FUNST0N'S TASK
LITTLE GENERAL STARTS OUT
WITH THE OBJECT or CAP.
TURING AGuiNALDo.
HIS SCHEME A DARING ONE

With Small Party Of Americans and
Few Trusted Native Scouts He
Will Visit the Hiding Place Of the
Insursent chief-Plans to Be Taken
Before AsuinaIdo a Prisoner and
Then Turn the Tables
Manila, March 25.-General Funston
Is now engaged in a daring project
which promises to be the greatest and
most romantic achievement OF his
eventful career. In January, from his
hiding place in the province Of Isa-
bella, Aguinaldo wrote letters ana
thematizing the sub-chiefs who had
taken the oath of allegiance to the
United States. Later Aguinaldo or
dered insurgent forces in Southern
LuZon to join him at a rendezvous in
Isabella province. The rebel officer
entrusted with these orders secretly
negotiated with the Americans. On
securing information General Funston
planned Aguinaldo's capture and with
General MacArthurs authorization
General Funston proceeded two weeks
ago to make the attempt. General
Funston, with Surgeon Major Harris,
Captain Newton of the Thirty-fourth
infantry, Lieutenant Admire of the
Twenty-second infantry, Lieutenant
Mitchell of the Fortieth infantry, six
veteran scouts and a company OF ma
tive scouts, all picked men, embarked
on the gunboat Vicksburg and were
landed on a remote beach above Ba-
leo. It was arranged that Aguinaldo's
emissaries with the native scouts
should pass themselves off as insur-
gent troops who, having captured Gen.
eral Funston and, others were taking
them as prisoners to Aguinaldo. At
the right time, when brought before
Aguinaldo, General Funston was to
give a signal, when the tables were
to be turned and Aguinaldo was to be
seized. Six days march into the in
terror were contemplated. Trsachery
was considered possible, but every
precaution was taken. The troops in
New Viscaya and New Ecija and the
gunboats Vicksburg and Albany we're
to cooperate with General Funston's
force.
Colonel Rosario, with 81 men and
sc rifles, has surrendered to Colonel
Baldwin of the Fourth infantry, at
San Francisco de Malabon, Cavite
province.
Lieutenant Dean of Troop c, Sixth
cavalry, has engaged a force of in
surgents at Tubig, Lagunda province,

Persistent Productiveness . Thing
to BE Considered.
The results of experiments with va
rieties of grain to ascertain their rela-
tive pfoductiveness become much
more reliable and conclusive when the
average experience OF a series Of years
can be given. In this way slight varia-
tons, arising from inequality OF soil
and variability Of season, are to a
large extent equalized. Director Will
liam Saunders Of Colorado has carried
on tests which. are among the most
thorough and extensive of any recently
made, and he reports the following
facts:
~, Out OF Al different sorts Of oats
which have been subject to uniform
tests for six years 8 have appeared
among the II most productive sorts
every year for the whole period, and
the other three places have been filed
during the time at irregular intervals
by six other varieties. Hence only Ii
of the Al. varieties have produced a

crop sufficiently large during the whole
of that time to entitle them to a place
with the best IL sorts. -
On comparing the best II varieties
this year with the best - of 1899 it
is found that 10 of them are the same.
Taking the results of the cropping of
the II most productive sorts of oats at
the central experimental farm for six
years they have given an average yield
for the whole period of So bushels II
pounds per acre. The remaining %
varieties have averaged. during the
same time 81 bushels Z pounds per
acre. an average difference in favor of
the productive sorts of Is bushels 10
pounds per acre.
The value Of these figures is more
fully realized if we bear in mind that
every bushel of oats added to the aver
age crop puts about ST 100000 into the
pockets of Canadian farmers.
In spring wheat there is similar per-
sistent prOductiveness in certain sorts.

have been tested for six consecutive
years eight Of these have appeared
among the ~ most productive every

Items About Alfalfa.

Alfalfa has been successfully grown
at the Wyoming station, located at an
altitude of more than 6.0O0 feet.
Seeding without a nurse crop is ad-
vised when there is difficulty in obtain
ing good stand. An average decreas-
ed yield OF one-half ton followed seed
ing with oats for three successive
years. ..."1r
Turkestan alfalfa gave better aver
age yield for three years than did the
common alfalfa and proved especially
hardy. -
The principal cause of winter killing
of alfalfa seems to be the freezing Of
water around the crowns Of the plant.
Dodder is one Of the serious foes Of
alfalfa in Wyoming. Flowing alfalfa
under and cultivating the land for a
year or two in corn, potatoes and the
like are recommended.

DIFFICULTY ARRANGED.
Telegraph Companies VIII Send Out
Board of Trade Quotations.

Chicago, March 25.-Oficial an
nouncement was made during the day
that the controversy between the Chi
cago board of trade and the tele-
graph companies over the collection
and dissemination of market quota
tions has been settled. Within a
week, if not sooner, it is expected
quotations will be sent out from this
market to all parts of the country as
they were before the trouble started
many months ago. The agreement
was made at a meeting at which were
present President Warren of the board
of trade, Colonel Clowry of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, attor-
neys for all the parties interested, and
several members of the board of trade
quotation committee.
The trouble started last July and
since that time the country has not
had Chicago grain quotations, except
as they were sent out over private
wires from brokers, or in private mes
sages, or in newspapers after the
market closed. '.r 49,.
1t is understood the agreement calls
for the payment of an aggregate sum
Of $50, 900 per annum by the telegraph
companies to the board, the mafnte-
nance Of rates in the local field so as
not to crush out the Cleveland Tele-
graph company which has been hand
ling the quotations in Chicago under
the direction of the board and which
has 20 year contract with the
board and the control by the board
over applications for quotation serv-
ice. ... ~. - ...-
