upon the State to give especial caSand
attention to the protection and Neyel-

A large syndicate is buying up all
the fertilizer factories Of this and
other States, and we will soon have a
gigantic phosphate trust somewhat
similar to the Standard oil trust. /

has bought up some of the land phos-

drop.

Horticulturists generally will no
doubt be very much interested in Il
lately announced remedy for the San
Jose scale, an insect that requires no
introduction, as it has long been
known as the harbinger of woe and
financial injury for the afflicted Or
chardist. Crude petroleum, accord
ing to a paper recently read before
the association for the advancement OF
science, is the antidote that destroys
and prevents the termination OF
San Jose scales. Experiments with
crude petroleum have demonstrated
that it not only destroys this pernicious
insect, but that it stimulates the
growth of the tree to which it is ap-
piled. The results of these expert
ments have proved the fallacy of two
long standing beliefs, the first and
foremost of which is that the San Jose
scale can only be eradicated by de-
stroying the tree infested with the
bug, and second that petroleum baths
are fatal to trees. Oil, when applied
to the leaves of trees, has bad effect,
it is true, but then the remedy re-
ferred to is intended for the trunk Of
the tree only.

SENATOR BROWNS TALK.
Made Fierce Arrangement of John q.
Benbrook.

Made Fierce Arrangement OF John n.
Benbrook.
( When court met yesterday morning
there was a large crowd present. The
court room was jammed The people
who have watched this trial and others
who have merely read Of it wanted to
bear the statement Of the prosecution's
case by its ablest exponent, Senator
Brown.
The assistant counsel began his ar
gument the first thing in the morning
and he spoke for three hours, until the
noon recess, and then more than a half
hour during the afternoon. He went
over the case quite fully and many
people considered that he made the
best and most logical argument in the
case.
Mr.. Rogers and also Judge Powers
have set forth a peculiar proposition
in this case" he said. Mr.. Rogers
did so and Judge Powers reiterated it,
That was their challenge that the YER
diet in this case should be either con-
viction Of murder in the first degree
or acquittal. But I am surprised that
that statement should be made 1t is
not your duty to consider the case in
this light. While the states counsel
believe that this is a case Of murder
in the first degree, we do not ask YOU
to violate the law. 1t would be a VIC
lation of your duty to consider the case
in this way
We, as attorneys. are sworn to try
this case as well as you are sworn. If
you think this defendant is guilty of
murder in the first degree you must
find verdict, regardless of public
clamor- And 50 on with murder in its
varying degrees. There is murder in
/ the second degree. there is manslaugh-
/ ter. voluntary and involuntary. All Of
these possible verdicts must be consid-
cred. The information charging muir
der in the first degree charges murder
/ in all its varying degrees, too. They
are included in the charge.
Try this case on its merits: don't
/ try it on statements of counsel not in
/ trCduced in evidence. on what thew
have read from the newspapers. on
what they may say about detectives.
There IS another proposition in this
ease which / don't understand-retri-
butive justice. What is it? l don't
know what he means by it."

with her. But il is not the first time
that a good man has fallen in love with

w aShlngtOn, March 9.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today
agreed to report the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty amending the Clayton Bulwer
treaty with an amendment granting
authority for the defense of the canal
by this country when constructed. The
committee was practically unanimous
IN favor Of the amendment. Some OBJ
lection was made by Senator Morgan of
Alabama, but he will not oppose the
measure in the senate accepting the
change in order to hasten the action of
the senate.
Quite an elaborate report has been
prepared by Mr.. Morgan, which will

tive session when the treaty is re-
ported. 1t is the opinion of members
Of the senate that the change will but
little delay the ratification of the
treaty as amended.
The amendment is brief. 1t simply
provides that the restrictions in the
treaty shall not operate 20 prevent the
United States using it's own forces for

tied States and the maintenance of or

Senator Morgan was the only enem-
Der of the committee who cast his vote
against the amendment, Senators Ba-
con and Daniel the only other Demo-
Gratis present voting with the Republi-
cans. They also voted yfth the Repub-
licans TO have the treaty reported as
amended.
Senator Morgan talked at length dur
ing the sitting of the committee IN OPP
position TO the amendment, practically
consuming the entire time of the ses-
sion.
Favored Utmost Liberality.
He contended for the utmost hber-
atty toward other powers in the Use
of the proposed canal and held that
American interests were fully safe
guarded by the treaty as it stands He
also contended that an effort to amend
the agreement might result in its -
feat and indicated a purpose to op-
pose it 10 the utmost.
Some of the other senators expressed
the hope that he would not go to this
extent and before the meeting ad-
journed, there was felt to be some
ground for the opinion that the Ala
bama senator would content himself
with stating his opposition.
While no member was authorized to
speak for Great Britain, the opinion
was expressed that the government of
that country would agree to the pro-
posed modification of the treaty.
The following is the text of the
amendment to the Hay-PauncefOte
treaty:

Trusts Are Advancing Prices to uet Back Honey With Interest Ex-

The trusts have begun squeezing process, says the New York World. Prices in all commodities controlled by them have been advanced.

the shippers being that as ''every- thing else is being advanced we must advance our prices or lose money"
 One of the biggest coal shippers in this city said yesterday to reporter for the World that the audacity of the coal trust was ''the limit' He said that the trust had advanced prices to shippers and wholesalers nearly dol lar Q ton on all the most popular an thracite grades since Nov. G.
 He said that not only did the coal trust aim to recoup its campaign con tributions to the republican party, but also its losses during the recent strike. Not only had the coal trust jumped prices nearly dollar ton on an average, but the end was by no means in sight. He thought it highly probable that when cold weather sr- rived the trust might have it's prices up $l or S2 net advance above present rates.
 As it is now retail dealers are forced to charge their customers from S5.50 $6.25 a ton for grate and furnace coal. As the trust has jumped the prices up on them they have passed it along to the consumer, who pays exorbltant prices for his coal now in order that the coal barons may be richly com pensated for the assessments they paid to elect Mckinley.
