sells Of the navy and merchant marine.
The department has gathered much in
formation regarding the plants which sup
ply India rubber and gutta percha and
expects during the coming year 10 locate
in our island possessions zones suitable
for the culture of these plants The
United States now imports about $30009.000
worth Of rubber annually and it is thought
that a large portion Of this supply can be
raised in our new island possessions. The
same is true Of Egyptian cotton, Of which
We import $4,000 worth annually, while
he thinks that 500 600 worth Of tropi-
cal products. which We now import each
year. can all be raised in Porto Rico
Hawaii and the Philippines
Much work has been done in the ny
bridizing of grains to secure varieties
which Will resist drought, rust and cold.
The same methods are being used 20 pro
duce hardy orange trees and sea island

Practical forestry work is being done on
a large scale among the lumbermen of sew
eral states
Extensive experiments are being carried
on in road construction in cooperation
with. the local authorities of the several
states including fhe building of sample
roads from the materials found in different
localities and the laying OF steel track
wagon roads
The third year of experimentation with
hog cholera shows that from rs to so per
cent. of the hogs injected with serum were
saved.
The secretary strongly recommends a
more rigid inspection of our dairy prod
ucts, to counteract the injury that has
been done to this trade by INSCRIPTIONS
dealers in the past.
Regarding seed distribution, the secre-
tary says there Is no need for the depart
ment to come into competition with the
sales of seedsmen, but there is room for
valuable work in the collection and distri-
button Of such foreign seeds and plants
as are adapted TO this country. but would
not be secured by private enterprise.
Tea growing experiments in South Caro-
lima are commended, and he notes that
5000 pounds of good tea were raised in
the gardens of Summerville in the past
season.
A valuable quality OF rice has been in
PRODUCED from Japan. It is superior to the
domestic product and should II succeed
in Louisiana, hundreds of thousands of
dollars will be added yearly to the rice

but He Is Having Some Trouble at
the German Embassy.

Berlin, Nov. 29--Ambassador White, who
is taking a short vacation In Italy, sent
the following dispatch 10 the Associated
Press this afternoon. in reply to an in
qulry regarding the report that he intend
ed to resign on account of advanced age:
1.-THE report to which you allude is an
entire fiction"
The rumor has caused no little commo-
ton in Berlin and several sem-offieial
papers this evening express doubt of its
correctness.
Some color had been given to the report
by the occurrence of recent unpleasant
experience OF Mr. White, calculated to en-
bitter his Say here. His landlord is try
ing to sell the ambassadors house to the
government of the Grand Duchy of Baden,
which is anxious to secure it for its own
legation. He repudiates Mr.. White 5 con-
tention that the lease of the premises was
for the ambassador term. Mr.. White
finally placed the matter in the hands OF
a lawyer. Before he left for his vacation
he remarked that If forced to leave the
premises, he would resign, as he was IN
willing to undergo again the heavy eX-
pense and trouble of fitting up residence.
While the relations between the United
States embassy and the higher German or
fieiais leave nothing to be desired, sew
eral members of the embassy have had
reason to complain of the underling au-
thorities. Thus it has just leaked out that

WATSON HEARD FROM GILMORE.
Reports the Capture of ViGan by

Washington Nov. 29-The following
cablegram was received at the navy de-

following: Farley Green, Powers, Burke.
Names of the Gilmore party: Walton,

The above dispatch, taken in connection
with the advices received to-day from Gen
Otis describing the successes of the move
ments of the army under Young encour-
ages the naval officials in the belief that
perhaps by this time the American pris-
oners referred TO have already been releas-
ed.
With the naval contingent at Vigan only
twenty-five miles away to the west and the
army advance probably little further dis
tant TO the southeast, the town of Bagued
is nearly surrounded and there is little
chance of the escape of the insurgent force
there, ii any attempt to cucumber them
selves in their retreat with the prisoners
Taking the list of prisoners of Gilmore's
party, given in the cable from Admiral
Watson, as being at Bagued, the records
of the navy department show that the
following men must have been left az Ba-
Ter, on the east coast of the island. where
the Yorktown's boat crew was captured
last spring: John Dillon, Charles A. Nor
risey, Ora b. Mcdonald, William H. Ryn-
ders O. wv Woodbury., d. G. A. Venville
and A. j. Nygard.
Altogether, the news from both army
and naval sources to-day is highly encour-
aging to the officials here, as indicating
the practical end of the opposition of the
insurgents in the north of Luzon. So
far as known, the only formidable force
is that left in Cavite province, under Gen.
Tryas, and that operating in Panay.

Reflections of a Bachelor.
From the New York Press.

Love is poetry; marriage is prose. And
a man without either can never appreci-
ate the other.
The trouble with a problem novel is
that it's generally too much problem and
not near novel enough
When a woman first reads the fable of
the sirens she goes and sort of smiles 10
herself in the looking glass.
No man really appreciates what a wife
might be to him till he gets sick and has
to pay $50 a week to a nurse TO sit and
make him take his medicine.
To be happy, a man before he falls In
love ought to keep both his eyes wide
open; when he Is engaged he ought to
keep one eye half open, and after he gets
married he ought to keep both eyes shut.
