Decided anxiety is felt here regard ing the fate of the army in Manchuria, under its new commander. no news of military developments the last two days having been received here. The only dispatches from the front are the brief announcements yesterday that General Linevitch had assumed com mand and that General Kuropatkin was departing for St. Petersburg. which disposes of a rumor that the latter had committed suicide. and the Associated Press Changtufu dispatch filed the morning of March Is. and written at the station of Kaiyuan. which was then held by the Russians.

 One distillery company in Kentucky turns out every seven days 1.200 bar- rels of sweet mash whisley. The out- put for a year would be 62.40o barrels The cost of all this to be manufactur- CTS may be fairly estimated at $S74.400 and they receive from the wholesaler a profit of from $1 to $2 per barrel. The Government comes in for a nice little rakeoff, but the fellow who has to pay 1t all, including transportation chargess Government and local license fees. salary of barkeep and rent of buildings. is the man before the bar, and for these 62,, 400 barrels of booze he let's go of s24,761, ,67S and then goes home and beats his wife because supper isn't ready.

 the Fourth European corps being now

 Military oficiaIs here declare that
 there are now 26S.000 men at General |Linevitch's disposal in Manchuria, and it is believed that this force will be sufficient to cause the Japanese to ex- ercise greater caution in their pursuit. Prince Hilkoff. who will leave St. Petersburg soon to prepare the Sibe- rian Railroad for forwarding the new lievies which have been determined up- on. said yesterday that there had been no breakdown as yet and that he hoped | as soon as navigation opened 1t would be possible to transport one-fourth of outgoing soldiers by the rivers and re' Iieye the railroad to that extent.
 Although General Kuropatkin downfall was inevitable from the mili- tarv standpoint, nevertheless 1t arouses sympathy in circles familiar with the long campaign that has been wageo against him by the general stan. cen | eral SakanarOu was HIS oPrh and General Dragomiroff his most severe critic. and many of his own sub ordinates were jealous and grudginsly obedient Many epirgrams about Gen eral Kuropatkin's shortcomings are be- ing attributed to General Dragomiron and the supercession of the former at l such a critical moment Is directly at- tributed to Dragomiroff's advice, Elm peror Nicholas now giving ear to the
 veteran strategist in military matters. General Llnevitch is distinctly line officer with a long record as fighter. He Is almost as cordially disliked by the general stan as is his predecessor and there is bad blood between kuro- natkin and Linevitch dating from personal quarrel In the days when Kuropatkin was commander or the Trans Baikal army. which led Line-
 witch to demand satisfaction kuro-
 patkin assumed the position that hs
 could not fight an officer of inferior
 rank. The succession of this officer
 will naturally increase General kuro-
 patkin's discomfiture.

 statesman will soon be relieved of hls

 A circumstantial report is ahoat that Inerior Minister Bouligan's commission

Will It Pay to Hold COrn7

According to information just col
lected by the Missouri Agricultural
College, the farmer who puts his corn
In crib TO hold it for better prices
can count on q loss by next June oil
at least fifteen per cent. That is 20
say, leaving out vi secouns the GO.
OF handling and loss by waste, thirty
centsa bushel for, the crop now is bet.
ter than thirty-five cents nextspring.
This conclusion is based on the re-
ports of careful experiments covering
seven years and extending over a
large part OF the Mississippi Valley.
At the Iowa Station, for example,
seven thousand pounds OF corn were
busked and stored October nine
teenth, in a crib built upon scales in
order that the weight may be taken
without disturbing the natural con-
dition Of storage. There was a
shrinksge oinins percest for the first
quarter year, five per cent for the
second, three per cent for the third,
and two and five-sevenths per cent
for the last quarter. Theexperiment
was conducted under the conditions
that normally exist in this section oil
the United States and the results
may, therefore, be taken as typical
OF those that will obtain on the aver
age Missouri farm.
The Missouri College ofAgriculture,
however, does not advise iarmere to
sell their corn, but to iced it to some
class OF animals, thus returning as
much OF it as possible to the soil,
Careful estimates show that where
corn is led, eighty-tive per cent OF it
can be sent back to the field to pre-
serve its fertility. Selling the crop
means taking this eighty-fve per cent
from the farm and thus, needlessly,
reducing it's fertility.
