TROUBLE IN SPAIN.
New Cabinet Decision Affects Civil and
 Religious Marriage Ceremonies.

Madrid, August 1.-Disorders have oc- cured between republicans and clericals at a number of points in the country, notably in the Basque provinces where the intervention of the police was required to prevent republicans from breaking up fetes held in comemmoration of Stagna- titus, the founder of the Jesuit order
 The disorders have been augmented by the policy of the new Domnlquez minis try, which seeks a modification of clerical privileges.
 One of the first decrees of the new min istry settles the long pending controversy over civil marriages The clergy have heretofore required religious marriages and have refused burial in consecrated cemeteries to those married by the civil form only.
 The minister of justice, Count Roman ones, has now promulgated q decree hold ing that the concordat does not warrant these clerical restrictions. setting forth negatives of the state and forbldding re- strictions upon burial in consecrated cem- eteries based upon the civil marriage cere- mony. This action Is generally interpreted as Indicating a tendency of the cabinet (French) policy of separation of church and state.
 Disorders between republicans and cler- icals in Barcelona also are reported.

Here stoves, tables and beds are furnished free and very often the food. too, has to be provided, as many of the immigrants reach the country penniless

 Great Canadian Pacific Railway.
 It is this great railroad that has made Canada what she is today and the same power has turned the eyes of the world towards Canada. When the building of this road started out through Western Canada people that 1t the very height of folly When the company sought help from the government to assist in build ing the road the people said: NO, if they want road give them the worthless lands,' so that great concessions in the way of what was called worthless lands were granted to the company.
 The road was built, farmers and ranch men followed 1t up and soon found out the value of the country for small grains, grass and stock. As lands were brought into cultivation, yielding such crops of grain as to astonlsh the world, lands be- gan to be in demand, the price went up and now these same people are crying out that the government had bartered away to the railroads the birthrights of the people by giving them land that right fully belonged to the people. But the question is, what would the land be worth to the people without the railroads? It is largely true that the Canadian Pacific railway owns and controls great many of the various industries, but they have bliilded up most of these as well as opened the way for the development of agriculture and improvement of the lands.
 In regard to the railroad owning the country and all that there is to it, this story was told me as being true one An 1rishman moving into Canada noticed the letters c. P. R., which are every where, on elevators, mills. stores. houes of various kinds, as well as on all the stations and cars. Walking up the street, he met d gentleman of whom he asked the time. The man on looking at his watch, said. By the c. P. R. time 1t is 4:9O." whereupon the Irishman threw ur his hands In horror and exclaimed, 'Do they own the time too in this country?'' Whether or not they own the time. every thing in that country is run by their time and the first thing l did on reaching the station in Winnipeg was to set my watch with c. P. R. time and this is wise thing for every stranger coming intp theii country to do.
 This c. P R. is doing an immense busi- ness, in fact they are taxed to their utmost to get equipment to handle the business offered them. The travel into this country is something wonderful. One has to make application several days ahead in order to secure a berth in q sleeper Whole trains of tourist sleeps are being run over this line There ars

LORD DOUGLASS
 NOT REAL ARTICLE
MAINE OFFICERS HAVE A MAN BY THAT NAME, BUT HE PROVES TO BE THE SON OF MARQUIS OF QUEENSBURY.

Portland, Me, August 1.-lnstead of hay ing in custody an American bigamist known as Lord Douglass, wanted by the authorities of many states, as was first supposed. the Portland police, it is thought. have detained Lord Sholto Douglass, third son of the late Marquis of Queensberry.
 Several days ago a Portland detective was requested by the police of Asheville, N. C., to arrest a man who rented a cot tage on the shore of Sebago lake in May The officer went to the lake yester- day and detained a man known at the lake resorts as s. G. Douglass. The Ashe- ville police were notified of the deten- tion of the man but the local authorities suspected from the first that mistake had been made, and they refralned from making public the oeenrehce.
 The suspect regarded the arrest hu- morously and told the officers who called on him that he was Lord sholto George Douglass. With him were two persons who he said were Lady Douglass and their son. So convincing was his story that the local police notified the Asheville po- lice today that in their opinion the man was what he claimed 10 be and advised his release.
 A firm of bankers in Portland stated to- day that the man detained is really Lord Sholto Douglass.
 Tonight the police sent a eablegram to Scotland Yard London, asking for infor- nation. If the reply, which is expected tomorrow Is favorable to the man under detention, he will be released.

 Banks.
 Money matters everywhere seemed very easy and almost everyone seemed to have ready supply of cash. The number of great banks that are found in every town of any size is the strongest evidence of prosperity and plenty I was in one little city of less than 15.0O0 people where there were thirteen banks. The largest of these banks had this statement on their win dow: Capital stock, sl4,O0O,OOo. Reserve fund, 500 900. Agriculture and ranches form the basis of this immense wealth, for as yet there are but few manufactur- ing industries started
 Distribution of Grains. While at Winnepeg I visited the great grain warehouses of the government where all grains grasses and other farm products are brought and here cleaned and prepared for sending out to all parts of the civilized world. To see the great variety of grains, both in straw and thrashed well as all the other farm products. and to see the army of busy workers cleaning this grain. packing 1t in new, clean boxes is an interesting sight and place where the student of agricul- ture can get many valuable object les sons.
 The making of all these nice boxes Is a very costly business in itself. I was greatly interested in wha. I saw in these great warehouses. This, perhaps, Is the great secret of success in attracting peo- pie to their country, they spare no ex- pense in advertising 1t. In many of our great cities in the United States, one can find Canadian government agents with large exhibits of products of the soil from their country and these excite peo- pie of a speculative mind at once. for no country can show finer samples than those now being sent out by the Canadian government.
 The beautiful color of both straw and grain, as we'll as the firfnness and fine quality of the grain, has all been great surprise to the world and thousands won der how so many good quarlitless can be blended together When l come to
 examine the soil, soon solved this prob lem to my own satisfaction. at least. The whole country was at one time in the history of the world a great inland sea Here was the blending together of vast amount of animal vegetable and
 mineral plant foods. The accumulation of organic matter has been going on for | ages, while there has been but little ds- I spation or waste of any of the ele-

 Agriculture in Canada.
 Agriculture Is the one thing, above all others that is bringing so many people to this country. The phenomenal crops of small grain grown In this new country has astonished the world and turned the attention or the people to Canada While the country is too cold for corn and many of our tender vegetables, yet all small grains come as near growing to perfection here as in any country of the world I saw oats and wheat six feet tall with straw as clean and bright as a new dol- lar Oats thrash from sixty to one hum dred and twenty-five bushels per acre. I brought home with me samples of oats from crops that thrashed 125 bushels per acre, weighing 52 pounds to the measured bushels. Wheat yields from 90 to 65 bushels per acre and have samples out of crops that yield 65 bushels of a No. l wheat per acre.
 l was shown farm that the owner paid s8 per acre for; his first crop after breaking the land was oats which brought ted cases, but such results are common. Grass, too, grows here to perfection and cattle were rolling fat on the ranges. I never saw or ate better bread, beef and butter than I had all the while I was in Canada. As stated before, the nights are too cool for corn and such crops as beans. tomatoes and the tendervne crops, but peas, cabbage, caullfiower and all the root crops grow exceedingly well. Sugar beets are being extensively grown. The country Is new and but few efforts have been made in fruit growing.
 immigration.
 ,+ bic int fbfu country Is simply wonderful. The people are coming from everywhere. I saw a statement that 50,000 families. with an av- craze of 5000 to the family. had gone from the United States Into Canada dur ing the past winter and spring. England is now furnishing many farmers to this country also, and these. too. come with money. 1t was a surprise to me to Ind out how extensively this country is ad- vertised and to know of the many seek Ing for information l called Into an of- flee bureau of information.

 There is. as yet, no waste of plant foods the rains are not heavy and wash ing, so as to wash out and carry off How long these soils will hold out in producing these great yields of crops ls a question yet to be determined. It may last one or even two generations but will eventually give out unless the sup ply Is kept up that is the farmer should study to put back each year in some form as much as he takes from the soil if he expects such results always as he now gets
 Another great feature about the fer tilty of the soil here is that there IA such a dense growth of grass that the soil is always shaded and the shading of the soil Is a great protection against loss of plant foods.
 .hen I went to Canada and saw all this great provision for the wants of man in the making of a perfect soil, I felt greatly encouraged, for here I found that had been right in line with na- ture in teaching our readers In less fs- vored sections the great importance of providing their soils with the proper ele- ments of plant foods well balanced in order to get fully repaid for tilling the soil.
