by practical feEtlizing My idea Is to
plant half tho land in corn and peas. The
other half in cotton and alternate. have
about forty tons of cotton seed, Whlch
are worth SIS per ton Ga haul of six miles
over a very had road. Will 1t pay me 70

seed on the land? The land IS sandy

way 10 get this land in best condition
possible in the shortest time and at the
smallest cost. I want to see what | can

Answer-If YOU will calculate on the
basis OF 500 pounds Of cotton meal being
equivalent in fcrtilzing value to 2ooo
pounds of cotton seed and the rate of eX-
change YOU can secure from The oil mill
YOU can determine for Yourself whether
il will pay YOU to haul the seed six miles

BIG VICTORY FOR TWO CENTS.
STAMP INCLosURE AT LAST BRINGS REPLY
FROM THE MAYOR TO THE CENTRAL
FEDERATED UNION.

There was feeling Of eiation among the dele
gates at the meeting of the Central Federated
Union yesterday, and pardonable expansion OF
chests prevailed. They had gained a big vic
tory over the chief executive Of the city and
were proud of IT. although it had cost the price
Of a two cent stamp to do so.
At the meeting the previous Sunday the
secretary had been instructed to write to Mayor
Van Wyck complaining that several letters had
been sent to him, but he had not answered any
of them. The secretary was directed to incIose
a postage stamp IN the letter as 1t was thought
that there might be dearth OF stamps in the
City Hail. due to the bad running of Tim" Sui
livans horses at Brighton Beach or the troubles
OF the Ice Trust.
That the plan of the union was a sagacious
one was shown by the fact that a prompt an
swer was received from the Mayor in reply to
the letter in which the stamp was inclosed In
his communication Mayor Van Wyck said that
he had referred to Commissioner Lantry the
complaint of the union that the contractor of
the new city prison not observing the speci-
tcations in the contract. In a letter which was
also received from the Commissioner the latter
invited committee OF the union to call at his
office and examine the books. The committee
would then see whether or not the contract was
being faithfully carried out
William ]. OBrien, delegate of the Granite
Cutters Union, said that he had had two ex-
perts, men who had been employed by the Gov
eminent at large salaries for such work, go over
the new prison, and that they declared that the
stonework there the worst they had ever
seen. Delegate O'Brien then humorousIy crit
icised the alleged coat Of arms Of the city Of
New-York placed over the main doorway of the
prison. He said that the figures in the coat Of
arms were transposed, that of the sailor being
on the left and that of the Indian the right.
The sailor looked indignant at the treatment he
had received. and the Indian looked like Chi
Lese Boxer. The eagle on top had the appear
ance Of a defeated candidate in a cockfght, and
the hemisphere was missing altogether.
The secretary was instructed to write to the
Mayor Enclosing POSTAGE to see If something
could not be done about the coat of arms.
Delegate O'Brien also reported that the differ
ences Of the granite cutters with John Pierce.
the contractor of the Hall OF Records, had
! been settled. This means not only the settle
ment of the strike on the Hall OF Records. but
also that on the Chicago Postoffice Building
and on the big drydock at Portsmouth, n. H.
Delegate O'Brien added that now there was not
a single contractor of prominence in the United
states who did not employ union granite cut
ters and union men in other trades.

of the disappointment because he has not ar
rived there.
Some comfort is taken. however. from the
Wilders trusted student, who carried a message
to the legations from Tien-Tsin which he was
unable to deliver to the Minister. He declares
that the attacks on the legations ceased on the
14th and all quiet up to the 18th, when he
came away. If his story is true, and 1t should
be readily capable of veriication. man can go
from Peking to Tien-Tsin in four days, and all
the Chinese official reports coming through the
viceroys up to July IS are cOrToborated. There
is a mystery about the young which Off
neVed to be one Of the messengers who, induced
by hope Of large rewards went forward to
Peking about July 10 at the instigation Of
Colonel Liscurn, The starting of these messen-
gers was related in Washington dispatch to
The Tribune July IS. Their return with re-
The messengers information regarding the state
of the country through which the allies must
advance on Peking and about the disposition
and strength Of Chinese forces would, It is
thought, have led him to give his information to
foreign officials at Tien-Tsn. who ought TO have
forwarded his report to their Governments. The
American officers, it is declared, have not men
toned the matter, but their omission to send
facts which might be of interest has been
marked ever since the crisis developed.
General Dorward, the British commanding
officer at Tien-Tsin, also sent out two messen-
gers, and it is believed that the Japanese did the
same. Up to date not one Of these messengers
has returned to Tien-Tsin, far as is known
nor has there been single word heard from
any of them. Minister Wu maintains an un-

Ministers are alive.

SAYS CARS WON'T STOP FOR ALL.
DISCRIMINATION CHARGED BY A c. I. L. DELE
GATE. WHO ALSO OBJECTS TO DOGS
AS PASSENGERS.

At the meeting OF the Central Labor Union
yesterday Delegate Farrell complained that the
employees Of the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany Disseminated in stopping the cars. He de-
clared that he had seen after whiz by a
poor washerwoman standing on a street corner
waiting for one to stop. and he had also seen cars
stop promptly in the middle of the block to take on
richly dressed women. He saw such incident
Saturday in Madison-ave. A stopped in the
middle OF the block to let well gowned woman get
aboard Two colored servants, each carrying a
dog with the woman, and they were per-
mitted to get the car also.
Delegate Farrell demanded by what right the
conductor permitted the dogs to ride. He then
referred the annoyance caused by dog heas.
which he declared were doubly troublesome in hot
weather.
Another objection Delegate Farrell had to dogs
in cars was that they would invariably lick the
faces OF babies that they took a liking This
panied the delegate extremely, and he moved that
the secretary be Instructed to write TO the Board
Health about It.

with the murder. and that, although they are
positive they have the right men, they expect to
obtain much more evidence now that the arrests
have been made.
