pOLYMNIA TONIGHT
The Pittsburgh Orchestra in Grand
Concert.

In Polymnia is represented the musi-
cal talent of Shreveport, and it is
through Polymnia that the ideal in
music is to be reached Therefore, the
ladies of this association should, and
doubtless will, receive the most liberal
encouragement commensurate with their
|untiring effort to make tonight's enter
Ftainment one of the most exquisitely de-
lightful ever held in this city At great
expense the Pittsburgh Orchestra has
been secured with Emil Pauer: conduct
or, whose record of brilliant successes is
endor sement sufficient of his ability, and
with Madame Gadski, soloist, supported
by the orchestra, the audience will be
treated to a programme of vocal and in
strumental music which has received the
commentator of crowned heads of Eu-
rope and the encomiums of the most
rigid critics. To fail to be present at
the entertainment by Polymnia will be
missing a presentation of a programme
which is not often offered to the public.

BASE BALL
The Opening of the League Season ir
Shreveport.

The base ball season in Shreveport
will be opened this afternoon at the ball
park and is an event in which all classes
of people are interested The contest is
to be between Shreveport and Little
Rock. That Shreveport has strong
team, one of the best in the League, is
generally conceded, and therefore the
anticipation is naturally high and hope
full. There is no game which arouses
greater enthusiasm than base bali, at
least among Americans and their kin
dred, and as the infection becomes con-
tagious, the high and the low, of all
sexes, colors and condition, are affected.
So be it. Through this game millions
are afforded pleasure, and as to Shreve-
port it is about the only recreation
which is within the reach of the people
in summer Let this national game be
recognized without stint or limit. 1t
goes without saying that the fullest
measure of success is wished the Shreve-
por team-the measure filled tip, heap
ing full, pressed down and running over.

TWO JAPANESE FLEETS
Fogos Squadron Is Near Formosa and
Kamimura Watching Pacific Route.

A London cable from Hong Kong
dated May 3 states that British vesse
arrived there today and reports having
passed an immense Japanese squadron
off the Island of Fornaosa. The fleet
was composed of several battleships and
cruisers and over forty torpedo boats
and torpedo boat destroyers. This is be-
lieved to be Admiral Togo's squadron.
A cable received at Hong Kong from
Manila says Japanese feet under Ad-
miral Kanlimura is awaiting off the
coast of the Philippines for the approach
of the Russian squadron in case Ro-
jestvensky attempts to make the run for
Vladivostok by the Pacific route.
= French officials in Indo-C China are CEN
soring dispatches filed Dferspondents
and mention of the Russian squadron is
stricken from the messages
British naval experts are of the opin-
ion that Admiral Togo has laid his plans
for desperate night attack with tor
pedo boats. Japan has just placed over
twenty new torpedo boats in commission,
and Togo has about fifty in his squad
ron, while Kamimura has at least thirty.

THE NEXT stage
An Exciting Contest Will Be Witnessed
When Dwyer and Parker Meet
Next tMonday Night.

Jack Dwyer and Harry Parker, wh'
are to contest for supremacy on the ma
at the stag to be given by the Shreve
port Athletic Association next Monda,
night, are reported to be in first clas
condition and fit to put up the mos
strenuous kind of contest.
To those who have never witnessed (
match between expert wrestlers it viii
be novel sight to see, first one and ther
the other 60 flying through space
thrown clear over his opponents head
only to land in a position that not only
saves him from bodily harm but also
prevents his opponent scoring fall
Occurrences of this kind should hap
pen frequently during the struggle be-
tween Dwyer and Parker, as both men
are noted for their marvellous agility,
strength and cleverness.
&s~In order to affordsthe men every op-
portunity to do fast, clever work, the
club has had a magnificent wrestling
mat made that will not only insure speed
but will also minimize the chances of
possible injury to the men engaged in
this most exciting of all athletic sports
The other "star' boutt on the pro-
gramne will be the ten-round scientific
boxing bout betkeen Kelly and Carey,
two of the best 1870 pound boxers in the
business today. The best boxing bout
that has ever been brought to Shreve-
port will be witnessed when these young
sters meet Monday night.

Quebect. Negotiations have been GO

for some years and an understanding
has been arrived at. Two forts viii

forts will give a sweeping command Of
both the north and south channels of the

will be begun on one of the forts next
month. When completed the forts wlll

Washington, May 16.-should the
occasion arise for the celebration by
big exposition Of some great event
in the history Of the United States
n Is the Gs sofa p ys station
will be in line for more.prizes for plant
breeding. In any event the farmers of
that section Of the country between
the Missouri boundary line and the
southern line OF the spring wheat belt,
who grow winter wheat, will be the
benefciaries Of experiments now being
conducted, with a view to producing a
hardy variety of winter wheat, which
will at the same time yield 10 per
cent more to the acre than is now be-
ing produced.
The experiments with winter wheat
were begun two years ago, and the re
suits so far obtained are somewhat
similar to those secured when Profess
esor W. N. Hays began to experiment
to secure a variety Of winter wheat
that will be as hardy as rye. Up to
this time about 1000 varieties of win
ter wheat have been secured, and they
are now growing on small patch OF
few acres out at the experiment sta
ton farm. For the next four or five
years the experiment will consist
these varieties, and those conducting
the tests expect to produce one or two
varieties which will become as famous
in the winter wheat states as have the
varieties of spring wheat known as
Minnesota No. 1853 and Minnesota No.
1879 in the spring wheat country. When
these varieties are produced, seed
o,Nr hn md n1yfr>
will be distributed judiciously among
farmers in the winter wheat country
for reproduction and sale to their
neighbors.
Professor Hays experiments in fax
breeding' to increase the yield reached
successful conclusion two years ago,
and this spring about 1900 bushels Of
! uted to fax-growers in Minnesota and
the Dakotas. These two varieties not
only yield more seed, but the other
parts Of the plant which are Of COM
mercial value will be worth more to
the growers because of an increase in
| production.
Work With Other Grains.
! Similar experiments with oats, corn
and rye are being conducted. at the
Minnesota experiment station, and
|
Dakota and Iowa, all of which have
been under the general supervision of
Professor Hays, as the representative
Of the agricultural department. The
results Of the experiments with these
cereals have not yet reached a stage
where anything can be said about
them, but little doubt is expressed that
ultimately one of more varieties Of
each will be produced which will give
at least 10 per cent increase in yield.

TO impress upon the wheat farmers the
necessity for crop rotation. This was

BALFOUR WILL BLOCK
CHAMBERLAIN TARIFF

LonNon, May 16.-The Chronicle this
morning says that it has good author
ity to assert that the government has
decided to postpone the dissolution Of
parliament until the fall Of 1906 and
that this decision means the death blow
to tariff reform.
It is rumored in liberal quarters that
Premier Balfour will refuse to accept
Joseph Chamberlain s compromise pro-
in Austen Chamberlain s resigning the
chancellorship Of the exchequer.
While it is impossible to confirm
either Of the reports, such an issue is
considered by many well-informed poll
ticians as extremely probable.
