FOR BETTER WATERWAYS.
President Finley Of Southern Rail
Way Declares Himself.

President William w. Finley of the
Southern railway went on record in an
address before the Mississippi Society, IN
Pythian Temple last night, being in
favor of the improvement of the inner
waterways of the country. He declared
that the impression has gone abroad that
the railroads are against such pubic
work, but he said the system of which
he is the head is not putting any OBJ
stacleS in its way.
Mr.. Finley said that the agricultural
resources of the south are great, and
commented on the yield of cotton. Re-
ferring to the ravages of the boil weevil.
he expressed the belief that in time the
pest will be eXterminated and the cotton
production of the southland greatly in
creased. At the conclusion of his re-
marks he was made member of the
society, having been a resident of the
state in his younger days.
Senator Gordon and Representatives

pied seats on the platform with Pres
ident Mccormick of the Mississippi So
ciety. Mrs. Gordon, Mrs. Speignt and
Mrs. Sisson were also in attendance.

SHIP SUBSIDY MAY DIE.
Criticism Changes Attitude of Con.
gress Toward Measure.

The administration ship subsidy bill
may never be brought to a vote in the
House, but, instead, be allowed to die a
quiet and orderly death in transit some
where between the committee on mer-
chant marine and fisheries and the. House
floor.
After being rushed out of committee
some days ago with such haste and
celebrity as to subject it's proponents to
the charge of 'railroading'' the meas
ure. the bill has been pending in the
House.
Such criticism has been aroused from
various parts of the country, 1t is stated.
that many members who are committed
to ship subsidy are now hoping that it
will not be brought to a vote. Many
have given expression OF this hope.
The republican leaders in the House are
conducting a quiet canvass to find out
whether there are for a certainty enough
votes to pass the Humphrey bill. II 1t
develops that there are not enough votes,
the bill will be allowed to quietly. expire
in its present status.
In this connection prominent mem
Der of the House organization remarked
yesterday that there was nothing to be
gained by putting up one of the admin
istration measures just to have it knock
ed down.

CIVILIZING THE INDIAN.
Whether He Really Stays Civilized
Is Discussed in Congress.

Whether the graduates of the Carlisle
indian School abandon the ways of civil
ization and return to their blanket garb
was the subject of discussion while the
Indian bill was under consideration in the
House yesterday.
.'The time has come" said Mr.. Tawney
u Minnesota, when we should have
some reliable statistics showing the num-
ser of these Indians who return to their
blankets"
While visiting an Indian village near
Albuquerque, n. NJ. several years ago.
Mr.. Tawney said, he saw seven grad
yates of Carlisle living in the manner OF
their ancestors. not one of them willing
10 speak word of English.
Such instances. Mr. Burke. in charge Of
he bill. explained. were rare exceptions
Conditions on reservations" he said,
ARE changing very rapidly. During the
last ten years a new era has come for the
Indians They are progressing in the
ways OF civilization very rapidly. 1t is
seldom that a graduate of Carlisle during
recent years has gone back to his blan-
kets."

MANAGUA. February 19.-Thc consular
body resident here voted today to offer
its good offices as peace mediator between
the government and insurgents under
Gen. Estrada. The move Is considered at
important one. for beyond the inter
national character of the body the mem
bers are versed In Nicaraguan affairs and
men OF more or less influence. The Amer
lean consul Is Jose De Olivares. a native
of California, and who was appointed
from Missouri In 1906.

italian and Spanish consuls was appoint
ed and later visited President Madriz
who was found to be In sympathy with
the object of the consuls, but unwilling
to state the terms upon which he would
make peace with the insurgents.

The consuls also communicated with
Rear Admiral kimbaI, asking him to
transmit by wireless to Gen. Estrada al
Bluefields a message in which the consuls
condemned further shedding of blood
offering the mediation of the consular
body and asking the insurgent leader to
submit the terms demanded by the revo-
lutionists.

tiers, reports that the battle of st. Vict ntt
was resumed with added fury yesterday

Washington Not Advised.

The State Department has received nc
communication from Consul Olivares al
Managua, Nicaragua, indicating tina,
there had been meeting of the foreign
consuls at that capital or that any meet
ing was proposed with a view to tender
ing their good Offices to the two contend
ing parties in the interests of peace
Mr.. Olivares to take part in such a con-
ference, although such authorization
would not be regarded as essential by
the State Department.
Before carrying into effect, however
any plans which the consular body might
decide upon it would be necessary for
the United States consul to first obtain
the sanction of this government to his
participation therein.
Concerted action Of the character pro-
posed by the Managua consular body. il
is said at the State Department, has
rarely resulted in bringing about the
object sought That is especially true in
Central America, where during many
years past the consular body has ra ely
been able in time of war to materially
about permanent peace. The efforts o.
the consuls at Managua therefore, while
altogether in the right direction, are un-
likely to produce satisfactory results.
Warship for Meeting.
A United States war vessel in Corintc
harbor was placed at the disposal of the
two factions as a meeting place to con-
slider terms of peace some weeks ago
when the Madriz and Estrada commits
sioners were unable to agree as to q
meeting place, That offer. is still oper
and should the consular body be able
to bring together the peace commits
sioners of the two factions 1t is not un-
likely that an American warship may
be found satisfactory to all concerned, or
which to conduct negotiations.
A majority of the Americans who were
driven from their plantations in Mata
galpa province a few weeks ago by the
depredations of the opposing armies have
nearly all returned to their homes. Con
sui Olivares, in a report to the State
Department in regard to his visit t.
Matagalpa, states that there rsas nc
actual bombardment of that town by
either army. Many houses were struck
by bullets and sixty-five soldiers are re-
ported to have been wounded in the en-
gagement. AT the time Consul Olivare:
left there the MadriZ forces had reoccu-
pied Matagalpa. and Chamorro and hi.
army were thought to be moving toward
Tipitapa. The Americans in some parts
of the province complained to the con
sui of losses In coffee and live stock

GIRL AS FARMER.
Rents Abandoned Track With Dor
rowed Money and Wins Success.

A young woman in Massachusetts,
who was not worried by any surplus
OF this worlds goods, resolved to be-
come a farmer. To begin with, she
took a three years course in the State
Agricultural College at Amherst. She
had no money after completing the
term, and her health was not of the
best. She had been advised to en-
gage in some sort of work that would
keep her out Of doors. and she rented
an abandoned farm. borrowing the
money to pay the first installment of
the rent.
Last year she worked only five acres
of the tract. She put those five acres
in garden truck, and she cleared $3.50
| on the enterprise. She figures that
she will clear as much as 5000 to the
acre on this years farming operations,
and she has purchased three horses
and 200 hens. She is doing a fairly
good business in selling eggs. So far
tomatoes have been her most profita-
BILE crop, but she has also made a
good deal of money by growing peas
and corn. During the vegetable sea-
son she makes daily trips to Worces-
| ter, Is miles away. where she sells
ner pTOuuCtS. one hires DOyS IOT ~
cents an hour to help in the truck
patch. She keeps an account of all
receipts and expenses. and at the end
of the year she will know exactly
| where she stands in financial way.
Her experience illustrates what
| might be done with thousands of the
| abandoned farms which are scattered
all over the Eastern states. Farming
is not easy work. 1t is mans job.
and is not to be recommended as a
vocation for women. To make any
| considerable amount of money out of
a years farming requires hard work.
good judgment. and close economy.
This Massachusetts, woman has pros
| pered because she attended to BUSH
| ness and because she learned some
| thing about scientific farming when
she was at the agricultural college.
She is living on a farm. not so much
from choice as from necessity 1t is
no snap, but she has done very well
and is proud of the accomplishment.
This country is full of husky young
men. and lots of them are doing no
| particular good for themselves or for
their fellowm men. Some of these
young men could profitably get busy
with a few acres of abandoned farm.
