the bamboo caused it to be reported in
Manila that there had been much

and the Wheeling bombarded the set
tlement.
Aguinaldo, according to report
brought to Manila yesterday by Do
minican friar from the north has is
sued orders to the Filipino soldiers In
the northern provinces to return to their
towns and to resume farming. This
story lacks confirmation. but the rumor
may be in accordance with Aguinaldo's S
policy of keeping the country as pro-
ductive as possible by using his men in
alternate shifts on the farms or under
arms.
Dagupan, San Fernando and Deli
cinct, which are under the guns of the
United States warships, are supposed to
be evacuated. 1t is alleged that the
evacuation order calls upon the male
Inhabitants to be orderly in case of the
arrival Of American troops and eN-
presses the hope that the Americans
will protect the towns.

FARMERS wRANGLE ON POLITICS

Row ut the Congress in Boston.


Row ut the Congress in Boston.
Boston, Mass, Oct. e.-The farmers
congress got into a row over the words
mere politician" New York members
objected to the term as it appeared in
the report of the committee to which
had been referred the presidents an
nual address. The committee asked the
press to bring out certain points and
used the words the terror the united
farmers can be to the mere politician"
Col. Clayton said that the objections
came from New York, the state of
politicians. Whitmore, of Nebraska,
said it was about time for the farmers
to stop claiming they are the only peo-
pie on earth. Flanders. of New York,
said it was poor politics for conyen-
ton to abuse the men to whom its
members expected to appeal for legis-
lation. G.. H. Van Houton, of Iowa,
deprecated the injection of such Ian
guage towards legislators. The congress
struck out the word mere" and sub
stituted "unprincipled.'
The representatives of the dairy in
terests in Wisconsin and the west and
those of New York have clashed and
this fight is involving the selection of a
president of the congress. Ex-Gov-
ernor Hoard is leading the men who
want congress to pass law taxing
colored butter 10 cents a pound. The
New York men claim that If that is
done it will let down the bars of their
state so that the product will get
through, because the supreme court has
decided that licensing legalizes. and
butter may go through in original
packages.
| Canadian farmers occupied the atten-
| ton of the congress. Hon. C. C. James,
deputy commissioner of agriculture for
Ontario, urged that the teaching, of ag
lriculture in common schools be made
compulsory. Hon. James W. Robertson.
Dominion commissioner of agriculture,
said that farming in Canada Was the
national industry. Half the people fol-
lowed farming and success had been
brought about by the active co-opera-
ton Of the government, which had in
lduced the big ship companies to put in
| cold storage and the railroads to run
refrigerator cars.
