head of his party, and first in the hearts
of his colleagues in the Legislature, it
can no longer be denied that Mr.. White
is the heavy weight Of the Home Rulers
in the Senate and that President Ka-
lauokalani is now and will continue to
play second fiddle. Mr.. White is a good
speaker; is aggressive, and gives the
big trio of the Republicans all they
wish to handle. The next principals in
the Home Rule ranks are DR.. Russell
and David Kanuha. AS the former is
president, however, his strength on the
floor is not felt. Kanuha has made
friends with the minority by his spirit
of absolute fairness. Though not a
giant in debate, he has the courage Of
his convictions, and his spirit of fair
play is rapidly winning him friends
and an enviable position in the esteem
of auditors. John Brown, the lone pro-
nounCed Democrat in the Senate is a
handsome man but is not a speaker and
thus far has appeared as merely a
wheel in the Independent clockwork
Kaiue is in the same circle, while the
remaining four senators are merely
signed, sealed and delivered" pieces Of
Home Rule machinery.
In the Senate, then, is coming the
merry incidents of this Legislature 1t
will be conflict between the strongest
mental forces of the two leading parties
the minority with the most experience,
however, and the majority with the
largest number of cold, convincing
votes.

FOR CHINESE EXCLUSION.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
prosnects for the passage of a bill ex-
tending the life Of the Chinese EXclu-
sion Act frightened visibly today. The
Jenkins Chinese bill was recently pass
ed by the House, placing additional res
trctions upon Chinese attempting to
enter the country. is now before the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
Senator Lodge OF that committee and
Representative Kahn, who has intro
duced a bill in the House extending the
Act twenty years, had n lengthy con-
ference TODAY on the advisability Of
amending the Jenkins bill so as to ex-
tend the Exclusion law. Mr.. Kahn
readily accepted the suggestion. the
only drawback being that the DISPOSE
ton of the Senate committee seems to-
be for a bill making the extensions run
for ten years instead of twenty as pro-
Vided in Mr. Kahn'S bill.

The Heroic Beers.

Two years have rolled along in their
course, and what thing has come of
it, The bones of forty thousand Eng
lishmen. one for every Boer in the
field, lie scattered along the paths
where the herdsmen drove their cattle.
Twenty thousand Englishmen have
been captured. A billion of dollars has
been spent in vain. The output of the
coveted rand has fallen from seventy
millions to seven millions year. and
the imposing forms of Cecil Rhodes
and Dr.. Jameson have sunk into
darkness. The unconquered and un-
conquerable Beers still ride over the
desolate and wasted veldts of the
Transvaal and unfortunate occur
rences'' are still reported in the
coffee houses of London from the very
heart of Cape Colony. Who is now
so poor as to do England reverence?
Nothing can ever give gloss to at
tempted wrong but success. The power
of the empire has been halted. The
power of Windsor castle has been
shaken. The German works his rude
will in China, Russia pushes sternly
toward the Pacific, France threatens
in Barbary with impunity, America
will open her canal between the
oceans, and which of them stops to
heed whether it serves the purpose OF
England or not?-Judge Penny Pack

KANSAS pARGHED BY heat.
Corn Crop on Verge of Destruc-
ton and Grass Parched Up.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 12:-No
drought stricken district, incl1d1lng
all of Kansas, western Missouri, Okla
homa and Indian Territory. Over
much of this region this was the worst
day of the long hot spell, the tempera-
ture being more than 100 degrees, and
no breeze stirring. Corn, oats. hay and
potatoes are so badly injured that even
with rain, the yield will be short, and
as the weather bureau gives no nope
of relief, the outlook is diseouraging.
At some places in Kansas there has
been no rainfall whatever for nearly
three months. The present is the
worst drought since 1850, when New
England sent food to the settlers OF
Kansas. However, Kansas farmers
are harvesting one of the largest crops
of wheat, if not the largest, in the
history of the state. A great many
counties send word that, with rain,
corn will be half crop: without rain
soon, no yield. A few say there is yet
hope for fair harvest.
Hay sold this morning for $40 a ton
one cent pound-the highest price
ever reached in this market. This is
almost as much, pound for pound, as
wheat is worth. Receipts were very
small.
In numerous places there is no pas
turage and owners Of cattle are ship
ping hay to their farms. Alfalfa has
yielded we'll everywhere, and will be
the salvation of many farmers.
During the past five days ITO, 600
hogs have been received at the stock
yards. breaking all records, these
heavy shipments are due to the scar
city OF corn. In Audrian county,

Hottest Weather Ever Known.
Crops Suffering in Several States:

Where Only Local Rains Have

Memphis, Tenn, July 12.-This was
the warmest day OF the year IN the
central southern states. Many places
in western Tennessee, Arkansas, nortn
Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and
Texas report all heat records broken
during the afternoon. In Memphis
the official report was lO2 degrees at
5o'clock, the highest temperature ever

Pine Bluff, Ark, reports the warm
est day on record with one fatality.
In Mississippi the heat was intense.
At Jackson, Vicksburg and Natchez
ali records were broken. Crops, espe--
ccially corn, all through north and
east Mississippi are drying up. Louis
lana is also in the throes Of the hot
wave. Shreveport reports the hottest
day in its history, the government
thermometer registered SO in the after
noon. The intense heat has been
broken somewhat in few counties IN
west Texas.
San Angelo, Midland and Big
Springs all IN the extreme western
part Of the state, report rainfall vary
Inc from / to 3 incehs. These points
are in a section devoted exclusively to
stock raising. The agricultural part
of north and northwest Texas is still
unreheved from the drought. In some
places rain has not fallen in two
months.
At Austin. good rains fell Wednes-
day and Thursday, and broke the long

Gen. Thomas L. Rosser sounds in his
communication to the New York
Herald of July !. The general is sup
posed to be discussing the future
SOUTH but he really devotes himself
to a consideration Of its present as
he sees it with gloomy and bill
ious eye. He finds the southern states
rapidly lapsing into desolation. The
growth of the northern states he
says, is like that of full-hooded
river-in its current float the material
and the nourishment for a growing
empire-while the south is in an
eddy, and but little goes her way"
And then, speaking of the population,
he adds: The young white boys,
after struggling hard to acquire an
education, either seek a profession,
in which they exc out bare living,
or if unwilling to draw weary life
along the slow trail of poverty, they
go west or north, where the hum of
busy and progressive enterprise offers
field in which intelligence and ener-
gy are at a high premium, and where
push is invariably rewarded by sue
cess. While this emigration of young
men depopulates the south, impoverish
es the stamina of industry, and in
duces decay and thriftlessness, which
breed despair in the south. the north
and west thus receive most valuable
recruits. -

Tariff War With Russia.

Washington, July 9.-Another I'M
portant change has occurred between
the Russian government and the Uni
ted States relative to the tariff. The
Russian minister of finance, NJ. De,
Witte, has proposed that Russia Will
vacate all the additional duties levied
on American goods since the imposl-
tion of the sugar differential if the
United States will vacate its action on
the sugar differential. To this Secre-
tarv Gage has replied that the offer
of the Russian government cannot be
accepted as the question Of the sugar
differential is now in the hands OF the
court. thus precluding action by the
executive branch.
The proposition of the Russian min
lister of finance was the result OF Sec
retarv Hav's note of about two weeks
aoo. In that note Mr.. Hay pointed
ont that the action taken as to petro-
leum was not new, nor was 1t meant
to have any connection with the pre-
vions action of the government on su-
gar. This appears to have reconclled
Russian officials in their view that the
petroleum order was only another step
in the policy previously taken respect
ing sugar.
81 DeWitt's response is not long,
but it is quite to the point. 1t makes
no further issue as to the petroleum
order. The chief attention is given to
sugar and the specific offer is made
to vacate immediatlv the increased
duties which Russia has levied, II the
United States Will vacate its action on
sugar. This would amount to reestap,
fishing the status quo which existed
before the United States took ITS
initial action relative to Russia.

ORCHARD WORK.

EDITORS PROGRESSIVE FARMER =
When is the best time to pillow ap-
pie, peach, pecan, plum and cherry
orchards for fruit and for growth of
wood? How often should they be
plowed, and should they be plowed
in winter or spring? B. j. A.
Nash Co., N. c..
answered by Corresponding Editor Emery
We T not greatly impressed with
blowing an orchard for fruit. To
secure rapid growth of wood pillow in
spring, sow COW peas, and pillow in.
This for young trees which you wish
to push, but there should be an
abundance of potash and phosphoric
acid in the plan to trees and
the cow pea can be left out Of all but
orchards IN poor land. Another way
would be to pillow in late spring and
harrow or gang pillow about as often
as weeds get started on it until Au-
gust, then SOW crimson clover. Would
prefer to have the clover grazed or
cut for hay to repeat the operation
and when fruit is expected, to study
the special orchard as to whether
this cultivation be continued each
year, in alternate years, or at wider
intervals. An orchard which is
usually too dry, might be plOwed
deeply and subsOiled in early winter
so it may catch more water. Then
the summer cultivation should be
often to prevent loss of water and
manuring be done by a quick growth
of Gov pea vines and chemicals. Or
the ~subsOiling might precede sowing
crimson clover and after it was re
moved the orchard might be har-
rOwed as often as rains or showers
and evaporation causes Il little crust
to form on the surface. Keeping
thus Il mulch of loose soil on the sur
face will be of great value for growth
of both wood and fruit.
1t seems to have become the settled
policy of orchardistS to pillow and
work the land considerably whilst
growing the trees. This should not
be accompanied by too much crop
ping. Land cannot be expected to
yield two crops at once, and if trees
are to grow their best other crops
should be held back. Note in the
recent report of the State Horticul
tural Society's meeting that the loss
of years of work, and eventually the
whole cherry orchard was ascribed
to too much cultivation.
Better cultivate too little than toe
often after the trees are grown, espe,
cially if you feel that you must take
off Il crop to pay for cultivation
Such D crop should be COW pea vines.
crimson clover or other leguminOus
crop grazed or made into hay rather
than u small grain or hOed crop.
