ESTIMATES PUT DOWN.
Debate Begun With ludicrous Game
of Cross-Purposes,

London. May u.-By one of those curl
Gus arrangements in which Mr.. Balfour
delights the vote on the army estimates
was put down for Thursday. not because
the government wanted the money. but
for the purpose of raising an academic
debate on the campaign in Somaliland.
The result was not impressive.
An amendment for the nominal reduc-
tion in the vote was rejected by the full
strength of the Afinisterialists. and so
far as the real policy of the government
IS concerned. if indeed it has a policy and
is not merely drifting the country is not
much wiser than before
The debate began with ludicrous game
OF cross purposes. The representative OF
the foreign Office not unnaturally suppos-
ed ne would be attacked for sending the
expedition against the Mullah beyond the
limits OF the British protectorate in So
maitland and had prepared his defence
accordingly.
Lord Cranborne seems to believe that
the unity Of the Liberal party which ex-
lists in the imagination of the liberal jour
nalists is solid fact. II so. he was I'M
deceived on Thursday. Mr.. Charles Hob

Sofia, Sept. 15.-Warned by previous
disastrous experiences, the revolution
ary leaders have decided to adopt only
guerrilla tactics in Eastern Macedonia,
which is expected to exhaust the
Turks much sooner.
The insurgents now have nearly
1000 men armed with rifles in Eastern
Macedonia and thousands of peasants
are ready to join their forces when
general rising has been proclaimed.
This step is being delayed for arms
and ammunition. The Turkish forces
in Eastern Macedonia are estimated at
1900.
In the conflicts in the mountains of
Prin the Turks are reported to have
lost heavily.
diers permit no one to leave the town
and the peasants in the surrounding
villages have all been killed and their
villages destroyed.
SSNSlC hSHlinS has OCCullCu HSdl
the town of Okrida, in which the Turks
lest heavily, but the insurgents were
forced to retire. An engagement be-
tween the Turks and insurgents has
taken place at Ribartzi, near Kitsche-
vo, and there again the Turks had
many killed and wounded, while the
insurgent casualties amounted to
three. The villages Of Tzetina and
Skotchivir, in the same district, have
been destroyed and their inhabitants
massacred.
While it is possible that a Turco-
Bulgarian war may even yet be avert
ed the probabilities Of such an en-
counter were never greater than at the
present moment kilograms from
Constantincple appear in the papers
asserting that the ambassadors had
urged the sultan's government to sup
press the insurrection without any con-
sideration of mercy and not to hest
tate to burn and destroy the villages
or take any other steps which might
be deemed necessary.
The Bulgarian ministry, there ap-
pears to be little doubt, in face of the
strongest pressure, has endeavored to
maintain strict neutrality, but it ap-
pears very possible that the govern
ment may now depart frim this posi-
ton.

GOVERNMENT TAKES UP CASE.
Army Officers Have Not Given up the
Man Who Killed Boy at Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Sept 14.-Captain p. G
Harris, representing Lieutenant Col
onel Il. B. Robertson, commanding at
Fort Niagara, near Buffalo, came here
to investigate the shooting of William
H. Crowley, Is years old, by a private
of the Ninth United States infantry, a
sentry near the Allegheny arsenal
grounds on Thursday.
The soldier who did the shooting is
in the arsenal and the officer in COM
mand refused to give him up to the
civil authorities. The United States
government has acted in the matter.
Lieutenant Drury Immediately after
the shooting laid the facts before his
superiors and Major General Chaffee
ordered him to abide by the articles Of
war. Then Captain Harris was or
dered here to investigate and to in
spect the arsenal. He will confer
with the United States district at.
torney. The local police must await
the decision of the military men. They
are powerless to act.
A crowd had gathered to see the Off
Ger sent here by the federal govern
ment for the shooting has caused
great excitement, A throng was about
the gates when Captain Harris arrived.
All were disappointed, for they expect
ed him to appear in full uniform. He
came in civilian clothes.

EASY TO BREED CORN.
interesting Experiments by Funk
Brothers Near Bloomington, III.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Among the most
interesting propositions for the in
creasing of returns to corn raisers is
one that is being carried on in a sue
cessful and practical method by the
Funk Brothers of Bloomington, Ill.
These gentlemen are breeding corn
upon their large tract of land consist
ing of $500 acres in one body near
that city. The idea which they are
putting into effect is to increase the
returns from their corn lands both
by increasing the yield and increasing
the feeding value of their corn. They
are taking up this matter of breeding
corn. which was inaugurated at the
Illinois experiment station and de-
monstrated to be both practical and
profitable by Professors C. G. Hop
kins and A. B. Shamel. By this sys-
TEN of breeding, which is in effect
seed selection, they are selecting those
strains of corn which show the great
est yield, and have already produced
a strain of corn that outyields the or
dinary type to a considerable extent.
The varieties started with were
those recognized by the Illinois Seed
Corn Breeders association, and which
have been bred for many years by old
md successful corn breeders.
For example; The Reids yellow
Ient has been bred for almost so years
by the Reid family, formerly of Del
avian, ILL.,, and perhaps has its char
acteristics fixed to a greater degree
than any Of the other varieties. Also
the Leaning is another variety which
was originated in 1926 by ]. S. Lean
ing of Ohio. The Boone county white
Is another variety of corn grown upon
these farms, and was originated in In
diana by Mr.. Riley.
A complete chemical laboratory has
been established by this firm in which
samples from many thousand ears of
corn are analyzed. and those ears
showing the greatest amount of oil
or protein are planted in separate
breeding blocks, one ear being planted
to single row, and these single rows
are harvested separately and from the
corn raised from these mother ears is
selected by analysis that which is
highest and planted by themselves
another year. These breeding blocks
are completely isolated from any other
corn, and are thus kept pure.
