The Southern farmer has come
to app reciate the value of educa-
ton. This was clearly shown at
the annual meeting of the East
Tennessee Farmers Convention
recently held in Knoxville, where
over l 200 of the best farmers from
Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky,
Alabama, Georgia and the Carroll
mas assembled. While a number
of gentlemen of national reputa-
ton were present, they did not
have a monopoly of all the good
things, for rarely have better dis
cussions been heard from the far
mers. This is a healthy sign. Il
shows that the farmers are think
ing and reading and equipping
themselves to meet their difficult
problems

GERMANY'S POLICY.
Showing a Disposition to Withdraw
from European Concert and
Support the Sultan.

Paris, Feb. 1S.-It is said in official
quarters here that the Austrian am
bassador at Constantinople will pre-
sent note to the porte asking for re-
forms in Macedonia. This is regarded
as inaugurating the project for joint
action on the part of the European
powers toward Turkey. The presenta-
ton of the Russian note, which is iden-
teal, will follow that of Austria, but
the foreign Office here has not yet been
advised of the exact date of its pres
entation. The terms of notes were
submitted to France, Great Britain,
ltaly and Germany, and were approved
in principle by all except Germany.
This is regarded by the French officials
AS indica ting German divergence from
the European concert, and as a tend
ency to support Turkey. The notes,
while firm, do not contain a menace.
the present suggested administrative
and financial reforms not affecting the
political status. In explaining the pro-
ject an official said it was an aprlica-
ton Of 'Europe's Monroe doctrine,' -
which imposed "the same duties to main
tain peace in Europe as the United
States exercised in Cuba and South
America"

Attempted Murder.

Walter Trip, "a years of age, en-
ployed by the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber
company at Scanlon, sixteen miles
from Duluth, left his boarding place
with rife under his arm and pro-
ceeded directly to the residence of M.
s. Peterson, where lived Nellie Tan
ner, aged %, with whom Tripp had
been keeping company.
He knocked at the door and she re-
sponded. The family were at supper,
and there was little light in the front
part of the dwelling. Without word
Trip, after crossing the Threshold,
raised the gun and fired at the girl.
She screamed and ran toward the din
ing room. Trip aimed at the girl
again, but she lodged behind door.
Trip evidently had some compunc-
ton about shooting any others by
chance, and he lowered the gun. He
then, with disappointed but very de-
hberate air, whirled the gun around
so that the muzzle pointed at himself,
and, placing the muzzle at his fore
head, shot himself dead.
The shot which Trip fired at Miss
Tanner pierced her left hand, making
a painful but not serious wound.
Trips parents reside in Portland,
Oregon. Miss Tanner and Mrs. Peter
son are sisters.

CABINET MEETING.
Various State Matters Discussed, hut
Nothing of Importance
Is Done.

= Washington, Feb. 1s.-Assurance is
given that the meeting of the cabinet
Tuesday developed nothing of serious
Importance. All the members except
Secretary Shaw were present and the
two hours consumed by the session
were spent in an informal discussion
largely of departmental affairs.
Secretary Hay presented to the cab
met the text of the protocol which had
been signed on behalf of the United
States and Venezuela for the reference
OF the claims of this government
against the South American republic
to arbitra ton.
The status of the Panama canal
treaty in the senate again was dis
cussed. Some apprehension is ex-
pressed that the treaty may not be-
ratified at the present session owing
to the opposition of Senator Morgan.
The option the United States holds on
the Panama Canal company's property
will expire on March 4.
1t is impossible, even if the treaty
should be ratified blythe senate at this
session, to effect an exchange of rati-
fcations until after the expira ton Of
the option. It is proposed, however,
to enter into contract with the Pana-
ma Canal company by the terms of
which the amountagreed upon shall be
paid the company by this government
on the exchange of notifications be-
tween the United States and Colombia.
That arrangement, it is regarded, will
tide over the present emergency and
keep alive the option.
