Goat. a. nru,h Eaters.

Col. William l.. Black, in his COM
prehensive treatise on 1.-THE Angora
Goat and Mohair Industry of the Unit
ed States" says: The brush ques-
tion is a most serious one in a great
many of our states. AS long as land
can be kept under cultivation the
brush can be kept down; but, when
1t is once thrown open to pasture,
briars and brush of all description be-
gin to grow, and soon cover the entire
surface. Even in our own state OF
Texas many millions of acres in the
west are growing up into brush thick
cts. and will, sooner or later, become
worthless for pasturing cattle; and,
in many of the western territories the
same conditions exist is is supposed
that this has been produced by an In
crease In the rainfall; but, I am in
clined to think it is not altogether due

BIG BATTLE is RAGING.
Entire Bosr Force Engaged Lord Rob
erts' Command Near Belfast.


London, Aug. 2S.-The following
dispatch was received today from Lord
Roberts:
Belfast Sunday, Aug. 26.-En-
gagged the enemy the greater part of
the day over a perimetre of nearly
thirty miles. Littles division and two
brigades of cavalry, all under Butler,
operated southwest of Dalmanutha.
French, with two brigades of cavalry,
moved northwest of Belfast, driving
the enemy to Lekenvly, on the Belfast
Lydenburg road. AS soon as French
reached Lekenvly Pole-Carew advanc-
ed from Belfast in support.
THE enemy in considerab' G
strength opposed Buffers and Pole
Carew's advance. He brought tire
long toms and many other guns and
pompoms (quick-fring guns) into &C
ton. The firing until dark was hot
and persistent. Butler hopes his casu-
alties will not exceed forty. Pole-
Carew has not yet reported.
THE Beers are making q determin
ed stand. They have large numbey
of guns, the country is difficult and
well suited for their tactics and is les
favorable to cavalry than any we hava
hitherto worked over"

To chis fact. The brush and trees are
Indigenous to many of our so-caiied,
arid districts can be very easily
proven by the great quantities of roots
that the present inhabitants dig out
Of the ground for fuel purposes. Nok
a tree can be seen for hundreds OK
miles, yet these great roots can be
found almost everywhere. on the prai~
ries, and are a substantial witness To
the fact that there was an abundance
of trees there at some time or other
Before this portion of the United
States was occupied by the white man
it was a common practice Of the In
dams to burn the high prairie grass
every fall, or winter, in order to hunt
wild game that was SO abundant IN
this part of the country. Buffalo ana
deer were as common then as cattle
and sheep are now, but the grass was
so high, in places. they could not be
seen, and the Indian would burn II
of to be able to hunt them more
readily. This, undoubtedly, destroyed
much OF the growth of trees; and, in
my opinion, is the true explanation
of the roots that are now found in
many parts OF west Texas, New Mex
leo and other western territories. The
question is a very important one, and
If the goat can be used to keep this
growth back 1t is certainly we'll worth
the attention of many of our land own
ers, who may, in a few years, 5nd
their land practically worthless.

is the son of Princess Mary Theresa of
Modena. now the Princess Louise Ct
Bavaria, who is styled by the legltim-
lists Mary ". (of Scotland) and III.
(of England), whose descent from the
male line of the Stuarts is undoniable,
but whose ancestral claims to the
throne were set aside by the act of
succession that excluded Catholics

Advises Desperate Means.

ITO recruit in your command of
South Luzon 1900 men of sure daring
and steadiness. These will enter the
walled city armed with knives. The
entrance of this number of men will
be effected during a period of about
three weeks. 1t will be easy to do it.,
and shall undertake to place them in
safe places while the rest are arriving,
and as soon as they all get in l shall
give the necessary instructions to di-
rect and arrange for cooperation in
the blow on the said point, the walled
city"
After making suggestions as to the
raising of funds, the letter continues:
AT the same time. with all due
honor and respect, 1 inform you, Gen
eral, that it is my strong belief to re-
ceive favorable termination of the
present campaign, in which we suffer
defeats continually, not that any one
is of much Importance, but they dimin-
ish the desire of us Filipinos to pursue
with the necessary ardor the longed-
for liberty and independence of our
dear country and there is no other way
OF attaining this than by carrying out
the blow in the City of Manila, since
that piece of land, surrounded with
its high and massive wall, once taken,
we shall be able TO dominate its sub
urbs, and, as the foreigners live in
them, we shall be forced to have direct
relations with them.
Involving the Foreigners.
Eyes, General, | agree with persons
Of greater ability than that the burn
ing of few foreign commercial es-
adjustments will be sufficient to give
a new color to the present critical con-
ditions in the Philippines, but permit
me, General, to state my case briefly.
''How would the foreigners and the
Americans come to an agreement in re-
gard to the damage and prejudice such
a conhagration would cause the first :?
How would we find out their agree
ment? If the property of the foreign
ers is burnt and nothing more is done
we shall not obtain their valuable aid.
we shall never get it, but it, in addi-
ton, we succeed in obtaining possess
sion of the said walled city, then, with
our heads nobly erect, we can demand
what we want Of them and of the
enemy, because the first will have to
submit to our authority as soon as we
can dominate the place where they
are"
In closing, the writer says: 81 state
all this, General, for your opinion, so
that if you approve it can proceed to
make the necessary preparations ana
arrange fairly and definitely the move
ments to take place in the various
places and the proper signals. l hope.
General, that you will approve this
plan, which is one of the proofs Of the
ardent patriotism of this, your humble
subordinate"
In answer, Lieutenant General Mari
ana Trias assents to the proposition
and fixes June % as the date.

A report from Geneva, Switzeriands-
says: For some days the Genesess
have seen circulating about the streets
OF this city a mail coach OF a gaudy
color drawn by three horses. 1t stops
in the public squares and the most
crowded places" Its broad doors are
opened and show within brilliant ar
ray of dry goods. There is nothing
astonishing in this display OF the wares
Of a travelling merchant. 1t is not for
these that so many are attracted and
pause 20 gaze open-mouthed, especial-
ly coachmen and cab drivers. 1t is be-
cause the three horses are coquetttshly
decked with straw hats, firmly tied
with broad strings. This causes n smile
among those not accustomed to seeing
beasts treated with the same consider
alton as men. In the south and south
west of France this method is general
ly employed, especially with working
horses. The Geneva cab drivers seem.
TO be much interested I'm this matter.
and many are of the opinion that the
practice would be of inestimablc ser
vice here, to those horses I'm partieu-
lar which are called to mako long
stoppages, too often IN the hot sun.

TELLS OF FILIPINO PLOT.
Letters of Captured Gen. Ricart Dis
close Deep Scheme.


Washington, d. c., Aug. 2S.-The
War Department has made public let
ters found among the papers of General
Ricart, recently arrested by the police
near Manila. Among them is an I'M
signed letter in regard to an attack on
Manila in January, 1900. 1t states that
the reason for not carrying out the
proposed attack was because of the
small number of resolute persons sta
toned at the gates, and because Gen
eral Otis had gone aboard ship in
Manila Bay. Another attack was
planned, but was not carried out be-
cause the enemy" made careful
search of the city as a result of dis
turbances the previous day. The let
ter advises another attack and outlines
the following plan:
