The story goes that the present Duke
Of Atholl devised most original method
CT seed-sowing. On one portion of his
property are some inaccessible rocks,
which have been guiltless of green leaf
for centuries. Some ancient cannon
happened to lie near at hand, and by the
dukes order these were charged with
tin cannisters filled with seeds of hardy
plants and shrubs and fired straight into
the cracks in the rocks A little soil
had collected there and the experiment
is said to have been crowned with sue

symptoms Return

Washington, d. C.--Elihu Root
secretary of state, is to retire from
President Roosevelt's cabinet within a
month or two. incidentally, he will
quit political life permanently. 1t Is
the second time Mr.. Root has made up
his mind that the practice of law is
more suited to his liking than the in
tricacies of International diplomacy,
but this time, he has confided to
friends, he means to keep his word,
though presidential boom has been
started for him by Senator Scott of
West Virginia.
Mr.. Roots health and his disinclina.
tion to remain in public life are the
basis Of his present intention to retire
as quickly as possible. He has worked
SO hard that his nervous system is in
anything but satisfactory condition.
Rest and exercise for month last
summer benefited him much, but re-
sumption of arduous mental work has
brought on a return of the symptoms.
His closest friends have informed him
that he needs rest; at any rate, a
change, which he can find to better
advantage in his law office than in
any other way. He Is of the same
opinion.

DuLANEY BRIBERY CASE.

Little Rock, Ask-The case Of the
state VS.. A. ID. Dulaney, one of the
most prominent members of the
last two sessions Of the general as
sembly, was called for trial Wednes-
day. The defendant is charged with
bribery in connection with what is
known as the physical contact" tel.
ephone measure, which came before
the legislature in 1905. He is alleged
to have accepted bribe of 5000 from
A. j. Kizer, president of the Kizer
Telephone Company of Texarkana for
his vote to kill the measure.
Dulaney is one of the youngest
members of the general assembly and

be taken up in securing jury. Over
100 men were summoned before a

FOR
FLEET VOYAGE
WORK OF REPAIRING AND PRO.
visIoNiNo VESSELS Is VEL
IN HAND.
WILL SAIL DECEMBER IS
The Cost OF Provisions for Force Of
$1,000 Men for One Hundred
Days Is Estimated at
About $375,o0O.

Washington-Every detail in the
preparations for the sailing of the bat
tleship fleet to the Pacific ocean is
now well in hand and by Dec. 16, the
date on which the vessels will pass
out of Hampton Roads in review be-
fore President Roosevelt, members of
his cabinet and high officers of the
navy, all arrangements for the COM
fort of the men en- route will have
been attended to.
At all of the navy yards the work
of making necessary repairs is being
pushed and these will be completed by
Dec. 1. Provisions are being stored
aboard the vessels and their coal
bunkers are being filled to their ca
pacity. Upon the recommendation of
Admiral Evans, four anchors will be
carried by each vessel, so as to be
ready for any emergency.
Provisioning Estimated at $375,ooo.
The cost of provisioning the feet
Is estimated at about $375,000, con-
templating the feeding of force of
$4,000 men for 100 days. Only last
week contracts were awarded for head
cheese, sausages and veal.
Advantage will be taken of the
ocean cruise of the battleships to
make several tests with the provisions
aboard-their preservation, packing
and handling. 1t is desired to find
some suitable form of bagging in
which to carry dried provisions, as it
is believed bags will afford the ad-
vantage of compactness and greater
facility in handling in difficult places
than If their contents were carried in
boxes or barrels.
Incidental to the visit of the fleet
to the Pacific coast, the navy depart
ment is making arrangements to OBJ
tain place for small arms firing
there, so as to give the men an oppor-
tunity for experience in that direction.
1t may be that improvised targets will
be established at Magdalena Bay,
where there is to be considerable tar
get practice, but the preference is to
secure land for the establishment of
ranges to accommodate 1000 men
day, as at Guantanamo.

BRYAN AT MILWAUKEE,.
Discusses the Money Stringency and
Says Western Banks Are Sound.

Milwaukee, Wis.-William Jennings
Bryan was the guest of honor at
banquet on the 21st anniversary of
the Jefferson Club of this city at
the Plankinton house Monday night.
Covers were laid for over five hundred
guests.
Among other things, he discussed
the present money stringency, saying
that 1t began with speculation in New
York, but that it had extended owing
to the timidity Of depositors. He
thought that this timidity was not JUS
titled and that the banks of the west
are sound. He favored legislation
which, by increasing the security of
depositors, would remove even an un-
reasonable fear.

MONEY IS EASIER
SEVERAL SUSPENDED BANKS
PREPARING TO RESUME.
FIFTY MILLION IN GOLD IMPORTED
Bankers Believe Normal Conditions
viii Be Restored inside Of
Sixty Days.

New York A distinct i'm
provement is to be noticed In the
banking and trust company position.
The larger banks, which were more or
less embarrassed in the early part of
last month, have now virtually adjust,
ed their affairs and are transacting
business on a normal basis. A num-
Der of the small institutions which
were compelled to suspend at the
same time are making preparations to
resume business. OF even greater i'm
portance was the partial rehabilita-
tion Of the affairs of the Trust Com
pany of America and the Lincoln
Trust Company.
$4,000, 900 In Gold Imported.
The total amount of imported goo
laid down in this city last week and
that now in transit exceeds S50,000,-
600. The sterling exchange situation
has naturally continued in very un-
settled state, the markets of each day
showing extremely wide fluctuations.
While the rates for sterling exchange
are, of course, far above the point at
which under normal conditions large
the premium on currency serves to
counterbalance the rates at which bus
mess is transacted.
Money Becoming Easier.
If money were not allowed to freely
circulate in the country all business
would stop, including the people who
are secreting funds. If there are per-
sons who have become distrustful of
the depository institution in which
their money is deposited, let them de-
posit it in another institution, but they
should bear in mind that in putting it
in safe deposit vaults or in bureau
drawers at home they are doing that
which will work to reduce their own
individual income more rapidly than
that of any other force that could be
imagined. Wall street itself, it is to
be noted, Is singularly composed un-
der the circumstance. Spectators
there, Judging from the way matters
have always turned out in the past,
are pretty confident as to what is like
ly to happen in the future. They
know that within ten days more near
ly $50,000,000 in new gold will be in
the country that will serve as basis
of an expansion of credits of over
$200,000,000. AS the premium on cur
rency is fast disappearing, money is
becoming easier and it is the belief of
the best bankers that within sixty
days money will be drug on tne mar
ket.
