Kaffir corn itself is an example of what the right crop will do for a locali- tv. Ten years ago this plant was an experiment. ill tie United States. It was said to thrive on land too dry for Indian corn and IT. was tested through western Kansas where corn raising was a precamous industry owing 10 the light rainfall. According 10 the report of the Kansas State Board of Agricult- ure Kansas raised in 1893. 4 GOO acres of this crop; in 1899 she raised 535, 743 acres valued at S5, ,6S8. .3S0 --- recIama- ton. practically, of half million acres ties are now yielding magnificent an nual crops ofthIs valuable plant which prior to it's introduction, consisted of supposed worthless land. Brome grass (Bromts inermis) is another instance of a fine arid-land- plant which required pushing. BrOme grass will undOubted- " reclaim enormous areas of arid land. No grass will grow without moisture but where most grasses wonld die, brome grass will simply stand still and wait until moisture comes, when 1t will immediately st Tt off producing splen- did forage. This grass has been known in several sections for number of years butit has never been grown ex- tensiyely even in those sections, faim- CTS seeming to be afraid of it, and it's fame has never spread widely, until last year the Department undertook to educate Western farmers as to it's yir- uas, and to distribute seeI."

NEGRos INSURGENTS ROUTED.
Shipping Commissioners at Manila
Held for BIaclxmailing.

Manila, Sept. 2-Argogoula, the most
impregnable stronghold of the bands which
have been destroying plantations and levy
ing tribute on the people of Negros, was
taken Tuesday by the Sixth Infantry un-
der Lieut.. Col Byrne.
The only means of reaching the town
was up a steep hill, covered with dense
shrubbery and a thousand feet high. The
Americans accomplished this under fire,
although an officer and several men were
hit and rocks were rolled down upon
them.
The native strength was estimated at 400.
Many of the rebels were wounded and cap
tured, and twenty-one were killed. The
American forces captured a quantity of
stores and destroyed the fortifcations.
The shipping commissioner of Manila, a
Filipino hitherto in high standing has
been arrested charged with appropriating
half OF the first months salary and levy
ing monthly thereafter an assessment
from all the native sailors shipped from
this port. II is represented that he held a
commission in the insurgent army, and
was raising funds for the insurrection. But
1t is suspected that his operations were
merely private blackmail.
The Information resulting in the arrest
of the shipping commissioner reached the
port captain and chief of police through a
sailor who is not in sympathy with the in
surrection.
The Official Gazette published at Tarlac,
which has been received here, contains an
order by Aguinaldo assembling the Span
ish civil prisoners and sick soldiers at the
ports of San Fernando, Union and Dagu-
pan, for repatriation. The order st,pulates
that vessels calling must fly the Spanish
or Red Cross flag.
Jamecina, the Spanish commissioner, in
tends to ask Maj. Gen. Otis for permission

Discussion of Capt. Carter Is Now at
the Forefront.


Washington, Sept 2-(SpeciaD. .-Agitat-
ors of the now notorious case OF Capt.
o. NJ. Carter are slowly but surely crowd
ing the Dreyfus case from the front pages
OF the leading newspapers and relegatIng
the French military scandal to the pat
ent-inside department
Capt. Carter's attorneys are showing
more courage and determination In press
Ing their case before the public, and. as
stated In these dispatches several weeks
ago, they are declaring, with apparent
confidence that the sentence of the court
martial Will never be approved by the
President.
one of the rumors is that Capt. Carter
threatens to make disclosures which would
trouble several men high in authority.
AS a specimen of the talk that is heard,
il is said that II all the facts could be
obtained 1t would appear that a gigantic
combination, controlling nearly all of the
big river and harbor contracts, would be
disclosed.
1t is evident that Capt. Carter and his
friends are becoming more aggressive ev-
cry day. and they must have some assur-
ance from headquarters that there is still
hope for the accused, or else they are
putting up a very artistic bluff.

TRANsVAAL's STRONG FORCE.
Great Britain's Pretensions Nay BE
RepudiRted.

London, Sept 2.--The Standard and Dig
gers News to-day received a cablegram
from its Johannesburg office, dated yester-
day, saying that a German corps, 800
strong, had been formed there to coop
crate with the Beers in the event of war
with Great Britain.
The dispatch adds that the Beers could
mobilize 10000 men in three days, while
the Orange Free State could muster 10,-
900 men in the same period.
Continuing, the dispatch says:
"Mr. Chamberlaln's reply, upholding the
suzerainty of Great Britain, was received
by the Raad with a demonstration which
Enthusiastically indicates the intention OF
the Transvaal to repudlate Great Brit
aims pretensions. The Raad on hearing
the five-year franchise proposal gave ev-
cry sign of strong dissent and of a de-
termination not 10 so beyond the seven
year limit"
1t must not be forgotten that these
statements come from an excessively pro-
Boer source.

son, Jr., were called.

time of the court until noon.

no exception. At u o'clock the jury

Monday.
VIII Try to Get New Trials.
In several of the cases at least the de-
PENDANTS attorneys will push motions for
new trials, basing their contentious on the
point that the disturbances here SO far as
participated in by the men SO far tried
have not been covered by the law against
rioting. as no violent acts were commit
ted.
The proceedings of the past ten days
have set the people to counting the cost.
Not that they regret any Of the steps that
have been taken to restore order, but they
regret that the condition of affairs here
ten days ago necessitated these expensive
movements.
The cost to Mcintosh county alone VII
be at least 5000 This is an increase of 80
per cent. of the usual annual expenses of
the county. The special session of court it
is thought will cost S2,GOO. The state is also
expendirg a large sum in sending the sol
dlers here and maintaining them, so that
| the total cost of the riot win be in the
neghborhood Of $4,000.

THE NEW BOAT is THE THING.
Columbia Beat Defender Over Six
Minutes in Trial Race.

Minutes in Trial Race.
Newport, R. l., Sept. 2-The first of the
formal trial races between the Columbia
and the Defender to-day, for the purpose
of selecting a yacht to sail against the
Shamrock in defense of Americas cup
resulted in so decisive a victory for the
new boat that were it not for the fact
that it is desirable to have her race as
much as possible, other contests would
seem almost useless.
The yachts sailed on the regulation fiji
teen-mile WindwaTd and leeward course
in an eight knot breeze, that increased on
the beat out and fattened at the finish,
and it took the Columbia just SIX minutes
and forty-nine second less time to cover
the distance than it did the Defender.
Nearly every one seemed fully satisfied
with the result of the race especially the
owners of the new boat, for the steel
mast, which was carried through a race
for the first time, certainly improved her
wonderfully, enabling ner TO stand
straighter than the Defender, and, there
fore to outpoint her. In fact, the Colum-
bia sailed all around the old boat, and
but for the softening of the wind as she
neared the line and the subsequent fresh
ening as her rival came up to the finish
the difference between the two boats would
have been at least two, if not three,
minutes greater.
1t was a stiff brush while 1t lasted and
the result was certainly no discredit to
those on Defender. Summary;

ONLY CASE IS OUT OF DANGER.
No Further Yellow Fever Patients
Found in New Orleans.

New Orleans, Sept. 2.-The board of
health announced tonight that there was
no case of yellow fever in New Orleans,
beyond the suspicious case reported on
Huterpe street, and which is considered
out of danger.
To-day a house-to-house canvass, which

ten blocks from the two houses in which
cases had been reported, revealed not
single case of illness that was even re-
motely suspicious.
It was decided to-day to wire the health
officers at Montgomery aud Mobile and
Dr. Blunt of Texas inviting them to an
immediate conference in this city, and to
an investigation of the health conditions
in New Orleans.
In the meanwhile freight and passen-
