Growths which Exhaust Trees

From the Denver Times
The growths which spring up near
plum and other fruit trees and roses
have an exhausting effect, and are right
iy termed suckers. They should be care
fully cut away from their point Of OIL
gin, removing a little soil for the pur-
pose.
1t is useless to cut them of near the
ground; remove the soil down to the
root from which they spring, and make
a clean cut with a shn~p knife. 1t may
be stated that the principal cause Of the
appearance of suckers around fruit trees
is the damage done by digging among
the roots of the trees with the spade
When carelessly used the spade scrapes
the surfaces of the thicker roots. and
from these wounded surfaces the suck
ers spring When roses throw up suck
ers around their base 1t Is owing to the
nonremoval of the buds In preparing the
stocks before planting.

Value of Harriman's Fortune

New York, JULY 23.-E. H. Hartman
was worth $71,000,000 at the time of his
death. The records of the state comp

taxes are paid, show as made public to-
lay, that Charles A Peabody, president
Of the Mutual Life Insurance company,
who has acted as Mrs Harriman's ad-
wiser since her husbands death, paid on
March last $4,000, the amount to which
the state is entitled under the transfer
tax law. A little arithmetic shows to
those familiar with the law that the es-

Outlook Is Much Brighter

Ottowa, July 23.-The possibility of
bringing about the settlement of the
Grand Trunk strike by way of arbitra-
ton looks somewhat brighter tonight.
James Murdoch, representing the men,
wired Mackenzie King, minister of la
bor this evening, expressing a willingness
ito refer existing difficulties to arbitra
ton, provided board of arbitrator mu-
tually acceptable can be secured"
Minister King is satisfied that Mr.. MUIR
docks offer is a bonafide one to arbitrate,
and tonight he is trying to obtain an
unequivocable response from the Grand
Trunk officials. President Hays wired
during the day that he had nothing to add
to his letter of July q, in which he took
the position that board of arbitration
should be composed of expert railroad
men," President Hays was not aware of
the change in the attitude of the train
men, however, and Mr.. King at once
wired him copy of Mr.. Murdock's tele-
gram, which is as follows:
There appears to be reasonable
doubt in the minds of many parties in
terested in this controversy suggestive
of the fact that the same plan of arbi-
tration that successfully settled the
same questions on a number of other
lines would be unfair and inconslder
ate of the rights of either party to the
dispute on this case, then 1t is a mat
ter that should be given consideration
and arrangements should be made to
conserve the interests of the party
whose rights were likely to suffer by
an acceptance Of the plan of arbitra-
ton used repeatedly heretofore.
I'VE recognize the special obligation
to the public and regret exceedingly
the inconvenience, the loss to which the
public and private interests are being
subjected, and with that recognition
desire to inform you that we would be
willing to refer the existing difficulty
to arbitration provided board of ur-
bitrators mutually acceptable can be
secured.
I'VE would respectfully suggest thai
If you, on behalf of the government,
should be DESTROYS of taking further
action in this matter, the parties to
the difficulties should be more closely
in touch with you for personal confer.
ence and we await your suggestions In
this connection"
JAMES MURDOCH.
In view of the fact that President
Hayes has not taken a stand against
arbitra ton, the feeling here Is more
hopeful that Minister Kings persistent
efforts to place the whole controversy
before a board of arbitration will be
successful.

ESTRADA'S ARMY
DEFEATS ENEMY

Bluefields, Nicaragua, July 23.-(By
wireless via Colon. )-Definite information
was received here this afternoon that
Estrada's forces had succeeded In cutting
path through the army of the govern
ment and Madriz at Acoyapa Fighting
had been in progress there for the last
month. 1t was of a desultory nature I'M
til Thursday. On that day General
Moncado of the Estrada forces rushed
the Madriz brigade under Commander
in-Chief vasquez and General Garrida
Most of the fighting occurred within the
town of Comolapa. The Madriz forces
were cut down. They fled leaving hum
dreds dead and dying on the field.
One report received this noon declares
the losses in this fight will amount to
500. Most of the casualties were scored
against the government.
Moncado has been ordered to go on to-
ward Managua with his forces while the
other division of the Estrada army will
attempt to cut through the last Madriz
obstruction and effect a junction with
the victorious troops of Moncado. Then
the real test of the 10 months war will
be begun. The prize will be Managua,
the ancient capital of the Nicaraguan
republic.
During the ten hours fighting at Como
lapa the Estrada troops captured many
of the enemy. took great quantities OF
arms and ammunition and 800 mules. This
last item is perhaps of more Importance
than the ammunition captured. 1t will
enable Estrada to add to his flying
squadron of cavalry that Is supposed to
mark out the way to Managuas gates.
