Plans Formulated to Wrest the Hrltish Market from the Danes. Washington. D. C April 14. Secretary Wilson when seen today ou his project to send American butter to England, to compete with the Danish product for control of the British market, said: "The United States made more good butter last year than the borne do mand required. Shipments abroad will be made in the future, and it is necessary to ascertain for our people what the world's market wants, and when we speak of the world's market we mean the English market. The English bought $05,000,000 worth of butter last year; the United States supplied, perhaps,! per cent of it or a little over $600,000 worth. Den mark supplied ovoP $28,000,000 worth. The United States furnishes the cow-feed to the Europeans, who make the butter for British consumption To this end it is proposed that infor mation be obtained for the American butter-makers by purchasing first class creamery butter in different lo calities of the United States, having the butter put up in different kinds of packages the regulation 60-pound tub, the Australian foot-square box, sealed tin cans, etc. The agents of the department will see to the trans fer from the refrigerator cars to the refrigerator steamboats in New York ana ascertain whether provision is made there for the proper care of the butter while crossing the Atlantic. If not, the department of agriculture will have boxes made to protect the butter in transit from bad odors that might come from meat, fi uit, etc. "When the butter arrives in Lon don it wilt be met at the wharf Dy the agent of the department and put on the market. It will be ascertained what package suits the British public best whether there is too much salt or too little; whether there is too high color or too low color; how our best butter sells there in comparison with the Danish butter. The whole history of the transaction will be written up. from the maker to the consumer, and this process will be repeated again and again, and instructions given to our makers until the butter wanted in the British market can be regularly supplied here by the average cream ery. This information will be given to the dairymen of the United States through farmers' bulletins that will be sent to every state in the union, and, if possible, to every dairyman in the union by the Department of Agri culture." Change In Volunteer Army Circles. Lieut. William Chase took charge of the Volunteer post in this city last Wednesday evening. The lieu tenant comes from Council Bluffs, where he has been engaged in very successful meetings. As an officer he bas had a wide experience, being in the Ame rican Salvation Army for sev eral years.

M. Shep herd, D. D.. pastor Grace M. E church, Lincoln; L. O. Jones, state president Nebraska conference League; Luci:m Marsh, president Grace church Ep worth League.

The Aged Jurist Wishes to Break the Record of Tenure On the Bench. The Californians in congress feel sure that Justice Field will soon be compelled to retire from the United States Buoreme bench, after thirty two years' service, snys the Baltimore American. Senator White, who saw him several weeks ago, says that his condition is so feeble that he can not possibly fulfill his dutiei as a justice of the court longer than the present term. It has even been announced definitely that Justice Field would re tire on the 1st of July. Mr. Field has been anxious to break the record for long service on the bench. Chief Jus tice Marshall served thirty-four years, and Justice Field hoped that he would exceed this period. Mr. Field was anxious that Judge Ross, of Los Angeles, should succeed him on the bench, but be realizes that it is the intention of President McKinley to elevate Attorney General McKenna. Justice Field plainly shows his weaknesses. He walks with great difficulty to and from his seat on the bench, and is constantly attended by a stalwart body servant. Neverthe less, be attends every session of the court, and endeavors to take intelli gent interest in the proceedings. It is the general impression in Washing' ton that Mr. W.'H. H. Hart, ex-attor ney general of California, will succeed Mr. McKenna as attorney-general of the United States when Mr. McKenna is promoted to Justice Field's posi tion. Mr. Hart is now in Washington, appearing before the supreme court in the famous Blythe will case, involv ing the right of an alien to inherit property in this country. Over $5,- 000,000 of property in California is in volved. Mr. Hart is quite wealthy, He received a fee of $400,000 from Miss Blythe for winning her case in the California courts. In personal appearance Mr. Hart is a double of Gen. Grant. For Your Easter Dinner. After fasting six long weeks you are certainly entitled to a good dinner Easter Sunday. Call at Ed.
