At first it was thought to be only an unimportant transfer of troops, but later developments of a startling nature go to show that there is uruent need for troops in the States of Sonora and Sinaloa, Mexico, where the native Yaquis are in a state of reliellion. Advices received per steamer Carlos Pacheco say that the expedition recently sent against the reliellious na tives has been defeated with great loss, and that several have been captured and put to torture. Governor Torres is mil itary commander of that zone, and is known to 1 a brave and intrepid officer. This movement of troops from Ensen vada indicates that a determined expe dition against the Yaquis has been out lined, and the troops are !eing mobilized at different points.

TO PREVENT SMUT IN WHEAT. linmersa tha Beed for a Short Time in Water Which la Hot Enough to Kli tha 8iorea-Blueatone Treatment. The Montana experiment station has just issued a bulletin on the prevention of smut In wheat and oats. The direc tions are the same as those heretofore given in these columns, but will bear re peating. The bluestone treatment, says the report, is no doubt the simplest and perhaps the most universal method, still it must be admitted that it lessens in some degree the germinating power of the seed, A solution made by using one pound of bluestone to two aa ilona ni wa ter will do the work elliciently if the grain is thoroughly wet uo. The two ganons will be enough for eight bushels of wheat; a little more will be required lor the same quantity of oats. The so lu tion may be made very rapidly by us ing warm water and breaking bluestone into fine particles. The most practical way of applying the solution is to spread the grain on a clean floor or in a tight wagou-oox ana stir it constantly while the solution is beimr annlied. an that. every kernel is wet. If the grain is well spread out after treatment, it will be reaoy to arm in a lew hours. Many fol low the plan of treating the irrain each evening for the next day's sowing. IIOT-WATKK TREATUHNT. This method consists in iminerslnvtlia seed for a short time in water which is hot enough to kill the smut snores, but it must not remain in lomr pnnnvh f..r the heat to injure its germinating powers. A temperature of 133 degrees Fahrenheit is sufficient to kill the spores, and will not damage the seed in the least, if it is not allowed to remain in the water more than fifteen minutes. The temperature must vary but little from this, not falling below 130 deurees nor rising above 1:15 degrees. The immersing vessel is not necessarily kept over a fire; the proper teniierature may be regulated by adding hot or cold water, as the case miv m. quire. Where a large quantity of seed is to be treated the use of a second boiler ia recommended for warming the grain preparatory to dipping into tiie scalding water. It may be kept at a temperature of 120 to 130 degrees. Thlf precaution win prevent tne sudden cooling of the water in the dipping tub or boiler below the proper temperature. A coarse gunny sack or wire basket lined with wire netting may be used for dipping. The grain Is Immersed in the nrst tub only for a minute, long enough to warm it Up to near the required tem perature; then it la put into the second tub, where the temperature is malntalne ! at 130 degrees, and it should remain there not lesa .;an t i r"r tn ' fifteen minu. i.

By one of these that portion of the bill authorizing the Inter state Commerce Commission to modify pooling ion tract between railroads. which in the opinion of the Commission- era enforces unreasonable rates or unjust discrimination, and riving the commis sion the power to enforce such an order, is stricken out. A substitute is sug gested, which provides that such an or- ler shall be made only after investiga tion. Instead of giving the commission authority to proceed to enforce the order the amendment authorizes an appeal to the Circuit Court of the United States either by the commission or any person interested.

The ex-Empress Eugenie has settled down into the solitude which best ena bles her to endure her memorable and cumulative sorrows. Her tall, sad fig ure goes in and out among us with only the recognition of silent sympathy. The empress likes to have communication with as few people as possible. For instance, when she shops she does her own shopping she likes to be waited on by the same salesman always. I was witness of an incident of this sort the other day. The empress walked into a well known west end shop and asked for Mr. , naming one of the bead men. She was told he was out, whereupon she remarked that she would cull again and went away. I was told that she certainly would come again ; that Mr. always waited on her, and that she would not be served by any one else. London Western Mail. A Caae of Contempt.

I Clean llorae Collar. One reason why horses gall their shoul ders when at work is the neglect of the attendant in keeping the portion of the collar that presses against the skin free from dirt or dandruff, which is constant ly gathering upon the leather. This is rolled into lumps by the friction of the collar against the shoulder in walking. At the beginning of the season's work the shoulder is tender, the hair long and lull ol dandrun, and when the work is Sweet of Solitude.
