ne draining process.

a result of the draining process.
Peat is one of the greatest filters
and works more rapidly than any
other form of deposits 1t is es-
timated that one-tenth Of Ireland is
peat. and over one-fourth of the state
of Indiana was once a peat bog The
speaker called attention to the Dismal
Swamp in Florida, which was once a
vast lake, but is now a great area of
boys and swamp, with only a little
lake in one part. SO rank is the
growth of this peat WI that hot land
that the surface of the lake is IA feet
higher than the level of the surround
ing boys, showing that it has been
literally forced up into the air.
Lakes, swamps, boys and then garden
lands represent the stages in the
process of dying. Filling, draining
and encroachment Of vegetation rep
rescnts the process that kills the
lakes in warmer climcs while the
forces of the air are agencies in the
cooler portions of the country. Pro
fessor Gregory closed his lecture with
an interesting account of the way the
lakes have disappeared in the regions
in the western part of the United
States, where only desert land IS now
found.-Springield Republican.

Washington, June 2O.-The presi
dent last night gave a dinner to abou
q dozen of the leading republican ser
ators favorable to Cuban reciprocity
and discussed with them the ways and
means Of securing a reduction OF the
duty on Cuban products in order that
the pledges made to Cuba may be re-
deemed. Among those at dinner were
Senators Allison, Aldrich, Hale,
Spooner Lodge and Platt and Secreta-
ny Root.
The president is firm and steadfast
in his determination that in some
form or other and at the earliest op-
portunity there shall be secured to
Cuba a substantial reduction in the
tariff on her exports to the United
States. Future developments will de-
eide the matter. Methods and Oppor-
tunities were canyassed carefully. The
president will not content himself with
shelving the question now that he has
urged the matter on congress in a
special message, but will take such
further steps as may be calculated to
secure a reduction. He has urged
this whether there will be an extra
session or not, and if so, when it shall
be invoked is altogether problematical.
For the present, his efforts will be
continued to secure the cooperation in
legislation at this session on the part
of the 19 republican senators who the
other night opposed reciprocity with
Cuba. If it appears that the treaty
will accomplish results, one will be
negotiated and submitted to the senate
whenever the occasion is OppOrtune.
The president will not await author
ity from congress to frame such a
document. The treaty making power
is vested in him and the decision has
been reached to exercise his power
should that appear the best method of
obtaining the favored trade with Cuba.
May Adjourn July I.
The President and the senators
also considered the question of the
final adjournment of congress and
after its conclusion ore of the prom
iuent senators expressed an opinion
that congress would adjourn by the
first week in July. He hardly thought
he said, there would be any thing
done in a legislative way in the d.
reCtion of Cuban reciprocity aC this
session

Chicago, June 2O-The fifteenth
American derby which win run at
the Washington Park club track to-
morrow is regarded as the most UNI
certain since the worlds fair derby.
The race appears to be the east
against the west. The east furnishes
the three betting choices in HenO,
PentecOst and Arsenal and it is only
on the theory that the western colts
may be in better condition as result
of avoiding the trip across the coun-
try that the westerners figure so
good a chance for colt from this
section to win, This theory has back
of it the history Of other derbies in
which no eastern colt has ever been
successful with the exception of
Strathmoath In 1891. He was on the
ground weeks before the derby was
run. The railroads are announcing
lower rates TO see the derby than ever
before and chances are that there
will probably be 10000 present and
quite likely even larger crowd.

Gen. Bragg's response was full OF
feeling. He referred in a touching
manner to Fond du Lac as his home,
saying it had been his home for nearly
half century, and would continue to
be so. The toasts were all highly
eulogistic, the subjects dealing with
his life as soldier lawyer and states
