 cLEvELAND, O., sept. 2s:-AIr. e. K. c. Billings, owner of Lou Dillon, the trotting mare, has announced that positively she will not be allowed to go into a contest with another horse nj a trial for supremacy. MT.

The mare will be shipped with the other members of the Billings string to Lexington, Ky, Wednesday, where She has two engagements. After the Lexington meeting Lou Dillon will be shipped to Memphis, Tenn, where she is scheduled to go against the worlds trotting record, a trial against time, which will probably be her last for this season.

Free Nitrogen as Fertilizer.

Berlin Telegram: AT the opening Of the
international chemical congress here to-
day Professor Clarke responded for the
United States.
Professor Frank, of Charlottenburg,
read q paper on the utilization of the free
nitrogen in the atmosphere for agricul-
ture lie described the process by which
he discovered the making of a fertilizer
from atmospheric nitrogen. The process
consists of using electrically produced
carbides for converting nitrogen into
amde and cyanide combinations, Which
are then used with the raw material Of
various fertilizing salts.
Professor Frank calls the finished prod
net calcareous nitrogen. Several scientific
agriculturists have been experimenting
with 1t for two or three years and are
finding the fertilizer nearly equal to nj
trate of soda and sulphate Of ammonia
as plant food.
In the discussion which followed the
reading of Professor Franks paper. the
speakers recognized the Importance of the
discovery. but some raised doubts as 10
the cost of producing the fertilizer. Pro
fessor Frank replied that he had assured
himself on that point.

IRISH THREAT FOR BALFOUR,
Government Warned That Is Must
Deal Fairly OH Land Bill.

london June G.--On the resumption OF
the debate on the Irish land bill in the
house Of commons today the amendment
Of John Redmond, the Irish leader. which
seeks to abolish the minimum price at
which the landlord may sell, even though
the landlord and tensnt might agree on
a lower price, was discussed.
Chief Irish Secretary Wyndham de-
clared that he considered that limits on
bargains were essential precautions. lie
was unable to accept Mr.. Redmond's
proposal to raise the minimum reduction.
Mr. Redmond expressed regret at Mr..
Wvndham's decision and said that if the
amendment was not accepted by the gov
eminent he was afraid they had arrived
at the parting OF the ways The nation
alists must stand by the amendment and
there must be time taken for the con-
sideration OF this point by the govern
ment, otherwise % Of the Irish members
would be found in the lobby against the
government. Irish opinion was united
and il no concession was made 1t would
be impossible for the Irish members
TO report the bill as acceptable to the
Irish people.
Timothy Healy. nationalist suggested
that the government might get out of
the ENHANCEMENT by beStoWing largest
discretionary powers on the estate com
lnissioners.
John Morley, liberal, who said he fear
ed the bill was IN great peril, complained
Of Nj Wyndham's attitude He said the
English and Scotch members would only
support the bill long as it was ac-
ceptable to all the Irish representatives.
MIR. WYndham said he realized the
gravity of the situation. but the mini
mum reductions must remain 10 and 20
per cent respectively. He was ready to
consider an amendment affecting non
judicial teuancies.
Mr. Redmond retorted that this was
no concession whatever. as the bulk Of
the tenants were judicial tenants.
