Experiments Are Now Being Con-

San Francisco, Feb 5.--America
may some day grow it's own cork
trees, if experiments now being con-
Quoted at the National Plant Intro
duction garden at Chico, Cal, are
successful. Fifteen thousand cork
oaks are now being propagated from
acorns received from Spain. This is
the first attempt to introduce the
cork oak into America for CONNER
cial purposes.
The cork oak, from the bark of
which corks are manufactured, is
of Spanish origin and is the basis of
an important industry in Spain.
'About twenty years is required for
the tree to reach the commercially
valuable stage, when the outer bark
is removed. The trees continue to
thrive, however, and yield an annual
crop of bark.

The session of the national execu-

TENSION IS RELAXING

popular governmental nervousness
remains. The political tension is
slackening, although the progress
sionists refuse to join in the concep-

Senior Bernadino Machado, the
leader of the peaceful wing of the
"nuhlicans, agrees to truce pro-
vided that his friends now under ar
rest are liberated, freedom of the
press restored and the elections or

Admiral do Amaral, devoted

Frances downfall is complete. He
recognized that it was impossible to
saddle the youthful king at the out
set of his reign with the stern pro-
gram involving the immediate ban
ishment and deportation of several
hundred political offenders to which
he would have committed himself
if he retained office. He told a friend
that the assassination of the king
ended his political career. He offered
his services, however, but these were
refused, both the queen and the
Dowager Queen Marie Pia agreeing
with the unanimous view of the
council of state that the author of
the dictatorship must be cast aside
Practically no headway has been
made in unraveling the plot, of which
the murder of the king and crown
prince was but one part The police
now admit that three men arrested
were not involved Every one of the
desperate band except the three men
killed escaped in the confusion.
The identification of these three
throws but little light on their con-
nections. While it is believed that
they were involved in the conspir-
acies which were unearthed in the
latter part of January, it is possible
that the regicide was planned and
executed on the spur of the moment
after the appearance of decree, by
a small group of militant revolution
aries or anarchistic socialists, who
may have imagined that the obliter-
alton of theBraganza dynasty would
cause a spontaneous uprising of the
people.

respects, as the younger prince es-

Pacific depot, Ranger White was
shot and almost instantly killed by
man named Clark, who had come

Corsicana, Texas, Feb. 5.-The re-
mains of the man found in Cham
bers Creek last Friday and buried
there after an inquest was held,
were exhumed and brought to the
county farm yesterday under the di-

there. The sheriff states that the
body also had on it linen shirt in
addition to an undershirt and that a

to that part of the State. This was
decided at meeting of the Trade Ex-

consideration for some time.

Rappahannock Valley people will well
come Mr.. Hall. 1t is, we believe, the
observation Of those who have studied
the subject that where facilities are
given for transportation, trade will
spring up. If the Northern Neck had
a railroad from the Bay line to Freder-
icksburg, stimulus to farming would
be given; and additional facilities for ship
ment OF produce to competing markets
will stimulate production all along the
river.

GLASS HOUSES.

The fiinging of stones at the
windows of ones neighbors some
times produces different results
from what was intended. OF late
very vigorous stoning of Mr..
Bryan's house has been INDUCED
in, the President seemingly tax
ing especial delight in showering
rather heavy and hard rocks at
the Democratic candidate, the
platform, and everything held by
the party. Now, some one has
taken the trouble to search out
the glass in Mr. Sheldon's house.
and the stones find plenty of
places ofentry. Itseems that only
a few years ago Mr.. Sheldon, now
the treasurer of the Republican
National Committee, was in such
bad odor in his own State that
Odell, who was the candidate for
Governor, refused to go on the
ticket If Sheldon was named. But.
passing over that, it seems that
Mr.. Mack, who appears to have
no fear OF lese-majeste, has been
delving in Sheldon's record-and
he did not have to bride Sheldon's
employees, either-finding that
the genial treasurer has been or
IL now concerned in not less than
loO different corporations, trusts,
and shady business affairs. two
or which are the Steel Trust and
Whisky Trust, and others of a
character that no honest man
would care TO be connected with.
But OF course all these are lies,
and are idle tales, gotten up by
the enemy for effect.
