OvERTURN THE WHITEWASH.,
Convention of Baptists Refuses to En-

North Bend, Ind, June 9. - Gre
solved, that we express ourselvs against
the present tendency to criticise the
great Baptist brotherhood in the.person
OF one of its most active members, and
this in the face of the fact that there is
no evidence to prove Mr.. Rockefeller
is or ever has been either directly or
indirectly connected with conduct that
is out of line with the highest moral
ity."
This resolution caused a storm of
protests today at the convention of the
Northern Indiana Baptists' association.
1t was voted down after vigorous COM
ment, both in defense of it and in OBJ
position to it.
The defense of John D. Rockefeller
was drawn by Rev. Mr.. Wheeler, of
Elkhart, who introduced it and made a
speech in defense of it. Rev. Mr.. Ian
kin, of Mishawaka, also defended it.
The protests were started by Rev. G.
R. Parker, of Laporte, who, among
other things, said:
"Rotten things should be dealt with
in the most rigid way"

TERMS OF PEACE.
Russia Has Asked What the Japanese
Government Wants.

Washington, June 8. = Preliminary
peace negotiations between Russia and
Japan are generally believed to be un-
der way, and it is conceded that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will in all probability
act, not as mediator, but as "the
friendly channel of communication.
There is as yet no official admission
that Russia has accepted what Count
Cassini in his cablegram to Count
Lamsdorff last week described as "the
offer of good will of the president" al
though instructions to the ambassador
are believed to have reached here to-
night in a long cablegram which was re-
ceived at the Russian embassy quite
late and was laid before the ambassador
just before he retired.
Immediately after his return from a
long conference with the president, Mr.
Takahira, the Japanese minister, began
the preparation of dispatch to his
government, upon which he was occu-
pied until quite late. For the first
time since the annihilation of the Rus
sian feet the minister did not feel at
liberty to comment on any phase of the
situation.

Best Horse to Raise,

There is no doubt that the best horse
for the farmer to raise is the draft
horse. 1ne farmer needs sometimes
to raise roadsters and driving horses;
but In the main the draft leads all 9TH
ers. The demand Is not so much for
an improved kind Of horse as for a
f1rst-class animal Of the kinds we now
have. The draft horse can be raised
with little expense to the farmer, and
he begins to pay his way before the
time comes to market him. The draft
colt works in easily with the general
work of the farm. The farmer may
find 1t difficult to sell a light harness
horse for carriage purposes, but he
never has trouble in selling a first
class draft horse. In any event it
should be remembered that it requires
no more labor to care for a good draft
horse than for poor one. The horse
of quality will consume no more feed
than the other, but the margin between
cost and selling price is very much
greater in the case Of the good horse
than between the cost and selling price
of the inferior horse.

Christiana, Norway, June s.-"Nor.
way from today is fully Independent
and sovereign state.''
This is the text of the editorials in
the Norwegian newspapers and it re.
fleets the spirit with which the people
of Norway accept today's action of the
Storthing when it proclaimed King
Oscar no longer king of Norway.
The Storthing will, if necessary, de-
fend the step taken today by force oi
arms.
If prince of the house of Bernadotte
should consent to occupy the throne OF
Norway he must give up all idea OF
succession to the Swedish throne.
M. Anctander will be Norway's first
foreign minister. He is now chief OF
the department of Commerce, Naviga-
tion and Industry.
It is learned that Crown Prince Gus
tav will return Immediately from Ber-
lin. 1t is understood that an extra
ordinary session of the Swedish Riksdaf
will be called June 26, if not earlier, as
the result of today's action of the Stor-
thing.
It is not anticipated that King Oscar
will consent to any prince of the house
of Bernadotte accepting the Norwegian
crown. Should the king refuse, there
is possibility that the throne may be
offered to Prince Waldemar, the third
son of King Christian, of Denmark.

thize with the Norwegian demands.
The consular bill, while apparently
of little Importance, was designed to
open the whole question of foreign
affairs, which Norway desires to man
age independently of Sweden.
One of the causes of the desire in
Sweden and Norway for separate con-
sular systems was the fact that Sweden
is for protection and Norway is for free
trade, and also because OF Norway's
more extensive sea trade and other di-
vergencies of commercial interests.

WORTHY OF GREAT EVENT,
Vice President Fairbanks Speaks in
Praise of Portland Fair.


Chicago, June T. Vice President
and Mrs. Fairbanks arrived in Chicago
today from Portland, Or, where the
vice president went to open the expo
sition. Tomorrow the vice president
will make an address at the laying of
the corner stone of the new Federal
building at Flint, Mich.
Mr.. Fairbanks was inspired by the
Portland exposition and he did not hes
itate to say SO.
"The exposition is in every way
worthy of the event it commentaries"
said the vice president. ''The people
of the coast took pride in the enter
prise from its inception, and they full
filled their ideals. The exposition has
a worthy setting. Nature aided the
builders, and the site and its surround
ings are of rare beauty. The buildings
are properly grouped for purposes of
the best effect and their artistic excel
lence cannot be denied. It seems to
me that the fair cannot fail of the sue
cess that it most certainly deserves.
We had delightful time in Portland.
The people of the west are charming
hosts"

The Silo

King gives the following statements
in regard to building stone silos, says
Hoard's Dairyman:
"The portion of the silo wall which
is below ground better be about two
feet thick and laid in cement rather
than lime, the cement being desirable
because lime mortar becomes hard so
very slowly in heavy walls, especially
below ground. After the wall is two
feet above ground good lime mortar
may be used, but In this case there
ought to be at least two months for
the wall to season and set before fill
ing. The upper portion of the silo wall
need not be heavier than eighteen
inches, and If the size of stone permits
Of it the outer surface Of the wall may
be drawn gradually to a thickness of
twelve inches at the top"

EIeHT-HoUR LAW ON CANAL.
Moody Holds 1t Applies to Laborers

Washington, June 1O.-The opinion

public today. He holds that the act of
August /, 1892, which limits and re-
stricts to eight hours the daily service
of laborers and mechanics employed by
the government of the United States or
by any contractor or sub-contractor
upon the public works OF the United
States, applies to the employment of
laborers and mechanics in the con-
'struction of the Panama canal.
That act, however, the attorney GEN

sion stationed on the Isthmus, or to
any of the employees of the government
who are not within the ordinary mean

ics." Also that the scope of the act is
not limited by the territorial jurisdic-
tion of congress.
In answer to the request of the secre-
tary of war for an opinion on the ad-

visions ct the act mentioned apply to

SUGGESTS DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS

fs Washington, June 10.-An identical
note, the text of which. by authority of
the president, was made public late to-

dent Roosevelt. In the interest of hu-
manity, the president urges the warning
nations to conclude peace. 1t Is sug-
gested by the president that the nego-
tiations for peace be conducted "direct-
ly and exclusively between the bellig-
rerent nations. The note indicates the
presidents belief that an Intermediary
may not be necessary to effect conclu-
ssive negotiations, but likewise expresses
the presidents willingness to do all that
he properly may do to promote the
preliminary arrangements for time
and place. for the meeting of represent
atives of the Russian and Japanese gov.

both Russia and Japan have assumed,
it is regarded in official and diplomatic

pecting cable dispatch to that effect
at any moment. The minister was able
yesterday to transmit to the president
a message from the mikado that Japan
was, with Russia, desirous of peace, pro-
vided it could be obtained under proper
conditions.
Aware of the preference of Japan to
communicate her peace terms to Rus
sia directly, the president in the last
few days has been active in counseling

Norway Has Decided on Revolution
AIRY Action.
Copenhagen, June The Chris.
tiania correspondent of the National
Tidenden says:
1t is the general opinion that e disso-
luton between Norway and Sweden is
now inevitable, but that it cannot occur
without removing or suspending the
existing Norwegian legal power.
Before the end of this week the Stor-
thing will have adopted resolutions
which, from the instant they come in
force, will mean the dethronement OF
the king.
The Norwegians maintain that the
king, by not revoking his veto given at
Stockholm of the law for separate con-
sular representation and partly by his
absence from Norway, has suspended
his rights and duties as king of Nor
way.
Under article 13 of the constitution
the storthing will install a responsible
government, which in the absence of
the king will govern in the kings
name.
Notifications of eventual changes in
the constitutional situation will prob
ably be given to the powers by special
mission. y

JAPAN READY FOR LONG WAR,

Oppressed People.

"'of oS "ediS VI IipeEdtinS RUSSIA
Oppressed People.
Toxic, June 7.-"If Russia prefers to
continue the war, Japan is willing to
meet the enemy's challenge" says the
Kokumin Shimbun, leading paper of
this city, commenting on Russia's ap-
parent stubbornness i'll admitting that
the time has arrived to arrange for end
ing hostilities. It declares that, did
the responsibility rest upon Japan to
decide. the question, the Japanese could
not afford to ignore the demands of
other countries for the cessation of hos
tilities, though based upon purely hu-
manitarian principles. As tie case
stands, however, says the Kokumin
Shimbun, it is the enemy who desires
the indefinite protraction of hostilities,
and nothing prevents Japan from shear
ing Russia of her military strength as
she has deprived her of her naval
power.
In this way it would be possible to
liberate the czar's stricken people, who
have long suffered from the oppression
OF the autccracy, to restore independ-
ence to the Poles and Firms, to estab-
llsh free state out of the remaining
portion of Russia and to bridge the
chasm dividing that country from the
powers. Japan, it adds, is ready for
any war program, whether for 20, 80
or 100 years.

Feeding of Bran to Poultry.

It Is certainly excellent for poultry
and one point in the favor of bran is
that 1t contains much larger proper
ton OF lime than any other cheap food
derived from grain, and, as the shells
OF eggs are composed OF lime, it is es-
sent1al that food rich in lime should
be provided, writes A. V. Meersch in
Western Poultry Journal. It may be
urged that the use Of oyster shells will
provide lime, but it will be found that
1t Is the lime in the food that is most
serviceable because it is in form that
can be better digested and assimilated
than carbonate of lime. Glover is GER
tainly also rich in lime, and when a
mash Of cut clover and bran is given
to the fowls they will need no oyster
shells or other mineral matter as a
source from which to provide lime for
the shells of eggs.

READY TO SELL TIMBER.
Government will Now Open Forest
Reserves to Loggers.

Government will Now Open Forest
Reserves to Loggers.
Washington, June Following out
its declared intention of developing
forest reserves by use, the bureau of
Forestry annonces, by special bulletin,
that mature timber in all forest re-
serves is to be offered for sale. The
restriction formerly laid upon the ex-
port of timber from the states in which
the forest reserves were located has
been removed, and the law now places
no Limitation on the shipment OF tim
Der grown on any forest reserve, except
those in the state of Idaho and the
Black Hills reserve, in South Dakota.
The effect of this change in the law,
and the declared policy of the depart
ment of Agriculture, is that the timber
on the reserves may now be cut and
disposed of to the highest bidder. On
many of the reserves there are great
quantities of mature timber, and on
some of them the facilities for getting
it out at reasonable cost are excellent.
The forest service, which has charge of
the administration of the reserves, is
a lxious to begin the cutting of this
mature timber as soon as possible, and
it is prepared to consider offers from
lumbermen who wish to undertake
such operations.
1t is perhaps well to call attention to
the fact that this announcement does
not mean that the forest reserves are
going to be devastated under authority
OF the government. On the contrary,
tt g distinct and definite purpose of the
forest service is to improve the re-
serves by utilizing the material that
is now fit for lumber. In doing go, it
will also provide for the reproduction
of the forest and the restocking of
those areas upon which forest condi-
tions are defective. Work of this kind
has been successfully carried on for
some years in the Black Hills forest
reserve, and has been begun with the
greatest promise of success on the lands
OF the Chippewa Indians, in Northern
Minnesota, from which it is proposed
to create another National reserve.
The public in general, and lumber
men in particular, will be interested
to know that in this last case the re-
strictions imposed by the forester have
in no way hampered the numbering
operations. Timber sold at public
sale, with full knowledge of these re-
strictions, brought higher prices than
were obtained for white and Norway
pine in the same region, and the slash
has been burned and got out of the
way at cost of about IL cents per l
600 feet board measurement.
The supervisor of each forest reserve
is authorized to receive applications for
the right to cut timber; intending pur-
chasers should communicate with him,
not with the department at Washing
ton.
