Before the discovery Of the Guatema-

This conclusion had been reached after
extensive Investigations and expert

suggested remedy had been tried-and
found wanting; every poisonous spray,
warranted to destroy. had been tested
and the weevil thrived and multiplied.

New York Sun Special Service.
Denver, Nov. 26.--All that stands be-
tween Governor Peabody and two years
more in office is public sentiment and
his own conscience. If he can arrange
satisfactorily with those two factors
nothing can prevent him from succeed
ing himself. Alva Adams and his adj
visers realize they are completely at
the mercy of the republicans.
It is the intention Of the Peabody
men to make the democrats prove they
were elected rather than to undertake g
to prove they were not elected. Follow.
ing out this policy minority reports
have been filed with the state canvass
ing board. 9s..
owe intend to throw out every pre-
cinct where there is any fraud, said
republican leader.
Many democrats believe that Adams
will not get the governorship and that
the republicans will control the state
legislature. Democrats say the republi-
can policy is nothing less than revolu-
tionary, yet they do not assert that they
have any remedy.
The democrats have 100 affidavits
charging at least twoscore republicans
with stealing the election in the resi-
dence wards They cannot take the
cases to the supreme court, however,
for they have steadfastly denied the
jurisdiction Of that bench in the cleo
tion cases.

puhlicans to copy the names from the

COMPANY TO BOOM
SEEDLESS APPLE
Plan Formed to Propagate Horti-
cultural Curiosity in
Maryland.

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 26.-A seedless
apple company, Of Baltimore, incorpor-
ated to propagate and sell the seedless
apple in the state of Maryland, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia, held meeting
last week.
The seedless apple was discovered. by
J. F. Spencer, Of Grand Junction, Col,
some years ago; Applying Apply qeot the general sa,
lowed in the case Of the seedless orange,
Mr.. Spencer succeeded in getting five
appletrees that bore fruit practically
without seeds.
From these he began budding and
grating to induce them to reproduce
themselves. For twelve years he Ia
dreams or achievements. Not until he
was certain that his efforts were re-
Warded by success did he announce his
idea. .s%%Ss
Now an orchard Of fifty-five trees
yields annually large, red, fne-dayored
apples having no seeds in them. Some
Of these ,seedless trees that interlock
containing seeds, but they are placed
hit or miss in the fruit, seldom near the
core, but sometimes within an eighth Of
an inch Of the surface. It is only where
the pollen of the ordinary tree has in
aueneed the seedless crop that seeds are
found: ,ss-.2 -.'.... = E:@5.!
No blossom is visible at any time on
the seedless appletree. There is a small
quantity Of pollen, probably not over
one-twentieth Of the amount that there
is on the common appletree Blossom. A
green bud appears on the seedless tree,
which much resembles the bud on sthe
common appletree after the flower is
removed; but on the seedless tree There
appears only the bud. &
A cavity is observed at one end, SINH
lar to that on the navel orange of ff-
teen years ago. The end of the apple
is almost an exact reproduction of the
navel orange as it was at it's earlier
stage. Now the orange has almost en-.
tire1y filed the former cavity at the
navel end. ~ l..es...s:
These seedless apples grow as large
as the ordinary winter apple and CON

the latest varieties to mature in Colo.
