ATROCITIES OF THANH THAI.
King of Anam Sees Seven of His Wives
Tortured to Death.

Paris. Oct 5.-Thanh Thai. King of Anam. ac-
cording to stories reaching Paris from Indo-
China, has again been guilty of such atrocities
that the French government may be compelled
to adopt rigorous disciplinary measures, as it
did several years ago. when. on account of the
scandal caused by the barbarous torture of the
Kings personal attendants. the French resi-
dent, at the head of the gendarmerie, entered
the palace to save the lives of the attendants
and restore order.
The mails now report that in August the King
was seized with homcidal mania, ordered seven
OF his wives to be executed and looked on with
delight while they were slowly tortured to death.
few days later the King shot down a prince
who was seventy years old. a member of the
Council OF the Royal Family and the last SIR
vivng Of King Mini Mang When tho
French Resident called to demonstrate with
Thanh Thai the King declined to permit him to
enter the palace. The King wanted to visit
Paris, as the King of Cambodia did but the
French press says that such a fiend ought nevar
to be allowed to enter France.

CUBANS QUIT THE FIELD

Work of Disbarding Expected u
Be COMPLETED on Monday.

Havana, Oct 6-whie the disarmament of
TIE rebels VIII not be completed by Saturday
night, II IS now confidently expected that the
entire operation VIII be finished by Monday. with
the exception OF Puerto Principe province which
has been less affected than any other province
By the rebellion but is now a favorfte region for
maurauding bands.
Although the surrender of guns has not been
made compulsory either by the provisional gov
eminent or the disarming commission, the repei
commanders have all given their followers 10
understand that # was a matter Of duty Inc
result has been that the number Of rifles sur
rendered is larger IN proportion to the NUMBER
Of men disbanded than the government expected.
Eight hundred rebels disbanded in Pinar del
Rio province up TO to-day have turned In SIX
hundred guns. Governor Taft regards this pro-
portion as above the average but reports from
Santa Clara indicate that nearly all the guns or
General Guzrnan's command have been surren-
dered Almost all the rebel rifles are old and
poor. and many dHapidated weapons have been
turned IN.
In Pinar del Rio practically all the rebels nave
been disarrned and have returned TO their homes.
In western and southern Havana the work OF
oisbanding is going on steadily. and probably
VIII be completed by Saturday. The Assistant
Secretary OF State, Mr.. Bacon. and Captain Nc

Santa Clara province disarmament is going on
rapidly. Disarmament has been completed IN
Santiago province, with the exception OF small
forces IN the vicinity Of Manzanillo which will

this section
FRICTION IN WESTERN HAVANA
The disarning operation conducted to-day IN
Western Havana by Major Eugene F. Ladd was
not easy task After disarming General Del
Castillos personal escort, which gave up fifty
guns. Major Ladd proceeded 10 disarm the men
Of Del Castillo's brigade commanders Upon
meeting General Arenciba at Santiago de las
Vegas Major Ladd was told that his force Of
i've hundred had already dispersed, but that
1b0 guns would be turned over this evening
When Major Ladd returned, however, only forty
guns were forthcoming from the subordinate
officers left in charge. Major Ladd suspected
the subordinates Of concealing weapons and
threatened 10 take the matter up with Governor
Taft The subordinates at once promised to
produce the remainder Of the guns tomorrow.

to-day by the explosion OF Illuminating gas IN
the Market street subway at eth street. High
buildings were shaken. and for a block on either
side OF the explosion nearly every window was
shattered. The street caved in. halting traffic
and resulting in a suspension OF business. Fire
followed the explosion. but 1t did no damage
to neghboring buildings The loss. It is be-
lieved will exceed 100000.

Beidleman was killed by flying debris Leans
and Benigno died in hospital. Croller's body
recovered from the excavation by searchers
late this afternoon.
The explosion caused by a leak in a city
gas main that had been repaired last night. The
escaping gas formed in pocket in the subway.
and 1t is believed that a workman carrying a
lamp into the great hole ignted the gas.
The explosion wrecked the subway for half a
block, and all the heavy timbering and other
structural work, including tons of earth fell
into the excavation. A heavy rain during the
night naQ signify weakened the walls of the
excavation and added TO the damage
Just as the gas blew UP double team was
being driven directly across the covered subway
by driver of the Willard Construction Com
pany, which is building the subway The vehicle,
horses and man blown high in the air and
the horses and cart fell into the hole. Tho
driver landed IN the street. and was only slight
ly hurt. Several workmen standing near der
rick were blown across the street and either
killed or injured. and number of pedestrians
were hurt by falling glass and signs from the
business houses both sides of Market and
9th streets
Those portions Of the subway that were not
covered with dirt burst into flames. Firemen
were quickly on the spot, but water was of little
use owing to the fact that the flames were
shooting from dozens of gaspipes and a large
gas main. Dirt was then resorted to, and in
the course Of a couple Of hours all the flames
had been eXtinguished except those from the
large main. This not put out until nearly
10 o'clock and only after hole had been dug
in the street near the subway and the main
plugged UP.

Orchard TilIage and Cover Crops
IL. B. Judson, Idaho Exp. sta.

IL. B. Judson, Idaho Exp. Sta.)
Clean culture for young orchards
for several years after setting is the
rule followed, or at least believed in,
by most growers in the Pacific north
west, and it is not likely any better
will be found. Nothing promotes the
thrift and vigor of young trees without
undue stimulation like thorough til
lage and many find the practice good
enough for permanent use. Loosen
the ground up thoroughly in the spring
and then give a shallow cultivation
about once in two weeks, and always
after a rain, up to the middle of Aug
ust 1t is unwise to continue culti-
waiting after that time because late
growth is stimulated only to be winter
killed. Weeds that come up after
August 18th are easily turned under
in the spring and are actually benefic-
ial as a light .>anure. For the first
cultivation some tool that will stir the
ground to a depth of four or five
inches is desirable. Some find the
right-lap cutaway disk very effective,
or riding cultivator, but good results
can be obtained with the cheaper
spring tooth harrow, deeply set The
pillow is too slow and leaves trouble
some dead burrows. For following
this deep cultivation and establishing
a perfect dust blanket or mulch, the
smooth harrow, Acme harrow, and
clod masher are useful. The Kimball
cultivator is a good weed destroyer in
loose ground. In our station orchards
the Acme has been found very effect
i've in maintaining the dust mulch,
and it is simpler and cheaper than
most riding cultivators.
But clean cultivation as a perma'
nent policy is attended by serious
drawbacks, especially in the irrigated
districts Though it is highly efficient
in conserving moisture and keeping
down weeds, it hastens the exhaustion
of the humus, which, together with
the decaying vegetable matter from
which it arises, makes the soil fertile,
friable, and retentive of moisture
Humus imparts a dark color to the
soil, and light colored ones are nearly
always deficient in it. To maintain
this material unimpaired or to in
crease it where deficient, is one of the
important problems in orchard tillage.
gion suffer in time from depletion OF
vegetable matter if subjected to con-
slant clean cultivation but the evil
results of the latter are most promptly
manifested in the arid regions, where
this material is deficient from the
start A typical case came to my
notice few years ago in a prune or
chard near Boise. The owner had at
tempted to irrigate his trees by the
common method of running the water
in burrows between the rows, but was
dismayed to find that it scarcely
"subbed" at all, and even after run
ming the water continuously for three
weeks the ground three feet from
the ditch was as hard and dry as
though the water had never been near
it.
In this dilemma he decided to try
cover crop of clover. After it had be-
come we'll established he cut the first
crop each year for hay, but allowed
the second to grow at will. Each
spring the orchard was disked thor
oughly each way till not a spear OF
