THE ROMANCE O.

THE ROMANCE OF HORTICULTURE.
Some of the work of the agricultural
department at Washington reads al.
most like a romance. From three tiny
trees of the navel or seedless orange inn
ported from Brazil some years ago, only
one of which made a live of it, has de-
yeloped the enormous orange industry
of the Pacific coast, amounting to 90
900 carloads of fruit this year, mostly
navels These trees were threatened
by a parasite five years ago for which
there seemed no remedy till few lady
bugs were imported from Australia and
turned into the orange orchards, where
they soon multiplied and made short
work of the parasite, Then the San
Jose scale, proof against any form of
spraying, threatens not only the fruit
trees, but forest trees as well, and sci
enlist goes into far north China, where
the white man has but rarely set foot,
and there finds the scale held in SUI,
lection by another kind of ladybu's,
which he carefully collects and ships
but fourteen of them reaching the d..
partment at Washington in safety, ard
now the department is prepared to fur
nisn any quantity of these bugs to any
locality affected with the San Jose
scale.

CHAIRMAN AGNEW.
Will Call the Virginia State Republi-
can Committee

Park Agnew, chairman of the republican
state committee of Virginia said today
that he had called a meeting of both the
state committee and the executive commit
tee of the state to be held in Murphy's Ho-
tel, Richmond, Va. June IL. The principal
purpose of the meeting is to have the state
committee consider which is the legal city
organization of the republican party of
Richmond What is known as the Milo
Williams faction of Richmond was regard
ed as the regular organizat ton until the
Elliott faction appealed to the executive
committee, which sustained the appeal and
decided in favor of Elliott as the legal city
chairman of Richmond Milo Williams
and his faction have appealed from this
decision to the full committee In addl-
ton to this matter of a dual organiZa ton
in Richmond, the state committee will
consider how much help it will extend to
the plan for the establishment OF a first
class paper at Roanoke. devoted to repub-
hcan interests. Prominent republicans of
the state. including Representative Semp
have given their sanction to such a paper
and will extend financial aid to it, The
state committee will consider what it will
do under the circumstances.
1t Is confidently believed that reso-
luton endorsing the administration of Pres
ident Roosevelt and declaring for his nom
ination by the republican party will be
passed by the full state committee without
dissent. There Is no other sentiment IN
Virginia, said Chairman Agnew. THE
republicans of the state feel that the Pres
ident deserves the nomination of his party
and that he will be elected by large ma
jority- There is reason that / can
see why he should not be indorsed and the
support of the state pledged to him This
was done by the state committee in the

OPENS A FINE CAREER
Prospects for Young Men in the Philip
pine ConstabuIary

The War Department is giving serious
consideration to a proposition that has
come through Col Edwards, chief of the
bureau of insular affairs. from Gen. Henry
t. Allen, chief of the Philippine constabu-
larry, looking to the improvement of that
service Gen. Allen feels that a fine career
offers in the constabulary for graduates of
the American military schools who have
any special aptitude for military work He
believes that fifteen or twenty such young
men annually could be placed in the con-
stabulary as officers, and the better of these
would undoubtedly make more progress
than they could in the United States while
this leaven would do very much to improve
the mass of the constabulary. While at
first they would not be so valuable as the
highest grade of commissioned officers
who have already had service in the Phil
ippines. Gen Allen feels that in the long
run they would be superior to the class of
men who are now entering the service. The
pay and emoluments are to be increased
but even at present the pay runs from $500
to SO0 for a third lieutenant to 81 200 to
sl.aO for captain. beside which the al
lowances are ample for house rent and
there are no hospital expenses.
owing to the number of stations the per-
centage of officers in the constab abulary is
large Their duties much more re-
sponsible and varied than those of corre-
spending grades in the regular service and
senior inspector of the province. ordi-
nar1ly captain, certainly has a large or a
larger command. including municipal police
OF the various towns, under him, than has
the average battalion commander. 1t is In
fact very responsible position.
Heretofore the department has pursued
the plan of allowing the Philippine govern
ment TO select all of it's own constabulary
officers. preference being given to discharg-
ed soldiers. who have picked up knowl-
edge of Spanish and Tagalog and have be-
come acquainted with the country through
their military service. 1t is not intended to
depart from this policy to any considerable
degree, but 1t is probable that Gen. Aliens
suggestion viii be accepted as a means of
eievating the personnel of the constabulary.

land office has had prepared a statement
giving the exact amount of the fund set
apart for the reclamation of arid lands

Major Howe Exonerated After a
Thorough Examination Of Evidence.
Secretary Root and Judge Advocate Cen
eral Davis have just concluded full and
exhaustive examination of the charges pre-
ferred against Maj. Robert L. Howze, 9th
Cavalry, of alleged cruel treatment or ma
tive prisoners In the Philippines in the
spring of 1900 One of the allegations was
that Major Howe caused a, prisoner to be
whipped SO severely that he died as re-
suit.
1t is said that Major George K. Hunter,
18th Cavalry was responsible for the
charges and that he filed afhdavits to sus-
tain them. Major Howe asked that
court of inquiry be appointed to investigate
the charges
The action of Secretary Root in the mat
ter will be officially announced this AFTER
noon.
He has found that the charges are based
almost entirely upon exparte afidav1ts ana
that they are not sustained by the evil
dence In other words, the case against
Maj. Howe was not made out and the
Secretary declined his request for a court
of inquiry. In order. however, to sift the
case to the bottom, he has decided to have
an examination made in the Philippines
and elsewhere of the persons who made the
affidavits and the witnesses referred to In
them.
The witnesses will be examined wherever
they can be found, In the Philippines or
elsewhere. and every effort taken to ascer-
tain the facts. An inquiry. will also De
made as to Major Hunters course In the
matter in order to determine whether or
not he was Influenced by malice or preju-

NEW ELECTRIC LINE.
From City's Center to Fairfax Court
House.

Within the next ten months, IL the plans
now under way are carried out as expect
ed 1t will be possible to take an electric
car in the center OF the city and ride to
Vienna and to Fairfax Court House, Va.
This has been made possible within the
last few days, when contract was signed
between the officers of the projected cleo
trio railway and the Mount Vernon Rail
way Company. Under the terms of this
agreement the cars of the new road are to
pass to the tracks of the Mount vernon
railway at Arlington junction and thence
over the Long bridge to the terminus Of
the latter road at Pennsylvania avenue
and 1872 street.
The new road is to be built under a char
ter granted by the Virginia legislature TO
a corporation styled the Fairfax, Potomac
and Washington Electric Railway Com
pany. This charter was granted several
years ago, and only recently, as explained
by the secretary and treasurer, George +.
Robinson, has 1t been possible TO get all the
plans in shape.
There were rights of way to secure, as
well as important traffic arrangement with
sion from the toWn. council Fof Falls Church
for right of way through the main street
of that town.
Mr.. Robinson says that everything Of the
sort has been completed with the exception
of obtaining the right of way through
few small pieces of land, and condemna-
tion proceedings are about to be Instituted
In such cases. He thinks 1t will be possi-
BILE to grade and build the@road within ten
months, and that by next Christmas the

MATINICOCK POINT. n. Y. May D.
The three cup yachts, the Reliance. Consti-
tuition and Columbia. started today I'm the
fourth of the preliminary trials the
Glen Cove course.
The wind at the start was from the south
southwest and blowing about ten or twelve
knots an hour.
The course for todays race was trianS-
ular one of twenty-five miles. This will
be run almost of the wind of eleven
miles. a reach of three miles across tho
sound and run home OF eleven miles
Sharp Contest for Position.
At the start there was sharp contest
for position between the Reliance and Con-
stitution the Columbia keeping away and
crossing the line first.
The official time was: Columbia I2:lb2I;
Reliance, l2:164 43; Constitution 12:l7.
A half mile from the start the Reliance
and the Constitution passed the Columbia
to the windward and the Constitution had
drawn up on the Reliance until she al
most on her weather quarter.
The wind before the yachts had sailed
half the first leg dropped off to about seven
knots. At Lloyds Neck 1t looked from
shore as If the Reliance was leading the
Constitution by short distance.
Accident to Constitution.
At 12:55 o'clock schooner came between
the yachts and the observers on shore.
When she moved away the Constitution
had down her club topsail and was head ng
for Huntington harbor.
She appeared to have met with an acci-
dent. The other yachts continued the race,
the turning time at the first MARI seen
from shore being: Reliance, l:13.2,; Column
bia, 1:16:10
The exact nature of the accident to the
Constitution could not be determined from
here, because of a thick haze, but IL ap-
peared certain that at least her topmast
had been carried away. She made no at
tempt to continue in the race.
Proceeding Under Own Canvass.
The Constitution was headed back for
Glen Cove, proceeding under her own can
vas. She carried topsaiI and from that
1t was inferred that the accident was to the
topmast.
The other two yachts continued I'm the
race and as seen from shore turned the
second mark as follows: Reliance, 1:31 Is;
Columbia, 1:35:10.
The Reliance won. beating Columbia

THE FIGHT HOPELESS
WALL STREETS OPPOSITION TO
RoosEvELT's NOMINATION.
Two Different Statements, but Senator
Platt is Believed to Have Sized
Up the Situation.

At republican political dinner in New
York this week the statement was made
that the New York delegation to the re-
publican national convention would contain
twenty delegates who would oppose the
nomination of Theodore Roosevelt. The
diners recalled the fact that the republican
state convention at Saratoga as long ago
as last summer indorsed the nomination
of Mr.. Roosevelt, an issue having been
raised prior to the convention on that point
just as has been done in Ohio.
The Sentiment of Wall Street.
The statement that twenty delegates in
the New York delegation would oppose the
President reflected the sentiment of Wall
street and the trust interests, which are
openly opposing President Roosevelt. Some
doubt was expressed at the dinner whether
these twenty delegates would have the
temerity to hold out against the other hfty-
eight delegates who would favor Mr.. Roose-
welt but the tiRoosevelt sentiment IN
sisted that the twenty would Stand laSt.
That dinner was attended by adherents OF
both the Platt and Oden factions of the
New York republicans and is described as
having been held amid a kind of armed
truce each gentleman eating with one
hand on his six-shooter and his bowie knife
handy in his bootleg, figuratively speaking.
In order that it might be well understood
that the passing of the salt-cellar d1d not
wipe out existing fueds the statement was
made in the course of the feast about those
twenty insurgent delegates.
Senator Platt's Prediction.
In New York yesterday Senator Flatt at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel talked to some of
his newspaper friends and, according to the
reports ventured the prophecy in his mild
and gentle way that President Roosevelt
would be nominated by acclamation He
brushed aside the Spartan band of twenty
as inconsequential atoms that would be
swallowed up finally in an enthusiastic and
irresistible whole
And yet the senator is supposed to be in
touch with that hostile sentiment of Wall
street, whether in sympathy with it or not,
and at least to be able to approximate its
power and extent. His offices "a 40 Broad
way, just across from the swirling mart of
finance, are visited daily by the captains of
industry and legionaries of finance who are
charged with assembling the forces hostile
to the President.
Whatever Senator Platt says about the
President is received. therefore with In
terest by politicians, and his statement of
yesterday is taken here as confirmation of
the conviction which has been growing
among republicans that the interests mimi
cal to the President have abandoned their
fight as hopeless
