May Have Plenty of Shooting 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 does 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 praire 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 Indians 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 fre3hest 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 wierd banshee cry of strange water fowl Particulars regarding settlement of the lands of Western Canada can be had from any agent of the Canadian gov ernment whose advertisement appears elsewhere

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 1000 that of the colored people 32 in 1000 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 2391 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 Iiibrary 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 is 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 of the library If it proves a public accommodation the example will doubtless be adopted

OEMS mm Mffl Are Sent Message Eejecting Their Amend ed Porm of Piatt Clause GOVERNMENT CANNOT ACCEPT II Cannot Change the Wording Nor Accept Other Peoples Changes Fresldcnl McKInley Anxious to Help tho Island era 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 Piatt amendment and that this government insists on the acceptance of the Piatt 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 arid 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 Piatt 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 Piatt 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 Piatt 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 Piatt 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 hours conference with ihe presi dent and Senators Piatt of Connecti cut and Lodge of Massachusetts As the author of the amendment the pres ident desired to learn the views of Senator Piatt 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 Piatt 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 the cabinet said that the government could do nothing further until the convention again acted that as long as the conditions of the Piatt amendment were on the statute books compliance with them must precede pur relinquishment of control over the island Campaign for Pure Food LINCOLN Jun 1 S C Bassett of Gibbon will come to Lincoln June 1 to open the office of the pure food de partment He is planning a vigorous campaign against the illegal manufac ture and sale of imitation dairy pro ducts but will take no active steps toward enforcing the law until he has the office opened and his de partment well organized Archbishop Keanes Record DE8 MOINES June 1

31 Mrs Mc KInley had a fairly oomfortable day but still feels the effect of the fatigue incident to the long trip from San Francisco to Washington The physi cians hope now that she is again safe ly established in the white house that the slight improvement which has manifested itself since leaving San Franciso will be continued and that soon she may bo able to sit up She is still very seriously ill and her every symptom is being carefully watched by those having charge of the dis tinguished patient Dr P M Rixey the physician in charge of her case spent some time at the bedside of the patient today Associated with him in a consultating capacity are also Surgeon General Sternberg of the army and Dr W W Johnson of this city The president spent most of the day at the white house in the company of his wife Late in the afternoon in company with Secretary Root he went out for a short drive taking a ride in the suburbs but he returned to the white house in about an hour PAIL MORTON TELLS THE PLAN Two 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 GREEN PEA LOUSE Department of Agriculture Gives Warn ing Against the Insect WASHINGTON May 31 The de partment of agriculture has issued a 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 3000000 and in 1900 this had reached 4000000 by the middle of June In some farms in Maryland 80 per cent or more of the crop was destroyed Vigorous efforts are making to control its spread and the official bulletin gives a detailed description and means of fighting it Nebraska at Washington WASHINGTON May

who were such on February 2 last and all of the second lieutenants of infantry who were such at the date of the or ganization of the volunteer army in 1890 shall be at once promoted to the rank of first lieutenants Philippines Not Affected WASHINGTON May 31 The treas ury officials discussed with much in terest the decisions or the supreme court in the insular cases and the con clusion has been reached that nothing in these decisions is conclusive upon the government to change its adminis tration of the custom laws as to the Philippine islands and therefore du ties will continue to be

Abnso Conservatives Senor Tamaya Designates as Traitors All Who Vote in Favor of the Amendment HAVANA May 29 The Piatt 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 embod ied the amendment with explanations of certain clauses The radicals made a hard fight 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 Piatt 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 Robau 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 Piatt 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 Tefused The following

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 suns 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 summer in southern Algeria and the cannon mouths are to tie turned against them also Nebraska Exhibits for Buffalo LINCOLN May 30 The Nebraska

There was a good liberal run of cattle and in view of the liberal re ceipts packers started in to buy their sup plies for a little less money than they did yesterday Sellers however held for steady prices so that while tho market was slow in opening not much change was noticeable Beef steers made up tho bulk of the receipts Viie same as has been the case for some little time It was a little late before many sales were made owing to the fact that packers were bid ding lower but after buyers and sellers got together the cattle changed hands at a rapid rate at just about yesterdays prices The heavy weights continue In the best demand but still the lighter grades if 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 chance was noticeable In the prices paid Packers bid good steady prices 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 15000 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 5360 or 2c 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 bid3 and began paying 560 and 562K At those prices the hogs moved toward the scales at a rapid rate and it was not long before practically everything was out of first hands The choicest grades sold largely at 565 and as high as 575 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 mpstly from 580 to 590 which prices average up about the same as yesterday There were no choice wooled lambs offered The heivyweight clipped stuff was slow sale this morning and
