Moiasses as Pig Feed.

Pigs fed one-half barley and one-half
molasses feed made moderate gains,
but not as great as when fed grain
alone. Molasses feed consists OF one
half beet molasses, three-eighths wheat
bran and one half palm nut meal. The
pork produced by the moiasses feed
was not as solid and Of as high qualit>
as that made on grain alone. Whe'
corn and molasses feed, however, Were
compared, the results were reversed.
On the whole, experimenters conclude
that the addition Of molasses to corn
tends to improve the quality Of the
pork, and that the gain 10 made more
cheaply when grain IL used by itself.
In tho Southern States and In regions
where beet sugar ia produced, molasses
food can probably be utilized to advans-
ags.--Orange Judd Farmer.

mission.

Washington, March 21.--The house
today refused to concur in the senate
amendments to the Puerto Riean relief
bill. The Democrats supported 6. mo-
tion to concur, ON the ground that it
would further delay in extending re-
lief to the inhabitants of the island,
but the Republicans stood firmly be-
hind Chairman Cannon in his demand
that the house should insist upon its
original provision to appropriate not
only the money collected on Puerto
Rlcan goods up to January !, but all
subsequent moneys collected or which
are to be collected. The remainder of
the day was devoted to District of Co.
lumbia business.
Two measures of national Importance
and many of slightly less interest were
passed by the senate today. The leg
lslative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill, carrying more than $685.
100000, was passed without debate.
The measure providing for the appoint
ment of a commission to adjudicate
and settle claims OF the people of the
United States growing out of the war
with Spain was also passed without op-
position.
For a brief time the Puerto Rican
government and tariff measure was un-
der consideration. Foraker, in charge
of the bill, submitted some committee
amendments. A few of them were
agreed to, but the important ones are
still pending. A free trade amend
ment to the bill was offered by Beve-

RIVER OREGON, FRIDAY 2s
BOER SYMPATHlZERS.
New York Mass Meeting Addressed by
MOntagu White.

mohthsu Wnlte.
New York, March l9.-There was
meeting of Boer sympathizers at Cooper
Union tonight, at which George H. van
Hoesen presided. Montague White, the
Boer representative; John f. Mulhol-
land and P. L. Vessels, a representa-
tive of the Orange Free State, made
speeches. Mr.. Van Hoesen prophesied
that mot until all the Beers are in
their graves or all the English are in
flight will the war be over"
Referring to his interview with re-
gard to the probable destruction of
Johannesburg by the Beers, he said:
"A nation making war cannot pro-
vide drawing room for Its enemy.
The Beers would neither have lost nor
gained by the destruction of Bloemfon.
tein; but the case of johannesburg is
different, as it would provide splendid
barrack accommodation for the British,
and by reason of it's location and other
advantages an invaluable base for oper.
ations."
AS to the reported statement OF the
British that President Kruger would be
held personally responsible for any de-
struction OF property he said:
President Kruger is we'll able tc
take care of himself, and if he III not, ]
call upon you to take care of him."
Mr.. Vessels spoke briefly, beginning
with reference to the reverence with
which the Beers regard their women,
and the fact that the women have been
fighting in the trenches. He declared
the Beers had demonstrated and would
demonstrate their right and fitness to
govern themselves. He charged Eng.
land with supplying the natives with
guns to use against the Dutch; with
falsifying the surveys, in order to get
possession of the diamond fields; with
misusing the natives and Beers, and
with other reprehensible things. He
concluded with an appeal that America
intervene to stop hostiliiies, and reiter.
ated the statement that European
nations would have intervened if they
had but known how the United States
stands.

THE CUBAN PRoeLEM.
VIII BE Taken Up When Puerto Rico IL
Out of the Way,

VIII BE Taken Up When Puerto Rico IL
Out of the Way.
New York, March ia special to
the Times from Washington says:
Four weeks hence, the year allowed by
the treaty of peace with Spain for the
Spanish inhabitants OF Cuba to decide
whether they will be Cuban or Spanish
citizens will expire. Immediately
after that date. April IL, according to
the plan laid down by the administra-
tion at the opening OF the present ses-
sion of congress, preparations are to be
made for the holding of municipal elec-
tions and ultimately for the election OF
g convention which will decide upon
the Cuban form of government. To
that government, according to the
original programme, the United States
is to surrender the control of the island.
Whether that programme will be car
ried out in it's entirety cannot certainly
be said. The senate committee Oh
Cuban affairs has the matter before 1t.
The plan was Senator Foraker's, and
he secured the consent OF the admins
tration to it at time when powerful
interests were contending for a differ
ent policy, and when they had pro-
gtessed SO far that the plan had been
announced to the public as the presi.
DENTS plan. Senator Foraker is conf
dent that it will be adopted, and it Ia
understood that this is the reason why
he is SO anxious for the immediate
adoption of civil government for
Puerto Rico, with or without tariff
annex. lie wants Puerto Rico out OF
the way, it is said, in time for the big
ger Cuban problem to have free field.
Senator Platt, OF Connecticut, has
started for Cuba with Senators Aldrich
and Teller. Senator platt is chairman
of committee ON relations with Cuba,
and he, with Senators Aldrich and
Teller, form subcommittee which
has been delegated to go to Cuba and
study the situation. Nothing has been
said about the duration OF the stay the
three senators will make. 1t is UNDER
stood, however, that their visit relates
to the plebiscite OF April IL.

Empress snubs the Powers.

Peking, March 2l.-The ascendency
OF the anti ti-foreign party is becoming
pronounced. The dowager empress
appears unable sufficiently to reward
the officials who exhibit marked hos
tility to everything not Chinese. Hen
Tung, probably the most bitterly anti
foreign official OF the empire, has been
decorated with the three-eyed peacock
feather, which has never been conferred
for 80 years. The notorious LII Peng
Hing, who was dismissed from the
goyernorship Of shantung on Germany's
demand, has been advanced TO the first
rank, and the ex-governor OF Shantung,
Yuh Sen, has been appointed governor
OF the Shang 81 district, snub to the
powers interested, and likely to preju.
dice British interests in the province,
as the powers believe his maladminis-
tration is the cause OF the present state
of affairs in Shantung.

INTERVIEW WITH ITO.
Rumors Of War Between Russia and
Japan Are Unfounded.

KumOrs OF war Between RUSSIA and
Japan Are Unfounded.
New York, March ia dispatch to
the Herald from Yokohama says: Mar
quis Ito, japanese ex-prime minister in
an interview, said:
THE rumors OF war between Russia
and Japan are unfounded newspaper
reports. An agreem ent exists between
Russia and Japan to the effect that
neither power will encroach upon
Corea, and we must believe that Russia
is sincere. The new Russian minister
to Corea has come to Toxic and our re-
lations are most friendly"
Speaking about the South African
war, Marquis Ito said:
"The outcome Of the struggle will be
to increase England's greatness and
arouse new interest in the armies
which her colonies have developed.
England will have trained soldiers all
over the globe.
"The policy OF Japan Is not a colonial
one. The Japanese army and navy are
intended to defend Japan and her In
terests, not for conquest. Japan has
no money for war or sggrandizement.
The new development OF commerce in
the East renders it necessary for each
nation to protect its interests with q
show of power.
''The present reform revolutionary
movement" concluded Marquis Ito,
"is Insignificant because it has no fol.
lowing among the people"
