New York, Dee. 81. - \ special to
the Herald from Washington says: 1t
has developed that the United States
cruiser Montgomery has been on Il Sc
cret mission in Liberia, Africa. per.
formed, it is believed. with Il view to
displaying the American flag on Lii
berian waters and the locating of Il
site for an American cOaling station
on the Liberian coast. While officials
Of the navy department maintain that
the cruise vas of an ordinary rEarac-
ter, it is significant that it has been
kept a profound mystery up TO this
time, none Of the vessels movements
having been recorded in the daily bull
letin published by the bureau Of navi-
CATION. 1t is further regarded as sig
niticant that the Montgomcry's cruise
in Liberian waters was made ut Il
time when reports We're in circulation
that Germany. Great Britain and Italy
had designs on the territory of the lit
tie republic, and these were so persis-
tent that Secretary Hay dernhed il adj
visable to make inquiry of til" powers
named. These inquiries resulted in
assertions that none of tile foreign
governments contemplated interfering
with Libcrian affairs.
London. Dee. 3l-lt has hcrn learned
by a representative of tie Associated
Press that the United States cruiser
MoEtgomery's visit to I:beria is APP
parently the result OF GvrrturrS made
to Washington by that republic.
Though the British government is in
complete Ignorance Of The purpose of
the MoEtgGmery's mission. TIL" rstab-
lishment Of a coaling station in Ii
IBERIA by the United StauS is regarded
as scarcely probable as ii is ;sS"ri"d.
no Liberian port has "ny facilities: for
coaling. all of them being open AID
surf bound.
The Associated Press representative
learns, however that q: far more i'm
portant step is under consideration. 1t
consists in a joint request of the Unit
ed States and Great Britain upon
France to define the boundary be-
tween the territory she claims and
that claimed by Liberia. This step is
not yet decided upon. but Great Brit
ain only awaits the United States as
sent to become Il party to such Il re-
quest. 1t is alleged that France for
many years has been r~ncroaching on
Liberia. and it was only by Il S;renu-
GUS protest of the United States that
she was prevented from a%ppropria'inG
q large slice of Liberia in 1892. -Ac-
cording to Hon. Arthur PonSonby.
managing director of the Liberia rub
Der syndicate which recently guaran-
teed the interest of Liberals public
debt, the Montgomcly's visit was
probably prompted by a desire to as
certain the extent Of French activity.

take up the breeding of fancy poultry
they will buy standard bred males OF
the varieties that suit them best, and
improve their run down f1ocks They
are educated to know that it takes
no more feed or care to raise a good

The Show As An Educator,

The Poultry show is an educator in
three distinct degrees; the experienced
fancier, the novice or beginner, aud
the farmer.
It is an educator to the novice, for
by taking his birds to the show he
learns to know his best birds Many
beginners expect that nearly every
bird that patches will be capable of
carrying off the ribbons. and as they
do not feel like paying entry fees on
all their birds they often leave some
