a special from SkagWay, Alaska,
says: About O'Clock Wednesday af-
tcrnoon an unknown young man
walked into the Canadian Bank of
Commerce, a revolver in ono hand and
a dynamite bomb In the other and de-
manded $4,000 threatening to blow
all into eternity. Cashier Poolcy and
Teller Wallace were the only two men
In the bank. Wallace ducked to get
his gun and ran quickly to the back of
the room, calling for Pooley to do the
same.
mo, You DON'T" yelled the man,
dropping the bomb.
The clerks had just gotten out of
the window. The bank was wrecked.
The robbers head was smashed and
one arm was torn Off. People living
above the bank were blown into the
air. j. G.. Price, formerly prosecuting
attorney, who was entering the bank
at the time, was hurt but not serious
ly. The dynamiter died Without re-
gaining consciousness. The bank lost
about thousand dollars, chiefly In
gold dust, which was lying on the
counter.

not right to expect the ole 'oman"
to stay at homo and keep house

work becomes monotonous with young

Consequently If you want to keep the

Plans for the lanai.

Washington. Nov. l7.-Mr. Crom-
well. counsel for the Panama Canal
Company, called A. the State Depart.
ment to-day and lad conference
with the secretary regarding the next
steps to be taken in view of Attorney
General Knox's opinion on the sufii-
cheney of the canal title to carry out
the transfer of the property to the
United States government. The Spoon
er act requires treaty with Colombia
to be made before the Canal com.
pany's property is actually purchased
by the United States. but this treaty Is
now well advanced toward completion,
so that It is deemed proper to consider
other measures relating to the French
title.
The present STATUS Of the treaty ne.
gotiations is that there is now in the
nands Of Secretary Hay. who Is wait
ing to submit a. to the President. a
proposal from Colombia suggesting
notifications OF the treaty which the
United States originally proposeu.
This is being considered point by
point. and while 1t isenot doubted that
1t will not be accepted as whole. yet
lnere ia said to be fair ground for COM
promise between the two propositions.

VANDERBILT LINES TO
RAISE WAGES OF EMPLOYEES

more than right that the workers
should share in the profits of this in
creased business.
NO demands have been made upon
us for an increase In wages, nor, so
far as | know, has any such request
been considered by our employees in
any of the departments. The advance
which will be made is voluntary on the
part of the companies and will be
made on recommendation OF the Off,
GERS according to the ability and posi-
ton OF the employe."
Reports Of increases in the wages of
employees Of the Philadelphia & Read
ing and the Erie were current to-day
and Saturday. and a conference of the
officials of the Nickel Plate at Cleve-
land last week is said to presage the
advance Of wages OF all employees of
that road.
II is presumed that the Northwestern
and Big Four. both roads a part Of the
Vanderbilt system. Will follow suit in
the matter of raising the wages OF
their employees.

MITCHELL AND MAC VEAGH
HAVE CONTEST OF WITS

Mr.. Mitchell stoutly maintained that
the discipline in the organization is as
good as it possibly could be where 147.-
900 men are involved. He claimed that
the strikers were not entirely respons-
ible for the acts of lawlessness that
were committed. He regretted that
members of the union had in some in
stances violated the law, even after
they had been warned to refrain from
doing so, but made the excuse that in
times OF great excitement there was
more or less disorder
Mr.. Mitchell. after further questions,
said that any man who would use dyn-
amite for the purpose of destroying
property ought to be sent to the peni-
tentiary. no matter whether he was
union or non-union man, an operator
or anybody else. He said miner was
well versed in the use of dynamite
and knew when it could be exploded
without injury.
1T is a peculiar thing" said he.
that no one was hurt. no building
blown up. The miners. if they want
ed to blow up property. knew how to
do it,
The investigation is dragging too
it is likely the commission will prob
ably tomorrow ask both parties to
agree upon some arrangement for eX-
pediting the investigation. Mr.. Nit
chell has now been on the stand for
three days and has been examined by
the attorneys for only two companies
The second attorney, Mr.. McVeagh, is
not yet through with him. The law
yers for the Delaware. Lackawanna &
Western or the Philadelphia & Read
ing company will next take Mr.. Nit
chell in hand. unless the program is
changed.
The attorneys for the non-union men
presented their case to the commits
sion tonight. They have asked the
commission to take up the grievances
of the non-union men growing out OF
the strike, and as the non-unionists
are not a logical party to the arbitra-
ton scheme their attorneys had been
requested to give reasons why the COM
r.issioners should take up their case.
If it is decided TO hear them, it will
inject an entirely new feature into the
investigation.

Scranton, Pa. Nov. lin the pres
ence of as many persons as could be
jammed into the superior court room
to-day. Wayne MacVeagh. for the Erie
company, and John Mitchell. for the
miners. continued their brilliant battle
of cross-examination before the an
thracite coal commission. The two
men. the one in his thirties and the
other in his seventies, were followed
with intense interest by both COM
missioners and the crowd throughout
the day, and the contest will be re-
sumed in the morning.
The fourth demand of the union.
whicn calls for a yearly trade agree
ment and which means straight-out
recognition Of the union, was the bone
of contention, and although four hours
were taken up in discussion of the
question. not much material progress
was made Wayne MacVeagh. skilled
in the art of cross examination, at
tempted to show the utter irresponsi-
bility of the union and its unfitness to
make contracts which it could not live
up to. His principal argument was the
alleged boycott, and he often hard
pressed the miners president for an
answer. The latter, however. slowly
and deliberately gave some reply. but it
did not always satisfy his inquisitor.
Mr.. MacVeagh, in the presence of
the assembly. expressed his admiration
of the ability of the witness. and on
one occasion, when Mr.. Mitchell par
ried question regarding the boycott
ting OF a coal and iron policeman by a
hotel keeper, the distinguished attor-
ney threw up his hands. laughed, and
said
Mr.. Mitchell, you are the best wit
ness for yourself l ever confronted"
Mr.. MacVeagh weighed heavily on
what he said was a reign of terror in
the anthracite region during the period
of the strike. He read a list of four
teen names of men who were killed
during that time and also submitted in
evidence about seventy-five printed
pages of acts of alleged violence. boy
colt and intimidation, and with the
assistance of statistics and other docu-
ments maintained that it would be ut
terly impracticable for the coal COM
panies he represents to enter into ar
agreement with an organization that
could not control its own men.

MONEY SECURED TO BUILD
THE NEW MOFFAT LINE

The fact that the total issue Of $20.-
600. 900 worth OF bonds of the new road
has been disposed Of in such a short
time is evidence OF the confidence in
vestors have in Colorado enterprises.
While part of the money for the road
was subscribed in Colorado, most Of 1t

was opened last month that he had sold
$5,O0O,O0O worth of the bonds to Provi-
dence and New England capitalists.
who are interested with him in the
Denver Tramway Company. The net
value OF the bonds which have been
sold in the East during the last three

There has been no authoritative
statement to that effect, but it is un-
derstood that a large block of the
bonds has been underwritten by G. NJ.

New York, Nov 1T.-All precedents
In the railroad business have been

FARMING MATTERS.

tory and will feed 5000 head of beeves
on it during the winter. The first run
Of 300 head put in two weeks ago are
now about ready for full-feeding and
others will follow.

chased 800 head of mixed native cattle

Feeding Sugar Beet Pulp.

Sugar beet pulp is very watery
food. containing only about 200 pounds
of dry matter in one ton of pulp. En-
sliced pulp contains a little more dry
matter than when fresh and all eNpe-
rience teaches that after being ensf'
loed for one or two months, or longer.
1t makes much better cattle feed.
This is an additional reason for. as
far as possible. hauling the pulp in the
fall and storing II. At the Utah sta
ton we have as yet fed pulp to lambs
only. but there is considerable exper.
,imental data in regard to its use as
food for steers and several expert
:ments have been conducted with cows
with pulp as a part of the ration. Ex-
,,perience seems to indicate that the
pulp. like skim milk, has feeding
value greater than its dry matter
would seem to indicate when fed in
combination with other folders. To
get the largest returns from its use,
however. the pulp must be fed as a
supplement to a full ration of grain
and hay. giving the animals all the
pulp they will eat. This Is especially
true on ranch where all the crops
raised are fed to stock and the farmer
wishes to get the largest possible re-
9turns from feeding his hay and grain
When the folders and grains have to
be purchased and are expensive, II
may pay to feed larger proportion
of pulp, especially when close to a
factory. In feeding lambs we have
found that with ration of alfalfa
grain and all the pulp they would eat,
the lambs gained nearly two-fifths
more than those fed on grain and al
9alfa without the pulp. However,
Nth hpn If
to fifty pounds day the gains were
very much less and only a little in
excess of the grain and alfalfa ration.
The lambs fed on alfalfa and pulp
made very good gains. but the in
crease seemed to be in growth rather
than fattening. Considering the econ.
omy of growth. the lambs on the al
falfa, grain and full pulp ration pro
duced pound of gain for every five
and one-sixth pounds of dry matter in
the food. II required eight pounds of
dry matter for one pound of gain with
ration of alfalfa and pulp and eight
and four.hundredths pounds with a ra.
ton Of alfalfa and grain. In this test
not more than an average of three
and one-half pounds of pulp daily were
fed to each lamb and not more than
seven pounds day at any time in the
test. Other experiments in feeding
sheep and lambs are confirmatory of
the results we have obtained. Lambs
and wethers fed sugar beet pulp with
u ration OF hay and grain in every
case gained more rapidly than those
fed on dry feed only. Sugar beet pulp
has proven an excellent feed for fat.
tening steers. Last winter two steers
were weighed at the beginning of the
feeding and weighed again at the end
of two months. They gained each
nearly three pounds daily during that
time. They received a good ration of
alfalfa In addition to the pulp.-Field
and Farm.
