UPTON FOOLS ENGLISH
SELLS THEM CHICAGO HORSES
 AND PIGS.
Pretends to the dullible Britishers That They are Getting Irish
 Jumpers and Emerald
 2, Isle Bacon.

Washington. Jan. ls.-Although the Uni ted States is deficient in creating new breeds of animals, according to Secretary Wilson, who outlined the policy of the Department of Agriculture to the House Committee on Agriculture today, Sir Thomas Lpton buys horses and pigs at Chicago. The horses, said the Secretary, he ships to Ireland and trains them as jumpers, then sells them in Great Brit ain to ''ten stone Englishmen'' as Irish jumpers. The pigs. of which he selects the thin ones, he cans as Irish bacon" which he also sells in England.
 Secretary Wilson believes that the Uni- ted States can furnish the mounts for the cavalry of Europe with proper study Of the breeding of horses and the department is turning its attention to this subject at the present time. The only thing the | United States has ever produced in the | way of new breeds, he says. is perhaps a I few breeds of hens, although we have converted a running horse into a trotter. Many other statements of unusual in- terest were made to the Committee by
 the Secretary. Discussing the problem of
 irrigation, he said the experts of his de- partment were studying the problem of
 how to handle the soil 50 as to conserve the water available. In. this connection | he mentioned the sugar beet. crop which,
 he said, was steadily on the increase. The forests of the country, the Secre- tary declared to be disappearing at, an
 alarming rate. He asked for an increase
 of $t00o00 additional for the bureau of | forestry, declaring thi sto be. the time to inaugurate the new methods in forestry. Touching on the statistical work of his department, the Secretary refuted vigor- | ousIy the idea that there was or could be a "leak" regarding crop congratulations. He told the Committee that he had lnvit-
 ed the New York cotton exchange to send a man to hin and he would appoint hin, on the stan of the bureau so that he
 might learn the methods employed. The
 man was sent. but the Secretary declared
 him, to be incapable of grasping the sys-
 tenn. Mir. Wilson invited the Committee
 to visit the bureau. telling the members
 that he would lock thern in the room with
 the statistician when he results were be-
 ing tabulased 50 they might observe: the
 whole process.
 The object of the bureau was to furnish
 the producer reliable information regard
 ing the state of the crops of the country,
 This has been done in the past to a re-
 markable degree of accuracy and he be-
 lieved the statistics of this year would
 prove nearly as correct.

McClenny, Fla. Jan. 16.-A passenger train eastbound on the Seaboard Air Line was held up one mile east of Sanderson tonight by four white men.

 President Roosevelt and his friends. along with the public, do not accept hs nay, nay Pauline as anything more than the coquetry of willing politician.
 The Ohio Senator may ever so serious ly proclaim self-elimination but no coy maiden ever so tantalized and aggravated the passion of a wooer.
 They are pointing out that while he mas just said he has written 1000 letters de- nying he was a candidate and that he does not wish to be considered as such, he has not just said, nor at any time said. he would decline a nomination. This sort of thing, together with the mutter- ings of sedition which come from Ohio, New York and Indiana to the ears of the administration, is pestering MT. Roosevelt seriously.
