let 80 her anchors not far from where
the cup challenger Shamrock is moored.
The admiral was in his own country
again after 90 months absence. He
had returned "great with the arduous
greatness Of things done" The pilot
brought aboard the Sunday papers and
reporter of the Associated Press was
received by the admiral in a cabin lit
tered with the illustrated Dewey edi-
tions, which together made hundreds of
pages in black and white, and i'll colors,
all concerning the great admiral and
the preparations made to receive him.

The admiral said he felt tired. but he
did not look so. His complexion is a
clear bronze, his hazel eyes bright. his
bearing brisk and rather jaunty. Some
deep lines are under mis- eyes and around
his mouth, but his voice is singularly
clear and pleasant The admiral's ap-
pearance is that Of a man in his fullest
powers. His manner is gentle and
kind, but be is exceedingly wary and
did not permit himself to wander off
into politics or to express those positive
views he no doubt holds about the Phil
ippines and American affairs there,
His attention was brought to interviews
in which he is described as going rathe,
fully into the character of the Filipinos
and their fitness for self government.

be inside th.s Hook than outside. But
the consideration that really decided US
to come into port was to give Captain

"No; you are welcome to that if any

The New South.


So long as a united nation is con-
cerned there is no longer any South,
North, East or West. The Ruralist has
been laboring for years for new ag-
ricultural South. 1t has not sought
to amuse or merely entertain its read =
ers, but to impress upon the minds OF
farmers the necessity of the applica-
ton of scientific principles to farm
ing. 1t is a fact becoming more and
more apparent every day, that in the
South, the farmer who succeeds, not
only in making crops but money,
must have a practical knowledge OF
the great principles which underlie
the science of agriculture.
Among these are the proper prep
aration and culture of the soil to con-
serve moisture, the proper aeration of
the soil by drainage to give the mi
croscopic life, so necessary to plant
life, an opportunity to do its work;
the methods of drawing nitrogen, the
most costly of all fertilizers, from the
atmosphere, and how to retain it un-
til it shall have served the purpose Of
plant growth; the agency of the diff
ferent mineral fertilizers in making
stalk, foliage, seed or fruit; the rela-
tions of humus or vegetable matter
in the soil to mineral fertili :erS -
plant food to produce the best results
and the inoculation of soils to pro-
mote plant growth.
10 this end the Ruralist has, in the
past, urged on the southern farmer
the rotation of crops, some soil en-
richer like the cowpea, beggar weed
or velvet bean, finding a place every
third year, stock farming, that the
farmer may also be a manufacturer,
making into beef, mutton, pork, but
ter, poultry and eggs, first for his own
consumption and also for money

manufacturer of fertilizers by which

one acre should and can be made to
produce the present crop of two, and
that crop should first be of the kind
to meet the wants Of the farmer and
his family and his stock, and after
that the wants of the outside world.
This course will limit the cotton crop,
make much of the family garden, stop
the mortgaging of crops before they
are made, stop the importation of a
hundred millions of dollars worth an
nually of northern cereals, fodder.

add fifty per cent to the value per
pound of cotton, stop the slavish la
Dor of wife and children; add comfort
to the southern homes and give the
means for better education of the
southern children, and make Of the
Gulf and South Atlantic states pros
porous empire without the appendage
Of an Emperor.
The Ruralist this month will reach
many people not heretofore subscrib-
ers. We ask of them a careful read
ing of every article in this issue, pre-
pared or selected exclusively for the
southern farmer and his family. Our
object is to help make southern farm
ing "permanent, profitable and pro-
gressive." It will be our desire and
effort to make every number of full
value to the farmer of the cost of the
whole years subscription-to make
every number better than the preced-
ing one and it's full service to southern
farming can only be attained by your
cooperation. Shall we have it?
Up to the present time the agricul-
turist Of the South has been slow to
change his ways or his crops, and his
failure to do so has left him far be-
hind his northern and western broth
er farmer. If he will join the Ruralist
family he will be helped to the great
success which a highly favored soil
and climate invites MN.

LOTTERY MEN ARRESTED.
Said to Be the Principals in a Big
American Ring.

Dallas, Tex, March 6.-Federal secret
service agents of Dallas and Chicago
have arrested three men who, they as
sert, are the principals in probably the
biggest lottery ring operating in the
United States.
Since March 1 A. F. Champion and
Charles Pork have been held as federal
prisoners in the Dallas Jail. The arrests
were not made public until today, after
another arrest, G. F. Champion, had
been reported from Chicago by United
States Attorney Bethea in a telegram
to United States Attorney Atwell, of
the northern district of Texas. Attor-
ney Atwell, on information from Attor-
ney Bethea, had made the affidavit on
which the arrests at Dallas were made
on March 1.
The prisoners are charged with vio-
lating and conspiracy to violate, the
United States lottery law of 1895, and
also Interstate and international laws,
by circulating literature and disposing
of tickets of the Pan-American Lottery
company. Large quantities of circulars
and tickets, it is stated, have come into
the possession of secret service agents,
the operations extending from Fresno,
Cal, on the west, across the continent,
and including so of the principal cities
of the United States. The operators, in
their business transactions, used the
name of w. w. Ogden and had head
quarters in room pol of the Guild build
ing, on Main street, Dallas.
Commissioner Lednum held the two
Dallas prisoners in $1,000 bonds each to
answer to the action of the federal
grand jury.

Kansas City, March 6.-President jim

portions, Dale Gear Danny Friend, and

Catcher Hansen has also signed, and
Boyle and Merritt are not averse to

soon come to terms, leaving only the
shortstop position to be filed in the in
field.
In the outfieId Tuck Turner and Mat
tie McVicker are still negotiating, and
will doubtless fall in line, while Man

BOTH HOUSES FOOLED.
The House Concurs in the Senate
Amendment to the Quindaro Bill.

When the house passed the appropria-
ton bill for the Western university, the
colored school at Quindaro, a few days
ago, the Republicans made the appro-
priation of $4,000 a, year with fear and
trembling. At the time the Popul1stS
charged them with making the appro-
priation simply to reward Prof. w. T.
Vernon, the president of the school, for
the service he rendered the Republican
ticket during the campaign last fall.
1t was not anticiT ated that the senate
would allow the appropriation to pass,
in which case the Republicans would
have discharged their debt to Prof.
Vernon and at the same time it would
place the PopuliStS in a bad light with
the negroes. all without expanding a
single cent.
1t was a magnificent scheme for man
ufacturing a large amount of political
capital-at least the senate looked at it
that way, and the Populist senators de-
cided to go the Republican house one
better. Accordingly the bill was amend
ed to carry $4,000 appropriation each
year, instead Of $4,000. The house had
made so many objections to charging
appropriations that the senate had no
idea it would concur in the $1,000 amend
ment.
But it was mistaken No sooner did
the amendment come up in the house
than a motion to concur carried by a
vote of 81 to 5.

house.
