QUEEN REGENT IN DANGER.
Movement In Madrid to Force Her Into
Exile Because OF Her Sympathy
for Jesuits.

Madrid, Feb. 1s.-The probable out
come of the present trouble in Spain
will be the forcing into exile of the
queen regent. All the army organs,
which are censored solely by the min
lister of war, are printing open attacks
on the queen, and the only reason
she has not been exiled is the knowl-
edge that the regency would lawfully
descend to the princess of the AS
turias, who is as pronounced a pro-
Jesuit as her mother. Those opposed
to the queen regent are seeking to
work up sentiment in favor of the
regency of Princess Isabella, sister
of the kings late father. If this move
ment obtains sufficient force, the
queen regent will. probably be forced
to flee.

as follows: evil no one arbitrate?
Will no one give us chance of de-

Nlth . Crowd Of 500 Mon and Women
Armed with Hatchets and Axes She
Started Out 1t Daylight and
Kept It Up All Day. ~

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1S.-Yesterday
morning at six o'clock Mrs. Nation
sailed forth from the statehouse
grounds at the head of 500 men and
women, all armed with hatchets and
axes, and moved ON the joints of the
city. The company marched silently
out of the statehouse grounds, down
Kansas avenue, to the fashionable bar
on East Seventh street, kept by Ed
Murphy. Four policemen stood at
the door to guard the entrance. They
commanded the people in very digni-
fed tones to stand back. Smash!
Smashl Smashi" called out Mrs.
Nation. Don't pay any attention to
them" Six Washburn college boys
with battering ram came forward,
and in less time than it takes to tell
1t the big plate glass windows were
shattered into thousands of frag-
ments. Dozens of men then rushed on
the building with their axes and soon
had the doors and window frames cut
entirely away. Then with an exult-
ant cheer the crowd burst into the
building. "Praise God, women. Smash
the bottles and the windows" called
out Mrs. Nation again, and raising
her famous Ratchet she sent it
through window glass that had yet
been left. n
The policemen managed to recover
from their scare by this time and
grabbed Mrs. Nation. They started
OFF with her to the police station as
rapidly as possible, She waved her
arms and frantically called out to her
co-workers: "Oh, keep it up. You
can do it without me. Praise God,
keep it up; keep ON smashing. You
don't need me-
For moment the crusaders were
thrown into confusion by the removal
of their leader, but the crowd surged
forward into the building, and soon
all the front part of the room had
given way, and all could enter at will.
A case of beer was found in the room
and it was soon smashed. Slot ma
chimes, cigar cases, billiard tables,
chairs, counters and even the stoves
were smashed to smithereens. After
being satisfied that there was nothing
else to destroy the crusaders left the
building.

y1ror or Retired omcsr..

Lieut. Gen. Schofeld wrote one of
the most luminous and interesting au-
photographers extant after his retire
ment in 1895, and at 20 he is still a
physically vigorous and mentally ca
pable man. Major Gen. Howard was
in every way more able to command
an army at his retirement for age in
1894 than in 1864 when he marched to
the sea with Sherman. AT II he is still
an active and useful citizen of the re-
public. Major Gen. Wesley Merritt re-
tired last year at Ga. With the eXcep-
tlon OF his gray hair and experience
Merritt is not much less a boy and
far more fit to exercise command than
when he fought so effectively with
Sheridan thirty-six years ago. Gen.
Richard c. Drum, who retired eleven
years ago, is apparently as capable
at rs of directing the Adjutant Cen
erals department as he was in 1889,
when the memorable law operated TO
compel him to step out. Mentally and
physically vigorous, he still keeps step
with the times. Here in Washington
where the retired army officers are
seen in greatest numbers, of all ranks
and degrees of deterioration from ad-
vancing years, the observer requires
no further evidence than his eyes that
nine of every ten are retired long be-
fore their powers are exhausted. 1t
is undeniable, however, that the best
interests Of the service require that in
some manner the mossbacks be side
tracked, and the system of compulsory
retirement is doubtless the fairest
method of accomplishing this end

German VS.. American Experiments.

German and American experiment
stations differ widely and the expert
mental farm is thing almost I'M
known in the former country. This
plan of carrying on a small farm in
connection with the station, where
field and feeding experiments are con-
Quoted on a more or less practical
scale, is referred to as the American
system" Several years ago Professor
Maercker of the Halle station made a
tour of the American stations and was
much impressed with the value Of the
farm portion of the station equipment
as an accessory means of studying GER
tain problems closely related to prac-
tice, and Of verifying and testing the
practical application of laboratory in
vestigations.
The Lauchstadt Experimental farm,
which is connected with the Halle sta
ton, is an outgrowth of Professor
Maercker's American trip, and is the
only German representative of the So
called American system This farm
was started about five years ago. In
addition to its fields and plats, where
experiments in culture, fertilizing and
management of field crops are carried
on, it has a herd Of cattle which are
used for feeding and dairy expert
ments. Several annual reports of its
operations have been reviewed in the
Record as they appeared. The farm
has evidently attracted good deal of
attention in Germany during the few
years it has been in operation, and has
appealed strongly not only 20 practical
farmers and agriculturists, but to
higher officials as well.
AS Is generally known, the German
stations do not have any considerable
area of land or conduct what we un-
derstand as field experiments, except
as they may do so in cooperation with
farmers, their culture work being car
ried on for the most part in vegetation
pots or small plats and quite restrict
ed. The same is true of their feeding
experiments, which are made with q
small number of animals and usually
cover only short periods. While their
strictly scientific experiments have
taught us much regarding the nutri-
ton of animals and the utilization of
food, as well as the methods of in
vestigation, their more practical ex-
periments must be regarded as quite
inferior in point of method to their re-
search work.
The Lauchstadt Experimental farm
was in a sense new departure in ex-
pertinent station work in Germany.
