& The Rock Islands special train which
is taking the farming experts from the
Kansas Agricultural College over it'
lines arrived in Dodge City Thursday
evening. The purpose of the Rock
Island road Is to encourage good farm
Ing along Its lines, because good farming
will insure greatly increased crops, end
that will make more business for the
roads. The action of the Rock Island is
very oommendable from every point of
view. Its enterprise In this line is Of a
nature that Is to be commended. The
company in trying to help the farmers
will make business for themselves,
and this method Of increasing business
while II benefits the railroad will benefit
the country still more.
1t seems difficult for professional
agriculturallsts to get their lectures in
just the right shape to do the most good.

length just how to cultivate the soil put

after.
Prof Willard in his lecture, while
dealing upon the conservation Of moisture
mentioned the Campbell experiments,
showing how for four years the moisture
had been held In the ground until the
earth was full Of water for several feet
below the surface, and his talk on this
subject will probably do more good than
the rest Of his lecture, II the farmers
would send representatives to thoroughly

Willards Talk.
From the point of view of the chemist
the production of crop Is a question of
a demand for certain quantities of chemical
elements and supplying that demand.
The substance entering into wheat crop
come partly from that unlimited source,
the air, and partly from the soil. The
necessary elements most likely to be diff
icient In any soil are nitrogen, potassium,
and calcium.
Experiments at Rothamsted, Eng, in
which wheat has been grown continuous
ly on the same land for sixty years, with
out manure and with certain manures
annually applied, show the dominant
position OF nitrogen IN wheat product
lon. A rich addition of mineral fertil-
izers increased the yield over that of the
unfertilzed plat only about two bushels
per acre, which nitrogenous fertilizer
alone increased the yield nearly eight
bushels. Nitrogen and mineral combin-
I'd gave an increse Of twenty bushels.
Nitrogen gets into soils naturally in
but two way: First by being carried
lown in the form Of compounds dissolv-
ID from the air by rain-wat These
originate in part by electrical discharges
which cause the oxygen and the nitrogen

MANILA PRODUCTS
FREE OF DUTY
Such is the Conclusion
of the Taft Party
Who
ARE NOW IN PHILIPPINES
Free Trade Proposed With
Island Empire in Sugar
and Tobacco.
ARE NOW IN PHILIPPINES
CONGRESS WILL CONSIDER 1T

Manila, Aug. 12.-Now that the
Taft party has been in the islands
over a week, the concensus of opinion
of the majority of it's members on the
free admission of the Philippine isl
and's products into the markets OF
the United States has been obtained.
1t can be stated without fear of con-
tradiction that the leaders of the op-
position to the policy of a reduction
in the Dingley tariff have convinced
themselves that sugar and tobacco
from the islands will in no wise men
ace like products of the United States.
1t can be stated upon no less au-
thority than that of Representative
c. II. Grosvenor, of Ohio, thai the
Cooper bill, which was favorably re-
ported by the house committee at the
last session of congress, will now be
amended, providing for free trade, in
stead of the proposed reduction of %
per cent on the prevailing Dingley
rates.
Mr.. Grosvenor says: "The amend
ment will be offered by Representative
S. E. Payne, of New York, chairman
of the committee on ways and means.
providing for the free admission of
Philippine products, and the outlook
for its passage is very favorable"

A Loss TO the CITY.

Thos. Hughes, who until recently

held since he was a small boy, begin
ming his work as newsboy, and ending
It as a machinist operator. Mr..
Hughes will leave the city, sometime
during the coming week, for Califor-
mia. where he expects TO make his
home for climatic reasons. His moth
er, who it ar the sick bed of a daugh-

Tom I'm a few weeks. The Citizen re-
grets to lose a young man so cOmpe-

mends him to all with whom he may
come into contact, and sincerely
hopes that his improved health may
soon enable him TO return TO Albu-

SECRETARY SELLERS

Judge Henry l.. Waldo and Col. R..
E. Twitchell, attorneys for the Santa
Fe in New Mexico with headquart-
ers at Las Vegas, were guests at the
Alvarado last night Col. Twitchell
stated that he was down from the
Meadow City on matters pertaining to
the Northern New Mexico fair. He
and Secretary d. X. B. Sellers held a
conference this morning regarding at
fractions which will be used by the
Las Vegas fair after the Territorial
fair, and on matters in connection
with the New Mexico good roads con-
vention which Governor Otero has
called to meet at the Meadow City on
September 26.
Hon. Alex. Bowie, of the Caledonian
Coal company Of Gallup, which COM
pany is now engaged in a law suit
with the Santa Fe, is in the city and
it is very probable that Judge Waldo
is in the city on matters in connection
with that suit. It is rumOred that the
Santa Fe has offered to compromise
with the Caedonian company. This
company claims that it has been dis
criminated against by the Santa Fe

oYAMA is READY TO
FALL ON lINEVITCH

Portsmouth, Aug. 12.-So pessimis
tic is the feeling among those in con
fidence of both sides that the predic
ton was made that if a meeting should
be held this afternoon, it might be the
last, and the history of the Washing.
ton conference" would be abruptly
concluded today.
If negotiations shall be broken off
Oyama will Immediately give battle
to Linevitch
The Associated Press learns from
an unimpeachable source that Oyama's S
plans have been perfected, his army
is ready, and he only awaits the sig
nal that a rupture has occurred, to
launch his attack.
The Russian reply to the Japanese
terms declines to admit discussion
upon two points, indemnity and the
cession of Sakhalin. Others it ac-
cepts, and still others it accepts con
ditionally. 1t sets forth reasons and
Arguments for decision in each case
The argument against the payment
of an indemnity or cession of terri
tory, is based upon the general the
ory that Russia is not responsible for
the war; and that as Russia is still
prepared to continue the struggle, and
has sought this meeting not as van
quished country begging for terms,
but because she sincerely desired
peace, if honorable peace is possible,
therefore, she could neither agree to
foot Japan's bill for war nor accede
to any demands for territory.

CRUISER PALLADA HAS BEEN RAISED AT PORT ARTHUR

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 12.-The
meeting of the peace conference this
morning lasted little more than an
hour The Russian reply was deliv-
cred by Mr.. Witte and the meeting
was adjourned to give Baron Komura
and his colleagues an opportunity to
examine the document.
Nj. Witte indicated courteously
that he would expect the Japanese
response as speedily as was observed
the Interpretation of the Russian re-
ply and this was readily assented to.
The Russian ENJOYS and Japanese
alike, remained at the navy yard.
The Japanese plenipotentiaries have
agreed to make their Russian reply
at o'clock this afternoon or the
same time tomorrow
The Associated Press is in a posi-
ton to state that the Japanese be-
lieve the Russians have been laying
a foundation for the claim that the
responsibility for the rupture, if one
comes, will have been due to their
attitude of refusal to compromise.
They have decided in case of a break,
to take steps to disapprove any such
claim.

U.S.. AMBASSADOR CONGER
VISITS ALBUQUERQUE
Delegate Mark Smith of Arizona Given ROyaI
RECEPTION by Friends of Joint
Statehood.

e. II. COnger, United States ambas-
sador to the City of Mexico, spent yes.

er in law, Col. Il. A. Edwards, who is
military instructor at the New Mexico
Agricultural college, and was in AL
buquerque during the forenoon, leaving
at noon for Washington, d. c.. on de-
layed train No. 2.
Mr.. Conger said that he was on a
two months vacation to his old home
at Des Moines, Iowa, and incidently
would visit Washington.
Il will go direct to Washington and
will see the president" said the am
bassador, but | have not been called
there"
This announcement came from Mr..
Conger as the result of a question
from The Citizen reporter asking if
he had not been called TO Washington
by the president because of his wide
knowledge of the Chinese, who threat
en- TO put a boycott on American goods
i'm China and are causing the United
States no end of trouble.
II will be remembered that Mr.. Con-
ger was ambassador to China during
the stormy days of the Boxer up-ris-
ing, and he is thoroughly acquainted
with the Chinese situation.
However, he refused TO discuss it
and avoided the subject by saying
that if he was having any difficulty in
Mexico, he would very much dislike TO
have w. w. Rockhill, ambassador to
China, NEEDLE with his affairs.
The reporter touched on the Ele-
phant Butte dam relations between
Mexico and the United States and
Mr.. Conger stated that he believed
that al differences in the matter had
been satisfactorily settled to both
countries as nothing had come up dur
ing his term of Office in Mexico Mr.
COnger just recently relieved Powell
Clayton as ambassador TO Mexico.
Mr. COnger stOutly denied the re-
port that he had gubernatorial aspira-
tions in Iowa and seemed somewhat
runled when the matter was broached

Mrs. COnger, and had the good for
tune 20 meet on train No. an old

BARNETT'S HORSES CREATE
SENSATION IN MISSOURI

A message was received in this city
today from Joe Barnett, who is now
attending the races at the Harrison
vile, Mo-, meeting, stating that his
horses are still winning in every race
they start in, and that they have
proved to be the sensation of the Mis-
souri, circuit
On Thursday Young Hall won
the 2:11 pace handily, from field
of the best horses in the middle west.
The horse from New Mexico was hard
ly taken into consideration in the first
heat, but when Trainer F. A. Frost
brought him into the stretch and the
gelding got his stride, he left the en-.
tire field and finished under the wire,
pulled up.
This caused a great deal of COM
ment among prominent horsemen, who
were disposed at first to consider the
New Mexico horses as scrubs. The
respect that Young Hal had gained
for the st. Elmo stable was plainly
evidenced yesterday afternoon when
Hallina Morgan made her first APP
pearance at Harrisonville, in the g.
year-old pace.
This little mare, who last week
broke the Missouri state record for a
mile, went to the post a favorite in
the betting, and it was all her way,
she taking the race in straight heats.
The time was not given.
Trainer Frost and Mr.. Barnett will
leave Harrisonville tomorrow for De-
catur, H., where next week the horses
will make their first appearance this
season on the Illinois state circuit.
The sensational performance of the
Barnett horses this year is the talk
of race horse men throughout the
west, and all the horse periodicals are
devoting extra space to the fine per-
formance of the horses of the st. Elmo
stable.
