Trouble is Feared.

Washington.-Trouble is all that the
State Department can see in the inter
national conference at Algeciras. The
officials are decidedly pessimistic in
their comments on the situation, and
the statement was made: If no agree
ment is reached at Algeciras 1t VIII be
because Germany desires war. France
has made several concessions and the
situation is now as If they were up
AGAINST a stone wall and could not
sidestep." 1t also has been said re-
peatedly that Morocco has but a small
Significance in the entire international
discussion and that European politics
constitute the paramount subject OF
discussion and of action.

SUGAR BEET VICTORY.
Philippine Tarin Bill Killed by senats
Committee.


Washington.-By vote OF eight tc
five Friday the Senate committee on
the Philippines defeated the Payne
bill. which had passed the House by a
vote of 25s to IL.
The action OF the committee had
been foreshadowed for nearly a week.
although the exact vote had not been
known.
The senators voting for the bill
were: Lodge, Beveridge. Long. Car
mack and McCreary.
The negative votes were: Hale, Bur
rows, Dick. Nixon. Brandegee. Culber-
son, Dubois. Stone
After this decisive action bad been
taken, Mr.. McCreary moved that the
bill be reported to the Senate ad-
versely. in order to give the Senate
a chance to consider it.
Mr.. Brandegee moved to table the
motion and this was carried by n vote
of to 6, Mr.. Nixon voting with the
minority on this proposition.
This action effectually disposes of
the measure, unless the chairman
luton.
After Brandegee's proposal that the
bill should be tabled, Mr.. Lodge. the
chairman, addressed the committee
He said the course proposed was un-
usual and that there could be no good
purpose accomplished in thus prevent
ing the Senate from reviewing the
action of the committee IL 1t desired.
The opponents of the bill made no
reply.
After the bill had been effectually
disposed of, Mr.. McCreary moved to
report his bill. which provided for
free trade with the Philippines imme-
diately.
This motion was lost, only four SEN
ators voting in the affirmative. They
were McCreary, Culberson, Carmack
and stone.
The Payne bill provided for the re-
duction of duty on sugar, tobacco and
rice imported from the Philippines. to
thirty-two per cent. of the Dingley
schedules. and for absolute free trade
after three years.

Ten pounds of alfalfa hay, says. a
farm paper, will produce as much milk
as nine pounds. of bran. They have
nearly the same chemical composition
and are similar in the matter of bulki-
ness, so what is the use of buying bran

grown for one-fourth the price?

Ira's Accurate A1arksmanshtn.

E. M. Chapman, Ira Stanley and
Joe Craig, each armed with shotgun
and rifle, were on deer and par
fridge hunting expedition near Bruno
from Saturday to Tuesday. They
scared up hundreds of partridges and
shot exactly bakers dozen. Of deer
they saw at least score and scared
them away with yells of excitement.
One big buck appeared in clearing
about. fifty yards from where Ira
Stanley stood and continued to browse
while Ira fired eleven bullets at it.
Finding that he could make no i'm
preston upon the buck, Ira yelled to
Elmer Chapman, who was about two
hundred yards from him, and the beast
waited for no more bullets. While it
needed not the rifle report it seemed to
entertain an aversion to the human
voice.

tions of new alfalfas have been made
from time to time from foreign coun-
tries. Several years ago the depart
ment introduced number from Tur-
kestan, which have been tried very
thoroughly and have proved valuable
in some sections.
Prof. Hansen, before going to ST.
IBERIA, visited northern Norway and
Sweden, with view to finding new
crops which might be of value in the
cold arid lands of the United States.
The alfalfa he has discovered has a
yellow flower, instead of a blue. It is
a native of the dry steppes of Siberia
and grows we'll where the mercury falls
to 80 or 40 below zero. The country
is exceedingly dry, and yet the new
alfalfa is an excellent forage plant.
Prof. Hansen has secured the seed,
and it will receive thorough test in
the near future by the department.
The department of agriculture believes
this new Siberian alfalfa may prove a
boon to the cold, dry northwestern
sections of the United States, where
the durum wheat, introduced by the
department. several years ago, has
already proved successful.

A Hardy Alfalfa.

After twice risking his life and once
nearly losing it, in the interest of
agricultural science, Prof. N. E. Han
sen, of the South Dakota experiment
station of the department. of 2agricul-
ture, has found in Northern Siberia
an alfalfa suited to the lands of the
northwest. Prof. Hansen got on the
track of the alfalfa year ago, but
was so late in searching for it that he
was badly frozen in Siberia. Despite
this experience, he made another trial
this year, and has just informed Sec
retary Wilson that he has been sue
cessful, and is on his way back with
seed.
The department of agriculture,
through the bureau of plant industry,
has been engaged for a number Of
years in encouraging the growth of
alfalfa in various parts of the United
States. Owing to the wide variation
in soil and climate in this country.
great difficulty has been experienced
IN securing the types of alfalfa suited

dians since June 2l, when the act be-
came effective, and that 25O allotment
mortgages had been fled at Detroit
and many more in Norman county.
'The Office at once telegraphed it's
agent at White Earth to investigate
the matter, and he answered by tele-
graph on July 10 that many of the
mixed bloods had taken ADVANTAGE of
the provisions of the act to sell or
mortgage their lands: that some of
them were squandering the proceeds
for intoxicants, but that this was true
only of a limited number and that no
case had come under his observation
where an Indian had first been piled
with liquor to secure his consent to
dispose of his land.
Though not SO bad, therefore, as
indicated by newspaper. publication,
conditions were bad enough to justify
the stand taken by this Office while
legislation was pending. I am now
making such an investigation of in
dividual cases where sharp practice is
charged as will enable me to turn over
the facts to the local prosecuting at
torney for such action against wrong
doers as the law may warrant" --.

Aluminium PAPER in GERMANY,

Aluminium paper is now manufac-
tured in Germany and recommended
as a substitute for tin foil. The paper
used is a sort of artificial parchment
obtained through the action of sui.
phuric acid upon ordinary paper.
The sheets are spread out and covered
upon one side with thin coating OF
a solution of rosin in alcohol or ether.
Evaporation is hastened by means of
current of air, and the paper is then
warmed until the rosin has again be-
come soft. Then powdered aluminium
is sprinkled upon it, and the paper is
subjected to strong pressure to fasten
the powder thereon. Golden grain
belt beer is sanitarilys and scientif-
cally brewed and should go into the
homes as nerve, builder and health
maker. Order. of your nearest dealer

Luxuries were purchased by the
United States from abroad to the ex-
tent of 800, 100000 during the fiscal
year 1906, according to the tabula-
tions of the bureau of statistics of the
department. of congress and labor.
These luxuries are classified as dia-
monds and other precious stones, of
which $40, 900, 900 were imported; laces,
edgings, embroideries and ribbons,
$40, ,000,000; feathers, natural and arti-
fetal, s7,0o0,0OO; champagne, s6,OO0,-
900, and miscellaneous, such as per-
fumes, toilet articles, smokers articles
and opium for smoking.
Tobacco, cigars and cigarettes were
imported to the value of 5000, 900.
This is more than double the amount
spent abroad for such articles a de-
cade ago. The item of largest in
crease in the above list is said to be
diamonds, as the value for 1896 did
not reach S8,OOO,OO0.
Opium for smoking was imported
in the fiscal year just ended to the
value of 81, ,250,OO0, as compared with
$4,000 in 1896.
