designated by President Palma TO draw a
satisfactory reciprocity treaty. Venezuelan
conditions also were touched upon, especial
~ with reference to the plans OF some New
York hnancier to relieve Nenezuela's en-
barrassments by floating a loan. The gov
eminent would be glad to see this done IL IL
could be accomplished without involving the
United States in any liability for the re-
payment of any debt, or place the govern
ment under the obligation to coerce Nene-
zuela. II has already been made perfectly
clear TO the promoters of this plan that
the State Department would not bind itself
by any m in this matter, and this at
titude of the department was thoroughly
approved by the members of the Cabinet.
The Cabinet also considered the case of
Lieut.. Owens, of the navy, who recently
was tried by court-martial for financial ir-
regularities and absence from his ship with
out leave. The verdict of the court was
that he should be dismissed from the serv-
ice. An appeal was taken by Lieut.. Owens
TO the President. as it was urged that while
he was absent from his ship he was suffer-
ing from a temporary alteration OF mind.
1t was decided at the meeting to-day that
a court should be constituted to inquire into
his mental condition. That court will be ap-
pointed by Secretary Moody as soon as
possible.

What Secretary Wilson Is Doing for
the Farmers Benefit.

in recent years has there been greater sue
cess than in that Of giving scientific aid TO
the farming population, thereby showing
them how most efficiently TO help them

Importance. for the welfare of the farmer
is fundamentally necessary to the welfare
of the Republic as a whole. In addition TO
such work as quarantine against animal
and vegetable plaques and warning against
them when here introduced much efficient
help has been rendered to the farmer by
the introduction of new plants specially
fitted for cultivation under the peculiar
conditions existing in different portions
or the country. New cereals have been
established in the semi-arid West. For in
stance, the practicability of producing the
best types OF macaroni wheats in regions
OF an annual rainfall of only ten inches or
Whereabouts has been conclusively demon
strate0. Through the introduction of new
rices in Louisiana and Texas the produc-
tion of rice in this country has been made
TO about equal the home demand. In the
Southwest the possibility of regrassing
overstocked range lands has been demon
strated. in the North many new forage
crops have been introduced, while in the
East IL has been shown that some of our
choicest fruits can be stored and shipped
In such a way as to find a profitable market

ORDERED TRIED AGAIN
MAJOR GLENN TO BE COURT-MAR-
TAILED THE SECOND TIME.
Fifth Infantry Officer Charged with
Cruelty During the
i'm Samar Island.

MANILA, Dec. 2.-Orders have been re-
ceived from Washington directing that
Major Glenn, of the Fifth Infantry. shall
be put or trial a second time for alleged
cruelty committed during the Samar cam
paign. Major Glenn is charged with hav-
ing ordered the execution of several native
guides for misleading the American col
umns against the enemy's stronghold.
Major Glenn himself reported the incident,
which has been the subject of an extensive
inquiry for several months past. Major
General Chaffee ordered two Investigations
to be made by inspectors General Colmore
and Major Watts, who made inquiries.
General Chaffee forwarded their reports to
Secretary Root before he r~elinQuished his
command and without making any recon-
mendation. Secretary Root now orders
General Davis to formulate charges against
Major Glenn and convene a court-martial.
Major Glenn is now commanding d post
at B~ayambang, district of Pangasinan, Luz
zon, and he was to-day ordered to hold him
self In readiness to appear here for trial.
1t is said the trial will reopen the entire
question of the Samar campaign and con-
sumo some time. 1t is expected Major
Glenn will inform the court that he de-
sires Major General Cbaffee and Brigadier
General Jacob Smith to be called as wit
nesses, but it is possible that their deposit
tions will be taken instead.
Major Glenn was tried by court-martial
at Manila last May for administering the
water cure" to natives during the Samar
campaign and was found guilty and sem
fenced TO one months suspension from
duty and a fine of 500. President Roose-
Welt approved the findings of the court
Major Glenn returned to duty in September.

Experiments to Be Made.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The secretary
of agriculture to-day issued the following
statement:
1.-The Bureau of Soils, which has been
engaged for a number of years in investiga-
lions looking to the Improvement OF our
domestic tobaccos, has recognized for some
time certain desirable qualities in tobacco
grown in Texas, apparently occurring only
in occasional leaves. Soil survey parties
and tobacco parties have been investigat-
ing in eastern Texas and now are able 10
state confidently that they have located the
soil type and have found the character of
leaf possessing these desired qualities I'M
der conditions which indicate that ii can
be produced in large quantities of uniform
high grade. Only a mall amount of this
leaf has been grown this year which could
be fermented. Samples have been submit
ted TO leaf dealers and brokers in New
York and Philadelphia. They say il is a
Cuban leaf with the characteristic aroma
of the Cuban product. The department will
send two survey parties TO Texas the LIST
of January to prosecute the survey of this
soil and will enlarge the party of tobacco
experts so that fifteen or twenty acres of
tobacco shall be grown under government
supervision, thus producing a sufficient
quantity to be handled on a commercial
scale This will be submitted TO the
leaf dealers and manufacturers for opinion
of the commercial value of their crop be-
fore any encouragement is given to Texas
growers"

such maneuvers il is folly to expect that
in the event OF hostilities with any serious
foe even a small army corps could be ham
died to advantage. Both our officers and
enlisted men are such that We can take
hearty pride i'm them. No better material
can be found. But they must be thoroughly
trained. both as individuals and in the
mass. The craftsmanship of the men must
receive special attention. In the circum-
stances OF modern warfare the man must
act far more on his own individual respon-

of passing a bill providing for a general
staf and for the reorganization of the sup
ply departments on the lines Of the bill pro-
posed by the secretary of war last year.
When the young officers enter the army
from West Point they probably stand above
their cOmpeers in any other military serv-
Ice. Every effort should be made. by train

The measure providing for the reorgani-
cation of the militia system and for secur-
ing the highest efficiency in the National
Guard, which has already passed the
House. should receive prompt attention and
action. Ii is of great Importance that the
relation of the National Guard TO the mill
tia and volunteer forces of the United
States should be defined and that in place
OF our present obsolete laws a practical and
efficient system should be adopted.
Provision should be made To enable the
secretary of war to keep cavalry and artil'
lery horses. worn out in long performance
of duty. Such horses fetch but a triht

Central and eastern Europeans are COM
peting with the Italians for employment on
the great public works i'm this city. Some
contractors find these men of the East
quite as efficient as the Italians, and the
central and eastern Europeans find the
wages of this country especially stimulat-
ing.
The wages here are usually at least dou-
BILE and sometimes treble and quadruple
what these men earn at home. In conse-
quence of this they are anxious to keep
their jobs and unwilling TO lose time when
the loss of an idle day amounts 10 a third OF
a weeks wages in their native land.

MANILA, Dec. 1.-THE price of rice has

nave insured the supply of this food stuff

mission, when a rice famine was threat
ened at the beginning of November, ap-
propriated 5000, 600 Mexican and quietly
purchased upward of 10000 tons of rice in
India and on the Asiatic coast, to be sold
to the sufferers at a cash price which it
was thought would cover just the cost.
The plans of the commission were con-
cealed in order to prevent possible commits
sions on the part Of the operators with the
view to raising prices. The government
may lose money on it's purchases. but it is
satisfied in having provided for the sale of
rice to the people at a low figure.
