Easily Grown BuIbous Plants.


The amateur gardener should find
room in his garden for gladioli and
tuberoses. Several dozen of the hybrid
Lemoine and CHILDISH gladioi will be
valuable for cutting purposes. In any
soil where corn grows well they viii
bloom abundantly. They do best
where the soil is quite sandy. The
same is true of the tuberose, the
single varities of which are usually
considered the more artistic. The
bulbs of the gladion and tuberoses in
crease every year. thus enabling one
to increase the size OF his collection
All OF the lilies are grand and do
we'll in sunny locations and rich, well
drained soil. The golden-banded Jap
anese lilies are very pretty, with rich
markings. Some of our native lilies
are extremely handsome, such as
Lilium superba and Lilium canadense.
The Madonna lily is one of the most
beautiful of the hardy white lilies and
is very good for cutting.
The poker plant is a very satisfac-
tory hardy dubious plant, and If
planted in mass gives a blaze of color
for many weeks during the latter
part of the season. Hybrid snap
dragons are excellent for cutting as
well as effective in an outdoor bed for
display.

steady growth of temperance in the
United States due to various factors. in

After Insurance Company.

Seattle, Wash, June 6-On the
complaint of State Mine Inspector
Botting, DIR. Livingstone, surgeon for
the Pacific Coast Co, at Black Dia-
mond, and other prominent men, Dep
uty Insurance Commissioner Schive-
ley has taken measures against the
Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Co.,
and its agents here under the anti
rebate law of 1906. Botting, Living
stone and several others, it is alleged
were induced to take advisory board
policies, through which they were en-
titled to a rebate or commission on
it's insurance written by the company
through their aid. This practice is
held to be illegal under the law
against rebates and on Monday a
hearing will be had at Olympia, which
may result in putting the company out
of business in this state.

South American RepA@x
q.
May Withdraw.
DRAGO DOCTRINE THE CAUSE
THERE MAY BE A SPLIT IN THE
PAN AMERICAN CONGRESS BE-
CAUSE THE PROGRAMME CON-
MITTEE IGNORED A REQUEST
OF ARGENTINE.

Washington, June 6.-Argentine is
not pleased with the programme
agreed upon for the third Pan-Ameri-
can congress be held in Rio Jeneiro
in July and 1t win require all the
skill of which Secretary Root is pos
sessed to prevent the withdrawal of
several of the Latin American repub-
lies from the congress-. Although Ar
gentine is more dissatisfied than any
other South or Central American pow
er there are several republics which
are far from pleased with the pro-
gramme and sympathlze with the
slight which Argentine feels.
The Drago doctrine is the cause of
Argentines grievance.
1t was the desire of Mr.. Portal. the
Argentine minister, that the Drago
doctrine should be one of the subjects
considered at the Rio Janeiro congress.
This doctrine, which was promulgated
by the celebrated Argentine iurist, L.
f. Drago, at the time of the Venezue-
Ian blockade by Germany, Great Brit
ain and Italy, holds that force cannot
be used by one power to collect money
owed to it's citizens by another power.
After much discussion the committee
on the programme for the congress
prepared the following section relat-
Ing to the general subject covered by
the Drago doctrine.
Resolutions commencing that the
second peace conference at The Hague
be requested to consider the extent
to which the use of force for the col
lection of public debts Is admissible
This statement of the subject was very
distasteful to Argentine and several
other powers.

for arrest of Secretary of State Wall
ter L. Houser, charging attempted

Demand Flat Rate.

Denver, Col, June 6.-One of the
State Beet Growers association which
opened its annual convention here to-
day, is the question of regulating the
prices to be paid by the sugar mills
The sugar mill men have insisted that
the price paid for the beets should be
regulated according to the amount OF
sugar contained in the beets. To this
the beet growers object, as they be-
lieye that the fixing of the price ac-
cording to a sliding scale would cause
no end of trouble and confusion. They
demand fiat rate and it is believed
that they will not consider any propo-
sition involving departure from the
fiat rate. The matter will be thor
oughly discussed in the convention.

ASSASSINATE MANY
ROOSEVELT, KING EDWARD AND
EMPEROR WILLIAM DOOMED.
Reds Have Decided on General Ex-
termination of the Government
Heads of Several Countries Accord
ing to Secret Service Reports.

Wilmington, Del, June 6.--Accord-
ing to a secret service agent at werk
here, the attempted assassination of
King Alfonso and the new queen of
Spain is believed to have been a part
of an organized attempt by the ''reds"
to do away with the rulers of the prin-
cipal countries of the world.
Included in the list, detectives say
from information they have obtained,
are President Roosevelt, Emperor
William, King Edward and the car of
Russia.
Such movement on the part of the
"reds" in this country would be al
most impossible to apprehend until
attempts were actually made.
When the Washington police and
secret service officers found that some
sixty supposed Italian anarchists
whom the immigration authorities had
under surveillance at Baltimore had
disappeared they instituted a vigor-
Gus search of nearby cities.
None of the officials could find trace
of them in Washington and they be-
lieve that five or six have found their
way into the Italian quarters here and
four or five others have gone to Pat
erson, N. r. Philadelphia, Newark
and New York also are under constant
surveillance by detectives of the inn
migration bureau.
Throughout the coming month a
strict watch will be kept by the Off
Gals over every colony of reds in the
country All knowledge of any re-
cent arrivals In the Italian quarter
here Is disclaimcd by prominent Ital-
ians.

LUBMEMBERS SORE. E.DUG UP SCANDALS
BOYER FURNISHED SOME SEN.
SATloNAL STATEMENTS.
He Testified Not Only to Taking Pres
ents of Stock, But Also to Having
Received Rake-off on Coal
Purchases.

Philadelphia, June 6.-The inter-
state commerce commission today con-
tinued it's investigation of the relations
of the Pennsylvania railroad officials
and the employees to various mining
companies in the bituminous coal dis
tricts. The first witness was Joseph
Boyer of Altoona chief clerk in the
Office of A. w. Gibbs, superintendent
of motive power. Boyer said he had
200 shares of stock in the Jamison
Coal Co. given to him for his one third
interest in the MacLaren Coal Co The
MacLaren stock was given to him by
Jamison. He also had ten shares in
the Valley Coal Co. and fifteen in
Eedri Coal Co, which We're presented
to him by Capt. Alfred Hicks. Ten
shares of Preston Coal Co. stock were
sent to him in an envelope. He was
not certain who sent it but thought
it might have come from Joseph Aiken,
a railroad man, or FL. A. Kuhn, an
operator. All of these stocks paid
dividends. Mr. Boyer said also that
he holds an interest amounting to $8,-
600 in undeyeloped coal lands on West
Pennsylvania division. He paid for
this stock
In his capacity as purchaser of fuel
coal he testified that he had receiv-
ed from five companies an allowance
Of from to cents ton on the coal
used by the railroad for fuel purposes.

Of 1903 to date he had received a to-
tai of more than $4,000.

Trouble Between Gar and
Parliament Serious.
DISTURBANCES SPREADING
POLITICAL CONDITIONS IN RUS
STA ARE RAPIDLY NEARING
THE CRISIS AND THE GOVERN
MENTAL POLICY HAS PROVEN A
PRONOUNCED FAILURE.

St. Petersburg, June 6.--The lower
house of parliament and the govern
ment are rapidly coming to CLOSE
quarters and the conflict, which be-
came inevitable the moment the pop
ular emblypresentedits demands in
the address to the throne, cannot be
much longer delayed.
Excitement in the interior is in
begun at Kieff, Odessa, Moscow and
other cities and peasants in some
provinces are no longer restrainable
and have commenced to seize the land
of the proprietors.
The leaders of the constitutional
democrats in the lower house. who, for
tactical reasons, first sought to post
pone the conflict in order to be able
to choose the time and the place for
battle realize that they must go with
the tide and the government, which
equally sought to calmly ignore the
extra constitutional demands of the
house and sent ministers to the house
with concilatory speeches, realizes
that the governmental policy has
failed.
Since the government declines to
give satisfaction regarding the con-
tinued executions in the provinces or
to bring to book he local officials
whose tyranny is tanning the flames
of popular Indignation, the parlia-
ment has had no alternative except
that of immediate insistence on it's
demand for the dismissal of the cab
met.
The scene at yesterdays session
when the house refused to listen to
the ministers and practically drove
them from the rostrum, clearly pre-
sents the issue.
The emperor must dismiss the cabi-
| net or fight.

NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS.
Senate Passed Measure Calling for
Over Hundred Millions.


Washington, June 6.-The senate to-
day passed the naval appropriation
bill and also gave considerable atten-
ton to the conference report on the
railroad rate bill. The only important
amendment made to the naval bill was
one requiring the secretary of the navy
to submit the plans of the proposed
big Warships to congress before pro-
ceeding with its consideration. The
bill carries a total appropriation of
$103,117,670.
There is no doubt that the rate bill
will be sent back to conference. Sem
ator Tillman admitted there was some
changes in conference which could not
be justified under the rules, but said
they had been necessary in order to
make the bill harmonious.
Senator Foraker criticized the
changes in the anti-pass provision, the
addition compelling connections with
lateral lines and the omission of the
provision regarding Jim Grow" cars.
The discussion of the report will con-
tinue in the senate.
