Special Cdbt Dsspach TO The Sun.
HAVANA. Oct. 1.-The drivers and conductors
employed by the street railway companies here
went on strike to-day to enforce their demand
for larger pay for n sixteen-hour work day.
As soon as they quit work the companies filled
their places with new men. The strikers in tho
Cerro district became turbulent and stoned
the cars. woundng two OF the new Employees.
Tho cars are now guarded by policemen. Tho
strikers threaten to kill the new men, but the
police promise adequate protection. 1t is said
that none OF the strikers will be taken back.
All the new employees are negroes.
The attempt to convict young Julio Sanguily
and his friends. who are charged with hauling
down a Spanish flag that was lying at the
Spanish Clerks Club. is likely to prove a diff

TO testify against the prisoners and refuse to

DEWEY ORDERED HIM AWAY.
The American AdmiraIs Curt Answer
to an Eccentric Austrian
Nobleman.

Count and Countess Festetics, who
have had trouble at nearly every port
in the South seas where they have
touched in their sailing yacht. the
Tolua, recently ran up against Admiral
Dewey at Manila and were peremptor
lily ordered out Of the harbor after a
one-day's stay. The countess is the
laughter Of Millionaire Lloyd Tevis,
and ever since her marriage to Count
Festetics, an Austrian nobleman, th..
couple have been sailing through the
southern seas. They have had several
mutinies of their crew because the
count is very eccentric and very eco
nom.cal. They have also had several
narrow escapes from being wrecked.
Their vessel arrived at Hong: Ing re-
Gently and the titled couple at once
longed to go to Manila and see the city
which had just fallen into American
hands.
When the yacht entered the harbor
the count expected to be received with
a salute, as both he and the countess
knew many of the naval officers in Ad-
miral Dewey's fleet. AS the Tolua
sailed up the bay to Cavite about dusk
a strong searchlight swept over her
and in the fierce light the count de-

had fired across his bows.
Next morning the Concord steamed
toward Manila and the count decided
to go nearer Cavite. but had only saiIs.I
about two niles when the Concord was
down upon him again. The same officer
came aboard and ordered the count T.,
leave the harbor. He pleaded the
necessity for getting fresh water and
sent a message to Admiral Dewey ask
ing for this favor. When the admiral
learned that the count had voyaped TO
Manila simply to satisfy his CURIOSITY

he had use for every ship in his fleet
for more important duty, he was very
indignant. He sent back this message:
You will be given until tomorrow
night at eight o'clock to get water;
after that your vessel must leave the
harbor. This is final" The Tolua got
the water and sailed for Uong-Kong.

To those who regard the world ss
already finished and quite rounded oif
.ce announcement that Sable isianl.
some eighty-fve miles east of Nova
Scotia, is sinking, comes as some
what startling piece of news. But as
& matter of fact, this island, which has
become so noted a menace to trans
Atlantic commerce that it is known
as the ocean graveyard" has been
steadily sinking for the past 100 years.
It has decreased in length from forty
tD twenty-five miles, and naturally, IS
1t grows smaller, the fury OF the sea
makes greater impression upon it
and hastens its disappearance. Within
another century it may be only an
ocean reef. and then be more danger

Farmers Institute.

Was held in Keener's hall Tuesday.
farmers were in attendance. Professor
II. M Cottrell gave lecture on feed
ing and the kinds of feed best adapted
to Kansas, making special mention of
alfalfa hay. kaffir corn and the new
drouth resisting crop for Kansas, soy
beans. The profess or told us the soy
bean was imported from Japan and
as the island is so dsnsely populated,
there being little or no room for cat
tie to supply beef steak, the laboring
class was forced to substitute some
thing in its place, and said the soy
bean contained the same nutriment.
The professor also gave a lengthy
talk on the great priiOt the Kansans
could obtain in feeding alfalfa hay
and kaffir corn grain. He sad the
alfalfa hay was rich in the beef, pork
and milk producing substance known
as protein. He told us that the prop
er proportions of these two feeds make
a perfectly balanced ration, but where
it is impossible to raise alfalfa the
soy bean, which will stand the drouth
as we'll as cane Or katfir corn, will do
almost as we'll to make the balanced
ration. He also said the chirch bug
or grasshopper will not touch it; that
the soy bean left the ground in good
condition for the following crop of
grain and will give an increase of
to the acre.
Professor Hainey told us how to feed
skim milk to calves and how the col
lege way OF feeding gave two pounds
gain per day. He said the best way
feed the creamery skim milk was to
feed it warm, about the temperature
of fresh milk and feed it alone; never
mix grain, oil meal Or chop of any
kind with the milk. Have feed box
in a convenient place and put corn
meal or kaffir corn meal in the box
dry kaffir corn meal perfered). He
said more calves we're killed every
year by mixing the feed in the milk
than any other way and urges that
| the foregoing advice be carried out
| in all cases.
Prof. Hainey also gave long talk
on feeding and fattening hogs, which
showed splendid results. Those pres
ent were well paid for the time spent
and asked the professors to come
again promising them a large crowd.

A Rats Tail.

There are more muscles in the tail
of a rat than in the ha1d Ct man.
Just think how many muscles that
must be. Look at your hand and count
how many movements you can make
with it. Every finger can be moved
forward and backward and from side
to side, every joint has its own separ-
ate movements, the wrist can be NOV
ed in any direction you please, and for
each little motion there is a separate
set of little muscles, each one of which
will do just what you want it to do.
The rats long tail is just as handy
to him as our hands are to us. By
it's use he crawls along narrow ledges
and holds on tightly with He
uses it, too, in jumping, and can
jump to great height, for rat, in
