SPORT IN WESTERN CANADA ;
TVhllo the Farmer's Grain Is Ripening
and Ills Stock Growing Fat He May

There Is probably no country on the
American Continent where the life of
the farmer carries with It that assur
ance of comfort and /success as does
Western Canada. Nor Is there to be
found anywhere else such a pleasant
combination. Game abounds every
where and nowhere docs It afford such
perfect amusement A noted sports
man writing of the favorite pastime
says : "There Is one particular spot
where I saw a man drop seventy mal
lards one morning and bring them all
to bag , too , for they dropped in open
water or on flat prairie. At the right
season of the year you can see black
lines and triangles cut sharply out
against the sky all round you , moving
very swiftly , and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the prair.e
chicken crowing like barn-door fowls ,
and a little to the northeast is a bit
of marshy ground , cattle-poached and
dappled with gleaming pools , where
the snipe are nearly as thick as mos
quitoes. A thin column of blue smoke
curling up in the distance shows you
where a few wandering Indiana have
pitched their camp , but there is no
other indication of civilization in
sight Still , the neighborhood is well-
settled , and a short drive will bring
you to a farmhouse , where you can
buy the finest butter and the freshest
eggs for uncivilized prices.
A very short railway journey will
bring you to a country full of deer and
the lordly wapiti , the king of the deer
tribe the world over , and down on the
flat , boggy land by the lake shores the
moose will stand knee deep in water
on the summer evenings ready to lie
down when the flies get bothering.
All day you breathe the wild free air
of the prairie , and at night you are
lulled to sleep by the surge and ripple
and splash of the waves on the beach ,
broken now and then by the wlerd
of water-fowl. "

\Vhr Negroes Die Young : .
The American Missionary associa
tion makes public a report from one
of its representatives in Nashville ,
Tenn. , concerning the death rate
among the negroes of the south.
The report states that In the represen
tative southern cities 'for the past five
years the death rate of the whites has
been 20 in 1,000 ; that of the colored
people 32 , in 1,000. The south is said
not to have shown much concern about
the rapid increase of the negro , since
the census of 1900 made it appear that
In the ten years previous the black
race increased 24 per cent and white
23.91 per cent The death rate of the
negro is greatest under the age of 15
and least at the higher ages. The
race is subject to a higher death rate
than the whites from the following
diseases : 1. Consumption at all ages ,
but especially between the ages of 15
and 45. 2. All diseases of infants.
The colored mother too often does not
know how to take care of her infant. 3.
Pneumonia at all ages. Scrofula and
contagious diseases seem also on the
increase.
New Library Scheme.
A new departure in library service
has been inaugurated by the public li
brary at Springfield , Mass. , where 100
persons have agreed to pay 5 cents a
week for ten weeks for home delivery
of books. Each patron specifies ten
books at the start and the time of use
iy the same as if called for at the li
brary by the user. The innovation , it
is believed , will greatly add to the pat
ronage pf the library. If it proves a
public accommodation the example
will doubtless be adopted throughout
the country.

ed Perm of Flatt Clause ,
GOVERNMENT CANNOT ACCEPT II
Cannot Chance the Wording Nor Accept
Other People's Changes President
McKlnloy Anxions to Help the Island
ers , Bat finds No Way to Do So.
WASHINGTON , June 1. After an
other long conference between the
president and members of his cabinet
a message of rejection was sent to
General Wood , advising the Cubans in
unqualified language that there is no
power resting in the United States
government to change the terms of
the Platt amendment and that this
government insists on the acceptance
of the Platt amendment , without
amendment or qualification. The Cu
ban convention is still In session and
the message of rejection will be de
livered to it immediately. The admin
istration is confident that the Cubans
will understand the exact attitude of
this government and make a satisfac
tory acceptance within a reasonable
period.
This action followed the decision of
the cabinet that the action of the
Cuban constitutional convention in ac
cepting the terms of the Platt amend
ment with modifications and interpre
tations of its own was not "substan
tial" compliance with our terms , with
in the meaning of the amendment.
The three main points in which the
action of the convention is regarded
as unsatisfactory relate , it is said , to
coaling' stations , sanitation and inter
vention. The Cuban convention took
from the coaling station paragraph
of the Platt amendment its obligatory
character and merely authorized the
Cuban government , in its judgment ,
to allow the United States to possess
coaling or naval stations. The United
States will assist on an absolute agree
ment to grant these coaling stations.
With respect to sanitation , the Cubans
do not agree to carry out plans al
ready devised , and In accepting the
Platt amendment modified its provis
ions so as to change them considerably.
In the matter of intervention the
objection is that the Cubans have so
changed this vitally important part of
the Platt amendment as to make the
right of the United States to intervene
an ambiguous and doubtful matter ,
whereas a straight and unequivocal ac
knowledgment of right to intervene
when , in our judgment , intervention is
necessary to assure Cuban independ
ence or a stable government , is in
sisted on.
The cabinet meeting lasted an hour
and a half and had been preceded by
an hour's conference with the presi
dent and Senators Platt of Connecti
cut and Lodge of Massachusetts. As
the author of the amendment , the pres
ident desired to learn the views of
Senator Platt and also those of Sen
ator Lodge , who is one of the influen
tial members of the committee on for
eign relations.
At the cabinet meeting Secretary
Root took the stand that the interpre
tation of the Platt amendment contain
ed in the constitution adopted by the
convention and the whereases append
ed to it , went outside of a fair inter
pretation of its meaning and was un
acceptable. In this view the cabinet
concurred.
When asked as to what would be the
next step of the government after the
Cuban convention had been notified of
the rejection of its action , one of the
members of vthe cabinet said that the
government could do nothing further
until the convention again acted , that
as long as the conditions of the Platt
amendment were on the statute books
compliance with them must precede
our relinquishment of control over the
island.

PAUL MORTON TEJ.LS THE PLAN.
Twq Steamers a Month to Serve the
Oriental Business.
CHICAGO , May 31. Paul Morton ,
second vice president of the Santa Fe ,
who returned from New York after
having been in conference with the
Hamburg-American steamship officials
relative to the establishment of a new
line from San Francisco to the orient ,
in discussing the project said :
"The Santa Fe is negotiating with
the Hamburg-American line , but the
terms of the contract are not all
agreed upon. Our contract with Cue
California and Oriental line does not
expire until next year , and until that
time a new line-cannot be established.
It Is the purpose of the Santa Fe to"
inaugurate passenger as well as
freight Service between San Francisco
and oriental points and we want the
Hamburg-American company because
it is in a position to give a better
service than the company with which
we now have relations.
"At first we will not run more than
one or two steamers a month , but as
the trade and traffic increases the ser
vice will keep pace with it. "
THE OREEN PEA LOUSE.
Department of Agriculture Gives 'Warn

WASHINGTON , May 31 The de

report on the ravages of the green pea
louse , giving warning that the insect ,
one of the most important of those
which ravaged the crops of the coun
try during the last two seasons , will
widen its range geographically and in
crease the amount of destruction.
Since its first appearance in May ,
1899 , at Bridges , Va. , its devastation
has steadily increased and it has now
become the cause of great loss in the
principal pea growing regions of the
United States. The estimated loss it
caused along the Atlantic coast states
in 1899 is estimated at ? 3,000,000 , and
in 1900 this had reached ? 4,000,000 by
the middle of June. In some farms in
Maryland SO per cent or more of the
crop was destroyed. Vigorous efforts
are making to control its spread arid

Ouban Constitutional Convention Pinallj
Approves Platt Clause ,
VOTE IS FOURTEEN TO THIRTEEN.
Radicals Fight Hard at the Finish and
Abuse Conservatives Seuor .Tainayo
Designates us Traitors All Who Vote In
Favor of the Amendment.
HAVANA , May 29 The Platt
amendment was accepted by the Cuban
constitutional convention by a vote of
15 to 14. The actual vote was on ac
cepting the majority report of the
committee on relations , which embodied
ied the amendment , with explanations
of certain clauses.
The radicals made a hard flght at
the last moment and Senors Portuondo ,
Gomez and Tamayo bitterly arraigned
the conservatives. Senor Tamayo was
particularly vindictive and declared
that everybody who voted in favor of
the Platt amendment was a traitor to
his country. The convention com
pelled him to retract this statement
On several occasions personal encoun
ters seemed imminent.
Senor Gomez spoke for more than
an hour and his speech undoubtedly
won over Senors Castro , Rohan and
Manduley. He appealed to the pa
triotism of the delegates and rehearsed
the long fight for independence , de
nouncing as perjurers all who favored
the Platt amendment on the ground
that they had sworn to draw up a
constitution for an independent re
public.
Several conservatives arose and re
quested Senor Gomez to retract , but he
refused.
The following delegates voted against
the majority report : Gomez , Gener ,
Portuondo , Lacret , Manduley , CIsneros ,
Ferrer , Fortun , Robu , E. Tamayo ,
Silva , Castro , Zayas and Aleman.
Senors Rivera and Bravo were ab
sent.
The convention will convene its ses
sions , which will be devoted to draw
ing up the election law.
La Discussion in an extra this evenIng -
Ing exclaims : "Now will come im
mediate independence. "
By a decree to be issued In Havana
the terms for paying mortgages will

both sides are satisfied with this ar
rangement

CANNON TO AID THE FAIiMERS.
French Use Them to Fight Hail , Frost
and Grasshoppers.
WASHINGTON , May 30. The
French agriculturalists intend to fight
frost and grasshoppers as well as hail
storms with cannon and smoke , ac
cording to an interesting report re
ceived at the state department from
Consul Covert Lyons. It has just
been determined to hold an interna
tional cannon congress at Lyons In
November next and Consul Covert was
authorized to extend an Invitation to
Americans to take part. The success
that has attended the experiment of
firing at approaching hailstorms to
prevent their ravages upon French
vineyards , has prompted steps for a
still further extension of the usage of
cannon in agricultural society circles.
The theory in some quarters prevails
that it is not the frost itself which
blasts the budding fruit , but the sun's
rays following a night of frost , which
find the grape , already sensitive to the
cold , an easy victim to the heat Can
non fired horizontally over vineyards
at Asti at sunrise produced interesting
results. A strip of vineyard 500 feet
wide , over which the smoke from the
two cannon had been spread , was en
tirely protected from the effects of the
frost , while the vines on either side
were badly injured.
An invasion of grasshoppers is an
nounced to occur this sumnler In
southern Algeria and the cannon
mouths are to be turned against them
also.

Baker's anger.
THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotation * from South Omia
and Hunan * City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
Cattle There was a good , liberal run
of cattle , and In view of the liberal re
ceipts packers started In to buy tholr sup
plies for a llttlo less money than they did
yesterday. Sellers , however , held for
steady prices , so that while the market
was slow In opening- , not much change
was noticeable. Beef steers made up the
bulk of the receipts , Vfie snmo as has been
the case for some llttlo time. It was a
little late before many sales were made ,
owlntr to the fact that packers were bid
ding1 lower , but after buyers and Hellers
got together the cattle changed hands at
a rapid rate at Just about yesterday's
prices. The heavy weights continue In
the best demand , but still the lighter
grades , ' It of desirable quality , sold with
out difficulty. It was the light common
stuff that was slow sale. Cows were In
light supply and good demand and no ma
terial change was noticeable In the prices
paid. Packers bid good , steady prlccH
and bought up what was offered In good
season. Choice heavyweight heifers In
particular moved freely. Bulls also were
In active demand this morning , and any
thing at all desirable In quality sold In
good season at steady prices. The same
was true of stags and calves.
Hogs There was a very heavy run of
hogs , over 15.000 head being on sale. The
demand , however , was equal to the occa
sion , as Is shown by the fact that every
thing sold In good season , with the mar
ket averaging only a shade lower. Pack
ers started In bidding mostly $3.60 , or 2V c
lower , but sellers held on for steady
prices , and for that reason the market
was a little slow In opening. Finally , how
ever , packers raised their bids and began
paying $3.60 and $3.62 . At those prices
the hogs moved toward the scales at a
rapid rate and It was not long before
practically everything was out of Hrst
hands. The choicest grades sold largely
at $5.63 , and as high as $3.73 was paid for
a prime load.
Sheep There were only a few cars of
sheep and lambs here and the market on
the lighter weights of lambs was fairly
active and just about steady with yester
day. The clipped lambs sold mostly from
$5.80 to $3.90 , which prices average up
about the same as yesterday. There
were no choice wooled lambs offered. The
heivywelght clipped stuff was slow sale
this morning and a little weak.
