Washington—A grave diplomatic alb
nation bstween the United States and
Colombia has been precipltatsd by the
publication of a letter which Sanor
Pedro Nel Osplna. the Colombian min-
ister, has written to Acting Secretary
Huntington Wilson of the state depart-
msnt, suggesting that It might ba "to-
opportune" for Secretary Knox to visit
Colombia during his projected tour of
Central America.
The Colombian minister first draw-
ing attention to the fact that the views
are his own and not officially those of
his government seriouBly criticises the
United States for no( submitting to
arbitration the difference with Colom-
bia growing out of America's acquiring
the Panama canal zone.
The letter is the personal expression
of the minister without having com-
municated with his government. It
was received at the department in ths
nature of a personal insult to this gov-
ernment.
No action has been taken and no
official would comment on It Sunday
night but the incident is known to
have stirred officials of the United
States to such an extent that the re-
moval of the Colombian minister is
expected as a matter of course. At
present, however, the United States is
disposed to wait until Senor Osplna
deceives the instructions he has asked
for.
Confirmation Expected
In diplomatic circles It was believed
that Colombia, smarting under eight
years of ineffectual attempts to se-
cure arbitration of the canal zone dif-
ferences, would confirm the unofficial
views of her accredited agent.
A profound sensation is looked for,
as it is believed that a termination of
diplomatic relations between this
country and Colombia is In prospect.
MEETS WISHES OF PEOPLE
MANCHU DYNASTY HAS REIGNED
SINCE 1644
Royalist Abandoned All Condition!
Heretofore Insisted On and
Surrender Unconditionally
to Circumstances
Washington—Negotiations will soon
begin for a new treaty with Russia to
replace the convention of 1832 recent-
ly abrogated, the operation of which
will expire at the end of the present
year. Preliminary exchanges have en-
couraged the belief that any feeling
which may have resulted from the de-
nunciation of the old treaty have so
far abated as to justify an effort to
replace It.
Aside from the sentimental consid-
erations which led the United States
and Russia to view with disapproval
mercial and maritime interests, which
would be greatly injured by a tariff
war, have been quietly moving to
bring about the consruction of a new
treaty.
It practically has been decided that:
as soon as Secretary Knox returns to i
Washington from his visit to Central I
America, South America and the West
Indies, negotiations for a new treaty
will be formally initiated. 1
An attempt will b« made to con-j
struct the new treaty so that It shall \
bbe a model In the framing of inter- ,
national agreements for the regula-
tion of trade and commerce. The real
difficulty is expected to be encount-
ered in drafting a substitute for the
article in the existing treaty regarding
rights of travel and residence, which
involve* the troublesome passport
question.
It is thought, however, that the
state department experts have some
Ideas on the subejet whkh. If accept-
able to Russian diplomats, may solve
the problem of framing a provision
that will fully recognize the unlimited
rights of Americans without regard
to religion, to visit Russia without
in any degree compromising the power
reserved by the United States to reg
ulate the character of immigration

Peking—Abdication of the throne of
China by the Manchu dynasty was
proclaimed in an imperial edict at
noon February 12.
Another edict declared that the
throne approved all the conditions
agreed upon by Premier Yuan Shi
Kai and the republics.
Abandoning absolutely all their
prerogatives and surrendering uncon-
ditionally to circumstances of a new
era, the Manchus yielded up their
power, sustained for centuries.
The Chinese throne is thus turned
over to government of a republican
form.
End of the Manchu dynasty's rule
was proclaimed Monday in three simul-
taneous edicts, the first announcing
abdication; the second declaring that
the throne accepted the republic,
while the third approved all the con-
ditions agreed upon by Premier Yuan
Shi Kai and the republicans. This
I third edict created tremendous aston-
I ishment.
| The third edict informed the vlce-
i roys and provincial governors of the
retirement of the throne from polit-
i leal power and instructed them to con-
tinue doing their duty and to preserve
order throughout thevland.
The abdication of the Chines*
| throne by Pu Yl, the child emperor,
brings to an end the powerful Man-
chu dynasty which Has reigned in
China since 1644. The boy ruler baa
been on the throne *lnce November
14. 1908, when the emperor, Kwang
Su, his uncle, died. His father. Prince
Chun, was appointed regtnt and was
a chief figure in China for three year*.
BROOM CORN SEED BED FIRST
THING FOR CONSIDERATION
No. 1.
THE ABOVE ILLUSTRATION IS
NUMBER ONE QUALITY.
(By Luke H Hood. Areola, III.)
In raising broom corn, first thing
to be considered in raising and hand-
ling the crop Is the seed bed.
To get good bed, plough the ground
a* early in the spring as possible,
plough five or six inches deep at least
and let the ground lay until you are
ready to plant. This will give time
for the weed and grass seed to get
started. Then disc It and work down
thoroughly wltb roller, and harrow
it.
The next thing Is seed, and for
one not experienced In taking care of
seed, It will be much better to get
the seed from some good reliable
seedsmen. If, however, the person
should prefer to save his own seed,
he should let the broom -corn stand
In the field until good and^ripe, then
cut and shelve up, leaving it on the
shelf until It is thoroughly cured,
after which it ahould be threshed and
stored in a good dry place.
In testing seed, I find it a good way
to take a sample of the seed and roll
it tightly in a piece of old wollen
cloth,, next, wet this thoroughly
in warm water, and keep in a warm
place for a few days. Then unroll
and you can see what per cent of good
seed you have. Care should be taken
however, to keep the cloth damp.
Plant in rows three feet, four inches
apart about sixty seeds to the rod.
Number 1, which is Standard va-
riety, with as few center stems as pos
sible, la the most desirable quality
that has no kinky or rough tip. With

Acting Judge Allen in court here. '1
am surprised," added the judge, and
then removed from office Vic S.
Docker, county attorney, and John
Berry, county sheriff. He then named
John Overstreet county attorney and
Holmes Davidson sheriff, despite pro-
tests from counsel for the county at-
torney. Within an hour afterward six-
teen places of business were raided
in the heart of the town, the proprie-
tors placed under arrest and their em-
ployes placed under bond as witnesses.
The places raided include hotels, drug
stores, barber shops and pool halls.
The county commissioners ratified the
removals and appointments made by
Judge Allen.
Don't Want Hospital
Lawton, Okla.—The Indians of the
Kiowa, Comanche and Apache trlbei
lo not want an Indian hospital as pro-
posed in a bill introduced in congress
by Representatives Sfcott Ferris. Ai
east, if they must have a hospital
•.hey want the federal government to
pay for it and not expend money from
:he tribal treasury. This was decided
ipon at a Comanche council held
aere this afternoon. The Kiowans and
^omanches have both selected delega
lions to go to Washington to fight thi
Indian hospital bill.
Insurgents Busy

FOREIGN FIELD FOR BROOM
CORN.
Expert* Called in Norton Cm*
Muskogee, Oka.—Expert* account-
ants from Chicago were put on the
witness stand In the trial of W. L Nor-
ton to show that none of the transac-
tions of Norton, while he was presi-
dent of the American National bank
at Bartlesville, were crimlsat.
(By James Jay, Lindsay, Oklahoma.)
It has been my experience that it
Is much cheaper to buy broom corn
seed from those who make a business
of raising pure seed, than it is to
gave it, as broom corn runs out very
easily, and it requires a great deal ot
■work to cut out any smut heads when
it is growing.
One method of seed testing is to
test the 3eed in warm water, but we
have not secured any inefrior seed
from our seedsmen.
In this country the ground is pre
pared by listing, same as for Indian
corn, and is cultivated as soon as po.s-
sible, that is, when it gets about four
Inches high, and should \>e ploughed
as often as possible, chopping out the
big weeds, and afterwards let It ma
ture.
Seventy-five one-hundred seeds
Is planted to t rod. This U deter-
mined, however, according to the
ground. On rich land, one-hundred
seeds should be planted to to the rod,
but on fair land only about eighty.
while you seed it, and placed on slats
about three inches deep, or a good
armful to an eight foot slat. The
depth, however, wil depend on the
condition of the corn, and also wheth-
er the shed is an open or a closed
one. The air should be allowed to
pass freely through the corn.
Leave the corn on the slats eight or
ten days, or until the stems are dry.
Broom corn should be blocked before
bailing a3 It-puts it in better shape
to bale, makes a smoother bale and
doesn't take as many men to handle
it. Let the corn lay In the bulk a
week or ten days. Care should be
taken in baling to straighten the corn,
or placed in small bunches while but-
ted.
We prefer the Australian variety
of seed, as the brush is longer, and
runs more to hurl.
