$te3meeMia fc 1 A WATERLOO FOR THE BULLS, j Collapse of the Phillips Corner Millions of Bushels of Wheat, Corn and Oats ; Thrown On the Market. : By Telegraph to the Horning Star Chicago. April 3. Bulls in grain met their Waterloo on the Board of Trade to-day when millions of bushels pf long stuff were thrown overboard on crumbling quotations, which ceased fulling only a quarter of an hour be fore the close. Heavy bull sp-cu a tion headed by George EL Pbillips, who manipulated a .qurezein Noveai ber corn aud thereby obtained a large following, hd succeeded in keeping May corn up close to the 45 cents mark for beveral days last week. On Satur day professional short selling, rein forced by lucreasiog receipts, began to tell on the market. Phillips, credited wiib ho Id in ir nearly ten million bush els of com, about naif as much May oats, and two nr three millions May wheat, was called for f2Z5,UUU mar gins ti. responded promptly, ana on Monday it was thought t&e short sell ers had run their course. During the latter part of the Mouday 8-8in, how ever, the bears redoubled their efforts and it was said that Phillips was again called for $300,000 more margins. As there was no session yesterday. a measure of confidence began to run through the bull ranks.' Bears took advantage of the interim in this mar ket, however, to pound prices on the outside exchange and at Liverpool, and when the longs came up at the opening to-day they immediately saw thut their hopes were well nigh gone. Wheat started the panio by opening at a decline or a cent all around. Corn d'd likewise. Oats - were also very weak. Phillips1 brokers were said to be inactive. The bears were not, however, aud by noon the had the longs in a pocket. Millions of bushels of wheat, corn and oats were thrown on the. market, regardless of price. While Phillips let go im meuse holdings oo the decline there were no signs whatever of any finan cial difficulties on the exchange. SEVERE SNOW STORM . IN PENNSYLVANIA. Plttsbnrf the Centre Damage There Es timated at Over $250,000 Rail road Traffic Delayed By Telegraph to the Morning star. PiTTSBORO, Pa., April 3. Pittsburg was to day the centre of a snow storm that began early in the morning and continued with great force until after doing thousands of dollars worth of damage it rendered practically use less for a time every electric wire in the city, suspended an street car travel, and in the early hours isolated the city from tne outside world. Heavy rain fell before the storm came and all reports from up river points tell of rising streams which m-.y bring about a- flood here and below. The losses cannot be fixed to night, but conservative estimates place the amount at between 1250.000 and $300,000 Telegraph and telephone companies are the heaviest losers, be cause their linea reach every part of the storm district. Early in the morn ing a heavy wet snow began falling. It clung tenaciously to everything it touched, and by 9 o'clock every wire in the city was coated with snow.

All railroad trains from the-east are several hour late, having encountered in the moun tains snow to the depth of welve and fifteen inches, which was so wet and clinging that snow- plows could not clear the track. For a time it was feared there would be a blockade on both the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio roads, but to night all trains are getting through, but not on anything like schedule time. The Western Union and Postal Telegraph Companies suffered heavily, the former not having a wire on its regular eastern routes up to a late hour to night and the latter having only two as far east as Johnstown.

She Has Possession) of the Country The Japanese Are Bellicose Situation ia Pckla Indemnities Question Still Undetermined. By Cable to the Horning star. Pkkin, Apri 8 The Chinese gov ernment has formally notified Russia, that China, owing to the . attitude of the Powers, is not able to aign the Manchurian convention. . ' "IiisCnina's desire," aaya the for mal notiBcation, "to keep on friendly terms with all nations. At present she is going through a period which is the m st perilous tn the Umpire s history. and it is necessary that she should have the friendship of ail. "However much she might be will , ing to grant any special privilege to one Power, when others object it is impossible that, for the sake of mak ing one nation friendly, she should alienate the sympathies of all others." LA Hung Chang says this letter set tles the matter definitely, and that Russia was informally notified to thr same effect March 29ih. Prince Chi ng asserts that every Chi naman except Li Hung Chang was against signing the convention. Great Interest In Washington. Washington. April 3. Great inter est was manifested in official and dip lomatic circles to-night oer the Asso- a T" t. m -. - a . ' ' ciatea irress report irom ream that the Chinese finally bad determined not to sign the Manchurian agreement. No official information had reached this government or the principal foreign embassies. To the Russian ambassador. Count Cassini, the newa came as a great surprise, as he bad hoped for a successful conclusion of the conven tion. Russia, he said, had informed the Chinese government that she did not mean to take Manchuria and that her desire was to make such arrange ments as would avoid the repetition in the future of the Boxer troubles of last Summer. Toe ambassador declined, in the absence of official advices, to indicate what probably would be the future courSe of his government. Russia, in a measure at least, con trols the situation in Manchuria, as she has poi session of the country and the great mass of her soldiers now in Asia are within that territory. China having refused the terms specified by Russia, the Russians assert she may take her own good lime and retire from the country whenever she is inclined to do so , May Lead to Controversy. Should Russia continue in Man churia beyond a reasonable time. there is no obligation upon any Power to respect her title, and it may be predicted that thia sub .act will lead to controversy of the gitvyest charac , ter. ' I .The United States waf firm in its opinion that it was inexpedient . for the Chinese government to enter into a treaty with any of the Powers inter esitd in the present status of the Chinese situation pending the general settlement of the matters at mue; and this position, backed by the views of other governments, it is felt here, has been an important factor with the imperial government in determining tts attitude upon the Kussian agree ment. A Challenge to Japan. London, April 4 "The Japanese press continues very bellicos," says the Yokohama correspondent of the Daily Mail, wiring yesterday : "'Count Oku, (formerly premier and now leader of the opposition) declares, in the course of an incisive article, that Japan must assert herself or the work of thirty jears will be lost. Corea, he says, is not a Kussian chattel and Russia action ia a direct challenge to Japan." Question of Indemnities. Pekin. April 3. As soon as the generals of the Powers notify the minulerras to what disposition is de sired or articles vlll and ia. or the protocol, everything will be practic ally concluded except the indemnities, the only claims not ready 1 being the British, German and Japanese. The Germans say they can be ready in two days, and the Japanese assert that they can be ready at a moment's warn ing Private claims, however, can be filed until May 14th. A majority of the ministers are in favor of making a general claim as soon as the government claims are in, making allowances for a few thousand, for possible future claims. Although it is believed that all pri vate claims are now filed. Li Hung Chang and Prince Ching have sent to the court for approval a list of names presented by the ministers of the Powers for punishment. The death list has been reduced to four names for degradation and to ninety one for loss of office. No objection is anticipated, as the men are only prominent in local communities.

A cable gram has been received at the State . - . a r ueparimem irom uniteo oiaiea minis ter Allen, at Seoul, stating briefly that the McLeavy Brown difficulty has been satisfactorily adjusted. Brown was an . Englishman, charged wnn tne management of the Corean Customs Department, and it was reported that he bad been removed under Russian influence. Although Mr. Allen do? not state directly the basis of settle ment, it is known that his sympathies were strongly with Brown, so it is be lieved that the official must have been reinstated. The immediate result of this settlement is to remove what promised to be an ugly issue between the Ubited States and Russia, for the American minister's report shows clearly that Brown's removal would have seriously injured American com mercial interest m Corea. 3 When Traveling Whether on pleasure bent or business. take on every trip a bottle of 8yrup of Figs, as it acts most pleasantly and effectually on the kidneys, liver and bowels, preventing fevers, headaches and other forms of sickness.

Testimony of Representative of the Mer chants' Association of New York Be fore the Industrial Commission. . - ' - . By Teleffipb to tne Meralnz Btar. Washington, Aprils J. M. Lang ley, representing the. Merchants' As sociation of New York, to-day testi fied before tbe ' industrial commission that it was utterly useless for the Interstate Commerce Commission to attempt to govern freight classifica tion rates. The railroads, Mr. Lang ley staled.exercise power that amounts to arbitrary taxation, and in tbe mak ing of these classifications, which really amount to rate making, the merchants have no representation. The change, he said, in the territory south of tbe Ohio and east of the Missis sippi amounted to an advance of about two thirds in two hun dred items of classification and a complaint be bad made was dis missed by the roads as too general, de spite the wholesale nature of the ad vance. He cited a large number of instances of alleged ' discrimination between carload and leas than carload rates which he claimed to be unjasti- fiable. - There were two elasces of discrimi nation, he said arbitrary charge in classification and in broken bulk, the latter being the difference between rates on carload lots and on fractions thereof. The merchants contend that in the latter the rates are not governed by the cost of handling. The merchants in the Southern States, he contended, can distribute in their respective States goods on the old freight basis while a merchant outside is subjected to the advanced classification. This failure to recognise the general' classification rates on inter-state business ia with a view, be said, to building up the job bing interests of the particular State. The witness Said there are three classes of rates in the Southern terri tory that are higher than the highest rates in tbe trunk line territory. This higher tariff for tbe South may be due partly, he said, to lack of as a good railroad facilities in the South as else where and also to tbe light return traffic from the South. The witness regarded the discrimi nation as of a sectional nature and detrimental to the -South. He oon tended that the roads were afraid to make direct new rates, but that they accomplished the same end by shift ing items of freight from one class to another. "In other words," he aaid, "by manipulation for the benefit of certain Interests." The protests of the merchants is not primarily that the rates are advanced, but that the ad vances are made unequally and adds burdens to the small dealers. - Mr. Langley referred to the system of inspection of freight at stations and transfer points by inspectors employed by the roads and railroad associations, and charged that rates are often put by the inspectors "looking tbe other way," in inspecting freight of the larger and more powerful shippers. Thia right to open freight consign ments, the witness said, was assumed by the roads and the merchants did not object. Objection, he stated, would, not inure to their interest. Look!

GREEN PEA LOUSE. Terr Deatrvetlve In Some ot the .Great Pea Growing Reslona. Perhaps no Insect In recent years has attracted more attention than the de structive green pea louse. It became conspicuous, first, on account of its ravenous attacks upon pea fields, a crop heretofore practically Immune from the ravages of insects, and. sec ond, from the fact that it was a species SAVED BY BBTTSH AND CULTIVATOR. not recorded in science. It appeared last year from Maine along the Atlan tic coast southward to North Carolina and westward to Ohio, and it was ob served in Nova Scotia and Ottawa, Ont., and in Wisconsin. So states Pro fessor W. G. Johnson of Maryyland, who In a recent pnper records his ob servations on this pest as follows: Prom the first I have held that this Insect is probably a clover pest. It has been observed upon both red and crim son clover, and this season hundreds of acres of red clover have been de stroyed by it. I am of opinion that red clover Is Its original food. Without doubt it is a native American Insect and has spread its attacks to crimson clover and peas. It was estimated last year (1899) that the total loss from the attacks of this creature along the Atlantic coast states was $3;O00,0OO and that the pea crop was only one-half the usual output A canned goods journal gathered the in formation that the crop of peas of the Atlantic coast this year (1900) . would not exceed one-third of what it was last year. We have shown conclusively in ex periments and work in the field that this insect can be kept in control to a very great extent if taken in hand in time. In the first place, tbe peas must be planted in rows 24 or 30 Inches apart and not broadcast or in drills, as has been tbe case over a wide area throughout the southern states. On the place of a . large packer of Balti more a 600. acre pea plantation was practically . saved by persistent efforts this season. All the methods from a practical standpoint were tried on this place, and it was found that the brush and cultivator method was the most effective. Forty men were engaged to work in the field, and the 600 acres were brushed ' and cultivated every third day for a period of two weeks. and tbe entire field was saved, netting the owner from 25,000 to 30,000 cases of peas of two dozen each. It Is a fact "not questioned by those who are famil iar with this plantation that had not this energetic fight been followed the greater portion of the peas would have been destroyed by the Insect. Last year the peas over the same area were broadcast, so there was no opportunity of fighting the pest, and 480 acres were entirely ruined by it. - The brush and cultivator method is a simple one. A good pine switch is used to brush tbe vines backward and forward ahead of tbe cultivator, drawn by one horse, and in this manner the insects are covered and a very large SAVED BY BRUSH AND PAN. proportion of them destroyed. The cul tivation should not be repeated until the third day, as it requires usually something over 48 hours for the de struction of tbe adult insects when covered witB earth. On this plantation we also sprayed a large acreage. Suf fice It to say that we have found that no spray can be used which can de stroy a percentage of insects large enough to warrant the expense of the operation. We have also used the "brush and pan," in which instance a bushel of lice were caught to each row 125 rods long. Many natural enemies, such as para sitic and predaceous Insects, have been found feeding upon this pest. The most important factor observed in Its destruction has been the fungous dis ease, Empusa apbidis, which destroys it in very large numbers under cer tain conditions. We feel that these si lent factors in nature are reducing the pest At any rate, the conditions are such that tbe farmer and canner have taken new hope. Wood Lota o Farms. The importance of establishing wood lots or shelter belts on farms that lack them is no less obvious than the neces sity of raising the staple crops. The provident farmer cannot really afford to buy firewood, fence posts or building timber any more than he can afford to buy corn and wheat A part if not all of the wood material used on the farm can and should be-grown there. The profit on this timber growth rightly be longs to tbe farmer, and it Is therefore one which economic agriculture cannot neglect Costly Rudeness. Not many years ago one of the most popular and expensive shops on upper Broadway was owned by a man or nueh skill In his particular line of work that his eccentricities of manner were toler ated for the sake of the excellence of his wares. He was ill natured and cross grained to a degree that made it difficult for customers to deal with bun- Advanc ing age did not make bis disposition any more agreeable, and finally his piitmnjtge dwindled away. Nowadays he occupies, a cellar, and his business has come to be of an entirely different character from thai he controlled only a few years ago. A florist who was at one time the' own er of a prosperous establishment acquired the same reputation among his clients. and he is now in charge of a basket of flowers near a department store. Both of these men are known to have ruuitHi themselves commercially only through their manner of dealing with customers and are striking instances of tbe value of politeness in retail business.
