safe removal or transplanting Of these
Poppies, even among commercial men,
but [ may say l have never had the
slightest difficulty in handling them,
neither in fall nor spring; and while
l recommend their being handled in
pots for trade purposes, they will sue
coed just as we'll without being potted
if properly handled either in fall or
very early spring.
I think late spring is when the con-
ditions are most disasterous to them in
removal, and this is where good pot
plants come in, as then they can be
handled for a much longer period,
which is quite an advantage to both
planter and dealer; especially is this so
if the dealer has very cold spot
where he can place few hundred for
late corners.
After potting up I generally place the
plants in cold frame, in a good high
and dry position, or where water won't
be likely to stand or accumulate during
the winter months. Here the pots are
plunged, and as soon as real cold
weather sets in they are covered with
ashes two or three inches deep. This
gives them all the protection they need
and also keeps them from heaving out
Of the pots during winter. Or they
may be covered with dry leaves just
as soon as real severe wintry weather
sets in; and in this place, a sash or
even pine branches will keep the leaves
in place, but with a sash they may be
got at much earlier for early orders.
Don't fail to raise the sash and venti-
late very freely during the brightest
days of winter, as the covering under
glass helps to retain heat which SO
readily agitates and starts plants into
growth; so it is better to keep on the
safe side and ventilate freely
The smaller plants may be placed
back into nursery rows, from two to
three inches apart, where they readily
establish themselves and make extra

RED FLAGS NOT PERMlTrED.
Police Interfere With Socialist Parade
at Chicago.

Chicago, May 3.-Two hundred men
calling themselves socialists attempt
cd to march through the streets under
the red flag and were prevented by the
police.
AS soon as word was brought to the
police that a parade under the red flag
was projected fifty policemen under
the command of Sergeant Michael Sui
Ivan were at once sent to Michigan
and North Clark street, where 1t was
said that the parade was forming.
The officers found a large number of
men wearing red badges and just
about to set out on their parade. They
were at once informed that the red
flag could not be unfurled and that il
the parade took place at all it must be
with the flags tightly rolled. The men
started without the flags and marched
to Douglas park, five miles away. Be.
fore one-ffth Of the distance had been
covered the parade had been greatly
reduced in numbers. A meeting was
held later in the park and speeches
were made under the eye of the po-
lice, who had orders to break 1t up If
the u~tterances OF the speakers became
~incendiary.

WILL INSIST ON A QUORUM
MINORITY LEADER IN HOUSE TO
PUT ANOTHER REEF IN
LEGISLATIVE SAILS"

Washington, May 3.-Representa-
tive John sharp Williams. who is con-
Quoting a general ilibuster in the
house to further a speedy report on
the statehood bill, is not satisfied with
the results he is producing. He an
nounced some time ago that he would
thereafter object to all unanimous
consent" legislation until a report vas
received from the statehood confer
ence. He has carried out this pro-
gramme, except when the legislation
proposed seemed to be imperative.
The report from the conference com
mittee, however, has not been made.
He declared during the day he would
endeayor ito put another reef in the
legislative sails" and demand that a
quorum of the house shall be present
at all times when business is trans
acted.
The house conferees On the state
hood bill have made, they say, every
effort in their power 70 hasten the
statehood contest between the two
houses.
The main question of difference has
not been reached in their considera-
tion-that of admitting or rejecting
Arizona and New Mexico.

SHOULD BE PROMPTLY VACATED.
Health Officers Condemn Chicago's
City Hall Building.

Chicago, May 3.-The city hall has
been condemned as dangerous to the
health of it's occupants and Chief SAM
tary Inspector Hedrick said that 1t
should be vacated at once. Several
months ago the county building, which
adjoined the city hall on the east, was
torn down to permit the erection of a
new structure and because of this the
walls of the city hall settled several
inches, causing much of the plumbing
to become disjointed. Inspector He'd
rick said that the building was so
filed with poisonous gases that it is
dangerous to health. The improper
sanitation now existing in the city
hall, he declared, would not be toler-
ated for a day in any other building in
the city.

SCENES OF WILD CONFUSION
SLUMP IN STOCKS CAUSES TU-
MULTI ON NEW YORK STOCK
EXCHANGE.

New York, May 3.-Prices were
smashed at the opening of the stock
market as a result Of the continuance
Of the heavy selling which began the
previous afternoon. The rush to dis
pose of securities seemed to indicate
that liquidation Of an important char
acter was under way and speculative
holders of stocks generally became
alarmed and made a ~precipitate rush
to get out Of the market. Forced sell
ing was caused by calls for additional
margins over night from brokers, to
which responses were lacking or were
unsatisfactory. AT the Stock Elk.
change it was believed that the open
ing break represented further liquida-
ton by certain large operators who
were caught in last weeks slump.
This, together with short selling by
prominent traders and the absence of
support by the big banking interests,
accelerated the decline.
The first nour on the exchange was
Aldl hEu ny SCCLSS Vi VIII ~COuIuSlOu.
The opening attendance was large and
most brokers had selling orders. A
great many of these orders were un-
covered in the first fifteen minutes. AS
usual much of the selling was for out
OF town account and Boston is report
ed to have figured to no small extent.
The excitement was greatest around
the United States Steel, Amalgamated
Copper, Union Pacific, ST. Paul and
Reading trading posts, these stocks
largely bearing the brunt of the early
attack. The noise and confusion was
so great as to be heard almost a block
away and the visitors gallery of the
exchange was soon filled with sight
seers.
The market rallied shortly after
moor and there were substantial re-
coveries in the stock list. Before /
o'clock, however, it started down,
gains being lost, while some active
issues went lower than before the
rally.

pARDEs PETITIONS CONGRESS.
Asks That californla's Pending Claims
BE Paid.

washington, May 3.--At the begin
ming Of the days session of the senate
Mr.. Perkins presented a Geographic
petition from Governor Pardee Of Cali
fornia for the payment OF the claims
of that state against the government,
for the settlement of which bills are
now pending. The text of the petition
Is as follows:
"Will congress in CALIFORNIA; pres
emit great need pass our 5 per cent pub
lie lands claim amounting to about
sl,000,0 900; also our War OF Rebellion
claims, a~ggregating $4,000, 900; also
our Indian war claims, originally $780,
000, on account Of the destruction Of
$500. 100000 of San Francisco prop
erty. which represents one. fifth OF the
assessed valuation OF the entire state?
Our state funds, including maintenance
OF asylums, ~penitentiary and repairs of
public buildings injured and destroyed
by earthquake will all se greatly ham
pered unless congress can see its way
clear to pass these claims, the justice
of which has never been seriously
questioned. We are under great obii-
cation to congress already, but we ven
ture to ask for this further aid"
The petition was referred to the
committee on claims.
Mr.. Newlands later presented a joint
resolution directing the senate COM
mittee on finance and the house COM
mittee on ways and means to investi.
gate the feasibility of the govern
ment's guaranteeing bonds TO assist in
the rebuilding OF San Francisco.
The resolution recites the recent dis
aster and says that under the powers
of the general welfare clause Of the
Constitution congress should come to
Tie aid Of San Francisco.

GOVERNMENT AID is ASKED
SAN FRANCISCO SEEKS euARAN-
TEE FOR BOND ISSUE or
$780, 100000.

San Francisco, May 3.-victor H.
Metcalf, secretary of commerce and
labor, who is here as the personal rep
~resentative Of the president, will be
requested 10 lay before President
Roosevelt and the cabinet upon his re
turn to washington the plan proposed
by former Mayor James d. Phelan OF
having the government guarantee a
large municipal bond issue by San
Francisco TO rebuild the city This
action, il IS said. was uHofHcially de-
cided upon at a conference held at
Fort Mason between the finance com
mittee, OF which Dir. Phelan is chair
man. and the mayor.
1t is proposed that San Francisco
shall issue municipal bonds In the sum
of $500, COO 00 10 run a series of years
and the payment of which IS 10 be
guaranteed BY the United States. To
issue sach a loan ID will be necessary
to amend the city charter and have the
legislature remove any other obstacle.
All ablebodied men must work II
leave the city. This is the dictum OF
Chief of Police Dinan. which, it is said,
he will strictly enforce. The relief
work and distribution of food and
clothing is attracting a certain ele-
ment to the city which does not de-
sire to labor, while some already here
prefer TO live on the generosity of the
others rather than work. Chief Oman
has determined that those who apply
for relief and refuse to work when it
Is offered them shall leave the city or
be arrested for yagrancy. The police
judges have suggested the establishing
of a chain gang and putting all vag-
rants and petty offenders at work
clearing up the ruins.

DIE IN A BURNING HOUSE.
An Old Man and a Little Child Gre.
mated at Grayling, MINI.

Aitkin, MINI, May ga man named
PREM, living at Crawling, east of here,
was burned to death during the night,
together with his little grandson, four
years Of age.
The mother of the little boy laid him
on the bed asleep and went over to
visit her father-in-law, who lived but
a few rods away. When the house
was discovered to be on fire the old
man rushed over and entered the
building to save the boy, but he never
came out.
The house had been repaired and the
door to the bedroom changed, and it is
supposed that the old man got con.
fused, for he was heard rapping on the
partition, and when the body was
found it was lying near the place
where the door formerly was. The
boys body was found on the bed
spring, the blankets, sheets and mat
tress having been burned away.

San Francisco. May 3.-Conditions

Sketch of New Russian Premier.
Privy Councillor Goremykin was min
lister of the interior from 1895 to 1899
and has taken a prominent part in
Russian political life, especially during
the revolutionary period of the last
few years. He is greatly interested
in agrarian subjects and in April, 1905,
Emperor Nicholas appointed him chair
man Of the special commission formed
in an endeavor to investigate the
agrarian movement, which was aus
ing considerable disturbance in the
Caucasus.
M. Goremykin worked industriously
with this commission and in many in
stances made personal Investigations
instead of relying upon reports. The
question was SO vast, however, that
up to the present time no definite re-
port has been made by the commits
sion, although it was rumored in Octo-
Der, 1905, that a measure had been
drafted providing for the distribution
of state lands to the peasants on easy
terms.
The administration of M. Goremykin
as minister of the interior was not
marked by any of the haTshness
which had been so prevalent during
the administration Of several of his
predecessors and his name has never
been mentioned as n of the likely
victims of the terrorists, who assas-
sinated two of his immediate prede.
cessors.
