A NEW WHEAT
Discovered by a Michigan Farmer
Has Desirable PecuIiari-
ties.

Battle Greek. Mich, Jan. o-Frank
HodSman. the well-known farmer of
Climax, has discovered or developed 4
new variety of wheat. In 1895 he dis
covered among his wheat Il stalk so
different from the rest that it at once
attracted attention. bearing very
large head and stem. He saved the
wheat and planted ii IN his garden.
Every kernel was red. but what was
hiS surprise when he harvested three
pints of the grain to ma sCme white.
some dark and the rest every shade
of color between.
He attempted to difTeTentiate it by
sorting. The white. the red and the
grade between were all planted sep
arately. But strangely all came mixed
as in the first place. white wheat grow
ing among the red ana red among the
white. Last spring he sowed one
bushel Of the wheat and this fall har-
vested seventeen and a half bushels.
which was nearly red. with only a few
white kernels. 1t has Il Iarge. strong
stalk. and successfully resisted the fly
in the spring. 1t ripened one week
earlier than other wheat. 1t is very
heavy. weighing siXty-four pounds to
Il measured bushel.

OLDEST TRIPLETS
Indianians Now Come Forward to
Claim the Distinc-

Goshen, Ind, Jan. 9.-rhe publica-
ton OF the reunion of the Young trip
lets, claiming for them that they are
the oldest living triplets in the state.
brings to light the fact that Indiana
was the birthplace of IA still older set
of triplets, who are still living. They
were for II long time residents Of Elk
hart county. and are well known
throughout the northern Indiana and
southern Michigan.
The Lehman triplets-GeorGe w,
Mary Magdalene and Frank P.-were
born near Peru on the 22d day of No
vember. 1853. and are consequently rs
years old. three years the senior of the
Young triplets. They are in perfect
health. They are the youngest of the
sixteen children of Daniel and Magda-
lene ShrOck Lehman, ten of whom are
still living.

is UNDER CONTROL
The Water in the Submerged
Mine at Negaunee,
Mich.
WHERE NINE MEN ARE ENToMBED
Some Time Must EIapse Before
Bodies Are Recov-
cred.

Negaunee, Mich, Jan. 9.-The latest
advice from the Negaunee mine is that
additional pumps are working and the
water is under control Officials state
that it may take a week or more to re-
cover the bodies of all the victims.
The work of rescue still continues
with uuabated vigor. Though the
work is greatly retarded by qulcksand
and water this difficulty is being over
come by the aid of extra pumps, and
from now forward the work of rescue
will proceed more favorably. Hopes
of finding the men alive are about
abandoned. President Cole and lead
ing officials of the Oliver Mining COM
pany arrived here from Duluth in n
special car and have been at the scene
Of the disaster directing the work OF
rescue. President Cole himself aided
in the work and penetrated the most
dangerous parts of the mine in the at
tempt to locate the unfortunate men.
The officials of the mine announce
that only nine of the workmen met
their fate as n result of the cave-in.
Not until yesterday afternoon was it
possible to determine who the victims
are. as the men who escaped were slow
to report to the office. The dead. ac-
cOrding to this estimate, are: William
Williams. pit foreman; John Sullivan,
pump man; John Pearce, John PascOe,
Jacob Mattson, Erick Lofty, Jacob
Hanala. William Hokanel and Louis
MattSon.
Some Time Before Bodies Are Recovered.
captain James Piper. in charge CT
mining operations, says it will be
week-1nd perhaps ten days-before
the bodies can be recovered. The
drif in n ff.h
is filled with water. and there is
large mass of ore and rock to remove
before the bodies can be reached. That
portion of the mine where the disaster
occurred Is in bad shape. The large
mass of dirt that went down loosened
the timbers in the shaft and the drifts
adjoining the one closed up. Two ex-
ira pumps We're put in yesterday and
two more We're added today.

ANOTHER SOURCE OF DIFFICULTY
International Relations Strained, Which
Makes Settlement Difficult.

International Relations Strained, Which
Makes Settlement Difficult.
Relations between the United States
and British cOunsuls and naval com
manderS and the Russian adminiStra-
tor at New Chwang are strained,
which makes Il friendly settlement of
the affair difficult. The administrator
attempted to enforce Il social code
which the foreign officials refused to
recognize, and consequently their re-
lationS have been limited to strictly
official interviews. and these have not
been amiable. consisting mostly on the
one side in protests against the action
Of the administrator, and on the other
in protests of the administrator against
the conduct of the sailors.
The memorandum presented by the
Russian minister To the United States
minister here related to various alleged
assaults committed by the United
States sailors. On one occasion, it was
asserted. three sailors attacked n SEN
try. and owed their lives to the sen
tryS forbearance in not exercising his
right to shoot The administrator de-
nanded that the United States consul
try the offenders, but the commander
of the Nicksburg, L. Il. Barry, wrote
Il curt refusal.
Minister Conger is endeavoring to
restore friendly relations at New
Chwang. He is urging the United
States consul there, Henry b. Miller,
10 cooperate with the Russian au-
thorities In suppressing and Furnishing
violence. The steps taken are, how
ever, seriously handicapped by the ac-
ton OF the Russians, who refuse to al
low foreigners to use the telegraph
line The foreigners at New Chwang
attribute the trouble largely to lack of
tact upon the part of the administra-
tor

Public Mind in Capital as
to Proposed COnstitu-
tionaI Convention.
.ELECTIONOF SENATORS
Said to be the Base of
MoVe--Other Wash
ington News.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9-There is n con-
certed movement to compel congress to
call a convention for the purpose of
amending the constitution of the Unit
ed States. the sentiment in favor of
popular election of senators being used
as the basis of the movement An un-
familiar provision of the constitution
provides that upon the application Of
the legislatures of twO-third of the
states congress shall call convention
for the purpose of proposing amend
ments, which shall he valid when rati-
fed by three-fourth of the states. The
press dispatches Tuesday included the
announcement that in the MaSsachu-
SettS legislature the chairman of the
Democratic state committee had intro
Guced resolution asking congress to
convene a constitutional convention for
the purpose of securing an amendment
providing for the popular election OF
senators.
VIII the Solons BE Consistent,
Inquiry shows that siH states have
already officially notified congress
through their legislatures that Il con-
StitutiOnal convention is desired. These
states are Michigan. Colorado. Mon
tana, Oregon. Idaho and Nevada. 1t
is rather a significant fact that already
more than thirty legislatures Illinois
among the number. have formally de
clared in favor of the election of sen
ators by the people. so that the adOp-
ton by each of them of another reSolu-
ton calling upon congress to order n
constitutional convention would seem
to be fOregone conclusion. The move
is not popular in certain quarters here,
and it is attracting much attention.
Effect on Business Is Feared.
Hostility to the move is not based
merely upon opposition to the proposed
amendment. but upon the fear that if
Il national constitutional convention is
called. the effect upon business viii be
disastrous. Ii is she opinion of the
best lawyers in the senate that if the
convention assemblies it could not be
confined to the one subject which is
mentioned in the acts of the legiSla-
lures. but that the whole field of re-
vision would be opened. This means.
of course, that every kind of sugges-
ton would be made. and as the con-
ventiOn would be in session for year,
the entire period would he one of un-
certainty and unrest, which might af-
feet business very diSaStrOuSly

FIGHT BEGINS on PENSIONS
Private Bills To BE Thoroughly Examined
Before Reporting.

Washington, Jan. 9.-During conSid-
Grafton by the senate yesterday Of pri-
vate pension legislation some impor-
tant statements were made by Calling
er. chairman of the committee on pen
sions. in respect to regulations adopted
by the committee TO govern it in con
sideratiOn of private pension bills. He
announced that none but absolutely
meritOriouS cases would be presented
to the senate for its consideration, and
that the closest scrutiny would be Civ
en- by the committee to every bill in
troduced. He said that no pension eX-
ceeding 500 month would he recon-
mended by the. committee for the wild
ow of a general officer, and that pen
siors for the widows of other officers
would be scaled down prOportiOnately.
The interesting case of DR.. LaZeare,
who at the instance of Johns Hopkins
university and of the government went
to Cuba and submitted himself to in
oculation with yellow fever through
mosquito bites, and died from the dis
ease thus contracted. was brought to
the senate'S attention by McComas,
who inquired whether Dr. LaZeare's
widow would be entitled to Il pension.
No decision was reached, but it was
the opinion of Gallinger and COckrell
that the case had no pensiOnable
status.
The debate on the -\icaraguan canal
bill in the house Yesterday developed
sentiment in favor abf giving consider
alton to the recent offer of the Panama
company to sell its franchises and
property fer S40.G00.OO0, this sentiment
taking the form of advocating the Nor
ris amendment TO empower the presi-
dent TO select the latter route if the
canal commission, upon considering the
company's Offer recommends 1t, and
the required concessions can be OBJ
tained from Colombia. OF sixteen
members who spoke yesterday nine
favored the Norris amendment. 1t
was agreed that general debate should
close today at D. M, after which the
bill will be open TO amendment under
the five-minute rule. The final vote
probably will be taken today.
