taken out now by one concern is limit
ed to 100, 900 cubic feet. He suggested
that thereihad been some public SEN

FEW CATTLE ARE LOST
The IStOck Through The Winter in
Good Condition.

Abilene, Kansas, Feb. THE stock
has come through the winter thus far
better than was anticipated. The
farmers generally sold off much of
their cattle early in the fall, for fear
of having insufficient feed. The re-
mainder iwere pastured on the rank
growth of wheat until the holidays.
Many farmers did not need to feed
any "roughness" until the first of the
year, Thus they were we'll supplied
with feed for the cold spell and have
carried the stock through with little
loss. The scarcity of stock will be
felt in the spring, when the ranches
are filed again with cattle to take the
place Of those sold in the fall. Stock
men look for high prices for stock
cattle throughout this part of the
state. Eastern Kansas and Missouri
buyers are already looking for sup
plies in this section to restock their
farms.

body Of Nora Fuller, a 16-year.old
girl, who disappeared from her home
January IL, was found lying naked on
bed in the upstairs back room of an

WILL TRY TEXAS OIL
For War Ships, the Secretary Would
Make Exhaustive Tests,

Washington, Feb. 6--The Secretary
of the Navy has asked Congress- to
appropriate $20, 900 for the purpose of
making a series of tests to establish
the merit of Texas oil as fuel for
American war ships. The following
explanation accompanies the request
of the Secretary:
1.-The bureau of steam engineering
of the Navy department desires to
carry on an extended series of tests to
find out the value of Texas and Cali
fornia oils for naval purposes. 1t
may be remarked that the chemical
composition of the Texas yield is diff
ferent from that of the Ohio and Penn
sylvania districts and therefore it may
be possible to burn the Texas pro
duct, although comparatively little
commercial success has been secured
in burning the Northern fuel oil. In
general, one pound of liquid fuel
should evaporate so per cent more
water than pound of excellent coal
and the small sum required for these
tests is certain to bring good return
in giving the navy department infor-
nation as to whether or not it will be
possible to utilize this combustible for
warship purposes. "

RUSSIA'S INTRIGUE
Trying to Put Through Two Treaties
With China.

Peking, Feb. 6-The British Ameri-
can and japanese ministers here have
renewed their opposition to the Man
churian arrangements between China
and Russia. 1t is probable that this
action will result in the further post
ponement of the consummation of this
treaty.
The powers opposing the Man
churian treaty are now beginning to
recognize the force of the representa-
tions of the Chinese plenipotentiaries
that China is making the best terms
possible for herself, and, incidentally,
for the equal rights of the other ma
tions in China, and are shifting their
protests to Russia as the responsible
party.
Paul Lessar, the Russian minister
here, is endeavoring to maintain the
transparent diplomatic fiction that the
Manchurian treaty and the Russo
Chinese bank agreement are not re-
lated. He has informed his colleagues
that the Russian government has no
official knowledge Of the negotiations
Of the Russo-Chinese bank. The
Russian agents are playing their parts
with the greatest regard for appear
ances. While NJ. Lessar is arranging
the treaty with China, the manager Of
the bank, M. Pocatillp, one of the most
able and trusted of theRussian agents,
in the east is negotiating the bank
agreement with Wang We.Shao.
In the light OF the statements of
Chinese officials, which we're repeated
yesterday, namely, that Russia in
sists upon the simultaneous signing of
the Manchurian treaty and the bank
agreement, the representations of M.
Lessar fail to carry weight. The ma
tive newspapers are filed with stories
that Russia is trying to gain her end
by offers of heavy bribes.

HEALTH OF THE ARMY
Last Month n Deaths and 2,437 Cases
of Sickness,

Washington, Feb. 6.-Surgeon Cen
eral Sternberg has received report
from Lieutenant Colonel b. f. Pope,
chief surgeon of the division of the
Philippines, in regard to the health of
that command during the month ended
December 10. 1t shows decrease in
the percentage of sickness, which Col
onel Pope says may be considered
especially favorable, in view of the
long continuance of the rainy season,
and the active military operations in
Samar and Batangas. The total mum
Der of deaths is seventy-seven, the
same number as the previous month.
Eleven soldiers died from wounds re-
ceived in action and sixteen were
drowned, There were 2,437 cases of
sickness. The strength of the com
mand being 39,O40, the percentage to
command was 6.2l. There was a de-
crease in the number of cases of ty-
phoid and malarial fever, and an in
crease in intestinal and gastric dis
eases. Bubonic plague has reappear-
ed in the city of Manila, and the board
of health is conducting an active cam
paign against rate, with view of
preventing a spread of the plague. So
far no such cases have appeared in the
army.
