MARBLE WORK DELAYED
BY ALTIMORE STRIKE
Local Employees Must Await Orders
From Union.

No settlement has been effected in
the sympathetic strike of marble work
ers employed at the new building OF the
Home Savings Bank. Seventh Street and
Massachusetts Avenue northwest. There
is little prospect that the structure viii
be ready for occupancy earlier than ten
days hence. IN view of the stringent
laws of the union. the strikers Will not
be permitted to resume work until the
difficulties in Baltimore have ended.
The local marble cutters went out
about three weeks ago because their
feIlow-laborers IN the Monumental City
declared a strike. The new bank had
been nearly completed, and only a few
days work remained.
The officials of the bank had origin
ally planned to take possession OF the
building not later than October 1. and
say they have been Inconvenience by
the delay.

PENNSYLVANIA TRAINS
TIED UP AT TRENTON

TRENTON. ". J., Oct. 1O.-Trenton
has suffered by the unprecedented flood
OF yesterday and last night The Della
ware River and its local tributaries are
far out OF their banks Many streets are
flooded.
The Pennsylvania Railroad stations
here were flooded all night and trains
were held up for hours. Many Pennsyl-
vania trains between New York and
Philadelphia were run over the Reading
tracks. The trolley system was stalled
all the morning as the water reached
the powerhouse and put out the fires.
The Pennsylvania is now running
trains from this city 10 New York but
not to Philadelphia. 1t is believed that
traffic may be resumed this afternoon.

TRYING TO GET BOODLER
into THE LAWS NET
St Louis District Attorney Confers
With Arctic Explorer Baldwin.

Evelyn Baldwin. the arctic explorer,
and Joseph w. Folk, the ST. Louis dis
trict attorney, who has convicted so
many Missouri boodlers, had a long
conference yesterday concerning Daniel
J. Kelly. one of the alleged boodlers
whom Mr.. Folk hopes TO have brought
back to the United States under new ex-
tradition treaties which Secretary Hay
has promised to negotiate with Great
Britain and other powers
Mr.. Baldwin lived at the same hotel
in New York with Kelly. and IVES we'll
acquainted with him before the Mis-
souri, exposures which caused Kelly to
leave the United States. 1t is likely Mr.
Baldwin will be called to ST. Louis to
testify concerning Kelly's movements in
New York and his plans, which are
supposed to have been directed by the
baking powder trust
Kelly had an alleged health associa-
ton, with headquarters in New York.
The ayowed purpose of this organization
was to protect the public against i'm
pure foods, notably baking powders. He
had branch associations in many States.
For several years he had headquarters
at Jefferson City. Mo, during the ses-
sions OF the Legislature
Although his work was supposed to
be in the interest of the public, il was
found that the bills framed by him were
drawn with the express purpose OF
favoring the products of the baking
powder trust. and in obtaining the pas
sage Of such laws in Missouri he ran
amuck and his whole scheme was ex-
posed.
Although Secretary Hay has not yet
sent instructions to Ambassador Choate
and other representatives of the United
States TO open negotiations for amend
ments to the extradition treaties which
will make it possible to gain possession
of all boodlers. he will do so in a short
time. The changes will be such thai
they will cover the cases OF the st
Louis fugitives. in whom Mr.. Folk is Sc
much interested.

absolutely no selling pressure traders
bid up prices at small fractions in a
desultory fashion. The only movement
was an advance of III in Chicago and

at the Patent Office may be left in the
application room. No. 239. and from that
point will be distributed to the various
divisions and examiners to which they
pertain. Much annoyance has been
caused the Patent ONCE by the habit
which clerks for attorneys have con
tracted of entering the Interior Depart
ment and throwing down on the tables
OF the first room they enter any papers
that may be destined for the office The
consequence was that the examiners

well to hold its own. In the meantime

mainly local. The fundamental condi-

Forejon Corn Varieties.

w. H. DIN, of the Iowa Agricultural
college, has begun some very interest
ing experiments with corn. He con-
ceived the idea of getting corn from
all parts Of the world where corn is
grown, and attempting to grow 1t in
Iowa. Some of the varieties that re-
auire q longer season than that found
in Iowa he will start in pots In the
house and afterward transplant to the
open ground. in the hope Of getting
the seed matured before frost. Mr..
Olin has been quite successful in &c
curing new and interesting varieties.
Some of these differ from our own
enormously. The kernels Of some va
rieties are very pretty. bearing little
resemblance to the varieties usually
grown In this country. Among the
countries from which he has received
seed are Mexico, Peru, Chile. Brazil
and Russia. He is expecting cOnsign-
ments from several other countries.
The introduction Of these varieties
NAV result in very valuable discov-
cries. These varieties differ 20 great
" from our own that II Is only rea-
sonable to suppose that they have
been grown under very different con-
ditions from our own as to soil, eli.
mate and moisture supply. So they
NAV he able to do well In locations
where our American varieties fail.

The Ohio Station has been for sew
eral years conducting experiments
with oats, one of the objects being to
ascertain the amount Of seed most
profitable to use on an acre. In for
mer test running over five years, six
pecks were found to give . better
yield than either more or less seed.
These tests were conducted on the
warm, gravelly Soils" except one
year. The second series Of tests be-
gan In 1898 and lasted I'VE years, and
the amounts of seed varied from four
to eleven pecks per acre. The varie-
ties of oats used were the Seizure and
the Wideawake. Taking into cOnsid'
GRAFTON the iive-year average, the Seiz-
ure variety gives its highest yield Of
grain from eleven pecks, exceeding.
however, the yield from nine pecks
by less than one bushel. The weight
per measured bushel is highest from
the ten-peck seeding. The yield ol
straw is largest from i've pecks. With
the Wideawake variety the highest
Weld Of grain is from the ten-peck
rate. the heaviest grain from nine
pecks and the largest yield Of straw
from four pecks. This seems to in
dicate that nine or ten pecks Of seed
is as satisfactory as more. and rather
better than less than this amount
This for Wayne county. Ohio. and sim
