Electric Trains a Success.

New York, Nov. H. Electric trac-
tion trains on the military railway, be-
tween Berlin and Zossen, have now
ended for the season, says a London
dispatch to the Tribune. The result Of
the trials has been to prove beyond
doubt that express trains can easily be
run by electric power at a speed of 70
miles an hour on an ordinary perms-
nent way. A higher rate of speed re-
quired heavier and frmer permanent
way, and this is to be prepared in time
for the commencement of the trials
in the spring.

CANAL TREATY is ASSURED.
coIombia's Stand VIII Cause No Trouble
for United States.

Washington, Nov, 12. 2.-Secretary
Hay today had conf ence with Sem
ator Cullom, chairman of the senate
committee on foreign relations, and
also with Senator Morgan, the senior
member OF the minority Of the senate
committee on canal matters. The sec
retary wa able to show that substan-
tial progress is making towards the
completion Of a treaty with the Colom-
bian government, conveying the neces-
sary rights for the construction of a
canal across the Isthmus of Panama.
In fact, so well have the negotiations
progressed lately between Secretary
Hay and Senior Concha, the Colombian
minister, that it is now expected that
by the end OF the present week all of
the phases Of the proposition will have
been disclosed, and little will remain
to be done to conclude the convention.
1t can be stated that the attitude OF
the Colombian negotiations presents no
insurmountable obstacles, and that a
treaty can be framed acceptable to both
sides in strict conformity with the
spirit of the Spooner act.

TO SUPPRESS LADRoNIsM.
Military Forces VIII Probably Help Con-
stabuIary in cavite.


Manila, Nov. H. The government
is adopting vigorous measures to sup
press ladronism in the provinces of
Cavite, Rizal and Bulacan. A zone
embracing these provinces and sur
rounding Manila is the scene OF con-
slant petty and sometimes serious dis
order. Several armed bands, some of
them numbering 200 or 800 men, are
operating in the described districts,
and have committed various depreda-
tions. They find safe refuge in the
mountains. The plan OF the govern
ment contemplates securing the assist
ance OF the military, which has been
inactive since the end of the insurrec-
tion. The extent Of the army's particle
patton in the work Of suppression de-
pends upon developments. 1t is prob
able that the military authorities will
request the garrisons to protect the
more important towns, while the con-
stabulary conduct the field operations.
It is thought that martial law, in a
modified form, will be declared and
the privilege Of the writ of habeas cor
pus suspended in Cavite province,
which has been the home OF the Ia
drones for ages.
Military control of Cavite province
is not contemplated. 1t is intended
that the military and civil authorities
shall work in conjunction. The belief
is held that advantage has been taken
in some parts OF the island Of the COM
plete inactivity of the soldiers, and it
is thought that the use of the army by
the civil authorities will have bene-
fetal effect.
The vigorous campaign against the
ladrones conducted by volunteers in
Bulacan province has resulted in driv-
ing many refugee bandits into Rizal,
where the campaign is now opening.
General Davis is cooperating with
Governor Taft. He has strengthened
the garrisons in Rial, and is support
ing and assisting the native constabu-
larry, which is now effective. The opera
tions in Cavite province will COM
mence shortly.

swITcHMEN WON'T STAND in.
They VIII Not Strike, and Trainmen Are
To Be Given No Assistance.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-According to a
statement made today by Grand Master
HawIey, of the Switchmen's union of
North America, there will be no strike
Of switchmen in Chicago. Officials Of
the Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen,
however, scout the idea that Mr., Haw-
ley's organization figures in the situa-
tion, and say the switchmen who are
members of their organization are
strong enough to enforce demands
made by them upon the railroad COM
panies entering Chicago. 1t was
learned today that the Chicago Great
Western, the Chicago Terminal Trans
fer and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
railroads had entered into agreements
with the switchmen's union by which
that organization accepts the increase
of 2k cents an hour for switchmen aid
3R cents an hour for foremen, which
has been offered by the railroad mana
gers. 1t was also learned that the Illi-
nois Central and Rock Island compau-
les we're negotiating with the switch
mems union.
Grand master Hawley, of the switch
mems union, declared his organization
had membership of 1900 in Chicago,
and asserted that the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen could not call a
strike of switchmen if they so desired.
He said his organization had secured an
increase of 10 per cent in the North
west, and that the scale would be re-
cognized by switchmen throughout the
country. He further declared that the
demands made by the brotherhood had
been prompted by jealousy and could
not be recognized.

RAILROADS AND MEN AGREE.
Increase of About IL Per Cent for Labor
at Switching Terminals.

at Switching Terminals.
Chicago, Nov. 13. = The wage con-
troversy between the railroads and the
Brotherhood OF Railroad Trainmen,
which, for a time, threatened to tie up
all the principal switching terminals
in Chicago, was amicably adjusted TO-
night at a conference between the rail-
road managers and the officials of the
brotherhood. The settlement was
reached on the basis of compromise.
Seventeen OF the railroads signed the
new agreement, and the Santa Fe, the
other road involved, will sign tomorrow
morning. The men will receive an in
crease of about 12 per cent. At to-
nights meeting the railroads submitted
a proposition offering an increase of 8
cents an hour to helpers and cents to
foremen. The proposition was ac-
cepted by the men. The rates agreed
upon are as follows:
Day foremen, 81 cents per hour /;
night foremen. 33 cents per hour; day
helpers, 2S cents per hour; night help
ers 80 cents per hour. These rates are
one-half per cent in excess of the St.
Paul-Minneapolis rate for each class.
The effect of the new scale will be
jar-reaching. According to the officers
of the Brotherhood OF Trainmen, the
rate will go into effect at all large CEN
ters west of Chicago, where committees
are now in session awaiting the out
come of the Chicago trouble.
The Chicago scale goes into effect
November 15, and through the signed
agreements with the railroad managers
it cannot be modified without 80 days
notice.

IRRIGATION FOR OREGON.
VIII Get Share Of About 5000, 900 from
National Irrigation Fund.


Washington, Nov. 11.--0ut of an ag-
gregate reclamation fund in the treasury
of approximately s9,OO0,OO0, the state
OF Oregon is entitled to credit for about
one tenth, or something in the neigh
borhood Of 5000, 900. The general land
Office and the treasury are together
working to compute the net returns
from public lands in the several states
and from the United States for the past
two fiscal years, in order to ascertain
the exact size OF the reclamation fund
created by the irrigation act Of the last
session of congress. This law, it will
be recalled, provides that the net funds
derived from the sale and disposal OF
public lands shall constitute a reclama-
tion fund, for use on government works
in the several states. While the whole
amount comprises an aggi egate sum, to
be distributed at the direction of the
secretary of the interior, it is provided
at the end of 10 years each state shall
receive benefits in proportion to its
contributions to the fund. 1t was also
wisely provided that the fund should
include receipts for the past fiscal year.
1t is matter of note that Oregon has
the third largest returns of any state in
the Union, for the past two years.
The net returns to the credit of the
state stand at about 5000, 900 for the
two years.
The only states which precede Oregon
are North Dakota, whose gross returns
amount to 81, 1921, ,S1I, and Oklahoma,
with 81 ,094 ,452 for the two years.
Washington is the fourth state with
1891 500, and Idaho seventh, With
$575, 900. The approximate net re-
turns for Idaho will be about $3.50, 900
for the two years.

New York, Nov. 13. = Roland B.
Molineux was set at liberty today, after
spending nearly four years in prison
and being once condemned to death
and twice placed on trial for his life
for the murder of Mrs. Katherine
Adams. But IS minutes sufficed for
the jury to reach verdict of acquittal.
Molineux, who was brought into
court as soon as it was known that the
jury had agreed, was apparently as un-
concerned as he had been throughout
the trial, and gave no evidence OF emo
tion when the words that established
his innocence were pronounced. His
aged father, General Molineux, was
deeply affected and could with diff
Guilty respond to the greetings of
friends who pressed forward to offer
their congratulations.

Washington. Nov. Is. - Secretary
Hitchcock has received from Governor
Dole, of Hawaii, statement denying
reports Of ill-treatment of several
thousand Porto Ricans. The lsborers
went to Hawaii at the solicitation OF
the Sugar Planters association, and
the complaint was made by Pedro ].
Agostini, faher of one Of the workmen.
The governor says, after an investiga-

from homesickness, influenced by
imaginative persons, and will subside
with time, and that the condition Of
the industrious Porto Ricans is satis-

EARNING IN JAPAN.
Crudo Implements Still Used in Culti-
vatin. the Soil.

Crude I'M lie ments Still Used in Guilt.
vatin. the Soil.
Twenty-seven hundred years before
Christ the Emperor Of China intro
duceI a system of agriculture into his
country. The soil had always been
cultivated in an inferior way,
but this enterprising ruler saw
the need of other methods, and
made every effort 70 enforce their
general adoption. In order to
impress the matter upon the peas
ants he plowed a small plot OF land
and sowed it with the five most i'm
portant cereals. For this he was de-
fed after his death and made god OF
the crops. For more than 1000 years
the rulers of the empire have followed
his example in the matter OF plowing
and sowing.
When these new modes OF cultiva-
ton had been we'll established, and
every hillside and valley were smiling
ready for harvest, the islands of Japan
became known to China and they sent
their missionary priest over to this
country. They took with them the
entire civilization Of China-their arts,
sciences, philosophy, industries, and
among the later their well-tested
methods of enriching the soil.
The Japanese farmer had many dis
advantages that made the process OF
better cultivation very difficult. The
entire country is of volcanic forma-
ton, and only one-twelfth Of the lani
is sufficiently fiat to admit Of farming.
Added to this the soil itself is natu-
rally of very poor quality and re-
quires special treatment both by ways
of enriching and irrigation. The great
est advantage Of the farmer is the
fact that he has divided the land into
very small sections. Perhaps It
would be more accurate to say that
extreme poverty makes 1t Impossible
for a farmer to possess more than
good-sizei potato patch. At any rate,
the smallness of the farms has It's
advantages, and the toll OF the farmer
of today is not to be mentioned when
compared with that Of his ancestors,
who took the virgin soil in all its pow
erty and lavished no end OF energy
and strength to bring it up to it's pres
ent producing capacity. Yes. the
