reservoirs are employed, Is to keep the
liquid constantly agitated to prevent
the settling Of the poison to the bot
tom of the tank. This may be accom-
plished by constant stirring with a pad
die, by shaking, but preferably by
throwing a stream of the liquid back
into the tank. Many OF the larger
pumps are now constructed with two
discharge orifices with this latter OBJ
ject in view or are provided with spe-
cial agitators, and the use of such Is
recommended.
In spraying orchard trees It will be
found convenient in going between the
rows to spray on each side, half Of
each tree in the row at time and fin
ish on the return rather than attempt
to spray all sides of one tree before
taking up another.
The object In spraying is to coat
every leaf and part Of the plant as
lightly as compatible with thorough
ness, and to avoid waste In doing this
a mist spray Is essential. The applica-
ton to any part should stop when wa
ter begins to drip from the leaves. A
light rain will not remove the poison,
but dashing one will probably ne
cessitate renewal of the application.

The cost Of spraying outfit for or

SECOND
General Conktin Pushing Work Of
Organization. j

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 14.-Adjutant Cen
eral Conklin is pushing Onward the
work of organization of the Second
regiment of the South Dakota state
guard. 1T was at first intended to work
slowly in that direction, but as the
supplies have been found to be ample
for the purpose it is probable that the
regiment will be pretty well organized
before spring. 1t Is the hope of the
adjutant general to place four COM
pantes of the new regiment in the Black
Hills section OF the state, where, as a
battalion, they can keep up an organ
ization Of their own, to a large extent
Independent Of the organization east Of
the river, and hold their own reunions.
Applications for companies in the new
regiment are already far beyond the
places to be filled, and at least half Of
the towns which wish to be given COM
panies will be disappointed. The com
panies yet to be located will be selected
to the best advantage. The companies
of the new regiment already mustered
in are A at Britton, B at Clark, and
at Centeryille, Other companies will
soon be mustered in at Flandreau and
Canton, but just what other places will
secure companies is not yet definitely
decided.

Caracas Government Is Given . Hin,
by Uncle Sam.


Willemstadt, Island of Curacao, Dec.
16.-There has been a halt in the eX-
change of communications between
Germany and Venezuela, owing to the
publication in the newspapers of Cara
cas- Of cable dispatches from the United
States setting forth that the govern
ment at Washington will not oppose
any steps which Germany may take
to enforce her rights IN Venezuela,
with the exception of preventing the
annexation of Venezuela territory. AS
n result the neWSpap attacks on Ger
many have ceased, but Semi-official pa
pers are now attacking the United
states, saying Washington, in author
izing Germany to take action in her
dispute with Venezuela looks upon the
latter country as being part Of the ter
ritOry of the United States.
1t is believed here Germany, at the
end Of the present month, will take
steps to obtain due Acknowledgement
of her claims for 49, 00, 900 arising
from losses sustained by erma citl-
zens during the last revolution here,
and disallowed by Venezuela, who
answered las yea that Germany
should present her claims before spe-
cial Venezuelan ourts appointed to
pass upon such matters. But Germany,
the United States, Great Britain and
France refused to appeal to these
courts. Italy alone, being bound by
the former treaty, was obliged to pre-
sent her claims to the Venezuelan
courts. The situation in Venezuela is
critical and fears are expressed Of a
general uprising there in January.

The bill also provides for the collec-

"At present our w people who ship
goods to these islands are handicapped

provides that all duties and col

Washington. Dec. 16.-After an ad-
1ournment of three days the house met
at noon today. The senate bill was
passed continuing the industrial COM
mission until February Is next.
Mr.. Payne of New York, chairman of
the ways and means committee, re-
ported back the substitute for his bill
to temporarily provide revenues for the
Philippines. Mr.. Richardson offered
the minority report. Both reports were
ordered printed.
The house agreed to the special order
that the bill be considered Tuesday
and Wednesday next until 4 O'Clock on
the latter day, when the previous ques-
ton Shall be considered as ordered.
The Minority's Protest.
The minority report, signed by all the
democrats of the ways and means COM
mittee except Robertson of Louisiana,
says in part:
1.-THE measure Is but another step in
the well-marked lina of imperialism. 1t
is enacting a policy of pure colonial
ism and the worst form Of that policy.
We are opposed to our government at
tempting to hold territories as colonies
and treating the inhabitants thereof as
subjects. imposing upon them a
government of force. This is the
method of an empire instead of a re-
public. We oppose the whole policy of
the majority in dealing with the Phil
ippine archipelago. We believe, instead
Of the effort they are making to set up
and hold permanent colonies there, we
should long since awe i~naugurated a
policy of assuring the people of those
islands a stable government and ulti-
mate independence. But, even If it be
admitted we are to embark upon the
dangerous and desperate policy of col
ony-holding, we could not give our as
sent to the passage of the pend
ing measure, which is unjust
and illiberal in the extreme" The
report says the secretary of war made
the laws for the Philippines and is Civ
en- more power than most kings. 1t
says the bill declares the Philippines
foreign territory n applies the Ding
ley rates n then proceeds to denouncc
the Dingley law as a trust-binding
measure. The report closes by saying
the people of the Philippines annot be
made citizens and we cannot hold them
as subjects without the most radical
changes In our form Of government.
To Extradite Taylor.
Mr.. Robinson Of Indiana introduced
two measures designed to secure the
extradition Of ex-Goxernor Taylor of
Kentucky from Indiana, where he is
said to be sojourning. to Kentucky.
where he is wanted in connection with
the Goebel tragedy.
Adjourned until Tuesday.
Hepburn Canal Bill Favored.
The house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, ut it's meeting
today, voted to favorably report the
Hepburn bill, providing for the con-
%struction of the Nicaragua canal. MI.
Fletcher of Minnesota was the only
member voting against reporting the
bill. Chairman Hepburn was directed
to urge the measure to consideration
and vote IN the house at the earliest
practicable time.

Quadri-State College Association Is
Being Discussed.

BONG O'SSuSSSA'
Mitchell, S. D., Dec. ia movement
is on foot to organize several OF the
leading colleges Of North and South
Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota n an
association for the promotion OF foot
ball. The move was started by the
president of the North Dakota Agrl-
cultural college, who wants to include
several calleges from each of the four
state and put the teams on a legitimate
basis. The president has written to
President Graham Of Dakot univer-
sity of this city. outlining something
of the plan, and suggests the calling OF
a meeting of the presidents OF the va
rious colleges for the purpose or COM
pleting the organization so that the
colleges can enter upon h playing
plan next fall. to arrange the games
for the season of 1902. The agricultural
college president thought 1t would be a
great stimulus in football matters and
that 1t would relieve the colleges of so
much expense by having to make
games on a schedule that did not per-
init of close connection with other col
leges, and then he believed that better
football could be produced under a
combination of colleges than where the
teams were conducted independently Of
each other.
