The Government Distribution of Seeds.
Anent the free distribution by the
government of garden seeds Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson says in one of
his reports: with regard to the Sc
curing and distributing of miscellan-
eous garden and flower seeds, the fact
remains that this work does not &C
complish the ends for which the law
was originally framed. There are
collected, put up and distributed now,
on congressional orders, nearly 49,
100000 packets of miscellaneous veg
etable and flower seeds each year.
These seeds are the best that can be
obtained in the market, but from the
fact that large numbers of packets are
wanted, the seed obtained can be of
standard sorts only, such as are to
be found everywhere for sale in the
open market. AS there is no practi-
cal object to be gained in distribut-
ing this kind of seed, il seems very
desirable that some change be made.
To this end, it would seem wise to
limit our work entirely to the secur-
ing and distributing of seeds, plants,
etc., of new and rare sorts. This is
the line of work that would result in
very much more value to individual
districts throughout the country than
the distribution of large quantity of
common varieties of garden seed
which have no particular merit so far
as newness or promise are con-
cerned.'

RoJEsTvENsKY AS A WITNESS
Asks to Be Exempt from Passing on
NebOgatOfY's Surrender.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 12-Vice Adj
c,iral Rojestvensky was placed on the
stand today in the trial by court mar
tai of Rear Admiral Nebogatoff in an
attempt to bring out testimony as
to the unfitness for battle of Nebo-
gatoff's squadron, which the defense
hitherto had vainly endeavored to in
troduce.
The anticipated sensational charges
Of fraud in the building and fitting
out of the ships were barred by a
ruling of the court that all evidence
before the day of the battle OF the
Sea of Japan was incompetent, and
counsel for Nebogatoff was unable to
establish any effectiveness in the
Russian shells or ammunition.
When Rojestvensky was asked If
in view of the condition Of Nebogat'
OFFS squadron, any alternative but tt
surrender was possible, he requested
permission to not reply.

Chicago, Dec. 12-The Chronicle to-
day says:
The story of man who has Travelled
half way around the world and most
OF the distance on foot to escape the
wiles Of woman who he asserts has
matrimonial aspirations in which he
figures as the prospective husband,
was unfolded to the Chicago polict
yesterday. The tale, in which flight
from the United States to Germany
and back to this country again was
included. was related by John No
vatne, half owner OF a gold mine near
Prescott, Ariz.
Novatne arrived in Chicago with but
u cents in his pocket after having
walked all but seven miles Of the DIS
lance from New York. n
Novatne. who IL now 66 years OF
age, first came to the United States
in 1897. and went Immediately to the
gold fields Of Arisona, where, he as
aerts. he lister acquired half interest
In one Of the largest mines in that
section. Then, according to his story,
he returned to Austria, where he re-
counted his good fortune to relatives
and friends. Again he came to the
United States. but upon his second re-
turn to his native country. Novatne's
love affair began. az did also his sub
seQuent financial misfortunes.
IT was In q cafe In Paris one night 7
he said yesterday, when made the
acquaintance Of q young woman--a
widow, who at once fell desperately In
love with me. / returned the affec-
tion at the time, but soon I grew sus-
picious, for she asked so many per-
sonal questions. She wanted to know
the value Of my mine and she wanted
to know exactly how much money
was worth. Then she suddenly pro.
posed marriage. was surprised al
the offer. but she insisted. I will MARI,
YOU whether you like 1t or not sh'
said, but decided right there tina
there would be no marriage, 80 left.
The miner then told Of his fligh
through various European countries
and OF the pursuit Of the widow. Final
~ he embarked on an American bouns
steamer and arrived in New York las
October. The day after landing h
learned for the first time. he says
that the other persons interested II
his mine had defrauded him out o
his share and had sold the propert
to q corporation.
The once wealthy and much ?sought

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE house
today began the consideration of the
legislative. executive and judicial app
preparation bill by paragraphs and
|completed "a pages OF the bill be-
fore adjournment. Several hours
were consumed in debating an amend
inent referring to simplified spelling,
with the result that the original pro-
vision on that subject was eliminate
ed and another amendment adopted.
The new provision instructs the pub,
lie printer to use the photography

the house adopted the spelling

For hours today the debate on SIM
Iplif1ed spelling held the attention of
the house to enable score or more
members to take part in the discus
sion. Representative Crumpacker OF

tho paragraph in the bill which pre-.
vides that documents shall be spelled

NEW YORK, April 3.-The supporters
or the stock market were put to some
trouble today to sustain prices and the
efforts were made with only varying sue
cess, in contrast with the ready advance
ing tendency of yesterday. The specu-
latiVe party committed to higher prices
operated with markedly more confidence
than was the case yesterday and the
market was given over to realization at
strong stocks only here and there served
to limit the proportions of the decline.
Consideration of the money situation
has much to do with the modified senti-
ment Of speculation Although the furry
to 10 per cent late yesterday had been
ignored, the opening of the call market
At 61a per cent today had disturbing
effect on sentiment

1t was reported today that Paris had
taken large amounts of gold in Berlin
thus forestalling the chances of securing
further amounts there for New York ac-
count. Much reliance has been placed
on the opening of foreign money re-

ket was Amalgamated Copper, which was

Union Pacific also made a show of
