Ya'nsville _ Farmers' club, of Sneet Potatoes College Park, M<L, for ICorope. to secure a market !n Europe for sweet potatoes. Accord ing to D. M. Nesbit, secretary of the club, an effort will be made, with the hearty support of the secretary of the agriculture at. Washington, to educate the masses in Europe to appreciate the sweet potato and to bring it within their means. The common people of northern and central Europe are un familiar with the tuber, their climate being unfavorable to its cultivation. If brought to their knowledge it would be a cheap and yet valuable addition to their menu. Oats were formerly little appreciated in London. They were, in fact, thought to be fit only for horse feed, but now oatmeal is on every breakfast table. So of corn. It was imported for feeding to animals, its value as a material for bread being al most unknown. What was done with oats and corn can Vie done also for sweet potatoes, if a concerted and sus tained efTort is made to introduce them properly at the Paris exposition and afterward throughout Europe. The de patrment of agriculture takes keen in terest in the enterprise, it is under stood, and will assist in introducing the sweet potato in its raw state and preserved by canning and by desicca tion. Investigations will be made and the results will contribute to the crea tion of a new market for an excellent article of food. A hint of the next fad or fashion in a curative way may be found in an .... _ experiment per- ItnklnK us «. Core ' 1 formed lately at liellevue hospital in New York. A physician named Sprague has invented an oven, which bears his name, and into which the patient is inserted —all except his head —and subjected to a temperature which under other circumstances would suffice for a barbecue. The heated air, says our informant, is withdrawn as rapidly as it becomes laden with the perspiration of the patient, and the process is further encouraged by giving the victim con stant sips of water. After he lias been baked long enough to lie well done he is taken out, rolled in heavy blankets, and finished off with a vigorous massage. It may be called a, concentrated form of the Turkish bath. If there is any sort of badness which Dr. Sprague's apparatus will not draw out of a man it must be of a kind that needs a preacher rath er than a doctor. A new and profitable industry is said 1o have sprung up around the banks of the ponds and small lakes near Wa bash, Ind. The common eat tail, which grows in profusion in the marshy ground near the water's edge, has be come a valuable article of commerce and sells at the lake for a cent a pound. The cat tails have largely su perseded wool, cotton and hair for mattresses and upholstery, and are said to tie admirable substitutes, while they cost far less than the materials mentioned. Since the Ist of March over ten tons of the commodity have been gathered and paid for at Syra cuse, on Turkey lake alone. The de mand far exceeds the supply and is increasing. 1 here was a lesson in physical geography in the senate the other day. Senator I'ettus asked Senator Carter to explain what was meant by "shoal water" in the mining regula tions of the Alaskan code. Thereupon, Mr. Carter stated that shoal water was the water between the blue line of the sea and the shore. "It may ex tend ten or 15 miles from shore, but if we can get gold ten or 15 miles from shore, so much the better for us," he added. Queen Victoria has, through her private secretary, ('apt. F. Ponsonby, transmitted to Mr. Cunliffe-Owen her thanks and appreciation for his arti cle in a late number of Munsey's Magazine, entitled "British Royalty in America," describing the impor tant part played by her majesty throughout her entire reign, in fos tering the friendly feeling between the United States and the British era pi re. PAYNE ON PORTO RICO. WlftcoiiMin It «• i»(i l> I icil it Tnlk* of liOKUludon for In wulur I*oN«eftsionM. Hon. Henry C. I'ayne, of Milwaukee, the Wisconsin member of the repub lican national committee, has been in Los Angeles, where he was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times, of which Gen. Harrison Gray Otis is president and general manager. Speaking of the Porto Kican epiestion, Mr. I'ayne said: "It is a momentous question, but the great body of the people has confi dence, I find, in the ability and good faith of the administration, and is rest ing confident in the belief that the president and the republican majority in congress will do what is right by Porto Kico. "President MeKinley's declaration in his message that it was 'our plain duty' to have free anil unlimited trade with Porto Kico was an attractive pro gramme, and met with a sympathetic sponse. But it. is the president's duty to change his mind, just as it is any other man's, when he sees, after a careful study of the question, that an other policy is demanded by wisdom and justice. "The fact is that the president and nearly all his advisers in Washington, a great majority of the republican sen ators and representatives, arrived at the conclusion that the first legislation with regard to our insular possessions, if we may call them such, should be in the line of setting forth a principle, and that principle should be that these new possessions shall not hold the same relation to the country as do the territories that have become incorpo rated and are incipient states. », "I think the more thoughtful peo ple of our country are opposed to any plan to bring these islands in as inte gral parts of the nation. Call it what you please, we must come down to a colonial policy of some form. There is great anxiety on the part of the admin istration to get started right on this matter. Certain newspapers declare that the president's change of front was due to the pressure of the tobacco and sugar interests. This charge seems to me ridiculous in view of the fact {hat these interests want absolute free trade with Porto llieo. "I was born and brought up in Mas sachusetts, and I always believed in Daniel Webster's interpretation of the constitution, instead of that of Mr. Calhoun. Some republican newspapers neein inclined to line up with Mr. Cal houn and the Dred Scot decision, in considering this Porto Iliean matter, shouting that 'the constitution fol lows the flag;' but I believe the coun try can more safely follow the teach ings of Abraham Lincoln and Daniel Webster. "Underneath the trifling tariff changes proposed there lies this old constitutional question, which is of tremendous and lasting consequence. You remember that- John C. <#alhoun and the champions of slavery main tained that the constitution went with the flag into all territory acquired by the United States, and therefore the slaveholder had the right to carry liis slaves and keep them in any territory. This view was maintained by the in famous Dred Scot decision of the United States supreme-court, to the ef fect that the United States can acquire territory only for the purpose of form ing states, slid (ill acquisitions must be treated as integral parts of the union. Webster and Lincoln took the opposite view that new territory, acquired in one way or another, is not an integral part of the union tiil it has been duly incorporated and until then the gov ernment has constitutional power to regulate its affairs. Here is the real issue involved iti all this Porto IJiean discussion, and 1 firmly believe the thinking people of this country, after careful consideration, will prefer to follow Lincoln and Webster, whom his tory has vindicated, rather than Doug las and Calhoun. "This little flurry about Porto Tlieo will soon he over. 11 will not affect the result of the presidential election. The administration stands well with the people. It has fulfilled its pledges to them, and more. too. On the money question it has done better than it promised. It has builded better than the republican platform. It lias re stored confidence and has revived busi ness to the extent that we have more prosperity even than we had in ISO 2. which was high tide. T cannot doubt that such an administration will be sustained." The Business of Expansion. The present tendency to expansion and colonization is already opening up world wide markets for American goods and American operations. The tendency will increase rather than di minish till all nations and isles of the sea become commercially tributary to the productive energies of the United Stales. We are entering upon an era of world markets such as Great Brit ain has enjoyed for the past IfM) years, and which has made her wealthy.

IVcnrly 100.000 ( ountry llomos See t nolo Sat 111*4* I'oMtniaii—ry SlM'C't'Hsf nl Washington.—"The credit of rural free delivery belongs almost exclu sively to the McKinley administration," said Hon. l'erry S. Heath, tirst. assist ant post master general. "A movement to broaden the free delivery of the mails was begun by Postmaster Gen eral Wanainaker under the administra tion of Gen. Harrison. It took the form of village free delivery, and extended, as an experiment, the plan of deliver ing mails by carriers, as existing in cities of 10, COO population, or SIO,OOO gross postal receipts, to 40 or 50 select ed villages of less population and small er postal receipts. The experiment was a success as far as it went, but the succeeding democratic administration, tearing its effect in popularizing repub lican principles and disseminating re publican literature, ordered it dropped. "It was a republican administration that conceived and executed the idea of brightening the home of the farmer, educating his children, increasing the value of his land, compelling the im provement of his roads, and giving him ready access to a market for his crops by carrying the United States mails t«> him on his farm. "Since the 4th of March. ISO 7, near ly 100,0000 rural homes in all parts of the United States have been brought into close touch with ihe rest of the world by a daily visit of the rural post man. "The initiation, of some form of free delivery which should reach the hereto fore isolated rural communities was forced upon the last administration in its closing year by congress, respon sive to the wishes of the people. Forty four rural experiments were reluctant ly started, some of them in commu nities which neither asked nor appre ciated the service. It was difficult to find such localities, but such were found, and the service was started there, apparently with the purpose of bringing rural free delivery into dis repute and demonstrating its imprac ticability. "It is possible this result might have been achieved in time, but under the viv ifying influence of a republican postal policy rural freedelivery at oneesprung into vigorous life. The appropriations were increased by congress from $50,- 000 the first year to $150,000" the sec ond year, and $450,000 the third year. On the 2d of April, 1000. close tfpon I. GOO rural routes had.been established, some of them serving as many as 1,200 or 1,500 people daily, the average be ing 750 persons to a route. Not one state which has asked for the service has been left unrepresented. The good work is still going on. Nothing short cf a revolution can now check it. "Three years' experience has shown that the rural free delivery service is not inordinately expensive. It costs very little more than the old colonial style of postal service, which it super sedes. and it invariably brings a large and compensating increase in the amount of the mail matter handled, and consequently in the amount of postal receipts turned into the treas ury. But even if it does cost more than the obsolete old plan, are not the farmers entitled to rome of the bene fits of the government which they help so liberally to support by their taxa tion ? "The country can well afford to con tinue and extend a system which makes better citizens, happier homes, and contributes so largely to the mental, moral and material advancement of the plain people." CHURCHES NOT DESECRATED. Philippine In.HiirKcnls* \inrrlcon Sol die IM, Have I si-il Them for Defense. From a private letter, written by an officer in the United States army who is now in the I'hilippines. the following extract shows that the Americans are not desecrating the Filipino churches, as has been charged. The letter says: "Yesterday we were gunning for in surrectos about five miles out. 1 had the advance with orders to enter the town. We advanced with great cau tion. but as we crossed the bridge and received no fire and came unmolested nearer to the church, which the insur rectos always use for defense, 1 made up mv mind that the 400 insurrectos reported there had migrated to a healthier climate. "I presume Atkinson and the other Boston Filipino:, have been informed that we desecrated the church, but we didn't. The American troops do not desecrate churches which are being used as churches; only churches which have been utilized by the insurgents as forts, the windows in many instances closed with masonry and loop-holed, have been occupied by our troops. "Our usual welcome to tlie'services' of the churches has been exceedingly warm, and the church's 'greeting' consisted of Mauser bullets, which were more blessed for the insureetos to give than for the approaching Amer icans to receive. "Tn cleaning up such 'churches' for use in she'ti ring our troops, consider able quantities of ammunition have heretofore liei n found secreted under the altars and elsewhere within the sacred (?) edifices."

Allen Ik Inaugurated »• (iovrrnor of Forto Hlco. Kan Juan, I'orto Rico, May 2.—The inauguration of Charles Allen, form erly assistant ar\ of the I nited States navy, as the tirst, American civil governor of Porto Kieo, 1 00 i; place Tuesday. more beautiful clay could not have dawned in which to usher in I'orto Kieo's new government. The streets of the city were thronged with people. The sky was cloudless and the populace took this as a happy augury of the occasion. The day's exercises opened at sun rise with serenades by the bands of the Eleventh infantry, the Fifth en vary and the I'orto Ilican regi ment. The enthusiasm or the people was greater than expected, in spite of the üblieation in the Diario of a letter from .Julio Henna, of New York, suggesting- that the people re main indoors and refrain from tak ing part in the inauguration, "there by silently protesting and showing the American government that I'orto Rico is dissatisfied." The Diario is the organ of the federal party and has a large circu lation. "ov. Allen in his inaugural said: "The laws familiar to you will con tinue in force, except as they may be modified by military orders. Such modifications from my orders will never he promulgated until they have been indorsed by distinguished natives learned in the laws of the country and familiar with its social and industrial conditions. "The laws providt; a basis for in dustry, trade and commerce which warrants the belief that the dark clouds of misery and want will soon roil away. liy these laws every pound of sugar will find a purchaser at. SO per cent, greater price, tobacco will be doubled in value and coffee will be protected. You are offered absolutely free trade the moment your ability is shown to support the government. Your laws, religion and private rights are all preserved and the laws can only change by the will of the local legislature. No isl and in any sea has a fairer future of peace, happiness and prosperity. The privations and misery of the past and present will soon be re placed by happiness and plenty." Then followed an invocation by Bishop Blenk, dwelling upon the memorable occasion in the history of the island and the United States, in voking the Almighty's guidance and protection, praying that the event would usher in the dawn of a bright er future and the beginning of the fruition of cherished hopes and im ploring manifold blessings upon Gov. Allen. The troops began assembling at 8 o'clock and, later, Gov. Allen and Gen. I)avis reviewed on the plaza the cavalry, artillery, infantry, the I'orto Rico regiment, the sailors and marines from the fleet and the police and civic societies. The pla/a and adjoining liousetojip were packed with people, of whom about 5,000 were present, 'the native troops re ceived the most applause from the natives, the regulars and sailors being accorded only nominal applause. Gov. Allen took the oath of office at 10:30 a. in. at the executive man sion. AN OFFICIAL DENIAL. Mute Department Olllcial* Say lliul a Story 01~ Standard Oil Interference in Diplomacy Is I'lit rue. Washington, May ".--The state de partment authorizes the declaration that it has never recognized any in dividual in connection with the pro posed acquisition by the tinted States of the islands of the Danish West Indies; that it has no knowl edge that any private person iias ever interposed in the negotiations on tlrtl subject, and finally that the ne gotiations never have been influenced by unofficial persons. This statement is called forth by the publication of the details of what is represented to be an attempt on the part of persons connected with the Standard Oil Co. to force the Danish government to pay them a commission on the sale of the islands to the United States government.. The department officials say that, of course they are not competent to affirm or deny the truth of the alle gations as to what passed between any such parties and the Danish gov ernment officials, but for themselves they are able to enter the broadest denial of any connection with or knowledge of such an intervention. The secretary of state does not know Rogers, one of th>> persons named and represented to be connected with the Standard Oil Co.. who it was al leged initiated the attempt to inter vene for commission.

The Advance on Fretorla llu* Hegiin —itlafckliig'N Deteiider* Forced lo Catch I.oenMs to IClte Out Their Food Supplj. London, May 1. — The Boers are showing uncommon activity west of Bloemfontein. They are in force be tween Fourteen Streams and Kimber ley. On Sunday they occupied Wind sorton. west of the railway, and now threaten to interrupt the communi cations of the British force at War renton, to tlic north. This, too, at a time when lien. Hunter is about to start on a 200-mile march to Mafe king, probably with 5,000 men. To the east of Bloemfontein, the Boers Sunday night were still holding the hills near Thalia N'Cliu, while be hind them long wagon trains, loaded with wheat for the Boer army in the north are moving through Lady brand. London, May 2.—Fighting, heavier than any since Ladysm.ith, seems to be imminent, near Th&ba N'Chu. The dispatches of Lord Roberts dated Monday and Tuesday show that the Boer rear guard, stubbornly resisting his advance, forced the British on Saturday and Sunday to act chiefly on the defensive. Gen. French, who is directing the operations, has at least 15,000 men. Some estimates give him 30,000. The Boers are estimated to be at least 6,000 «t,rong, and possibly 10,000. African horse sickness has broken out ill Gen. Bailer's army. It proves especially fatal among freshly arrived animals. The Bloemfontein corres pondents point out that the. deficien cies in the veterinary department cause thousands of losses. A dispatch to the Times from Mafe king, dated April 20, says: "A side light is thrown upon the hungry con dition of the garrison by the fact that the united efforts of the whites and natives have recentlybeen devoted to catching a swarm of locusts which passed over the town.' London, March 3. —The immediate objective of Lord Roberts is to estab lish a line of British posts from oil" frontier of the Free State to the other at right angles with Ihe railway, thus preventintr Boer raids southward. It is essential, therefore, that the Boers should be expelled from the Thaba N'Chu district and be forced to retire, to Ladybrand. As the result of the desultory filing Monday and Tuesday the Boers were pushed back a few miles, bui nothing decisive appears to have been yet attained. The Boers continue to follow their harassing tactics. London, May 4. —Gen. Broad wood's cav«'ry has reached Isahelfontein, 2S miles north of Thaba N'Chu. Gen. Lan Hamilton is bivouacking -it Jacobsrust, 15 miles north, of Thaba N'Chu. Gen. Tucker's division is moving eastward from Karee Siding. The divisions of (len. French and Gen. Ruudle are in and near Thaba N'Chu. Thus Lord Roberts has 50,000 men operating clear of the railway along a front of 40 miles. He is advancing slowly with some success, but nothing decisive. Yet, at. all points of concentration, the Boers appear in force sufficient to compel the British to proceed with caution. Their wide front in a rugged country makes turning movements difficult. The Boers, Mr. Winston Churchill says, have enormous herds of cattle and flocks of sheep gathered in the southeast. These they are driving northward. Observers at headquarters in Bloem fontein seem to think that the Boers are preparing to evacuate Brandfort and Ladybrand. The Boers siill hold ing the Thaba N'Chu district are esti mated at 1,000. They have among their guns i 40-pounder. London. May 3.—The Lorenzo Marquez correspondent of the Daily Mail savs: "A French steamer has arrived with 10,000 bags of coffee and 10,000 bags of sugar, consigned to a syndicate which is buying for the I'rc toria government. Four more steam ers with similar consignments are ex pected this month. It is evident lhat the Transvaal intends making a long resistance. The Boers have begun constructing fortifications at Lyden burg, where they continue to store provisions." I,l'ft tianv Creditor* to .llourn.
