northern section. It's condition in the
south is generally good.
A rather surprising fact in regard to
peaches has developed in Rhode Island.
The buds are said 10 be winter killed

warm weather has forced buds of other
fruits. and a full bloom is expected.
Small fruits are in excellent condition.
Asparagus has been marketed In Rhode

have early peas and beets above ground.
The acreage OF onions is increased, like
wise potatoes.

the peoceful occupation OF the two terri

tage to the whole world. by promoting
peace in the Pacific with consequent
growth of industry and commerce An

peaceful adjustment of this question will
hasten the development of an enormous
trans Pacific commerce. in which the
United States will have full share. and
this, of course, means vastly increased
growth OF very many American indus

that has been taken up TO the present.
The prospects are now that the Ameri
can flag will continue to wave in the far
east. The army in the east had every
thing the war department could furnish.
We lived we'll and we did our duty"
General Merritt referred to the present
secretary OF war as the best secretary OF
war that the world had ever seen.
He added: "He has made fewer mis-
takes and been more abused than any
OF his predecessors He has had the con-
fdence OF all except a few malcontents
Through him has been attacked the
President of the United States. He is
almost sick at heart at the weight or the
unjust obloquy that has been heapeo
on him, but with no promises 10 make or
platitudes TO indulge in he Is conduct
Ing an honest administration"
General Wheeler talked along silimar
lines. He reviewed the circumstances
OF the mobilization OF the army during
the war and asserted that history would
record that the United States humbling
OF Spain was without parallel. General
Wheeler asserted that he had heard no
complaint about rations. The only
Nuestion was whether the benefits OF
American civil and religious liberty
should not be given the people whom
Providence had placed under our coz
troll.
Senator Depew said he was an ex-
pansionist. but not an imperialist in the
commonly accepted sense OF that word.

cIared that the Filipipos were not to be
tyrranized over by the United states. but
were TO have some one like General
Sherman tell them. Go home stop rails

senator concluded with the loudly ap-
plauded sentiment that the spirit Of true
Amerlcanism would carry the nation
through the perils of expansion.
General King deprecated the abuse
aeaped on Secretary Alger because OF his
conduct OF the war. He defended the
secretary and said that the latter's full
rindication would come soon.
General Breckenridge paid tribute to
the navy, saying that the greatest brunt
OF the war fell on the navy. Said he:

The Greensburg Qnd) Review tells
of a local lawsuit in which one farmer
sued another for damages for killing
his dog. The defendant proved that
the dog was a rowing, sheep-killing
animal, and being on his farm as a
trespasser, two miles from home, he
killed him. The squire before whom
the suit was brought found for the de-
fendant. Then the plaintiff brought
replevin suit for the body of his dog.
This case was tried by jury. Defen-
dant's attorneys claimed that replevin
would not lie because the object sought
Ito be replevined was dead, but the
jury, under instructions from the court,
thought differently, and found for the
plaintiff, assessing his damages at /
cent. They probably thought as ;he
dog was dead and buried 1 cent would
be enough.
