FRANKFORT, KY, April 3--Tele-
grams more significant than the bare
wording of them might indicate passed
between Democratic Governor Beck
HON, of this State, and Governor
Mount. of Indiana, to-day. Governor
Mount made reQuisition on Governor
Backham for a warrant of arrest
against Rudolph Grossman, convict
| whose term in the penitentiary will
end tomorrow and who is wanted for
trial on criminal charge at New Al
I bany, Ind. The Indiana officials re-
Gently applied to the Democratic Off
Gals at the penitentiary with requi-
sition from Governor Mount recognize
| ing Taylor as Governor, and they re-
fused to honor the requisition. To-
day when the requisition was made on
| Governor Beckham, he sent the follow
| ing telegram to Indiana's Governor:
"A reQuisition from you for the ar
rest of one Grossman, wanted in
Floyd county, Ind, has been presented
to me. l will gladly honor it if you
| will first assure me that any requisi-
| ton issued by me as Governor upon
| you will also be honored. This under
! standing is desired because of certain
expressions attributed to you in the
| press"
Governor Mount answered as fol-
lows:
Replying to your telegram Of the
! Sd inst, cannot enter into any COM
| pact agreement that shall become bind
| ing. This would be an unwarranted
departure from executive practice and
| the laws. / must reserve the right to
| determine each requisition on its mer-
| it's
| Governor Beekham tonight made
the following statement:
The effort in this reply to create
| the impression that | seek TO make
compact on the subject OF acquisitions
with Governor Mount is ridiculous Of
| course every one understands that a
reQuisition must be considered on its
merits by the Governor. My object
was to discover whether Governor
Mount now recognizes Taylor or my
self as Governor of Kentucky. II he
recognizes me as such then his requi-
| sition to me will be considered If he
recognizes Taylor as Governor then he
should send his acquisitions to him"
| Ex-Secretary of State, Charles Fin
! ley, and others who are wanted in the
Goebel assassination case are in In
diana and Governor Mounts telegram
| is generally interpreted to mean that
| he will not honor any acquisitions OF
| this character unless signed by Tay-
| lor. Governor Beckham made requi-
sition on Governor Nash, of Ohio, for
/ the warrant of Jacob Craig, who is
under arrest in Cincinnati, and is
wanted for trial at Covington Last
week Governor Nash declined to is
sue the warrant on requisition, hold
ing that as long as the Kentucky Gov
ernorship is in contest both Governors
should make the requisition.

a telling effect on their nerves. David
Mcclure had some teeth knocked out
by having a revolver thrust in his
mouth. The deputies traced the out
laws some five or six miles over into
Pennsylvania, but lost all trace of them
and returned empty handed. There is
some talk here of the County Court
offering a reward for their capture,
but it is not assured that they will.
Popular belief is that the robbers are
not strangers, but parties well ac-
quainted with the family victimized.

"In the East the loser wins"

Gin the East the loser wins.
This was the very opposite remark
of one of Eddie Gardeners admirers,
who was discussing his battle with
Dave Sullivan Monday night. 1t .ex-
presses the general sentiment here
concerning the fight. The Associated
Press report, which was published fully
in the Register alone, indicates that
the decision should have gone to Ed
die without question in the sixteenth
round 1t was very evident from the
disposition of the crowd, that this was
also the popular idea OF the matter at
the ringside, since the telegram adds
that several persons had to be arrest
ed before the disturbance ended.
The audience evidently wanted fair
play. The club officials plainly did
not. Any other view of the matter
would be unreasonable. Nobody in
Wheeling appears to be certain about
the identity of referee Madden. 1t is
not thought that he is the ex-pugilist.
Whoever he may be, ne is either
rank robber or a novice at the game.

thus giving him an opportunity to re-

ing, even if such popular boxer as
Oscar Gardner were SO favored The
crowd thought Gardner had won, and
so he had.
The only criticism Of the Gardeners
heard here, applied to their continu-
ing the battle after the sixteenth
round Joe Gardner, a brother, said
he was surprised that Oscar would
agree to continue, but supposed that
Oscar and Eddie regarded Sullivan as
"all in," and Eddie went in to finish
him in the seventeenth round. 1t is
the popular impression that Eddie
worked fast after the sixteenth and
wore himself out while Sullivan was
regaining his strength, and the result
in the nineteenth is accounted for on
this theory.
Eddie and Oscar were expected home
last night, but did not arrive. They
probably decided to devote day in
New York to some plain talk. They
will probably arrive to-day.

DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE.
Good Work Done for Farmers
by Mckinley.

The diseases Of farm animals have re-
ceived special study in the Department
of Agriculture in the last four years.
Nearly 2,000000 doses Of backleg vac
cine have been distributed among the
farmers and cattle owners in the infected
districts, with the result that the mortal
ity among the young cattle in the infect
ed districts has been reduced from ten to
fifteen per cent annually to one-hnlf Of
enc per cent. In the case OF sheep, the
gasoline process for DISCRIMINATING para
sites has met with great success. In hog
cholera and swine plague seventy 10
eighty per cent of treated animals have
been saved.
Butter, Eggs and Pork.
Encouraging results have been reached
in the shipment of butter and eggs 10
England and also remote points in Asia.
The inspection Of pork advanced from
% 900, $50 in 1896 to los 1913, 1873 in 1899.
or nearly 500 per cent.
Aiming to create home supply Of
chicory, the department has seen the i'm
ports fall from value of 1928, 2293l in
1896 to S13.470 in 1899.
In seed testing and in seed and plant
introduction a large number Of improved
products have been added to American
cultivation, notably resistant alfalfa
from Turkestan, drought-resisting
grass from southern Russia, and several
cereals adapted to the arid regions
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
As soon as Porto Rico began TO be- OF
special interest an exhaustive report was
prepared on the commerce of that island,
setting forth in the fullest possible man
ner the character of the trade carried on
with the several foreign countries, and
especially with the United States.
Later a report Of 100 pages was pub
lished regarding the trade of the Philip
pines, embracing practically all the avail
able statistics on the subject that could
he collated from the official import aud
export returns OF the various countries
enjoying commercial intercourse with The
islands.
Owing to the scarcity of reliable data
relative to Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. the preparation of the re-
ports on these former Spanish posses
sions required a vast amount of research.
Grasses and Forage Plants.
Experiments with grasses and forage
plants have been vigorously prosecuted
during the past three years. These eX-
periments are necessary in order that
rancherS and farmers may be Informed
of the kinds suitable for their respective
districts. After these preliminary facts
are determined the promising varieties
can he recommended and adopted with
out further and useless expenditure Of
time and money.
