ding shoot that shows at the axis of the
leaves, They sap the life of the plant and
are of no use or beauty. Provide each
plant with a stout stake. securely driven
into the ground.
How to Treat the Buds.
With care 'mums may be transplanted or
potted with perfect safety. AS the buds
appear pinch or cut away all but one or
three on the tips Of each branch. Allow
none to remain anywhere else. The POM
pons are to be excepted. They are prettier
in clusters. Even the commoner varieties
Will surprise with their size and beauty IL
pruning and disbudding are adhered to.
Give them plenty Of water and liquid
manure twice a week. If you have bed
of particularly choice specimens, protect
them against the cold rains and winds of
autumn by canopy. This is easily done
by driving stout stakes at intervals about
the beds, having them five or six feet above
ground. To these attach with nails and
cord covering of stout cotton awning
canvas. The result will repay one for the
trouble
There is decided awakening Of interest
In the hardy classes of plants by means of
which permanent effects are secured, and
the expense and trouble of beginning over
again each season obviated or diminished.

A CAVALRY CAMPAIGN.
Eight Troops of the Third Have Been

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Washington, July 20.--The president
and his military advisers have deter
mined that an aggressive cavalry cam
paign is necessary in the Philippines
and to that end have already begun to
make preparations for augmenting the
forces under General Otis with more
mounted men of the regular and volun-
teer service. Orders preparatory to
sending eight troops of the 3rd cavalry
to Manila with the necessary number of
horses We're issued to-day and the quar-
termaster generals department. char
tered three large steamers to carry the
animals.
1t is said that this action of the ad
ministration was based on recommend
ations from Otis. who has come to the
conclusion that a large force of cavalry
can be used in Luzon with telling eff
feet on the insurgents. Heretofore Otis
has had only four troops of cavalry and
these have been used chiefly in recon-
noitering. The character of the cam
paign followed by the Filipinos is such
that they cannot be closely followed
by infantry without great fatigue to
soldiers

News from Manchuria says the Rus
SLAMS have caused Chinese officials to
stop working some gold mines that en-
poyed 1000 men because they are going
to take possession of them They also
took some coal mines north of Moukden
from the Chinese and paid nothing for
them. They are also trying to take some
iron mines. All the mines are near the
railroad.
Despite all reports to the contrary, Rus

A JUST CONTENTION.
More Evidence in the Alaska Boundary
Dispute,

Dispute.
Chicago, July 20.-A Tribune special
from Washington says: Senator Fair
banks OF the joint high commission had
conference with President Mckinley and
Secretary Hay at the white house on the
Alaskan boundary dispute. The senator
reports that from personal observation he
is firmly convinced that the contentious
made by this government are correct, and
if the modus vivendi is agreed upon it
must be upon the terms of the United
States.
Senator Fairbanks has been all over the
country in the vicinity of Kluckwan.
Dyea, Skaguay and the territory in dis
pute and finds that the contentious OF this
government are correct. 1t was said that
this government will not yield a foot of
territory, and that unless the British gov
eminent agrees upon a modus vivendi on
the terms which this government offered
there will be no meeting of the joint high
commission on Aug. ..
While Senator Fairbanks declined to
discuss the subject of the position occu-
pied by the Canadian police, because he
may again be called upon to deal with
the Alaskan question, 1t was learned that
members of this force are now in the
Porcupine region, which unqueStionabiy
belongs to this government. The orders
sending American troops to Pyramid har-
Dor have not been rescinded. but are still
held in allegiance at the request of the
British government. In view of the latest
information furnished the state depart
ment on this point it would not be sur

fed that American troops will be sent to
Pyramid harbor whether Great Britain

c, w, Lane Appointed.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, July Ex-Governor Smith to-day
received cablegram from Colonel kessler
announcing that he recommended Charles
w Lane. regimental quartermaster ser
geant to fill vacancy in the position of
first lieutenant that existed. The gov
ernor, acting upon Colonel kessler's sug-
geston, accordingly appointed Lane to the
position.
The governor does not reliably know
in which company there is a vacancy. He
recently appointed Sergeant Cheadle to
succeed Lieutenant Croft as second lieu
tenant of l company, Croft having been
promoted to captaincy in the 3Sth. and
the governor has heard that Cheadle is
coming home, which would, of course
make a vacancy.

How London Views 1t.

London, July 20-The Standard this
morning in an editorial article regard
ing the resignation of Secretary of War
Alger, says:
President McKinleys prompt ac-
ceptance of Secretary Ayers reSigna-
ton is equivalent to an admission that
the department has been badly man
aged. 1t is significant that the resigna-
ton followed so quickly on the Manila
correspondents round robin" Alger-
ism is the blot on the Mckinley admin
istration. 1t has given the enemies Of
the imperialist policy the most effective
weapon that could have been forged,
and President Mckinley can wrest it
from them only by the appointment of
a successor whose past commands con-
fidence.
The Times describes the resignation
as "a decided victory for public opinion
and public morals over political organ
izations. By reslgning, Secretary Al
ger has practically allowed judgment
to go against him by default, and has
relieved the Mckinley administration
from a responsibility that was assum-
ing serious proportions. 1t Is the first
and most essential step toward the
purifica ton of the republican party,
and indeed of the whole political sys-
tenn of the United States. 1t is for the
citizens of the United States to take
care that the removal of a superficial
symptom does not divert their attention
from the root of the mischief"
The Daily News has a similar editor
ial 1t says:
He might have defied public opinion
to the last, but that Mckinley means
to stand for a second term and had tC
be on his good behavior with the cleo
tOrate.
The papers generally regard the res
ignation as a prelude ITO a vigorous pol
icy in the Philippines and the recal
of General Otis.
