A report from tho Spanish claims com
mission showing tho progress made was
presented to tho senate today. It Includes
n memorandum from tho chairman of tho
commission. Hon. W. 13. Chandler, In which
ho makes complaint-of tho inadequate pro
vision for tho protection of tho Interests of
tho government In tho Investigation of
theso claims. Ho ways tho commission last
April made, through tho president's re
quests for assistance from tho Departments
of Justice, War and State, tiBklng that the
last mentioned department make an effort
to sociTo the co-operation of tho Spanish
government In Investigating the claims, but
the Information has not born forthcoming.
Mr. Chandler gives tho number of clnlms
no 41M, tho aggrcgato amount asked being
I6,15S,758.
Mr. Chandler sums up tho situation In the
following recommendations:
First. That tho attorney gonoral Is with
out a BUfflclent forco ot assistants and
without sufficient funds to enable him to do
tend tho casus.
Second. No considerable Information con
cernlng the cases has been obtained by him
either from tho Stato department or from
Cuba nnd none nt nil from Spain.
Third, That In has not been ascertained
thnt under existing circumstances nny wit
ticsses whntovor can bo examined In Spain,
whero thoso most Important and absolutely
indispensable for proper defenso resldo; It
seems clearly prudent and wlso thnt no at
tempt to tnke testimony In Cuba In behalf
of any of tho claimants should bo mado
until thoro ban been further action by con
Kress In tho premises.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Mrs. Ada Gil
bert Dennis, a fashionable dressmaker, uus
found In an almost dying condition In her
room at 5 n. in. today under rlrcumstnuccs
that promise to rUnl tho Honlno murder
rose. Her skull wns fractured, Jawbone
broken nnd left enr almost severed from
tho hond. Her left arm bore hrul03 in
dicative of a struggle ntid her clothing and
the bedding were saturated with blood.
Shu was removed to the Garfield hospital
nnd a large force ot detectives put on tho
case. Tho name ot her assailant Is un
known. Tho general belief Is thnt Mrs. Dennis
was attacked whllo asleep In her back loom
on thu first floor and that the first blow
wa In nil probability administered with
tho piano stool, which wns smeared with
blood, and rendered her unconscious. The
preliminary Investigation by the police
failed to Indicate that there was nny utiug
gle, Mrs. Dennis In u conscious moment
while being carried to tho hospital said
that some one had "hurt her," but when
pressed for details merely responded "never
mind." Robbery apparently was not tho
motive for tho crime, for on thu table at
tho foot of the bed wau u small box con
taining a pocketbook well filled ulth green
backs and coin. Thetu was n bloody
imprint of a hand on thu piano lid 111 the
parlor and a window In thnt room was open.
It Is supposed the asallants escaped through
this window. When found Mrs. Dennis
vins clad In her night gnrmcnts and was In
bed miller tho cover. She wns partly con
scious, although sho has been unconscious
most of tho time since. The detectives are
Bntlsflcd that several blows of tho pluno
stool must havo been wielded with con
siderable force and that there was no out
cry, nt least audible. Her groans wero
heard by a woman on the third Hour nnd in
the adjoining house. About thu snmn time
Policeman Livingston and a watchman who
wcro two blocks away heard what they
believed was a womnn's scream. Mrs. Den
iiIb Is nbout 42 years old and Is ono of the
best known women In business here. Sho
Is tho widow of Walter DenniH. an actor.
Mystery Surrounds lie I'lise,
Complete mystery ns to tho motive for or
tho perpetrator ot tho assault on Mrs.
Dennis continues to surround tho cane. The
police have been entirely bnllled In their
efforts to obtain any cluu upon which to
prosccuto their wok.
Many theorlea as to the motive tor tho
crinio arc being considered by them, but
absolutely no facts havo developed upon
which to base a cluo to tho perwon or per
sons Implicated. Tho victim of the as
sault remains In a very precarious condi
tion at tho hospital. Tho physicians say
hc may regain consciousness, In which
event It Is hoped she will sny something
that will glvo tho police something to work
upon. Twice todny In brief periods of lu
cidity she mentioned tho numo of a man
whom bIio know nnd tho police are seek
ing to ascertain If ho possibly could bo con

HORTICULTURE IN IOWA
State Society Itevlvvtn Products mill
Conditions for the
Vcnr.
(From u Stuff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Dee. 10. (Special.) Tho
thirty-sixth annual meeting of tho Iowa
Stato Horticultural society Is being bettor
attended than usual and the program, which
extends over two days, Is nn unusually
good one. President M. J. Wragg of Wuu
keo was In tho chair today, and the rooms
of the society In tho stnto capltol were well
filled.
Secretary Wesley Oreeno of Davenport In
his annual report eald tho year Just closed
has tested to the utmost tho theory, us well
as tho practice taught by the society, ot
tho great value ot conservation of soli cul
ture, and to this trial was. also added tho
clement of great hent, the Intensity and
duration of which has never beforo been
recorded In the annuls of lown horticulture.
The, prospect for a fruit crop was encour
aging in April, as shown by tho reports at
that time. The percentage outlook nt that
time was; Apples, 04; puars, 01; American
plums, 06; European plums, 90; Japanese
plums, 02; cherries, 95; peaches, 85; grapes,
88; red raspberries, 86; black raspberries,
86; blackberries, 89; strawberries, 94. In
Juno the prospects had fallen considerably.
July was tho hottest month on iccord, being
8,7 degrees above normal, with the ther
mometer registering 100 or uibovc for
twolve dnys at Des Moines. This extreme
hent without rain soon cut tho crop of veg
etables to Btich a low porcentago that they
woro 8earco on tho market at nny price.
Tho condition of fruit In August wns utlll
on the decline, with tho following low per
centages showing: Summer apples, 32; win
ter apples, 30; plums, 05; grapes, 62, and
blackberries nearly a complete failure.
Owing to the short crop of apples nnd
tho drying up before maturity of tho mnall
fruits tho data wns not tecurcd necessary
to complete charts showing tho progress ot
ripening of different fruits. Tho Impor
tance of keeping a record of tho progress ot
tho fruit crop from blooming to ripening
Is Illustrated In taking tho history of the
Wealthy apple. Tho seeds wero colored in
the Bouthprn pnrtof tho stuto by August
12, while lu tho north this development had
not been renchnd until Septembor 7. Tho
fruit wns fully matured In the southern
part of tho stato by August 20 and In tho
north ot thn state not until September 20.
Tho query comes; "Docs six degrees ot
dlfforcnco In tompornturo hasten the ripen
ing of tho Wealthy npplo one month?" A
fow observations aro not aufilclont, says tho
secretary, to answer tho question, but a
multitude of corroboratlvo evidence may
lead to that conclusion. It Is this Intl
mato knowli-dgo ot all kind nt fruit that
Is necessary to the fruit grower to have
when ho Ib selecting fruit for a given lo
cality. Honco leportx arc needed from all
sections of tho state.
President Wragg In his annual addrcus
to the society urged for an exhibit ut the
St. Louis exposition and spoke in general
of the progress of the society. Among other
things he Bald:
Tho horticultural products tit Iowa aro
rccocnlzed not only lu our own market.
but In the markets of th world, and In
compctttlvit exhibits It has always boon
honored In being rated among tho hist
to receive tho highest awards of praise
Our horticultural schools stand second to
none In this country und It Is with prldn
und pleusuro that we point to the muny
who havo gone, from our horticultural in
stltutlons to hold like positions In our
sister states nnd also In the agricultural
and horticultural departments in Wash
ington. These results warn js us ii suite
and us a stato society to not let the good
work lagr hut roacn nut nnd push our
work so us to maintain our pres.-nt high
standard and to make, if possible, greater
i fforts along the line of progressive hor
ticulture Our premium otters for the production
of new trulls haw been dropped irom our
volume' for the reason thul the standard
of excellence wns placed to high that none
has us vet made ,m claim lor the pre
mium. I urge that our board of illre'ttors
reinstate this premium list, so that theie
ytlll be some incentive for those who are
busy enr lifter Jear crossing new fruits
and breeding- them up, tor while tin Ideal
Is high, yet there Is a possibility that Wjc
might have an F.pln-ului Hull or a Peter
At. Gideon In our ranks, who might vol
tnuku our society prominent by thu intro
duction of some new fruit thnt has su
perior quality in both fruit litid tree. 1
would also urge that In our premium list
for exhibition of fruits at this society, that
under the present conditions cold storage
mills be given nn equnl chance with
others, believing that we should encourage
our grower! to prepare curly maturing
fruits to show on our tables. One year
nun the monger appropriation of Uu was
mado for an exhibition at tho statu fair
W bile this Is a marl In tho right direc
tion, yet I believe there is no better place
und opportunity for popularizing our work
where so great a number can have the
benellt of our work und exporlcnco us nt
this great annual gathering. I utn con
lldent that lm) Judiciously expended In pre
miums ut ihli time would huvi' nn Invig
orating effect lu bringing exhibits from
our muhy experimenters, who ns yet havu
not been inhibitors. I recommend thnt
mis matter he referred to the executive
committee, who shall consult with and
work In conjunction with tin horticultural
department of the State Hoard of Agricul
ture. I luriner recommend that JP) i)tf
set aside this coming year toward the
iiiiikiiik oi mi pxiciimvo collection ot our
IrtlltS to be liresorved In nloiltnl One ,i.
eiety Hhould always be ready lo mnke an
exhibit of our frult-i nnd to do this we
inusi prepare many sample in this way to
b nolo lo bridge over the eontlllgeuciu:i
llko wo havu passed through the' past rea
son. At our last meeting the experiment work
of this soclet whs placed lu oharge of u
committee of three', called the sunei Islne
committee, and one of the duties of this
commltteo was that It should make h per
sonal examination of the conditions of the

this time. I inn hopeful that great re
sults will come from this new departure
und that this work will be curried on with
that systematic harmony that wns Inau
gurated ono year nuo.
The experiment woik of this society,
wjilch was commenced uwny buck In the
Tus, has not ns yet reached that stage
where we e.in sum tin all the results of
our work. This work must necessarily bo
icft for another generation to muke n gen

tho past season was u good one for some
kinds of fruit nnd n poor one for others
Apples wero only n fair crop, but peaches
and small fruit did well nnd brought good
prices. Tho prospects nro regarded by nil
fruit growers ns excellent for n good crop
next year, ns conditions thus fur arc nil
that could bo desired.
W. O. Wlllard of Orlnnell reported for
his district that tho winter wns favorablo
and tho season of 1901 started out well for
all fruit. There was no killing frost In
tho spring. Hut In central lown apples
wcro n failure, owing In part .to tho fact
that tho preceding year had been an un
usually good ono. Cherries and plums, pro
duced well, especially tho young and
thrifty trees. Thoro arc not many pear
orchards In tho stntc, but Interest In tho
growing of pear Is on tho IncrenHe. Tho
peach trees that survived tho winter ot
1S98-9 bore n heuvy crop this year, soino
orchurds reporting 100 or more bushels of
fine fruit. New pencil orchards havo been
extensively planted tho present year. Tho
loss of grnpo vines has only in n measure
been replaced nnd the fruit was not ob largo
nor ns good this year as usunl. Tho straw,
berry crop was tho lorgcBt nnd finest for
years. Tho Benson was not good for rasp
berries. Currants and gooseberries did
well.
A. L. Pluiner of Ivy, Polk county for his
district reported thnt tho fruit trecB and
vines came through the preceding winter all
right, thnt tho peach trees wero loaded
with fruit, that there was a fair crop of
native; plums nnd thnt grapes woro fairly
abundant, but quality poor. In other re
spectB his report was much llko tho pro
ceding. H. Shontz of Correctlonvlllc reported for
northwestern lown. Tho year Just past tvns
a remarkable ono In that It started out as
desirable an posalblo with plenty ot mois
ture for all crops, nnd later wan poor. His
orchard mnde a fire growth. Tho strawberry
crop was especially fine, tho berries being
Inrgo nnd tho vines full. Thn blackberries
und raspberries t-et well, but tho season
was too dry. Grapes wero a full crop and
good prices wcro obtained. Plums and
cherries woro all right ond nhundnnt. Tho
early varieties of apples wero good, but not
bo wth tho later ones. The prospootw aro
good "for the next season..
Wllllnm Lnnghnm of Cedar Rnplds ro
ported that his portion of tho stato suffoied
from tho heat and drouth, but cherries,
plums, peaches, strawberries nnd raspber
ries wero a good crop, There was u great
deficiency In winter apples In tho district.
Cherries anil plums, wcro never bettor.
Among tho papers read was on excellent
ono by O. II. Harnhlll of Shenandoah on
"Success with Apples." Mr. Harnhlll said
that fcucccfls with nn orchard may not bo
determined by what an orchard docs every
year, for ono or two good crops mny pay for
nil the labor of an orchard covering mnny
yenrs. Ho urged that farmers should bo
willing to get good trees and lo pay fair
prices for them; that they should socuro
trees from reliable homo dealers and then
cultivate tho trees when young and caro
for them diligently. In this way ono may
havo bucccbb with orchardH.
Silas Town oi Cnnby told how ho saved
his orchard from the rabbits. His recipe
was simple. Ho mndo llhoral uso of axlo
grcaso on tho trees.
.1, Sexton of Ames urged that trees for
tho prnlrlo states should bo grown on tho
prairies; that tho trees should be started
right hern nnd not ho purchased In tho
south or rn8t. Tho purchaser should know
what kind of trees lie Is securing nnd hn
can do this best by purchasing of homo
