FRENCH AGMCULTUR|SIS
FNDNEWU USE FOR Cannon.
THEY HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED Sue
CESSFULLY AGAINST HAIL
STORMS, AND ARE NOW
TO BE USED AGAINST FROST.
\ CANNON CONGRESS- CALLED AND
AMERICANS INVITED TO
ATTEND.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The
French agriculturists intend to fight
frost and g~rasshoppers, as we'll as hail
storms, with cannon and smoke, ac-
eording to an interesting report receiv-
ed at the State department from Con-
sui Covert at Lyons. 1t has just been
determined to hold an international
cannon congress at Lyons in November
next, and Consul Covert is authorized
to extend an invitation to Americans to
take part. The success hat has at
tended the experiment of firing at ap-
preaching hallstorms to prevent their
ravages upon French vineyards, has
prompted steps for a still further ex-
tension of lne usage of cannon in agri-
cultural societies circles.
The theory in some quarters prevails
that it is not the frost itself which
blasts the budding fruit, but the suns
rays fonowing a night Of frost, which
find the grape, already sensitive from
the cold, an easy victim to the heat.
Cannon fired horizontally over vine
yards at Asst at sunrise produced inter-
esting results. A strip Of vineyard 500
feet wide over which the smoke from
two cannon had been spread was en-
tirely protected from the effects of the
frost, while the vines on either side
were badly injured.
An invasion OF grasshoppers is an
nounced to occur this summer in South
ern Algeria and the n mouths
are to be turned against them also.

LONDON, May PA sensational

murder of 1883. The victim, a woman
named Annie Austin, % years old. was
found mortally injured in a bed room
on Sunday morning and was removed
to a hospital, where she died. The
murderer escaped and the police were
not notified of the crime until early
yesterday. The murderer's long start
n the total lack of a description of
hin render his apprehension unlikely.
The wounds on the lower part of the
victims body are too revolving for de-
scription. The woman was conscious
when found, but died without making
a statement.

terrain Church adopted the judiciary
committees report with regard to an
Interpretation or article 10 of the
creed. The action of the assembly is
in effect to exclude members of secret
orders from admission to the church. 1t
is also interpreted by some of the dele
gates to mean the expulsion of mem
bers of the church who now belong to
the secret societies. The final discus
sion on the question was long and heat

byterian church for years must be turn
ed out of doors. | want to tell you,
fathers and brothers, that if we pass
this report without amendment, we are
going to make more trouble than the
United Presbyterian church has ever
seem"
Some members of the assembly who
are most violently opposed to secret or
ders objected to the section of the re-
port of the committee which removed
the ban of the church from organiza-
tons which do not inculcate a Christ
less religion.
R. G. Campbell, who moved to strike
out the section of the report, said that
this testimony does not include such or
ders, and held that labor unions should
not be approved by the church. This
idea was strongly ODDOSed.

and if the report is adopted there will
be no advance asked for in the wages
of this ulvision of workers who are
members Of the Amalgamated Associa-

There is no increase recommended in
the wages of the tin workers except on
large gauges. The only general de-
mand for an advance, it was stated,
will be on the iron scale based on the
pudding price. This increase, it is said,
is from 10 to Is per cent and affected
