INTERESTING LECTURES.
Drs. feathers and Stiles Tell of Health
and Hookworm.

Grenada.-Dr. w. S. Leathers, director
of public health and sanitation for the
state of Mississippi, and DR.. Charles W..
Stiles of the Public Health and Marine
Hospital at Washington, D.. c., gave
two very highly interesting and in
structiye lectures here.
Unusual interest was manifested in
the lectures and a good crowd heard
the discussions of these learned physi-
clans, despite the inclement weather. DR..
Stiles talk was centered principally
upon the hookworm, of which he is res
ognized as the d~iscoverer by the medical
profession, and the prevention of con-
tag!ous diseases. DIR. Stiles is sent out
by the United States government in the
interest of public health, and the way
he handled his subject it shows that he
is eminently qualified for this work.
DIR. Leathers' address was principally
along the same lines and his address
was largely an appeal for sanitation
and the proper observance of hygiene
hearth rules.

Washington.-The treaty with Russia
of 1882 will be terminated without rui.

threatened crisis over the Jewish pass
port question has passed into history.
Without u dissenting vote, the senate
passed the Lodge resolution approving
OF the presidents course in notifying
Russia that the treaty vii, terminals
December 81, 1912. The president will
sign the resolution forthwith and an end
will thus be made of the whole matter.
The only opposition to the resolution
was led by Senator Hitchcock OF Ne
that the reasons for terminating the
treaty are Russia's discrimination
against American citizens because of
religious or race prejudice.
Hitchcock got the support OF OGor-
man of New York, Rayner OF Maryland,
Culberson OF Texas and Williams OF Mis-
sissippi; but two Democrats, Stone OF
Missouri and Shively OF Indiana, united
with Root, Lodge and Hepburn in APP

the Sulzer resolution that passed the
house, We're eager to nave the treaty
terminated somehow. So when the
Hitchcock resolution was voted down by

seventy-two of them voted FOR the Lodge
resolution and none against 1t.

Russia Objects to Charge Made in the
Resolution That She Has Violated
the Treaty of 1882.

Washington.-At the close of a day
of troubled activity i'll both executive
and legislative departments that the
ing the termination of the treaty of
1882 was Objectionable to the cars
government, these facts stand out:
First-The passage hX the senate of
the Sulzer resolution without amend
ment will abruptly sever diplomatic re-
lations between the United States and
Russia, as the Russian ambassador will
Immediately withdraw.
Second-The president, although con-
WINGED that legislative action is neces-
sary in order to enforce Russian respect
for American citizens, whether Jews or
Gentiles, favors a more temperately
worded resolution than the one which
passed the house by a vote OF 800 to l..
Third-The majority of the members
of the senate committee on foreign rela-
lions believe that a resolution favoring
the termination of the treaty will pass,
but probably in an amended form.
Fourth-The cabinet, called i'll a spe-
cial meeting, considered the matter Sat-
| urday afternoon. Cabinet officers were
inclined to minimize the seriousness OF
the situation, while not denying that
it has become acute.
Fifth-The Russian ambassador, NJ.

WORK OF PROF. S. NJ. TRACY
AGRICULTURAL EXPERT SUBMITS
REPORT FOR YEAR.

he has been unusually successful with
the same.
Prof. Tracy's work is to make tests
regarding new plants sent TO the de-
partmcnt OF agriculture from all parts
OF the country and OF the world. He
takes the piants or seeds. and gives
them a little more than ordinary cul-
tivation, in order to learn their full use
for ordinary farming purposes.
Fifty varieties OF Soy beans, from
China and Japan, has Prof. Tracy ex-
~perimened with this year. lie states
that these beans make heavier growths
than COW peas, and that their yields
of seeds are much heavier than those
OF cow peas.
lie has also experimental with TWEEN
ty or more varieties of velvet beans.
These beans nave been known in Flor
ida for many years. Numerous at
tempts have been made to introduce
the cultivation of these beans farther
north than Florida, but they require a
long season for their growth and ma
ture so late that the Florida variety
prove of but little value away from
