ICE CRUSHES SHIPS; 800 DIE
Disaster Overtakes Sealing Vessel
Newfoundland and the Southern
Cross in North.

New York. April A private mes
sage received here on Thursday from
st. Johns, N. F., says the steamer New
foundland was caught in a blizzard
while sealing just south of Belle Isle
strait and over one hundred of her
crew were frozen to death The Red
Cross steamer Florizel picked up 50
men dead and dying after the New
foundland sank. The total loss of life
on the Newfoundland is about one
hundred and seventy. Steamers in
the vicinity picked up several bodies
and a few of the crew who had sur
vived on the ice foes to which they
escaped when IL = vessel went down.
Fifty of the ere ! have been accounted
for in this manner Most of them
were dead when discovered and sever
al others were dying.
There is no news from the sealer
Southern Cross and this ship also is
supposed to be lost with all on board"
says the message. IF so, the death
list on the two boats will exceed three
hundred.
The sealing feet sailed for the ice
field on March 10.
The Southern Cross is the ship
which Shackleton used in his antarctic
expedition"

ASQUITH WILL ASSUME
DUTIES IN WAR OFFICE
Announcement of Solution of Crisis
Comes as a Surprise--French
and Ewart Are Out.

London, April Following all the
many solutions of the government
crisis which had been proposed and
discussed Premier Asquith announced
decision to the house of commons
which none of the prophets had ex-
pected or even suggested.
The prime minister himself will as
sumo the burden of the war office, in
addition to his other and almost crush
ing duties. He will resign from the
house at this critical stage, when the
second reading of the home rule bill is
about TO be taken up, and will appeal
to his constituents in East Fife. Scot
land, within a few days for reelection.
Field Marshal Sir John French. chief
of the imperial general staff, and Gen.
Sir John Ewart, adjutant general, de.
clined to Withdraw their designations,
in spite of the army order, which Wis
count Raldane cleverly framed as a
platform on which the generals might
stand with consistency and honor.
II thus became impossible for Col.
j. r. b. Seely, who was co-signer with
them of the assurance to Brigadier
General Cough that the army would
not be used to suppress the Ulster OPP
position to home rule, to retain the
secretaryship for war. His resigna-
ton, therefore. was accepted after he
had been for some days under fire
from the newspapers of his own party,
which insisted that he must go.

Wisconsin in point cs acreage. The
production OF dry peas has decreased
in the eastern states during the first
decade OF the present century. Maine
produced nearly thirty-s!x thousand
bushels in 1899 and produced less than
five thousand bushels In 1908. Ia New
York the production fell from 25l,sS0
bushels in 1899 to 71.4s6 bushels In
1903, or less than one-third OF the pro

tario in Canada Is heavy producer of
peas, the bulk Of the crop, which
amounts to about thirteen million BUSH
els yearly. being used principally for
stock feed Peas are mostly grown in
localities which possess a cool climate.
The pea plant likes cool weather; 1t
may also take the place Of corn where
this crop does not do well because the
summers are not warm enough. In
Wisconsin the distribution is about on
the same principles, for the counties
which produce the largest amounts
also have a cool summer climate.
Door county. for instance, produses
nearly one-third Of the dry pea crop,
while Manitowoc and Kewaunee are
also heavy producers These three
counties have long growing season
with cool summers. Soil, too. has a
great influence on the distribution OF
the crop. All the important pea-pro'
ducing counties in Wisconsin possess
heavy soil for the most part. fhe

The aim of the course in for stry IN

nurseries at Trout lake. in Villas coun-

county.
The demand for trained men in for
est service, both state and federal, is
increasing as forestry is becoming
more and more exact science. and as
the necessity for scientific manage

realized. Former cruisers and lumber
Jacks are invaluable in many ways as
rangers, for their experience, good
judgment, long intimacy with the con.
ditions OF camp life o ld acquaintance

however, men who have not had the
benefit OF much schooling, nor has
their way of life given them much
chance for acquiring scientific knowl
edge such as is needed in preparing
careful reports and maps.

State workern Let out.


The Wisconsin state railroad com
mission has decided to discharge a
large number of its extra" clerks and
two OF its regular clerks because the
appropriation of stS3,000 made by the
last legislature to maintain the com.
mission would be insufficient If the
force were not reduced.
II is explained by Chairman Roemer
Of he commission that It has become
necessary TO put a large part of the
force upon work in the engineering
department and that, inasmuCh as the
extra help could not be employed
In this work, the present action was
followed. Mr. Roemer made the fol.
lowing statement
During the last nine months there
has been an extraordinary volume OF
work placed upon the commission.
The last legislature greatly increased
this work by the enactment of numer-
Gus laws and in order 10 administer
all of them. there is now imposed upon
the commission large amount of adj
ditional work, and Il has become nee
essary to increase the force OF the en-
gineering department and the rate de-
partment.
The auditing OF all the bills OF
shippers, as required by the new law.
has kept the tariff department busy.
We have discovered that we could not
carry our entire force TO tho end of
the year on our limited appropriation.
I'VE WI have no difficulty In keep
ing within our appropriation. but can
not be expected TO turn out business
as rapidly as desired"
