they are finest early peach we

they are easily the most brillian,
we have ever seen and the flavor
is superb. Phil says he will have
plenty of these fine peaches al

THE HOUSE BILL.

Washington, April S.-In the house the census bill was drawn practically to meet the views of Theodore ROOse- welt, who vetoed the census bill as passed in the last session because it failed to meet his views regarding the examination of applicants for posi- tiOns in census work. As reported to the senate the bill is regarded as more strictly enforcing the merit sys- tem. The director of the census may specially appoint temporary employees, but his power to appoint experts who have served in former censuses is limited to those who operate mechan- ical appliances.
 Combinations by the senate is re- quired in the appointments by the president of 330 supervisors, the house bill not requiring such confir- nations. The b llredteuhsceg a nations. The bill reduces the sala- ries of the chief officers of the cen sus from the director down, the re- auctions being generally $500 each The subsistence allowance for special agents is reduced from S4 to sS daily.

Moritz RosenthaI, Worth s1,ooo Day When He Is We'll.

St. Louis, April S-The temporary indisposition of the Standard Oil's s1.- 000-a-day lawyer Moritz Rosenthal, of Chicago, interfered slightly with the program of the defense this afternoon in the presentation of it's reply to the governments suit to dissolve the Standard Oil company of New Jersey for alleged violation of the sherman antitrust law. John c. Milburn. of New York, the Standards chief coun- sel. completed his opening argument. and Mir. ROsenthal was to follow with an address. leaving John J. Johnson, of Philadelphia, and David T. Watson. of Pittsburg, to argue law points. Ros- enthal will make his argument tomOr- row at the conclusion of MT. Watson's address.
 Attorney Watson represented the government on the Northern Securities case and is credited with having won that suit for the government. Watson insisted that in the present case and in the Northern Securities distinct principles of law were involved. and that under no stretch of the imagina- ton could they be deemed identical.

NEVADA D|VORCES
 ARE MADE LESS EASY
An Opinion Which Has Terrified the
 Divorce Colony.

Reno. April s-Consternation reigns in the divorce colony in this city. An opinion was handed down today by Justice Orr of the Nevada judicial district. of so far reaching effect that it has created a general opinion that the divorce mill will stop grinding. It was held in the case of Milnar against Milnar that an attempt to perpetrate a fraud upon the court was committed by the plaintiff and defendant enter ing into the collision for the purpose of giving the court jurisdiction.
 The Milnars are residents of Los Angeles. Mrs. Milnar came here a few days ago before the trial of the case Milnar followed her only a few days remained but one day and while here was served with the papers. The court held that such action and collu- sion removed the cause from his jur- isdiction and it was dismissed
 The court held that while it might be that a person could acquire resi- dence in this state in one day, evil dence so strong as to overcome any doubt must be presented in support of the contention. At present there are at least fifty men and women in Reno who have either applied for, or are preparing to apply for divorce.

While the Minority Leader Inserted a rate of His Own. The Beet Sugar Situation

Washington, D. c, April S.-Be- cause of numerous committee amend ments to the Payne tariff bill the house was compelled to sit longer than usual to insure action on the various paragraphs coming within the scope of the special rule adopted last Monday before the final vote IS taken. At one time the republicans were caught mapping and an amendment by NIr. Clark of Missouri was adopted fixing the rate of duty on iron ore, steel wire of No. 16 gauge, at three quarters of a cent per pound. This amendment, however, was thrown out later
 Fearing that he might not meet with such success again, Chairman Payne took his republican colleagues to task for absenting themselves from the chamber and appealed to them to re- main in their seats. This was done with the result that in all the com mittee amendments Mir. Payne was sustained

BEET SUGAR SAFE.

Washington. D. C.. April S.-A res orution calling on the departments of state. agriculture and commerce an6 labor for information concerning du ties on sugar was adopted. Indica- tions point to a contest in the sen1te over the sugar schedule in the tariH bin. not only because of the proposed free admission of 100000 tons annu- ally from the Philippines, but because certain democratic senators plan to open the whole subject by introducing an amendment to remove the duty entirely from refined sugar
 So far as the report of the finance committee IS concerned the beet sIIg- ar producers have little to fear, as the whole sugar schedule has "een referred to a subcommittee consist ing of Messrs. Burrows. Shoot and Flint. representing Michigan, Utah and Illinois. The American p-oduc- CTS fear most an attempt in the debate to bring the so-called sugar trust to the foreground, as the dem r-ratic senators threaten.

Chicago, April S-There was no such strain in the wheat trade as was noted on the previous session, but at times. however, the market displayed considerable activity. Instead of an upward jump of a cent or two on initial transactions, there was a calmer feeling today and the mar ket showed some signs of a reaction from the extreme tuoyancy of the past few days.

The big volume of business was in the July delivery which is now re- garded by many as an old crop month. After May sold off to S1.24& and July $1.112s, sentiment suddenly became bullish again.

|GOT CASTRO HEADED OFF
 He Cdn 60 No Farther In
 the Direction Of Venezuela ACTIVITY AT WASHINGTON
Has Been Supplemented By the Action of the Powers With Possessions In That Part of the World. He Is
 Ordered Out of Martinique

Washington. April S.-The efforts of the American government to keep former President Castro out of Venezuela and away from the nearby mainland and islands have every indication of being successful. Most of the powers having possessions in that district have indicated to the state department that Castro is not wanted within their boundaries and they are willing to acquiesee in the desire of the United States that he be far removed from the scene of his former prestige.
 Notwithstanding Castro's deposition as president he still has a great many warm adherents- in Venezuela and it is realized here that his re- turn might be made the occasion for a demonstration resulting in the re- establishment of unsettled conditions This government feels that Castro ought not be allowed to return to Venezuela or to be permitted to make his headquarters at any adja- cent ports.

If a majority of the members are found to favor free hides. as desired by the house. the senate committee on finance will accept that verdict. By this method. it is argued long debate will be avoided. It is the in tention to discourage a general debate when the bill is reported to the senate and to begin work at once on the adoption of the committee amend ments The committee continued all day and late tonight, inserting rates in the bill and will be ready to report all but three administrative features to the senate on Monday.

The prohibitionists won two points to- day They forced the adoption of the minority report, recommending the amendment for passage, putting it on the calendar for engrossment and by a vote of 76 to 62 they defeated the tax amendment to make up the de- ficiency in revenue should the amend ment carry.
 The prohibition forces attempted to force the question through to en- grossment but the antis caused an ad- jQurnment. The debate probably will continue until noon tomorrow as other amendments are to be offered.

THE TOBACCO SCHEDULE

Washington. D. C., April S.-Two important amendments to the tObac- co schedule of the Payne bill were de- cided upon by the ways and means committee today. Turkey which bars American filler tobacco is aimed at in one amendment and the other eX- empts tobacco growers from payment of the manufacturers license for the sale of tobacco in the leaf. This is embodied in a bill which the house has twice passed.
 An amendment was made to the paragraph placing a duty of 35 cents per pound on unstemmed filler to- bacco and 50 cents a pound on stem med filler tobacco. To this a proviso was added which makes the duty 50 cents on the former and Sl on the latter if it is the product of. or is imported from a country which pro- hibits the importation of American filler tobacco.

 Moral suasion with Nicaragua has failed to accomplish the object sought-that of impressing her with the desire of both the United States and Mexico that there must be ces- sation of the conditions which keep the other Central American republics constantly guessing. American war vessels are retained in Central Amer ican waters and only yesterday the cruiser North Dakota sailed from Magdalena Bay to Amapala, Hon duras, where some of the naval act tivity of Nicaragua has manifested itself.
