FINAL ADJOURNMENT
OF Congress Seems Likely to he
Taken To-Morroyy


Taken Tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-The House
to-day agreed to the Senate amend
ment to the sundry civil bill appro-
priating 100000 for the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition at st. Louis.
There was not word of debate on con-
currence in the amendment. 1t was
after O'Clock when the matter came
up, and owing to the lateness of the
hour and the overwhelming majority
in its favor, the opponents of the fair
appropriation did not even make
show of opposition. They contented
themselves with demanding a roll call,
which resulted, l2S ayes to 70 noes in
favor of the appropriation.
Mr.. Tawney, of Minnesota, is making
an effort to delay final adjournment
unless action is had on the Grout oleo-
margarine bill, but he met with no
success to-day. Everything, so far as
the House is concernd, indicates final
adjournment on Wednesday.

NOTED PRISONER
May Be PardOned: Because His
Mind Is Becoming a
Total Blank.

Akron, June 6.-The announcement of
the pardon of Romulus Cotell would not
surprise those who are familiar with
the situation. For some time there has
been movement on foot to secure his
release. The parties most interested
have been at work in Columbus and
they claim they have not worked in
vain.
1t Is said on good authority that the
prison officials have taken active inter-
ests in the proceedings, Cotell has
been a model prisoner and has stood in
the good graces Of the penitentiary Of
ficers ever since he was sent to that
institution. He is losing his mind as a
result of his confinement and the SYM
pathy of the officials has been aroused
in his behalf. They will join in a petit
tion asking the board to grant Cotell a
pardon. This petition will be granted
at the next session Of the board.

Gregg for clerk. He went out of the
office twelve years ago after having
served two terms. Since that time he

the people have concluded that since he
does the work he might as well have

UPROOT THE TRUSTS
Is the Injunction Emphasized
By "Uncle Abe"
Patrick.
(Copyrighted.)

AS you urge me to express my views
as to what our state Democratic plat
form shall contain hastily furnish you
the following:
/. That neither the Republican con-
gress nor the Ohio legislature, having
done anything to relieve the people
from the crushing oppression Of trusts,
1t becomes the plain duty Of the Demo-
cratic party to declare in favor of re-
moving all tariff duties on all articles
produced by trusts; of tearing them up
by the roots by legislation and making
their establishment a criminal offense.
The people realize that the prices of
all trust-produced articles are oppres-
sively high; that under their domina-
ton property is rapidly passing out of
the hands of the millions into the hands
of the millionaires; that eighty thou
sand million dollars of their stock are
floating on the waves of the so-called
ocean of Prosperity" that it is neces-
sary to do this to avert the approaching
sacking of our political battlements and
overwhelming financial disaster, and a
dangerous war of words between the
classes and the masses.
2. That the Democratic party is op-
100000 of Malays unfit for citizen
ship and unwilling to become the abject
subjects of their conquerers.
8. Unrelenting opposition to the es-
tablishment of an unconstitutional
tariff between different portions of the
United States and their possessions,
holding that the constitution follows
the flag.
4. Bi-metallism in the language and
spirit Of the constitution of the dad
dies.
s. That the people of this great re-
public extend their heartfelt sympathy
to the little Dutch republics in South
Africa and condemn our pro-British
administration with an ex-minister to
England as our secretary of state and
his young son filled with prejudices
of his father as the unwelcome con-
sui to the Transvaal.

UNION JACK IS FLYING.
London, June 6.-General Roberts re.
ports his formal occupation of Pretoria
yesterday afternoon, In this brief dis
patch:
, "The occupation Of the town passed
, off satisfactorily. The flag is now flying
over the government offices. The troops
were given more enthusiastic recep-
ton than had anticipated"
The Beers who retreated before Rob-
erts' advance. passing through the town,
probably drew off by way Of the rail-
road, eastward toward Middleburg.
Roberts dispatch did not suggest that
plan to cut off their retreat. although
part Of French's or Hutton's force might
have been dispatched for that purpose.
Although the Transvaal capital has
been surrendered to the British it is
noteworthy that the federal army has
not been appreciably diminished by tie
British invasion.
1t expected that the first step to-
ward pacifying the Transvaal will be
the issuance of a proclamation by Rob-
erts. promising immunity to those
burghers who lay down their arms and
take the oath Of allegiance. At the
same time profiting by experience at
Bloemfontein, the field marshal will
probably not relax military precaution
against revival of the federal cause
in the pacified districts. The second
step, 1t is believed, will be the dispatch
of an expedition against he Beers who
are supposed to be rallying In the north.
This force will perhaps cooperate with
General Carrington's troops in Rhode
sia, who are preparing to patrol the
northern border of the Transvaal. The
capture Of the Duke Of Cambridge's
Own" near Lindley leaves bad taste
In England's mouth and partly mars
the rejoicing. The serious situation of
the captured yeomanry was pointed
out exclusively In these dispatches. It
is believed that cavalry reinforcements
will be sent at once to Methuen for the
purpose of following up the burghers
who captured the yeomanry in the east
ern Free State.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS
To Orchardists For Destroy
ing the San Jose
Scale.

Summer treatment for the San Jose
scale should begin as early as the 18th
of June and be continued until Septem-
Der 18th at least, with intervals of not
more than ten days between sprayings.
This will destroy a very large percent
age of the young and thus prevent its
spreading.
Two different mixtures can be used,
viz: 1, whale oil soap, used at the rate
of Il pound to one gallon of water. This
mixture will not injure the foliage of
tree fruits.
e. A mechanical mixture of kerosene
and water, in the proportion of 1 gall
lon of kerosene to ten of water, or what
is called ten per cent solution. 1t can
be used with safety on all tree fruits
except the peach.
For winter treatment, which means
while the leaves are off, a stronger So
luton of whale oil soap and water can
be used-two pounds of the former to
one gallon of the latter.
Kerosene from twenty to one hundred
per cent has been used with widely diff
ferent results. The why has not been
determined as yet. Consensus of opin-
ion is that 1t should be used on a sun
shiny day-the higher the temperature
the better.
KIND OF SPRAYER.
The whale oil soap solutions can be
used with any of the better class of
sprayers. The kerosene mixture re-
quires specially constructed one, with
device for the mechanical mixing of
the kerosene and water, of which there
are number on the market.
In the destruction of trees, shrubs,
vines, ETC., infested wit hthe San Jose
scale, great care should be taken that
stumps and sprouts are grubbed out
thoroughly and burned with the trunk
and branches-otherwise your work
will be in vain and the infection but
temporarily checked, not destroyed.
