Crop Of Tobacco Grown by the

Auction.

His Experts

the Work.
HE SHOWED THEM HOW

New York, Jan. Sit has been de-
cided by a meeting here of the govern
ment commission which is to advise the
department of agriculture in relation
to the coming sale of the harvest of
Connecticut grown Sumatra tobacco,
planted and raised in the Connecticut
valley last year under the direction and
supervision of the department to hold
the sale in this city about May l.
The department furnished the seed
for this planting, gave full directions
for the care of crop and sent a corps
of twenty experts to Connecticut to
supervise the growth, curing and pack
ing of the tobacco. The actual expense
of growing and harvesting of the crop
was borne by the growers, but the ex-
pert supervision as well as the seed and
directions was supplied by the depart
ment- Forty-five acres of land were
planted, the understanding being that
the growers should learn enough by in
struction and experiment to enable
them to carry on the industry on their
own account and responsibility here
after. The growers have agreed 10 have
the sale of the entire crop take place
under the auspices of the department,
in order to show just what has been
accomplished by the government ex-
merits

ONE OF THE BOYS.
Mother Rather Got the start of Them

Sometimes the mother plays a turn on
the young people and greatly to their
benefit. A young lady in Memphis,
Tenn, Miss B. Dye of 222 Carroll Ave,
comments in an interesting way about
the harmless little deception her mother
played upon one of the family during
the summer.
She says, Every member of our fam
lily could write a testimonial about Pos
tum Food Coffee and what it has done
for US Father has really been made
over since quitting coffee and using Pos
tum, but must tell you about Brother
When he came home from college last
summer be was thin and looked dread
fully. We questioned him about his
food and drink. He said he drank coffee,
OF course 1 can't get along without
good cup of coffee three times a day.
Mother did not say anything to him, but
made Postum for him just the same.
and at the next meal he complimented
her on the coffee. Several times he said,
Now if just had such coffee as this at
school I could make better averages in
my studies.'
So during the whole summer he drank
Postum, thinking it was strong coffee,
and we could all see, from day to day,
how much he was improving in health
His complexion gradually cleared up,
and he gained in every way. When he
went back in the fall mother told him
the secret she had kept for over three
months, and put several packages of
Postum in his trunk
You may depend upon it, the lesson
was one he will never forget My
younger brother quit coffee about a year
ago and has been using Postum Food
Coffee. and he has been built up from a
regular invalid until he is now a fat,
rosy-cheeked boy, full of life and fun
Just the other day he remarked he was
getting along SO much better in his
studies than ever before and he won

show that in some manner the Oregon
at least was under his orders during
the battle, first by answering the signal
close up" and afterWard by firing her
13-inch guns under signal from the
Brooklyn, and they say but that at
tempt as the testimony to be quoted
below shows, was a failure
They quote, therefore, passages fron
Captain Clark's testimony, in which he
said, in regard to the order "close up, "
that that was standing order in ehe
squadron, to attack the enemy at once
If they appeared and to keep the heads
of the ships always toward the en-
trance" and Il remember a feeling OF
satisfaction that there was an order to
close in, in case any accident had hap
pened-any colliding with other ships.
As to the alleged order from the Brook
lyn directing the Oregon to fire her 10
inch guns, the commentators again
quote from Captain Clark'S testimony,
where when asked if the guns were
fired in pursuance of an order from the
Brooklyn. the captain said: mo, sir;
/ fired them after celebrating with the
officers" and "if they, the Brooklyn,
made a signal, did not see it,
The comment" closes in the follow
ing words:
"The contention that the magnificent
work of the Oregon. or any part of it,
was done under orders from the Brook
lyn or that the Oregon received and
obeyed even a single order from Com
n odore Schley from the time the Span
iSh ships were sighted to the time of
the surrender of the Colon, which sur
render may fairly be taken as the close
of the battle must be abandoned; and
with it goes the last peg upon which to
hang the pretense of a claim that dur
ing the battle of Santiago Commodore
Schley effectively exercised any of the
functions of commander-in-ch chief
THE weight of the testimony is to
the effect that the commodore con-
trolled the movements of his flagship
the Brooklyn well, with the exception
of the loop, but it also shows, not mega
lively. but affirmative1y and beyond
question, that he did not control the
operations of the fleet in general on
that day.
"All this is established not by theo-
retical deductions or expert or mex
pert opinion, but by direct, positive, un-
impeaehed and unimpea cha BILE teSti-
N ony, given under oath by the adj
miraPs brothers in arms.
THE plain truth of the matter, there
fore, developed for the first time under
the searchlight of this inquiry, although
quite incidentally, is that so far as the
Gloucester. the Iowa, the Indiana, the
Texas and the Oregon are concerend.
not the stroke of a propeller blade, not
the touch of a helm. not the firing of a
shot, was done under the direction OF
by the orders of Admiral Schley during
this memOra BILE battle"

CHRISTMAS STORY DlsoREDITED.
Sam rrancIsco chronicle.

Capt. Christmas, the author OF the
charges OF bribery in connection with
the sale of the Danish West Indies ISL
ands TO the United states, has been re-
pudiated In Copenhagen. His charges
are, therefore, discredited at the Dan
ish capital as well as at Washington.
The Danish ministry officially an
nounce that he was not acting in any
sense as their agent. The Danish prem
Ter refused him an audience and de-
clined to receive copy of his report on
the subject OF the negotiations. In
Washington everyone named as impll-
Gated In the charges has made the
most positive denial under oath Of any
relations with Christmas. The whole
miserable business has, therefore re-
solved itself plainly into a conspiracy
on the one hand TO embarrass the ad-
ministratlon at Washington.

VOWED IN this important subject. They

This Is held In view IN the cndeavors
that have been made for a suspension
Of the sale Of government lands in the
regions referred TO, until commission
duly appointed can inquire fully into
the matter, IN order to determine those
different interests, the purpose being
to ubserye the general welfare, It Is
clear to thoughtful minds that those
large areas Of uplands which are be-
ing sought for as sheep and cattle
ranges. to be bought up by syndcates
and hock-owners, ought not to pass
out Of the control Of the settlers in the
state, and that something ought to be
done to prevent the great disasters
which would certainly ensue If the wa
tersheds were thus disposed OF.
During the suspension Of the sale Of
auch lands, conditions now existing
win remain without detrlment TO any
Of the parties in interest other than
such as now exist. The withdrawal OF
those lands from entry IS to be, as we
have explained, only temporary with
