling stock, with tte exception Of two or three secondhand locomotives from Japan has been added. At present six locomotives. 12 passenger cars and 20 freights and Hats are in use. The gange of the present line is three feet. six inches, and the same will probably 5a continued in the new road. There will be required steel rails (prObably for the line, and one of the laadiug engineers connected with the work has expressed to me his inten- tion of recommending American loco motives

NOVEL PEACE TRUST
Remarkable Scheme to h.
 sure Against War.
Nations to Join an Association, Pay aE Assessment and All Disputes to Be Settled by inc Board of Managers.

Washington, April 2.-Secretariea l Long and Alger have received from
 MT. Homer L. Boyle of Grand Rapids, Mich. a proposition to reduce the fu- ture chances Of international wars to a minimum. MI. Boyle proposes to form the international Insurance Associa- tion to Prevent Wars" The object is
 to prevent wars between nations which
 join it by paying in cash the disputed
 claims for loss of life or property, as
 well as a portion of losses incurred by
 nations in war who are members. The
 association is to be governed by a
 board of managers, to consist of one
 repress ntative from each nation that
 joins it. The membership fee is not to exceed cents per capita Of the pOpula- tion and estimated wealth of the na-
 ton. MT. Boyle has figured out that 1t would cost the United States $3,000, ,000
 to come into the association. China, which has @ much larger population. but far less per capita wealth, would pay $4,00O, GOO, and it is quite possible that that unhappy country would pay cheerfully this amount tU jC:n an in stitution that would insure it against the rapacity of European governments.
 The beard of managers is to act as Q court of claims, and pays it's own re- wards. Should nations have a dispute over a claim for loss of fife or other in jury, the board Of managers would take charge and have four months to adjudicate. At the end of that time decision could be reached by a major ity vote, the board paying over the amount decided upon. If the associa- tion should fail to render decision and the GispUting nations go to war, then the association would pay each nation 20 per cent Of expenses incurred in fighting
 If nation should insult another one, the association would investigate the nature of the affront and call on the insulter to apo..gize to the insuItee. If the insuIter refused, then it would expeI it from the association, | and it would forfeit all moneys paid | with a fine Of per cent of it's wealth ! If the expelled nation should scoff at | being expelled, and jeeringly refuse to 1 pay the fine, all other nations would | evy q surtax on all goods imported by | 1hem from the offending country.
 It is evident that MT Boyle believes | hat all questions of international dis DEte could be settled on cash basis. His ingenious project has called forth etters of approval from Governor 9ingree. of Michigan, and from MT. Caleb Perry, the mayor of Grand Rapids. Mich

But Enough Shots Exchanged to
 Keep all Alert.
REBELS READY TO QUIT
Fully Convinced That The Backbone of inc instruction Is BrOken-SpapiardS Maintain that They Will Continue Guerrilla Warfare Indefinitely. But They Never Before Met Americans.

Manila, April 2.-6:3O D. m.-The American troops under General Mac Arthur are still resting at Malolos where everything has been quiet to- day. Hostihlties elsewhere, so far as officially reported, have been limit ed during the last A hours to an occa- sional exchange of shots. But this shooting has been just active enough to make the lives of the soldiers a bur den and to compel the officers to sleep in the trenches clothed and in readi- ness to repel possible attacks.
 Most of the Americans are becoming convinced that the backbone of the insurgent opposition is broken. There are numerous rumors pointing to an early collapse of the insurrection. One of these is that General Pico Del Pillar. the best fighter among the Filipino offi- cers, will desert Aguinaldo and give his support to the Americans.
 The Spaniards, reasoning from their experience with the natives, refuse to believe that the rebellion is any where near put down. They declare that the Filipinos will not take their defeat at Malolos, with the loss of the city and flight of their so-called gov ernment, seriously to heart. On the contrary, the Spaniands predict that the insurgents will hover near the American lines, bothering them as much as possible and when attacked in force, dissolve only to reappear at other points.
 This sort of tact:cs-the Spaniards say.-will be followed until the wet season compels the Americans to he housed in the Manila barracks. and then the Filipinos will return and re- occupy such towns as the United States troops do not garrison. With the next dry season a repitition of the present operations will begin Time alone will show how much there is in this theory, but, again. it must be borne in mind that the Spaniards. in all their domination of the Philippines never gave the inhabitants a demon stration of power comparable in effec- tl-veness to that given them by the United States.

 The Americans are trying to gain he confidence of the inhabitants by to them that if they will re- urn and attend to their ordinary work peacefully, no harm will befall them.

TRiUMpH FOR DIPLOMACY
No Doubt About Peaceful Settle .
 ment of Samoan Affairs.

Washington, April 2.-1 he opinion expressed in official circles here is that the outlook for a satisfactory and peaceful and final adjustment of Sa- moan affairs is decidedly hopeful. The statement was made today in 3 well informed quarter that it is altogether likely that the joint commission, by virtue Of the pIenary powers vested in its individual members, will be able to conclude 3 settlement Of the Samoan question satisfactory to all powers con- cerned and that there is such an under standing between the three powers as almost certainly will prevent any dis agreement such as would make it nee essary to ask King Oscar of Sweden and Norway to act as umpire.
 A peaceful solution Of this delicate question full Of the possibilities of ser ious trouble is regarded as a triumph of diplomacy and as furnishing the strongest kind of evidence of the de- sire on the part of Germany, as well as of the other powers, to maintain the most amicabIe relationship with other powers.

Had Boon Bitten by y skunk In Camp
IN Arizona.
A small party OF Fort Huachuca peo-
pie left the fort six weeks ago on q
hunting trip to the mountains. In the
party were Mr.. and Mrs. @. M, Clay,
the husband holding the position OF
head carpenter at the fort. When the
party arrived at the point where they
intended to make their camp heavy
rain came up and they were COM
PEELED to huddle together in one tent
for the night. During the night as
the rain pelted heavily upon the roof
of the tent the campers were aroused
by the screams of Mrs. Clay. A can
die was lighted and 1t was found that
Mrs. Clay was held tightly by the
nose by hydrophobia skunk, the ter
70 Of the prospectors and campers In
Arizona. The animal loosened Its
grip upon the unfortunate woman
when the light appeared In the tent
and ran out. The wound appeared to
be Insignificant, and the campers did
not believe that any serious results
would come from 1t. Mrs. Clay was
given considerable whisky to drink,
and the ladies in the party applied
some Of the well-known remedies for
poisoning.
During the night the skunk re-
turned 10 the tent several times, and
each time 1t sought out Mrs, Clay, but
It was driven away before 1t could do
any more damage to her or the rest
Of the party. The campers did not
remain long away from the fort, owing
to the apprehensions of Mrs. Clay. Ar
irving at the fort, the government
doctor advised that she go at once to
Tucson and be treated by the best
physicians in that city. She arrived
there week ago and It was not un-
til three days ago that the poison be-

she was suddenly seized with convul-

held her In the chair In which she was
sitting was compelled to call assist
