"M,KINLEY COTTAGE
Endcared by Many Associations Be
comes Property of the President.

CANTON, o., Aug. 6.-PresIdent Nc
Kinley has purchased the Mckinley
cottage" at the corner of North Market
and Louis avenue. The deal was closed
Saturday. The consideration was $l4,-
500, and he will secure possession in oc-
tober. The property was not on the
market. 1t is endeared to President
and Mrs. Mckinley as their first home
where they began housekeeping and by
many memories. The lot is 100 feet
front on Market street by pa on Louis
avenue. The front veranda shows the
most wear from the campaign Of 1895,
when the home was the political Mecca
for nearly million people.
Before leaving Canton for the inaugu-
ration, President Mckinley tried TO buy
the house. 1t is not believed that Mrs.
Hartes would have sold the house to
any one else. 1t is believed to be the
Presidents intention 10 spend a part
OF each summer In Canton. The int
rior OF the house has always been
roomy and cool and comfortable.
Many CantonIans have expressed n
fear that the President might be In
duced to accept one Of the many invi-
tatlons which the papers have reported
rs being made to secure his residence
elsewhere. The news that the deal Is
closed causes great satisfaction here.

IMPORTANT DECISION
OF Consul General GoOdnoW Acting
as Referee In Consular Court


as Referee In Consular Court
WASHINGTON, D. c.. August g.
Hon. John Goodnow, consul-general OF
the United States at Shanghai. has
rendered a decision as referee in the
consular court which win be Of far
reaching Importance during the con-
tlnuance Of the war in the philippines
The case was IN relation TO the steamer
Abbey, charged with taking arms from
Canton to LuZon. It had been IN con-
tention for some time. The owners OF
the vessel gave a bond that the snip
should land the arms purchased AZ
Singapore, but she did not do 80. Ihe
bond was demanded by the Chinese
customs authorities. Mr.. GoodnoW
holds that II must be paid. The I'M
portance OF the decision is pointed out
by the Shanghai Mercury. which says
1.-THE effect Of the decision OF Mt.
Goodnow reaches much beyond inc
mere facts OF being Judgment Tor the
plaintiff with the penalty Of the bono
and the costs OF the suit. Hitherto tne
American forces at Manila have had 70
fight against FIllplnos well armed win
modern rifles and guns, and II Is no ST.
cret that the majority OF these arms
have been landed in the philippines
from Chinese ports.
When United States consular officials
have received information that cargoes
of weapons were about to be shipped
from china, through urgent protests TO
the Chinese authorities have been the
means OF stopping shipments. But
when the United States officials
through want OF knowledge, have been
ignorant OF such contraband runs, the
Chinese officials have likewise been
blind to these shipments, though no
doubt well aware OF such. 1t is in this
respect that Mr.. Goodnow has scored
such an important point. On the
strength OF that judgment the officers
Of the imperial maritime customs OF
China must necessarily do all In their
power to stop shipments Of arms TO
suspicious destinations. 1t has been
decided on the motion Of the customs
that China Is liable for any shipments
Of arms, which gets to the Philippines
through lack OF diligence or honesty on
the part OF the customs or the Chinese
officials. Therefore the judgment In the
Drew VS.. Sylvester case will be the
means Of checking the chief source OF
supply Of arms and war-llke material
that the Fillpinos have possessed"
The North China Daily News pub
fishes the decision of Consul General
GoOdnOw in full, and comments editor
tally upon Its Importance In the mat
ter Of preventing further shipments OF
arms to the insurgents in the Philip
pines and says that 1t will be far
reaching in its effect in stopping the
sending OF arms to the FilIplnos.

EXPERIMENT STATIONS
OF the United states-Report Of the
Assistant Director.

VI Eue OUlLGu 9AdNGn-AkEBgGS - AAAN
Assistant Director.
WASHINGTON, D. c., August Cdr
E. W. Allen. assistant director OF ex-
pertinent stations in the agricultural
department. has Just returned from
prolonged tour Of the west, made for
the purpose of inspecting the various
stations in that section of the country.
He states that one of the most inter-
estIng lines Of investigation which is
being pursued in these stations is that
with regard to cheese-m making. The
station In Wisconsin Is taking the lead
in this especial work and discoveries
have been made there which revolu-
tIonIze the European theory that the
ripenIng OF cheese is due to bacteria.
The American experiments demon
strate beyond doubt that the principal
change in the albuminoids which takes
place In the ripenlng process is depen-
dent upon ferment which Is contained
in the milk itself and not to the bac-
terla. It is believed that this discovery
will have an important bearing upon
cheese manufacture in the future
In Montana, Idaho and other semi
arid states there is much work looking
to securing forage plants adaptable to
the altitude and climate. In those
states, most satisfactory results have
been secured with the cow-pea which is
generally planted with oats. Red clover
is also found to flourish In the section
even better than in the eastern states.
In other regions much attention is CIV
en- to the rotation OF crops.
DR.. Allen reports a growing friend
ship towards the experiment stations
on the part OF the farmers.
When the stations were first estab-
lished they were regarded as an inno-
walton. but in many instances the far
mers have come now to depend upon
them and most Of them regard the
stations with favor.
