KNOX PLAN IN FAVOR.
His Changes in Long Amendment TO
Rate Bill MAY Prevail.

Washington, April 1f.--Adoption Of
the Long amendment to the rate bill,
a. modified in accordance with sugges.
tions from Senator Knox, is looked upon
as the most promising solution of the
rate question in the Senate. Talk OF
agreements is declared on authority TO
be premature.
Senator Longs amendment would have
the commissions orders renewable by
the courts 10 determine if the commits.
sion exceeded its authority or violated
rights secured TO the carrier by the
constitution. This Knox would expand
so as to cover also rights secured ''by
the laws of the United States" He
would also enable the shipper or any
party aegrieved by the order to bring
suit. Attorney General Moody has adj
vised the president and the Others that
the changes suggested by Senator Knox
would not weaken the amendment.

BAILEY ON
RATE BILL
Urges Withdrawal Of Power
OF Suspension
in INFERIOR COURTS
The Senate Gallery Was Filled for His
Rate Bill Effort--Deals With the
Power of the
Courts.

Washington, April little Senate
galleries were crowded yesterday when
Mir. Bailey began his speech In support
Of his amendment to the railroad rate
bill. The Texas senator Immediately
entered upon the discussion Of his prop
osition looking to the withdrawal Of
the power of the inferior courts to sus-
pend the orders Of the interstate com
merce commission.
alf,' he said, Congress can destroy
proceedings in equity it can destroy
proceedings at law
This, he continued, had been conceded
by his opponents, as had also been the
point that the inferior courts derived
their power from acts OF Congress aud
not from the constitution direct. These
concessions left, as the only point, the
distinction between the judicial power
OF the United States and the irisdie,
ton of the federal courts-for which
Mr. Knox and Mr.. Spooner contend.
As for himself he considered this d
fine point---so fine, indeed, that he felt
it would go far to Justify MI. Tillman's
Characterization Of the refinements Of
the law.
1T Is difficult he said, 10 believe
that intalleets like those of the senators
frem Wisconsin and Pennsylvania can
contend for such an absurdity as they
do contend for in holding that when
Congress confers any power ON court
il confers all power on them
Mr.. Bailey undertook to show that
Congress has exercised the power to
abridge the right OF the courts to pun.
ish for contempt or to issue writs of
mandamus, asserting that the courts
have no inherent power, and that ut
is the duty of the federal courts not
to make the laws for Congress, but
to obey the law that Congress makes
for Them
If" he added, Congress has the
right to restrict the power to punish for
contempt, In Gods name has II not the
right to limit the power of injunction
which has been 20 greatly abused by
so many federal judges :"

At the recent meeting OF the National

port adopted from the committee on
agricultural statistics presents many
facts of great interest to the farmers
throughout the country and those de-
pendent upon them for their prosperity,
showing the large scope Of the work
OF the Department of Agriculture and
the enormous actual benefit which its
investigations have been to all or our

Departments methods of gathering
statistical information regarding grow.
ing crops, the National Board Of Trade

present methods. including the cutting
down of the great army OF farmers and
others who are called upon by the De-
partment for reports on conditions Of
their crops, and the reorganization of

from 210,396 acres In 1898. to a total
Of $4,000 acres In 1904, raising the
value OF the land from between $1.00
and $3.50 per acre to from $500 to
$4,000 per acre, and the output has been
increased from 179,919,293 pounds OF
rough rice In. 1898 to 1853. 436, 800 pounds
in 1904. In the matter of fruits, It will
be remembered that the Department
introduced the Bahia orange, known
as the Washington navel orange, which
has become the standard Grange
throughout California. More recently,
the Department has expended in the
neighborhood of ten thousand dollars
in the introduction Of the date p"'m
into Arizona and California and al
though sufficient time has not yet
elapsed to enable us to state positively
what the outcome will be, there ap-
pears no reason to doubt that an en-.
tirely new industry will be built up
in these sections as result Of the eff.
forts of the Department. The present
value Of date importations is, roughly
speaking, half million dollars. This
consists largely of the cheaper grades
of dates, the finer varieties from the
Sahara seldom coming to this. country
except In very small quantities. These
can undoubtedly be grown in our south

WHY FENCE WIRE RUSTS.
Department of Agriculture says
Farmers Use Cheap Material.


A bulletin setting forth the results Of
an investigation made by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture into the corrosion
of iron and steel wire fencing was H..
sued recently to the farmers of the
country. Many complaints have been
made to the department in the last
year regarding the present quality Of
iron an steel wire used n fencing, and
to improve these conditions, wit the
hope determining some remedy for
the corrosion, Secretary Wilson order
ed thorough investigation, an tn
perts anne to the conclusion that the
chief trouble is that the average arm.
9 insists on using the cheapest vir
for fencing, and the cheap wire natural.
ly corrodes.
The department claims that some
manufacturers hold that If it were pos
sible to make better grace or wire at
even a slightly higher price, 1t would
be useless to put 1t on the market, as
the American farmer would not buy It,
because he desires cheapness above
other consideration.
The result Of preliminary expert
ments made by the Agricultural De
partment pointed to the manganese In
the wire as undoubtedly being he CHIEF
cause Of the corrosion, and it Is stated
that the more manganese there is pres
emit in fence wire the quicker 1t will
rust or deteriorate.

which, from the present indications,
will be a question of only few years,
will have been due directly to the work
of the Department. Seeing the i'm
portance of developing our own sugar
beet and seed industry, plans were
formulated three years ago to encour-
age the growing of this seed. The
amount expended on this work, up to
date, including salaries and the an
nual cost of American grown seed for
distribution, will not exceed $4,000,
while the value Of the sugar beet seed
used in the United States is at least
half a million dollars annually, be-
sides the much greater value to the
sugar beet .lisers Of having seed
adapted to American conditions. A
conservative calculation shows that the

Of using higher grade seed than is
