negroes and whites ragged continuous
ly for forty-eight hours.
Throughout the night the negroes
and whites exchanged shots. At dawn
the soldiers prepared to rush the ne
gro stronghold.
Cautiously soldiers and citizens felt
their way through the woods for al.
most mile before a shot was fired.
Suddenly coming upon a group of in
trenched negroes the soldiers were
fired on and three hit This was a
signal for a general assault. On four
sides shots rang out. The negroes
fired desperately, knowing that quar-.
ter would be denied any caught.

The feeling here is very high, and

The problem of what to do with the

EXCEL LAST YEARS CROPS
President Yoakum of ST. Louis Roac
Finds Conditions Salts factory
Despite Alarming Reports.

New York.-B. F. Yoakum, presi-
dent of the St. Louis and San Fran
cisco railroad, gives it as his belief,
after returning from a short west
ern trip, that the crop yields this
year will be as good as those of last
year, despite damage in some quar-
ters.
Anxiety over crop reports from
the southwestern states has greatly
subsidized" he said, ION account of
good rains for one thing, and for
another the fact that the damage
was exaggerated in the first place.
This years Kansas wheat crop
is estimated at 67,000,00O bushels
against S7,000,000 last year, but
large crops of hay and oats will
probably bring the total crop Yield
of that state up to last years figures.
Crops in Missouri are as good as
last year, and in the southwestern
part of the state exceptionally good,
The oat crop is estimated at 5000
600 bushels more than last year.
THE Oklahoma corn crop has
been damaged considerably but the
wheat crop will run % per cent
greater than last year. There will
also be a splendid yield of hay and
oats.
"All things considered, the crop
conditions the country over indicate
a better yield this year than last"

TRAVELLING Trees,

In connection with a recent demand
nj German nurserymCn for seeds OF
the Montana larch, TO be planted in
Germany, the curious fact Is brought
out that white pine seedlings are to
be imported from Germany to be
planted in the province Of Ontario.
Canada Now the white pine Is in
digenous to America, and was trans
planted to Europe many years ago,
10 reinforce the forests there. 1t has
fiourshed so well in the old world
that ii now appears that the German
nurserymen are able to deliver white
pine seedlings on this side Of the
ocean more Cheaply than American
nursCrymen will furnish them. The
interchange Of trees among the vari,
Gus continents Is a most interesting
development of modern civilization.
Besides the white pine Europe has
taken from us the Douglas fir and the
black walnut, and we have taken the
eucalyptus from Australia and the
Norway spruce and Scotch and Aus
trian pine from Europe.

hat a rupture between the Spanish
government and the Vatican appears
imminent
AT San Sebastian, Don Jaime, the
pretender, has issued a manifesto In
which he says that he will lead the
Carllsts in the battle which he init
mates may be coming soon.
The Vatican has declared that the
negotiations looking to revision of
the cOncordant cannot be continued
until the imperial decree permitting
.non-Catholic societies to display the
insignia OF public worship has been
withdrawn.
Canalejas has responded that he
cannot cancel the program which the
government has announced. In some
quarters it Is believed that the holy
see counts upon the fall of the govern
ment. Canalejas. however, is said to
have had the assurance of the kings
support at the time he determined
upon his plan for religious reforms
The general situation Is complicated
by the unrest among the miners in
the Catalonian provinces and the oc-
casional clashes between the Catholic
and non-Catholic elements through
out the country.
The excitement growing out of the
agitation Of the religious question
rapidly IL increasing 1t is apparent
that the feeling between the Catholics
and the anti-Catholics is growing in
bitterness as the days go by, and
there Is every indication that the sit

true, however, that the feeling is more
political than otherwise.
