The day was one on which the Portu-
suese people united in prayer for their
murdered king and prince. Oppression
rea! or fancied, the restriction of liberty.
the bitter clash OF party. sinister intrigue
and mercless vengeance seemed all to
ha re been abandoned for the moment at
leas: the nation prepared for the fu-
neral. This was the day Of the burial Of
theif royal 0ead-the day also of the
burial of fellow Roman CathoIics-and
follC wing the custom of Roman Catholics
the people wished to join i'm some way in
Ihe solemn mass which was offered I'D
FOR the spiritual welfare of Carlos and his
son.
The streets were thronged with people.
They poured in from the country. from
the towns OF the provinces from nearby
tiles. some by train. some by carriage or
by cart and many on foot In the crowd
were large numbers of simple peasants
AND tradesmen from the provinces who
knew or cared nothing of political strife
but wished only to mourn the dead
leaders.
Large Crowds Out
Bits of crepe fIuttered from the arms of
many persons in the city. yet. i'm spite
of these general signs of mourning. the
crowded streets suggested to some OBJ
servers general fete day which the talk
ing throngs were all bent on observing
hut tn others the presence of large bodies

points Of prominence had sinister sig

that had come and of those that might

Review OFF Valparaiso.

SANTIAGO. Chile. February S.-The
Chilean cruisers Miuistro Zenteno and
Esmeralda and five torpedo boat destroy
ers will meet the American fleet under
Rear Admiral Evans off Talcahuano and
escort 1t to Valparaiso. The naval review
off Valparaiso next Friday, when the
American warships will salute the port, is
attracting much interest. Many thou
sands of people will go down to Valpa-
raiso from here and other interior points
to witness the passing OF the nee.

Alleged Discovery of Defects.

The significant statement was made TO-
day by an official who is interested in the
investigation that the purchasing aud
supply system at the government printing
office has already been found to have de-
fects." II is said the experts are looking
into this phase OF the business and that
some interesting developments may fol-
low.
Another significant matter is the fact
that Experts Gongwer and Getzendanner
of the Treasury Department made Their
periodic examination of the afars OF inc
printery last December. and that tha
present examination is marked spsclai
and is being made at MIR. Rossiter's ie-
quest Ii WAS also intimated that Mir.
Rossiter may ask for other experts.
still another matter Of significance thai
developed today Was that the presSroom
has been ordered to discontinue the print
ing of jobs Of printing intended for tha
government printing office. including prlr-
cipally the blanks, 'etc., for the audit sys-
tenn.
veteran official said today: 1T seems
that government auditors are now audit
ing the auditing system.
Since the employees OF the ONCE have
learned Of the work that Mr.. Rossiter and
his assistants are doing. a feeling OF re-
assurance and confidence has taken the
place of the panicky conditions that fol'
lowed on the heels OF MIR. Stiltnes sus-
pension II was noticeable also that the
Office had for the first time in mont hs
begun to assume it's uld-tlme quiet he'

FIJI and swift and the depth of the water
is one of its remarkable features-in some
places reaching $50 fathoms. or about
$500 feet The winds of the strait are
never at rest Pouring through mountain
ranges. they are sudden. powerful. un-
certain in direction and usually freighted
with squalls of snow or rain. The gloom
of the place is ever present accentuating
the ma ajesty of it's scenery.
When Cape Pillar has been passed the
vessels will be practically out of the
strait. The only other land remaining in
their path will be the Evangelists. TWEEN
ty-three miles northwest Of Cape Pillar.
They consist of three rocky islets and
early Spanish ravigatOrs After rounding
the Evangelists the ships will have a
clear track northward to Valparaiso and
CallaO.

Floating island with lady fingers is
delicate dessert that everyone likes.
Its flavor depends on the taste of the
Observation-Disclosures, orange or lem
on being equally popular Soak one
ounce of gelatine and the thin yellow
rind of two lemons in one pint of cold
water for an hour. Take out the rind,
add one breakfast cupful of white
sugar and the juice of three lemons.
Stir over the fire until the sugar and
gelatine are thoroughly dissolved.
then pour the mixture into bow.
and let it stand until it begins to get
hrm. Beat the whites of two large
fresh eggs to stiff snow, then add
them to the gelatine, beating the
whole until it is quite firm and
rocky in appearance Pile it un-
evenly in the center of glass dish,
put cocoanut macaroons or fresh lady
hngers around the base. and pour
around it cold rich yellow boiled
custard
Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter
IN a hot saucepan and cook it till it is
a dark brown; break into it carefully
four eggs or more; do not let them
break; baste them with the butter as
they cook, and when done put in half
a teaspoonful of vinegar, salt and pep
per. and teaspoonful of chopped
parsley.
The big white onions are now in
the market. They are good stewed,
baked or fried, and novel way is to
stuff them. The Delineator recipe
says: Take two large onions and re-
move the outside skin carefully and
neatly; cut the root and the stalk end
even. Take all the center out Of the
onions except three or four of the out
er coats, taking care not to make a
hole at the bottom; If hole is acci-
dentally made, 1t must be filled up
with the bit that came out. Put four
tablespoonfuls of chopped cooked
meat into a bowl, add half a cupful of
grated bread, one teaspoonful of -four,
two tablespoonfuls of milk, and salt
and pepper to taste. Fill the two on
ions with this stuffing and put on the
lids. Place them in small saucepan,
pour in cupful of stock or water,
and stew the onions gently for one
hour. Serve on hot dish, with the
gravy poured round them"

WILL RESPECT EACH OTpER'S
POSSESSIONS AND GIVE PRO-
TEcTIoN TO CHINA.
STAND FOR OPEN DOOR
TWO NATIONS BOUND TO CON-
suit TOGETHER WHEN COM.
PLICATIoNs ARISE.

nston.-Despite official reli-
cence, information from reliable
sources has been obtained of an agree
ment OF far reaching importance be-
tween the United States and Japan
covering the policies of the two coun-
tries of the Pacific.
The agreement is based on the idea
OF encouraging and defending free and
peaceful commercial development in
that ocean. 1t contains not only a mu-
tual guarantee to respect each others
territorial possessions there, but de-
fines the attitude of the two countries
toward China, binding each to defend
by every peaceful means China's indie
pendence and integrity and to give
equal commercial opportunity in the
Chinese empire to all nations.
More important still, the agreement,
in the event of complications threaten
ing the status quo, binds the United
States and Japan to consult each other
with view to acting together.

Bloody Insurrection In Hayti.

New Orleans.-According to cable
dispatch received by the Picayune
from st. Thomas, D. w. l., private ca
BILE advices received there from Port
Au Prince are that the censored dis
patches sent from Hayti only give a
FAINT idea of the reign Of terror now
existing on that island. The dispatch
continues: Anarchy reigns through
out Hayti and the country is literally
running with blood. Private cables re-
ceived here from Port Au Prince state
that wholesale executions are in pro-
gress, both by the government forces
and the revolutionists.

A SUITABLE SEED BED.
Prof. Thomas Shaw Tells How to Pre-
pare Such.

The Importance Of good seed bed
cannot be easily overestimated. If the
seed bed is not suitable for receiving
the seed when it is sown, growth will
be handicapped right at the start, and
when young plants do not start well,
only the most favorable weather con-
ditions can result in good crop.
When clay lands have been plowed
in the autumn, they should not be
stirred in the spring until they have
dried out so much that they will not
pack when cultivated or narrowed. To
stir them at an earlier period would
mean that they would soon become so
cloddy that the young plants could
make no headway. Even though wait
ing should mean late sowing, these
lands should not be stirred until they
are dry.
On the other hand, certain sandy
soils and also soils of the prairie Will
dry more quickly if they are stirred,
even before they are dry enough to
SOW. To stir them up with the cultiva-

ment. Mr. Frank l. Mann, a practical
farmer of Iroquois county, Illinois,
gives bit of his experience as fol-
lows:
When ten tons per acre of manure
shipped at 55 cents per ton were ap-
piled to land, increasing the yield ten
bushels of corn which sold at so cents
per bushel, the result was not very
profitable. So little science was ap-
piled. An analysis of the soil showed
a deficiency of phosphorus. an ample
supply of nitrogen, a large amount of
potassium with no acidity of the soil.
Test plots on which different elements
of plant food were applied gave no
material increase in the yield from
any treatment except where phos
phorus was applied. The increase from
$25 worth of nitrogen was one bushel
per acre, while four dollars worth of
phosphorus increased the yield II
bushels, worth $3.50, while there was
left in the soil available for future
treatment for $50 bushels of corn,
Nothing was left from the nitrogen
treatment but a surplus of nitrogen
which proved to be an injury to the
following crop.
To treat this S0-acre field with 1875
pounds of phosphorus per acre would
require one Acton car of rock phos-
q NJ Of :
of manure at cost of $4,000, at SO
cents per ton. But the nitrogen in
this field had been we'll kept up by
crop of clover every fourth year
since the land was virgin soil-25
years.
Science will suggest procedure
for each field or type of soil according
to its individual conditions, and not
the same treatment for ALL Science
would have applied the manure to
another field, one that was in need
of the nitrogen, thereby economizing
both the manure and the natural sup
ply of nitrogen.
Science gives economy in showing
the amount of treatment necessary
as well as the kind of treatment A field
may have one type of soil containing
700 pounds of phosphorus to an acre
in the plowed soil, and another type
with nearly 1000 pounds. 1t will not
be economy to make the same amount
of treatment for both. One field might
require one ton of lime to correct
acidity and another require five tons.

Great Flood in Oklahoma.

Guthrie, Okla.-As result of for
ty-eight hour downpour in the valley
