SPLIT ON BILL,

form Measures,


form Measures.
Washington, March 10.-Western
senators are hopeful that legislation
along the lines recommended in the
report of the Public Land Commits
sion, sent to congress yesterday, will
be enacted at the present session of
congress. The senate committee ex-
poets to take up the commissions re-
concentrations at it's meeting tomor-
rcw, and an effort will be made to Sc
cure a report on bill repeating the
timber and stone act, providing for
the sale of government timber, and
carrying out the recommendations re-
garding desert land and homestead
Communication laws.
Unfortunately there is division of
the committee on party lines, the
democrats, with the exception of Du-
bois, of Idaho, favoring the outright
repeal Of the timber and stone home
stead communication and desert land
acts, without the enactment of other
laws to take their place. Bard, of
California, and Dietrich, of Nebraska,
are now with the democrats. All
other republicans, except Nelson,
favor legislation similar to that re-
commended by the commission. This
leaves the committee standing seven
members for absolute repeal, six sup
porting the commissions recommend

ton absent

Use Wood Ashes Profitab1x.

oo0 "OoO A0ne0 FFont001ys
While there is no reason why wood
ashes cannot be used on many Of the
farm crops raised, provided they are
carefully used, the best results come
from their use on hay lands Here they
may be freely used and will invariably
give good results. The writer has used
them to advantage in potato growing
and in corn. on rather sandy soil well
filed with humus or vegetable matter;
but dissolved South Carolina rock was
always used to mix with the ashes,
and the combination was used as q
dressing, not dropping out, the usual
fertilizers applied during the prepara-
ton of the seed bed.
In using wood ashes on meadows,
one must be sure that they are dry, un-
leached ashes, or their potash content,
their main value, will be small, hence
the application will fail to produce
satisfactory results. and the expense
will be heavy. It is a good plan to
submit samples of wood ashes to the
experiment station Of your State for
examination before going into them
very heavy.

SECRETS FOR SALE.

French Officer Offers Japan Important
Naval Information.
Paris, March 12.-In spite of ofic-
ial reticence and denials from the Jap
anese legation here, it is affirmed that
a noncommissioned officer named Mar
tin, who was employed in the ministry
of marine, and who is now under ar
rest, attempted to sell French naval Sc
crets to a naval attache at the Japanese
legation.
The discovery of this alleged at
tempt came as result of the acciden-
tai opening of q letter addressed to the
noncommissioned officer by a naval
captain of the same name. The letter
was from an intermediary, but it indi-
Gated the principals in the affair. 1t
is alleged that several women are i'm
plicated, and one of them has con-
fessed.
1t appears now that only one docu-
ment is missing from the ministry of
marine, but it is possible that Martin
photographed and replaced others. 1t
is not probable that the information
alleged to have been stolen got beyond
the intermediary, and it is said the
Japanese naval attache, who is sup
posed to have been in indirect commu-
nication with Martin, sailed for home
on board one of the cruisers which Jap
an purchased from Argentina.

IDAHO TO BIB SWIFT.
New Battleship Will Also Be Great Fight
ing Machine.

Washington, March 14.-Unless un-
foreseen obstacles are encountered, the
battleship Idaho will become part OF
the United States navy early in the
spring of 1907. Under the terms of a
contract recently made with the Cramp
shipbuilding company, of Philadel-
phia, the Idaho and her sister ship,
the Mississippi, are to be constructed
at their yard at an aggl egate cost OF
$2,999, 500, the contract period being
AZ months. Plans for these ships
have been completed and turned over
to the contracting firm, and already
steps have been taken locking to the
construction of the two vessels.
The navy department has embodied
in the Idaho the most modern ideas In
naval architecture. While not as
great as some of the vessels in modern
navies, the Idaho is designed to be an
all-around machine, not only capable
of withstanding an attack from the en-
emy, but of being able to engage OF
give chase to the enemy if need be.
In other words, the Idaho embodies
the best features of the modern battle
ship and cruiser combined.

WAR COST NOT A DEAD LOSS.
Russia Figures That Most Of the

Russia Figures That Most Of the
Money Will Go to Her People.
Paris, March "a st. Petersburg
dispatch gives an interview with M.
Kokovzev, to whom has been intrusted
the raising of funds required for the
conducting of the war.
Even on the most unfavorable n.y.
pothesis," he says, ''the vital forces of
the empire cannot be effected. The
expenditure must not be looked upon
from a European viewpoint, or COM
pared, for example, with the South
African struggle. Would Russia have
to spend, for example, 100000, 900
francs for the purchase of horses out
side of her domains? Hardly. At the
maximum she will expend but IL, ,000,-
900 francs, and this will be exclusive
ly expended in Russia. The cost of
the transport of the troops, and sup
plies, also, will be paid over to the
state railway.
"In a general way, it can be stated
that the money expended from the ma
tional treasury will not be the dead
loss that the cost Of the Transvaa1 war
was to Great Britain. Most of it will u[
timately benefit the Russian mer-
chants and manufacturers. 1t would
be a gross exaggeration to suppose
that the war will entail gross ex-
penditure on Russia of one-quarter of
the total of the cost of the war in
South Africa to the British govern
ment"

READY FOR WAR IN BALKANS
Russia, However. Does Not Expect al
Outbreak In the Spring.

Outbreak In the Spring.
st. Petersburg, March 11.-Careful
inquiry concerning the outlook in the
Balkans develps the fact that the pre-
vailing opinion in government, as we'll
as diplomatic circles, is against an out
break OF war in the spring, although
the danger is not considered passed.
A perfect understanding exists between
Russia and Austria. and besides, the
Russian authorities appear to be satis-
fed completely regarding the attitude
of Bulgaria. What assurances the
authorities have concerning Bulgaria
are not known, but they do not tally
with direct information from other
sources, representing Bulgaria as hav-
ing her army under mobilization, with
having her plans perfected for an in
vasion of Turkey, and as being conf
dent that she can defeat the Turks sim
gle handed.
Evidently the porte is alarmed at
the outlook, as an American, repre-
sentative of an ordnance firm, who
came here to act as a broker in the
sale of South American warships to
Russia, has been requested to go to
Constantinople Immediately, the sultan
desiring to purchase large supply of
guns.

NEW RIOT FEARED
MORE TROOPS HAVE BEEN ORDERED
TO SPRINGFIELD.
Saloons Closed and Many Other Lines
of Business Practically Suspended
Negroes Keep Off the Streets-One
Who Ventures Out After Dark Is
Fired Upon-Martial Law Exists.

Springfield, O., March 1.-THE stu
alton tonight was considered by the
authorities to be more threatening
than at any time since the beginning
of the present race troubles. The only
outbreak up to midnight, however, oc-
Cured at IL o'clock in Short Winter
street. Five shots aimed at colored
man were the occasion of three COM
panies of militia being dispatched to
the scene of the distur bance. By the
time the militiamen arrived the police
had restored order, and the colored oe-
cupants of several houses were ordered
indoors.
While Governor Herrick has not pro
claimed state of martial law, such a
condition practically exists in the
downtown formerly occupied by the
negro resorts. Ten companies of the
Ohio National Guard are on picket
duty, and seven more companies are
expected here before morning. The
saloons, without exception, are closed
and many other lines of business have
practically ceased. Mayor Bowlus has
not only closed the remaining negro sa-

are under the ban of the mob, but has
ordered the proprietors in every in
stance to move out all the intoxicating
drinks, and in some instances even the
fixtures, including gambling apparatus.
While there are Is, 900 negroes in this
city, none was seen anywhere tonight.
The body of Dixon, the negro, was pri
vately inferred here tonight in Fern
cliffe cemetery. The order for saloons
to remain closed is observed. but no at
tention is paid to the mayors procla-
nation for people to keep off the
streets, which was issued at noon.
The mob has at no time shown dis
position to burn property other than
that on the levee. The loss from last
nights fire is between SIS, 900 and
500, 900.
The troops this afternoon, in dis
persing crowd, discovered a quantity
of dynamite that was intended for
blowing up the remaining negro dives.

Toxic Is Sure Port Arthur Is Once More
Under Fire.

London, March 11.-Special advises
from Toxic state that there is little
doubt that the bombardment of Port
Arthur was resumed today, but at the
war Office all information ON the sub.
ject is refused. Persistent rumors to
this effect are in circulation, however,
in quarters where there should be a
knowledge of the truth or falsity of the
report, and as no effort is being made
to deny it, the presumption is it is
we'll founded.
Corea continues, according to the latest
advises received at the war office. II
is probable that serious clash will
soon take place in that locality.
The mission of Marquis Ito to Corea,
it is emphatically stated, will not be
of an administrative nature, but rather
a strong expression of the relations the
mikado desires to establish with Corea.
From Tien Tsin advises are sent that
ese have succeeded in surprising the

ments at Fung Wang Chang, and COM

sition planned. The Japanese army

intrenched. An engagement is immi-
nent at the latter place, and if the jap
anese are successful the line of commu-
nication with Port Arthur will be cut,
endangering the safety of the fortress,
while Niu Chwang and it's port, Yin

ALL EYES ON IT.
Russian vladivostok Squadron Must
Soon Be Located.


Soon Be Located.
Toxic, March 10.-It is believed
here that there has already been a
decisive naval engagement in the
vicinity Of Vladivostok, and details Of
it are anxiously awaited. The Japan
ese feet did not, it is said, go to Vlad-
ivostok for the purpose of lombard
ing the town, but to locate and at
tack the Russian fleet stationed there.
1t is understood here that when the
Japanese feet arrived there on Sun
day last, it found the Russian squad
ron absent. If this is true, it gave
the Japanese squadron advantage in
the way of avoiding battle close to the
inshore batteries, at the same time
putting 1t in position to prevent the
Russian ships re-entering the harbor.
It is doubted that the Japanese with
drew their entire squadron unless the
location of the enemy had been dis
covered, as it meant surrendering the
advantage of being in position be-
tween the enemy and the enemy's
base.
There is strong possibility that
the Japanese found the Russian ships
in the vicinity of Possiet Bay, and
gave them battle there. The names
and numbers of ships in the Japanese
squadron have been kept secret, but
it was probably sufficiently strong to
divide into two divisions, the one to
guard Vladivostok, and the other to
cruise in search Of the Russian ships.
The navy department expects to
receive dispatches tomorrow from
Gen San, where it has planned the
feet would call after the operation in
volving an attack upon the Russian
squadron had been concluded.

Some Winter Work.

Among the "odd jobs that can be
done in winter the Southern Planter
gives the following:
pastures, fence rows and borders of
streams may be cleared Of bush
growth. Muck can be dug and left
on the edge Of the swamp to dry and
weather. Do repairing, shingling and
painting when weather permits. Study
convenience in the barn and set up car
riers for hay, manure and silage, and
chutes for hay and grain. Make rat
tight grain bins if needed. Have plen-
ty Of forks, shovels, measures, brooms,
brushes, currycombs, ETC., for barn
use, and good place to keep them.
Put the harnesses in good order; re-
pair and sharpen tools; sort winter
fruit; draw off and mix cider to hasten
vinegar making; study farm papers
and books, and plan better system
for the farm operations"

FIGHT FOE ON SEA
RUSSIANS SINK A JAPANESE TOR.
PED0 BOAT.
Both Sides Suffer an Equal Loss-Rus-
slams Came Upon japanese Uuexpect-
edIy In the Night While Out Scout
ing-Russian Admiral Shows Great
bravery In an Attempt at Rescue.

st. Petersburg, March 14.-The COM
plete story Of the fierce fight off Port
Arthur between torpedo fotillas, which
occurred Wednesday, and the bonn
bardment which followed Thursday
morning, was not given out here until
after midnight.
Two official messages from Viceroy
Alexieff had been received during the
day and presented to the emperor, but
the public remained in suspense. All
sorts of rumors of the information con-
tained in the dispatches were spread
among the officials, but they did not
have their texts, and were under the
impression that Admiral MakaroH had
directed the attack upon the enemy's
ships. When the texts appeared, it
became evident the collisions between
the torpedo f1otillas had occurred acci-
dentally during the night while the
Russians were scouting IN search OF the
enemy.
As far as known here, this is the first
time the torpedo boats have engaged
each other at sea. Although the odds
were against the Russians, as the
squadron was supported by the cruisers
of the enemy, the Russians made he
roic dash for the foe, and apparently
had the better of the combat-sinking
a Japanese torpedo boat-until the
cruisers got within range and one OF
the latter q shells crippled the stere-
guschtchi.
The gallant action of Vice Admiral
Makaroff in transferring his flag to
the cruiser Novik, and sailing out in
the face of the enemy in an attempt
at rescue, receives unstinted praise,
stamping him at the outset of his COM
mand as man of force and action,
who insists on being in the van OF the
fighting.
