Fan Planting For Spring nIoominI

raAA RlantlnE For spring blooming,
In northern ATTITUDES bulbs for spring
Towering should be planted not later
than October to form roots before
freezing weather
The snowdrop is the first to blossom.
Plant the bulbs two inches deep and
the same distance apart. The crocus
soon follows. Set the bulbs three
inches apart and cover with two inches
Of earth. When scattered over the
lawn, the effect is novel and pleasing.
Tut the bulbs In with a dibbIe, one in
place, without tearing up the turf.
In the early spring bits of white, blue
and yellow will appear to grow natu-
rally from the turf. They may be cut
down later by the lawn mower with
out injury and will peep up from the
sod year after year.
Hyacinths thrive best In the sun
shine. Make the bed where it viii get
as much of it as possible. Remove
about four inches of earth, spade up
another four and fertiIize with we'll
decayed manure from the coward.
Mix the fertilizer thoroughly with the
earth. that none may come directly in
contact with the bulbs, and do not
make the bed very rich. Very large
bulbs are apt to split the second year.
What are called by florists third size
or bedding hyacinths are best for gar
den culture Plant four inches apart
and four deep. The soil must be well
drained or the frost will heave the
bulbs. Mulch the bed before the
ground freezes hard with leaves or
straw and scatter over little earth.
Tulips may be planted during Octo-
Der or November, observing the same
directions as for hyacinths, but set
them four inches deep and i've or six
inches apart After the ground freezes
cover the same as hyacinths. Tulips
and hyaclnths may be allowed to grow
three years undlsturbed. The Due Van

LONDON, June 14.-After weeks ST.

Controller Coler's Opinion of Many Men
In Public Life.
CHAMPAIGN, Ills, June 14.-Controller
Bird S. Coler Of New York delivered
the principal address at the commence

OF his statements created sensation.
He said, in part:
"The great civic and political prob
lens of this country today were born of
the social conditions that exist in the
cities and there the fight for more in
tellgence and a higher standard of
public honesty must be fought and won.
corruption in state and municipal
government has too long been accepted
in this country as matter of course.
There has been a growing tendency
among men who were otherwise good
citizens, to shirk public duties. They
wanted to keep out of politics and pub
lie life, but in keeping out they made
room in high places for men who ought
to be in Jail. The spirit of corrupt COM
mercialism has invaded politics and
public life in this country and in some
Of the larger cities the invasion has for
a time overrun the government

One Hundred and sixty-three of Them Go
Ashore at Tien Tsin.
TEN TSIN, June 14.-One hundred
and sixty-three more British have
landed. An additional 30 British have
been sent to Pong Shan. A special
train has left Tien Tsin for Yang Tsun
to bring General Mich to consult with
the viceroy. Telegraphic communion
ton with Pekin is still interrupted.
The Russian warships Petropaulovski
and Komiloff are at Taku bar and the
Russian torpedo boats "103" and "1O7"
are in the river Taku. Want of trans
port prevents the Russians from land
ing troops. The Russians are very
active here. It isrumored that General
Fung Fab Slang, with many thousand
troops, is at Feng Tai. The attest news
from Pao Tung Flu is that the Boxers,
5000 strong, are attacking the Catholic
convent there. The situation is critical
and the officials are evidently inactive.
The United States warships Nashville
and Manacsy are reported at Taku.

WILL BE CROWN COLONIES.

Plan for the Civil Settlement of South AZ
RIGA Has Been Decided On.
LONDON, June 14.-It is learned by
the Associated Press that the govern
ment has at last decided upon a plan
for the civil settlement of South Africa.
The details are kept most secret, but it
can be safely said that the Orange River
Colony and the Transvaal will become
crown colonies, the latter probably be-
ing renamed the Transvaal Colony. Sir
Alfred Miner, it is declared, is to be
high commissioner of South Africa, in
spite of the opposition he has incurred.
Endeavors will be made to put this in
force as soon as possible in the Trans
vaal and Orange River Colony, though
it is scarcely expected that the details
will be announced nor some parts of the
work be begun for some months yet.

NO WORD FROM KUMAssIE.

Absence of News Tends to Confirm Pessi-
mistic Views Of Governors Safety.
AcCRA, Gold Coast, June 14.-De-
tails have been received here Of another
serious reverse to the relief column un-
der Colonel Carter and Major Wilkin-
son, days march north Of the Prah.
There were. heavy casualties. The
latest rumors report further disaster
to detachment on the north bank Of
the Prah, which is now flooded, and
where the Ashantis were found strongly
entrenched. Colonel Willcox's advance
has been delayed by rains, which have
destroyed the bridges on the Prahaur
road. The continued absence of news
from Kumassie tends to confirm the
pessimistic views IS to the safety Of the
governor and his staff. The coast towns
are apprehensive Of their own safety.
The British gunboat Maggie, stationed
at Accra, is the sole protection for the
coast. :
: The general opinion is that the pres
ent force is inadequate to cope with the
situation, and the local government app
parently fails to recognize it's gravity.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Oficial dis.

in Washington show that the rioting in

the rioters directing number of their

these dispatches stated that the secre-

by the mob. On the same day two Of

threatened to close in on them they
drew revolvers and by show of force

British Summer Quarters,
fourteen miles from Pekin, were burned
down. These quarters were quite ex
tensive and had just been completed.
They belonged to the British govern
ment and not to Sir Claude Macdonald,
the minister at Pekin, which gives
added significance to the depreciation.
The killing of the chancellor of the
japanese legation at Pekin, Sugiyams
Akira, is not referred to in the official
dispatches received here, but full credit
is given to this report by the Japanese
officials, who are personally acquainted
with Mr.. Akira and with many of the
circumstances detailed. The killing of
a member Of the diplomatic body and
the foregoing assaults upon the officials
of the foreign countries are regarded as
presenting the most serious phase of
the situation that has thus far occurred.
