SPANISH TARIFF LAW WAITS
Government Has DImcuIty In EnfOr-
einE Law supposed TO BE
Effective In July

MADRID, Oct s-CSpecal Cablegram TO
The Bee 1.-The new Spanish tariff remains
In kind of suspended animation. Before
1t should have come into operation. on July
last the British government represented
to Spain that the new duties would anect
the trade in British woolens and cottons'
in machinery and cutlery and other manu-
factures, and also seriously in coal. Al
the same time Spanish ministers are in ac-
tive negotiation with various foreign gov
ernments for the Encouragement of COM
mercial treaties.
America has practically come under an
agreement whereby it is to pay the mini
mum duties of the new tariff for the pres
ent. and obtain the benefit OF any reduc-
tons that may be made in the most favored
nation scale hereafter. In return for ac-
cordlng INSTRUMENTATION treatment to
Spanish goods. Special reductions, how
ever, will be granted on the duties on Span
ish wines and fruit entering the United
States under the clause of the Dingiey act
which authorizes the president to make
! such concessions without referring to con-
gress. Under this agreement America OBJ
tains equal treatment with the great manu-
| featuring countries of Europe, and also
with the producers of breadstuffs like Rus
sia and Roumania. The hope and expecta-
tion of the Spanish government is to ef-
feet similar agreements with all the South
American republics, but this at present
seems at best doubtful. Switzerland, the
repeal of the treaty with which was the
| immediate cause of the all-round fiscal dis
turbance, has not yet agreed TO a new
commercial treaty. and has not even as
sented to a modus vivendi by continuing
the old convention till the end Of the year,
though it is stated in Madrid that negotia-
| tions have at last been opened at Berne
which promise an amicable settlement.
Meanwhile, however. Spanish goods enter
| ing Switzerland are paying the highest
duties on the Swiss tariff plus a surcharge
OF 80 per cent, and Swiss goods entering
! Spain also pay the highest duties. plus 30
per cent. Such are the practical pleas
| tries OF tariff quarrels. Germany has
struck convention with Spain to place
their respective imports on most-favored-
nation treatment until the end of this year,
by which time it is hoped that a new
| treaty will be drafted German goods en-
tering Spain are. therefore, now paying the
duties in the second column of the revised
| Spanish tariff. while Spanish goods enter
| ing Germany are taxed on the lowest scale
OF the imperial tariff France and Italy
have been till now. as standofish as Switz-
erland. France is next to Great Britain,
the largest customer of Spain The trade
! has suffered through protectionism on both
sides. and France now resents the summary
| termination OF the most characterization
agreement which has existed between the
two countries for dozen years

SPANISH INVENTOR HOPEFUL
With Aid, He May Find WAY to
Guide ships from

BILBOA Oct. Especial Cablegram 10
The Bee )-Senor Leonardo Torres cue
vsdo, the inventor OF the, '"Teleklno" an
electrical apparatus for directing from land
the movements of vessels at sea who is
now in Bilboa. was asked by King Alfonso
TO MAKE experiments with his invention
from Giralda, The apparatus was placed
on board the royal yacht and Queen Vie
toriu. who had seen the telekino before
followed the trials with great interest.
Her uHJes.y ioid he Inventor what move
ment2 she wished the boat TO make, and
senor 'furres Qucvedo, carrying out her
instructions, caused the craft 10 4urn or
stop with admirable facility. Finally the
crnft was brought alongside the Giralda
and their majesties congratulated the en-
gineer on his invention.
Senior Torres Quevedo is assisted i'm his
experiments by a subvention from the
state. As the boat works automatically
and does not carry any crew, there Is A
risk that II the transmitting anna r;,l lus
becomes damaged the vessel would con-
tinue it's course without direction. Ths
inventor has accordingly added another
automatic arrangement. which comes Into
action as soon as the Hertzian current
ceases, and causes the boat 10 stop. The
telekino is a serious invention capable of
controlling any machine. II even directs 4
the movement of tricycles, carriages and
boats. which obey the wishes Of the in
ventor with minute precision.
Senor Torres Quevedo Informed King
Alfonso he Is about To carry out expert
ments on vast scale with vessels of
large tonnage. When the tcIelino host
was alongside the Giralda his majesty
went aboard and received from the enej-
neer detailed description OF the an

CAPE HAS RAILWAY PROBLEM
Natal said to Have Played sharp
Trick ON other british
Colony.

JOHANNESBURG, Oct. 6,-(Specal
Cablegram TO The Bee.) South Africa like
the United States. is havng a vast deal
of trouble over railway rates. In thi par
ticular case. however, the deadlock appears
to have arisen between the various South
African railway administrations as a re-
suit of the opening of the new line from
Bethlehem TO Kroonstad IL will be re-
menibered that the line was constructed
by the Natal government under an agree
ment which has long been public property.
The rates which the Central South Afri-
can railway We're prepared to allow Natal
To charge in respect OF il were based on
that agreement. and were published last
February. Briefly, they represent "the
most-favored-nation treatment that Is to
say, the Cape rates were always certain
To enable Natal to capture certain
amount Of the trade of the Orange river
colony which was previously given to the
Cape In other words the Cape has now
been placed in the same position with re-
spect to that area as the construction Of
the Klerksdrop- Fourteen Streams railway
had already placed Natal in with. respect
to the western Transvaal Tho two cases
are precisely peiaiiel though there is no
official connoction between them.
In June the Cape government began a
tremendous protest and very soon trans
lated the protest into action by announcing
that they would grant rebates on traffic in
the disputed area. This sudden move seems
really to have spoiled their case. seeing
that It absolutely violated their agreement
with the other administrations More
over. IL was made Immediately after an
appeal To Lord Selborne 10 ac, as mediator
in the whole controversy. Nevertheless.
Lord Selborpo devoted the whole Of July
and August to AN effort to effect an amic-
able arrangement either by way OF confer
cnce or by submission of the case To arld-
tTstion. Ills efforts proved abortive owing
to tho refusal Of tho Cape government "a
suspend their rebates msanwhile and tue
high commissioner has now yielded 10 an
appeal from the authorities Of the Central
South African railways TO allow them Ia
counteraet these rebates by the imposition
OF eountervailing rates on their own section

That is the present position of affairs.

In my search for facts in regard to
the alfalfa plant as d pasture, | have
found a wide difference in opinion as
to the intrinsic value; but by a series
of experiments on my trial grounds l
have proven to my own satisfaction
that it can be used very successfully
az pasture ami without damage TO
the stock, provided the animals are
not turned to pasture except with tull
stomachs. Cattle are so fond Of the
alfalfa plant that they eat Of ii greed

and the result is blOat and loss Of

l never pasture alfalfa while the
dew is on or just after a rain. 1t is
claimed by many that cattle can be
accustomed to alfalfa pasture by be-
ing allowed to feed for a short period
each day and gradually lengthen tha
time until they can cat it without ap-
parent danger; but cannot speak au-
thoritatively on this, as my expert
ments along this line are as yet in
their infancy; but believe the safest
plan is to mix the alfalfa seed with
other grasses and clovers,
have found the following a good
combination: One part each of alfalfa,
red clover and timothy TO three parts
each Of orchard grass and cromus in
ertis,
While people differ in opinion as TO
the value of alfalfa as a pasture, when
It comes to a hay crop each one has
proclaimed it a bonanza Alfalfa on
suitable land will yield five tons Of
cured hay per acre, while the feeding
value Of one acre of corn is rarely
equivalent to three tons of alfalfa hay.
Animals accustomed to the use OF al
falfa hay never tire of it, and it has
been asserted that they will leave
fresh green pastures to feed from a
stack of alfalfa

THE AUTHoR.MANs SURPRISE
Little story with a Sequel That Is
Hard 70 Guess.

Upon a certain day we're was an
author-man who needed the money;
so he sat down and took up that OBJ
iect which is reputed to be mightier
than the sword and wrote piece.
Having finished his article, he went
to the post office, purchased some
milling stamps and mailed the piece
TO the editor. Then he waited for the
child of his brain to make its way
back to his mantel piece, accompan-
led by a warm note from the editor
saying that, owing to a redundancy
of similar matter, he was compelled
to reject the piece, although this ac-
ton wrenched his heart strings to
such an extent as to almost drag that
organ from its moorings. However,
this rejection was to be considered as
in nowise a condemnation of the mer-
It Of the article, etc, etc.
The near-author waited a spell, but
the letter that he looked for but
dreaded, never came Now, dear
reader, we give you three guesses as
to the fate of the manuscript. Nope;
all wrong. The piece was accepted.
This is it.-Judge.

wEEVIL IN PEAS.
Applications Of Carbon ai-sulphlds
viii Do the Business.

Peas and beans are subject to at.
tack by several species of "weevils, %
which are not the same as the weevils
of wheat. corn and other cereal
grains. but which fortunately are sub
iect to the same remedial treatment.
Since many eggs are deposited in the
peas while they are ripening in the
field. these viii hatch out after the
peas are stored. SO that NO method OF
efiecualy preventing the first intesta.
ton by the weeyils is known, But
if the peaces are stored in a tight
bin it is then possible, and indeed,
quite easy to llll them. by two tumt-
cations with the chemical known as
carbon bisulphide This liquid may
be had Of druggists at about 80 cents
per pint. and should be used at the
rate of about ll2 tablespoonful to
every 100 pound of peas. 1t may be
thrown directly on the peas, dashing II
on m several places about over the
bin, or it may be placed in several
shallow saucers, which are then
placed in the bin on the peas. In
either case cover the bin at once with
heavy blanket oil cloth or canvas
to- prevent the escape of the fumes.
Leave for day before removing the
cover, and repeat the treatment with
in week or ten days later These
two treatments will not hurt the peas
either for sowing or for food,
There is one caution which must
be observed in using this remedy and
that Is that no fire, not even a lighted
pipe, cigar lamp, etc. can be allowed
around the bin while the treatment is
being given. The liquid and its fumes
are iufammable.
l find that the greatest difficulty
in the way of using this treatment
among our farmers is that they have
not the tight bins that are necessary
TO do thorough work. If the bin is
not tight, it can be compensated for
in part by increasing the amount OF
the chemical used but if there are so
many cracks that air circulates freely,
it is almost impossible to do salts
