Marconi, the electrician who has so long '
conducted experiments with wireless
telegraphy, has so far perfected his sys- '
tem as to send aud receive messages with
the greatest accuracy across the Atlantic, '
this result having been achieved on Sun

At the convention of temperance ad
vocates of the State of Delaware, held in
Dover last week for the purpose of devis
ing legislation to be submitted to the
coming session of the Delaware Legis
lature, it was determined to urge the
passage of a local option measure giving
the voters of- the State an opportunity to
express their sentiments on the temper
ance question at the ballot box, A reso
lution was passed condemning the “bottle
and bucket” law and urging its repeal.
A new State temperance alliance was
formed and a vigorous campaign is to be
pursued until better temperance legisla

Prominent representative of the aduiiu

course of certain publications which are
spreading the report that Germany is en
deavoring, through her Venezuelan
claims, to secure a naval base on this

anated from certain naval officers appears
to have escaped the notice of the admin
istration. That they are groundless,
however, is shown by the memorandum
presented to. Secretary Hay by the Ger
man Ambassador on Dec. 11, in which he
says, “We declare especially that under
no circumstances do we consider in our
proceedings the acquisition or the per
manent occupation of Venezuelan
territory.”

DIVISION OF RURAL DELIVERY.
Washington, Dec. 17, 1903.
The Postmaster—Sir : The Depart
ment looks to the patrons of the Rural
Free Delivery service who are receiving
the benefits of the service, to use their
utmost personal endeavors, and also to
exert their influence with the Road Sup
ervisors, or with those officials who are
respousible for the conditiou of the high
ways; to the end that the roads traveled
by rural carriers may be always kept open
and iu such passable shape that the ser
vice can be regularly and punctually
performed. _
Should the regularity of the service be
needlessly destroyed as the result of inat
tention and lack of care bestowed on the
highways, the permanent withdrawal of
the delivery will very likely result.
Rural letter carriers are required to
serve their routes regularly at all seasons
of the year and in every kind of weather,
when it can be done without seriously
imperiling their lives or endangering
their conveyances or the U. S. mail which
is iu their custody.
Patrons should clear away the snow
drifts, so that carriers can drive up to and
reach boxes from their vehicles without
dismouuting.
It is not a part of the carrier’s duty to
break out the roads after severe snow
storms.
Rural carriers are expected to energet
ically try to serve their routes even
though the conditions may be extremely
adverse, and any undue lack of zeal on
their part should be promptly brought to
the attention of this office for sucbactiou
as the mtrits of the case require.

It will be good news to the mothers of
small children to learn that croup can be
prevented. The first sign of cioup is
hoarseness. A day or two before the
attack the child becouies hoarse. This is
soon followed by a peculiar rough cough.
Give Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy freely
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the rough cough appears, and
it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In
this way all danger aud anxiety maybe
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never been
known to fail. It is. iu fact, the only
remedy that can always be depended upon
and that is pleasant and safe to take.

THE J~OTTIR/Isr-A.Xj : DECEMBER 26, 1902.
WASHINGTON LETTER
From our regular correspondent.
Washington, Dec. 23rd, 1902.
A most sanguine view of the Venezue
lan situation prevails in official circles in
Washington. Acceptances of the arbi
tration proposals forwarded by Secretary
Hay have been received, and although
there are some conditions imposed which
will complicate and prolong the prelim
inaries, it is believed that both Great
Britain and Germany are acting in good
faith and will be reasonable when the
actual negotiations are begun. Prompted
by previous experiences in collecting
debts from South American Countries,
both nations are endeavoring to secure
some guarantee of the payment of such
award as may be made by the arbitrators.
It has been frankly stated by the admin
istration that it will be impossible for the
United States to make such guarantee.
To do so would, in the opinion of the
President and his advisors, establish a
precedent which must eventually lead to
all Europe lookiug to the United States as
the financial backer of the various South
American nations. On the other hand,
the administration stands ready with
assurances of the utmost protection it is
in its power to give, to any private con
cern which will furnish the guarantee
demanded. It is known that a represen
tative of the Seligmans came to Washing
ton last week to confer with the President
and Secretary Hay with a view to secur
ing governmental endoisement to a loan
which would satisfy the claims of the
allies, but the attempt resulted in failure.
At a more recent conference between Sec
retary Hay, Ambassador Herbert and
Senator Depew, the latter representing
the Seligmans, Mr. Hay pointed to the
long list of instances where the United
States had enforced justice to its citizens
by foreign countries and it is hoped that
a satisfactory settlement will be the out
come of the discussion.

Tne blockade of Venezuelan ports,
according to previous notice, became
effective on Saturday at 3 p. m. Should
the Caracas, which sailed from New York
before the blockade was declared, arrive
at La Guayra or other blockaded ports
after that time the allies will be entirely
within their right in refusing her admis
sion, notwithstanding sensational reports
to the contrary. This statement is based
on article 40 of the United States Naval
code which expressly stipulates that under
such circumstances the only obligation on
the prrt of the blockading forces is to
inform the approaching vessel of the
existence of a blockade, and this custom
. has been followed by the United States in
> _
several instances.

1 Congress adjourned on Saturday to
- meet again on J-an. 5. The most inter
-1 esting feature of the closing hours of the
■ first session was the discussion of the
r Cuban treaty which took place, not on
- the floor of either House, but in the lob
-1 bies and committee rooms. The terms of
the treaty are in accordance with the
predictions made in these letters, except
1 that a reduction of 25 per cent is allowed
. from the Dingley rates on imports from
Cuba. In some instances, the discounts
t on American goods going into Cuba will
. be as high as 40 per cent from the duties
3 on goods from other nations but the gen
f eral average will be 33J3 per cent. Cou
s siderable interest aud some apprehension
has attached to the question of ratifica
tion. There are authorities in Congress
who say that the Senate has full power to
ratify a treaty negotiated by the President
without the sanction of the House and
there are many others who claim that
where a treaty modifies the revenue laws
the concurrence of the House is essential,
j While the problem promises to become
, the subject of considerable debate in the
’ Senate Committee on Foreign Relations,
j it is not believed that it will prove a
serious obstacle. Representative Payne
a told your correspondent that he was sure
the prerogatives of the House would be
j respected and that he anticipated that the
, treaty would be promptly ratified. He
suggested that if the treaty was ratified by
, the Senate without a clause requiring the
sanction of the House, a course he deemed
, improbable, it was quite likely that the
President would then bring the matter to
, the attention of the House with the rec
ommendation that such legislatiou be
enacted as might be necessary to make its
i provisious effective.
i ***
The House has appropriated #500,000 to
be expended under the direction of the
; Attorney General in the enforcement of
auti-trust laws The appropriation was
made on the impulse of the moment aud
as an amendment to the legislative and
judicial bill, but virtually conforms to the
bill offered by Representative Hepburn
soon after Congress convened. It is the
opinion of many members of both houses
of Congress that this will be the extent of
the anti-trust legislatiou at this session.
It is believed that the Senate will approve
the amendment aud it will then be argued
tbat it would be wiser to wait until the
Attorney General has deuioustrated the
lull scope of the present laws as well as
their deficiencies before attempting to*
enact new law or atneud the old cues.

But one question remains to be settled
before the Colombian treaty will be ready
to be signed, and that is the question of
annual rental of the required zone of land.
■ Colombia represents that at the present
time she receives revenues amounting to
, upwards of $400,000 for the zone. From
the Panama Railway she receives #256,000
. aud the remainder from other sources,
such as port, tonnage and lighthouse
dues, etc. She therefore demands that
the United States agree to an annual
rental of #500,000 which amount Secre
tary Hay regards as too large. The init
ial payment has been agreed upon and
will amount to #10,000,000. It is believed
by the administration that the existing
difference will be overcome and that the
treaty will be ready for the Senate when
Congress reconvenes on Jan. 5.
Scotland’s Two Great Cities.
The real life of a country centers largely in its
cities. No one, to be sure, should miss the de
lightful country life one finds in the provinces
and rural parts of old England, yet London is
England,—London is ju9t about the center of this
terrestrial ball. Time spent among the High
landers in their rude retreats, with the rural
Scottish folk, and along the fascinating “lochs”
is time well and pleasantly spent; but one couldn’t
miss the life in the cities and say that he had seen
Scotch life in its best. Glasgow and Edinburgh
are the two great citie9 ot Scotland, and their very
difference makes them interesting.
Glasgow* i 9 not a very beautiful city. It is
something like our own great city of Pittsburg,—
smoke, dirt, dust, hustle, clatter. Manufacturing
is the principal industry. You are struck at once
by the magnitude of these great manufacturing
plants and the height of the chimneys coming
from them,—great cylinders of brick, they rise
like the columns ot ancient Thebes. The Saint
Rollux Chemical Work 9 cover an area of fifteen
acres. In the center of this immense plant stands
a giant chimney four hundred and thirty-five feet
high, and even this is over-topped by its neighbor,
four hundred and fifty-five feet—probably the
highest chimney in the world.
The town has some fine public buildings and a
very good University. The municipal govern
ment of Glasgow is the cleanest and best of any
city in that part of the world—perhaps in any
part of the world. Political influence in city
affaiis has been practically eliminated. A plain,
substantial city government controls everything
pertaining to the welfare, health, and use of the
great municipal body. The police are not the
hirelings of a political ring; and it is unnecessary
to comment upon the efficiency of the Glasgow
police.
A fine supply of water is obtained for the city
from Lake Katrine,a lake in the Highlands forty
two miles away. They pointed with pride to the
fact that they had expended over ten millions of
dollars (!ion the water plant, and we who have
been drinking the Schuylkill cocktail for some
years were ashamed to tell them how much Phila
delphia had appropriated for the bettering of her
political water supply. And we found it rather a
change to ride on a city controlled electric railway
—fine large cars they are, where you can sit on
the top and see things and get the air—and all for
the nominal sum of two cents, or even less, in our
money And then we thought again—but these
are thoughts for the economist.
It is unnecessary to tell anyone who is familiar
with Scott’s Rob Roy anything concerning the
wonders of Glasgow’s Cathedral. A few chapters
of this romance make as complete a guide-book
tothisasoneo.au purchase. The crypt—one of
the largest in any minster—is by far the most
interesting part of this great structure. Its sixty
five pillars are surmounted by exquisitely carved
capitals, and the general effect is that of a mighty
, sepulchre.
Quite in contrast with this fine early English
1 church there stands in the very heart of the slum
district of Glasgow a very plain and quaint Quaker
. meeting house—the ouly Quaker church I saw in
. Scotland. This small place of worship forms an
I integral part of a mighty project and great work
of one of England’s foremost champions of
1 Quakerism.
An American is surprised and shocked at the
i great number of crippled and deformed children
he sees in the streets of Glasgow. In the poorer
3 tenement portions of the city it seemed to me that
* forty per cent of the children were deformed,—
1 the poor little chaps making a melancholy picture
j a9 we saw them playing in the streets. I am told
that this is one of the hereditary results of child
labor in factories—a thing, thank Heaven, that
Britain has put an end to by strong prohibitory
statutes.
3 There are many and various things to see in old
* Glasgow after all,—the University buildings and
2 library; Kelvingrove Park, from which a mag
a niflcent panoramic view of the town is obtained;
the flower gardens; and those fine docks and har
-1 bors, iuto which are coming great ships from all
" parts of the commercial world,
f Edinburgh is very different from Glasgow. It
e is well to see the latter first; it affords a good
t background to set off' more brilliantly the real
gem. It is hard to draw a parallel between Amer-
ican and British cities. They are so very different,
l But if Glasgow is the Pittsburg of Britain, I should
s say that Edinburgh i 9 the Washington. My first
j impression of Princess street was that I had land
ed on Pennsylvania avenue. But the comparison
s is not a good one at all. Washington, like Paris,
- is new and artificial; Edinburgh is old andnatur
- ally beautiful. Washington is iu bas-relief; Edin
a burgh grew naturally iuto its place of magnifi
cence and beauty.
The people of Edinburgh are vastly different
s from those of Glasgow. Glasgow is the seat of the
o moneyed aristocrats, the stamping-ground of the
nouveau riche; Edinburgh is the center of the
political, diplomatic, aud educated oligarchy of
Scotland.
t Historically, Edinburgh is the city of Scotland,
s and historical interest centers around its two great
buildings—the palace and the castle.
To those ot the readers of this who are familiar
e with the history of Scotland’s sovereigns, and
e especially with the life of Mary Stuart, it is unnec
t essary to speak much concerning old Holyrood
a Pal ice. The morniug spent in this old place I
count one of the most interesting spent on the
e other side of the water. The very air ot the place
e is dramatic. Everything seems to point to the
i tragic life of Mary—Scotland’s beautiful but
a unfortunate queen. Here is the picture gallery,
the walls hung with portraits ot her illustrious
‘ ancestors; her sleeping apartments and the little
’ room from which she was dragged to witness the
j murder of Rizzio; the stairs down which bis life
| less body was llung; and her private chamber
where secret councils were held,—all these me*
“ morials ot Scotland’s dramatic history. Adjaceut
3 is the ruiucd chapel where many of Scotland’s
- noblest are buried. And overlooking all frowns
a old Arthur’s Seat, that high and mighty cliff trom
which, tradition says, the greut warrior beheld
9 his conquering soldiery. To feel it all you must
see it, and to appreciate it you must have some
spurk ot sentiment in your soul. Mere words
become idle prattle when used to portray the
3 dramatic incidents in the life of a nation,
i But I suppose the castle is the chief glory of
f Edinburgh. It is grandly situated on the summit
. of a bold rock, and slopes gently and gradually to
* Holyrood on the East, hut descends almost per*
‘ pendicularly ou the other three sides. This was
I the fortified uest of the old Scottish kings, and it
was within this rocky tortress that was born
| James the Sixth of Scotland, who was destined to
become James the First of England and unite the
* destinies of the two nations. There are many
i things ot interest within the castle, but the thing
f j which interested me most was the regiment ot
Highland soldiers being drilled on the esplanade.
In their natty Highland dress these sturdy boys
‘ presented a striking appearance, und constitute a
l uo mean part of Britain’s splendid lookiug
soldiery.
, On coming from the castle you pass St Giles
Church, the oldest parish church in the city, and
\ the scene of many of the labors of John Knox.
' Here it was that Jenny Geddes threw her stool at
Dean Hanna when he tried “to say mass at her
lug” when Charles the First attempted to re
establish the Scottish Episcopal Church.
1 Further on is that magnificent monument to
, Sir Walter Scott,—a tribute of the people to the
.'“Wizard o! the North.” Two hundred feet it
rears its head, aud at its base is a marble statue of
. the novelist and poet.
: | There is much to see. You want to visit the
, alluring shops on Priucess street, the National
Gallery, the Royal Institution, the old Parliament
House, and the tine Uuiversity. But you don’t
* want to spend all your time in museums. You
want to know the people, to talk with them, to
. see their life. A cubby drives up and shouts at
you: “Cab! three hob un hour.” You jump in,
tell the old fellow to show you the town and “tell
you all about it.” He answers you with a merry
twinkle in his eye, “I’ll tell ye all I ken: but what
. I dinna ken, I canna tell ye.” A hasty drive with
I your old Scotch Jehu, and you take the Flying
Scotchman lor the north of England. And you'll
see a good deal going down the east coast, you’ll
; see a deal more in London, and you’ll see the
; glitter aud tinsel ot things Continental; but you’ll
never see a fairer spot than okl Edinburgh—the
inos beautiful city of the North.

Cecil Farmers’ Club.
The Cecil Farmers’ club met
with Jas. H. Maxwell ou the 17th
inst., with following members aud
visitors present: Prest., Alfred
Kirk, Robt. T. Cameron, Cecil E.
Ewing, J. H. Maxwell, Jos. T.
Grove, J. P. Wilson, A. J. Miehen
er, M. L. Thompson, F. R. Cherry,
Robt. K. Rawlings, J. Harry Max
well, A. B. McVey; visitors—
Wayne Reynolds, W. R. Cameron,
W. W. Maxwell, Jos. Coudon, Jos.
Coudon, Jr.
After the reading of the minutes
of previous meeting, the committee
appointed to arrange for the Far
mers’ Institute reported that there
would be three meetings held in
Cecil county this winter, as follows:
Rising Sun, Jan. 24; Zion, Jan. 26;
Cecilton, Jan. 27.
On the call for experiments, Jas.
H. Maxwell reported he had pur
chased a sow about a year ago and
had found it h profitable invest
ment. The sow cost $11.59, and
he had since sold $136 worth of
pigs from her aud still had the sow
and eight pigs.
Jos. T. Grove said he had recent
ly purchased a pair of young mules,
and the members were of the opin
ion that young mules would always
prove a good investment.
R. K. Rawlings had experimented
on 23 acres of wheat. Eight acres
was on stalk ground, on four acres
he had sown whippoorwill peas, on
another piece millet was sown, and
the balance was oats ground. All
had been fertilized alike. The
peas had made excellent pasture
for two weeks and the wheat on
tbat portion was lookiug the best,
with stalk ground second, millet
third and oats the poorest.
Wayne Reynolds related having
tried crimson clover for hog
pasture with satisfactory results.
When the host was called upon
for an essay he responded with the
following:
Fencing on the Farm.
It is once more a pleasure for me to
. have you with me. I would like to know
if farmers don’t work their farms at a loss
by not having them fenced, so they can
change their stock from one field to an
other after harvest. I have noticed a dif
. ference this year more than ever before.
! I had a lot of eight shoats on a clover
field. Some of the members think a hog
’ is not all profit. I will admit that. They
. went off the Ist of September; it seemed
to me there was a fair profit in them as I
1 gave them very little feed for the money
1 they brought.
I have been using a hand separator and
- as I change the cows from one field to
1 another I can readily see a gain of milk.
t I may be a little different in my opinion
I about it from the rest of you but I think
1 it improves my fields to have the stock
- run over them. I have noticed my neigh
j bor has a field not fenced in and has
( tried to get grass several times. I don’t
. know if there has been a hoof on the field
i for years, for a test. If you make a road
■ over your field, you will find the clover
| will come up iu the road first. I think
. then, if we would fence our fields of a
suitable size and pasture them some, we
1 would save enough in the pasture in five
' years to pay for the fence, and we would
. have the pleasure of seeing our stock
f having a change of pasture, which they
seem to enjoy thoroughly. As to the
; kind of fence we are to have I leave it
with you.

McVey said while it was nice for

cattle to have a change of pasture,
he must admit that ho had very
little fencing.
Mr. Rawlings believed in fencing
and thought a change of pasture
was good for cattle, besides the
benefit the fields received from the
tramping of the cattle.
Mr. Wilson stated that fencing
was not as expensive now as it was
in former days, when less wire was
used. He did not think a field
without water was much good for
cattle.
Mr. Grove said he did not have
much fencing at present but intend
ed to soon have more.
Mr. Michener approved of a fonr
rail fence.
Mr. Thompson believed in fenc
ing and a change of pasture.
Mr. Cherry thought pasture
should receive as much care and
attention as tilled fields, but did
not believe in pasturing on high
ground. Thought fencing was
rather expensive.
Mr. Cameron did not approve of
so much fencing and stated that
upland fields were not good for
cattle.
Mr. Reynolds was in favor of
fencing and had good upland pas
ture. Believed meadow should be
top dressed.
Jos. Couden, Jr., who is a gradu
ate of the Md. Agricultural College
was called upon for remarks on
the courses of study and the prac
tical work pursued at the institu
tion. He stated that while the
opportunity was offered for practi
cal farm work, such as plowing,
harrowing, drilling, &c., but very
few of the students availed them
selves of it. The members thought
all students in the agricultural
course should be compelled to de
vote a portion of their time to the
practical part of farming.
The following committee of in
spection of premises was appointed:
F. R. Cherry, Robt. T. Cameron,
A. B. McVey.
The club their adjourned to the
dining room to partake of a sumpt
uous repast which reflected much
credit on the culinary skill of the
Misses Maxwell.
When the club reassembled, the
committee on inspection reported
noting a lot of Poland China and
Chester White hogs, brood sow
with eight pigs and 13 other shoats,
LO head of feeding steers, looking
first class, dairy cattle and horses
looking thrifty, good appearance for
wheat, fodder all in and an abund
ance of hay, straw, oats and corn.
Mr. Grove stated he had a field
which had been badly washed in
one place; had plowed in the
wash and had noticed that it was
greener than any other portion of
the field. He asked why it was
so, but no reason could be assigned.
Mr. Kirk asked concerning the
merits of the disk drill. All who
had seen it in operation stated
that the double disk drill was an
excellent implement, while some
thought the single disk did good
work.
On motion the olub adjourned to
meet with J. P. Wilson on Jan. 21.
