EXPENSIVE STRIKE.
Cape Breton Strike Has Cost $4,000, 900
The End Now in Sight.

Halifax. \. s., Feb. 1.-the cores
pondent of The Associated Press is in
formed on reliable authority that the
great Cape Breton coal strike is likely
to come to an end within q few days.
When thes strike was declared year
ago. at the ccllieries of the Dominion
Coal Co, about 1000 men ceased work
to obtain recognition of the union
Since that time the strikers have re-
ceivcd a weekly allowance from the
United Mine Workers Association.
The long drawn out struggle is esti-
mated to have cost the men and the
Dominion Coal Co. a total loss of So
000. 900. The basis of the expected set
Element is that the strikers return to
work without winning recognition, but
the immediate occasion of the suspen-
sion eff hostilities is understood to be
that the president of the combined Do
nlinion Steel and Coal Cos. has con-
serted to receive committee of the
strikers on. the condition that it is not
to be considered a precedent.
Hitherto the company has declined
to receive Occupations and refused to
deal with the disconnected workmen

mast master of Monmouth Grange, was
present and gave ali able and instruc-
live lecture on 1.-THE Cultivation of
Corn" Mr.. Packard is an experienced
grower of corn and gave many points
TO his audience. Among other things
he made the statement that every
achievement in agriculture has been
the result of a persistent and thorough
cultivation of some stable product. il
Illustrating the rapid advance of Oregon
apples in the Eastern market. Po-
tatoes are also the result of persist
unt cultivation.
Corn was once an important crop in
the state of Maine but owing to the
Western crop being put out here
cheaper the crop in Maine has nearly
been lost. What has been done can be
done again and corn can be raised here
again with profit and thorough meth
obs of cultivation.
Sweet corn is more profitable crop to
raise than field corn, and although nearly
the same method is used in the cultivation
Il slack method for sweet corn would
bring disastrous results where 1t would
not he so bad for field corn. The fodder
Of sweet corn, green. is more profitable
than that Of field corn. the speaker said
that the decreased number Of cows In this
State was due to the fact that the land
has been given over more to the raising
Of potatoes, by the blowing up of the
ground which might be used for pastur
age but it has not lessened it's value for
fodder land.
Mr.. Packard quoted the following fig
urcs on the average yield and value per
acre of corn in the six leading corn pro-
ducinG states in the West and of Maine,

VIII Be Resumed Today
By New York Senate
Assembly May Decide 10 Take
Part in Investigation.
Gov. Hughes In Conference with
Leaders Over the Matter.

Albany, n. Y, FEB. 14.--Tne hrSt ac-
tual step toward widening the scope of
the investigation of legislative corrup-
ton now under way in the Senate. was
taken tonight by Democrat, Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler. former lieutenant
governor and now assemblyman from
Duchess county. Mr.. Chanler intro
duced a resolution calling for full
and complete investigation" and asked
Tor Its immediate consideration. Mr..
Merritt majority floor leader, prompt
~ objected, and under the rules, con-
sheraton of the measure was post
poned until next Monday night.
Mr.. Chanler explained that his meas
ure did not contemplate general
boundless investigation but was in
tended to express the sense of the AS
sembly that the Senate should "go the
limit in its present inquiry into Sem
ator Conser's charges. Mr.. Chambers
resolution follows:
"W hereas, in the investigation now
being conducted by the Senate relative
TO the charges preferred by Senator
ConSer, a sinister reflection has been
made on the character and integrity of
members of the Assembly for the years
lSul " IJOO, inclusive.
"Whereas, II has been admitted of
record that fund was raised at that
time for the purpose of corruptly in
fluenciTg legislation, and. Pr
Whereas, it has been charged in
the public press that it is intended to
conceal the true conditions then eX-
listing, and to confine such inquiry to
the single issue as to the guilt or in
nocence of one individual, therefore be
it,
Resolved that it is the sense of the
Assembly that full and complete in
vestisation be had in justice to the
dignity of this body and the integrity
of the members, and to the end that
the imputation OF dishonesty. if TN
warranted. be removed, if we'll found
ed. that the guilty be punished"
The Senate's investigation of Sena-
tor Benn Conger's charges will be re-
sumed tomorrow. If an official step
toward a general inquiry comes within
the next few days, it will be by the
minority. Activity among the Demo-
cratic members of both houses shows
that they appreciate in the present
troubles of the dominant party an OPP
ed. Just what form such a step would
take puzzles even the lawyers of the
Legislature.
Thus far the only hints of corrup-
ton besides those personally c5ncern-
ing Senator Aids had to do with the
efforts of the American Bridge Co. to
protect itself from alleged Strike"
bills. Whatever Gov. Hughes may con-
template toward helping the party out
of the difficulties into which Senator
Conger's charges have plunged it. he
has thus far refused to discuss his at
titude for publication.
The governor spent some time today
with Speaker Wadsworth of the AS
sembly and with Senator Bracket.
Both conferences are believed to have
dealt with the bribery scandal Mr..
Wadsworth limited this evening that if
there was any probing to be done, the
Republican party would do it.
