Schley’s Request Granted by the
Secretary of War.
REGULAR NAVAL COURT WILL BE CALLED
Admiral’» Conduct During Santiago Campaign
Will Be Fully Inveitigatcd a» Soon
at Hot Weather Is Over.
Washington. July 25.—Secretary
Long, in accordance with a request
from Admiral Schley, yesterday ad­
vised that officer that he would order
a court of inquiry to examine into the
entire matter of Admiral Schley’s
course in the Santiago naval cam­
paign.
Later, the secretary an­
nounced that, owing to the extremely
hot weather, the court would not
meet until September and that he
would turn over his reception room
to the court. The secretary said:
“It is too hot now and I do not be­
lieve it would be very comfortable for
officers to sit in their heavy, full dress
uniforms during August. I issued
an order some time ago dispensing
with the wearing of full dress uni­
forms during a court martial, but this
case will be so important that every
form of official dignity will be ob­
served, even to the guard of marines
at the door. ”
“Will the sessions of the court be
open?” was asked.
“Unquestionably,” was the em­
phatic reply.
“I propose to make
that fact very plain. It would be a
great mistake to have a secret court.
The country has the right to know all
that transpires in the way of testi­
mony offered. Personally, I should
be very glad to have a court composed
of a larger number of officers, but the
naval regulations restrict me to the
selection of three.
I hope to an­
nounce the personnel of the court to­
morrow and this will give the judge
advocate and the recorder ample time
to prepare a list of witnesses who are
to be summoned. 1’ do not believe
that the session of the court will be
prolonged, because after all, a great
deal of the talk over the Santiago
campaign is like the genii’s vapor,
which can be condensed in a small
bottle. ”
“Will Admiral Schley be allowed
I
to name witnesses?”
“Admiral Schley. ” was the reply,
“will be afforded every opportunity
for the appearance of all witnesses he
may desire. He is also entitled, un­
der the naval regulations, to be repre­
sented by counsel.”
While Secretary Long was not asked
whether the court of inquiry would
be asked to form and submit an opin­
ion upon the facts disclosed by the
investigation, it is considered quite
probable that this course will be pur­
sued.
Unless the order convening
the court expressly requires this opin­
ion to l»e expressed, its report must
be confined to stating the facts found.
Although no positive declaration
has l»een given on the personnel of
the court, it is assumed about the
navy department that Admiral Dewey
will be president of the court. There
is an impression that the two other
members of the court will be retired
naval officers, or at least officers who
had no connection with the Santiago
campaign. The selection of retired
officers will have a double advantage

Nome City Brings News of Large

Port Townsend, July 26. — Tha

from Nome, biinging 23 passengers.
The passengers report marvelously
rich strikes in the Fairhaven district,
90 miles north of Nome, and that a

The Blue­
stone district is still frozen, and it
will be some weeks before miners will
be able to commence sluicing. The
Kougarok district is also backward,

Boise, Idaho, July 25.—At yester­
day morning’s session of the Inter­
national Mining Congress the com­
mittee on credentials reported and the
rc|s>rt was adopted. The remainder
of the session was devoted to reading
and discussion of papers.
The following resolutions, offered
by President Prince, were adopted :
“Resolved, that the magnitude and
importance of the mining industry,
which has now reached over $1,(MM).-
000.000 of annual product, call for.
the establishment of a national de­
partment of mining, the chief officer
of which shall lie a member of the
president ’s cabinet.
“Resolved, That the congress of the
United States be respectfully request­
ed to provide by law for the locating
and working of mines of the reserved
minerals—gold, silver and quicksilver
— on Spanish and Mexican land
grants. ”
Another resolution adopted was the
following:
“Resolved, That in the opinion of
the International Mining Congress,
it is not to the best interests of min­
ing that undeveloped mines or pros­
pects be placed on the ‘boards’ or
‘lists’ of mining exchanges and
offered for sale to the general public.”
The session yesterday was enlivened
by an animated discussion aroused by
the reading of a paper by Judge W.
B. Heyburn on “Amendment of the
Mining Law.”
The judge said, in
speaking of the conflicts arising over
locations because of the uncertainty
of the strike of the vein :
“I propose a solution—that all end
lines shall be parallel. When the
first locator goes to the recorder’s
office to file on his claims he should
give notification that he has discov­
ered a new ledge. Then let the near­
est deputy marshal surveyor go #to
that vein, determine its exact course
and then compel all locators to make
their end lines parallel with the first
claim.” The discussion covered the
entire field of controversy.
The delegates are practically a unit
on the proposition to work for the
establishment of a department of
mines at Washington, with a secre­
tary who shall be a member of the pres­
ident’s cabinet. A committee will
be appointed to visit Washington dur­
ing the coming session of congress
and press the question. There was a
committee appointed on legislation at
the Milwaukee session last year.
Their efforts, however, were direct ’d
in the main, to securing changes in
the present national mining laws,
which were adopted many yearB ago
and have not been sufficiently amend­
ed.

Ai lcinir a Permanent Pasture.
On many farms It would certainly
pay to abandon the old pasture as soon
as possible, and do the work necessary
to get the uew held In shape. Most
farmers are not Inclined to take for

able for that purpose, and which might

In the country recommends the follow­
ing mixture for permanent pasture:
Red clover, (> pounds; Alslke clover, 4
pounds; Kentucky bluegrass. 3Mj
pounds; orchard grass, 3V4 pounds;
meadow fescue. 3^ pounds; redtop, 31-a
pounds, timothy. 3 pounds. These seeds
are well mixed, and the tuiallty given Is
the seeding for an acre. The seeding Is
done about the 1st of September, after
preparing the ground thoroughly during
the summer. If started at once the
ground may be plowed now and sowed
to buckwheat, which should be plowed
under when in bloom. This would add
the desired humus to the soil. After
plowing under the buckwheat, just be­
fore the sowing of the grass seed mix­
ture, the ground should receive the fol­
lowing fertilizer: One hundred pounds
of acid phosphate, thirty pounds of
dried blood, twenty pounds of nitrate
of soda and thirty pounds of muriate of
potash. This gives 180 pounds of mix­
ture to the acre, to be well harrowed in
before the seed Is sown. After the seed
la sown, the ground should be well
rolled. The first season after seeding,
the grass might be cut. but the cattle
should not l»e turned into the field until
the second year.
The Plum t'arcn’lo.
In an old book we read some years
ago a report from some one who tried
the experiment of taking a rough board
some six or eight feet long and coating
It with coal tar, then nailing it to a
pole that would raise the board well up
among the branches of the plum tree. I
The odor of the coal tar was so often !
give to the curculio that he had as
many plums as the tree ought to stand
up undT. although they had not pro­
duced a crop before for some years,
and he had threatened to cut them
down. The boards should be put up
when the trees are in full bloom. He
was led to try It by the fact that an­
other had obtained a crop from a tree
near which he put up a building and
covered the roof with coal tar. If so
simple a remedy will drive away those
troublesome insects It should be known
generally, as It Is but little trouble or
expense, though to be entirely effectual
we think the tar should be renewed as
often as every two or three weeks, as
the curculio Is about nearly from the
time the fruit sets until It ripens. The
poles or boards may be tied up to pre­

Infertility of K -<s-
There has been tnuca complaint th«
last season aur;; pvG.trymen of the
small portion of chicks hatched from
each setting of eggs, whether placed In
the incubator or with the old hen. Nat­
urally there are various reasons given
for this loss, but mainly under the gen­
eral heading of infertility of the eggs.
Every one who hns handled poultry
knows there are various causes for in­
fertility. There may be a weakness in
the structure of the hen or of the cock.
Also the feed has a great deal to do
with the fertility of the egg. A hen
that Is overfed or kept very fat Is not
as likely to lay fertile eggs as one that
Is thinner. The food given to the laying
hen has also something to do with th«
Infertility of eggs, for hens kept largely
on a diet of corn will produce eggs that
are much more likely to be Infertile
than those from hens fed on a variety
of foods. Meat foods nml green foods
are absolutely essential for laying
fowls, If we would have from them
eggs strong In fertility. The head of
the flock should also receive careful
attention, as he must be well fed and
not permitted to run with too many
hens.
Cold Mora •• oa Farias.
There are few farms where a suf­
ficient quantity of fruit or vegetables Is
grown to warrant the erection and
operation of a cold storage plant; on
the other hand, the suggestion that
such a plant could be built and op­
erated profitably In any section where
the fruit crop of a dozen growers was
very large is worth consideration.
Such a plant could readily l»e operated
on the co-operative plan at compara­
tively small expense to each share­
holder. With apples, for Instance, It is
only possible to get the highest prices
for winter fruit by holding the crop in
cold storage until late winter. As this
Is now done the grower obtains but a
