made. About one,fourth OF each OF
the original 40 plots was seeded at
this date. The narrowing was con,
tinued on the remaining portion until
August 3rd, when the final seeding was
made. No nurse crop was used on
any OF the seedlings. Conditions of
seeding were made as nearly alike as
possible. The May seeding had the
usual competition with foxtail. The
plots wede clipped as necessary to keep
this weed from seeding. Both July
and August seedlings started off
promptly without any weed competi-
tion. BY September the July seeding
was 10 to ~ inches high. II was
clipped September 9th. This clipping
was not removed, though II doubtless
would have been saved for hay but for
unfavorable weather The August
seeding was not clipped Both the
July and August seedlings went into
the winter In most excellent condi-
ton, with a growth OF 10 10 Inches.
While portions Of the May seeding
were good. as whole II was much
inferior aud large portions were apI
parently ruined.

The contest is the result Of a long

convinced Of the others skill, both or

Isle of Pines Decision
TangLeS Cuban Affairs
Almost AlIof the Isle Is Owned by Americans
and Cuba Has Been Very Harsh
to Investors Here.

and insisting that it was an outrage for
this Government to desert citizens who
In good faith had assumed the island
belonged TO this country.
The Cuban government has been ac-
cused OF outrageous treatment of Amer
leans living in the island. and many Of
these charges have been so well au-
thenticated that II is Impossible to
70 doubt that there is much basis for
them. Americans were jailed for the
most trivial ofIenses. Large numbers
Of people from Pennsylvania and Iowa
had gone TO the island and engaged in
business; great sums had been Invested
there by Americans, so that 1t was al
legged before the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations last winter that the
greater part Of the islands area was
owned by citizens OF this country. But
the decision Is that the island belongs to
Cuba
1t Is considered almost certain that the
Havana government. now being assured
Of supreme power there, will assume an
attitude toward American interests more
oppressive than ever, and that compd-
cations will be inevitable. The Amer
lean owners Of property there are GER
tain to make themselves heard soon If
the Cuban government proves as unfair
10 them as they expect. Indeed, par
fisans OF annexation are vigorously
cheering the decision, which they say
will do more 10 bring about that con-
clusion than anything else that could
have taken place at this time.

PRESIDENT GRANTS
PEARY NEW LEAVE
To Match His Sledges With
Walter Wellman'S
Airship.

Commander Robert r. Peary, civil en-
gineer of the navy. after having made
three dashes into the frozen North and
having reached the point nearest the
pole that has ever been trOd by human
being, has been granted a new leave II
absence of three years in order that he
may prosecute his long conducted
search for the North Pole. Commander
Peary's application was granted by Sec
rotary Metcalf, after it had been passed
upon by the President.
Commander Peary is prosecuting his
preparations for beginning his fourth
northward journey as soon as f,ossible
after the season opens. possibly as early
as the 1st Of June IL sufficient financial
backing has been rsised for him by
that time. The explorer has ordered a
crew Of men to proceed 10 the Roosevelt
to put the ship In trim condition for a
voyage that is expected to be more try
ing than any craft ever before has en-
countered.
It had not become definitely known 10
the officials OF the Navy Department
until yesterday that Commander Peary
proposed TO make HIS next attempt this
summer. When he returned last No
vember X was understood that he de-
sired year or more to carry out plans
for his next expedition. during which
time be hoped TO have the Roosevelt

in the most essential particulars for ice
work
The little fling Walter Weilman hand
ed out on his arrival in Washington last

would never prove to be successful, has
spurred the navy's explorer TO renewed
energies and enthusiasm, II is said,
with tho result that he has determined
70 set out at the earliest possible mo-
meut IN the hope Of not only locating
the pole, but TO accomplish this hazard
Gus feat before Mr.. Weilman does.

Gift to Pope.

The board of trustees OF the Catholic
University OF America met at 10 o'clock
this morning IN Caldwell Hail. when
the question of increasing Americas
contribution to Peters Pence to a
million dollars was taken up. Cardinal

more yesterday morning, presided at
the meeting. which viii be concluded
probably this afternoon so that the ma
Jority OF its members may attend the
gathering OF the hierarchy tomorrow
morning.
In the discussions before the board
this morning the financial and academic
conditions OF the university formed
the chief topic.
Many Church Dignitaries.
Among the Catholic ecclesiastIcs who
are now in Washington. are Cardinal
Gibbons. Archbishop Williams. OF Bos-
ton; Archbishop Ryan, OF Philadelphia:
Archbishop Farley. Of New York;
Archbishop Ireland, OF st. Paul; Arch
bishop Keane, of Dubuque; Archbishop

COnslQerADie interest attaches 20 the
meeting tomorrow morning Of the
Catholic hierarchy OF America. This
body includes ali the American arch
bishops and bishops, and its delibera-
tions viii OF only be given 10 questions
Affecting the Catholic University and
other educational institutions, but to
matters pertaining to the church In this
country. its betterment, and any new
light that may be shed on church
methods by the heads Of dibeeses. It
will be an important meeting and Will
probably consume the entire day.
An important question came up in
the proposed increase Of Peters Pence,
the collection that is annually taken
up in the churches Of America for the
Vatican It is the desire Of the board
that this collection reach $1,000 600 8
year, and In order that this may be ac-
compiished, the bishops viii urge their
respective diCCeses TO show a proper
spirit Of generosity. There has not
been, as reported, a complaint from
Rome regarding the amount gathered
annually IN America. On the contrary,
the Pope has been highly pleased at the
showing the church in this country
has made and has lost no opportunity
20 make his pleasure known.

adjourned at I o'clock this afternoon
and Mgr O'COnneil, rector of the uni
versity, entertained the members at

twitter of skimming swallows
