DECLARES ASSASSIN
Man Who Killed Grand Duk«
Makes Statement.
OTHERS ARE DOOMED TO PERISH
Claim Is M-.de that the C:«< Is a Too
in the Hands of His .Relativcn
Grand Duke Paul's Rank Restorec
to Him by Czar.
Moscow, Feb. 21.—The assassin ol
Grand Duk° Sergius maintains an at
titude of profound indifference.
When pressed to reply to questions
he declared that all the efforts of the
authorities would have no result, lie
fore his victim was laid under eartfc
• other victims would be found,
garding his motives the assassin said
he only acted In the interests of op
pressed people. He considered his
deed was an act of duty. The grand
dukes had for years violated every
canon of ordinary decency and ruined
the country while exploiting the weak
will of the emperor for their own ends.
They had made him a tyrant so that
the people hate him. He was aware
that the emperor was an Innocet dupe
and his party had decided to deliver
the emperor from the evil Influences
surrounding him In the hope that he
some day would Join In the movement
and become the head ot a national gov
ernment based on western lines.
Neither the police nor the spies, the
assassin said, will bo able to protect
those who are doomed to death.
NO PEACE OVERTURES
MADE BY RUSSIANS
Franco Is Hopeful That She
May Be Mediator.
NOTHING SAID TO JAPAN AS V?T
Grand Duke’s Rank Restored.
St. Petersburg. Feb. 21.—It Is offi
cially announced that Gratwl Dulw
Paul has been re-admitted.to the Rus
sinn army with his iermer rank of lieu
tenant general and aidc-do-camp g°n-
eral.
Eydtkuhnen, Prussia, Fob. 21.—
Grand Duke pnul proceeded to St. Po.
tersburg alone, no permission having
joeen received for the grand duchess,
his morganatic wife, to cross the Rus
sian frontier. She left here today
returning probably to Paris.
Caucasia Town Panic Stricken.
Baku, Caucasia, Feb. 21.—The town
is panic stricken, the banks are closed
and busines is suspended as a result
of yesterday’s disturbances and the nu
merous attacks of armed Mussulmans
on Armenians, which have been going
noiinced for Peace, but Minister
L-amsdroff Hasn’t Made a Move.
Paris, Feh. 23.—Russia has not glv
en any indication to France that she
is ready to take up the question of
peace and therefore the authorities
hero do not feel qualified to discuss the
St. Petersburg reports giving tho pre
cise terms. The reports are explain
ed substantially as follows:
’’The public sentiment has lately
been steadily augmenting throughout
Russia, particularly outside of St. Pe
tersburg and within recent days some
of the most Influential personages in
fit. Petersburg have come out favora
ble to peaco and have sought to Im
press responsible offliclajis that the
time has arrived to take definite ac
tion. However, those having the chief
responsibility, such as Foreign Minis
ter Lamsdorff, have not yet shown a
willingness to accept peaco arguments.
Therefore, so long as the Russian for
eign office la not prepared to accept
the peace view, it is considered doubt
ful of achievement. In spite of'this,
the peace reports are considered a
hopeful sign of a tendency in the high
est quarters toward peaco.”
Tho Japanese legation polnls out
that peace negotiations require certain
definite steps between tho parties, and
os Russia has not yet made the slight
est overture to Japan concerning terms
to Russia, in which position to elab
orate Pacific conditions.
The officials of the legation incline
to the view that tho St. Petersburg
reports were designed to soir official
sentiment In Japan. Whar Tokiu
will say is not known.

outpvitof all the rice-producing states
combined. Between 1899 and 1904 the Slate
rice acreago of Louisiana was in
creased Irom 201.0S5 acres, a* reported
by tho census, to 37G.50O acres, as now
estimated by tho department of agri
culture; that of Texas during tho
same period from 8.711 to 234,200

Discovery of tho Gulf Coast Rice Belt.
Undoubtedly the most important
event in the history of rice production
in the United States was the discovery
about J885 that rice colild be profit
ably grown by irrigation upon the prai
rie lands -of southwestern Louisiana
and southeastern Texas. The peculiar
character of these lands and their
adaptability to rica culture have since
revolutionized the industry of rice
growing and transformed this region
from comparative waste and desola
tion to thrift and prosperous activity.
These lands, now distinctively known
as the “rice belt,” extentd 20 to 90
miles in width from St. Mary’s parish
westward about 210 miles along the
coast of Louisiana and Texas and
comprise an area of about 12,000
square miles. They are traversed by
10 navigable rivers and numerous
lakes and bayous and lie from G to
38 foot above the level of the streams,
Consisting of a rich dark loam, easily
cultivated, their distinguishing char
acteristic as compared with tho rice
lands of eastern Louisiana and the Car
olines is that they are underlaid with
an Impervious subsoil, which permits
great economy in tho use ot water,
aides the fields to bo thoroughly drain
ed at harvest and, most Important of
all, makes possible the use of 1m
proved self-binders and other modsrn
agricultural machinery.

“Prof." Lipp’s formula:
Jjli-has been reported to me that par
ties who me selling to tho public the
rif^ht to manufacture a fertilizer for
mula compounded by "Prof" Michael
L/jps, have stated that I endorsed this
formula, and also that 1 have analyzed
it/ ; and that it runs 10-4-4. I wish to
state, in the most emphatic manner,
that I have not analyzed this formula,
and that, according to the teritls of
the formula Itself, it is impossible for
It to run 10-4-4, and that Its compos!*
tion Is more nearly 1-1-1. Further*
more, that If the reports which X re
ceived arc true, the parties selling this
formula are attempting to swindle aftd
deceive the agricultural public.
, t do not approve of the formula. It
is not scientific, and I am ready to fur
nish a better formula free of all cost
to any who are interested in the mak
ing of compost, and who will apply to
the Agricultural Department.
