UTE Us PAID AT WASH
INGTON
TO THE DEATH OF A SOVEREIGN
Immediate Adjournment of the Ma
tiOnaI Lawmakers Another I'm
usual Mark of Respect to
VictOria's Memory.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-For days the
telegraph had prepared official Washing
ton for the news which was flashed over
the cable this afternoon of the death Of
the queen of England. So 1t happened
that all things that could be decently
done in anticipation of the sad event had
been disposed of and all was in readiness
for the formalities which are indis-
penSable to such events. While the cab:-
net was in session during the neon hour.
the president and his advisers were in
receipt from time to time of all the news
Which came from Osborne house so
when the end came later in the after
noon, 1t found appropriate messages of
coincidence framed, and even orders
ready for execution looking to the half
masting of the flags over the executive
departments, in carrying out of the usual
formalities. The half-masting of the ma
tonal ensign was an unusual tribute to
the memory of the deceased sovereign
1t is said this has been done rarely on
the occasion of the funeral of some great
worlds ruler, but never before in the
case of the death OF a monarch
The actual dispatch of the message
from the president to the new king of
England and from Secretary Hay to
Ambassador Choate was delayed only
long enough to receive the physicians
statement announcing the demise of the
queen and then it was sent forward at
once and copies were forwarded to the
press.
The British embassy also received the
press news as of full worth and the royal
standard, flying over the embassy build
ing, was perhaps the first in Washington
TO sink slowly half way down the tall
stan, giving notice to official Washing
ton OF the sad event. The rapidity with
which the news spread was remarkable
and within a short half hour the mem
oers of the diplomatic body here began
TO appear at the British embassy bearing
cards Of coincidence. Another unusual
mark of the high appreciation of the
worth of the deceased queen was the
action taken by the house Of representa-
t1ves in Immediately adjourning as a
mark of respect to her majesty.
Nothing now remains to be done bv
the United States government save to
extend through the slow process of the
mail the formal expressions Of ree,ret
which are prescribed by international
etiquette.
President McKin,ey's message of CON
dolcnce to the king is as follows:
oo Telegram sent from Washington, Tan
Y 1901: His Majesty, the King. Osborne

OLIVE BRANCH IN CHINA
REPLY TO CHINESE NOTE WILL BR
DELIVERED THURSDAY.

PEKIN, Jan. 22.-Today the foreign en-
voys discussed the request of the Chinese
plenipotentiaries, especially i'll the matter
of punishment, and exempted Isl Lien
and Tsi Wing as being less guilty than
the others. The reply to the Chinese
note will be delivered Thursday. 1t will
emphasize the point that the signing of
the agreement will be without value un-
less good faith is shown by acts, and then
it will be absolutely useless to promise
the withdrawal of the troops or conces-
sions upon the part of the allies, until
China has conclusively proved her good
intentions.
Russia has almost completed the turn
ing over of the railway to the Germans
Count Won Waldersee expects to leave

The Germans say they will keep the
railroad temporarily as a military neces-
sity. The British object to this course.

PARIS, Jan. 20. 10 p. na.-The news of
the death of Queen Victoria was known
in Paris at o'cleck this evening through
special editions of the evening papers,
which newsboys carried throughout the
city. Great sympa thy. was expressed on
all sides. As soon. as definite informa-
tion reached parliament the presidents of
the chambers announced that the next
session would be adjourned as a sign
Of mourning.
The news arrived too late for the after
noon journals to comment upon, but the
Temps discussing the outlook said: "The
sadness, alarm, anxieties, moral suffer
ings and pecuniary crises arising out Of
the Transvaal war have created a new
feeling in England. Queen Victoria has
heen like a mother of a. family, a living
link with the prosperity of the past, an
anchor of security for the British peo-
pie. With her disappearance will come
the unknown, the cropping into the dark
future

along the driveway came horseman,
who shouted THE Queen is Dead!' as
he dashed through the crowd Down the
hillside the watchers shouted the fateful
bulletin from one to another. Soon the
whole country knew there was a new
king in Great Britain. Everyone was
mourning the death of the queen, but
they did not hesitate to stop and drink
the health of the new king.

WICHITA, Kan, Jan. 22.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation and her colleagues in yesterdays s
saloon-smashing crusade were arrafgned
in the city court today and waived a pre-
liminary hearing. Judge Kirke fixed
their bond at $1,000 each, which was
promptly given and the women released.
Nation and her followers entered by the
windows they had smashed, was the
complainant, and the specific charge was
malicious destruction of property.
At 10 o'clock tonight. Mrs. Nation ter,
rorized the saloons again She made an
address in the Salvation Army barracks
In which she advocated the organization
of an army to wreck saloons. She pro-
Voked her hearers to a high pitch of ex-
c1tement and then marched through the
principal street, distance of nine
blocks, followed by 500 or 800 persons.
Some cheering and some jeering her.
Word that she was on the streets went
before her and every saloon light was
snuffed cut and every saloon door locked.
Mrs. Nation started a hymn every time
she passed a saloon and became demons
trative as she passed the ruins of the
saloons she wrecked yesterday. She lecog-
nized several saloon men on the side
walks, and as she did, she said: "Yoa
are safe tonight, Mr. Keeper of a mur-
der shop, but you will see me later"
Ry the time Mrs. Nation reached union
station 1000 persons were in the crowd
but no violence of any kind was attempt
ed. She purchased a ticket for Newton

OAKLAWN.
A MODEL ST. TAMMANY FARM

If any one wishes an illustration
of the difference between knowing
and not knowing how to farm they
should visit this place and see what
a metamorphosis has taken place in
the short space of eight months
under the direction of DR.. w.
Thompson and intelligently carried
out by his nephew Waverly
Thompson. This place is destined
to be profitable object lesson, not
only to this Parish but to all the
plny woods parishes Of this and
adjoining States. DR.. Thompson
has a practical as we'll as theoretl-
cal knowledge of farming, as any
one will see who comes to visit this
place. There are so acres IN Yer
glnia pea nuts that look as though
the yield would be 100 bushels to
the acre, and as they are now worth
81 per bushel and with two tons Of
the best hay per acre worth sl5
per ton, one can readily see that
this crop beats 6 or cent cotton.
But the crop that will interest a
visitor the most is the cassavd, a
tropical plant, but one that thrlves
we'll IN this State. The tubers, or
roots, much ike the sweet potato,
is the portion eaten. The plant is
propogated from the stalks. In
Florida where this plant is being
extensively cultivated as much as
l6 tons of tubers have been raised
on an acre, and there is a large
factory in that state converting the
roots into starch, and it is expected
that there will be several addition
al factories In readiness for the fall
crop. This plant furnishes the
principal food for millions of hu-
man beings III tropical countries,
and makes most delightful, as
we'll as nutricious food, and can be
prepared III many differen: ways.
1t makes the most fattenlng stock
food known and is said to be 33
per cent more fattening than corn.
A profitable crop of cassava can
be raised on land too poor
to produce corn, but like all other
crops, respond to good soil and
cultivation. If half the merits
claimed for this plant are true 1t Is
a most wonderful one, and is des.
tined to solve the problem Of stock
raising In the plny woods.
DR.. Thompson, believing that
the best is none too good, is the
owner of beautiful cattle, both
JERSEY and Holstein, sUnsel
Fritz a grand Young animal is al
the head of his Holstelns, and is
represented by many little Fritzes.
cit. Hobson,'' fine animal OBJ.
tanned in West Virginia, is at the
head of his flock, and his ter
month old lambs are larger than

much in so short time, what may
we expect in the future, backed By
ample money and mature judg
ment. 3. j. 3. &.

SAMPSON NOT TO BLAME
For MacIay's Book Apparently Hav-
Ing His Sanction, Says Col. Robert
Va Thorn OsOu.

NEW YORK, October Col Robert
W. Thompson. of this city, president of
the United States Naval Academy. makes
the statement to the Associated Press. in
connection with the Schey inquiry, that
the proofs of Maclay's history were sent
to Admiral Sampson with the request
that they should be read and corrected.
The admiral was i'll, but his secretary
pointed out that the Maclay history was
a standard one and used at the Naval
Academy as a text book. The admiral
therefore did correct certain part of
them, but as soon as he arrived at the
part which contained the statement that
SchIey was a coward and a caitff, he WAS
very much angered and said that the
statement wos one the author had no
right to make that ii was unjust and I'M
fair to speak of any naval officer in such
terms and declined to have anything to
do with the proofs. His recretary on his
own account. compared the book with the
records and made on the markins a num-
Der of corrections. AS these were in the
same handwriting as those made when
Admiral Sampson was giving his personal
attention to the corrections. Maciay was
justified in his statement that Sampson
corrected tina proofs. The order of the
secretary Of the navy forbidding naval
officers to make any statement. prevented
the above correction being officially made.
