Makes Money Raising Cane.

Cane raising is an enterprise which
is perhaps more profitable than any
other branch of farming. One OF the
most extensive syrup makers in the
county realizes snug sum annually
from a cane patch of hardly twenty
acres. He states that an acre OF cane
will produce on an average OF eight
barrels of syrup. 1t is obvious from
this statement that this branch OF ag-
riculture far exceeds all others from a
profitable point of view. Why don t
the farmers of Terrell county give
more of their attention to it

 Open Hostilittes.

Washington, May 15.-The president to-day sent to the senate a letter from General Otis transmitting a translation of letter written by Aguinaldo to a friend in Manila warning him to leave that city. Aguinaldo's letter is dated Malolos, June i, 1899. and is addressed to senor Benito Lagardo. In it Agui- naldo says:
 1T beg you to leave Manila with your family and to come here to Malolos, but not because I want to frighten you. merely wish to warn you to your satis- faction, although it is not yet known the day or the week."
 In his communication of transmittal General Otis says: '"The letter was for warded to me and shows how absurd is the charge that the American authori- ties in Manila inaugurated the war" General Otis states that this letter is one of a number written by Aguinaldo to his friends in Manila, warning them to leave the city fo rtheir safety. He adds that many families left the city in consequence of these warnings.

Washington, May 15.-Mr. Clark of Montana fairly swept the senate with surprise to-day by a formal announce ment that he had sent his resignation as senator to the governor of Montana. The announcement came without pre- vious notice, and probably not half a dozen persons in Washington knew that it was to be made. MT Clark struck just at the instant the iron was hottest, for MT. Chandler, chairman of the com mittee on privileges and elections, had given notice that at Il o'clock he would call up for consideration the resolution reported from the committee declaring MT. Clark not to be entitled to his seat in the senate as a result of the inves- tigation of bribery charges against MT. Clark.

Helena, Mont, May 15.-Acting Gov ernor Spriggs tonight appointed w. A. Clark, of Butte, United States senator to serve until the next legislature shall elect his successor. Senator Clark s resignation was filed early in the day with the governor. Governor Spriggs has all along been friend of Senator Clark. GovernorrSmith, partisan of the Daly people, left the state two weeks ago for California to attend to some mining cases. At that time there was no thought of Senator Clark resigning The resignation came as a surprise to the people of the state. During the day Governor Spriggs received a great many telegrams from all over the state urg- ing him to appoint Senator Clark, alleg- ing that he was the real choice of large majority of the democrats and large proportion of the republicans. Governor Spriggs was besieged all day by individuals and by delegations friendly and hostile to MT. Clark.

larger numbers than after the occupa- tion of Bloamfontein. One officer of the Transvaal artilerys says: "There will be no serious fighting this side of Pretoria as Bereniging, on the Vaal is indefen- stble. Heavy guns are being mounted at Pretoria, but Generals Botha and Limmer are agreed that ultimate suc- cess is impossible. President Kruger is obstinate, and majority of the Trans vaalers hold firmly with him." It is es- timated that the Transvaalers can still muster 30,000 men on the fighting line.
 General Buffers advance, as his tele grams indicate, was by the instructions of Lord Roberts and it will cease or go forward as Lord Roberts may direct. Certain commentators affiliated to the war office say that General Buffers or ders to keep the Boers employed have been supplemented by an order to drive them completely out of Natal and then to move to Harrismith.

MORE BISHOPS FOR M. F. CHURCH.
Conference vOtes for Two Moro, Also
 for Colored BiEhop.

Chicago May 15.--The general con- ference of the Methodist Episcopal church voted to-day to increase by two it's board of general superintendents thus adopting the majority report of the committee on episcopacy This was the result of vote taken after one of the most exciting and eloquent debates of the quadrennial conference The pro- ceedings were watched by a crowd that taxed the capacity of the auditorium to it's utmost.
 The majority report, which was con- sidered as being in the nature of a compromise, was adopted after two mi nority reports, one providing that no bishops be elected, and another provid- ing for the election of four additional members of the board of general super intendents, had been voted down. Pre- vious to the voting the committees re- port favoring the election of a colored bishop was adopted by large majority. One ballot on the election of the two general superintendents was taken just before the close of the session, but it's result will not be announced until to- morrow.
