BOUNTY-AIDED SUGAR.
Effect Of the Recent Agreement of
Foreign Powers.

Respecting Brussels dispatch published
in London as to the attitude Of the United
States government toward the sugar con-
vention Just agreed upon In the Belgium
capital by the representatives Of the beet
sugar powers, it is stated here that this
convention requires no action whatever on
the part OF the United States. As this
country produces no bounty>aided sugar, it
was not directly concerned in the proceed
ings at Brussels. and was unrepresented
there. But indirectly 1t is realized that the
results Of the conference might be Of great
Importance to the United States, affecting
the solution OF the Cuban customs problem,
and influencing the treasury receipts
through the abolition Of the present coun-
tervailing duties.
Minister Townsend was directed By the
State Department to make some inquiries
as to what was being done at Brussels
touching sugar. and 1t Is assumed that this
instruction was the basis for the presump-
ton on the part Of the English newspapers
that the United States government was con-
templating an adherence to the convention.

THE PANAMA CANAL
SENATE COMMITTEE TALKS OVER
REPORT ON TITLE.
Majority Believes It Cannot Give
Satisfactory One-Wiu Be
Minority Report.

The Senate committee on mteroceanic
canals met this morning and talked over
its report on the subject of the title that
can be conveyed by the new Panama Ca
nal Company to the canal property on the
isthmus. The report of the subcommittee
on title was placed before the committee,
and, as previously stated In The star, de-
clares that satisfactory titleto that proper
ty cannot be conveyed to the United States
by the Panama company. The report is a
long one and recites much testimony that
has been given before the committee IL
states that the rights of stockholders CT
the old company would be injured by such
a transfer. and shows how the new COM
pany was formed and it's stock subscribed
to by men who did so in order to be re-
lieved from suits pending In the French
courts against them 1t shows that the
concession given to the company by CO.
lombia provides that the canal property
shall not be transferred to any govern
ment without it's concurrence this ccnceS-
sion extending until the year 1910. 1t also
declares chat the United States W ould re-
Quire many additional guarantees from Co
lombia not contained in its concession to
the canal company.
Will Be Two Reports.
TINS report will form the basis Of the re-
port of the majority of the committee, and
1t will be signed by Senators Morgan, cnair-
man. Hawley Of Connecticut, Platt of New
York Mitchell of Oregon, Harris OF Kan
sas. Turner Of Washington and Foster OF
Louisiana. The four senators who will join
in minority report are kittredge, Millard.
Hanna and Pritchard 1t was agreed that
the majority report when 1t is completed
Will be turned over to- the minority, SO that
its report may be made in reference TO
it's statements. Senator kittredge, 1t is
understood will prepare this report, and
will take exception to the views of the ma
jority, and reasons will be given why 1t is
believed a Satisfa ctory title can be given
by the Panama company. The committee
did not formally act on the majority re-
port hut It is thought the two reports will
be ready to be voted on at the next regular
meeting day Of the committee, which will
be on next Monday.
Question of Building Canal.
This action relates solely to the title or
the Panama canal. The question as to
whether the Panama or the Nicaragua
canal should be built has not yet been dis
cussed by the committee. and that will
come up after the question of title has
been disposed of When it does come up
it is believed the committee will be divided
exactly as It is on the question of title,
giving a ma jorty of seven for the Nicara-
qua and a minority Of four for the Panama
canal.

NO DEMAND UPON TURKEY.
Minister Leishman's Action in Con
nection With Miss Stones Case.

1t is again specifically stated here that no
demand has been made upon Turkey in con-
nection with Miss Stones case The action
taken by Minister Leshman. reported from
Consta ntinople. was simply to conserve any
rights which might be developed hereafter
and his note to the Turkish government
amounted to nothing more than state
ment that the Emitted States government in
tended to make thorough investigation of
the incidents connected with the kidnapping,
and at the conclusion of that investigation
would look for redress to the party upon
whom responsibility was fixed. 1t may be
added tat the whole trend of evidence so
far had is very strongly against .ne Bull
garians and not against the Turks.

A ReDutIiatiOn,

The Union and Herald of Grass
Valley and Nevada City, California,
in its account of the return by Sher-
if Getchell of Dick Ballestreo, in
dulges in a needless lot of mendacious
lying. With some other rot the
paper says:
Mr.. Getchell states that Tonopah is the vie
est country he has ever been in. anu that there
is no such thing as organized law In the com
munty, Force is the only thing that preserves
peace, and the bad men in the town are only
kept within the bounds OF law through the fear
of being speedily dealt with.
In face of the fact that this wild
est country with all its multitudes
from here, there and everywhere has
never had but one homicide, and that
justitiable; in face of the fact that we
have always had a regularly organ
lied and able local court; in face of
the fact that no criminal action
originating here has ever cost Nye
county one dollar, and in view of the
further truth that, except the stage
robbery of last week, there has
never been a felony committed in
the town, the above wild statement
appears and is totally unfounded
Even the vags who have been
given ''floaters' or invitations to
promptly migrate evincc more
respect for the regular law and
order system of Tonopah than does
Sheriff Getchell The Union and
Herald accredits the sheriff for hav.
ing brought his prisoner home heavily
ironed, etc, for which there was
about as much necessity as there
would be to put four Oregon boots on
Il tame rabbit.

will in all probability inherit the es-
tate of their brother after few years
litigation and the absorption of some
millions by the great lawyers. The

placed the value of the Fair estate at

deducted left $40, 900, 900 to be divided

increased to nearly SIG, 600, 600 each
if they get it all. But the relatives

Guns Of larger calibcr are in use

this energy for the Italian French

The most dramatic feature of the
American rifle is its range, The
greatest actual performance in long
range shooting is that of the Krupp
gun, fired before the Kaiser in April,
1892, which carried twelve and one

will have, theoretically, the amazing
range of twenty-one miles. In other
woads, warship carrying such a
rifle could anchor in New York har-

would rise about six miles above the

with steel penetration of 423 inches.
The cost of firing one shot is about

Three Ingredients Needed-Recip
For LoayeS, Rusks and Rolls.
Good yeast, good -four and good COM
mon sense are the three essentials to
good breadmaking. Home manufac-
tured yeast is, ON the whole, most relia-
BILE, and it requires very little work.
IF possible, grow your OWN hops and
thus be assured of Il fresh article. On
farm or in Il small town 4 hop vine
Is very little trouble and is quite ade-
Quate to supply the needs OF n single
family. If gathered before the Septem-
Der rains, the hops are rarely infested
with aphides and may be easily dried
and packed in paper sacks for future
use.
To make yeast which will not sour
CRATE n half dozen medium sized pota
toes. Pour over them two or three
quarts of boiling water and add the
strained water in which a handful of
hops have been STEPPED. 1t should now
be thick and clear, like starch. Add
teacupful of white sugar and n table
spoonful of salt. Take out i half tea
cupful and when nearly cold add
teaspoonful of old yeast; stir well and
put in Il warm place to rise. When
light and foamy, stir it into the new
yeast. which should be milk warm.
Let it rise about three times, stirring
down vigorously every time. Cover
tight to keep out flies and keep in n
cool place. This yeast will not sour.
but 1t is apt to die if not renewed about
once n month.
For three loaves of bread stir into
quart of boiling sweet milk enough
flour to make stiff batter. When this
is cool, add one quart of sweet milk or
warm water, one teacupful of mashed
potato. one teacupful of yeast, two ia
blespoOnfuls of sugar and Il little lard.
Stir stiff and work on the kneading
board for five minutes. Put in Il warm
place to rise. If this is done at night,
by morning the bread will be ready to
form into loaveS, which will require
only sufficient kneading to get them
into shape. Let rise again, and ere
breakfast is over the bread is ready
for baking. This is especially advan-
tageous in summer, as the stove heat
is done away with early in the morn
ing.
For rusk. when kneading into loaves
reserve enough sponge for one loaf. To
this add one cupful of sugar, one egg
well beaten and Il little butter or lard.
Knead together and let rise. When
