Washington March 2S.-The War De- partment has not had time as yet to consider whether Aguinaldo Is to be tried and what punishment is to be meted out to him. The first question asked Is wheth- CT Aguinaldo is to be tried as a military or civil offender If he Is to be regard ed as having committed reasonable acts or fomented an insurrection against the United States government, the trial would be of a civil character, for there are po- | litical offenses against the authority of the United States government, which are not offenses under the articles of war, to be tried by a military courtmartial or commission. It is hardly expected that the rigorous procedure for treason would be adopted. If it should be, section 5332 of the revised statutes provides that ev cry person guilty of treason shall suffer death or at the discretion of the court shall be imprisoned at hard labor for not less than five years and fined not less than $1OO0O."
 Another section provides for melting in- surrection short of actual treason, and specifies the punishment as follows:
 Every person who incites, sets on foot, assists or engages in any rebellion or in- suTrection against the authority of the United States shall be punished by im- prisonment for not more than ten years, or by a fine of not more than $10,000 or both"
 The foregoing, however are political offenses against the United States. It is presumed that Aguinaldo will be held for the present at least as a military pris- oner. As such 1t would be because he had offended against some of the articles of war.

New YORK Apr. 90, 1901.


The market is improving slightly. The
demand for all types of leaf was quite
active during the week and there was no
haggllng about prices either, but the de-
mand did not extend to large lots. Evi-
IDENTIFY manufacturers are limiting them
selves for the time being to buy just from
hand to mouth and to trust to the future
to help them out when they will be in
tight pinch for stock. The aggregate vol
ume of damestic leaf that moved off
during the week was about 1900 boxes,
comprising nearly every type.
AS for Sumatra, the importers seem to
be more occupied with the proceedings at
Amsterdam than in their market here.
Buying over there for our market seems
to proceed at pace as if the inscriptions
were to close this month and the Ameri-
can cigar industry needed seventy-five
instead of twenty five thousand bales.
Nearly nine thousand bales were secured
in the first two inscriptions alone, or
more than one third of our entire con-
sumption, and there are nine inscriptions
more to come before the vacations in
July and probably four or five more in
the fall. In the meantime the old stock
is selling slowly and mostly on account
of it's lower price.
The Havana market seems in fairly
active condition. Factory vegas have
the first call, but the better grades of
Remedies are also in demand in spite of
their high price. Sales for the week
about 1900 bales,-Journal,

Buyers are still riding from this and
other markets of the state, and are grad
ually thinning out the quantity of to-
bacco held by the farmers. The lower
and export grades are still receiving the
larger part of the attention, but an oc-
casional crop the better grades is being
picked up. Prices range all the way
from to Sc in the bundle. The Ameri-
can Tobacco Go. has several buyers in
the field.
In old goods only fair amount of
business is reported, mostly in small lots.
F. S. Baines sold 15Ocs '99.
The improved condition of the roads
have made it possible for the farmers to
deliver their tobacco and they are rush
ing it in. The asserting rooms are run
ming full forces.
The weather has been so cold that the
farmers have made little progress in
seed sowing.

LODI, WIS, April 10, 1901.

There is now quite season for tobac-
co men in this vicinity, the crops being
practically all delivered and nothing to
do. but wait till planting time again
However, the farmers are making active
preparations toward increasing their
acreage quite largely, and unless all signs
fail the crop this year will be the largest
ever grown in this section.
Last Friday was delivery day, and as
usual there was something of seance
between the buyers and growers. A few
of the latter refused to deliver their
crops under the conditions laid down by
the buyers, and even rendered the ad-
vance money and asked that their con-
tracts be returned 1t is needless to say
that the buyers absolutely refused to
take the advance money, neither would
they return the contracts. 1t is now
quite certain that few cases will be
aired in court in the near future, when
the rights of the buyer and grower, re-
lating to contracts, will probably be set
tied. And no doubt will be good thing
for both parties.-Enterprise.

LANCASTER New ERA. Apr. 16, 1901.

LANCASTER New ERA. Apr Is, 1901.
The home market has resumed it's old.
time dullness. The past week was again
one of inactivity with no prospect of I'M
mediate improvement. Still, the squirt
of the previous weeks seems to have
made good impression on the dealers,
and more hopeful feeling generally pre-
walls. The fact that SO many cigar fac
tories continue in operation seems to i'll
dicate steady demand on the old stock
OF goods on hand, and, as these cannot
last forever, there must be more demand
for raw material. The only transaction
we have heard of is purchase of 120
cases by the new firm of B. M. Mowery
& Go. For the corresponding week OF
last year the sales were 372 cases.
There has been more activity in the
market of 1900 goods. Buyers venture
out into the country more frequently
and all pick up a few crops. The Price
has fallen on an average fully two cents
per pound. We hear of a few very su
perior crops that have sold as high as
~ cents, but these are exceptional
prices, the ruling rate being five and six
cents. About one half the crop has been
lifted, or it may be slightly more, but it
now seems as if it would move off more
rapidly than heretofore, and without any
OF the friction between buyer and seller
which has been experienced up to this
time.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

From various sections we have reports
OF an increased planting expected. Many
new curing barns are to be built for the
care Of this increase. Perhaps this is
desirable, but it must be accompanied
with a large outlay of money. Some
conservative growers think it a serious
question as to tobacco continuing to be
the paying crop it has been the past two
or three years, yet we have hope for it's
continuance. If the cheese cloth COW
ering proves successful, and new rivals
in Florida, Georgia and Porto Rico, with
quite strong probability of our having
Cuba to contend with, if under all of
these conditions, growing the usual acre
age, as in the past, may be still an un-
solved problem.
Sales of Connecticut seed leaf are be-
ing made in various towns in Connect
ut,-East Windsor, South Windsor,
East Hartford and Glastonbury. These
towns have sold the crops of 200 acres or
more. Prices have ranged from II to Is
cents, averaging about Is cents. Conway:
"The tobacco trade is quiet. Farmers
are waiting for warm weather to SOW the

for curing are to be built this spring,

tiers high. Will hold about FIVE acres"
Whately: II understand the crop of John
M. Crafts, 10 acres, is sold at II cents

very desirable crop. And SO has w. w.
Sanderson fine crop, about II acres"

NOTE BOOK sKETOHES.

Seed beds that have been sown prior
to the present week need be looked after
closely else there is likly to be shortage
of plants later on. The hard freezes
that have occurred nightly the past week
followed by the cold drying winds is
quite certain to have killed the germs of
sprouted seed that has been sown and
necessitate the sowing of the beds.
Cold that is severe enough to freeze the
ground quite sodidly is very likely to pen
citrate the usual covering of plant beds.
The season so far is extremely backward
and no advantage so far has been ob-
tained by the early sowing of tobacco
seed. Experienced growers have learned
that to become absolutely safe it is best
to plant beds at different stages during
the spring and thus guard against such
unreasonable weather that has occurred
the greater part of April. Under favor
able conditions sprouted seed can be
sown after May 1st and still yield plants
in time for the usual transplanting OF
the crop. At the present writing it be-
gins to look as if much of the plant beds
will be delayed we'll towards that date
this season.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS, April 26, 1901.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, April 70, lSUl.
The buying of last seasons crop has
cached point where the remnants are
becoming closely gathered in. At best
but few thousand cases-so few that
they can be counted on one hand remain
in growers hands. At the rate the
scattering lots are being absorbed the
country districts will soon become so
bare that the crop is practically lifted
There is probably no more tobacco
in the farmers hands today than there
was year ago this date. The most i'm
portant transaction in new goods of the
week past is the sale of the Shannon &
Eckhart packing at Westby, some 1900
cases to w. S. Brill for the account of
Herbs, Wertheim & Schiller, the large
New York manufacturing firm. AS this
is the first large sale of new packing it
may have some bearing upon future
trading in these goods.
A few sales coming to notice are:
G. o. johnson, Ga at 9&2c asst.
Thos. Bierton, 8a at pit.
John Hermanson, 13a at 6&5c.
T. Upstdal, ga at 5&2c.
G. Stebbins, 1Oa at Gaze.
P. l.. Midland, Ga at 6, 3&1c.
E. Monson, Ga at 5&1c.
T, A. Torgerson, ga at 4&lc.
Hahn Bros, Ga at 411ac.
Business in old leaf is not particularly
brisk, though numerous small lots are
continually moving to manufacturers.
G. L. Culton reports the sale of 400cs of
'99 for the week.
Deliveries are still being made at the
warehouses in moderate way, and a
few packers have bundled stock on hand
sufficient for several weeks yet. Warmer
weather prevails this week and growers
are very generally putting out their
plant beds. The chances are that much
of the early sown sprouted seed will
have to be replanted owing to the heavy
freezes of last week.
The shipments out of storage reach a
total Of 80 carloads, 1850 cases, for the
week past from this station to all points.
Since last report 800cs of cigar leaf were
exported from New York.

LOST MASTERPIECES.
Other Famous Paintings BESIDES the
GHinsbOrough work Have
Been stolen.

Gainsborough's Duchess of Devon
shire, which will probably find its last
resting place in the Metropolitan mu-
scum of art, in this city, is not the only
great painting which has been stolen,
says the New York Herald. A por-
trait of the countess of Derby disap-
peared shortly after it was painted by
Sir Joshua Reynolds. Rewards for it's
return were vainly offered. The final
conclusion was that the then earl of
Derby, who had quarreled with his
wife at the time the picture was paint
ed, had destroyed it.
The celebrated "Field of the Cloth of
Gold" was never stolen outright, but
an important part of it was extracted.
The theft was discovered when Crom-
well opened negotiations with for
eign dealer for the sale of some of tho
pictures of Charles /. On this partic-
ular picture being examined, one of
the principal faces, that of Henry
WILL, was missed. 1t had been deN-
terously cut out, and upon the res
toration the thief, a nobleman of note,
handed it back to Charles III. in per-
feet state of preservation. His object
had been to prevent the picture going
out of the country.
Lord Crewe has a picture which was
lost and recovered in remarkable
manner. An ancestor of his had pic
ture painted of his son and daughter
in which the son posed as Cupid. Many
years afterward the father and son
quarreled, and the younger man, out
of revenge, caused the Cupid to be cut
out of the canvas. The piece knocked
about unheard of for over 100 years.
A dealer who had seen an engraving Of
the original happened to get hold of it
some few years ago, and he at once
communicated with Lord Crewe.

NEW ROCK ISLAND PLANS
Will Build a Line to Kansas City from
Platte City, Mo.

Kansas City, May 31.-The Chicago
Rock Island & Pacific railway is pre-
pairing to make extensive improve
ments which will bring it into Kansas
City and Topeka, over its own rails
and which will make it one ofthe short
lines between Chicago and Kansas
City. The Rock Island road also in
tends to terminate its contract for the
use of the Hannibal bridge and will
enter Kansas City from the north
either by spanning the Missouri with
a new bridge, or by la contract to use
the Milwaukee bridge or the Bates
bridge If the latter, is completed
These changes have been approved
and decided upon by the Rock Island
management and will be made soon
The business of the Rock Island rail-
road in Kansas City has been more
than quadrupled in the last few years
and the road has expended nearly /
million of dollars forterminal proper
ty in the West bottoms, which it. pro-
poses to reach over its own rails.
