The Agricultural Interests ;oi we aouiu. Colored Labor pnreliablef-Depre I I elation of Valpesi , ' I By Telegrapn to the Morning Star. ' Washington, June 22.-Joseph B. Ager, president of the Maryland State Grange, was before the industrial commission to-day. . He said that a trust among the farmers such as was suggested by Mr. Havemeyer, was im practicable, owing to the difficulty of setting the farmers to hold up prices Speaking of colored labor, he said it was unreliable because of the natural indolence and indifference of individ uals of the colored race. Liquor, he regards as the great bane of that peo ple and responsible for nine tenths of tl e crimes committed by them. (Mr. Ager ' Iconsidered the condition of the average farmer as worse than it was twenty years ago, but he believed money invested in farming safer than in rthi lines of business. , l. W. Youmans, of South Carolina, occupied the witness stand during the afternoon session. He said the agri cultural interest of the South was greatly depressed, and he attributed the depression to the fact that silver was not recognized as a money metal. He said there had not been an increase of the volume of money to correspond with the increase of population. As a consequence there Tiad been a general depreciation of values. He was pro ceeding to develop his views upon this point when1 Major Farquhar made a point fit order against the character of the Aestimony, and this point was sus tained by the chair (Hon. A. L. Har ris) after a somewhat spirited encoun ter between Representative Livingston land the Republican members. . I Mr. Youmans then 'proceeded to other considerations. He thought the tariff also an obstacle to progress, say ing that while the cotton-grower of the 'United States was compelled to com pete with the cheap labor of the world in sales abroad, he was not allowed to buy the product of that labor in other articles abroad without paying a duty of 40 per cent, upon it. As remedies , he suggested the free coinage of silver, a lower tariff and local banks of issue. He had j tried the diversification of crops and had not been successful. Mr. Youmans said he had no fault I to find with colored labor and that -he ' preferred it infinitely to imported labo. "I employ 300 or 400 negroes," he said, "and I find them docile and willing to work. .1 go away and leave my family among them, feeling confi dent of their safety and protection." He thought, however, that the negro was, as a rule, irresponsive to the effort to educate him, and while he willingly paid his share for such efforts at education, he considered the money so spent as thrown away. FRANCE'S NEW CABINET. British Governor and Residents Extended a Hearty Welcome to the Visitor. SILVER CASKET PRESENTED. Formation i of Senator Waldeck-Rosseau, ' President of Council Gen. Galli 1 fet Minister of War. j ! Br Cable to the Morning Star. ' Paris! !iuneI22. Senator Waldeck Rosseau 1vas recalled to the Ely see palace this morning where President Loubet proposed that he form a cabi net immediately. . '. liatej this afternoon the announce ment was made that Senator Waldeck' Rousseau had completed the forma tion of a cabinet. The Senator accompanied by the new cabinet .ministers, proceeded tothe , Ely see palace, at 6:10 P. M., to pre- ' sent 'his j colleagues to President i" Loubet. i i The new cabinet, as organized, is as : follbws;' :l Senator Waldeck-Rousseau, Presi I dent of the Council of Ministers and J Minister of the Interior ; Del Casse,Min l isterof Foreign Affairs; General The 1 Marquis dex Gallifet, Minister of War; De Lanessand, Minister of Marine ; Monis, Minister of Justice ; Caillaux, Minister of , Finance;) Millerand, Min j isterj of Commerce-; Leygues, Minister I of Public Instruction; de Crais, Minis ij terif the Colonies;' Jean Dupuy, Min . ister of Agriculture ; Pierre Baudin, J Minister of Public Works. The appointment of General, the Marquis de Callifet, as Minister of ! War, is an extraordinary example of j the way in which the Dreyfus case has . f revolutionized politic conditions. For years past the' General has been the bugaboo of the extremists, not only I because I of his monarchical sympa i thles, but on account of the rigor Ijous manner in "which he9 took part in repressing tne commune. His entry into the cabinet is undoubt edly due to his attitude towards the Dreyfus case, which has been through out favorable to Dreyfus, although he holds that the proclamation of the prisoner's innocence should not in clude placing the responsibility for the apparent judicial blunders upon the general staff. - Senator-Waldeck Rousseau entered parliament from Rennes, where he once practiced law. ' . ., - Dreyfus at Rennes. Rennes, France, June 22. There is absolute ignorance here as to the ar rival of Captain Alfred Dreyfus.- The town is quiet.

With An Address As a Memento of the Visit Admiral Dewey's Reply Re- ;' ciprocating tbe Sentiments Ex pressed His Stay In Ceylon. By Cable to the Morning Star. Colombo, Ceylon, June 22. The United States cruiser Olympia, with Admiral Dewey on board, arrived here at 6 o'clock A. M. from Singapore, June 15th, saluted the forts ashore and was saluted by the latter in return. An aide de camp representing the Governor of Ceylon, Right Honorable Sir Joseph West' Ridgeway, boarded the Olympia at 7 o'clock this morning, in order to welcome the Admiral, and Colonel Savage, commanding the troops, called at 10 o'clock. The visits were returned by Admiral Dewey at 11 o'clock. ..i t He was received at the jetty by a Suard of honor, and amidst cheering, rove in the Governor's carriage to breakfast with Colonel Savage. The admiral afterward booked rooms at the Galloface Hotel and returned on board the Olympia at 1 o'clock. There he received a deputation representing the Planters' Association and the f!hmh(ir of Commerce, and was pre sented with a silver casket and an ad dress as a memento of his visit. . The admiral will remain in Ceylon about a week. He says that he had a good voyage from Singapore an,d that his health is fairly good. 7:50 P. M. The presentation of the casket to Admiral Dewey was made on board the Olympia, instead of in the council chamber, because hi doctor had forbidden him to participate in any official function. , The delegates also presented a thousand pounds of tea to the crew of the Olympia. The admiral, replying to the address of welcome, said he wished he could reply in adequate terms, reciprocating the sentiments expressed, but, he ad ded, he spoke from his heart when he said he deeply appreciated the wel come. Admiral Dewey added that he would have the very acceptablojtresent of tea distributed as desired, incidentally mentioning that he was a life-long tea-drinker himself, and assuring the delegation that "the address would be read at "Muster" and afterwards framed and preserved. The casket, he remarked, he would always keep on his table, and he told the delegates that he would report the matter to his government and describe the cor diality oi his reception. gontmuingr Admiral Dewey remarked "that cheer raised on the jetty when I landed went to the hearts of all of us. We are 14,000 miles from home, but that cheer will be heard in America, although the way in which it has touched me I shall never be able to fully express. "The two nations were never so closely allied by mutual sympathy and appreciation as now. The American people realized this during the late war, and you can imagine how all those who were at Manila and met Sir Edward Chichester (commander of the British first class cruiser Immor talite,) and his' gallant comrades, hold that feeling very deeply." A general conversation followed and, after toasting the "Anglo Saxon," and the prosperity of the two countries, the delegation departed. Mrs. Jane Graves Lodged la Jail at Vak dosta. Georgia A Sensa? tlonal Affair. By Telegraph to toe Morning Star.- Valdosta, Ga-i June 22. Mrs. Jane Graves of AlexandervUle.was brought here this morning and lodged in jail, on the charge of murdering herhus band. ;:' " . - The tragedy occurred Sunday and was reported as a case of suicide. The citizens in that 'community were not satisfied with this theory and the coro ner's jury investigated the case for two days. Enough circumstantial evidence was gotten to justify the arrest of the woman. It was feared Jor a while a hearing would develop into a lynching bee, so strong was the feeling. The most startling testimony was that of Oftorcrft Register, who worked with Graves and who stated that he saw Mrs. Graves 'shoot her husband, after which she threw tbe empty cartridges out of the weapon and hastily placed the pistol in his hand as he lay upon the floor in the throes of death. It is also stated that Graves and his wife had quarrelled because she had been out riding with a young man. She intended going out again in the afternoon, but he forbade her and the quarrel was renewed. Ac cording to .the statement of Register, she was in the kitchen when her hus band started to the lot to stop a boy from hitching up a horse with which she was going driving. As he crossed the porch t wo shots rang out and he dropped to the floor, dead in a mo ment The women is intelligent, neat and attractive, aged about forty years. She says that she does not know who did the killing. The case will prob ably outrank the famous Nobles case, as the parties stand higher in the com munity than the Nobles did. The murdered man was a prosperous mer and machinist. CUBAN REVILES CUBANS. TYPHOID FEVER IN CAMPS. BASE BALL BULLETIN..

" By Telegraph to the Moralnir Btar. ScrInton, Miss., June 22.--"We, the jury, find that deceased came to his death by climbing a tree, venturing too far out on a limb and breaking his neck." (Such was the verdict of the coroner's jury in the case of Daniel Patrick,, colored, who was lynched here yes terday for an assault upon Miss Bessie Ireland. Patrick confessed his crime and begged of the mob to! shoot him. He evidently feared burning at the stake and was glad to be let off with a rope and bullets. Three hundred of the most prominent men in the city participated in the lynching.

Details of the sentencing of Colonel Arguelles, a Filipino commissioner, to twelve years' imprisonment, have just been obtained here. It was at first reported that his condemnation by the Filipinos was due to the friendship he displayed towards Americans, but the informa tion just obtained shows the accusation against him was not based on his peace conference at Manila, as supposed. They confirm President Schurman's belief in his sincerity, and show that his advocacy of autonomy among the insurgents was treated as treason. The charge against the Colonel was that in conversation with Filipino officers he predicted that disorders within the insurgent terrritory would lead to civil war and, therefore, he said he considered autonomy under - the Americans more preferable than independence. The Filipino Con gress tried -him on the charge of treason ana a neatea aenate over au tonomy followed. Finally, the colonel was sentenced to death but this was commuted to twelve years' imprison ment, on account of his previous ser vices to the cause, after an eloquent plea upon', the part of his counsel. Colonel Arguelles is one of the most conservative and respected men identi fied with the insurrection. Rebels Encouraged. The rebels have learned that the American volunteers are returning to the United States and the Filipino newspapers show that they construe this to mean that the Americans are abandoning the war and are encour aged thereby. The outposts of the Washington regiment yesterday captured General Pio Del Pilar 's brass band, of eighty- two pieces, the members of which some now became separated from the rebel army and came near the Ameri can lines without having the means of resistance. Some Chinamen of Manila have filed a claim - against the instru ments, which, it appears, were leased by the musicians of General Pio del Pilar. J? By Telegraph to the Morning Star. I jLouisviLL, Kv., June 22. The second day of the Democratic Conven tion was a blank so far as proceedings of record go. Under the surface, how- Jr, it was a busy day-of electioneer g and wire-pulling. Two shorts ses obs were held, one in the morning an& one in the evening. At the for mer, committees were appointed and a recess was .taken . until evening to allow them 'to work. This evening, the credentialst commitee, haying scarcely begun its work, the conven tion adjourned until 9 o'clock- to-morrow morning. The committee will.have to depose of some three hundred seats. Its de liberations will govern the length of the convention, and if radical action be taken in any one direction, it may effectively influence nominations. The Stone-Goebel combination is still master of the situation, having control of the machinery of the convention. This was demonstrated twice to-day in the forcing of an adjournment. ' Chairman Red wine and the other temporary officers, it is believed,, will be retainetbra the permanent organiza tion. i To night the Hardin people are busy working on the Stone delegation, for it is in this direction their only hope lies. They are using the argument that the Goebel followers aro using the Stone-Goebel combination for purely selfish purposes and that they will attempt to nominate tbe Kenton county leader for Governor, regard less of the tacit understanding that Stone should receive this prize. Mean while there is no sign of weakness in the combination. Stone or Goebel may be nominated for Governor and the report of the committee on cre dentials may decide the race. The make-up of the remainder of the ticket will depend upon the selection for Governor. The platform will de clare for Bryan and silver and is li.kely to contain an anti-trust plank. Countries That Have Consular Represents tlon Mnrder of Minnie Ross Brit--! ish Consul Takes Charge of Her v . Effects Secret Service. By Cable to the Morning Star. Havana, June 22. General Enrique nollflzo. who was a I member of the staff of the late General Calixto Gar cia, and who from time to time has attacked the American military admin istration through the press of Havana, to-day denounced the Cubans for ac-" cepting money from the United States, and calls them "cowards" for doing so. He says: "Dignity should come before the calls of the stomach. What we want is that the interveners should con duct themselves as the American people at large desire, and not in ac cordance with the wishes of those here, and in Washington, who are seeking their personal enrichment through lucrative negotiations, i liet the administration define some policy that will enable us to know what to do to-day and in the future, 'and thnn art in accord with its Spirit. The American people recognize the truth in the. report of General Miles and dis regard General Alger's greed.: Let us speak out candidly and truthfully,, telling what we consider our duty and our rights. The Spaniards dominated here for four centuries without de Cubanizing us ; let us not become Americanized to day." ! . j Consular Representation. Great Britain, Germany, I France, Belgium, China, Mexico and Holland are the only countries thus far officially recognized as having consular repre sentation in Cuba. Their j consuls hav" e received exequaturs through Washington. There are thirty-four others who claim to be consuls, ' but they cannot be "officially recognized, as their credentials are addressed to the Spanish government. "I Mr. Carden, the British consul gen eral, will take charge of the money and other effects of the late Minnie Ross, who was found murdered in a house in Animas street last Sunday morning. She was a Canadian, and her relatives have wired instructions from Toronto. There arei several thousand dollars belonging to her estate here and it is understood that she had $30,000 on deposit in a Florida bank. i . ; The secret service is doing excellent work. The latest report shows that since June list the detectives have captured seven criminals whose iden tity was not suspected when the crimes with which they are charged were committed, twenty-eight con nected with recent offences, and well known, and sixteen for whom the au thorities have been looking for nearly three years.

WAsmNOTOW, June 22. The board appointedbyJhe War Department at the instance of the Surgeon General to study the distribution of typhoid fever in army camps, is engaged in arranging the data collected, prepara inrvtn makiu? its final report The collection of statistics is about com pleted and the members of the board hope to have their information chartd and tabulated by the end of July. This board is the first that has ever been appointed to study the propaga tion of disease in army camps by Jthe history of individual regiments. ' The board nas gone mruier, uuitdtw, taking the company as the unit and tracing tbe history of all intestinal dis orders and all cases of malaria and fever of every sort thatappears on the sick report. 43wing to the fact that some of the regiments were alleged to be infected with typhoid fever germs before coming to the large camps it has been necessary to trace their history back to their State camps and even to trace the history of individuals before they entered the service. i The report will i indicate that j the water supply hatL-practically little to do with the spread ! of typhoid. This is contrary to all j previous medical theory in typhoid propagation, The appearance and spread of the disease, the report will say, indicates that it was transmitted through the atmos phere, by " wind .carrying about dust containing the dried gems of typhoid and by the agency of flies. .1 Z "ill .1 J I I , June 22.-New York, t V W A A V T . e. sr vmno tit 9 Cincinnati, 5. ; vrTy 15 St.i.OUiS,. - ..y-s r fjf, H n, : ywveiana, v.- SCSSOQSOS'CS' -M.
