PEACE TERMS.
An Unconditional Surrender of
Every Island Demanded By
the Americans Made.
Paris, Nov. 28.—The joint peace
commissions met promptly at 2 o
clock this afternoon and the Span¬
ish commissioners immediately an¬
nounced the acceptance of the
American demands.
The Spanish acceptance was
made verbally.
The Spanish commissioners an-
nounced being authorized by their
government to reply that though
the American propositions are in¬
admissible on legal principles and
are not a proper compromise on le¬
gal principles, that on the Spanish
part all diplomatic resources are
exhausted and that Spain inspired
by reasons of patriotism and hu¬
manity and to avoid the horrors of
war, resigns herself to the power of
the victor. She accepts the offered
conditions unconditionally in order
to conclude a treaty of peace.
The American demands include
the acquisition of the whole of the
Philippine and Sulu groups for
.$ 20,ocx),000, and it is also under¬
stood the United States will pur¬
chase the Caroline group.
The question of the debt of Cu¬
ba, was left unsettled.
The secretaries were then em¬
powered to prepare the treaty ar¬
ticles embodying the cession of
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip¬
pines, and the payment by the
United States of .$20,000,000 for
submission to the next meeting,
which will be held Wednesday next.
GENERAL EUROPEAN RESENTMENT
IS PREDICTED.
There is no denying that the
whole European contingent will
bitterly resent American acquisi¬
tion of the Philippines. This sen¬
timent is not confined to diplomats,
but especially here in Paris it is the
opinion constantly heard in the
highest Fench society. It is known
that a high official of the French
foreign office said yesterday :
“The appearance of the Ameri¬
cans in eastern waters is a disturb-
ing factor to the whole of Europe.
Americans, as is well known, lack
diplomatic manners and will surely
bring constant trouble to all of us.”
As to the general sentiment, Mr.
William T. Stead who has just re¬
turned here from a tour of France,
Belgium, Germany, Russia, Aus¬
tria, Turkey and Italy, and who
has seen the highest politicians in
each country, and in some cases
their riders, said today to a corres¬
pondent of the Associated Press :
“The immense majority of Euro¬
peans are, of course, absolutely ig¬
norant of what has happened. In-
j tent upon their daily toil, they
neither know nor care what occurs
in the other hemisphere. But Eu¬
ropeans who read the newspapers
are able to form what may be call¬
ed ‘public opinion’ in the old world.
They are practically unanimous on
the matter. Outside of England I
have not met a single non-Ameri-
can who was not opposed to the
expansion of America. Nor

Washington, Nov. 2S.—The war
department, . of the
m view assur-
ances that a peace treaty will be
signed, is arranging to muster out
more troops. It is probable that
from 30,000 to 40,000 volunteers
will be mustered out as soon as se-
lection of regiments can be made
There has been quite a demand for
the return of troops from Manilla,
but no troops will be brought from
the Philippines unless they are re-
placed by others.
With the acceotance of the
American terms by the Spanish
commissioners, any further possi-
: bilities of a renewal of hostilities
| with Spain is at an end and the on-
h necessity.for troops now is for
garrison duty.

SHIRE HORSES.
Said to Be the Finest Draft Horses In
England.
The catalogues of current agricultural
shows bring to light one of the little
noticed changes which have taken place
around us within the last quarter of a
century. Those who are middle aged
can remember when the Cleveland bays
and sorrel Suffolk punches were the
only first class breeds of draft horses
known, except the heavy Lincolnshire
blacks, which were the pride of London
brewers. When the Flemish strain was
introduced, and so greatly improved the
Lincolnshire that instead of the slow
mil,A

ENGLISH SHIRE STALLION PAXTON,
and stately 2% miles an hour which
had been its maximum rate of move-
meat it could compass four miles in the
same time, the breeders thought that
they had achieved wonders.
Then came the Clydesdale, and it is
difficult to realize the fact that only 22
years ago the catalogues of the Royal
Agricultural society recognized only
Clydesdales and Suffolks as established
breeds of draft horses. Now, of course,
the Shire horse sweeps the board, but
it isstill permissible to lament the pres¬
ent rarity of the beautiful dapple gray
cart horse of only two decades ago.
Now we have bays and browns and
roans iu plenty, but there was a time
when the maxim that “a good horse is
always a good color” xvas illustrated in
every street by the beautifully marked
grays which walked so proudly—albeit
rather slowly—before the wagons of the
period.
The Cleveland and the Suffolk, and
the Lincolnshire, the great Flemish
horse and the Clydesdale may still be
found in perfection, but the Shire horse
is sweeping all before it and will in
turn give place to new and superior
types—unless, indeed, the evolution of
that finest of all domesticated animals,
the British draft horse, is abruptly ter¬
minated at this point by the adoption
of motor traction.—London Globe.
Good Feeders Cheapest.
It has been the experience of cattle
feeders that they must either feed good
stock or very cheap stock in order to
make money. The feeder who gets a
lot of cattle that will make a good gain
and put it in the right place is in best
position to make money if other things
are ordinarily favorable. The advance
per hundredweight on the whole steer
is greatest on the best kind. The cattle
that are of a coarser quality, though
they may mako just as many pounds
gain, do not have the advantage of such
an advance over first cost. But very
cheap cattle often make more money
than the other kind because they sell
for such an advance over first cost when
made fleshy. They may still sell low
as compared with good cattle and must
do bo as a rule because they are of a
low quality that no amount of feed will
make good. It may be added that there
are very few of these cattle to be had
now. The cheap quality cattle have
sold high as compared with better kinds
for a long time. This year the best seem
to be the cheapest feeders and the cheap¬
est the dearest.—National Stockman.
Home Grown Beef.
It is possible to profitably grow on
every Jarge farm some young cattle
that at 2 or 8 years old can be turned
off for beef without seriously lessening
farm products in any way. We have
known dairymen to do this, feeding
this young stock with much that they
could not feed to cows without affect¬
ing the quality of the milk. Such young
stock when fattened will make beef,
for which a ready sale can be had by
the side or quarter in every neighbor¬
hood. If it is killed in cold weather,
the meat may be kept frozen for weeks
at a time, so that much of it may be
used fresh. That which is salted will
be almost equally appreciated next
spring and summer. Every farmer used
to barrel one or two beeves every year.
Now most of them only put up pork
for the meat supply. The change has
not been a good one either for the pocket
or for the health of the farming popu¬
lation.
Feeding Raisins to Horses.
One of the remarkable effects of the
dry season has been the feeding of rai
sins to horses in the San Joaquin valley,
California, the raisins being third class
stock or stock that has been rain dam¬
aged. These raisins had been selling to
the wineries at prices ranging from $18
to $20 per ton, when it occurred to
some enterprising farmers that at such
a price it might be better to feed the
fruit to horses than to pay $30 or $32
per ton for crushed barley.
JAPAN PREPARES Til
She is Landing Troops in Corea
to Drive the Czar From the
Hermit’s Kingdom.
Victoria, B. C., Nov. 28.—The
steamer Glenogle has arrived here
after a tempestuous passage, bring¬
ing an interesting budget of news
from the restless east.
From Tien Tsin comes news
which shows that Japan has decid¬
ed to resist Russia aggression. She
is preparing to drive the czar’s
troops from Corea and to this end
large detachments of are being land¬
ed in the Hermit’s Kingdom.
News is also had from Tein Tsin
that a large number of Japanese
spies have been captured by the
Russians at Port Arthur and shot.
Seven Japanese, all officers of the
Imperal Japanese army,were taken,
and on their persons were found
drawings of the principal fortifica¬
tions. But a day elapsed after their
capture before they were marched
out before a firing party of Rus¬
sians and summarily shot.
REBELS GROW IN POWER.
The rebels in Chung King, ac¬
cording to advices by the Glenogle,
are increasing in power daily. The
Tung Liang and How Chow rail¬
way is completely under their con¬
trol. They have compelled well-to-
do people to provide them with
money and provisions and are mak¬
ing weapons day and night. The
merchants in Chung King have
wired to Shanghai and other coast
ports stopping the shipments of
goods. The rebels are daily com¬
mitting atrocities of every sort and
kind. One of their leaders Yin.
went to the governor of Lung Shui
Chin and demand a large sum of
money, was refused, and the rebels,
2,000 strong, plundered the town,
killing hundreds.
Two days afterward they went
to Tung Liang and demolished the
houses of the Christians, massacre-
i n g those \\ ho tried to escape with
shocking brutality. They then de-
clared that they had gone to that
city especially to oppose foreigners
and Christians. Others, they said,
were not to be molested unless they
offered resistance.
Two French priests and a mis¬
sionary C. M. S. had gone to the
magistrate Yamen for shelter, and
late in the afternoon rebels went to
the magistrate and asked that they
be delivered up. The magistrate
refused, but afterwards relented
and allowed the rebels to enter the
Yamen to to take the missionaries.
The Methodist drew a revolver and
resisted and was at once killed.
The two French priests were bound
and carried away as prisoners. The
rebels then retired to Wang Choa
Tung. They are, it is said, seizing
and murdering Christians almost
daily.
CRISIS IN COREA.
According to the reports from
Chemulpo matters have reached a
grave crisis in Corea. The emper-
or is being worried to death with
petitions by the Independent club,
who are forcing his hand to dismiss
some of the higher ministers, when
the whole phalanx of the Independ¬
ent club will invade the palace and
take charge of the government’s
affairs.
The execution of the unfortunates
accused of the attempt to poison the
emperor was a ghastly affair. The
doomed were taken from a scaffold
by a mob on which they were to be
executed.
Then began one of the most grue-
some exhibitions of savagery and
bloodthirstiness ever seen in any
and most even devilish when md.gm.es life was-Gn^e .mag n-
able were heaped on the mangled
and bleeding remains.
Considerable excitement prevails
in Pekin among the Manchu faction
over the action of the empress
dowager in bestowing upon Tsi
Chi, prince of Tuan, and Prince
Xasi Lien, a sword called the
“Shang Fand” sword, which car-
ries whith it the right to behead
any person regardless of rank or
dignity, without first asking pre-
mission from the throne. This is
to guard against sudden signs of
treachery. Although the Shang
Fand sword has been an institution
in the country ever since the earli-
est Chinese history,it has only been
. bestowed , . . .
once before during , the .
dynasty, and to the Mongol gener¬
al, Si Shang, who was appointed
by the late Emperior Hsien Fong
special generalissimo of the imperi-
al forces acting against the Tiping
rebels.
“SHE CLINGS TO RUSSIA. » *
The Japan Times, speaking of
the critical state of affairs at Pekin,
says :
“The real fear in the heart of the
empress is that the Manchu dynas¬
ty will go the way of previous
dynasties, so she clings to Russia as
her strongest support.”
The Japanese government has
ordered another new battleship,
which is to be constructed by Mes-
srs. Vickers Sons & Mavne, of the
Naval Construction works, Bar¬
row-in-Furness. It will exceed
anything yet built in
size and offensive and defensive
qualities. It will be over 15,000
tons displacement.
Disquieting rumors come from
Hinoura, Shirikishi, Uchimura and
Oshima, where people ars subsist¬
ing on bamboo and other roots,ow¬
ing to the scarcity of rice,-and the
sardine fisheries, which have here¬
tofore furnished lucrative occupa¬
tion but have proven a failure this
season. They are on the event of
an outbreak, and the most stringent
measures have been taken by the
government to prevent an uprising.
Steps have been taken to shiatt. } ie
necessary supplies until such til 11
as they can resume their usual vo¬
cations. ^
The Chinese government hat is¬
sued a special gazette prohibiting
exportation of Japanese yen into
Pahing district. The cause assign¬
ed or such action is that the Palfp) g
province is bitter against the Jap¬
anese government, and will not re¬
cognize the coin of the realm.

gers was Captain Fred W. Keye,

volunteers, who left Manila on Oc¬
tober 26th on a leave of absence.

DISCOVERED BY A WOMEN.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too by a lady in
this country. “Disease fastened
its clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were un¬
dermined and death seemed immi¬
nent. For three months she cough¬
ed incessantly, and could not sleep.
She finally discovered a way to re¬
covery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, and was so much re¬
lieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bot¬
tles. has been absolutely cured.
Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.’

FILLING THE SILO.
1 OP scattertn**
IMnoe of Korkins and Trumping;,
Mr. John Gould of Ohio has boon
studying the matter of dispensing large-
)y with the labor generally given to
scattering and tramping the ensilage in
the pits. He quickly came to the con-
elusion from practice that both were
largely unnecessary, if the ensilage
wheu it went into the silo could be
made to fall pretty nearly level upon
the surface. The weight of each ton of
/ A

A BLOCK ENSILAGE DISTRIBUTER,
ensilage was quite as great a settling
force as a man who weighed only about
one-fourteenth as much. As related by
himself in an illustrated article in Bu-
ral New Yorker, Mr. Gould’s experience
in the matter was as follows:
Our first attempt to solve this self
distribution was a fair success and
pretty nearly dispensed with the labor
of scattering the ensilage. A pyramid
made of light boards 4 feet on a side at
the base and 4 feet 6 inches high was
set on two scantlings placed across the
top of the silo. Over the pyramid a
hopper box was placed so that the eu-
silage must fall upon the apex of the
pyramid, and the slant of it gave the
ensilage a shunt which sent it tc the
walls of the silo. By partially turning
it the corners of the silo would be
pretty nearly filled, so nearly that but
little fork work was required. Nearly
over the hopper a header board was set,
so that the ensilage, as it was thrown
from the end of the carrier, was arrest¬
ed in its flight and made to drop into
the hopper. By this means the cut ears
were not thrown all on one side of the
pit, but, dropping upon the apex with
the lighter stalks, were pretty well
mixed.
The labor of keeping the ensilage dis¬
tributed was greatly lessened until the
silo was pretty nearly filled, when the
slant would only partially accomplish
its mission, and then more hand work
had to be done. By reference to the first
figure, it will be seen that A is the
header board to be placed in front of
the oarrier to make the ensilage fall
into the hopper B; G is the pyramid
resting on the two scantlings EE, and
D is the silo pit.
The next device to accomplish the
work was to take the same hopper and
header board, but instead of the pyra¬
mid a “hose” made of five or six phos¬
phate sacks with bottoms cut through
and ends sewed together, was fastened
to the underside of the hopper. On the
lower end of this baggy hose a cord
was attached, and as the ensilage came
down the shoot a boy leads the end of
the bag around here and there in silo,
keeping the surface level, or sides the
highest at the walls if so desired, and
the grain is left exactly where it falls.
As the pit fills a sack is taken off now
and then, and the filling proceeds. By
this plan, there is no lifting or forking
until the silo is so full that there can

be no further fall in the hose. In (he
