the Democratic party abandons the
principals laid down in the platforms

Pekin, July 1.-THE ministers of the
powers now freely admit that the pros
pect of a conclusion of the negotiations
is growing darker. The situation is
most serious. as the deadlock has
continued for more than a month. The
meeting arranged for yesterday was
postponed because it was apparent
that the proceedings would be fruit
less. 1t Is asserted that either Great
Britain or Russia must make material
concessions before an agreement is
possible.

Gasoline engines are to quite an eX-
tent superseding windmills as a cheap
motive power on the farm. In the main
the gasoline engine is very much more
desirable than the windmill and, once
started, needs almost as little super
vision. Where windmill can be made
serviceable on a tower-Tot to exceed
40 feet in height, it is probably. so far
as pumping water is concerned, the
very cheapest power obtainable; but
where higher towers are required and
where power is needed for grinding,
Smelling corn, for running a separator
and saving wood the gasoline engine
is by far the better.

Nicholas IL, car of Russia, holds a

his appointment. The head Of the war
office was present when Queen Victoria
suggested that the car should be made a
British colonel, and it is said that he
spent some time in trying to persuade
the queen that such a course was impos-
sible, inasmuch as every other crowned
head in Europe would expect the same
honor. Queen Victoria listened patiently
and then said quietly, ut may be impos-
sible, but it will have to be done all the

We are again asked about the squir-
Retail grass, the pest Of the lawn. We
la e practically eXterminated it from
our own lawn by close and frequent
moving with the lawn mower just as
It gets ready to throw mp the seed head.
The cuttings should be gathered in a
grass catcher and burned as soon as
they are dry enough. The whole secret
of getting rid of it lies in preventing it
from going to seed upon the lawn, as
the plant is an annual and propagatcd
solely from the seed borne the previous
season. If not looked after, 1t will
ruin a lawn in two seasons.

formation of a confidential nature from
Cuba bearing upon the many claims
submitted. Major Alexander w.
Schwenk, second artillery, of General
Woods command, was charged with
the duty of collecting this information.
He sent out circulars under a specially
prepared letter head, bearing the name
of the commission, which in the opin-
ion of the commission were calculated
to invite a wholesale submission of
claims, something far different from
the task the commission had in mind
for him. Some of the circulars haVe
reached Washington and the major has
been instructed to change his mode
of operation.

eft to Crops.
Topeka, Kan, July 17.-While rain
has fallen during the past "a hours, in
various parts of Kansas, the drought
is not yet broken and little benefit has
been experienced by the crops. The
rains have been small local affairs, and
their only effect has been to cool the
atmosphere and freshen vegetation to
a certain extent.
In the eastern division of the state
crops are suffering more than in any
other. The damage done in the central
part is less severe, while in the west
ern part the conditions are the most
favorable To obtain water for stock
and for fire protection is a much
studied problem and one that will not
be solved until the coming of the rain.
