Shows Lack of PhO3phate,

When cattle chew leather, wood or
old bones it indicates a lack of phos-
phate or lime in their food, which is re-
uuired to supply bone material. tea
spoonful of bone meal given daily with
their grain will correct the habit and
supply the deficiency which induces
it. If the disposition to eat bones is
indulged in when cows are in grass the
deficiency then evidently exists in the
soil, and the pasture will be greatly
benefited by a top dressing OF bone
dust. Two or three hundred pounds to
the acre. sown broadcast, will repay at
tending expenses in better yield and
in quality of milk and butter.
Farm Notes.
If you do not have enough manure
for a large field use it on small plot,
and endeavor to make as much as pos
sible by concentrating the manure and
work to a limited area. Manure may
be wasted by attempting to make it do
service on a larger space than it will
profitably cover as well as entailng
more labor than the crop can compen-
safe for.
Sheen are one of the best kinds Of
stocks to keep in orchards. After
little practice they will pick up fallen
fruit quicker than hogs; and this is
often very important, as the codling
moth worm generally leaves the apple
soon after it drops. But, with either
sheep or hogs, sufficient food must be
s,1pplied or the trees will be barked.
The food thus given goes, however,
where it will do the most good, in the
production Of the largest and best
fruit.
There is quite a difference in the ad-
vantages of budding and grating. The
proper time for budding is any period
when good buds can be procured and
the bark will run on the stocks. Peach
es and roses are always budded, but
grating is used on apples, pears and
grapes. Budding is sometimes done in
order to change the tops of quite young
fruit trees. Dry weather is not favor
able to budding. and as a rule budding
is not as successful as grating.
Bones may be dissolved by the use
Of unleached wood ashes, especially il
they are broken or ground. The pro-
| horizons for a fertilizer, used by some
| farmers, are one barrel Of raw bone
| -four. three barrels dry wood ashes,
| fifty pounds of gypsum and ten gallons
of water. The materials are placed in
a heap upon the floor and stirred with
a hoe while the water is added The
mast is kept moist. and in two or three
! weeks will be ready for use. Five bar
rels of this mixture is considered an
! efficient and cheap dressing for an acre

first plan perfected was that for a
great ratification meeting Monday night
next. when there will be such a pro-
gram as promises to attract more than
enough Republicans to fill the Orpheum.
1t was quite time before quorum
could be obtained and finally sixteen
votes were found. Secretary Atkinson
reported that the registration commit

Yours most sincerely,

Secretary to the Imperial Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
To Captain A. A. Rosehill.
A demand was made upon Lieut.. Aki-
note that he give to Captain Rosehill
translation of the instructions left
with him by Captain Sakimoto of the
Imperial Japanese snip Kasagi, and a
copy of these instructions was accord
ngly furnished. The instructions read
as follows;
"Order TO the Second Lieutenant Aki-
note: Our ship shall return to the
naval port Yokosuka for the purpose
of coaling. l will remain you here; you
shall do your duty fully according the
order which is written after.

this island give him the letters of the
American ambassador and of Mr.. Ishii
g. If you see that he will not leave
the island after you gave two letters
to the Captain, ask him to leave there
as soon as he can, but give him your
maximum facilities and kindness tC
him when he ask you to mend the
wrecks,o his ship. 3. If he ask to land
on the island do not permit it, but
when he ask you the landing of his
crew for the health, permit it five men
at a time with some responsible man.
4. I will stay here fifteen seamen un-
der your control"
After some conferences the japanese
lieutenant, who seemed disposed to be
accommodating, agreed to allow Messrs
Bryan and Sedgwick to stop on the ISL
and for a short time, but would not
permit any of the sailors or officers of
the Whalen to remain, The lieutenant
gave them a small wooden house in
which to reside. They had their own
provisions and were allowed to pur-
chase water from the Japanese fisher
men.
Two days later further representa-
tions being made the Japanese lieuten-
ant permitted three of the sailors to
land and remain for the purpose OF
aiding Edr. Sedgwick in the work OF
examining the guano deposits. The
men and Mr.. Sedgwick were attended
during their subsequent labors by one
or more of the guard of marines. The
work of drilling and blasting holes
through the rock phosphate deposits
down to the coral required considerable
time. a few holes were sunk in diff

the island has been continually and al
most regularly visited by Japanese fish
ing and hunting vessels; and on all such
visits, the island was found to be en-
tirely uninhabited and unoccupied. In
1896 these periodical visits were turned
out in n permanent occupation, more
than twenty of our Ogasawara (Bonin)
islanders having now resolutely settled
in the island: and ever since then the
island has been in the continuous and
undisputed occupation of Japan.
In view of such continued activity on
the part of our enterprising people and
of the growing Importance Of and
/ considerable dimensions assumed by,
our interests in these waters, the I'm
perial Govt felt the necessity OF TAX
ing certain official and formal steps so
as to prevent any international compli-
cations which long negligence on their
part in this respect might possibly give
rise to. And in fact such official and
formal step was taken in 1898. In the
Toxic Prefectural Ordinance under date
of the oath July of the same year, the
island was Incorporated in the Ogasa-
wara (Bonin) Group and put under the
jurisdiction of the Toxic Prefecture,
and official name of the Minami Tori
shima (South Birds Island) was given
TO it. Encouraged by this Government
al measure, the Japanese settlers set
firmer foot in the soil and the con-
sequence was gradual and steady prog
ress of the colonization and extention
of the industry in this Japanese possess
sion beyond seas
1t is now about three days that we
have been staying off the island vainly
waiting your arrival. We were finally
led to suspect that you might not have
left Honolulu on the 18th Inst. as re-
ported. The coal, moreover, beginning
to fall short, it was with much reluc-
tance that we decided to return for
coaling without being able to meet with
you. 1 accordingly have to recapitu-
late in this note what 1 should have
personally pointed out to you.
I sincerely hope that you will agree
with me in thinking that the facts of
the case as above stated would
conclusively establish the validity of
our title. Should they however fail to
secure your adhesion, I need scarcely
call your attention to the fact that the
matter should be negotiated through
the diplomatic channel between the two
Governments and that no measure in
compatible with our right of prior pos
session and occupation should be taken
in the meantime. 1 have to ask you
for the sake of precaution that you
should take necessary steps against
your crew resorting to any hostile acts.
On this side Captain Sakamoto and
myself have not failed to give order
both to the inhabitants and the men
whom the Captain temporarily leaves
on the island that confident upon
your sense of justice they should under
no circumstance provoke the citizens of

REIGN OF TERROR
ON MARTINIQUE
Latest Eruption Covers Wide Area
and Is Worse Than the
First Ones.

CASTRIES, Island of ST. Lucia, Brit
ish West Indies. Sept. 1.-The British
steamer Korona arrived here yesterday
evening from Fort de France, island of
Martinique. She reports that a terrible
eruption of Mont Pelee occurred at 8
o'clock Saturday night and people who
arrived at Fort de France from the
northern part of the island reported
that the village of Morne Rouge, near
the district previously devastated, had
been entirely destroyed and that LIE
Carbet, village on the coast, which
was destroyed at the time of the great
eruption, had been swept by tidal
wave. About 200 persons lost their
lives.
Mont Pelee has been in constant erup-
ton since August Is. There was an
enormous fall of ashes from the volcano
the night of the 25th. There was a
very severe eruption the night of the
2Sth, when the volcanic rumblings were
heard at a great distance. The noun
tain burned fiercely that night. The
night of the SOth there were three sep
arate erhptions.

ed town of st. Pierre from the sea.

Pointe, villages to the northeast of the
crater. Horrible detonations were
heard, the ground rocked and quaked
and articles on tables were thrown to
the floor.
At o'clock in the evening of Satur-
day, the 90th, the sky was cloudless.
Suddenly and without warning one-half
of the horizon was obscured by pitch
black cloud of dust. This cloud was
the center of most magnificent electric
effects, the flashes of light SURPRISING
the most elaborate fireworks. Flames
and flashes continued to burst from the
cloud until nearly midnight. Columns
of flames shot out of the crater of Mont
Pelee to explode about the cloud in
showers of balls of golden fire. which
fell through the darkness in myriads
of sparks.
A tidal wave rushed upon Fort de
France and the terrified inhabitants
fed in large numbers to the Interior.
The wave was not severe and did but
slight damage.

TIMES DISCUSSES ROOSEVELT
Paper Credits Him with Taking n Bold
stand Against Party Wire
pulIers.

LONDON. Aug. 27.-The Times this
morning published an editorial article dis
cussing President Roosevelt's decision to
appeal from party wire pullers to the
people on the trust question. The paper
says: This is a bold decision IL Presi-
dent Roosevelt is ambitious, OF a second
term. but he is shrewd as we'll as courage
Gus. We cannot. however, venture to form
judgment Of his chances OF success
against the strong forces arrayed on the
opposite side. The American people
themselves have no very clear ideas on
this subject and their political prophets
are all at sea In their speculations.
"It is interesting to observe that IN
America It is frankly assumed that Mr.
Roosevelt's object is to throw a protecting
shield over the capitalist and his attacks
on the trusts are regarded with suspicion
by American protectionists.
''The result of the struggle between
craving for protection and impatience Of
monopoly will soon be visible in the
United States, and Mr.. Roosevelt, appar-
emily will have credit for having raised
great issue with conspicuous fearlessness."
