corps working in the Chippewa ceded
lands, submitted his third report since the

of 100000 acres of agricultural land to
settlement.

4 DRUNK FOR THE PLANTS
They Are Etherized and Flower in
Autumn Instead of in :
the Spring. !:

New York, Jan. 16.-An account Of the
etherization Of plants, a new process by
which plants naturally Towering in the
spring are made to produce blossoms
during the previous autumn, is cabled by
the London correspondent of the Times.
The process is simple. The plants are
stored in a small galvanized tank. Then
ether is poured into a small cup fixed
to the top Of the tank. whence, after the
tank has been securely fastened. the
ether is allowed to evaporate for a period
of forty eight hours. During this time
the plants shed their leaves, and may be
described as being In a state of intoxica-
ton.
After this period the plants are exposed
to the air for another period Of forty
eight hours. This in turn is followed a
second period Of etherization. after which
the plants are removed to an ordinary
forcing house, and within two or three
weeks begin to flower freely.

Daetard,y Attempt at Murder.
Columbia. S. c.. JAM 16.-The only
cause for the shooting of Editor Gonzales
by Lieutena% Governor Tillma1l, nephew
of the senator, yesterday, was that during
the recent primary election Mr.. Gonzales
bitterly opposed Lieutenant Governor Till
man in his race for governor.
During the progress Of that campaign
Mr.. Gonzales had editorially called him q
debauche and blackguard and denounced
him as criminal candidate and a proven
liar"
The lieutenant governor and the editor
met at the corner Of Main and Gervais
streets, just at the street car tracks trans
fer station. There was no encounter. fist
fight quarrel. Mr.. Tillnan, the testi-
mony now all seems to be, simply drew his
revolver and fired.
Mr. Gonzales was unarmed. The shock
from the magazine pistol ,paralyzed him.

a; second time, perhaps for fatal bullet,
he cried out: "Shcot again, you coward
There was only one shot fired and that
entered the right side between the eighth
and ninth ribs and passed through the
fore part of the body, coming out just
above the free border of the ribs.
He was removed to the city hospital
where surgeons performed an operation.
The operation was regarded as successful.

Gonzales is of Spanish extraction, being
the of Ambrose Jose Gonzales who,
with Narcisso Lopez began the struggle
for Cuban independence in 184S. He is
now 45 years old. He himself served in
the ranks Of the Cuban insurgents in
1895. He organized the Columbia State
newspaper in 1891, and has been always
a bitter opponent of the Tillnan faction
in South Carolina politics.
Governor Sweeney was asked for an ex-
preston as to the affair and he said:

THE HIGHER RATES
The Pennsylvania and Lackawana
Lines Explain the Causes to-
the I. G. Commission. .:
Confessions to Certain Rebates Are
Made-Wages Have
~ =.
Advanced. ~ ~. ~:

Washington, Jan. 16-The Pennsyl-
Vanla railroad, the Pennsylvania company
(the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitts
burg), the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western and the Lehigh. Valley railroads
have submitted to the interstate COM
merce commission statements that the
Increases in freight rates on grain and
grain products, dressed meats and pack
ing house products and a few other COM
mod1ties are merely restorations to q
usual or reasonable basis and are justi-
fled by increasing expenditures s, :
The Pennsylvania railroad admits that
during the six months ending Jan. 1,
1902, it participated in the payment of
rebates on shipments originating at
points west of P1ttsburg to the extent
of approximately $4,000. From then un-
til June 3d. last. the Pennsylvania says
it paid no rebates. .,s
While the cost of material and labor is
an important factor in justifying it's re-
storations Of rates affected by the in
creases thek Pennsylvania points to the
increased c0ytY Of operations due to the
difficulty of moving an abnormally large
traffic. It claims that during periods of
commercial depression rates are reduced,
but when business is active and profitable
to manufacturers and shippers it is rea-
sonable that railroads should share in it.
The Pennsylvania, company says that
allowances (rebates) approximating $50
900 or 100000, were made from July
1, 1901, to Jan. 1, 1902, but none: have
since been granted. Since May 1, last,
the average rate Of wages Of employees
has increased about 81 per cent. The
Pennsylvania company estimates that the
advance in the rates on grain, grain pro-
ducts dressed beef and export provisions
will increase it's revenues only $50, 900
to $180000, while the increased cost of
labor and material will aggregate at~least
| $2 900, 900.
The Lehigh Valley replies that there
has been no general advance in rates
and none IS contemplated. The rates on
| the commodities mentioned had been re-
| duced below reasonable basis. g..
! The Delaware. Lackawanna & Western
says that in 1902. as compared with 1900
! there was an average increase Of about
! 80 per cent in the cost Of the main articles
Of supply. The increased cost for wages
beginning with the first of this year, is
estimated at 100000 annually.

Shot.
New York Sun Special Service.

Frankfort, KY. Jan. 16.-Henry Yout-
sey was recalled by the Franklin county
grand Jury and further examined with ref
erence to the murder Of William Goebel.
Prison Commissioner J. M. Richardson,
who, by reason of his official position, en-
joys privileges not enjoyed by ordinary
newspaper men, says Youtsey told the
grand jury that it was Jim Howard who
fired the fatal shot. Mr.. Richardson
makes this statement in a letter to the
Glasgow Times, Of which he is editor. He
says in part:
I'm a general way it can be said that
Youtsey lays bare the secrets Of a con-
spiracy to assassinate, reaching frbm
among the highest officials of the state
down to the actual murderer who pulled
the trigger. Many of those accused have
left the state, verifying their guilt by their
absence. Jim Howard is declared to have
fired the fatal shot,
Mr.. Richardson says he knows the state
ment made by Youtsey at the prison, but
that he is not at liberty to give the de-
tails of it. Mr.. Richardson is also author
ity for the statement, that Youtsey has
made a confession and that the beginning
Of the legal investigation into the death
of William Goebel has just begun.
