THE URDANEYEA'S HISTORY.
Washington, Sept. 25.-The gnboat
Urdaneta, which was captured with her
crew at Orani about twenty-five niles
from Manila on the Bay OF Manila IS a
little craft of only forty tons displace-
ment, not much larger than a small tug.
She was captured by the navy early III
the war and has been on police duty III
the bay for months past. The records
OF the Navy Department show that she
was one of the boats of which the Ore
gon is the parent ship. That is, she was
supposed to draw all of her supplies from
the battleship, to be manned from The
Oregon's crew, and to act under the in
strilctions of the Oregon's commander.
According to the last reports to the
department the little boat was last May
under comnaand of Naval Cadet WelborI
G. Wood. but the personnel of the crew
is not matter of record, being subject
to frequent change. Wood was ap-
pointed to the Naval Academy from Ore
gon, had passed his academic course and
was performing two years sea service at
the time of his capture.
Naturally the Department officials are
yex..d that the difficulties of the negotia-
tions looking to the release of Lieutenant
Gilmore of the Yorktown and his men
should he added to by this last misfor-
tune. Still there is no disposition UNI
necessarily to curb the Junior officers OF
the navy who are rendering such gallant
service i'm the Philippines.

the recent statement of the National

ed that Admiral Dewey will accept the
Gift and will greatly appreciate the pa

PERMIT THE CHINESE TO LAND
A Settlement of the Issue Between the
Two Governments Not Attained.

"A
Two Governments Not Attained.
Washington, Sept. 25.-Secretary Root
has received cable message from Gen
eral Otis regarding the Chinese situation
in the Philippines. He says that the
shipload of seven hundred can be land
ed without any serious interference with
military operations. General Otis dis
cussed at considerable length the sub
ject of Chinese in the Philippine Islands,
and the dispatch was referred to the
State Department, where it was made
the subject of a conference between Act
ing Secretary Hill and the Chinese Min
lister.
A settlement Of the general issue be-
tween the two Governments respecting
the admission Of the Chinese to the
Philippines was not attained through
this particular incident, which was CON
sidered as disposed of solely on its own
merits. The Chinese will be landed, but
without recognizing the right of the
Chinese Government to demand this.
On the other hand the Chinese Govern
ment, while permitting the men to land
do not in any manner concede our
right to apply the Chinese exclusion
law to the Philippines and stand by the
principles enunciated in the formal pro-
fest which was made last week by the
Chinese Minister here, against General
Otis action.
The result of the conference between
Acting Secretary IIill, with whom the
War Department rested the RESPONSE
bility for the decision and Minister WI,
is set out in the following official state
ment:
1.-THE Chinese from Annoy, on the
steamers Emeralda and Salyadora,
about one-half of them being previous
residents of the Philippines, have been
permitted to land, owing to the special
circumstances of the case, on the promise
of the Chinese consul general at Manila
that no more Chinese will leave Chinese
ports for the~f hilippines unless qualified
to land under the War Department regu-
lations."

Trenton, n. j.. Sept. 25.-Articles of

tary Of State today of the United States

authorized capital of $15,000,000. Five

Washington, Sept 25.-The Industrial
Commission today listened to a state
ment concerning the operations of the
Tobacco Workers International Union
from Mr.. e. G. Evans of Louisville Ky,
founder of the order and now its secre-
tary and treasurer. He said that about
so per cent of the tobacco manufactured
in the United States was produced by
the two combines known as the American
and the Continental Companies, and he
expressed the opinion that such combines
were not beneficial to labor. lie cited one
instance in which three manufactures
had been absorbed by the American
Company, resulting in throwing 500 or
600 employees out of work. In another
case wages had been reduced from $500
to $125 per day after consolidation.
Mr.. Evans said that women stood on
the same footing as men in the Union,
voting and holding office and wdrawing
the same wages. He considered the in
difference of the negro to regular hours
or to a systematic scale of wages as the
greatest obstacle in the way of the or
ganization in the Southern States

saw mill, lost none of his hogs from
cholera, while his neighbors were
all losing heavily. One of these
neighbors, remembering how fond
hogs were of ashes and charcoal,
hauled ashes and made a bed on
which to do his feeding, and when
cholera came again he was likewise
spared from it's ravages.
Since the least touch of lime kills
cholera microbes, why not haul
ashes and spread it deep for feeding
grounds, and scatter slaked lime
over the pen floors and in the water
ing troughs? If the hogs have a
wallowing place treat this in the
same way, or throw in a little car
bolic acid.
A progressive farmer has reported
that his sows narrowed twice a year,
bringing an average of II pigs to the
little. He sold his pigs at nine
months, and his sales footed up to
$500 year. When corn sold at 30
cents he got rs for his, fed to his
hogs. No fault can be found with
such farming, and it will pay more
profit to the acre than any crop sold
direct would bring.

Horticulture.

Whatever rewards crown our
yearly efforts, strawberries, honey
and poultry are sure money getters.
The grower of strawberries may get
greater profit from less capital in
less time than from any other pro-
duct. The returns come in when
the farmer has little else to turn off
for cash.
1t is not generally the case that
the insect makes the weak appear
ing plant, but tie sickly plant Is the
first attacked. Ii we can keep the
plants in vigorous health by good
food and treatment, we have made
the first step in keeping them free
from Insects.
Ii we are impatient with the slow
growth of the orchard, peach trees
may be planted among the apples.
They will give protection to the
apples and pass their season of best
productiveness before the apples
attain their full growth, and can
then be removed. Cultivate we'll
and push from the start.
For grating wax mix together
for parts resin, two parts beeswaX

until soft, when required for use,

If young trees have good equip
ment of roots they will grow while
older ones are overcoming the effects
of transplanting. An orchard of
one year old trees will overtake one
set out from trees of more mature
growth, and this is especially true of
peach trees.
Be content with any of the well
tested varieties of strawberry plants.

Sheep.

Sheep.
The Dorset is the one sheep not
afraid of dogs, and this is a great
advantage in its favor; and Dorsets
are prolific, with good character
istics all around.
The demand for mutton is not
rapidly increasing IN this country,
but the markets are continually
calling for more lambs. In these
there is the more profit, for they are
sold as soon as they have reached
the proper age, and there is no waste
in the keeping of them.
Whether large or small, every
farm should have its flock of sheep.
They escape epidemic diseases, and
they consume many of the odds and
ends cattle and hogs would allow to
go to waste. A bunch of lambs
turned into cornfield in August
will eat the foXtail which has grown
up between the rows and trim the
blades from the stalks up to the
ears, thus turning to good account
what would be otherwise entirely
wasted. They will clear the pasture
of weeds, and if turned on oat or
wheat stubble will keep the weeds
from springing up, getting fat on the
scattered grain which the reaper
leaves.
We have adopted the English
mutton breeds of sheep, but we can
not yet produce as good mutton as
does the English farmer unles we
feed as we'll. We can not make
good, juicy mutton from corn and
hay, and if we care only to increase
the home consumption of mutton,
we must grow more palatable meat.
We should raise more root crops for
our tocks, and feed greater variety
of grain, roots and ensilage in the
winter, when grass is not available.
We can sell more mutton and get
higher prices easily if we meet the
demands of the public taste.
When little flocks of sheep are
kept with any reasonable care they
invariably do well, and produce
good coats of wool. Fifty sheep will
bring in neat sum in lambs and
wool each year and the food they
eat will amount to but little.

Horses.

Our horses receive many moments

We have but a poor chance to lift

only for shelter from winters cold
or the March winds. There Is more
money in buying a horse blanket
