It is hard to account for this

A great host of farmers have

what they call scientific farm

in papers devoted to farming.

Company and regimental politics were
the original cause OF the trouble. Into
the merits OF the cases against the accused

appears that the court martial was i'm
properly advised In finding Lieut.. GRIFFIN
guilty on the evidence before IL, and that
Sergt. MoNALLY and Private GoRMAE did
not have such trial previous to their dis
charge as is provided for by the Military

ship any considerable quantity OF sugar
to the British Islands. 1t seems that, on
the contrary, Quee nsland is already
sending substantial quantities Of sugar
to the United Kingdom, and may be ex-
pected to send more should prices rise.
Then, again, sugar production in Canada
is rapidly increasing. 1t follows that,
although Holland, Germany and Austro-
Hungary have, for the moment, accepted
the plea that the British importations OF
sugar from the colonies mentioned are
insignificant, they may at any hour re-
cede from the convention on the ground
that it has been violated by Great Britain.
As for the Crown Colonies, and particu-
larly the British West Indies, which have
been counting on the sugar convention
to assure to them revival Of their old
prosperity, they seem likely to lose in
one way all or much Of what they may
gain in another. Thus, the other day the
Colonial Secretary was asked in the
House of Commons whether the State
aid for coolie immigration in the colony
Of Guiana was not open to objection
under the Brussels convention as sugar
bounty. Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN gave an
evasive reply; but it appears that the
planters have been informed that they
will in future have to bear the whole of
the cost of coolie immigration. There
seems to be no doubt that other State
grants and advances made for the pur-
pose of encouraging the sugar industry
will have to be withdrawn for like
reason.
1t is obvious that the United States
and Cuba are interested in the matter.
Even If the Brussels convention were
already operative, and fulfilling the high
est hopes Of cane-sugar growers, it would
still be the duty Of our House Of Repre-
sentatives to approve the reciprocity
treaty with Cuba ratified by the Senate.
The duty will, of course, be emphasized
II, as now seems evident, the convention
is but a temporary measure, liable to be
set aside at any hour.

of the American people, all they have
been and arc and will be, the national
solidarity and pride, are in those familiar
airs. The emotion Of whole nation is
latent in them. In times of peril they
will move crowds to tears. However
deficient as poetry, they are the sym
bols OF an irresistible sentiment and they
transcend all poetry in their appeal to
the national imagination. Almost dog
gerel, if you choose, but doggerel with
heroic and epic potentialities.
So with many religious hymns, writ
with little skill Of songcraft, simple OF
thought, ragged Of rhyme justly sub
ject to the contempt Of TRIdGs; but they
have a noble or pathetic meaning to
many OF us. Some quiet corner OF our
youth lives in them still. They speak
TO multitudes the sacred language of
faith and hope. Poor poetry, some OF
them, but tremendous symbols.

LITTLE RECOIL TO NEW GUN.
Omcers Quiet About Results Of Tests OF
Illuminating Shells.

Lieut.. Gen. Miles and the other men,
beers of the Army Board Of Ordnance and
Notifications went to the Sandy Hook
proving grounds again yesterday and
spent several hours watching further tests
of rapid-flre guns. Gen. Joe Wheeler and
his son, Capt. Joseph Wheeler, Jr., in
structor Of ordnance at West Point, went
along The party returned 10 the city
early in the afternoon and most Of the
visiting officers started at once for Wash
ington. None Of the members Of the board
would discuss the tests further than to
say that the results were satisfactory.
The principal object OF the two days
series Of tests was to give the board some
idea of the comparative merits OF the
Hotchkiss. vickers-Maxim and MCLEAN
one FOUNDER automatic machine guns,
petition. Most Of the boards time WAS
taken up yesterday In observing the
Mclean gun in action, the other two hav-
ing been tested on the previous day. Some
additional tests Of the Hotchkiss gun were
made In the morning, however.
The MCLEAN gun was tried while mounted
on a mountain carriage and on the ordinary
field carriage; According to its inventor,
DR. S. N. MCLEAN Of Cleveland, the cardinal
principle of the operation Of the gun is
the use OF the waste powder gases 10

and an extreme range Of more than two

type is soon to be made by the board
Speaking OF his machine rife, the inventor
said yesterday:
This gun is intended for introduction

the company using the ordinary Krag.
These batteries could at the strategic
moments Of battle outshoot half a regiment
None OF the army officers would talk
officially yesterday of the illuminated
grounds on Wednesday night 1t was
learned, however, that the purpose OF
these shells is 10 enable artillerymen to
determine whether an object fred at in
the night has been struck by the rojectile,
the shell describing fiery course from
the moment Of leaving the gun until it
lands. Several years ago somewhat similar
experiments were made at Sandy Hook
with Illuminated shells devised by army
officers with the idea OF lighting up the
enemy's trenches in actual warfare. The
shells did not prove a success, the illumina-
tion dying away too quickly to be of real
advantage.

THE OUTBREAK AT SALONICA.
Minister Leishman on the situation In
the Turkish Empire.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-Oflcal informa-
ton concerning the Bulgarian revolutionary
outbreak at Salonica, nearly q month ago,
in which the Ottoman Bank and other places
were destroyed by dynamite, was received
at the State Department to-day from John
u. A. Leishman, United States Minister at
Constantinople, and P. H. Lazzare, United
states Consular Agent at Salonica.
Mr.. IAzzare. writing to Mr.. Leishman
under date Of May s, corrects a previous
report as to the number OF victims of the
outbreak. He had estimated that the Bull
garians killed numbered $50, but personal
investigation showed that not more than
IS corpses had been buried in the Bulgarian
cemetery or anywhere else The other
victims. including Turks, numbered not
more than rs.
An attempt was made on Sunday morn
ing, May 8, to blow up the telegraph Office"
says Mr.. Lazzare. but the man was killed
by the soldiers on guard before he could
light his bombs A state Of siege virtually
exists, but has not been officially pro-
claimed. The city Is more tranquil now
and certain amount Of business is being
transacted. After dark nobody is allowed
on the streets"
AAo Hah6 oAi 'hC pi'ooioiA -'A''HS'Si
Leishman says:
1T Is quite possible that numerous at
tempts to blow up buildings. &C., may
be made which may not be entirely con-
Hned to the Macedonian district, but the
Turkish, Government appears to be
thoroughly alive to the situation, and extra
precautions are being taken everywhere
to prevent surprises and quell any out
break
-Owing to the anxiety expressed by the
embassies, one sees extra patrols all over
Pera (the diplomatic quarter of Constanti-
nople) and considerable uneasiness prevails
everywhere.
80 far the Turkish aut horities have
behaved most admirably and held the
Mussulman population in check and pre-
vented them from retaliating for the many
outrages committed by the Christian popu
lation, but II the indiscriminate shooting
and dynamite explosions continue it might
be difficult to prevent reprisals, which might
lead to wholesale massacres.
THE disturbed state OF affairs in the
Macedonian district, together with the
guerilla tactics employed by the insurgents.
Is apt TO cause embarrassment to the Turk
ish Government, even in the absence of
serious engagements, as the Ottoman
Government has already massed over $50 900
troops In the disturbed district, which will
prove quite strain on the already depleted
treasury

For the third time within a week we
make the opportunity the occasion for call
ing attention to the signs Of improvement
In the relations Of capital and labor. One
that is in advance of any yet noted is this
article taken from a trade union paper,
the Railroad Employee. disclosing not a
trace Of disagreement with THE Sun upon
the question under considerations:
II Is time that reputable and responsible labor
organizations disavow and denounce the spirit OF
bngandage which evidently actuates many local
bodies which have been prominent in the public
mind OF late Agreements are made only TO be
broken. no guarantee Is good over night no promise
worth the breath used to mako II: no compact OF
tho value of grain Of sand. All that builder and
contractor can tell Is what TO days labor will cost,
and even then he cannot tell an hour ahead II his
men will complete the days work. Noon may see
every man jack OF them idle. and for . cause they
do not know. and care less.
What spectacle to see one labor union lighting
another. leaving all work al standstil in spite Of
definite and certain contract that nothing OF that
nature may be possible except under duo notice
and when reasonable grievances have not been
otherwise adjusted. 1t Is a shame.
We say II. and say 1t positively, labor organize.

employers, with stipulation OF colectible damages
In case of forfeiture. An employer is under con.
tract that he dare not b-eak let tho employee stand

A little wider spread Of ideas like this
throughout circles where they have been
steadfastly suppressed, largely because Of
the ruinous gush OF sympathy with sup
preston from outside Responsibility" and
the inseparable partnership Of labor and

the Rev. B. B. Bosworth The monthly
meeting on Wednesday night began early
and did not adjourn until midnight, Mean
while there was pretty hot time.
1t developed that six OF the most in
fuential members OF the church board
think the pastor ought to resign. One
woman observed that the Rev. Mr.. Bos-
worth cannot preach, while another de-
clared him to be the best preacher she had
ever heard. Finally, near midnight,
vote of confidence In the pastor was adopted
by small majority.
1t was said yesterday by members Of the
church board that Mr. Bosworths futuo
course could not be predicted
The church was formerly at Lexington
avenue and Twenty-third street and was
then known as the Twenty-third Street
Church; 1t moved to Washington Heights

We shall not attempt to define the
differences in doctrine and practice be-
tween these many divisions Of Presby-
terianism, but will merely say that gen.
orally they do not 60 to the essence Of
religion The greatest of the branches,
the Northern and Southern, are divided
by geographical line only, as il they
belonged to distinct countries. The
Cumberland Presbyterians, coming next
in the volume of membership on the
same day that the General Assembly
at Los Angeles approved the plan Of Dr.
VAN DYKE, appointed committee Of
nine to confer with other Presbyterian
bodies in regard to the desirability and
practicablity Of closer affilation and
organic union.

the Dutch Reformed, with membership
Of 37e, $40 is also branch Of the Presby-
terrain family. The Congregatonalists.

tion, Of course, but in doctrine the two
are 30 closely in accord that ministers Of
each often pass from pastorates in the
ono Church to the other. Into such q
union, or confederation, as is proposed,
the Lutherans, now numbering / 600, 28s
in their twenty-one different branches
in this country, might be brought, appro-
priately, for the difference Of doctrine
which once caused their separation has
become comparatively trivial in these
days OF loosening doctrinal conviction.
The trouble now is not due to the OBJ
stinacy of people in their special religious
beliefs so much as to their tendency to
fall away from all religious belief.
If the Presbyterian family, or the de-
nominations of the Reformed faith, as
it is still denominated, could be brought
together it would mako a consolidated
body Of imposing numerical proportions,
as our statistics OF the membership of
the many different branches bear wit
ness, and would tend to strengthen the
cause OF Professionalism, now so rudely
attacked.
The plan of union proposed omits, how
ever, the one great consolidation which
ought to be made. 1t is reflection on
American Christianity that powerful
Churches like the Baptist, the Methodist
and the Presbyterian should be divided
into Northern and Southern Churches at
a time when every good reason for the
separation has been removed. They
ought to come together as brethren in
religion and as patriotic citizens of a
common country.
