On exhibition at the Cotton Exchange today
was nne specimen OF alfalfa grown in Lib

The yield is siy tons TO the acre. AT $40 a

The country tributary to Houston offers
more encouragement to the farmer who d.
veisifes crops than any other In the United
States. The soil rnlses strawberries and
melons which are unsurpassed In flavor, and,
belng early on the market, always command
fapcy prices. The early vegetables also net
handsome returns 10 the truck gardener and
tomatoes bring good average prices.
Prairie hay. which for years went to waste,

alfalfa is the money crop. Three or more

SAMOAN CONFERENCE.
All Three Commtssioners Named.
 Work to BeRfn Soon.

All Three Comm mtsstOners Nnmod. Work to Begin Soon.
 Washington. April 12.-Thoush the three powers signatory to the Berlin treaty have practically agreed upon the instructions under which the Samoan commission will act, the administration will maintain a strong American force at Apia.
 The collier Brutus is going to Apia, where she will remain until the collier Scindia arrives, when, if the situation permits, she will proceed to Guam. The collier Abarenda will soon start for Pago Pago. where she will take station as guardship pending the construction of a coaling station at that point. These colliers have fairly large crews and sev- eral rapid firing guns and will be use full in case of another scrimmage with the natives.
 It is expected that the Samoan com mission will leave for Apia on the steamer sailing from San Francisco on April 1s. Mir. Tripp is now on his way to Washington, and Freiherr von Stern berg and MT.

Gregory's ill., ness continued, and yesterday morning the jury was dismissed and a new trial ordered, and an adjournment was talk en till the afternoon, when arrange ments were to be made for the em- paneling of new jury.
 When the court opened, Attorney Klein, counsel for the prisoner, rose and addressed the court. He said that a strong doubt existed in his mind as to the legality of the indictment under which his client was extradited from England. He believed also that his client stood a fair chance of acquittal. The prejudice. he said, that existed against his client was strong. It would be, in his mind, a most difficult matter to secure a jury composed of men re- siding in this state whose minds had not been contaminated with this preju- dice. The character of the crime was not fairly considered, and there were coincidences unfortunate for the ac- cused which placed her in a bad light. These, as well as other circumstances, caused him, after due consideration, 10 advise his client to plead guilty to the charge of manslaughter.
