SOME FINE CROPS.
W. r. Cushing Finds Some Excellent
Crops in His Trip for the st. Louis
Fair Commission.

w. 2. Cushing Finds Some Excellent
Crops in His Trip for the st. Louis
Fair Commission.
A letter from w. F. Cushing, who
is travelling through the southern part
of the state for the St. Louis fair com
mission, written from Lisbon, says:
Il secured some splendid samples
of white and yellow flint corn in En-
mons county, besides other fine vari-
eties. That the slope is away ahead
both as to quality and size of corn
and will more than hold her own in
quality of other crops with this east
ern section, though in this county and
in Sargent and Dickey the yields have
been phenomenal 53la bushels per
acre of macaroni wheat. which sells
at same price as No. l Northern, and
in several instances SO to AZ bushels
of fife and blue stem per acre. Fifty
bushels of corn per acre is the aver
age in southern Emmons county, not
so high here. Corn cribs and big hog
pens are seen on every farm in South
ois, and the cattle are stuffed full OF
corn and look in the pink OF condl-
ton Everybody here raises lots OF
macaroni wheat. the mills all grind 1t
| and the -four is used as freely as
fife wheat -four. The local miller told
me tonight he had today received an
order from the far east for three cars
of macaroni -four and that a good mar
ket was rapidly developing. The fact
that the New York grain exchange
has recently recognized macaroni
wheat and established grades for it
and announcement that in the last
year ten million bushels of this wheat
had been exported to France has
greatly elated it's champions here.
The character of the soil in Ransom
county is not very dlnerent from tnaL
of the Slope, and if over so bushels
per acre can be raised here-as was
the case in many instances this year
i don't see why it is not just the
grain Slope farmers are looking for.
The big yields, find, all come from
carefully selected seed 1t is not the
little stuff | have seen sown on the
slope for macaroni wheat, but great
big plump berries nearly as large as
coffee beans. Such seed as this costs
! ST 80 a bushel and it seems worth it.

NEW CONSULS
WILL BE MEN
OF TRAINING
President Decides
On Significant
Reform.

OYSTER BAY, L. l., Sept. Am i'm
portant change of policy with respect to
the making Of appointments in the Con-
sular service has been decided upon by
President Roosevelt. He discussed the
change to-day with Assistant Secretary
Loomis.
For many years it has been practically
the uniform custom of Presidents to ap-
point men to positions in the Consular
service substantially without reference to
whatever previous experience they may
have had. Quite naturally, the President
endeavored always to select for appoint
ment men of integrity and ability. but
experience was not a determining factor
in the equation.
President Roosevelt. after consultation
with Secretary Hay, Assistant Secretary
Of State Loomis and members of his Cab
met Immediately identified with the State
Department, has determined to appoint
hereafter to important places in the Con-
sular service men who already are in the
service and have had experience and
training in minor positions which will
render them the more capable of filling
places of higher grade and greater i'm
portance.
The change in policy does not extend
the civil service to the Consular service
and it does not extend, necessarily, a Con-
suls tenure of office at any particular
place; but, it is pointed out it does give
reasonable assurance to the manufactur-
ing and commercial interests of the
United States, which particularly are in
terested in the extension of the countrys S
trade, that in a comparatively brief time
all important Consular positions will be
filled by men of not only character and
ability, but with men who, by training and
experience, are especially qualified to ad-
vance the trade interests of the United
States
Mr.. Loomis discussed with the Presi-
dent several appointments in the service
that are to be made soon. 1t is under
stood that all the appointees will be men
who are now filling places of lesser i'm
portance in the service. They are to be
promoted and, in turn, their places will
be filled with men who have not had the
experience they have had.

ANGERED At
HAYS NOTE
Threat Which Led
to Treaty Defeat
Is Out.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-'The United
States may be forced to take action which
would be a source of regret to all true
friends of Colombia"
Such is the implied threat contained in
Hays note, transmitted to Minister
Beaupre at Bogota, which set the Colom-
bians frantic with anger, and led, it is
claimed, to the defeat of the canal treaty.
The action implied was contingent upon
Colombia's refusal to ratify the treaty
unamended.
Minister Beaupre presented this mes
sage and the wrath of the Colombian
officials was centered upon HIM. The
State Department was content to allow
him to become the target for the shafts
of the irate Colombians until the author
ship of the message was traced direct to
the department Now officials here are
standing by Beaupre and asserting he is
performing his duty satisfactorily.
Herran, twice taken to task by the de-
partment for his radical utterances re-
garding the manner in which The depart
ment has been conducting the negotia-
tions, is becoming disgusted. He has
given up all hope that the treaty will
survive and it is possible before the end
is reached he will make public a full
report of the negotiations.
Meantime the rebel sentiment in the
isthmus in favor of setting I'D an inde-
pendent state embracing the Panama
canal territory grows apace, according to
the latest dispatches.

both the State and Navy departments
will hold themselves in readiness to act
promptly if the Minister cables for as
sistance.
The officials do not anticipate that the
Sublime Porte will object to the transpor-
tation of marines through the Darda-
nelles to aid in the protection of Ameri-
can interests at ConstantinOple.
The significant statement was made by
a high official tonight that it was not
the policy of this Government to let any
convention or international custom stand
in the way of effectively protecting
American lives in time of an emergency,
and the State Department is not con-
cerned as to the method of transporting
marines to Constantinople in case the
