Seeding Fruit Trees.

Topeka, June 11.-Seedling trees
will be shipped this year by the car
load from points in Shawnee and JEFF
ferson counties to all parts of the
country. Nurserymen of these coun-
ties estimate that 90 per cent of the
seedlings used by nurseries in the
United States are produced here and
shipped from here. The raising of
seedlings is large industry. There
is small piece of territory in south
eastern Nebraska and another in
southwestern Iowa where seedlings
can be successfully grown, but these
two places produce only small per
cent of the seedlings used in the coun-
try. Nurserymen in all parts of the
country have tried to raise seedlings
but because of poor soil or bad climate
the industry has been abandoned
everywhere except in Kansas There
are between GOO and 700 acres of seed
ings grown in Shawnee county. The
seedlings are used for grating and
more of this is done and more young
trees are raised to marketable size in
Shawnee county thaa in any place

Junction City, Kaa, June 1o--The

of = contest between the ex-oficers and

the battle all along the line. a. W..

the place of department commander.
and Nation was chosen. With him, on
the same ticket, the following were
elected: Senior vice commander, Ma
Cor j. B. Remington, Osawatomie:
Junior vice commander, B. f. Pealer,
SaIina; Chsplain. G. l. Smith, Win
field; medical director, n. w. Hayes,
Abilene.
Smith, it is universally conceded,
was defeated on account of the desire
for a new deal, not because there was
anything against him personally.
Fort Scott was chosen for the en-
campment of 1902. and Hutchinson for
the reunion of 1901.
The resolutions adopted by the de-
partment were tame. The plank in
reference to pension commissioner
reads:
Resolved That we, the comrades of
the Kansas G. A. r., do most earnest
ly request the president to appoint as
commissioner of pensions for the en-
suing term one who will construe the
laws in the spirit in which they were
enacted and administer the laws ac-
cording to the order and rules of evil
dence."
The history used in the public schools
of Kansas was condemned in unmeas-
ured terms and committee of five was
authorized to urge the text book COM
mission to get a new one.

ton from Republic county to attend

SENATOR PLATTS LETTER.
Had a Well Defined Purpose to Sc
cure and Defend independence.
MEANING OF AMENDMENT.


Washington, June 1O.-During the
conference between Secretary Root
and the Cuban commission the secre-
tary wrote letter to Senator Plat of
Connecticut, who introduced the Plat
amendment. asking for his views
relative TO intervention as mentioned
in the third clause of the amendment.
Senator Platt's letter was furnished to
the committee confidentialiy by the
secretary OF war and was incorporated
into and made part of the acceptance
of the Platt amendment by the eonsti-
tutional convention. The letter, how
ever, appeared in Havana paper, and
is now made public by the war depart
ment Following is the text of the
letter:
II am in receipt of your letter of
this date, in which you say that the
members of the committee of the
Cuban constitutional convention fear
that the provisions relative to-inter-
vention made in the third clause OF
the amendment which has come to
bear my name, may have the effect of
preventing the independence of Cuba
and in reality establish protectorate
or suzerainty by the United States
and you request that 1 express my
views of the question raised
In reply L beg to state that the
amendment was carefully prepared
with the object of avoiding any posi-
BILE idea that by the acceptance thereof
the constitutional convention would
thereby establish a protectorate or
suzerainty. or in any manner whatso-
ever preclude the independence or
sovereignty of Cuba; and. speaking for
myself, it seems impossible that such
an Interpretation can be given to the
clause. I believe that the amendment
should be considered as whole and it
ought to be clear on reading it that its
well defined purpose is to secure and
safeguard Cuban independence, and
set forth at once clear idea o. the
friendly disposition of the United
States toward the Cuban people and
the express intention of their part tc
aid them, if necessary in the main
tenance of said independence. These
are my ideas and although. as you say
1 cannot speak for the entire congress
my belief is that such a purpose was
well understood by that body.
Very respectfully yours
(Signed) 20. b. PLATT."
