Apples in Addison County.

Vermont is an apple growing state
in spots. Grand Isle county has had the
notion that it was the only spot on the
map, so far as this apple growing bust
ness is concerned; but now the official
returns show that Addison county grows
twice as many. This information comes
from the experiment station at Burling-
ton, in the shape of bulletin, "sent
free of charge to any address on appll-
cation" The bulletin says that the
Addison county apple crop was 0,GG0
barrels in 1900, and 1850 barrels this
year. These figures are for the market
crop. Considerable quantities of apples
were also used at home. At least there
is nothing to show that Addison county
farmers have been going without apple
pie and apple dumplings this year. The
average price for apples this year is
probably not far from 50 a barrel. Good
fruit is now selling much higher, of
course; but for the entire crop this is a
fair estimate. AT which figures Addison
county touches the neat figure of 1872, Gl0
for her apple crop in an off year. This
report goes on to say that. while Addison
county Is well on quantity, it is consid-
erably behind on quality. Methods of
cultivation, fertilizng. pruning and
spraying are poor, and as result much
of the fruit is poor. 1t is to be hoped
that Addison county will take the hint
and improve. 1t would be pleasant to
see her growing fifty or hundred thou
sand barrels of apples annually, and
thus adding fine round sum to the
income of her farmers.

ALABAMA is PROSPEROUS.
Commissioner Poole Attributes This
TO Mining and Manufacturing
and Better Price for Cotton.

Washington, March 23.-R. r. Poole,
Commissioner of Agriculture for Ala
bama, testified before the Industrial Com
mission to-day concerning agricultural
conditions in that State. He said the
State was prosperous and that during the
past five or six years large proportion
of the mortgages held on property there
had been lifted and farm lands had ad-
vanced in price until they are now held
at ante-bellum prices. This Improvement
In conditions Mr.. Poole attributed to va
rious causes, the principal of which are:
The great development of the mineral
wealth of the state; the increase in the
number of manufactures the advance in
the price of cotton and the addition of
a large number of cotton mills. AS the
result of these improvements more than
so per cent. of the white people and many
colored persons had obtained holdings
within the past fifteen years. Mr.. Poole
told of the conditions In the black belt
OF the state, saying there is no migratory
spirit there, and there are many negroes
who had heretofore been tenants, who
are now becoming owners of their own
homesteads. He also referred to the edu-
cational system of the state and spoke
in high terms of the industrial schools for
colored youth, saying they were accom-
plishing far better results than the ordi-
nary common schools.

THE PROJECT A DARING ONE.
AGUINALDO's PLAN FOR A RENDEz-

Gen. Funston Immediately Mapped

gun His Attempt Two Weeks Ago.
Accompanied by a Party of Brave
Officers and Picked Men He Went
to a Remote Part of the Country.
the Native Guards.
Manila. March 2S.-Gen. Funston is now
engaged in a daring project which prom
ises to be the greatest and most roman
tic achievement of his eventful career. In
January, from his hiding place in the
province of Isabella. Aguinaldo wrote let
ters matchmaking the sub-chiefs who
had taken the oath of allegiance to the
United States. Later, Aguinaldo ordered
certain insurgent forces in Southern Lu-
zon to join him at rendezvous in Isa-
bella province.
The rebel officer entrusted with these
orders secretly negotiated with the Amer
leans. On securing necessary informa tion
Gen. Funston planned Aguinaldos cap
ture, and, with Gen. MacArthur's author
ization, proceeded two weeks ago to make
the attempt Gen. Funston with Surgeon
Major Harris, Capt Newton of the Thlr-
ty-fourth Infantry; Lieut. Admire OF the
Twenty-second Infantry, Lieut. Mitchell
of the Fortieth Infantry; six veteran
scouts and a company of native scouts,
all picked men, embarked on the gtInboat
Vicksburg and were landed on a remote
beach above Baler.
1t was arranged that Aguinaldo's ennis
sary with the native scouts should pass
themselves off as insurgents troops who,
having captured Gen. Funston and 9TH
ers were taking them as prisoners to
Aguinlado. At the right time. when
brought before Agunaldo, Gen. Funston
was to give signal, when the tables
were to be turned and Aguinaldo was to
be seized. Six days march into the inte-
rior was contemplated. Treachery was
considered possible, but every precaution
was taken. The troops in New Viscaya
and New Eclja, and the gunboats Vlcks-
burg and Albany were to cooperate with
Gen. Funstons force. The Vicksburg is
expected here tomorrow.

WILLIAM II LAMENTS.
Tht Respect for the Authorities Has
Decreased Since Death of His
Grandfather.

Berlin. March 23.-In the lower house
of the Diet to-day President Won Kroe-
cher communicated the result of his au-
dience with Emperor William yesterday,
when the officers of the Reichstag and
Diet expressed the indignation experience
ed by the members of their respective
houses at the recent outrage at Bremen.
His Majesty said to President Won Kroe-
cher that he was panied by the outrage,
because it convinced him that since the
death of Emperor William L respect for
the authorities had decreased among the
people, particularly among the youth.
The Emperor thought that everybody
with distinction should share in the
blame for the present conditions. He con-
sidered that the press should be a potent
instrument in upholding the authorities,
and he was confident that the deputies
of all parties would do all in their power
to see the necessary steps taken to as
sure the full measure of respect for the
authorities.

HOT TALK FROM Mr.. BRYAN.
ing Nebraska Republicans and
VIII Rot Unless Bought.

Lincoln, Neb., March 23.-In connection
with a report that a number of fusion
lists were considering the advisability of
voting for Republicans for United States
senators, or absenting themselves so that
a less number might elect, William J.
Bryan was asked this evening whether
he thought any Democrat or Populist
would take the responsibility of giving
this aid to the Republicans. Mr.. Bryan
said:
Not unless he is bought. I shall not
assume without evidence that any of our
legislators are coTruptible. No fusionis;
can have any legitimate excuse for help
ing the Republicans out Of their difficult
ty. They have clear majority in both
branches of the Legislature, and if they
cannot agree upon a suitable man, let
them take the consequences. No fusion
list would dare to face his constituents af-
ter voting for nominee of a Republican
caucus and a fusionist who would absent
himself in order to help the Republicans,
simply adds cowardice to compatibility
The fusionists who have been honored
and trusted by the reform forces owe 1t
to their party to avoid any act of COM
mission or omission which would bring
disgrace upon themselves or their party.
/ would like to see a law enacted making
it a capital offense for a representative
to betray a constituency"
The ballot for senator's in joint con-
vention to-day was featureless and with
out result. Absentees cut down the vote
of D. E. Thompson, but his relative po-
sition remained unchanged.

somely bound that of Spain being in
red, with the royal arms in gold while
Americas was bound in dark blue, bear

protocol was then signed. 1t recited the
formalities of ratification of the treaty
signed at Washington, Nov Z, 1900, pro-
viding for the cession of any and all ISL
ands of the Philippine archipelago etc.
The treasury warrant for 800, 900 had been
prepared in advance and was handed to

change of felicitatiens over the close of
the transaction and Duke de ARGOS de-
parted with his 100000 warrant and the
ratified treaty.

SAVANNAH, GA. SUNDAY. MARCH "a 1901.
QUEER REPORT FROM LONDON.
English Spinners Should Get Some
body to Post Them as to the
Actual Cotton Conditions

London, March 23.-The Speaker to-day
says there are unmistakable signs of
more trouble between the masters and the
operatives in the cotton trade. A period
of trade activity has been followed by
reaction, accelerated by the high prices
of raw cotton and other materials, and
poor demand from India and an almost
complete stoppage of buying from China
The Lancashire spinners and weavers
have held out longer than their rivals in
the United States or continent, but the
rapid closing down of the mills shows
their turn is coming, and as the American
crop is likely to be insufficient even for
the reduced consumption, there is not
much prospect of low level quotations for
raw cotton to invigorate the demand for
yarn and cloth. If some agreement where
by wages may be adjusted according to
the state of trade is not soon concluded,
declining profits will force the masters to
reduce wages.
