AGRICULTURAL Experiments.
Soil Moisture.

| Last week Mr.. f.. II. Gardener OF the
division of soils of the department OF
agriculture visited this station New
Mexico Agricultural College) and in
stalled for us a set of the new electrical
apparatus for determining the relative
amounts of moisture in the soil.
Twelve plats, of about acre, will be
planted in corn and subjected to differ
ent amounts of irrigation and cultiva-
tion.
The amount of moisture in the soil of
these plsts will be determined at fire.
quent intervals.
These experiments are intended to
show the amount of moisture in the
soil during the growth of the crop, and
also the effect of cultivation in proven
ting evaporation from the surface of
the soil. Knowing the percentage of
moisture in the soil during the season,
we will be able to estimate the amount
OF water added during the season. The
determinations of moisture will be at
depth of SO inches and 21-24 inches.
IL addition, determinations will be
made in the peach orchard at SO inch
es, 21-24 inches, 4, 6, g. and IL feet:
water being found at II feet.
Determinations will also be made in
alfalfa plats at SO and 21-24 inches.
We are also making determinations
on several wheat plats of the first IL
inches of SOIL TO see the effects of man
ure and straw mulch in retaining the
soil moisture. Samples will also be re-
ceived weekly from the sub-stations at
Las Vegas and Aztec and their mois-
ture content determined.

STRAIN is TELLING.
Dreyfus Is Showing
Signs Of Bodily
Distress,
TOMORROW WILL Be A BIG DAY.
MERCER and Casimjr-Pe-
rier VIII Take Wit
ness Stand.
TOMORROW WILL Be A Big DAY.

Rennes, France, Aug. 1O.-The mem
bers Of the Dreyfus ccurt-martial today
took the testimony of MN. Chanoine
and Paleologue. The former was ex-
amined from $50 to $50 and the latter
was on the stand from $50 to Ii .45 a. M,
when the court adjourned until tomor-
row, when it will conclude the examin-
alton of the secret dcssier. Col. Jou-
aust, president of the court martial, on
leaving the court today, said a public
session would take place Saturday.
The police adopted the same methods
of precaution as yesterday and there
was only the smallest gathering of
spectators. Capt. Dreyfus was allowed
to walk to and from the Lycee without
his usual escort of four or six gen
darmes. Only a captain of gendarmes
was with him and this officer walked i
few steps behind. the prisoner.
Maitre Demange, counsel for Dreyfus,
in an interview with representative of
the Associated Press, after today's SEES
sion, expressed himself as very well
conte1ted with the way in which mat
tiers are proceeding, and judging from
his manner, one may say that the de-
tenders of the accused have not yet met
anything very surprising or alarming
for him in the secret dossier.
Naturally, M2itre Demange declined
to give any particulars respecting the
contents of the dossier, but he declared
that he and his colleagues, Maitre La
bori were satisfied Of the conscientious
6GSira of tho tnor11hppe of tho court IN
thresh the whole matter out and to
have full light turned upon the accusa-
lions against their client This will
take some time, and the end of the
month will be reached before judgment
can be given. Meanwhile the strain is
telling on Dreyfus, who Is showing evil
dent physical distress.
Saturdays public session will be a
veritAble field day, probably the most
whole trial, as Gen. MERCER and M
Casimir Periar have been cited to give
their testimony then.
The first witness will be Lteut.-Col.
De La Roche Verpet, French military
attache in Berlin at the time of the ar
rest Of Dreyfus His evidence, it is
expected, will be soon disposed of, and
then Gen. MERCER will be called.
A dramatic scene is anticipated by
the dDll-1CIS IlSllNSs wiz ICY upb4l
him to throw bombshell and con-
found the accused once for all. His
words, II have complete proofs of the
guilt of Dreyfus" are remembered, and
both sides are waiting for him to prove
his statement. The Dreyfusards be-
lieve that his testimony will be torn to
pieces by Maitres Labor and Demange,
and that he will leave the court utterly
diseredited.
Capt Dreyfus will have the right to
question him, and it is expected that the
latter's REORGANIZATION of MERCER
will prove the climax of the whole pro-
ceedings
Former President Casimir-Perier will
follow, if possible, the same day, but 1t
is doubtful whether his examination
will be concluded before the court ad-
iourns on Monday. There will be no
session on Tuesday, that being As
sumption day.

PATRoLMEN TESTIFY.
Mazet Commission Hear Evidence OF
Robberies, Opium Dens and Pool
rooms.

Robberies, Opium Dens and POOL
rooms.
New York, Aug. 1o.-More than 100
patrolmen in uniform filled the seats
reserved for witnesses at the session
Of the Mazet investigating committee,
today. Mr.. Moss said that the only
book furnished him by Capt. McClus-
keys detective bureau, showing rob-
berries, was a record of property re-
covered. The property appearing
therein does not appear in the chief
book. Mr.. Moss read from the book
the value of the property recovered.
1t showed that property from all
over the United States was brought to
New York and disposed of in pawn
shops and other places. 1T appears
from this" said Mr.. Moss, that
thieves who live here go into the OUT
lying districts to commit robberies and
then bring their plumber to this city
and get rid of it here"
yesterday" said Mr. Moss, 1--WE put
in evidence the record of the COM
plants of 100 citizens robbed in two
precincts by women. Now l offer a
transcript from the record showing 1870
other such robberies reported to the
police in four precincts"

opium joints in New York city. He
also detailed many interesting facts
concerning the existence of pool rooms
in the city The manner in which the

ELEVATOR COMBINE.
Alleged That Railroads Offer Rebates
to Favorite Customers.

Chicago, Aug. 10-The sub committee
Of the Federal industrial commission
today resulted in the investigation of
the alleged elevator combine. Railroad
pools and defects in the interstate
commerce law were also the subjects of
hearing. Edward S. Richards, a re-
tired slipper and grain dealer, made a
written deposition, in which he gave
the inner workings of the so-called ele-
vator combine. Mr.. Richards stated
that bills of lading issued by eastern
roads generally were fraudulent, in
tended to cover up the system of rebat-
ing.
The witness also declared that rail-
roads had a system of issuing rebates to
favored lessees and owners of grain
warehouses and discriminating against
the private and independent buyers and
shippers, who in this state, according
to the evidence presented, had combined
in Illinois Grain Dealers Association to
fight the elevators known as Glass
A."
The interstate commerce law was al
so designated as farce and useless SO
far as it affected the rates or Interstate
commerce regulations Of the country.
Mr.. Richards also declared that not
withstanding the severe blows admin
istered to the pooling associations Of
railroads there were traffic organiza-
tions still in existence which kept un
the system of pooling with more circu-
lation than formerly. As result of
Mr.. Richards statements, Senator
Kyle sent to prominent eastern road
for blank forms of the bill of ladine
used by the company.

LAuRIER MAKES DENIAL.
Has Not Yet Been Invited to Attenc
Chicago Festival,


Chicago, Aug. 1t-In personal let
ter to H. H. Kohlsaat of the Chicago
Times Herald, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the
Canadian premier, denies the truth of
an interview recently given out by F.
w. Fitzpatrick of the treasury depart
ment, Washington, in which Mr.. Fitz-
patrick asserted that Premier Laurier
had stated to him he would not ac-
cept an invitation to the Chicago au-
tumn festival, believing the somewhat
strained relations between the two
countries might result in some unpleas-
ant incident during his visit.
In his letter, Premier Laurier says:
you are at liberty to say that 1 have
paid no attention to an interview pub
lished recently in a Washington paper,
in which the reporter purported to give
to the public words, not to him by me,
but to some one else. Life is too short
for juryman to take notice of this
kind or any kind of hearsay evidence.
If l had any communication to make
to the public, I would prefer to make
it directly and in my own words. 1t
seems to me that I need hardly add
that the invitation of the Chicago au-
thorities will receive from me the most
courteous consideration"
"A meeting OF the committee on lnNl-
tations and arrangements will be held
Friday, after which time Chairman
Turax, who has been in Washington,
where he went to extend formal in
vitation to attend the festival to Pres
ident Mckinley will be present, and
the Canadian premier will then be COR
daily invited to attend the festival
This will be the first invitation extend
ed to Premier Laurier, as the members
of the committee deny that Mr.. Fitz-
patrick had any authority to invite the
premier, or that he is in any way
connected with the festival.

PORTO RICO DEVASTATED
Cyclone Kills Many and
Destroys Much Valua-
BILE Property.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Aug. 1O-A
hurricane broke over the south coast at
O'Clock Tuesday morning and swept
northwest. There was no abatement
for nine hours, the greatest damage be-
ing done between s and 10 o'clock a. m.
The wires are down, and communica-
ton with the interior was for a time
impossible. 1t is now chiefly carried on
by couriers.
Here, at San Juan, four natives were
drowned in the harbor; eighty houses
were demolished and hundreds were
unroofed. The damage to property is
estimated at $500, 000 Commissary
stores to the value of $4,000 were de-
stroyed.
A dispatch by cable from Ponce, sent
at 10 o'clock this morning, says the
town was almost destroyed. Almost all
the frame buildings are down, the
bridges swept away and there is no
communication between the port and
the city proper. The damage to the
port is estimated at $250,000 Two ma
tives are reported drowned. The rec
ords and property of the cusom house
are ruined, and all the vessels are
ashore.
At Aibonito very little remains
standing except the cathedral and the
barracks. Ell Cayey was leveled to
the ground, 200 houses being demol-
ished Two United States soldiers
were injured there, and many cavalry
horses killed. At Catano, the entire
plant of the Standard Oil Company was
ruined. The loss on the property is
$780, 900. A courier who has just ar
rived from Humacao capital of the
province of that name, on the eastern
coast of the island, reports awful de-
struction there. The loss to property is
estimated at 100000, but this is the
least item in the disaster. The courier
brought an official report from Capt
Swift Of the Fifth United States cav
airy, who says:
"Humacao was totally destroyed by
the hurricane. Forty-six bodies have
been recovered, and there are many
more in the debris. Eight privates OF
Troop c were injured, two fatally

called forth a statement, which was
unanimously adopted by the standing
committee of the Second Congrega-

staten ant completely exonerated DIR.
Barrows from all blame in the matter.

CHARGE GROSS CRUELTY.
Principal Of Girls Industrial School
Accused of Brutality.

Trenton, N. j., Aug. 10.-Miss Frances
Day and Mrs. Miller, who were form
erly employed at the girls industrial
school, came to Trenton today and
made affidavits charging Mrs Eyler
with cruelty in connection with the
punishment of girls. These are the
first sworn statements in connection
with the investigation. Miss Day went
into details of the case of punishment
of Sadie Wiseman. She said she was
compelled to assist in putting straight
jacket on the girl. The latter screamed
and threatened to report the matter to
the board of trustees Mrs. Eyler
struck the girl about 100 times with a
strap and ordered one of the men to
choke off her talk. The girl was then put
into the dungeon for six days, from
which place she was taken to an insane
asylum.
Miss Day further stated that the end
of the first day the girl expressed re-
pentance, but Mrs. Eyler would not
consent to her release. Miss Day also
said she made four unsuccessful efforts
to have the girl released from the
dungeon.
